Lan Zhi found an abandoned courtyard on the edge of a village at the foot of Baishan Mountain. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. The doors of two of the three rooms were kicked in, and the furniture in the house was covered with dust. In the middle house, there were still dishes and chopsticks on the table, and the food inside had long been moldy and spoiled.
Lan Zhi came to the house on the east side, which was a storage room. The family was not rich before, so most of the storage room was empty.
Lan Zhi brought a single mattress with her, but she was not in a hurry to take it out because she did not plan to sleep tonight. She wanted to familiarize herself with the environment around Baishan first. As for the single bed, it would not be too late to take it out when she went to bed.
Starting from tomorrow, Lan Zhi plans to place "spies" nearby. After all, the entire mountain is too large, and she doesn't know which route the other party will take. Lan Zhi doesn't have the ability to clone herself, but she has many poisonous insects, and they are all her spies.
Lan Zhi walked out of the village. It was already very late at night and there was no one on the road. Lan Zhi walked around the periphery of Baishan Mountain, trying to remember how many roads there were up and down the mountain. However, the sky was dark tonight and there was miasma on the mountain, making it difficult to distinguish. Fortunately, she had plenty of patience. As she walked, Lan Zhi took out the dried fish she had brought with her before leaving, and opened the belly of the fish with her hands. She saw many poisonous insects wriggling inside. These poisonous insects looked like butterflies, but were only as big as ants.
Flying fish Gu have no fixed color. Some are dark red, some are pure black, some are pure white, and some have wings with colorful colors, which look flashy. Lan Zhi sprinkled the Gu insects out as she walked.
"Fly to the tree and keep an eye on it. Don't hurt anyone yet. Follow my orders..." Lan Zhi's voice was very low, and she didn't know if they understood. The advantages of the poisonous insects are loyalty and obedience, but their disadvantages are that they don't have good brains and limited IQ.
Each flying fish Gu contains a deadly poison, but the people living on Baishan Mountain are all demon cultivators, so Lan Zhi is not worried that the Gu insects she cultivated will kill innocent people, because there are no innocent people on the entire mountain, and all innocent people have been killed by the demon cultivators.
As she walked, Lan Zhi suddenly felt something was wrong.
She looked up and found that the miasma on the mountain was gradually becoming thinner.
"What's going on?"
Lan Zhi stopped and wondered in her heart: The Earth Flame was born?
But she just arrived in Baishan today!
The mountain caught fire at night?
This speed is too fast...
Lan Zhi didn't dare to conclude whether it was the earth flame, so she found a place to hide and continued to wait and see. You know, the miasma on Baishan has existed for a long time. The court secretly studied ways to make the miasma disappear, and finally concluded that there was no way.
Only the earth's flames can burn away the miasma here.
Lan Zhi watched for a while and then continued to walk around the mountain. This time she quickened her pace, trying to release all the poisonous insects. The miasma of Baishan had completely dissipated, but there was no sight of the green flame. Lan Zhi was already getting anxious before she had even finished circling the entire mountain. Who knew whether the demon cultivator had escaped or not?
"I'm so stupid..." Lan Zhi slapped her forehead, then remembered that she was not alone, so she let the hamster out.
Then he released the ferocious beast White Jade.
"You two will help me keep an eye on this mountain. If anyone escapes, notify me immediately through the contract. Understand?"
"Okay, master!" Bai Humber was very obedient. It held a roasted rabbit in its two paws, its mouth full of grease. When it heard Lan Zhi's order, it put away the rabbit with a serious look.
Bai Feicui looked up to the sky and wanted to roar, but Lan Zhi slapped her in the face and said, "Be quiet."
"Ouch..." A look of resentment flashed in Bai Feicui's eyes, as if he was blaming Lan Zhi for suppressing his nature. His body size was actually comparable to that of an elephant, but in front of Lan Zhi, he didn't dare to become so tall. At this moment, he was still the size of a horse.
White Jade spread its four legs, its steps light and graceful. It ran in the moonlight with a nimble and swift body. In just two steps, it surpassed the hamster Amber and disappeared into the night.
The hamster Amber, unwilling to be outdone, also broke into a run, relaying a message to Lan Zhi through the contract as she ran: "Master, just wait where you are! Wherever I run, I'll leave a special magnetic field. If a stranger steps into that magnetic field, I'll be able to sense it."
It confidently assured: "As long as I run around this mountain, no one will be able to leave the mountain!"
Hearing it say that, it seemed that the help of White Feicui was not necessary. However, Lan Zhi still did not take White Feicui back. One more ferocious beast meant one more protection.
Lan Zhi was not idle either. She poured out the remaining poisonous insects and let them wait by her side.
The poisonous insects were flying happily in the night, and some of them even quietly landed on the back of Lan Zhi's hand, as if it was a very happy thing to touch her skin. Lan Zhi felt a little itchy and shook off the poor little poisonous insect.
The next moment, a brilliant green light suddenly appeared on the White Mountain!
The light was bright and dazzling, illuminating all directions. All the poisonous insects were startled, and then they all became excited, eager to pounce on the huge, beautiful blue flame on the mountain.
Lan Zhi had originally hoped to use them to trap the fleeing demon cultivator, but judging by their posture, the poisonous insects were clearly very interested in fire. They weren't moths, so why would they want to fly into the fire? Lan Zhi was speechless. She pried open the fish's belly with her hands and drove them all back.
The fire spread rapidly, transforming the entire mountain into a sea of cyan flames. Then, the fire stopped spreading outwards and remained confined within the confines of White Mountain. Lan Zhi knew that the demon cultivator must have escaped, but she didn't know which path he had taken...
“Ouch!!”
An excited howl sounded.
Lan Zhi: “…”
Bai Feicui cannot speak human language yet, but it knows how to convey its emotions to Lan Zhi through the contract. It is very happy and proud now, and can't wait to take credit from Lan Zhi, because the unlucky demon cultivator Bai Wenhu had just escaped from the mountain and bumped into Bai Feicui.
Lan Zhi rushed over and saw Bai Wenhu holding a piece of blood-red skin in his hand with a frightened expression on his face.
"Ferocious beast?" Bai Wenhu didn't know where the other party came from. He was almost caught up by the green flame just now. Now he just wanted to escape and didn't think about anything else.
"Get out of the way!" Bai Wenhu threw the blood baby skin out, trying to scare Bai Feicui away.
Bai Feicui was not afraid at all and dodged the attack nimbly, but the blood baby skin had a chasing function and turned around and pounced towards Bai Feicui's neck.
