Silver Ring lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then turned and stared intently at the white-haired rat lying beside her. This guy came from Fuding Mountain in the city; he must have a way.
Silver Ring flicked its tongue and hissed at White Hair a few times: "Hey, there are cars everywhere below, how are we going to cross the road?"
After a month down the mountain, Silver Ring finally gained a general impression of the world below, thanks to White Hair's description.
Now she knows that this thing with four round wheels, which can crush a snake in the blink of an eye, is called a car.
White Hair glanced at Silver Ring listlessly: "The city streets are extremely dangerous; it's safer to walk through the sewers."
The silver-ringed snake's eyes darted around, its tail swaying from side to side, somewhat bewildered: "Sewers? What's that?"
"The city's sewage pipes are only truly safe down there," the white-haired man explained to her in detail. He was explaining, but inwardly he felt a hint of disdain.
This country bumpkin is even dumber than all his unintelligent peers! He must have been incredibly unlucky to have ended up in her hands.
Ugh! I've had absolutely terrible luck lately.
No, once we send this guy to the zoo, he'll immediately go back to Luohan Temple outside the city for seclusion and never come out to play again.
Thinking about this made Bai Mao feel heartbroken.
He was just bored and went to the zoo to visit his fellow practitioners.
Who knew that, without careful attention, he was captured by a powerful figure who threatened him with a demon core, demanding that he go to Fuding Mountain to help deliver a message.
Damn it, Penang is hundreds of kilometers away from Mount Fook Ting... He lost his demon core and his ability to transform into human form. With just four legs... how long would it take him to get there!
For the sake of his demon core, the white-haired man had no choice but to compromise.
He struggled terribly, climbing to Fuding Mountain on all fours. But who could tell him... why he became a prisoner of a stupid snake? Not only that, but he was also unlucky enough to have his leg broken.
White Hair glanced furtively at Silver Ring a few times, a hint of doubt flashing in his beady eyes.
This country bumpkin snake had low cultivation, so why was he so afraid of it?
Although he was a rodent and naturally afraid of snakes, his cultivation level was many times higher than that of the snake. Logically, he should have been able to overcome his innate fear.
Having cultivated for over eight hundred years, he had long since attained human form and would never have felt fear towards a snake over three hundred years old. Yet, the moment he saw Silver Ring on Mount Fuding, he trembled with fear from the bottom of his heart.
Monsters have a natural instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. He was afraid of Silver Ring, which is why he had the urge to shake her off and run away after descending the mountain.
Silver Ring's eyes remained motionless for a short while before it shook its head and slapped away White Hair's suggestion.
She's a clean snake, how could she climb up a sewage pipe?
—No, I absolutely will not go.
Silver Ring flicked its tongue, revealing two white, gleaming teeth, and said with a hint of threat, "Is there any other way?"
Hmph, you cunning stinking rat, don't think she knows nothing.
She has lived for hundreds of years, and to this day, apart from her sworn brother, no other animal can communicate with her without difficulty. But this mouse can talk to her just like her brother.
He's definitely not simple.
He seemed to know more than his sworn brother, so I don't believe he didn't have another way to cross the road.
The silver-ringed snake's tongue twitched from side to side, a glint of light flashing on its curved fangs. The meaning was clear: he had to find a way to help her, or she would bite him.
White Hair's eyes rolled upwards almost imperceptibly, and he too seemed to be itching to bite, saying, "There's no other way. If we don't use the sewers, we have to cross the road. But at night, there are fewer cars on the road..."
Deep down, Bai Mao secretly wished she would cross the street right now, and then... hehehe, preferably get run over by a car and turned into a meat patty. But the thought of his demon core being confiscated made him chicken out.
Sigh, let's get her safely to the zoo! As for what happens inside...
Hmph! That's our fellow cultivator's territory.
He knew better than anyone what kind of place that was. He refused to believe that this wretched fellow would ever come out alive.
Speaking of which, it's really strange! Everyone in the demon world knows that Penang Zoo is actually a prison for demons... Any demon would rather be as far away from this zoo as possible.
