The further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. It was as if this place was an illusion. Could it be that she had stepped into a formation as soon as she entered, without even realizing it?
With this idea in mind, he simply stopped, sat down on the spot, set up a defensive formation around himself, and began to seriously study it.
Everything here appears to be in motion, but upon closer inspection...
But then I realized they were all relatively still, like fish swimming in the water at my feet, always following a fixed trajectory, and the white clouds beside me seemed to have only three or five fixed shapes.
Looking up at the grass on the black soil, the wind blows in the same direction, and the angle of inclination is always a fixed 45 degrees.
At first glance, everything seems fine, but upon closer inspection, one will discover many illogical aspects.
It's like a moving scroll, slowly unfolding, but you can't see what will appear next.
Jian Ning frowned. So much time had passed, and she still hadn't found the key to the array. Moreover, she hadn't detected any fluctuations of spiritual energy. So how did this illusion appear? It was truly strange.
After thinking for a while, I still couldn't figure it out, so I decided to give up.
He took out a dozen Five Thunder Talismans from his storage bracelet, took out two, and threw them at the swimming fish in the water, deciding to bombard this constantly moving thing first.
The thunder rumbled continuously in the space, but even though the fish was blasted black and crackling with electricity, it did not affect its swimming trajectory at all.
It seemed this wasn't the right place. Jian Ning changed her target, this time to the fiery red sun that was half-exposed not far below her feet. This time, she didn't use the Five Thunder Talisman. Thinking that water could overcome fire, she decided to try a Water Spirit Talisman to see how effective it would be.
As a result, the sun was completely submerged in water, but nothing changed.
This really enraged Jian Ning, who started throwing all sorts of talismans down at her as if they were free.
Sure enough, this chaotic barrage of punches killed the master. It's unclear what mechanism the frenzied bombardment of talismans triggered, but suddenly there was a loud bang.
The change in the scene where Jian Ning is now has suddenly thrown her into another space.
It was pitch black and cold, without a single ray of light, and there was a constant hissing sound.
Hearing the sound, Jian Ning couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. Her first thought was that she had fallen into a snake pit.
What I heard was clearly the sound of a snake flicking its tongue.
He quickly took out another powerful flashlight, shone it around, and in a flash, he flew into the air.
Not only underfoot, but all around the cave, there were countless colorful venomous snakes, their tongues flicking out.
In Jian Ning's understanding, the more venomous a snake is, the more vibrant its markings. Judging by the number of snakes here, there must be tens of thousands of deadly venomous snakes.
Even their saliva was highly toxic. Before it even attacked her, the stench made her vision blur and her head spin. She quickly pulled out a poison-avoiding pill and put it in her mouth.
Although I don't know how effective it will be, at least it will work to some extent.
Looking up, it seemed that the place they were in was the bottom of a well. There was no water below, only poisonous snakes, but through the narrow opening of the well, they could see the azure sky outside, and occasionally birds would fly by.
Without hesitation, Jian Ning shielded her body with a spiritual energy barrier, stepped on the Ruoshui Sword, and flew straight towards the well.
Seeing that Jian Ning was about to run away, these venomous snakes were not happy. They had finally found some food, how could they let her leave like that? Without even needing to be commanded, they flew up, spitting venom.
Their targets were basically Jian Ning's lower body.
"If you want to bite me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Jian Ning waved her hand, and invisible spiritual fire flew out. It burned fiercely beneath her feet, instantly blocking all the venomous snakes that were about to chase after her and bite her.
Although the air temperature dropped sharply, the venomous snakes below were instantly incinerated upon contact with the invisible spiritual fire. There was nowhere for them to hide.
When Jian Ning flew to the cave entrance, she discovered that there was an array sealing the well opening, presumably to prevent the poisonous snakes below from climbing up.
However, this predicament was no problem for her; she resolved it in no time.
When it flew up from the bottom of the well, the invisible spiritual fire was withdrawn, and the poisonous snakes below were probably all burned to death. Now, all that could be smelled was the aroma of roasted snake meat.
The hissing of the venomous snakes could no longer be heard.
Jian Ning looked up and surveyed her surroundings, realizing that this was probably the true appearance of the place.
In the distance stands a row of stilted houses made of bamboo. They are dilapidated and have stood for who knows how long.
Weeds grew everywhere, leaving no place to put your feet.
The stone path leading to the stilted house was also covered by weeds. However, there were obvious marks from swords and knives, so it must have been Xiao Lingfeng. Besides him, probably no one else had come here.
"Xiao Lingfeng, where are you?" Jian Ning gathered her qi in her dantian and called out again.
"I'm here, Xiao Ning. How did you get here?" Xiao Lingfeng poked his body out from a relatively intact stilted house, looking at Jian Ning with a big smile on his face.
"What do you think? I asked you to find medicine, so why did you end up in such a godforsaken place?"
"If Huang Fugui hadn't followed your scent, I wouldn't have found this place." Jian Ning flew over on her sword and threw herself into Xiao Lingfeng's arms.
I took a deep breath of his crisp, clean scent, and only then did it feel somewhat real.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I was just chasing a ferret and accidentally went too far. Look, it's this guy." Xiao Lingfeng said, pulling a small, fluffy, snow-white animal out of his clothes.
Her small eyes were as black as glistening grapes, and she let out a soft moan as she looked at Jian Ning.
"You like it, right? I think you definitely will. Ferrets are hard to catch, so I was thinking of giving it to you as a pet." Xiao Lingfeng realized he had been a bit impulsive. He then scratched his head sheepishly.
"Thank you so much. Huang Fugui alone is enough of a hassle for me. But this little guy seems quite intelligent. Tell me, what do you want to do by leading us here?"
Jian Ning lifted the ferret by its collar with one hand, shook it a couple of times, and asked.
“Xiao Ning, it’s not Huang Fugui, how could it possibly talk?” Xiao Lingfeng felt that it was impossible for all the animals here to be able to communicate with humans without any problems.
This little ferret is obviously still a cub, how could it understand Jian Ning's words?
