As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, the two women's first action was not to run away immediately, but to pick up the fruit on the ground.
Bai Mengyan was wearing a skirt, so there was nowhere to put them; she just grabbed two in one hand.
Ni Xueqin, on the other hand, wore a vest with many pockets, which allowed her to easily stuff the remaining nine fruits into it.
Although Ni Xueqin has grown taller, she has become thinner.
Otherwise, the scene would be quite awkward.
"Where do you want to run?" Bai Mengyan asked.
"Run further away!" Ling Yi said, and randomly picked a direction to run.
The two women didn't have Kung Fu Hustle to think about anything else at the moment.
Whether the monster was powerful or not is unknown, but that thundercloud in the sky was truly terrifying.
This run lasted for two hours.
The three of them ran aimlessly, out of the peach orchard, over a mountain, and finally stopped in an Lin Zhong.
"Now, one good news and one bad news!" Ni Xueqin said, panting heavily.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at her, Ni Xueqin said, "The bad news is, we're lost. The good news is, we shouldn't starve to death anytime soon!"
"Another orchard? Have we stumbled into the territory of some Great Demon again?" Bai Mengyan, still shaken.
"It's just an ordinary apple tree!" Ling Yi said.
This is indeed an apple orchard, and the apples on the trees are almost ripe, a vibrant red, with every tree laden with fruit.
"Why are there apple trees? The peach blossoms are blooming over there, but the apples are ripe here?" Bai Mengyan some common sense; the season for peach blossoms wasn't the season for apples to ripen.
"Either the peach orchard is abnormal, or the apple orchard is abnormal!"
Ni Xueqin walked up to an apple tree, kicked it hard, and then quickly retreated.
The apple tree suddenly shook violently, and a large number of apples fell like raindrops.
Ni Xueqin took one; the apple was quite large, too big to hold in one hand. After a moment's hesitation, she took a bite.
"It tastes pretty good, but it's probably not a magic fruit. It doesn't have that kind of... well, that feeling that makes you feel lightheaded!" Ni Xueqin commented.
However, this evaluation is inexplicably somewhat irreverent.
Those who know will know you're talking about fruit; those who don't might think you're talking about something strange.
"How could there be apple trees in such a deep mountain Old Lin? And such a large area at that!" Bai Mengyan remained vigilant, looking around.
"These must have been planted by someone. There are no signs of rotten apples on the ground, which proves that these apples are frequently picked."
"Perhaps it's not human!" Ling Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengyan and Ni Xueqin tensed up again.
"Didn't you find this strange along the way?" Ling Yi asked.
"What's strange about it?"
"We've traveled so far, even crossed a mountain, but we haven't seen a single animal, not even a bird in the sky."
After Ling Yi explained it to them, the two women Dodge.
"The only explanation is that we are still in the territory of some Great Demon, and other animals have either been eaten or dare not enter this area."
"No way! I don't want to become a monster's snack!"
"Sister, you're so beautiful, you might become a demon's wife. Relatively speaking, the two of us are more likely to become snacks," Ni Xueqin joked.
"What if it's a female demon?" Bai Mengyan asked, glancing at Ling Yi.
"Haha, let's have some snacks then, one bite at a time, no salt, no chili, and no cumin!"
"What the hell? No salt? "Ling Yi was speechless.
Bai Mengyan wanted to laugh, but she held it back, afraid that her laughter would attract a barrage of kisses.
"It's getting dark, we can't wander around aimlessly, or it will be even more dangerous. Let's explore this place first and find a place to rest for the night."
The three of them bypassed the apple orchard and walked along the foot of a mountain.
During their journey, they discovered a mountain spring, and next to the spring, there was a huge cave.
Ling Yi cautiously peered inside the cave from the entrance.
"There's no strange smell, and I don't Aura any danger. I'll go in and check it out!"
Ni Xueqin tugged at his sleeve. "Shouldn't you reconsider? Doesn't it seem strange that such a odd cave exists here?"
"That's right, if this is Great Demon's lair, aren't we just delivering food to its doorstep?" Bai Mengyan added.
"You wait here. If anything seems amiss, turn around and run."
Ling Yi was confident in his own abilities, or more accurately, he was confident in his cheat-like abilities.
The Infinite Passive Download Aura is always active.
After Ling Yi entered the cave, he found that Bai Mengyan and Ni Xueqin had followed him in.
Ling Yi looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"I'm scared!" Bai Mengyan said awkwardly.
"Ahem, it's not that I'm scared, I just feel it's not good for the three of us to be separated right now. Even if there's danger, we can still help you!"
"Yes, how could we let you face danger alone? Yes, that's it!"
Ling Yi didn't bother to expose him and turned to continue walking forward.
However, to their surprise, the depth of the cave exceeded their expectations.
Moreover, the further you go, the larger the cave becomes.
The cave walls are inlaid with various Light Emission Shitou, which, like light bulbs, illuminate the otherwise dim cave.
Moreover, the cave felt completely dry, though the temperature was rather low.
The further you go in, the lower the temperature gets.
Fortunately, the temperature was tolerable for all three of them.
"I can guarantee that we're delivering snacks from afar; this is clearly the lair of Great Demon," Ni Xueqin said.
"Do we... do we still want to go forward?" Bai Mengyan, holding Ni Xueqin's hand tightly.
Ling Yi stopped, his expression strange.
"What's wrong?" Ni Xueqin asked.
Do you guys remember the background music at the beginning of the film?
"The opening theme music for The Legend of the Lady White Snake? 'A Once-in-a-Thousand-Year Wait'?" Bai Mengyan asked.
"It's A Once-in-a-Thousand-Year Wait, but not the whole thing—just that short background music at the beginning!"
Bai Mengyan bewildered, but Ni Xueqin seemed to realize something and asked with wide eyes, "You don't mean to say that the White Snake is here, do you?"
" Lady White Snake, Bai Suzhen? Really? That's wonderful!" Bai Mengyan exclaimed in delight.
"According to the character settings in the TV series, Bai Suzhen is a good person, so she probably wouldn't treat us like snacks, right?"
Ling Yi nodded. " Guanyin Bodhisattva once said that Bai Suzhen possesses Merit, and as long as she settles the karmic Karma with the shepherd boy from a thousand years ago, that is, Xu Xian, she can become an immortal."
" Bai Suzhen cannot and will not kill indiscriminately; we probably won't become White Snake snacks!"
"What are you waiting for? I want to see Bai Suzhen! I want to see the goddess!" Bai Mengyan was no longer afraid.
"You guys should prepare yourselves mentally!" Ling Yi said.
What kind of mental preparation?
Ling Yi chuckled and said, "You'll find out soon enough."
With that, Ling Yi took a step forward.
"He's acting all mysterious and speaking unclearly. There's something strange about this guy!" Bai Mengyan whispered to Ni Xueqin.
"Could you speak even quieter!" Ni Xueqin was speechless; it was a classic case of burying one's head in the sand.
"I think you should be somewhat prepared. I have a pretty good idea of what's going on!" Ni Xueqin reminded her, while also showing an expectant expression.
"What kind of mental preparation is this?!"
"Hehe, you'll see in a minute!"
"Hey, you guys are going too far! You're bullying me!"
Ling Yi, however, turned off the download function of the Infinite Passive Download Aura and directly activated the aura's Probe function.
[ Bai Suzhen (a thousand-year-old snake demon)]
[ Battle Power: 2500 (24.5G)]
[ Breathing Method: Level 19 (190M)]
[ Summon Wind and Rain: Level 12 (120M)]
[ Mystic Gate Shielding Art: Level 12 (120M)]
[ Mystic Gate Illusion Art: Level 12 (120M)]
[ Art of Creation): Level 1 (10G)]
Through this Battle Power, Ling Yi gained a general understanding of the power levels in this world.
Is Bai Suzhen strong? Yes, she is very strong, but she is only at the Pinnacle of the mortal realm and has not yet reached the level of an immortal.
But none of that is the point. The point is, the final, Art of Creation.
It's important to understand that the word "Creation" isn't something that can be used casually.
In the ancient the Myth system, there is only one the Myth figure who possesses the Art of Creation.
It is said that Bai Suzhen's the Final Master was the Old Mother of Mount Li, and the identity of the Old Mother of Mount Li is worth exploring.
The Human Reincarnation a corner.
What came into view was an enormous space.
Unlike other parts of the cave, this place shows more signs of human intervention.
There was a stone bed, a stone table, and stone chairs. On the stone table, there was a lot of fruit, including the fruit and apples that Ling Yi and the others had eaten before.
However, Ling Yi and his friends didn't recognize most of the fruits.
The ground is also relatively flat, paved with bluestone.
In the very center, there is a huge stone pillar, which is more than ten meters thick.
On the stone pillar, a huge white snake coiled up.
This giant snake, which was five meters thick, coiled itself around the stone pillar.
Where the snake's head should have been is now a human face.
A face that Ling Yi and the others knew all too well was none other than the face of Bai Suzhen, played by Goddess Ya.
If you only look at the face, it's not so bad, but the human-headed, snake-bodied appearance is truly terrifying.
Bai Mengyan suddenly fainted and slid to the ground next to Ni Xueqin.
Although Ni Xueqin didn't faint, she was still quite shaken, and her face turned pale.
To be honest, even Ling Yi was finding it a bit hard to handle; it was clearly starting to resemble a horror movie.
That's why they say Xu Xian is awesome, a role model for us all!
In this respect, Ning Caichen is utterly inferior to Xu Xian.
Bai Suzhen's snake body swam around, and she actually floated in mid-air and arrived in front of Ling Yi and the other two.
"How did you, mere Entry Qi Refining from the mortal realm, manage to arrive in this place?"
Bai Suzhen's voice was melodious and pleasant, her gaze sweeping over Ling Yi and the other two.
She glanced at Ling Yi a few more times and actually sensed a threat emanating from Ling Yi.
This struck her as incredible.
It seems this person possesses a magical artifact capable of subduing her.
Bai Suzhen could only deduce this, and she became wary.
"Junior Ling Yi greets Senior. These two are my junior sisters, Ni Xueqin and Bai Mengyan."
Ling Yi's expression remained unchanged as he continued spouting nonsense.
Before Bai Suzhen could ask, he continued, "This junior has heard that there are Immortal Lingzhi Herb on Mount Qingcheng, which have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. I never expected to have mistakenly entered your cave. Please forgive me!"
Ni Xueqin secretly gave Ling Yi a thumbs up. This guy is really good at making things up, even bringing up his junior sister!
