"You can put the elixir into a sachet and wear it with you. When walking, you can use magic to stimulate the efficacy of the elixir. No matter what kind of poisonous insect it is, you will not dare to get close."
Bai Qi gave a demonstration to the two of them. Zhehua and Xia Yu smelled a very strong aroma, which was a little bit heady.
The two thanked each other, took the elixir, put it into the sachet as Bai Qi said, and then wore it around their waists.
From that day on, they were never bitten by poisonous insects again.
This day.
The three of them were walking along the edge of the swamp when Bai Qi suddenly raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop.
After a while, five or six figures appeared in front.
Not only did these people look sad, but they all had injuries on their bodies, and two people even had large areas of skin ulcerated.
Behind them, there was a white fox, driving these people away leisurely.
"A clever little demon who hasn't even refined his crossbones."
Zhehua glanced at it and said disdainfully.
Xia Yu frowned. Those people were all ordinary people, and they were obviously enslaved by the little fox.
The little fox then also saw Bai Qi and the others. Bai Qi could restrain the evil spirit very well. Xia Yu was simply a human monk. Only Zhehua's evil spirit was looming.
This was naturally released intentionally by Zhehua. Although there was only a trace of evil spirit emerging, the pressure of the superior made the little fox feel great danger.
The other party immediately knelt down and started babbling.
The other party cannot speak human language, but as a great demon in disguise, Zhehua can understand what the other party means.
"Greetings to Your Majesty! Xiaoyao Linlao kowtows to you."
The fox demon is called Lin Lao. Suddenly he met the big demon and was so frightened that he just kowtowed.
Bai Qi glanced at the little fox, said nothing, and winked at the little fox, letting Zhehua watch and deal with it.
"Let me ask you, which force do you belong to?"
After folding flowers again, you can communicate with the other party using your spiritual thoughts.
A little demon is not worth her effort, but since she has encountered one, let’s ask a few questions.
The little fox Lin Lao quickly reported back, saying that he belonged to Tiemuling and was a subordinate of the great demon Hu Sanniang.
In fact, Hu Sanniang is not a real great demon, and she is still far away from condensing the demon elixir.
Then, the little fox pointed at those people and said that they were herb collectors. After being caught by Hu Sanniang, they specifically searched for precious spiritual herbs on the edge of the swamp for Tiemuling.
As for whether Hu Sanniang had any backers, Lin Lao couldn't tell.
After asking these questions clearly, Zhehua looked at Bai Qi. According to her, there was no need to worry about a little demon and a group of ordinary people, and the three of them could just continue on their way.
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, and Xia Yu looked at the ragged herb collectors with a bit of unbearable color in her eyes.
But she didn't say anything in the end, and she said nothing nice. She and others were still on the way to escape, so how could she have the right to care about other people's affairs?
If she caused disaster because of her meddling, she wouldn't know how to face her two companions.
At this moment, a young man among the herb collectors suddenly gritted his teeth, rushed over, and knelt at Zhehua's feet with a "pop" sound.
"Your Majesty, please save us. We are old and young. Once we are buried in the dark cloud swamp, our whole family will be finished."
The man kept kowtowing, his forehead was bruised and a lot of blood flowed out.
The little fox Lin Lao hesitated to speak. Its role is equivalent to that of a sheepherder, and those people are the sheep. Once the sheep is lost, it will definitely be severely punished when it returns.
But it didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of offending the Venerable and dying on the spot.
Zhehua looked very confused. She looked at the person at her feet and then at Bai Qi, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, little fox. You can take us to Tiemuling for a visit. I also want to visit Hu Sanniang. When I meet Hu Sanniang, I will naturally intercede for you, okay?"
Bai Qi originally didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. There are countless tragedies in the world. Can he handle it?
What's more, the problem is that the three of them are currently wanted by two major forces and cannot protect themselves. How can they have time to care about other people's affairs?
But that young man was very courageous and risked his life to ask for flowers. He couldn't turn a blind eye.
It just so happens that this area is not far from Langyi's stronghold, so let's go and meet Hu Sanniang.
At that time, there are only two ways in front of Hu Sanniang, either surrender or die. There will never be a third way.
So, Bai Qi asked the little fox to lead the way.
How could the little fox Lin Lao have the right to object? He nodded hurriedly. Bai Qi and others followed it to Tiemuling without even looking at the herb collectors.
When they were far away, the young man reacted first and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Run!"
The other herb collectors just woke up from a dream, got up and staggered towards the distance.
The young man finally returned home safely. Then he asked someone to carve statues of Bai Qi, Zhe Hua and Xia Yu according to his memory, and burned incense and prayed every day.
Xia Yu had not worn a veil for a long time along the way, and also enjoyed the offering of incense.
Bai Qi and others followed Lin Lao to Tiemuling. This kind of place name is too common, which means that this place is not a very good place.
Tiemuling is just a small hill. Hu Sanniang occupied this place, recruited some subordinates, and closed the door to call him his ancestor.
In fact, it is the same as claiming the mountain to be the king. He is just a petty thief and cannot stand on the stage.
"Xiaoyu, you and Zhehua are waiting for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Bai Qi asked Xia Yu and Zhehua to wait at the foot of the mountain. He picked up the little fox Lin Lao, jumped up, and came to the mountain in an instant like a stream of light.
There is a natural cave on the mountain. After Hu Sanniang's transformation, it looks like a cave.
On this day, Hu Sanniang had just finished communicating with a few young and strong men who had been captured, and while she was reminiscing, she felt a burst of panic.
"Lin Lao? Why are you back? Didn't you ask me to take the herb collectors to find purple sorrel? Wait, who is behind you?"
Hu Sanniang is a plump white fox. Although she has not transformed and is even close to condensing the demon elixir, her illusion formation is very magical.
For example, in the eyes of those young and strong people, she is a charming and beautiful lady, and they are fascinated by her.
Even Lin Lao has never seen her true face.
But a mere phantom formation couldn't trouble Bai Qi at all, and he even used the phantom formation in the cave to cover his own figure.
It was not until this moment that Hu Sanniang realized something was wrong.
"Hu Sanniang, you are such a coquettish fox! Stop talking nonsense, you either surrender to me, or I send you to meet your ancestors."
Bai Qi stepped out and came directly to Hu Sanniang.
At the same time, the coercion of the transformed demon came, making the other party realize what real fear is.
"Hu Sanniang pays homage to the Venerable!" Hu Sanniang knelt down directly, but she was still a little unwilling to do so, so she said: "I have a close relationship with Venerable Yin Hong from Xiongshiling. Please, for Venerable Yin Hong's sake, forgive me.
This time for me."
"Venerable Yin Hong? That's just right. Do you want me to contact him now? If he says he doesn't know you, Hu Sanniang, you should know the consequences, right?"
Bai Qi actually doesn't know Venerable Yin Hong, but he knows that Hu Sanniang was lying just now.
This also proves from the side that the other party has no big backer at all, and can only use Yin Hong as a shield. In the final analysis, he is still ill and seeks medical treatment.
"Hu Sanniang deserves death! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
How could Hu Sanniang dare to bet that what Bai Qi said was true or false? After hearing what Bai Qi said, she immediately panicked and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Bai Qi sacrificed the bronze mirror and said: "It's not impossible to spare your life, just relax your mind and surrender to me."
After saying that, wisps of incense and wish power poured out from the mirror and began to refine Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang is indeed not of much use, but Bai Qi has just arrived and cannot rely on just one wolf wing. If there was no such thing before, he would not take the initiative, but now that he knows the existence of Tiemuling from Lin Lao, he can take the initiative
Take it in.
Knowing that the situation was over, Hu Sanniang stopped resisting.
Bai Qi successfully left a mark on the other party's mind. Hu Sanniang kowtowed again and said: "Master, Hu Sanniang is willing to do my best for you! I will never betray you."
"Okay, get up. I've taken away this little fox Lin Lao. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me through this magic weapon. From now on, it's fundamental to less harm to ordinary people and practice more diligently."
When Bai Qi conquered Hu Sanniang, it was like adding another nail in the mountain.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, various forces are intricate and complex. He still has a long way to go if he wants to gain a firm foothold.
However, there was so much excitement in the cave that after subduing Hu Sanniang, he wrapped Lin Lao in his magic power and left quickly.
"King, you destroyed Tiemuling so quickly?"
When Zhehua saw Bai Qi returning, she walked up to him with a smile and asked.
Bai Qi shook his head and told the story of how he conquered Hu Sanniang. From now on, Tiemuling would be his eyes and ears. Apart from that, he didn't have too high requirements.
"I'm afraid the little fox won't be able to stay in Tiemuling. Hu Sanniang will definitely be angry with it. Lin Lao, you lead the way for us. If you behave well, I will help you arrange a way out."
Bai Qi unexpectedly discovered that Lin Lao had very good qualifications and that he was very good at getting things done, so he felt kindhearted and prepared to take him with him.
When Lin Lao heard this, he was extremely grateful.
It's not stupid. If it continues to stay in Tiemuling, even if Hu Sanniang doesn't kill it, it won't have a good life.
The little fox Lin Lao was very familiar with the terrain in this area. According to Bai Qi's request, he took all the remote trails.
Bai Qi is very cautious. The closer he gets to Wolf Wing's territory, the more he has to keep a low profile. It is best not to even use magical powers.
So the little fox took the three of them to Wolf Wing's lair smoothly.
"This..."
Langyi's lair is on a hill, which is very similar to the hill occupied by Hu Sanniang. If I have to use one word to describe it, it would be "shabby".
Sparse vegetation, poor aura of heaven and earth, and the surrounding environment is not very good.
Considering that Langyi had built a solid foundation on his own, Bai Qi still gave the other party a higher evaluation.
