7 Spiritual Beas (2/2)
At the moment when Fang Yuan stood up, a white flash caught his eye.
”It’s coming!”
Fang Yuan became more energetic and in a moment did not feel sleepy anymore.
The white flash rushed towards the garden and saw the trap left by Fang Yuan. It appeared undisturbed as it gingerly made its way around the trap used its paws to grab the tree branch and pulled it out. This action triggered the trap but it couldn’t catch anything as the beast was already out of its way.
”Wow! What a big and clever White Ferret!”
Fang Yuan heaved a huge sigh.
There was no mistake that right in front of him was a large White Ferret. It had large eyes long fur and a pair of extremely agile paws. Its ears would twitch from time to time as though it was listening to the surroundings and its white fur was extremely reflective under the moonlight.
A normal ferret would be about the size of a cat but this one grew a metre long like a small leopard.
”Oh boy! What a large White Ferret…”
Seeing how the ferret moved about freely within the tea garden Fang Yuan took another look at his inadequate equipment and thought, ”Why not… I let it do whatever it wants today and the next time it comes I shall get more backup!”
He was not a professional hunter to begin with and even though he prepared a comprehensive list of equipment to catch it but looking at the ‘demonic’ White Ferret he did not dare to catch it.
”Keke!”
The moment the White Ferret entered the Tea Forest his jet-black eyes focused at Fang Yuan’s hiding spot as though it had noticed him!
”How dare you! You beast!”
Fang Yuan had no choice but to reveal himself, ”You destroyed my tea tree for the first time and now you’re back for the second time do you really treat me as non-existent?
Simultaneously while jumping out Fang Yuan lit a fire torch.
Under the illumination of the torch, Fang Yuan could see the expression of the White Ferret as though Fang Yuan was a joke. It did not run but instead made eye contact with Fang Yuan.
‘Oh no, shouldn’t these wild animals be afraid of fire and humans? Why doesn’t it seem so now?’
Deep down Fang Yuan was regretting his actions.
Seeing that the White Ferret did not treat him seriously and continued to munch on the branches of the Questioning Heart Tea Tree. Fang Yuan flared up, ”How dare you!”
He grabbed his fire torch in one hand and his machete in another rushing towards the White Ferret, ”Don’t touch what is mine!”
”Sssss!”
In the next moment, he saw the White Ferret turned around its fur standing and it was making a hissing noise. Fang Yuan knew that this was bad but proceeded to lunge forward with his machete.
‘Sou!’
The white shadow flashed by as Fang Yuan felt a strong force on his wrists forcing him to take a few steps back. His wrists weakened and he dropped both the machete and the fire torch, ”This beast is too quick too strong!”
”Keke!”
Seeing how Fang Yuan was unable to withstand his first attack the White Ferret looked away and stroked his tummy as though he was mimicking a human laughing.
He was a spiritual being. He waved his little paws at Fang Yuan and pointed to the Questioning Heart Tree as though he was saying, ‘This spiritual plant from today onwards will be mine!’
”No…...I cannot take this!”
Being mocked at by the beast Fang Yuan felt unjust. He did a flip from the ground and exclaimed, ”Look out for my hidden weapon!”
With a flick of his wrist, a few small paper packets flew out from his hand.
‘Peng peng!’
Smoke and fog exploded in mid-air bringing with it a pungent smell.
Fang Yuan appeared calm but without thought turned around and ran!
Even though a fight might be lost one should naturally look for a way to escape and in the future come back to deal with the white ferret. There was no rush for a gentleman to take his revenge.
”Sssss…”
Within the smoke came a shrill from the white ferret. Fang Yuan stopped in his footsteps.
He turned around and saw the white ferret pacing around the white smoke as though it was very afraid of it.
”Eh?”
Fang Yuan felt relieved.
He only meant for the smoke to help him escape because within the paper packets were normal non-spiritual items.
”I placed plenty of beast-repelling powder and if it is of use how can the beast enter? It seems like it also isn’t about the pepper… It must be… the Realgar Powder! Haha… Just wait and see!”
Fang Yuan ran back to the valley and in no time brought along many bags of powder, ”So you’re scared of Realgar? Hahahaha… let’s see!”
‘Peng peng!’
With the flick of his right wrist, large amounts of Realgar Powder scattered into smoke covering the entire place.
Although the white ferret seemed determined it appeared that he was really afraid of Realgar and did not dare to move.
When the Realgar smoke settled it was gone.
