”He'll temporarily stay in the inn, and when he finds Xue'er, he'll think about his future plans.” He'll temporarily stay in the inn, and when he finds Xue'er, he'll think about his future plans. Ling Zhu could already imagine Xue'er's pained expression, and did not want to add any more sorrow.
Just like that, the three of them started to act separately. Li Yun and Blue Cloud began searching for the location of the witch while Lingzhu went alone to find the duck.
The distance from the inn to the Heaven Realm was not that far. It was only a small area. Furthermore, when he was fighting with the inner demon, the witch did not see any ducks around her.
Lingzhu also thought that it was impossible for her to have the duck tied to her side. Just dealing with Feng Qingyang and the matters of the Devil Realm was enough for her to not have the time to be distracted.
Thus, the Spiritual Bead started to slowly search along the only path from the inn to the Ethereal Mountain, hoping that this dumb duck was lucky and would still be able to survive until he went to save it.
At the same time, Li Yun and Qingtian had finally arrived at the top of the Ethereal Mountain and found the place where the spiritual pearl had mentioned earlier. The entire hillside had been badly burnt, leaving behind only patches of bare tree trunks.
Lan Yan raised his head and surveyed his surroundings. He sighed in surprise, ”Brother Li, your master is indeed powerful. Although I've heard of him from the Spirit Bead, only then would I dare to believe that I've truly witnessed his destructive power.”
Li Yun reached out to touch the charred tree trunk and nodded. ”That's right, this is indeed Master's' Red Lotus Flame Bomb '. If it were not for the fact that it is a top-notch expert of the fire attribute, it would not have such great destructive power.”
Since he was sure, it meant that Feng Qingyang had fought against the inner demon and the witch here yesterday. Qingtian pointed at the few traces on the ground: ”Look, these footprints from three directions, one is for Snake Dowager, and the smaller one is for the inner demon. That witch must be heading in this direction!”
Feng Qingyang seemed to be chasing after the inner demon while the witch seemed to have gone to the west. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before they started to walk towards the west.
Halfway up the mountain, the duck was hanging upside down in the air as it struggled to lie there crying until the sun rose. Last night, the witch tied her up and threw her onto a tree pole before walking away.
He thought that if he didn't kill the witch, he would have finally taken his life. However, he didn't expect this dead woman, who had been killing thousands of times, would hang him upside down on the tree trunk, allowing him to fend for himself in this desolate place.
Even so, the hardest part was that the hungry wolves had been waiting under the tree for a long time, waiting to swallow it in one gulp.
Waah! Why is my life so bitter!” ”The duck covered its mouth and began to cry. It was screaming so loudly that it was on the verge of breaking down. Other than the wild beasts on the mountain, there were no birds.
”Big sister, big sister, you can't treat me like this!” When Duck thought of Xiang Xue'er, he couldn't help but cry. He began to sing as he cried, ”Come back quickly, I can't bear it all by myself. Come back quickly and bring my life back …”
Coincidentally, the Spiritual Bead's search had found its way to this place. She frowned as she listened for a long time. ”Strange, why would there be people singing in this desolate mountain range?”
She quickly looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, she could see from afar that the stupid duck had fallen onto a tree, crying and singing some nonsense that she couldn't understand. And underneath the tree, there were a few hungry wolves crouching with their mouths open, waiting to eat the fat duck.
”Hmph, and here I thought you were killed, causing me to worry for you. I didn't think that you would be living quite comfortably. To think that you would even sing about it.” Ling Zhu crossed her arms in front of her chest and unhappily leaned against the tree trunk.
Duck suddenly stopped howling and turned his head to discover the Spirit Bead. He was overjoyed and acted as if he had seen his own mother, ”Ah, Spirit Pearl, you are rich and charming. Colour. The next day. Fragrant Spiritual Bead? Great, someone finally came to save me! ”
