I thought of the little white snake, but I wasn't sure if the fox girl was looking for them or not, so I asked her about it.
The fox girl didn't seem to know either. After thinking for a while, she said, "Although this place is big, it's impossible to say that there are two Liu clans. It should be her clan."
Her words made sense, so I nodded. "If that's the case, I should be able to help you find out some information."
The fox girl had risked her life to save me, so I had no reason not to help her now. After I said that, I immediately summoned the snake spirit.
The snake spirit was still as lazy as usual. After it came out, it stretched its body and smiled. "What's the matter?"
I pointed around and asked, "Do you know if there are any Liu clans around Shennongjia? If there are, where are they?"
The snake spirit rolled its eyes at me and pouted. "Why are you asking me that?
I'm not familiar with this place, and I'm not a member of the Liu clan.
I'm a dragon, and they're snakes. How can it be the same? "
The snake spirit isn't a member of the Liu clan?
I frowned. He had met the little white snake, Hui Hui, and his original body was a snake. I subconsciously thought that he was a member of the Liu clan, but I was wrong.
I wanted to ask about Hui Hui again, but the snake spirit waved its hand and continued, "I've been in Shennongjia before, but I've never had any contact with the Liu clan. Hui Hui and I met each other halfway, and we became husband and wife …"
Perhaps it was because of the mention of Huihui, the snake spirit suddenly stopped. She thought about it and continued, "I seem to have heard from Huihui that she is a member of the Liu Clan. Because the elders in her family forced her to marry an ugly guy, she ran away and met me … Why don't we look for Huihui?"
I didn't need to answer. The fox girl had finally heard the news of the Liu clan, so she nodded in agreement.
The snake spirit didn't seem to see the fox girl. When it heard her voice, it turned to look at her with a serious face. "Who are you?"
Fundamentally speaking, the snake spirit was a scale insect, while the fox girl was a monster. They belonged to the same species. In addition, the fox girl had the cultivation of Yang Spirit, so it was normal for the snake spirit to be surprised.
I told her about the Fox Lady's identity. Of course, the Spirit Snake knew about the Green Hill Tribe. After hearing that she was the Fox Lady, her expression returned to normal. She nodded and said, "Let's go and find Huihui. She should still be living in that canyon."
The canyon that the serpent spirit mentioned was the Crimson Cloud Gorge that I had discovered when I first came here. I had gone to see Huihui with the serpent spirit that time, so I was naturally familiar with the way. I didn't need the serpent spirit to lead the way, so I directly walked toward the gorge.
Along the way, the Snake Spirit's face was very calm. He didn't look excited to see his wife at all. It was normal. Aside from the first time I had come here, this fellow had said that he missed Huihui very much. After that, I had come here many times, and the Snake Spirit had only gone to see Huihui once. This fellow was quite fickle. I guessed he didn't care much about his wife.
After one hour, we arrived at the Crimson Cloud Gorge.
This place was completely different from the first time we had come here. It used to be a barren land, but now it was overgrown with weeds and there was no trace of Yin Qi.
The first time I had seen Huihui, she had said that the reason she had hidden in this gorge wasn't just to avoid being chased by others. More importantly, there was an army of hundreds of thousands of ghosts in this gorge.
She had relied on sucking those ghosts to improve her cultivation base.
When I had seen her later, she had almost turned into a flood dragon.
However, since then, I had sucked the army of hundreds of thousands of ghosts into the jade bracelet. I didn't know if Huihui was still here after that incident.
With that thought in mind, I released my spiritual consciousness to sense around, but I couldn't sense Huihui's aura.
When I had seen her, my cultivation base was too low, so I couldn't remember her aura. I couldn't sense her now, but it didn't mean that she wasn't here.
While I was thinking about this, the serpent spirit suddenly stopped, and his face changed slightly.
I didn't know what he had found, so I hurried to ask.
The serpent spirit shook his head and said, "I've sensed that Huihui's aura isn't in the previous cave … She seems to have left this place."
I had already guessed this result, but when I heard the serpent spirit confirm it, my heart didn't waver.
The fox girl was originally full of joy, but when she suddenly heard the news, her face instantly became gloomy and disappointed.
After all, she had saved her life. Seeing her like this, I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I asked the serpent spirit if there was any other way to find Huihui.
The serpent spirit thought for a while and said, "I don't have a good way. I haven't had much contact with her all these years … But let's go to the cave where she used to live and have a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
It seemed that this was the only way. I nodded and called the fox girl. Then, we followed the serpent spirit to the cave.
On the way, we passed by a cliff. The serpent spirit stopped and told me that it had met Huihui here, who was covered in cuts and bruises.
The serpent spirit didn't intend to pay attention to her, but they were of the same kind after all. He couldn't bear Huihui's pleas for help, so he took pity on her and saved her.
After that, they stayed together for a few years. The Snake Spirit could not bear the loneliness and left this place to travel outside. In the end, not long after, his life was taken by someone. He hid in a Dao Artifact Compass and barely managed to keep his remnant soul from being destroyed.
This was the first time I had heard the serpent spirit talk about his past. I was quite curious and was about to ask again, but he didn't say anything. He lifted his feet and walked forward. Soon, we arrived outside the cave where Huihui had lived.
I didn't need to go in to know that Huihui wasn't inside.
At this time, the cave was overgrown with weeds. There had obviously been no signs of activity for a long time.
I followed the serpent spirit into the cave. It was empty inside. After walking around, the serpent spirit shook his head and told me that there was no longer Huihui's aura here, and he didn't find any valuable clues.
At this point, we had basically reached a dead end. The fox girl sighed and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do if we can't find her. I can only go back and apologize to the High Priest."
I also sighed. I wanted to help the fox girl, but I didn't. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After staying in the cave for a while, the three of us raised our feet and left. However, we hadn't gone far when we sensed several waves of monster energy behind us.
At this time, the three of us all had Yang Spirit cultivation, and our spiritual senses were quite similar. We stopped almost at the same time.
I didn't need to turn around to know that there were three people chasing behind us. Their cultivation bases were all at the Seal Realm.
Although their realms weren't high, their speed wasn't slow. When we turned around, they were already in front of us.
The three people were all wrapped in gray robes. When they saw us turn around, they didn't say anything. They just looked at us with a pair of gray eyes, their pupils dilating.
I didn't need to guess to know that they weren't humans. They were snake monsters. It was highly possible that they were from the Shennongjia's Liu Tribe, which the fox girl had been searching for.
I didn't expect that the people of the Liu tribe would take the initiative to come to our side. Thus, I politely asked for their identity to confirm it.
The three people didn't answer my question, and their faces darkened. One of them grinned and said, "Little doll of the human race, you dare to trespass this place?!"
From what he said, it was clear that he hadn't seen through our cultivation base and thought that we were intruders.
It was normal for the monster race to be hostile to humans. That was why I didn't mind and explained to them with a smile.
I told them that we were representing the Green Hill Fox Tribe and had come to visit the Shennongjia's Liu Tribe. We had something important to discuss with them.
After hearing me mention the Green Hill Fox Tribe, the three people's faces relaxed a little. However, their hostility didn't disappear.
At this moment, the fox girl walked forward and revealed her true body. They nodded, half believing and half doubting her words. However, they still didn't take us to the Liu tribe's residence. They told us to wait here and said that they would go back and report to the Elders. Then, they would make a decision.
In the current situation, the fox girl would be able to complete her task as long as the Elder of the Liu Tribe came.
The snake spirit and I didn't need to participate in this.
With that thought, I bid farewell to the fox girl.
The fox girl naturally thanked me again and again. She told me that she would definitely bring my greetings to Yao Yao.
After bidding farewell, I left with the snake spirit.
It wasn't far from the half-year deadline. I'd better go to the Fire God Temple first to see if there were any unexpected situations.
After all, the old man had already found this place. It was hard to guarantee that the Elder wouldn't send someone else.
Not long after we left, I felt a strong aura coming from behind me. It was most likely the Elder of the Liu Tribe.
I didn't mind it and continued to walk forward.
However, at that moment, the snake spirit suddenly stopped and his face darkened.
I didn't know why, but I hurriedly asked. The snake spirit told me that he had sensed Huihui's aura.
I couldn't help but be surprised. Was the Elder of the Liu Tribe Huihui?
Before I could ask, the snake spirit suddenly turned around and ran in the previous direction.
This action made me feel a little strange. Just now, in the Xiapei Gorge, the snake spirit's behavior showed that he didn't care about Huihui. Why was he so anxious now?
Although I felt strange, I was also worried about the snake spirit. I didn't have time to think and quickly followed him.
When we returned to the previous place, the fox girl was standing in front of a man in black, talking about something.
This man in black should be the Elder of the Liu Tribe, but his whole body was wrapped in black, so I couldn't see his appearance. However, from his figure, it was obvious that he was a man. He didn't look like Huihui.
Before I could react, the snake spirit had already rushed forward and grabbed the collar of the man in black, shouting, "What did you do to Huihui?"
In the face of this sudden change, the man in black didn't show the slightest fear. He coldly snorted at the snake spirit. "Where did this little baby come from?
You don't know life from death! "
As he spoke, black smoke appeared in his hands out of thin air, and he fiercely slapped the snake spirit.
