Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 628: Chapter 253: Peril in the Mountains

Fortunately, the gigantic snake, which had just opened its eyes, closed them again, seemingly falling into slumber.

However, with the appearance of the gigantic snake, the aura of the blood-red lake began to climb slowly, and countless wails and howls poured out from within.

In an instant, the entire bamboo forest appeared hellish, with blood-red mist beginning to spread, and the resentment of the Demon Beasts thrown into the blood-red lake emerged, swirling above the lake.

It was much like when Xu Binghu and the others refined their bodies, as the Beast Blood absorbed transformed into resentment, assaulting their Spirits.

But during body refining, only Heart Blood was used, and it wasn’t the same as this lake, where all kinds of Demon Beasts were indiscriminately dumped in.

Compared to the Beast Blood used in body refining, the resentment over this lake was like heaven and earth.

With the current strength of the Great Wilderness Border Village, even a single wisp of resentment could probably destroy the village.

The resentments that surfaced above the lake, seeing the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards nearby, were already full of resentment. Upon seeing their enemy beasts, they all wanted revenge, with hundreds of resentments attacking them directly, coupled with waves of wailing to shatter their spirits from a psychological level.

However, these resentments were soon drawn back into the lake by a powerful suction force.

Simultaneously, the blood-red runes carved in front of the cave emitted a faint blood-red glow, appearing particularly eerie in the darkness.

As the runes manifested, the red mist spreading in the bamboo forest began to condense slowly, eventually culminating in a downpour of blood-red rain in the forest.

The Demon Beasts surrounding the lake, seeing this blood-red rain, showed expressions of delight, kneeling and continuously bowing to the gigantic snake.

Meanwhile, Little White could clearly perceive the aura of these Demon Beasts steadily rising.

...

Little White, having witnessed the entire ritual, left the depths of the bamboo forest.

Now, it understood why poisonous snakes previously entered the Great Wilderness Border Village to slaughter the villagers, and why the white snake lingered outside the village daily, with a small yellow snake covertly monitoring the Xu Family. All this probably pointed to that colossal, slumbering Snake King’s directives.

The dangers surrounding the Xu Family all emanated from the Snake King.

What remained unclear was why the Snake King targeted the Xu Family.

Nevertheless, the threats to the Xu Family and the Great Wilderness Border Village all stemmed from the Snake King, whose terrifying aura achieved such levels, implying it was brewing an even more dreadful plan!!

However, this matter must not be known to Master Xu Ran.

Though Master Xu Ran was indeed extraordinary, he was too young and his power too feeble; knowing this would only add to his burdens. For now, the priority was to enhance his power!

By the time Little White returned to the Xu Family courtyard, dawn had arrived. All night, it had been on edge, fearing it might be discovered by the Snake King, thankfully still slumbering.

Upon returning to the courtyard, it was met with the sight of its master, Xu Ran, actually floating in the air, with invisible currents swirling around him under his control.

As a sky-dwelling bird, Little White recognized that its master was riding the wind!

Immediately, it was stunned, momentarily forgetting what it encountered deep in the bamboo forest.

To think, its master, Xu Ran, was just a one-year-and-three-month-old baby; other babies couldn’t even walk, let alone ride the wind, barely crawling on the ground and babbling.

Yet here was its master Xu Ran already riding the wind.

Indeed, my master is truly extraordinary!!

Little White constantly marveled in its heart.

Thankfully, now the villagers were out hunting, and Xu Binghu was not home, otherwise, seeing a flying baby would no doubt have shocked them!

Or, in a short time, another crowd would flood into the Xu Family courtyard to marvel!

The Xu Family could not afford such a spectacle right now.

While wind-riding, Xu Ran sensed Little White’s presence, looked up, and asked, ”Little White, where did you go last night? You didn’t even eat dinner?”

Little White loved grilled meat the most, having forsaken raw meat ever since tasting grilled, behaving unlike a typical bird of prey.

If Little White hadn’t even stayed to eat grilled meat before rushing out, surely something must have happened!

With his master’s reminder, Little White recalled the incident deep in the bamboo forest and was about to reveal it when it stopped.

The main reason being that Master Xu Ran’s current Cultivation level was insufficient, and since the Snake King remained dormant, there was still enough time to grow, telling him now might backfire!

Suddenly, Little White thought of a solution.

It slowly approached Xu Ran, lowered its body, and presented its entire back before him.

Xu Ran pointed to Little White’s back and asked, ”Little White, is your back itchy? Want me to scratch it for you?”

This was the first time Xu Ran had encountered such a situation.

Hearing its master’s words, Little White shook its head.

Xu Ran, puzzled, continued to ask, ”Then what do you mean?”

Little White kept presenting its back to Xu Ran, crouching on its feet, but Xu Ran still did not understand the meaning.

Having no choice, Little White used its beak to lightly lift Xu Ran’s collar, gradually dragging him towards its wing position, demonstrating with its beak to jump on.

Now, Xu Ran understood what Little White meant.

”You want me to sit on your back?”

Little White nodded.

Currently, Little White’s back was only about fifty centimeters wide, but Xu Ran’s small frame fit perfectly atop it.
