Although Little White accidentally sat on Ling Lan, she wasn"t really angry about it. However, in order to let Little White understand that there was a price to every mistake it made, she didn"t mind punishing it with this mild punishment.
Little White"s glowing body lit up the pa.s.sageway quite well. After walking for a few hundred meters, they finally could see the end of it.
The three of them hastened their pace. But, they soon realized that it was a forked path. There were three routes in front of them.
“Where shall we go?” Luo Lang asked.
Ling Lan"s gaze turned sharp. She pointed toward the leftmost route and said, “This way.”
Her Profound Insight told her that the leftmost route was where she would find her answer.
Luo Lang never suspected Boss"s keen judgment. So, he walked towards the leftmost route without any hesitation.
The three of them continued walking for quite some time. Suddenly, Luo Lang stopped in his tracks.
As soon as Luo Lang stopped, s.p.a.ce in front of him suddenly distorted and crackled.
“It"s dangerous.” Luo Lang turned serious as he scanned the distorted s.p.a.ce.
He only stopped because someone in his mindscape reminded him of the danger in front of him. He was unfamiliar with this new arrival. It was definitely not the Little Leng he knew and trusted.
Seeing the distorted s.p.a.ce, Li Lanfeng closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand to sense the air around him. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed slightly puzzled. “There"s a sinister and dark energy near here. However, it doesn"t feel like the bug element energy that Lord Gen had.”
“We"ll know once we go in,” Ling Lan replied calmly.
Luo Lang nodded with a sharp gaze as he started to walk forward again but this time, he was more vigilant.
After walking for a few meters, Luo Lang suddenly jumped up. It was because the s.p.a.ce around him had suddenly turned into a swamp. As the land was terraforming itself before his eyes, a fifteen meter long snake suddenly emerged from the swampy lake before baring its jaws towards Little White who was still swaying on the tip of Luo Lang"s Tangdao.
Just as the snake was about to clamp down its jaws, Luo Lang swung his Tangdao back forcefully, flinging Little White towards his back through the air.
While still spinning in mid-air, Little White quickly covered its mouth with its tentacles, which stopped today"s lunch from getting vomited out of its stomach. From the corner of its vision, it finally saw the giant snake who was looking at it like a rare delicacy.
‘What the f**k? Someone is now trying to eat me? Hmm, is this what irony is? Hmph, no matter, you want to eat me? I"ll eat you instead."
The enraged Little White suddenly elongated its tentacles and whipped the snake across its face furiously. The snake, which now like a disheveled wife, was forced back into the swamp because of the sudden slap.
“Ice Blockade.” Seeing the snake getting slapped back into the swamp, Ling Lan used her technique to freeze the swamp around them. Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng slowly landed back onto the ice surface. They looked grimly at the giant snake that was twisting and turning under the thin sheet of ice.
“I remember that Lord Gen summoned this kind of poisonous animal on the 7th Bugle Call before.” The appearance of this giant snake was similar to the giant snake that appeared on the 7th Bugle Call. The only difference was that the snakes on the 7th Bugle Call were smaller. It wasn"t like this giant snake which almost filled up the entire swamp with its body.
“There is not only the snake. There is more.” Ling Lan frowned slightly as she looked past the rampaging giant snake.
Following Ling Lan"s gaze, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang saw a half-revealed yellowish-brown toad behind the giant snake. It"s golden slitted eyes were staring ferociously at them. The toad was similar to the colour of the swamp, in addition to the fact that it didn"t move, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang almost missed it.
“There"s even more.” When Ling Lan noticed that their attention was on the toad, Ling Lan reminded them again.
Hearing Ling Lan"s words, Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng moved their attention away and looked further past the unnerving toad. Near the outer edges of the swamp, they saw two more creatures.
They didn"t expect four different poisonous creatures to exist in this swamp simultaneously. These four creatures, which normally couldn"t exist together, lived harmoniously in this swamp.
Besides the giant snake and the toad, there was a ten meter long centipede crawling at the shallow edges of the swamp. Near the end of the swamp, there was a humongous spider spinning its web, biding its time for its next prey to arrive.
“If you include the scorpion that Lord Gen summoned, the five poisonous creatures are all present.” Ling Lan was deep in thought.
“This might be why there"s an endless supply of bug domain concept in the rainbow palace.” Li Lanfeng stared at the four poisonous creatures. “Based on the aura these poisonous creatures are exuding, they must be t.i.tled domain realm or above.”
“That explains everything but I feel that there is more than meets the eye.” Ling Lan looked at Little White who was having a staredown against the giant snake in the air. She said calmly, ” I"ll leave them to you.”
“Rawr~” (I understand, master.)
Poof! Little White"s huge round body dove straight towards them. The three of them were speechless when they saw it. They immediately retreated a few kilometers back so that they wouldn"t be squashed by it.
Little White turned back into his real form without informing them again.
Little White thought that it would spurt the muddy swamp water everywhere after it fell down but instead, it landed on a hard surface. Confused, it looked down and saw the thin layer of ice on the surface of the swamp. The layer of ice looked very thin but it was extremely strong. Even when a giant cannonball like it landed on top of it at high speed, there were no cracks.
Little White squealed in delight when it saw the ice. It thought, ‘Master must be really worried about me for her to use her ice domain concept to protect me. Master is the best master in the world. Little White loves master the most."
The giant snake got excited when it saw its prey falling down from the sky. It opened its mouth and charged towards the surface.
Before it could get near, it saw the soft furs on Little White suddenly exploding and piercing through the ice. Instantly, the furs became huge tentacles that were more than ten meters in length. It attacked him from all directions.
Gasp! ‘Oh my G.o.d, what kind of monster is this?"
The frightened giant snake dove back deeper into the swamp and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Little White threw its tentacles in the swamp. Muddy water and cracked ice flew everywhere but its efforts were futile. It couldn"t find the giant snake that was hidden in the depth of the swamp.
The frustrated Little White wanted to find the other poisonous creatures but it realized that all of them were gone. Only an empty spider web was left.
“Rawr!” ‘You bunch of cowards! I finally managed to get the chance to perform in front of my master but all of you are hiding from me. I"m so angry."
Little White just wanted to perform well and please its master. Why was it so difficult?
“Do you really want to perform?” Ling Lan"s voice suddenly entered Little White"s ears.
“Rawr…” Yes, Little White wants to be a useful Little White. Master, please don"t abandon me.
Little White"s eyes were full of tears. It felt that if it didn"t perform well this time, its master would really ignore it. Little White didn"t forget that every time its master went on a mission, she would forget about it and throw it to her little brothers and little sisters. This was the same as abandoning him. In the end, it still has to rely on itself to find its master. Why is it so difficult to be a pet?
