"What the hell kind of animal is that? It can run so fast?"
Running three steps at a time on the trail, Pei Wende was surprised to find that he was getting further and further away from the target he was chasing.
Judging from this point alone, the three bright yellow figures being chased by the little green snake cannot be ordinary beasts.
Fortunately, Pei Wende had the help of the lone wolf. Although he had been lagging behind the little green snake and the bright yellow figure in front, he did not really lose track of them.
On the contrary, as the field trails gradually disappeared, Pei Wende, who officially entered the mountain forest, was gradually regaining the distance he had lost before.
This seems to indicate from the side that the three bright yellow figures are not familiar with this mountain forest.
At the very least, those three bright yellow figures were not native animals in this forest, and their familiarity with this forest was not as good as that of a human like Pei Wende.
"Ouch!"
Just when Pei Wende thought he could catch up with the three bright yellow figures in just a moment, the lone wolf that had been following him howled again.
Boom!
The next moment, a huge roar suddenly came out.
In the flash of lightning, the surrounding trees, flowers and plants changed rapidly as if they were shifting places, and the surrounding environment also changed from the foot of the mountain to the depths of the jungle.
"What is this place?"
Pei Wende stopped running in surprise. Looking at the changing environment in front of him, Pei Wende didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
The most critical thing is when this environmental change stops.
A young man with a stern face and a long skirt suddenly stood opposite him and cast an interesting look at him.
"You actually 'awakened' once not long ago?"
"You survived being tortured by the 'Earth Dragon' once. It seems like you are quite lucky!"

At the foot of Weishan Mountain, at the edge of the mountain forest.
The little green snake that was chasing the three bright yellow figures suddenly froze for a moment. When it turned back to look behind it, it found that Pei Wende and Lone Wolf had disappeared.
"hiss!"
It happened that at this moment, the three bright yellow figures running at the front seemed to have hit some invisible wall, and were knocked to a stop instantly.
Gulu gulu...
Accompanied by the screams of the three little figures, the silent little green snake finally saw clearly the true appearance of the three figures.
They were three tanukis the size of children.
The faces of each have unusually eye-catching black and white stripes, allowing people to identify each of the three different civet cats at a glance.
The most important thing is that the screams made by these civet cats after being hit and stopped are not the sounds of animals, but the same language as humans.
"Ah! It hurts!"
"What the hell is this?!"
"Oops, we seem to be exposed!"
"..."
Accompanied by the screams of the three civet cats, the little green snake, who was speechless for a moment, thought briefly and decided to find another way to talk to these three cute guys.
"hiss!"
As a result, the little green snake suddenly coiled up its body and quickly grew in size, transforming into a young man in a green robe.
"You, you, you... you are a monster?!"
"We are doomed now, we will be eaten by monsters!"
"Oooh, daddy, save me!"
"..."
After witnessing the scene of the green snake transforming into a human form, the three civet cats who were already in a hurry became even more panicked.
"Shut up!"
The young man in green, who was transformed into a little green snake, gave a cold look. The three cute civet cats immediately did not dare to speak anymore and just looked at them pitifully.
"Starting now, I'll ask you questions and answer them!"
"Say one more word and I'll eat you all!"
The three civet cats, who nodded like mincing words, clapped their chests in assurance, and did not dare to make a single sound in the process.
"Start with you first."
Pointing to the largest colorful civet cat, the young man in green asked his first question.
"What are you...monsters?"
"What's the relationship with that old man just now?"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the same time, when the young man in green was interrogating the three civet cats.
"Stubborn old man, what do those three monsters just have to do with you?"
After the initial confusion, Butcher Zhang looked at the stubborn old man who seemed to have calmed down a little, and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked in a low voice.
"Alas! I hope it's just like you said, that boy Pei Dadan won't hurt them!"
There is no longer that kind of indifference that repels people thousands of miles away, and the stubborn old man's face is now full of worry.
"Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will definitely fight for you!"
He said such cruel words, but after learning from Butcher Zhang the reason why they came here, the stubborn old man actually let go of some of his wariness and fear.
After all, Pei Wende's reputation in the village was good, and with Butcher Zhang's repeated assurances, the stubborn old man felt that the lives of his three boys should not be in danger.
"Stubborn old man, don't worry!"
"If those three monsters are really as harmless as you said, Pei Dadan will definitely not hurt them."
At this point, Butcher Zhang felt that he knew Pei Wende relatively well.
Because Pei Wende's understanding of "good and evil" is not limited to the human level, but has truly reached a certain state of "equality of all living beings".
From Zhang Tufu's point of view, perhaps even Zen Master Lingyou is not as enlightened as him on this point.
This can also be seen from Pei Wende's attitude towards the little green snake and the lone wolf.
If he were an ordinary person, facing such a beast that was almost a spirit, even if he didn't have the kind of fearful attitude of avoiding it, he would definitely not deal with it as normally as he did.
"I hope so!"
Sighing deeply, the stubborn old man did not continue to embarrass Butcher Zhang, but slowly talked about his "fate" with the three civet cats.
"Achu, you should still remember your aunt, right?"
Hearing the stubborn old man ask this question, Butcher Zhang immediately replied seriously.
"Of course I remember. If it hadn't been for the help from my aunt and you, I would have starved to death in the village."
"Even Xiaohui was introduced to me by my aunt, and that's how we are today."
Xiaohui is the nickname given by Butcher Zhang to his wife. From poverty to today, he relied entirely on the support of his wife, who was nominally his "brother-in-law."
"Yes! Almost ten years have passed in a flash."
The stubborn old man, who didn't care about Butcher Zhang's attitude and just wanted to use it as an "introduction", stared deeply ahead, as if he was completely immersed in the beautiful memories of the past.
"If your aunt was still here, then maybe the three boys wouldn't have to live so hard with me!"
