I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 144 An Nan
The thick smell of blood in the air made Song Jie frown.

"Ow~"

Jinjiao roared in a low voice, as if telling Song Jie that there might be danger ahead, while also expressing his inner anxiety.

Song Jie looked in the direction that Jinjiao was facing and saw a small village there.

The strong smell of blood came from that village.

From a distance, you can see several wooden roofs of the village, and wisps of smoke rising up.

The village seemed to be populated, but it gave people a feeling of deathly silence, and a strong smell of blood wafted in the wind.

“A village full of weirdness?

"Or is this a village that has just been massacred?"

If it is the former, then there is naturally nothing to say, just turn around and leave decisively.

Song Jie had absolutely no interest in exploring strange places.

If it is the latter, then you should also turn around and leave.

Who knows if the person who massacred the village is still nearby? It would be even more dangerous if he is a cultivator more powerful than himself.

So, without much hesitation, Song Jie decided to pretend that he saw nothing, change direction, take a short detour, and then continue on his way.

Just as Song Jie was about to give an order to Jin Jiao, a child's cry was faintly heard from the village in the distance.

"Dad...Mom...where are you?
“Why is everyone gone?

"Please don't abandon Anan...

"Anan is afraid~
"Woooooooo..."

Hearing the faint cry of a little girl in the distance, Song Jie immediately stopped what he was doing.

"There are still little girls in the village?"

Song Jie muttered suspiciously.

He was not sure, was the little girl the embodiment of weirdness?
Or is she really just a normal little girl?
“Listening to the little girl’s cries, it seemed that everyone in the village had disappeared except for the little girl.

“In addition, there was nothing strange about the little girl’s voice, which means that it was most likely a village that had just been massacred.

“The people who massacred the village should have left, otherwise the little girl’s cries would have been cut off soon.”

After thinking for a moment, Song Jie felt it would be better to go over and take a look.

If that was really a normal little girl, and she was thrown into a small village with no other living people, I'm afraid she wouldn't survive for a few days.

The smell of blood wafting from the village alone could easily attract wild animals at night.

And there is no way a little girl can resist the attack of wild beasts.

After making the decision, Song Jie no longer hesitated and immediately gave Jinjiao an order.

"Jinjiao, go investigate whether there is any danger in that village...

"If you sense any danger along the way, turn around and run back immediately."

"Ow~"

After Jinjiao let out a low growl, he followed Song Jie's instructions, jumped off the carriage, and sneaked towards the small village.

As a beast of luck, Jinjiao has the innate ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune. If there is danger ahead, Jinjiao can sense it in advance and come back to inform him in time.

That's why Song Jie asked Jin Jiao to go and find out what was going on.

Previously, at the White Jade Square of Danding Sect, when the demon attacked, Song Jie did not flee the scene immediately.

On the one hand, he was protected by the bigwigs of other forces, and on the other hand, he also observed Jinjiao's reaction and found that Jinjiao did not show any unusual movements.

This means that the fight between Mingtian Demon and Danding Sect should not affect them, so Song Jie chose to stay and watch the fight.

And the facts have proved that these monks sitting on the VIP stand were safe from beginning to end.

At this time, Song Jie was looking at Jinjiao's small figure approaching the village, and his spirit was tense all the time.

Once he discovered that Jinjiao started to turn back halfway, he would immediately make preparations and run away with Jinjiao.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and the accident that Song Jie had expected did not happen.

Soon, Jinjiao ran to the entrance of the village, took a few steps forward, and jumped lightly onto the roof of a wooden house.

After looking around for a long time, Jinjiao looked at Song Jie in the distance, raised his little paws, and waved at Song Jie.

"It seems that there is no danger in the village anymore."

Song Jie nodded imperceptibly, then without hesitation, he drove the carriage towards the village.

Not long after, Song Jie arrived at the entrance of the village.

Song Jie jumped off the carriage lightly.

When Jin Jiao saw Song Jie coming, he had already jumped down from the roof and ran towards Song Jie.

"Well done. I'll make you something delicious when I get home."

Song Jie squatted down, rubbed Jinjiao's little head, and praised it.

When he heard that there would be delicious food on his way back, Jinjiao immediately grinned and wagged his tail non-stop.

Song Jie smiled slightly, then stood up and stood at the entrance of the village, looking at this small village that looked a little weird.

All I could see was the village land, the outer walls of the houses on both sides, and various farm tools scattered on the ground...everywhere was stained with bright red blood.

Standing at the entrance of the village, you can feel even more how pungent the smell of blood is.

This scene could only have been caused by slaughtering the entire village.

Who on earth could be so cruel and inhumane?

Apparently, the villagers in this village were massacred and their bodies taken away.

I don't know what the killer's purpose is.

Song Jie sighed softly.

At this time, he could still hear the little girl's intermittent sobbing.

"Daddy...

"Mother...

"Woooooooo..."

Perhaps because she was tired of crying, the little girl's voice became much softer than before.

"Can you find the location of that little girl?"

Song Jie looked at Jin Jiao who was standing aside.

He could actually follow the sound to find the little girl's location, but it was definitely not as fast as Jinjiao's nose.

After receiving Song Jie's order, Jinjiao immediately twitched his nose.

next moment.

"Ow~"

After a howl, Jinjiao ran towards the village, and Song Jie hurriedly followed.

When they reached a fork in the road, Jinjiao turned his body and turned to the path on the left.

Soon, Song Jie saw a little girl about five or six years old in a corner.

The little girl, wearing patched clothes, huddled in the corner.

When the little girl saw a man and a beast suddenly appear in front of her, her face was instantly filled with fear.

"Don't kill Anan... Don't kill Anan..."

Seeing the little girl like this, Song Jie immediately squatted down and said with some distress: "I'm not here to kill you, can you tell me what happened here?"

"Don't kill Anan... Don't kill Anan..." Faced with Song Jie's questions, the little girl just kept repeating this sentence.

Song Jie sighed softly.

He knew that the little girl was frightened and shocked, and her mental state was not normal at the moment.

I instinctively developed a resistance to strangers.

No matter how he asked questions, he couldn't get any useful information.

The most urgent task is to calm the little girl down and restore her mental state to normal.

"Jinjiao, go and see if there are any other living people in the village.

"I will take her to the carriage first, and we will wait for you there."

"Ow~"

After Jinjiao shouted, he ran to carry out Song Jie's order.

Watching Jinjiao's figure disappear around the corner, Song Jie no longer hesitated and took out a bottle of Mishen Pills from his storage bag.

He opened the lid of the Mi Shen Wan and placed the bottle mouth at the tip of the little girl's nose and shook it.

After a while, the little girl's begging voice gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Looking at the little girl who had fallen into deep sleep, Song Jie plugged the bottle of the Mishen Pills with a stopper and put it back into the storage bag.

The Mishen Pill is a first-grade elixir developed for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and it possesses extremely strong psychedelic powers.

Considering that the little girl was just an ordinary mortal and was relatively young, Song Jie did not directly activate the medicinal power of the Mishen Pills.

Just by letting the little girl smell the fragrance of the elixir, she passed out.

This action can also test whether the little girl is really just an ordinary mortal.

If he was not an ordinary mortal but the incarnation of evil, he would not fall asleep just by smelling the fragrance of the Mishen Pills.

Seeing the little girl falling into a coma with her brows relaxed, Song Jie couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, the little girl did not show any abnormality.

At the same time, I feel sympathy for what happened to this little girl.

After sighing again, Song Jie leaned over, picked up the little girl, turned around and walked out of the village.

Judging from the situation in this village, it is unlikely that there are other living people.

It was obviously impossible for the little girl to continue living here. After a brief thought, Song Jie decided to take the little girl away.

Soon, he returned to the carriage carrying the little girl.

He gently placed the little girl in the car, then took out a blanket from the storage bag, folded it in half, and covered the little girl with it to prevent her from catching a cold.

"This little girl is quite cute, poor girl..."

Looking at the little girl's delicate face like a porcelain doll, Song Jie shook his head, then left the car, went outside, and waited for Jinjiao to come back.

Fortunately, this village is not big, it is just a small village.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jinjiao finished searching the entire village and returned to Song Jie.

Song Jie asked, "How is it? Is there anyone alive?"

"Ow~"

Jinjiao shook his head, indicating that there was no living person.

"Sure enough..." Song Jie sighed and said, "Get in the car, let's continue on our journey."

Immediately, the man and the beast jumped onto the carriage one after another, drove the horses, and continued to drive towards the Xinyue Market.

Before we knew it, night had fallen again.

Song Jie found an open space suitable for spending the night and tied the horse next to a big tree.

Then he picked up some dry branches from around and built a simple fire on the open ground.

Just as he was about to light the fire, Jinjiao jumped out from the darkness in front of him, holding a gray rabbit in his mouth.

While parking the car, Song Jie arranged for Jinjiao to go hunting.

With the strength of the unicorn beast Jinjiao, it would be extremely easy to catch some small animals.

Thanks to this, they ate game every day during this period.

Occasionally, when he got tired of eating wild game, he would eat the beef jerky and other pickled foods that could be preserved for a long time that Song Jie prepared in his storage bag.

After Jinjiao threw the hare beside the fire, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Just one hare was not enough for the two of them to eat, so Jinjiao had to hunt another small animal.

Song Jie didn't say much. After lighting the fire, he released the Blue Nether Fire.

Under the control of his Danhuo technique at the Great Dao realm, the hair on the rabbit's body was burned off in a short while, but the flesh underneath the hair was not affected at all.

Then, Song Jie took out a kitchen knife, two small iron sticks, and a chopping board from his storage bag.

In just a few moments, Song Jie had cut open the rabbit and taken out its internal organs.

The edible internal organs are threaded onto a small iron rod, and the rabbit body is threaded onto another small iron rod.

Then he released the Green Nether Fire, which enveloped the two small iron sticks and directly burned the internal organs and impurities on the rabbit's body.

After doing all this, Song Jie placed the two iron sticks on the fire and began to bake them with fire.

At this time, Jinjiao came back with a pheasant in his mouth.

Song Jie touched Jinjiao's head to show encouragement.

Without saying anything else, he took the pheasant and quickly processed it in the same way, then roasted it over the fire.

Just then, Song Jie heard some noise coming from the carriage.

Listening to the uneven breathing sounds coming from the car, Song Jie knew that the little girl had woken up.

However, he did not rush over to open the curtain, as that might probably scare the little girl again.

He planned to give the little girl some time to adjust to her current situation.

Then he continued roasting the hare and pheasant.

Jinjiao sat next to Song Jie, sticking out his tongue, helping with the roasting. From time to time, he used his claws to turn the iron rod to make the hare and pheasant roast more evenly.

As time passed, the hares and pheasants on the iron rods turned golden, and a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

After a while, a "gurgling" sound was heard in the carriage.

Song Jie saw out of the corner of his eye that the curtain of the carriage was pushed aside by a small hand, and a little head cautiously poked out from inside.

Staring at the golden and tender rabbit and pheasant roasting on the fire.

Song Jie couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Are you hungry? Come out and eat something."

Hearing Song Jie's voice, the little head immediately shrank back into the car.

Song Jie smiled slightly and continued in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

However, Song Jie's goodwill did not seem to have much effect. The little girl still hid in the carriage and did not come out.

After a while, another "gurgling" sound came from the carriage.

It seemed that she was really hungry. Plus, Song Jie said that he was not a bad person, so the little girl went through a fierce ideological struggle.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and climbed out of the car.

He looked at Song Jie, then at Jin Jiao who was sitting next to Song Jie, and finally fixed his eyes on the rabbit meat and chicken on the fire.

"Gudu~"

After swallowing her saliva with difficulty, the little girl timidly asked, "Those...Anan, can I eat them?"
