The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 779: Not seen yet.
Long Ling didn't have the extra time or patience to find out where Yun Ran had been taken.

Upon reaching the Mountain of Death, they revealed their true forms, terrifying all beings, whether they were sentient or not.

They either hide in their caves and refuse to come out, or they lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

In any case, they absolutely did not want to confront this dragon spirit; it terrified them.

But now, it's not something they can simply choose not to think about.

Long Ling reached out with one claw and pulled out several foxes that were hiding underground.

The animals lying on the ground pretending to be dead were completely ignored by the Dragon Spirit.

A guy who can't even hide properly can't be considered smart. He probably can't even have a normal conversation. It would be a waste of effort to catch him.

The foxes captured by Long Ling were clearly a family.

The oldest one already has six tails, and its eyes are surprisingly intelligent.

Looking at Long Ling with a pleading expression, he said, "Please spare my children. I'm willing to become your meal."

The six-tailed fox spoke in human language, its tone filled with indescribable fear and dread.

Dragon Spirit: ...

He's not that fierce!
"Who wants to eat you? Don't talk nonsense!"

Long Ling felt that his temper had really improved a lot. In the past, if any living being had 'slandered' him like this, he would have definitely made sure that reputation was true.

Now, he just thinks, why do humans have to eat raw meat and drink blood when there are so many delicious foods available? It's disgusting.

These days, he's got a big mouth!
The six-tailed fox was dumbfounded.

However, he truly had no doubt about this statement.

Because it saw the disdain in the Dragon King's eyes, as if eating it was something very shameful.

This made the six-tailed fox lose confidence.

Many creatures had wanted to eat it before, but now that it was suddenly being rejected, it felt like its mind had gone mad.

Long Ling didn't care what the six-tailed fox was thinking and shook it vigorously twice.

Then he said, "I'm here to find someone. Once I find them, I'll release your whole family."

Six-Tailed Fox: ...

If you're looking for someone, just say so. Why make such a big fuss? It makes the animal think it's going to die here today.

"Sir, who are you looking for? I know this area very well!"

Even if it's unfamiliar territory, you have to be familiar with it. If all else fails, you can ask that gray wolf for help.

In short, nothing can stop it from trying to please the adult in front of it.

Long Ling reverted to his human form and released the foxes he had been holding.

Having gained their freedom, the foxes dared not escape.

If they stay put, they might have a chance to survive; if they run away, they might really only be left with their skin.

Long Ling took out her phone, displayed Yun Ran's photo, and shoved it in front of the six-tailed fox.

"This is the person. Have you seen him before?"

The six-tailed fox stared intently, afraid that it might misjudge the situation, as if it wanted to see every single hair on Yun Ran's head.

Before the six-tailed fox could answer, Long Ling thought for a moment, worried that Yun Ran and the others might have been separated.

He immediately dug out photos of ginseng fruit and Xie Xuzhi.

"And these two people too."

Six-Tailed Fox: ...

Why are there two more people? If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't defeat the dragon spirit in front of it, it would have cursed a few times. So it could only look at them carefully again. After a long while, the six-tailed fox was certain that it had never seen them before.

However, it didn't know that if it directly answered that it had never seen it, the Dragon King in front of it might kill it with a single swipe of his claw.

Deception is absolutely out of the question.

The six-tailed fox rolled its eyes: "I haven't seen it before."

"If you've seen it, you've seen it; if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. What do you mean by 'not having seen it yet'?"

Long Ling didn't want to nitpick over the words, but the way these words were spoken really affected her judgment.

The six-tailed fox immediately bowed and said humbly, "I didn't notice before, but since you came here looking for someone, they must be here."

"The Death Mountain is our home, we know it very well. If they're here, they'll find us easily."

As she spoke, the six-tailed fox, fearing that the dragon spirit wouldn't give them a chance, quickly pushed her few little cubs, who had gained sentience but couldn't yet spit out human eyes, forward.

"I'll leave them all here to keep you entertained. I'll go find them now."

You have to admit that those who have become sentient are different. They're clearly 'hostages,' but they're being portrayed as keeping the dragon spirit company.

Regardless of whether Long Ling agreed or not, the six-tailed fox pushed the little fox cub forward and immediately went to help find people.

Long Ling disgustedly stuffed the trembling, clearly frightened fox cubs back into the cave; he had no interest in babysitting.

Of course, they weren't worried about the six-tailed fox abandoning its cubs and running away.

Just now, he placed a mark on the six-tailed fox so that as soon as it finds Yunran and the others, Long Ling will know immediately.

Long Ling still held the aerial photograph of the Death Mountain that Gu Yuan had given him earlier, so he roughly knew the terrain here.

At this moment, he was only on the outskirts.

On the map, Long Ling could clearly see the difference between the vegetation data on the periphery and the data in the middle.

It has only been a day since Yunran disappeared. Under normal circumstances, Yunran should be on the outskirts.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

If those people were moving faster, or if they had some special passageway, then the distance might be wrong.

With that in mind, Long Ling put away the blueprints and planned to go take a look at the central area.

While you're at it, go over there and catch a few sentient beings to help him search.

The dragon spirit reverted to its original form and quickly appeared in the central region.

Suddenly, a familiar yet extremely unpleasant aura and pressure descended upon Long Ling.

The water dragon phantom that was flying in mid-air crashed to the ground and turned back into a human form.

"hiss……"

Long Ling covered her sore buttocks, which had been hit hard, and it took her a while to recover.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of some creatures in the central region of this Death Mountain.

A large snake with horns on its head lurked in the shadows, watching Long Ling furtively.

Long Ling took out her phone. At this moment, not only was the signal gone, but even the phone's built-in circuitry was starting to malfunction.

A phone that won't turn on, and the situation where I'm being suppressed...

Long Ling suddenly realized.

No wonder they couldn't contact Yunran before; there's clearly a large spirit-locking array here.

Electronic devices are basically equivalent to bricks here.

Those with exceptional abilities become mere weaklings compared to the ferocious beasts who survive through battle.
