Chapter 1003 Sudden Changes
Bai Tong suddenly spoke:

"He is the three-tailed red squirrel who made a deal with Fairy Ranxi."

After listening, Yunxi communicated with the fairy spirit and then sent a wisp of pure wood-type immortal energy into the three-tailed red squirrel's body, temporarily stabilizing its worsening injuries.

However, during this process, a familiar aura also climbed up along with her immortal energy. Yunxi quickly cut off this immortal energy and frowned, saying:

"It was an evil immortal who hurt him."

Ape Five and Ape Six were somewhat surprised, not expecting that an evil immortal would appear in the Dream Cloud Mountains. They quickly surrounded Yunxi and the three-tailed red squirrel, looking around warily.

Just then, the red squirrel opened its eyes. It was momentarily dazed upon seeing Yunxi, but after a couple of breaths, it regained its senses, its eyes slowly moving until it saw the six-armed ape beside it, before finally speaking:

"Please save me!"

Before she could finish speaking, the other person's eyes turned from black to red, and then they sprang up, transforming into a streak of red light and attacking Yunxi first.

Yunxi moved slightly, flicking out the purple smoke. The purple flames instantly wrapped around the three-tailed red squirrel. Several red steel needles fired by the squirrel also collided with the Frost Ice Needles. The change happened too fast. Ape Five and Ape Six simultaneously erected defensive shields to protect Bai Tong.

Fortunately, the three-tailed red squirrel was attacking Yunxi, giving the six-armed ape ample time to react.

While the three-tailed red squirrel was being scorched by the purple smoke, it briefly regained its senses. Yunxi immediately pressed for an answer:

"Who attacked your tribal lands?"

"They are human."

"What did they do?"

"They trapped us in the clan's territory with strange things. As time went by, the lower-level members of the clan died. When the ancestor attacked the light barrier, he suffered a backlash. He then used the innate skill of the Three-Tailed Red Squirrel clan to cleave a spatial rift and send a few of us out of the clan's territory so that we could go out and seek help."

But the moment we left our territory, we were attacked. I didn't know if my companions were still alive. During my escape, I was attacked and fell off a cliff, activating my talent, Escape.

The three-tailed red squirrel said only these words before its eyes turned red again, and the red in its eyes grew deeper and deeper. The next second, its consciousness would be swallowed up.

Yunxi frowned, knowing that the three-tailed red squirrel was beyond saving. With a sigh, she was about to unleash her strange fire to kill it when she saw the squirrel extend its sharp nails and plunge them into its forehead. It then pulled out a bloody bead and threw it to Yunxi. The next instant, it turned to ashes in the purple flames.

Yunxi caught the bead with her hand covered in strange fire and discovered that the bead, which was the size of a quail egg, was the inner core of a fourth-order three-tailed red squirrel. The bead contained all of the creature's cultivation, and a miniature three-tailed red squirrel was curled up in the center of the bead, which should be the last trace of the creature's consciousness.

Ape Five and Ape Six exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes. The fact that the other would rather kill himself than become a puppet of the enemy, and that he could force a fourth-tier immortal beast to end its own life, showed how powerful the enemy was.

Based on what the red squirrel said, Yunxi deduced that the evil immortal must have ambushed the three-tailed red squirrel clan, using an array to trap the entire group of red squirrels in their territory, and then letting them do whatever they wanted.

They simply don't know how many people the Evil Immortal has, or whether his purpose in capturing the Three-Tailed Red Squirrel clan is for some rare treasure in their territory, or for the Three-Tailed Red Squirrels themselves.

Just as Yunxi lowered her eyes in thought, Yuan Liu spoke:

"Although we don't know what happened to the Three-Tailed Red Squirrel clan, we can't stand idly by, otherwise our clan might be next. I need to send someone back to our clan to report the news, and then go to the pine forest to check on the situation."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Tong in his arms. If that was the case, it would be inconvenient for Bai Tong to follow them.

Bai Tong shook his head and said:

"I want to be with you all." Ape Five scratched his head and said:
"Bai Tong, if we encounter enemies, they might fight. If you come with us, you'll get hurt."

Bai Tong looked at Ran Xi, who was deep in thought, and said:
"Follow Fairy Ranxi, she should have a solution, you don't need to make a big fuss."

Bai Tong's words also made Yun Xi, who was thinking of a solution, raise her head, and she twitched her lips and said:
"We appreciate your high regard, but you are indeed not suitable to follow us anymore. How about we send you back to your clan's territory first?"

Bai Tong continued to shake his head, glancing at the Thousand Illusions Flowing Unicorn Mother-Child Ring on Yun Xi's arm, his meaning self-evident.

Yunxi was somewhat exasperated. This was a Celestial Beast Ring, and the Ice-Yi White Tiger couple were inside. Although it could provide him with a separate space, it would be an insult to Bai Tong, and the Six-Armed Apes would definitely not agree to it.

Ape Six glanced at Yun Xi's exquisite armlet, still not understanding Bai Tong's intention, while Ape Five asked directly:
"Ranxi, what's the purpose of this ring?"

Yunxi could only offer a tactful explanation, and sure enough, Yuan Liu's expression immediately changed. He refused to agree no matter what, but Bai Tong insisted:
"I'm just an ordinary white ape. I don't need to acknowledge a master to go in, and I'm very safe inside. You can all go about your business without worry."

Now that you can't be sure if the same thing will happen in your territory, it's safer for me to stay with you.

"And Fairy Ranxi is the smartest person. I'll be more comfortable with her, and I'm sure nothing will happen to me."

Yunxi's eyes flashed after hearing this, and she frowned, saying:
"Bai Tong, did you use your innate skill?"

This time, Bai Tong didn't answer, but instead nestled her head in Yuan Liu's shoulder and whispered:
"I only see hope for my people to survive in you."

These words silenced the eight six-armed apes. It turned out that Bai Tong's actions were not capricious, but rather had a reason.

Yunxi frowned and asked:

"Bai Tong, what else did you see?"

Bai Tong sensed that Yun Xi's tone had softened and that she didn't blame him, so he looked up.
"That's all I can see. Everything else is shrouded in mist and I can't see it at all."

Yunxi breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the other party insisted on continuing to watch, they would probably die even faster. She always remembered that she was a "variable". The reason she was called a "variable" was because her appearance would affect the fate of the people around her. Whether it was guiding them onto the right track or defying fate, her appearance changed many predetermined trajectories.

This time it's going to be the same, which is why Bai Tong is clinging to her. She said that Bai Tong promised to grant her wish, but how could there be no price to pay? Now is the time to pay the price.

“I understand what you mean. Since I want to get what I want, I have to make some sacrifices. Helping the six-armed ape clan continue is what you want me to do.”

Bai Tong nodded seriously.

Yunxi's gaze swept over the eight six-armed apes. This time, without her having to speak, the sixth ape handed over the white pupil:

"Since Bai Tong has said so, then we'll listen to him."

Yunxi took the little one speechlessly, raising an eyebrow and saying:

I hope your answer will satisfy me.

He then sent Bai Tong into the Thousand Illusions Flowing Unicorn Mother-Child Ring before looking up and saying:
"Send one person back to the clan to report the news, and the rest of you will come with me to find the high-ranking Dream Orchid."
