Chapter 26: Secretly Tricking People
Wei Yunting and Wei Zonghan found out the reason why they were besieged by the blue-eyed wolves and quickly made arrangements.

Wei Yunting first asked everyone to put out the fire, and then took out a Qingfeng Talisman from the storage bag with some pain, and completely blew away the smell produced by the burning Lingjue wood. This made the blue-eyed wolves that were attacking the isolation formation gradually less restless.

Then Wei Zonghan raised his hand and threw the half piece of Lingjue wood out of the formation, hoping to lure away the group of blue-eyed wolves.

Because he wanted to lead the blue-eyed wolves to a farther place, Wei Zonghan added spiritual power to his hands when throwing. The throw was at least nearly 800 meters away, which should be Wei Zonghan's limit.

This piece of Lingjue wood hit the fat boy Wei Zonghao on the head. He covered his forehead with one hand and his mouth with the other, not daring to scream.

But the slight inhalation sound still woke Wei Yunxi up. She saw the burnt wood fallen under the tree and turned back to look at the little fat man.

Wei Zonghao then put down his little paw that was covering his mouth and said in a low voice:

"I don't know what happened, it just fell from above and hit me on the head."

Wei Yunxi subconsciously released his spiritual sense and saw that the group of blue-eyed wolves that were originally besieging the Wei family's isolation formation had turned around and were running towards them.

She quickly climbed down the tree, put the burnt wood into her storage bag, cast a dust removal talisman to eliminate the traces, and climbed back up the tree.

"Brother Zong Hao, do you have a breath-suppressing talisman?"

Yun Xi asked quickly.

Wei Zonghao nodded to indicate that he had it, and then took out two first-level breath-suppressing talismans from his storage bag.

Wei Yunxi took one without hesitation and slapped it on himself, then motioned Wei Zonghao to do the same, and made a "hush" gesture to the other party.

Wei Zonghao had heard the noise coming from afar, and immediately did as he was told, clinging tightly to the tree trunk beside him, even slowing down his breathing.

A moment later, the blue-eyed wolves came to the place where Wei Yunxi had just stayed. Two blue-eyed wolves sniffed there for a long time, but because of the effect of the dust removal talisman, they found nothing.

Finally, the two blue-eyed wolves raised their heads and howled, then led the pack back the same way to continue besieging the formation.

Wei Yunxi felt secretly happy after seeing this. From the piece of wood she had just put away, she had already figured out the reason why Wei Yunting and the others were being besieged.

The burnt wood is called Lingjue wood, which can soothe spiritual beasts that are giving birth. It is a kind of spiritual wood that male spiritual beasts like to store the most. Obviously, one of the six of them picked up this wood as an ordinary dead branch and even lit it to keep warm, so this attracted the blue-eyed wolves.

Wei Yunxi blindly guessed that the person who did this was probably Wei Yunqing. The other party had only been practicing for three months, and it was already very good that he could practice to the first level of Qi Refining. His knowledge of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts was definitely not as good as hers.

She was taken in by the Feng family to have a private tutor, and the first step in learning alchemy is to identify all the spiritual plants in the Wei Yu Realm. If she can't even distinguish the spiritual plants, how can she talk about alchemy?

And because the Feng family has a special alchemy room, when identifying spiritual plants, she can see the real thing in the spiritual plant sorting room, which makes it easier for her to deepen her memory.

She decisively climbed down the tree to collect her things just now because she smelled that familiar light sweet fruit scent. She reacted immediately and collected the Lingjue wood to trick a few people.

Of course, she would not tell Wei Zonghao about this. In fact, she wanted to put the things in the wooden sign space, where it was safer.

However, considering the monks from Haoran Sect who were observing her secretly, she gave up the idea. It was better to be careful than to be timid. After all, it fell from the sky, and she just picked it up.

The blue-eyed wolves didn't find what they wanted and were a little angry. They felt that they were tricked by these two-legged beasts, so they continued to besiege the isolation formation.

Wei Yunting and Wei Zonghan were unaware that their plan had failed, their supplies had gone into Wei Yunxi's storage bag, and now they were being attacked by the Blue-Eyed Wolves. They could only continue to place high-grade spirit stones into the array, hoping to hold out until dawn. However, this time, Wei Yunting didn't waste her own spirit stones, but was the first to ask Wei Yunqing for some.

Wei Yunqing knew that the team's misfortune was caused by her. She didn't want to be kicked out of the formation so she had to take out the spirit stones. She hesitated for a long time before taking out a low-grade spirit stone, and she felt pain in her heart for a long time. Then she sat cross-legged in silence in the corner of the formation and began to meditate.

Wei Yunting didn't say much. She placed the low-grade spirit stone in the slot of the array disk and continued to stare at the blue-eyed wolves outside.

The six of them had an agonizing night. Even if they wanted to concentrate on their cultivation, they couldn't do it. Being stared at by a group of blue-eyed wolves, who could concentrate on meditating and cultivating? The most they could do was close their eyes and rest.

After the sun rose the next day, the blue-eyed wolves saw that they could not break through the formation, so they left with their tails wagging. Their tribe was active at night and dormant during the day, so after dawn they returned to their own territory to recuperate.

The six of them breathed a sigh of relief only after all the blue-eyed wolves had left.

Wei Yunting saw that everyone was not in good spirits and it was unrealistic to hurry on, so she said:

"Everyone, sleep for an hour first, then we'll continue our journey. To avoid delaying our journey, we'll add an extra hour to our journey today."

Everyone else had no objection. They had just touched the threshold of cultivation and, like ordinary people, they also had to eat and sleep, otherwise their small bodies would not be able to bear it.

Wei Yunxi and Wei Zonghao did not have this worry. They both slept for three hours. After a simple breakfast at dawn, they took some fasting pills and red fruits, then slipped down the tree and continued on their way.

"Sister Yunxi, do you think we can catch up with Sister Yunting and the others?"

"I don't know either. As long as we speed up, we should be able to catch up."

Wei Yunxi said, blinking her almond-shaped eyes.

She didn't want to get close to Wei Yunqing, the troublemaker, so she intentionally or unintentionally took the little fat boy on a detour, avoiding the place where Wei Yunting and the others were resting.

After leaving Wei Yunqing, who had an accident-prone physique, the two of them quickened their pace. Wei Yunxi didn't want to be caught up by Wei Yunting and the others, and Wei Zonghao was afraid that if they went together, they would be easily spotted by the spiritual beasts hidden in the mountains, so he subconsciously quickened his pace.

In this way, the two children traveled for half a day. When they arrived at a stream, Wei Zonghao said that he could not walk any further. He sat down and said:

"Sister Yunxi, let's take a break!"

Wei Yunxi actually couldn't walk anymore. She psychologically believed that she could still walk, but her body was too tired to do so. After all, she was still a child.

So she also sat down on the ground, and after resting for about a quarter of an hour, she got up to fetch water from the stream. After drinking two sips herself, she handed it to the fat boy. After the fat boy was full, she started picking some inconspicuous grass by the stream.

Wei Zonghao drank some water and ate two pieces of dried meat before looking at the busy Wei Yunxi and said:

"Sister Yunxi, what are you doing?"

"I'm picking weeds."

"What are you picking that for?"

"Crush this micro-grass and apply it on your body. It will mask our scent, tricking the animals in the mountains into thinking we're plants, replacing the effect of the Breath-Suppressing Talisman."
