Shenhai city.Xiao Yu didn't visit Wang Chengzhi's place in the following days, as Wan Sheng Tang had its membership day again. It was the busiest time for Xiao Yu then, but since these seniors all cam...Chapter 539

The medicinal herbs in these small herb fields were all different.

Xiao Yu carefully picked them all, as there was講究in picking the herbs; otherwise, many of their medicinal properties would be lost and their value halved.

After turning around to take a look at each of the herb fields and confirming that nothing had been left behind, he stood up.

"Grandpa Li, let's go!" Xiao Yu said to Li Sujun.

Although they hadn't gone everywhere in this place, during their journey here, they learned enough about it to know it was good that there were already so many valuable things here. Where else could there be anything

"Little White, let's go!" Xiao Yu said to Li Sujun and then called out to the Soul-devouring Rat.

"Squeak squeak." Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, the Soul-devouring Rat chirped twice, leaped onto Xiao Yu’s shoulder, and rubbed its face against his cheek.

Xiao Yu looked at it with a light smile and stroked its fur.

One after another, Xiao Yu and Li Sujun walked out of the courtyard towards where they had come from. This time, instead of taking their original route back, they took an alternate path that they hadn't taken before.

"Squeak squeak." Suddenly, the Soul-devouring Rat on Xiao Yu's shoulder chirped twice and leaped off his shoulder to run towards the end of this road.

"Little White, come back!" When Xiao Yu saw the Soul-Eating Mouse running towards the distant horizon, he called out to it.

However, the Soul-Eating Mouse seemed not to have heard Xiao Yu's call; instead, it continued running towards the end of this path, in a direction opposite to where Xiao Yu and his team were heading.

"Old Man, wait for me a moment. I’ll go fetch it back!" After seeing that the Soul-Eating Mouse ignored him, Xiao Yu said to Li Suijun who was standing beside him.

Without waiting for any response from Li Suijun, Xiao Yu quickly raced off towards where the Soul-Eating Mouse had run, as Zhang Dahan’s life still depended on them returning. The fact that this creature was causing trouble now made Xiao Yu feel slightly irked.

The Soul-Eating Mouse ran to the end of the path and turned a corner, running towards an intact house standing at the outskirts of this small village. Upon seeing the mouse enter the house, Xiao Yu followed swiftly behind.

Only when he entered the building did Xiao Yu realize that it was entirely constructed from stone, which explained its pristine condition.

Xiao Yu saw the Soul-Eating Mouse entering the room and approached the doorway himself. However, as soon as he got close to the door, a pungent smell of blood and death wafted out towards him.

The moment Xiao Yu smelt this noxious odor, his brows furrowed slightly; there was an undercurrent of bloody stench in that foul-smelling air.

Xiao Yu stepped into the room with a frown. The interior of the room had no decorations whatsoever but countless bones were scattered on the ground, along with several pools of dried blood. These bones did not belong to animals alone; some belonged to humans as well.

In one corner of the room, there was a pile of dry grass flattened by something that often rested there.

Xiao Yu knew this was a nest and judging from the scene in the house, it must have been the home of that ape. What puzzled him was, what was Little White doing here

Xiao Yu's eyes were fixed on the pile of dry grass inside the room because at this moment, that white mouse was constantly using its little paws to flip through the weeds.

"Little White, what are you doing It’s time to go!" Xiao Yu shouted at the mouse.

"Squeak squeak" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the soul-eating mouse paused in his work with the dry grass, turned around and called out twice to Xiao Yu. After that, it bent its head down again and used its paws to move some of the dry grass around. After a couple more movements, it looked up at Xiao Yu and started calling out again.

"Are you telling me to help you flip through this" Xiao Yu watched as the soul-eating mouse occasionally moved the dry grass on the ground and glanced at him from time to time. It seemed like he understood something and asked.

"Squeak squeak" The soul-eating mouse called out several times after hearing Xiao Yu’s words, and surprisingly, Xiao Yu heard a hint of excitement in its voice.

Hearing the soul-eating mouse's call, Xiao Yu walked over to this corner and reached out to lift up the pile of dry grass that it was working on.

Seeing Xiao Yu lifting up the dry grass, the soul-eating mouse excitedly called out once more, then darted forward immediately. From under these pieces of dry grass, it picked up a small yellow bell with its mouth.

Xiao Yu looked at the bell in the soul-eating mouse's mouth and was taken aback. He realized that this bell actually looked exactly like the one used by the corpse handler he saw on that night.

“Soul-summoning Bell” Xiao Yu thought silently while staring at the bell.

The soul-eating mouse carried the small yellow bell over to Xiao Yu's shoulder and handed it to him. A hint of satisfaction appeared on its face after doing so.

Xiao Yu looked at this soul-eating mouse with a strange look, wondering how could it possibly know there was a bell here It had lived in Northeast China before and definitely hadn't been here. Moreover, the location where the bell was hidden was very concealed.

Even an ordinary person would not bother to flip through this pile of hay!

However, Xiao Yu quickly gathered his thoughts. He had to leave as soon as possible because he had already spent quite some time here and didn't know how Zhang Dahai and the others were faring now. So after putting away the bell, he hurriedly left and went towards Li Su Jun who was standing in the distance.

Xiao Yu walked up to the platform they came from together with Li Su Jun. Li Su Jun looked back at this place shrouded in poisonous miasma, thinking that troops would have to be stationed here since it was such a miraculous spot and had to be controlled by the nation.

As for these toxic fogs, to the vast machine of the nation, they were nothing. The nation might not necessarily have ways to cure them, but could easily avoid them.

The country could even conquer space; how difficult would it be to deal with this poisonous fog With a set of equipment, one person alone can enter such an environment.

On their way back, they were much more relaxed compared to when they came. When they arrived here, the future was unknown to them, but now that they knew what lay ahead, they quickly walked out of the swamp.

Af ter leaving the swamp, both of them glanced at each other and nodded before sprinting towards the mountain top.

"Master Li and Master Xiao, you're back!" Daoist Priest Baiyun, who was anxiously waiting on the mountain top, hurriedly said upon seeing the two emerge from the poisonous fog.

“This is” Just as Daoist Priest Baiyun finished speaking, he noticed the corpse of the ape carried by Master Li and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

"This should be what attacked my brother and his team!" Xiao Yu said upon hearing Daoist Priest Baiyun's words.
