Chapter 24: The Vitality Species: Sleepy Bug

"Wow! We're really flying!"

Clinging tightly to the red leopard's body, the eldest girl shouted excitedly.

The red cheetah soared into the clouds, with fiery clouds burning fiercely beneath its feet, crossing a distance of over ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Considering the eldest girl's mortal flesh and blood, Xi Luo's altitude while soaring was not particularly high, nor was her speed particularly fast.

Even so, the scenery flashing past in an instant still thrilled the eldest girl, causing her to forget to breathe for a moment.

As for Li Li Boyang in the backpack.

Having ridden high-speed trains and airplanes in his past life, he was surprised but did not act as if he had never seen the world, like the eldest girl.

After all, Xi Luo's current speed was at most comparable to that of an ordinary car in his past life.

According to Li Li Boyang's mental calculation, Xi Luo could reach the Mountain God Temple in less than twenty minutes to cover this distance of over ten kilometers.

However, facts proved that Li Li Boyang's thoughts were a bit too simple.

Through the insight of the Heavenly Eye, a distance of over ten kilometers did not seem particularly far.

But only when Li Li Boyang personally arrived near the Mountain God Temple did he realize why Xi Luo had been so solemn.

Because ordinary people simply could not find the road leading to the Mountain God Temple.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a not particularly thick mist shrouded the area around the Mountain God Temple.

These mists did not have much effect, but they could mislead the direction of advance for outsiders at critical moments.

Without Xi Luo leading the way, even if they knew there was a Flying Peak in the mountains and a Mountain God Temple on the Flying Peak, they still could not find that Shanfeng.

【Soul-Confusing Formation?】

With a touch of surprise, Li Li Boyang's voice rang in the hearts of Xi Luo and the eldest girl.

At this moment, the wonderful utility of the Lingxi Horn was demonstrated.

Communication via the Lingxi Horn reached directly to the heart, completely unaffected by external wind speeds, accurately and clearly conveying the holder's thoughts.

This was a special mode of communication that transcended language and transcended writing.

Even though Xi Luo had never heard the term "Soul-Confusing Formation," she could directly understand Li Li Boyang's meaning.

"Soul-Confusing Formation?"

"That phrasing is quite interesting."

"However, this is not a Soul-Confusing Formation, but rather caused by the special terrain and climate of the Flying Peak."

"The reason why my sister chose to build the Mountain God Temple on this Flying Peak was largely due to the existence of these mists."

Relying on the advantage of flight at high altitude, Xi Luo ignored those complex terrains and mists, quickly entering the range of the Flying Peak.

【No wonder the Mountain God Temple is so close to the village, yet no one has ever discovered it.】

Thinking thus, Li Li Boyang lowered his head with a complex expression and glanced at the various protective Talisman and Incantation and peace Talisman and Incantation on his body.

These protective Talisman and Incantation and peace Talisman and Incantation were obtained by Chen Yun after great hardship.

Just like the red hat on his head, these Talisman and Incantation were manifestations of a mother's love.

Therefore, even though he knew these Talisman and Incantation had no effect whatsoever, Li Li Boyang still carefully treasured them.

【I will protect you, no matter what method I use.】

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Only after personally setting foot on this Flying Peak did Li Li Boyang realize that he had ultimately underestimated this Shanfeng.

Xi Luo did not land directly near the Mountain God Temple.

Instead, she landed on the mountainside, still some distance away from the Mountain God Temple.

This was a clearly artificial small path, and it looked as if someone had been maintaining it for years.

Looking from afar, one could see the green stone steps winding and spiraling, extending all the way from the foot of the mountain to the Mountain God Temple.

Whoosh!

When Xi Luo leaped down from the half-air, the flames beneath her feet quickly ignited the nearby weeds.

Only then did Li Li Boyang realize why the other party had landed here.

Because the weeds here indeed seemed a bit more abundant than in other places; they needed to be cleared in advance.

Otherwise, the winding stone steps would be covered by those weeds and vines right here, making the road up the mountain impossible to see again.

"Fire! What beautiful fire!"

Still clinging tightly to Xi Luo's body, the eldest girl laughed at those spiritual flames.

After all, those fire snakes only burned weeds and vines, leaving everything else completely untouched.

This magical scene inevitably made the eldest girl feel excited.

【Huh? What is that?】

Just then, Li Li Boyang suddenly saw an insect flying out from among the fire snakes.

For some reason, Li Li Boyang felt that the insect looked somewhat familiar; he must have seen it somewhere before.

"That is a Sleepy Bug."

Walking lightly on the stone steps, Xi Luo's voice seemed much more cheerful.

"The last few times I went to your house, I used these Sleepy Bugs to make your parents fall asleep."

After Xi Luo's reminder, Li Li Boyang immediately remembered.

He had originally thought it was some kind of divine technique or spell of Xi Luo's, but he never expected it to be the effect of these little insects.

【These insects can make people fall into deep sleep?】

With a touch of curiosity, Li Li Boyang carefully examined the insect that was buzzing.

"Yes! If you like them, I'll give you two later."

Seeing Xi Luo being so generous for once, Li Li Boyang was just about to say something when he heard the other party add again.

"Anyway, these things are practically flooding the place; you could raise a whole brood and it wouldn't matter."

As he spoke, Li Li Boyang clearly heard a hint of expectation and schadenfreude in Xi Luo's words.

【Is raising these sleepworms really that troublesome?】

Li Li Boyang had no experience raising pets, but he had heard that raising pets was troublesome.

"No, these sleepworms are actually very easy to raise..."

"You just need to find a place rich in primal energy, warm and humid, plant some grasses, and soon you'll breed a whole bunch."

"They don't even like biting people; they actively drive away mosquitoes nearby. Raising a bunch at home is simply too convenient."

Glancing skeptically at Xi Luo, Li Li Boyang was about to say something else when the bold young girl reached out to catch that sleepworm.

The next second, the startled sleepworm suddenly spread its wings and flew toward the young girl's ear.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, it was now the young girl's turn to be startled and try to dodge.

Fortunately, Li Li Boyang in the backpack, quick-eyed and fast-handed, acted in time to catch the panicked sleepworm.

Turning to see this scene, Xi Luo finally stopped concealing the smile on her face and continued explaining.

"Of course, these sleepworms are very timid; at the slightest disturbance, they burrow into animals' ears..."

"Yet they can also release a special scent..."

"Any living creature that smells this scent will quickly fall into deep sleep."

"The reason Feilai Peak is so quiet is largely due to these sleepworms."

Staring at Xi Luo, who was enjoying the spectacle and making things worse, with a face full of black lines, Li Li Boyang finally understood where that hint of expectation came from.

【You really want to see me embarrassed, don't you?】
