Chapter 480 Rescue

Follow the pen of Qianfan Wang from the Wangchuan family and embark on an adventure in Cola Novels titled "Senior Sister, Stop Working and Go Home for Dinner".

The black bear spirit struggled to stand up, but was bound by ropes and could not. It looked at Lu Kong with a pleading look in its eyes.

Lu Kong smiled and waved his hand, and the rope came loose.

The black bear spirit quickly got up, its massive body resembling a moving small mountain in the firelight. It bowed deeply to Chen Anran, then turned and walked into the depths of the forest. After a few steps, it turned back, cautiously checking to see if Chen Anran and the others were following.

Chen Anran followed.

Lu Kong followed beside him, his face still bearing his usual smile.

Qi Lan stood up, dusted herself off, and followed. Master Tianbao sighed, took the pot off the fire, and handed it to Jiang Yan: "Keep an eye on the porridge, don't let it burn."

Jiang Yan nodded, holding the pot, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where Chen Anran and the others had left.

Xiao Ling'er pulled Wei Yiran's hand, wanting to follow, but Qi Lan turned around and glanced at her: "You stay here and take care of the old hedgehog."

Xiao Ling pouted, but didn't dare to argue. After all, Wei Yi was still a mortal and hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation yet, so staying was the best option.

…………

Deep in the mountains and forests, the light from the flashlight shone exceptionally brightly in the night.

The black bear spirit walked at the front, its massive body moving nimbly through the forest. Behind it, the chained monsters followed in a line, heads hanging low. Occasionally, if one of them slowed down, it would be tugged by the rope in front, staggering forward.

The little deer followed closely beside Chen Anran, its fluffy ears standing straight up, and its eyes shone brightly in the darkness, like two stars that had fallen into their sockets.

While observing the deer ahead, they did not notice that Chen Anran appeared dazed.

He was just thinking that Feng Xiaolu and they were in the same situation back on Yunyin Mountain.

Three thousand years.

He thought that when he saw her again, she would be an ordinary woman in the mountains or a female cultivator in a celestial sect. He made all sorts of preparations, but he never imagined that she would become a demon.

He never imagined that she would look at him with those exact same eyes and ask, "Who are you?"

"arrive."

The black bear spirit's voice pulled him back to reality.

The group stopped in front of a cliff face. The cliff was steep and sheer, covered with moss and vines, and looked no different from the surrounding forest. But upon closer inspection, a dark cave entrance could be vaguely seen behind the vines.

"This is it." The black bear spirit pointed cautiously. "There's a formation concealing the cave, so you can't see it from the outside. The lesser demons we've captured are all locked up inside."

As it spoke, it reached out and parted the vines.

The entrance to the hole was revealed.

It wasn't large, only about the width of two people sitting side by side. A damp, musty smell wafted out, mixed with a certain fishy odor, making the deer wrinkle its nose.

The cave entrance was also protected by a barrier, but Lu Kong broke it with a simple wave of his hand.

Chen Anran was the first to go in.

The flashlight beam shone into the cave, dispelling some of the darkness. The cave wasn't deep; after walking a dozen or so feet, it reached its end.

There was a naturally formed stone chamber, about three or four zhang square, with a fist-sized hole in the top, letting in a few rays of moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a group of little monsters huddled together.

They huddled together in the corner of the stone chamber, the larger ones embracing the smaller ones, the smaller ones hiding from the larger ones, all clustered together. There were rabbits, squirrels, foxes, badgers, weasels, and some others whose names I didn't know. Their fur was filthy, their eyes were filled with fear, and some were trembling.

The moment the flashlight beam shone into the cave, the little monsters huddled in the corner stirred in alarm.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"Waaaaah—"

"Get behind me! Everyone, get behind me!"

A fox spirit with disheveled fur spread its front paws, shielding several smaller rabbit and squirrel spirits behind it. It trembled all over, yet stood firmly in front, its eyes filled with fear and despair.

But when it saw the person standing at the entrance of the cave, it froze.

The flashlight beam was too bright, stinging its eyes. It squinted, straining to see, and saw a young man carrying a red gourd standing at the front, holding the glowing object in his hand. Behind him stood many people, men and women, young and old, and another…

"A deer?!"

The fox spirit's screams echoed through the stone chamber.

The group of little monsters were all stunned, and then they all rushed to look towards the cave entrance.

"A deer? Where's the deer?"

"It really is a deer!"

"The fawn was caught too?"

Xiao Lu squeezed out from behind Chen Anran, the flashlight beam shining directly on her face.

The flashlight beam was so bright that the little deer squinted. She shielded her eyes with her hand, and only after her eyes adjusted to the light could she see what was in front of her.

The group of little monsters huddled in the corner were all filthy, their fur matted, and some even had injuries. The fox spirit at the front, whose fur should have been fiery red, was now a dull gray. It spread its front paws to protect the smaller ones behind it, trembling all over, yet stubbornly refusing to retreat.

It squinted and stared intently at the fawn for several seconds, then suddenly tears welled up in its fox eyes.

"Little Deer...is that really you?"

It wanted to run forward, but stopped after taking just one step. It looked warily at the people standing behind the deer—especially the young man at the front carrying the red gourd and the glowing thing in his hand.

"You...how did you get caught too?" The fox spirit's voice trembled, tears streaming down her face. "I told you not to come back after you ran away...How could you be so foolish..."

As soon as it started crying, the little monsters behind it also started crying.

A gray-white rabbit spirit peeked out from behind it, its long ears drooping and its eyes red. Upon seeing the little deer, it cried even harder.

"Little Deer! Little Deer, you've been captured too! Waaaaah—it's all over, we're all going to be used to make pills—"

"Don't cry, little rabbit!" A squirrel spirit squeezed out from the other side, its tail puffed up like a ball of fur, but its own eyes were red-rimmed. "What's the use of crying? If you're going to die, die with dignity!"

After saying that, it burst into tears.

The little deer stood there, staring at its group of crying friends for a full three seconds, then burst out laughing.

"Why are you crying?" She laughed so hard she almost fell over. "I wasn't arrested! I'm here to rescue you!"

The crying stopped abruptly.

The fox spirit's tears were still on her face, her mouth was open, and she looked dumbfounded.

The rabbit spirit blinked its red eyes, and snot bubbles even came out of its nose.

The squirrel spirit's tail bristled even more, like a fluffy ball of fur.

"Save...save us?" The fox spirit swallowed hard, her gaze shifting from the fawn to the group behind her. "The...them?"

Little Deer nodded vigorously, then turned and pointed at Chen Anran: "This is True Man Chen! He's incredibly powerful! And Immortal Lu Kong, he captured all those great demons by himself just now! Did you see that big black bear? It was lying on the ground, too scared to move!"

As she spoke, she pointed behind her: "And there's Sister Qi Lan, she's also a demon, and she's so beautiful! Daoist Tianbao, Master Huiming, Uncle Jiang... they're all here to help!"

The group of little monsters looked at each other in bewilderment.

The rabbit spirit muttered under her breath, "Little deer, you...you've been tricked, haven't you? Why would these immortals help us little monsters?"
