There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

"Aren't we there yet? We've already left the plains ahead." Bai Jie looked at the mountains in front of her and said to Chaos.

“It should be inside this mountain,” Chaos said.

He sensed that the guy was hiding in the mountains.

"Alright, let's catch that guy and go back, otherwise Tianlu and Bixie will go hungry when we get back." Bai Jie looked at the sky, estimating that it would be noon soon.

Chaos nodded, indicating that this trip should be quick and decisive.

Bai Jie, Hun Dun, and Di Jiang then followed the scent up the mountain.

"This road is really rugged and difficult to walk on. My paws are covered in sticky mud." Bai Jie complained, shaking off the sticky mud from her paws, and then quickened her pace.

Bai Jie, whose attention was focused on her feet, bumped into Chaos, who had stopped in front of her.

Bai Jie rubbed her forehead. "What's wrong? Have we arrived yet?" She looked ahead into the darkness.

It is a small hole in the mountain wall.

"Hmm?" Bai Jie asked, feigning confusion.

"That little guy is inside," Chaos said with certainty.

Bai Jie looked at the hole; it was so small... she definitely couldn't squeeze in.

"We probably can't get in, so what should we do?" Bai Jie said, somewhat troubled.

"I'll go first, make way," Chaos said, looking at the mountain wall.

Masaka! Bai Jie quickly retreated to a safe position.

Chaos took a deep breath and threw a punch. With a loud "bang," the small hole immediately became a hole larger than Chaos itself.

The little creatures inside trembled, staring in terror at the chaos that had just destroyed their door.

He has the appearance of a pig and the claws of a chicken.

"Woof..." The little creature was terrified.

Bai Jie's eyes widened. This was... Tanuki! She'd actually found it! What a pleasant surprise! But why was it in this area? Could it have been attracted by the chaotic divine power?

Looking at the trembling little fox, Bai Jie frowned again. Would this little guy really help us? Forcing a divine beast won't get any real results.

"I've got it!" Bai Jie's lips curled up, as if she had thought of something.

Bai Jie walked up to Tanuki and tapped Tanuki's forehead with her paw.

"To lead you into a dream."

In an instant, Tanuki fell asleep.

Bai Jie clapped her hands and said to Chaos, "It's done. Let's take him back with us!"

He added something to the dream-entering derivative technique, which should eliminate the little guy's fear. As long as he exudes goodwill in the dream, there shouldn't be any problems.

Chaos nodded, placed the Tanuki on his back, and Bai Jie jumped onto Chaos's back as well, and they went back.

. . .

"Ah~ Bixie, why haven't Baijie and the others come back yet? Did they get lost? I'm so hungry~" Tianlu said weakly, lying on the ground.

"Who told you to eat all the golden balls that the Four-Unlikes brought in one meal? You idiot." Bixie was also a little hungry and said to Tianlu.

"Why don't we go hunting? Maybe Bai Jie and the others will come back after we're done!" Tianlu said to Bixie with shining eyes.

"Well... maybe we should wait a little longer. We won't die if we don't eat a meal or two. If Bai Jie and the others come back and see that we're not here, they'll probably worry again," Bi Xie replied.

"I won't starve to death! But I'm in so much pain!" Tianlu lay on the ground, wailing helplessly.

Sibuxiang watched Tianlu acting like a spoiled brat and thought to himself: This little blue circle is really a character.

Then he looked at the sun overhead; it had already passed directly overhead and was beginning to set in the west. Jin Xian hadn't returned yet; could he have encountered danger? He silently prayed for Bai Jie to come back soon.

A few minutes later.

"We're back!"

Before seeing the beast, one hears its cry.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Bai Jie was returning, riding on Chaos's back.

"Bai Jie!" Tian Lu instantly revived on the spot and ran up to greet Bai Jie.

Seeing Tianlu running over, Bai Jie pinched his cheek.

Tianlu said dejectedly, "Today, Sibuxiang and the others still couldn't find the Tanuki you mentioned. Does that divine beast really exist?" After two days of fruitless searching, he began to doubt whether what Bai Jie said was true.

Bai Jie raised an eyebrow. Oh ho, you still don't believe me, huh?

"Why would I lie to you! Look at what's on Chaos's back." Bai Jie gently tapped Tianlu's head and pointed to the fox spirit behind him.

"That's... Tanuki!? You've found Bai Jie!" Tianlu was overjoyed. Didn't that mean we could settle down here?

Just as he was having a good time, a strange sound came from Tianlu's stomach: "Gurgle gurgle~~".

Tianlu scratched his head. "I'm a little hungry~ Hehehe~"

"Hahaha~" Bai Jie laughed.

"Here you go, have a taste first, we'll eat together later." Bai Jie handed Tianlu two gold bars, one for him to eat and the other for Bixie.

After Bai Jie arrived at the camp, she placed the Tanuki next to a small tree, distributed many gold bars to Tianlu Bixie, and then took out the meat that she had previously stored in her storage space and gave it to Hun Dun.

Everyone began their pleasant lunch.

"Woof..." Tanuki woke up from his sleep and found himself no longer in his original cave, and instinctively became alert.

However, upon seeing Bai Jie and the other beasts, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made him lower his guard.

"Oh? The little guy is awake. Would you like some?" Bai Jie handed a small piece of roasted meat to Li Li.

Tanuki looked at the grilled meat that was handed to her, hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up her mind. She took a bite of the grilled meat and was almost instantly won over by it.

Lili stared intently at the roasted meat, as if it were some kind of treasure. Then he looked at Bai Jie, blinked his little eyes, and wondered if this delicious food was really meant for him.

Seeing the longing and puzzled look in Lili's eyes, Bai Jie was amused. "Eat up, there's more if you're not full."

Upon hearing Bai Jie's answer, Li Li no longer hesitated and began to eat happily.

Tanuki doesn't have a big appetite; she's small and quite cute.

Watching Lili's belly grow at a visible speed, Bai Jie thought to herself: "I hope this little guy doesn't eat himself to death."

"Hiccup~ Woof~" Tanuki lay on the ground with a satisfied look on its face and fell asleep.

"!" Bai Jie was extremely surprised. The second Tianlu had appeared! Wasn't this Tianlu? He was so full that he just lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Turning my head to look at Tianlu, whose belly had also grown bigger, well~ he was already lying down, just like this Tanuki.

Bixie didn't eat until he was stuffed. After finishing a portion that suited him, he packed the gold bars into a cloth bag to eat next time Tianlu was hungry.

Si Bu Xiang watched Bai Jie the whole time.

Bai Jie patted the Si Bu Xiang's head, "Next time I'll find you some fairy herbs to make barbecue."

Bai Jie's words confused Si Bu Xiang: "Barbecue?"

"Hmm~ It's just roasting up some immortal herbs or edible plants. I once saw humans make it in a dream, and it was so delicious." Bai Jie coaxed the Qilin, since Qilin don't get involved in bloodshed, surely eating some roasted grass shouldn't be a problem~

The four-faced creature, with its signature squinting eyes, smiled and said, "Great! I like anything made of little gold thread~"
