Chapter 356: Release Our Saintess

It was none other than Little Spirit, who had been asleep for a long time, who spoke.

Little Spirit’s flame flew for a while, and seeing that their attention was all on her, she touched her head a little embarrassedly.

“Why are you all looking at me? It’s embarrassing.”

Little Spirit chuckled twice, then continued, “I was just asleep, but I know everything that happened to you.”

“Then do you have a solution?”

Su Chen asked impatiently.

Little Spirit nodded immediately. Although she was just a small flame, her words revealed a hint of pride: “This purple barrier is a great tonic for me. I can devour it in a few bites.”

“But if you eat it, won’t the Sun Family and Nangong Family find out?”

Luo Shen subconsciously frowned and asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry, I can feel that this barrier is closely related to the entire Thunder Sound Mountain. I’ll just eat a little bit and make a small opening in the barrier. They won’t notice. It will recover on its own later.”

Little Spirit impatiently circled in front of the barrier, smelling its scent, drooling with desire.

Others were not spirit fires, so naturally they couldn’t feel the fragrant and delicious smell, but for her, this was a rare delicacy!

Su Chen was amused by her impatient look.

“Then go ahead and eat. Let’s act quickly and get this over with.” Su Chen said with a smile.

Upon receiving the order, the flames around Little Spirit instantly doubled in size, as if opening her mouth wide. In the blink of an eye, a gap was opened in the barrier in front of her.

The gap grew bigger and bigger in an instant, and Little Spirit happily munched away.

Finally, when the gap was large enough for one person to pass through, they all went through. Little Spirit then looked at the barrier reluctantly, burped, and said with satisfaction, “Delicious!”

“You glutton, we still have important things to do. If you eat too much, we’ll all be discovered.”

Su Chen couldn’t help but say to Little Spirit.

Little Spirit also knew that now was not the time to be greedy, so she could only look at the barrier reluctantly, then replied dejectedly and disappeared.

A’nuo was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

She blinked her big eyes, still pointing in the direction where Little Spirit disappeared, and said, “That fire can talk. Is it a spirit?”

“You can think of it that way. It’s the intelligence of a spirit fire, just a glutton.”

Su Chen chuckled and gave a simple explanation.

“It’s so amazing that it actually bit through the barrier. I saw those people trying to get in before, and they suffered a lot.”

A’nuo’s face was full of admiration, but when she recalled what the Sun Family and Nangong Family had done recently, her eyes couldn’t help but dim.

They were initially happy when outsiders came in, but who would have thought that it was because of these outsiders that they brought disaster upon themselves.

If they could, they would rather that day had never happened.

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past. Now take me to your people quickly.”

Su Chen touched A’nuo’s head and said in a gentle voice.

It was his first time dealing with such a young child, and he was afraid that he would scare her if he spoke too loudly. His originally youthful voice was forced into a strange, high-pitched tone.

Xiao Xian couldn’t help but laugh first when she heard this voice: “Master, what’s with that strange voice of yours?”

✿✿✿

She walked up to Su Chen, her eyes curved into crescents, her words full of teasing.

“I think yesterday’s lesson wasn’t enough for you. You still have the energy to laugh at me now.”

Su Chen felt inexplicably embarrassed and glared at Xiao Xian, his words full of threats.

Xiao Xian’s face flushed as she thought of yesterday’s absurdity. She quickly shut her mouth and, as if avoiding a plague, stayed far away from Su Chen.

After passing through this barrier, they walked for several hours before finally seeing daylight again.

A’nuo climbed out and cautiously looked around to make sure there were no other guards before letting Su Chen and the others climb out.

“This is Thunder Sound Mountain.”

Green Vine looked at the surrounding scenery with great curiosity.

As far as the eye could see was a lush forest, but the plants here were different from the outside world. The leaves were basically dark purple, and due to the influence of the island, they were also surrounded by light purple electric currents.

Even Green Vine, who could communicate with plants, learned that in order to survive, these plants had evolved to be integrated with the thunder attribute over the years.

It was already approaching evening, and there was almost no light, especially in this forest, where the towering trees blocked almost all the light.

“Where should we go to find your people now?”

Su Chen asked subconsciously. He could feel that they were inside Thunder Sound Mountain.

“We have to go through another barrier.”

A’nuo said, “When our ancestors came here, they predicted that there would be a great disaster in the future. We have to hide behind the barrier to have a chance of survival. However, the barrier cannot be maintained for long. Once it is opened, it will isolate the inside and outside. Only our people can find the traces within.”

As A’nuo spoke, she kept walking forward, introducing the specific situation of Thunder Sound Mountain along the way.

They paid attention to the surroundings while following A’nuo. After walking for a full hour, they finally arrived at a waterfall.

A’nuo stopped and chanted words that they couldn’t understand, but a lot of thunder elements gathered around her.

Then, the waterfall in front of them seemed to be cut in half, opening a straight path, and the water flowing down from above was also split at this moment.

“Alright, let’s go in.”

A’nuo gasped for breath, took out the pills Su Chen had given her earlier, swallowed a few whole, and covered up her pale face.

This mystical scene was not particularly strange to them, but it was still a bit shocking to see it with their own eyes.

They nodded and followed her in.

After passing through the waterfall, the scenery changed again. At first glance, it was actually no different from the scenery of Thunder Sound Mountain, but the spiritual energy here was obviously more abundant and more humid.

As they continued walking forward, they saw a cave. Just as they were about to enter, two people suddenly rushed out of the entrance, drawing their swords and charging towards them.

“You despicable villains, you dared to kidnap the Saintess and find this place! Surrender quickly and release our Saintess! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”

As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of swords and a surge of thunder elements, making their bones numb.

Seeing that her people had misunderstood, A’nuo quickly rushed to the front and used her frail body to block their attack.
