Chapter 109: Every step is a scenic view, every move is different

  "Huh?"

  Ning Feng was sizing up whether there were any mouse holes that he could enter, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure coming from the other side of the mountain.

  That was a huge grey-haired mouse that almost crawled up the mountain with difficulty from the other side.

  On all fours, this grey-haired old mouse was like a heap of rotten meat, its whole body dull and lustreless, with flesh hanging down, looking utterly wretched.

  The more Ning Feng looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. A name floated up from his mind, but looking at the person in front of him like this, he somewhat didn't dare to confirm it.

  After a few breaths, this big grey-haired mouse finally climbed up, took a deep breath like a bellows, and suddenly stood up.

  In front of Ning Feng, this grey-haired old mouse thoroughly performed what was called a big change in facial expression, inhaling, retracting its abdomen, lifting its anus, puffing out its chest, and raising its head...

  A series of movements later, the grey mouse standing upright looked to be two or three men tall, with a rather majestic and awe-inspiring appearance.

  "Cough cough cough~"

  "Kids, come and help Grandpa up, Grandpa wants to pay respects to our family's Heavenly Brother."

  Unfortunately, the grey mouse's posture is enough, and its image is really embarrassing.

  A triangular head wrapped in bandages, barely revealing half of his face, one eye still blind, a gaping hole appeared, with charred and twisted scars around the edges.

  The ugliest part is still the half tail stuck between his two legs, only a small half, and the remaining part is bald like a sheep's tail.

  Not far away, Ning Feng quietly watched this scene, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

  "It really is it!"

  "Groundhog!"

  Ning Feng recognized him.

  The gray-haired mouse in front of him, who was pretending to be a narcissus without flowers, was actually the one that had let him escape when he and Chen Xiwei fought side by side.

  Occupying the mine, letting rats wreak havoc, resulting in a mine collapse. The number of miners who died is countless.

  "You let him get away back then, and now he's delivering himself right to your doorstep."

  He rubbed his fists and palms together, his eyes gleaming with excitement in the dimly lit room, his gaze sweeping over the bald tail. To think that these were still his masterpieces.

  It's a long story, but in short, Ning Feng confirmed his identity. He suddenly stood up from his hiding place, pulled out the Huo Huan flag with his hand, and the entire process was over before the sound of the mouse's tail had faded away. The old mouse hole in front of him still hadn't made a move.

  A gust of wind passed, lifting the corner of Ning Feng's scholar robe. The next instant, his movements were faster than the wind. He took several steps forward like a mountain collapse, his hand holding the flag upright like a spear, charging straight up.

  Behind him, the Temple of the Sun God emerged in splendor, and the surrounding sunlight converged to dye his scholar's robe a dazzling golden hue, still surging into his body as if reluctant to stop.

  "What sound?"

  The mouse's ears, which had been mangled under the ring on Qixi Festival, suddenly perked up and it turned around abruptly.

  He had just made this move when Ning Feng was thirty zhang away from him.

  Turning halfway through, fifteen zhang;

  Back against the mouse hole, facing Ningfeng, five zhang!

  The next moment, the only eye left on the ground mouse suddenly rounded up, and a light of extreme horror flashed in his eyes. His whole body's gray hair stood up, as if the elephant had stepped on the mouse's tail that didn't exist anymore.

  Visibly, around each root of the exploded mouse hair, there is a faint aura lingering, which is the evil spirit stirring and condensing.

  There is still a distance of fifty feet, but it may be as insurmountable as a natural moat.

  "With just one breath, if he lets the thoroughbred mouse delay for a single breath of time, those disciples and grandchildren of his sworn brother, the heavenly mouse, will rush out, that's the rhythm of being piled to death!"

  Ning Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he took a deep breath. His arm made a gesture as if holding a gun.

  Across from him, Chu Di's mouth was agape, heaven knows whether he wanted to stall for time, or if he had recognized Ning Feng's identity and was about to shout in surprise, or perhaps cry out in terror.

  No one will ever know.

  At the moment when his mouth opened widest, a strange change suddenly occurred.

  The Ning Wind held the banner of Huan Hua in his hand, and suddenly sucked up all the light from heaven and earth. All the colorful lights swelled against the wind to a length of about five feet, neither more nor less, without any difference, and were inserted straight into the mouse's mouth.

  "Ugh..."

  The words were stuck in his throat and he could only manage a faint moan.

  The next moment, a dazzlingly bright light burst out of the groundhog's mouth, accompanied by a smell similar to burnt roasted meat.

  The sparkle in the mouse's eyes dissipated in an instant, leaving only unspeakable terror lingering behind.

  Witnessing this scene with his own eyes and being the one who caused it, Ning Feng's expression suddenly became complicated.

  It wasn't long ago that he and Chen Xiwei joined forces to barely defeat a powerful demon, but now he was simply killed in one surprise attack.

  "On the path of cultivating immortality, there are many diverging roads; every step is a turning point, and every step reveals new scenery!"

  Ning Feng's emotions only lingered for a moment, and before he could even fully savor the difference between victory and defeat, his ears perked up, and he heard the sound of "rustling" coming from the cave in front of him.

  The ground mouse brother, his goal this time is the disciples of Tongtian Mouse, who are about to surge out from the old mouse hole.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the banner suddenly shrunk from five zhang long to an extremely small size and disappeared into Ning Feng's sleeve. At the same time, he leaned forward, holding his breath and suppressing his nausea, and stuck himself to the body of Che Di Mouse just as it was about to collapse.

  "It turned out to be Grandpa Che Di, and we younger ones paid our respects to Grandpa."

  "A swarm of mice, all dressed up and about the size of dwarves, poured out of the mouse hole. They had a good eye for spotting things, as they immediately recognized the thoroughly ruined rat."

  These mice, one by one, with cunning brows and eyes, gathered three words "dirty", "disorderly" and "bad", which perfectly fit them, either too big or crooked, no matter how you look at it, they are not pleasing to the eye.

  With their appearance, a large amount of evil spirit emerged from the mouse hole, like a black cloud coming out of the mountain, shrouding the mountain top.

  On the mountain top, countless caves in the vast black rocks, rustling sounds kept echoing, and mice were emerging from every corner.

  Either as small as a common mouse or as big as an old cat, the "squeak squeak" calls are endless, looking fresh and going towards the largest rat hole.

  There, the groundhog stood up straight with its chest out, its abdomen contracted to show off its well-defined abdominal muscles, looking mighty and majestic.

  The old mice paid their respects and the earth mouse spoke in a soft voice: "Grandfather has been injured, I've come to seek protection from Brother Tongtian."

  "Where's Big Brother He? Grandfather wants him to be our guarantor."

  While speaking, the mouse still had an arrogant expression, its demeanor didn't change at all.

  A majestic mouse with a dignified demeanor stepped forward, its body larger than that of an ordinary robust man. With just one simple stance, it exuded an aura of oppression.

  However, this old mouse with a majestic appearance still showed deference to the thorough earth mouse, bowing low and saying: "Grandfather Thorough Earth, our ancestor is going out for a stroll and won't be in the cave for many days. Why don't you go inside the mansion to rest first?"

  "Alright."

  The mouse waved its hand and said, "Come on, let's get a few people to support Grandpa, he's seriously injured."

  Those hanging mice didn't suspect anything, each thinking it was a rare opportunity to fawn and flatter, swarming up, almost lifting the thorough mouse.

  As for why some people think that Grandpa's body is icy cold and stiff, I don't dare to say, comforting myself that it's just a matter of injury.

  The leading mouse may be the beloved general of the heavenly mouse, without any flattering or fawning meaning, and followed all the way to the depths of the hole.

  A large group of mice, along with the thorough mouse, hid in the shadows of the hole. The leader mouse's voice came out: "Grandpa Thorough is resting inside the house, wait for the old ancestor to come back and I will report to you again."

  "Grandfather, don't be afraid of being lonely. I know it's a thorough grandfather who has come. I'll arrange for the best girl in the family to serve Grandfather. That skin, those whiskers... tsk, tsk, tsk..."

  "Hmm..."

  A strange noise came, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, startling the mice outside who were about to disperse into a flurry of panic and scurrying in all directions.

  "Grandfather, what's wrong?" The voice full of doubt came out from the leader of the mouse gang.

  "Nothing... nothing at all..."

  The voice of the mouse sounded a bit grinding, "You keep the girl for yourself."

  He continued: "Grandfather is a guest, and he still has something to ask of his nephew, so it's not good for him to touch his sore spot."

  The old mouse leader, Yi Qin, continued to persuade: "Grandfather, don't worry, those are just small matters of the heart, not taboo, that skin and hair, tsk tsk tsk."

  The sound of dripping water can be heard clearly even if it is separated by dozens of feet inside and outside the cave.

  "You stay behind yourself!!!"

  The mouse's voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth, and after being stifled for half a day, he added: "Grandfather was seriously injured, that is, not in a good place, so there's no need to serve him."

  "But..."

  The old mouse still wanted to persuade him, but the earth mouse angrily said: "I'm telling you, you can stay behind, there's no need to serve here!"

  “……”
