Lin Xiao Tian had no other options now, so he could only go to Black Mountain to find the little white snake, hoping for the best.
Upon arriving at Black Mountain, the little white snake found Lin Xiao Tian as usual. Lin Xiao Tian had checked previous surveillance footage and knew that the little white snake usually started heading out of its den around the time he entered the mountain path leading to Jinsha Village.
With such a powerful sense of smell, if it could help, it would definitely be able to find Xue Zi Yan.
The little white snake excitedly urged Lin Xiao Tian to head deeper into the mountains, as it was impatient to go to the Thunder Pool to cultivate.
But this time, Lin Xiao Tian did not move. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the little white snake very seriously.
As if sensing Lin Xiao Tian's mood, the little white snake, uncharacteristically, did not throw a tantrum.
"Little one, I've encountered a very troublesome matter, and only you can help me," Lin Xiao Tian said, looking down at it.
Sensing the sadness emanating from Lin Xiao Tian, the little white snake immediately became serious.
"I want to rely on your sense of smell to help me find two people."
Upon hearing Lin Xiao Tian's words, the little white snake nodded obediently.
"However, you'll need to leave Black Mountain."
Hearing that it had to leave Black Mountain, the little white snake was clearly scared.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao Tian knew he couldn't force it. Black Mountain had a restriction, and the wild beasts and demonic beasts within the mountain had never voluntarily left. It must be that the restriction had a significant impact.
"Never mind, I was just asking. But I can't accompany you to the Thunder Pool today. I'll come back in a few days," Lin Xiao Tian said, gently stroking the little white snake.
Now, he could only rely on other means. He wondered if the surveillance could find any more crucial information.
After bidding farewell to the little white snake, Lin Xiao Tian made his way down the mountain. He couldn't afford to waste another second.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed the little white snake's whereabouts with his divine sense.
The next moment, the little white snake appeared before Lin Xiao Tian.
It glared at Lin Xiao Tian indignantly, then coiled itself around his waist.
Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback. "I'm leaving Black Mountain, aren't you coming?"
The little white snake stirred, clearly not intending to leave.
"You want to come with me?" Lin Xiao Tian asked, looking down at the little white snake in his arms.
The little white snake nodded.
"Will it be alright?" Lin Xiao Tian was a little worried.
The little white snake paused for a few seconds, then finally nodded.
Lin Xiao Tian wasn't sure if the little white snake was telling the truth, but his intuition told him that leaving the mountain would definitely have an impact on the little white snake.
"Forget it. I know you mean well, but I can't let you risk your life for nothing." Lin Xiao Tian said, then gently placed the little white snake back down.
But the little white snake immediately coiled around him again. Seeing its stubbornness, Lin Xiao Tian finally decided to give it a try.
"Let's be clear beforehand: if there are any problems, remind me immediately, and I'll send you back."
The little white snake nodded obediently.
After leaving Black Mountain, Lin Xiao Tian used his fastest speed to head towards Jiang City.
In the past, to maintain a low profile, Lin Xiao Tian had always traveled by car. But recently, to save time, he had been flying with his spiritual energy. At full power, his speed could approach that of a fighter jet.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao Tian arrived in Jiang City.
Lin Xiao Tian was constantly monitoring the little white snake's condition. After leaving Black Mountain, the little white snake became much quieter. Lin Xiao Tian could feel its body trembling, and even its vitality was rapidly draining.
This shocked Lin Xiao Tian.
No wonder the wild and demonic beasts of Black Mountain dared not leave. So, there was such a restriction!
Lin Xiao Tian dared not delay. He let the little white snake sniff Xue Zi Yan's belongings, and then moved rapidly through Jiang City.
The little white snake was also trying its best to track the scent, and Lin Xiao Tian could feel how weak it had become.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian moved to a certain area in the west of the city, the little white snake showed some reaction.
"Is it here?" Lin Xiao Tian asked, looking down at it.
The little white snake slowly nodded.
Lin Xiao Tian hurriedly extended his divine sense, but found nothing.
The little white snake nestled in Lin Xiao Tian's arms, and at the same time, poked its head out, indicating the direction to Lin Xiao Tian.
There were still quite a few people on the street at this moment. Seeing a white snake's head poking out of Lin Xiao Tian's arms, they crowded around.
Several women in revealing clothing, holding up their phones, blocked Lin Xiao Tian's path.
"Wow! What a cute little snake."
"Handsome guy, can you take out the little white snake? We want to film a short video."
Jiang City was famous for its internet celebrities, and several of the people surrounding Lin Xiao Tian now were influencers with millions of followers.
Lin Xiao Tian ignored them and continued to move in the direction the little white snake indicated.
"Hey! You! If you don't want to, fine, but why the sour face? So rude!"
One of the female influencers became displeased and continuously criticized Lin Xiao Tian from behind.
"He's so rude, and he's carrying a dangerous animal like a snake. What if it bites someone?"
"That's a white snake, clearly a venomous one. We should call the police. No one can guarantee it won't suddenly bite someone nearby."
"He looks suspicious. Maybe he's up to something bad. Everyone be careful."
Lin Xiao Tian's silence made the influencers assume he was scared, and various speculations began to fly.
Seeing that Lin Xiao Tian was still ignoring them, the influencer who had criticized him first actually blocked his path.
"Stop right there. Explain yourself. Where are you taking this venomous snake? Who are you looking for?"
As she spoke, the female influencer pointed her camera at Lin Xiao Tian.
"Guys, look! This is the guy with a venomous snake, and we don't know where he's going. It's too dangerous..."
After the female influencer, more and more people gathered, and some enthusiastic onlookers even blocked Lin Xiao Tian.
Before, it was just one person blocking him, and Lin Xiao Tian didn't care. But now with so many people surrounding him, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't move.
With the camera pointed at him, Lin Xiao Tian dared not easily use his spiritual energy.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Xiao Tian glared at the people around him.
"Why are you so fierce? Aren't you afraid of us? Are you doing something you shouldn't be?" the female influencer said righteously.
"Hey, are you bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Why are you being so aggressive towards a girl? Dare you be aggressive towards us men?"
Several tall, burly men in the crowd stepped forward.
He didn't even understand what was happening here. He just saw so many people pointing at Lin Xiao Tian and assumed Lin Xiao Tian must be up to no good, and even took the initiative to block him.
Lin Xiao Tian cast a disgusted glance at him.
At this moment, the little white snake pointed in a direction, and Lin Xiao Tian hurried towards it.
The burly men immediately blocked Lin Xiao Tian's path.
"Where are you going? Did we say you could leave? Explain yourself clearly!"
The leading big man contemptuously pointed at Lin Xiao Tian's nose.
