Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 513 - 511: The Spirit Rabbit Race Dwelling in the Mountains—Don’t Want to Become Braised Rabbit? How a Clever Trick Backfires

"Lu Ye... where are you? Lu Ye?"

A moment later, a slight unease spread in Xiao Qingyin’s heart, and she called out softly.

Unfortunately, her voice carried through the surroundings, without any response.

"Strange, how did he suddenly disappear? Could it be some kind of blinding technique?" Xiao Qingyin pondered.

She felt that this mountain range was indeed peculiar, but the white mist didn’t seem this thick the last time she came here.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingyin quickened her pace slightly.

Then she reached out to feel ahead.

She thought that if it was a blinding technique, at most it would just make her eyes create some kind of illusion that she couldn’t see the front.

But in reality, as long as Lu Ye was still there, she should be able to touch him with an outstretched hand.

However, when Xiao Qingyin actually did so, she found that the front was still a void.

"Nothing? Did I guess wrong? If it’s a blinding technique, it’s quite formidable."

At this moment, Xiao Qingyin was rather calm.

She knew staying in place wouldn’t be of much help.

Perhaps Lu Ye had also discovered this situation; what she needed to do was create a bit of noise if possible or find some flaw in the blinding technique.

At the same time, Lu Ye was attempting the same.

He no longer slowed his pace, utilizing his body technique to speed up, swiftly advancing in one direction...

A moment later, when Lu Ye found the surroundings becoming familiar again, he realized there was indeed a mist array before him.

He had returned to the original spot.

"This is another array..."

Having the information about the array, Lu Ye began using his knowledge of array dao to observe the surroundings.

Meanwhile, in a place Lu Ye couldn’t see, two figures hid behind a big tree, watching something.

These two appeared to be normal humans, but their ears were noticeably different from ordinary people, more like... the Spirit Rabbit Race.

"Second sister, that human seems to have discovered something. Could he really walk out and come to our territory, and then catch us all and... cook us? I don’t want to be cooked!"

The one called second sister was an older rabbit tribe member, who glared at her younger sister upon hearing this.

"You hush! What if they were just passing by, and you suddenly activated our tribe’s outer array? If you really make them angry, I think you won’t just be cooked, you’ll be cooked with extra spice!"

This mountain range was actually the habitat of the Spirit Rabbit Race.

Therefore, a grand array also existed deep within the mountains.

Currently, the maze Lu Ye was trapped in was the outer maze, with no attack power—its sole purpose was to confuse directions.

The cause left the innate realm late-stage rabbit tribe member speechless.

It was merely because another long-eared rabbit tribe member was playing there.

Upon suddenly seeing two humans entering from outside the mountain heading towards what seemed to be their territory.

These two humans gave the long-eared rabbit tribe member an impression as terrifying as their tribe’s elders!

In a sudden panic, they found and activated the hidden array’s emergency switch, directly opening the maze.

When another elder rabbit tribe member rushed over upon hearing this, they blacked out momentarily upon seeing the scene.

How could someone trap others in a maze before they even show hostility?!

"Ah?! I don’t want to be cooked, second sister, perhaps... should we turn off the maze now?" The long-eared rabbit tribe member said, trembling with fear.

The elder rabbit tribe member was about to say something when their expression changed suddenly, whispering, "That human... seems to understand arrays! He’s actually found one of the array eyes."

This kind of advanced maze couldn’t possibly have only one array eye, as that would make it too easy to unravel.

But finding one array eye could significantly weaken its effects.

Sure enough, Lu Ye found himself before a seemingly ordinary rock, which he smashed with one swift move...

Boom!

The rock shattered instantly, and the surroundings, along with the white mist, cleared up significantly.

At this moment, within Lu Ye’s spiritual sense, Xiao Qingyin’s figure reappeared about seventy to eighty meters away, cautiously probing her surroundings.

When Lu Ye glanced over, she was marking a tree.

Seeing this, Lu Ye guessed that she too realized something was off, like an illusion array, which was why she marked the trees.

Noticing changes compared to earlier, Xiao Qingyin swept her gaze to the side...

"Lu Ye?!"

A surge of joy unexpectedly filled her heart. Ignoring her marking, she dashed over quickly.

"I thought you were gone."

"This seems to be a maze; I just happened to break through one of its array eyes, which weakened its effect significantly, so its concealment isn’t as strong anymore." Lu Ye nodded, explaining.

"So it really is a maze, I felt something was off when you suddenly disappeared." Xiao Qingyin’s expression turned a bit stern upon hearing this.

"It’s fine, I’ve identified some patterns of this array, just need some time." Lu Ye shook his head, about to head to the next location.

When suddenly a slightly anxious voice came from the side...

"Hero, please wait!"

At the same time, the surrounding white mist quickly retreated into the mountains behind.

The feeling of an insurmountable haze completely vanished.

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Ye slightly raised an eyebrow, having felt all along that someone was watching him.

Turns out, there really was.

Xiao Qingyin was visibly surprised, her eyes widening slightly when she saw two figures clearly not normal humans standing on the road ahead.

"Rabbit tribe?!"

The elder rabbit tribe member approached with the long-eared rabbit member, expressing their apology, "Sorry, fellow travelers, for the trouble we caused..."

"However, we truly meant no harm. This is merely a mist trapping array, our tribe’s outer defensive formation. My younger sister here is timid and was playing outside."

"Seeing you enter the mountain scared her into activating the maze, causing you inconvenience, and for that, we sincerely apologize."

The young long-eared rabbit member bowed their head in shame, knowing a punishment awaited upon returning to the tribe.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye pondered for a moment.

His senses are quite sharp, allowing him to detect malintent should there be any.

From these two rabbit tribe members, he indeed sensed no malice.
