Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Calling the Name

The relationship between Bai Xiaomiao and Wen Wen seemed to differ from the usual master-servant dynamic, but Bai Xiaobai didn’t think much of it. Instead, he grabbed Bai Xiaomiao’s arm and affectionately cuddled against her.

Both of them were rabbit demons, naturally close to each other.

Bai Xiaomiao’s lips twitched as she took a bite of a carrot to ease the awkwardness. But as soon as she did, her eyes lit up; the carrot tasted like steak!

Seeing Bai Xiaomiao’s expression, Wen Wen eyed Bai Xiaobai with a mischievous glint, planning to snatch all her carrots once they parted ways.

Next, Bai Xiaobai began describing the predicament he encountered, and Wen Wen patiently listened since he had volunteered to play the role of a guardian, at least until the end.

Wearing Yan Xiu’s mask allowed him to see the filth that accompanied humans or monsters. This little rabbit demon was far cleaner than most humans, likely having never harmed anyone.

The Qingqin Prairie refers to the grasslands near Qingqin Lake, which isn’t very large.

The people there hold a primitive veneration for rabbits, and over time, a Rabbit Village emerged on the Qingqin Prairie.

This Rabbit Village is isolated from where ordinary people live, and locals are unaware of this demon spirit settlement.

However, every year the locals offer large amounts of carrots to the rabbits, so the Rabbit Village is quite favorable toward some local tribes.

They thus offer a degree of protection, making Qingqin Prairie’s pastures more lush, livestock grow faster and healthier, and the rabbit demons deal with small monsters as needed.

Looking at the rabbit demon, Wen Wen suddenly thought of something. The area around the mask’s eyes constantly emitted black and white ripples, and he sharpened his perception of Bai Xiaobai, discovering a trace of spirit light.

It turned out Bai Xiaobai was different from Bai Xiaomiao, not purely a demon spirit. Her core contained a trait of the power of faith, likely stemming from the primitive beliefs of tribes near Qingqin Prairie, birthing a creature akin to a faith spirit.

This was why they got along so well with the tribes of the Qingqin Prairie, without a trace of malice on them.

As they were speaking, Bai Xiaobai’s expression grew somber.

The undead calamity of Qing Ridge Plateau erupted, and Qingqin Prairie was not spared.

The undead rapidly annihilated more than half of the Qingqin Prairie’s tribes, leaving just a few survivors, who were taken into close proximity with the Rabbit Village by the rabbit demons.

Outside the Rabbit Village was a barrier isolating the exterior, so everything initially remained intact.

Gradually, however, things began to go awry; people frequently disappeared from the village, even those with supernatural power found themselves mysteriously leaving at night, never to return.

Under the leadership of the Upper Sequence village head Bai Xiaoman, they identified the cause of the incidents.

Each disappeared person had heard someone calling their name before vanishing!

Originally, Wen Wen was yawning from boredom, but upon hearing the words ’calling names,’ his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately sat beside Bai Xiaobai, asking, "You said they heard voices calling their names before the incidents?"

Bai Xiaobai was startled again, edging closer to Bai Xiaomiao and continuing, "Yes, it’s said to be a man’s voice."

"People who heard the voice, within days, would inexplicably walk out of the safe village at night, never to return."

"Even tying them up doesn’t work, it only results in them mysteriously disappearing without a trace."

Wen Wen lay on the grass, quickly contemplating.

Originally, he just wanted to hear what Bai Xiaobai had to say, without any intention to help.

With so many in Qingji Province unable to help themselves, Wen Wen wouldn’t abandon his purpose here to specifically save a non-human settlement.

However, if there’s a monster calling names there, the situation changes.

Because it’s very likely the person Wen Wen was looking for is near that village!

Moreover, the people in the Rabbit Village who heard the calling all mysteriously vanished one night, could Wen Wen meet the same fate one day?

Could the ability not have affected Wen Wen simply because he was too powerful?

Regardless, Wen Wen was determined to visit the Rabbit Village.

Bai Xiaobai didn’t notice Wen Wen’s change and continued sharing the information he knew.

If this continues, the rabbit demons and ordinary people in the village might all perish, so the Upper Sequence village head Bai Xiaoman secretly followed those leaving at night to find out who’s plotting against the village path.

But after that night, Bai Xiaoman never returned to the Rabbit Village, plunging the village into panic, as no one else dared to pursue and explore further.

Without the Upper Sequence village head, only Bai Xiaoxi, Bai Xiaolan, Bai Xiaofei, and Bai Xiaomei, four disaster-level rabbits, were left in the village, barely maintaining its operation.

If no more strong protectors come to guard the village, it will face annihilation.

Originally, Bai Xiaobai came seeking help from the Ming Dynasty Esoteric Buddhism, but they too are unable to assist Rabbit Village.

Seeing Bai Xiaomiao riding the Burrow Beast, Bai Xiaobai regarded her as the hope to save the village.

Bai Xiaomiao was a rabbit demon, and her mount was on the same level as the four great masters of the village, with even more unfathomable guarding power.

As long as Bai Xiaomiao was willing to help, the crisis threatening them might be resolved.

After finishing his story, Bai Xiaobai looked at Bai Xiaomiao with tear-filled eyes, "Sister Mi, I’ve told you everything, could you help us?"

If Bai Xiaomiao refused to help, Bai Xiaobai wouldn’t force her; these naive rabbits wouldn’t resort to moral coercion.

But they might continue seeking help until they perish on this quest.

Bai Xiaomiao thought Wen Wen wouldn’t agree, just as she was about to decline, she heard Wen Wen’s voice through the Sanctuary’s transmission, so she grasped Bai Xiaobai’s hand and said, "We’ll help you."

Bai Xiaobai was overjoyed, crying so much that bubbles formed around his nose.

Suddenly, Wen Wen said in a deep voice, "However, this assistance comes at a price, you need to give something in return."

Bai Xiaobai paused, then shyly asked, "We have no money..."

Wen Wen snorted coldly, "I want carrots!"

Bai Xiaobai: "..."

The Qingqin Prairie wasn’t close to Wen Wen’s location, requiring about two days to travel at the Burrow Beast’s speed.

And the nighttime of the Dim Domain is dangerous, with a higher likelihood of monster attacks than during the day, making normal travel difficult.

If Wen Wen were alone, no monsters would dare provoke him, and he could enter the Sanctuary. But with Bai Xiaobai as a burden, the risk of monster attacks increased significantly, making it necessary to find a place for temporary refuge.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaobai was fairly familiar with the surroundings, providing Wen Wen with a decent temporary lodging location.

The place was Gan Zhe Temple.
