Everyone's expression changed!
In the darkness!
A pair of glowing green eyes, devoid of any emotion, stared intently at them!
On the ground!
On the rocks!
And on the trees!
Looking around, there were at least several hundred of them!
As they approached silently, everyone clearly saw their appearance!
They were none other than weasels!
Their eyes glinted with coldness, sending chills down their spines!
They made everyone feel an immense pressure!
Although they had two hunting rifles and six repeating crossbows!
Facing hundreds of weasels was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"Miss Fan, this is all because of you. If your drone hadn't malfunctioned and injured an immortal being, we wouldn't be facing retaliation from its kin!" Xie Qiang said with a grave expression. He put down his pipe and slowly raised his hands above his head!
Then he looked at the weasels in front of him and said nervously, "Esteemed immortals, they didn't know the rules of the mountain, which is why they harmed some mountain birds and beasts. I beg you, for their ignorance, to spare their lives!"
"Please allow me to apologize for what just happened!"
"The drone explosion just now was an accident, and they didn't intend to harm any immortal beings!"
All things have spirits, especially weasels!
In folklore, they are known as Huang Daxian, and they are adept at human speech!
This is precisely why Xie Qiang spoke to explain!
It must be said, this fellow was quite intelligent!
What he said just now seemed to be for the sake of Fan Ruyan and the others, but by repeatedly referring to "them," he was already trying to distance himself from Fan Ruyan and the others!
Thus, he aimed to avoid the weasels' attack!
However!
This pack of weasels was clearly not so easily fooled!
Their eyes glinted coldly, and they paid no heed to Xie Qiang's words!
In their eyes, these humans were all one group!
Chen Nan sighed inwardly upon seeing this!
He left a clone of himself and went to the vicinity of where the drone had exploded!
From a distance, he saw the injured weasel lying weakly on the ground, with several wounds on its abdomen, bleeding profusely, a shocking sight!
Chen Nan's appearance caused the weasel to show a look of apprehension!
It seemed surprised that this fellow was also an immortal!
However, upon recalling Chen Nan's words about moderation, it felt relieved!
Anyone who could say such things was not inherently bad!
Chen Nan took out a Spirit Flood Dragon Pill and placed it in its mouth: "We have met by fate, and today I shall grant you a great fortune!"
The Spirit Flood Dragon Pill was refined from the blood and flesh of the flood dragon on Mount Kunlun. Even an ordinary person could undergo a complete transformation after taking it. Giving it to this weasel was an act of establishing good karma!
The next moment, a faint yellow light emanated from the weasel's body, and its wounds healed at a visible speed!
The weasel's eyes were filled with shock!
It had never expected that the pill Chen Nan gave it would have such miraculous effects!
Chen Nan said softly, "I'll have Fan Ruyan kneel and apologize. Will you spare their lives?"
The weasel hesitated for a moment, then nodded!
Swish!
Chen Nan disappeared from the weasel's sight and returned to the campsite!
Although he didn't like Fan Ruyan and the others!
They were, after all, of the same kin!
He said in a low voice, "Fan Ruyan, everything that happened today was caused by your gluttony. You must kowtow and apologize to the esteemed immortals, otherwise, we will all die here!"
"What? You want me to apologize to a group of animals? Impossible! I would rather die than kowtow to them!" Fan Ruyan was furious. As the eldest daughter of the Fan family, a prominent family in Ice City, she had always felt superior!
Normally, people bowed and paid respects to her. Making her kneel before a pack of weasels was tantamount to slapping her in the face!
Squeak squeak!
Fan Ruyan's words caused the weasels to snarl and cry out!
Some of the weasels even jumped onto the five vehicles!
Their eyes were fierce, and their presence was intimidating!
"Do you see? You've angered them. If you don't apologize to them, we won't be able to leave the Greater Khingan Range alive!" Chen Nan said in a low voice!
Xie Qiang also added, "Miss Fan, do you really want everyone to die with you?"
"This all started because of me, and it has nothing to do with Sister Ruyan. I will kneel and apologize!"
It must be said, Wang Ming was truly a sycophant!
Even at this point, he was still trying to save Fan Ruyan's face, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground!
However, the weasels completely ignored him!
One weasel even landed in front of Wang Ming, lifted its tail, and let out an incredibly foul fart, making Wang Ming's eyes water!
Tears streaming down his face, he coughed and gagged!
Chen Nan struggled to suppress his laughter and said, "Such words can only deceive a three-year-old child, how could they possibly fool these esteemed immortals?"
The others also pinched their noses!
Although they knew that weasel farts were smelly, they never expected them to be this foul!
The stench seemed to pierce their souls, making them feel dizzy!
Seeing the snarling weasels approaching, the subordinates brought by Wang Ming panicked!
They all spoke up, "Miss Fan, why don't you just apologize!"
"Yes, if the green hills remain, there will be no lack of firewood. There's no need for all of us to perish here!"
"I don't think it's shameful to apologize to these esteemed immortals!"
"Don't worry, we'll forget what happened today once we leave!"
"Damn it!"
Fan Ruyan's face was ashen!
She hadn't expected things to be so troublesome!
Nor had she expected these weasels to be so human-like!
If she had known, she wouldn't have tried to kill that weasel earlier!
Although her pride was important!
At the critical moment of life and death, she still wanted to live!
Thinking of this, she abandoned her last shred of dignity and, with a thud, knelt on the ground, suppressing the humiliation in her heart: "What happened today was my fault. I hope you can spare our lives!"
"Squeak squeak!"
A faint cry came from afar!
The next moment, the weasels gathered around dispersed in a flash, quickly vanishing into the night!
If not for the lingering smell of weasel farts in the air, no one would have believed they had been surrounded by hundreds of weasels just moments ago!
"All things have spirits. I hope you will not kill innocent creatures again, or you may not be so lucky this time!" Chen Nan lit a cigarette casually!
Fortunately, that weasel was magnanimous. If it had been determined to kill Fan Ruyan!
He would definitely not have saved her!
After all, she deserved it!
Fan Ruyan's face was grim!
She had lived for so many years, and this was the first time she had lost so much face!
Kneeling before a pack of weasels was already unbearable!
Furthermore, Chen Nan had reprimanded her in front of everyone!
This was no different from a resounding slap to her face!
Enraged, she returned to her tent, took out her phone, and sent a text message: "Dad, I was bullied by a pack of weasels in the Greater Khingan Range. Send some powerful members of the family over. I want to capture all those damned weasels!"
