Chapter 13 Meeting Liu Fuyao Again

Every time he encountered danger, it would appear to save him. Perhaps this martial technique's will was not a bad person, otherwise it would not have saved him multiple times.

"Let's put aside the matter of that will for now. It's more important to leave here,"

That's true. Xin Ci looked around. The only path was the cave behind him.

He could only go inside now.

...

In the core area of Linchuan Forest, Liu Fuyao and her group were recovering their spiritual energy at the camp.

A plain-faced young man suddenly appeared.

Liu Fuyao's expression was calm as she asked, "Junior Brother Chen, what's the situation with the Green Scaled Snake?"

"Reporting to Senior Sister Liu, ever since you used your secret technique to wound it last time, this demonic beast has not appeared again."

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Fuyao frowned slightly, clearly displeased.

They had managed to find the Green Scaled Snake's lair earlier and engaged it before it could transform into a dragon.

Who would have thought that even before transforming, this demonic beast's strength was already at the late stage of the Earth realm, and she herself had to use a secret technique to temporarily boost her cultivation to fight it.

Just as she was about to subdue the Green Scaled Snake with the combined efforts of her junior brothers and sisters, it unfortunately managed to escape due to an oversight.

"However, I noticed that the passages in that cave were interconnected and chaotic, and the ground was damp,"

Chen Xin changed the subject.

"Therefore, I infer that there must be an underground pool beneath the cave, and the demonic beast must be hiding in that pool."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fuyao grabbed her long sword and stood up, saying, "Notify the other junior brothers and sisters, pack your belongings, and prepare to head to the underground pool."

"But Senior Sister Liu... your spiritual energy hasn't fully recovered yet..."

"The Green Scaled Snake is not in much better condition than I am. If it successfully transforms into a dragon, we will never have another chance to slay it."

Seeing Liu Fuyao's resolute attitude, Chen Xin dared not object and could only obey the order to go and notify the junior disciples.

"It's getting more and more humid in here."

Xin Ci advanced cautiously in the cave. It had been two hours since he entered.

However, the underground passages were intricate and interconnected, like a tangled ball of yarn, causing immense confusion.

He had been wandering in there for so long and still couldn't find an exit.

Just as Xin Ci was growing weary, a light appeared at a fork in the road ahead.

Hope instantly rekindled in Xin Ci's eyes, and he immediately moved towards it.

The exit grew brighter and brighter, and just as he was about to step out.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from ahead.

Xin Ci became alert, immediately retreated, and pressed his body closer to the cave entrance.

He concealed his aura and cautiously poked his head out to survey the situation.

To his surprise, the outside was not an exit but a vast space.

Furthermore, besides his own tunnel entrance, the surrounding rock walls were also dotted with numerous large and small tunnel openings. Water from underground converged here through these passages, forming an underground pool.

And within this underground pool space, several humans were battling a snake about thirty meters long.

The snake, entirely dark green, was peculiar. There seemed to be protrusions on its brow, and a sharp, straight object on its head.

It looked like a horn, but it was far too short. Faint greenish-white patterns were appearing on its neck.

The strength of this Green Scaled Snake was terrifying; the pressure it exerted was far greater than that of the previously encountered Green Flame Wolf.

It was definitely a Level 3 demonic beast.

No! It might be even higher!

"It's her!"

Xin Ci peered out and recognized the group fighting the Green Scaled Snake.

It was that woman in white from before!

But hadn't they gone to the core area?

Could it be that he had unknowingly entered the core area of Linchuan Forest while in the underground tunnels?

Watching their fierce battle, Xin Ci remained hidden at the tunnel entrance, not venturing out.

A confrontation at the Earth realm level was not something he, a mere Body Refinement realm cultivator, could intervene in.

However, as he watched Liu Fuyao and the others unleash a barrage of dazzling and powerful martial skills upon the Green Scaled Snake, even driving it into the water.

Xin Ci was filled with shock, especially at Liu Fuyao. With a casual sword stroke, she unleashed a rain-like curtain of sword shadows that enveloped the Green Scaled Snake, slicing off countless scales.

"That Green Scaled Snake seems to be losing. Old Han, will that woman in white discover us later?" Xin Ci asked worriedly.

Her soul power was not inferior to his. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

"Don't rush. That Green Scaled Snake is not so easily dealt with."

As Old Han had predicted, the water in the pool suddenly churned.

The Green Scaled Snake burst out of the water, its greenish-white patterns on its neck becoming more pronounced.

"Not good, this Green Scaled Snake is trying to forcibly transform into a dragon! We must stop it quickly."

The disciples from the Four Symbols Academy surged forward, continuously striking it with various martial techniques, attempting to prevent its transformation.

But it was no use. In its half-dragon state, the Green Scaled Snake was already considered a quasi-Level 4 demonic beast.

It spat a ball of dark green mist from its maw, spraying it towards them. A Yellow realm male cultivator, caught off guard by the green mist, had his physical body corroded into a mere skeleton.

Liu Fuyao gritted her teeth fiercely and shouted to her junior disciples behind her, "You all go first! I'll stall the Green Scaled Snake."

"No, Senior Sister Liu, let me stall it."

"Yes, Senior Sister Liu, we can't just abandon you and run."

"Silence! All of you leave! Are you not even listening to your senior sister's orders!"

"If you don't leave now, we will all perish here!"

Liu Fuyao's demeanor was resolute and serious.

"Then Senior Sister Liu, you must be extremely careful."

Hiding in the tunnel entrance, Xin Ci felt a sense of admiration for Liu Fuyao.

To protect her junior disciples, she was willing to single-handedly hold back a half-transformed Green Scaled Snake.

He found this truly remarkable. However, since she had chosen to stay, she must have some means of dealing with the Green Scaled Snake.
