Ye Qingyu then ordered the others to leave the cave and set up an ambush, while she timed her attack perfectly and slashed at the deep pool with her sword.

In the deep pool, the slumbering black snake suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils contracted, and it leaped out of the pool. Its cold, vertical pupils stared intently at Ye Qingyu, who was as small as an ant, and it made a chilling hissing sound.

Then, it swooped down. Ye Qingyu's pupils contracted. Without the slightest hesitation, she suddenly turned and rushed out of the cave, the rustling sound of the black snake crawling behind her.

The enormous snake's body left a mark at the cave's exit.
