His eyes narrowed; leaving these bears alive would always be a threat. After a swift and decisive hunt...

She stored the bear carcass and paws into her spatial storage and was about to rest when she noticed several strange flowers blooming in the snow not far away.

That's "Blood Heart Grass," an extremely precious healing herb.

Shen Qingtang was overjoyed and was about to pick the flowers when she discovered that the surrounding flowers and plants were growing in vast stretches, as far as the eye could see. Just as she was excitedly putting them into her spatial storage, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.

The moment she looked up, her pupils contracted sharply as a massive beast stood not far away.

With a head like a lion, a body like a tiger, wings on its back, and a tail like a snake, it is the unique mutated ferocious beast "Bo" of this world!

Before she could react, Bo suddenly opened his huge mouth and let out a deafening roar.

An invisible sound wave instantly sent Shen Qingtang flying. She crashed heavily into a tree trunk, vomiting a mouthful of blood and her vision going black.

This ferocious beast was dozens of times more powerful than a black bear!

Shen Qingtang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her heart filled with surging anger. She had just dealt with the black bear, and now this monster had appeared. It was simply endless!

She immediately drew a sharp black iron sword from her spatial storage, its blade gleaming with a cold light.

Just as he was about to rush forward, he caught sight of the Blood Heart Grass beside him, and without caring about its bitterness, he grabbed a few stalks and stuffed them into his mouth.

The herbs melted in my mouth, and a warm medicinal power instantly spread throughout my body, relieving the pain of the wound somewhat.

"Auntie!"

A soft, sweet voice suddenly came from behind, and Shen Qingtang trembled and turned around to look.

A small figure ran out of the snow—it was Pei Nian'an!

His little face was red from the cold, his lips were purple, and he was only wrapped in a thin cotton coat.

He was still clutching a few small pebbles in his hand, but his eyes were unusually determined.

"Why are you here?!" Shen Qingtang was both surprised and anxious, and rushed over to protect him behind her.

"It's too dangerous here, go back quickly!" She never expected that this child would risk his life to come to find her alone.

Pei Nian'an, however, gripped her clothes tightly, tilted her little face up, and said, "I...I'm worried about Auntie...I want to help Auntie..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the small stone in his hand hard at the barge not far away.

The stones hit the pebbles on the fur like a tickle, causing no harm whatsoever.

Enraged by this action, Bo turned around abruptly and roared at Pei Nian'an, the sound wave causing the surrounding snow to fall in a flurry.

"Watch out!" Shen Qingtang's pupils shrank suddenly. Without thinking, she immediately rushed over and hugged Pei Nian'an.

She used her back to block Bo's attack. Bo's sharp claws grazed her shoulder.

In an instant, a deep, bone-revealing wound was torn open, and blood once again stained her sleeves red.

"Auntie!" Pei Nian'an was so frightened that tears streamed down her face, her little hands tightly gripping her clothes.

Shen Qingtang gritted her teeth, pushed Pei Nian'an behind a big tree, and said in a deep voice, "Stay here and don't move!"

After saying that, she gripped the Xuan Tie sword tightly, turned around and rushed towards Bo again, her eyes filled with determination that she would protect the child's safety even if it cost her her life.

Shen Qingtang gripped the Xuan Tie sword and engaged in fierce combat with Bo. This ferocious beast moved with incredible speed, its wings whipping up a blizzard.

Their claws gleamed coldly, and each strike carried a devastating force.

With her improved martial arts skills and teleportation ability, Shen Qingtang narrowly avoided the attacks time and time again, the sword blade slicing through Bo's fur.

Only shallow bloodstains were left; the beast's hide was simply too thick.

During the struggle, Shen Qingtang slipped and was nearly hit by Bo's tail, staggering backward.
