Meng Wanwan caught Meng Xiuyi who flew over, and then looked at Shangguan Liuyue with surprise.

Who's here?

Lan Qiao pushed Meng Wanwan behind him, staring intently at the pool, his hair standing on end.

Helian Xiao couldn't help but squeeze in at this moment: "I feel... I don't feel well."

It looks like something is about to come out.

But what could possibly be in such a small pool?

The next second, he found out.

The red beads seemed to flee from the lava pool, trying to fly out of the cave and soaring upwards.

However, a huge tail emerged right behind it, chasing the red bead and soaring into the sky.

Meng Wanwan was stunned.

"My goodness, such a long tail..."

Its tail is a full thirty meters long, and it is emerald green with scales that shimmer with a dark green light.

With a flick of its tail in mid-air, several green gas clouds hurtled outwards.

The stunned people began to flee once again.

Shangguan Liuyue also retreated to Meng Wanwan's side, frowning as she looked at the thing that had suddenly appeared.

"What is this thing?" Helian Xiao asked in shock.

However, nobody knows.

The red bead was caught by the tail and shook wildly.

Its trembling caused its large tail to sway in the pool, and the water surged and splashed outwards once again.

Everyone...

If they weren't trapped in this place, they would have run away long ago.

Is it going to be endless watering?

Shangguan Liuyue immediately set up a defensive array and said in a deep voice, "The aura of this thing is very similar to that of the Lianli Corpse just now, but it is much stronger than that thing."

Even he would probably find it difficult to defeat.

Forget it, I'd better hide first.

The red bead ultimately couldn't escape and was swept into the lava pool by the giant tail.

Granny Han had gone mad: "No, no, no! We sacrificed so many people, even killed the eldest daughter of the direct line, all for this thing! We can't, we can't..."

Granny Han jumped directly into the lava pool, attempting to search for this thing.

If she can't find her way back, the Han family won't let her go.

Chi Yun, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and was immediately stunned to see Granny Han jump into the water.

"Granny Han, no..."

She's dead. Who will fulfill the promises the Han family made?!

Meng Xiuyi: "Find an exit quickly and get out of here. This thing will probably come out soon."

He felt an indescribable emotion that compelled him to leave.

I don't know why.

Shangguan Liuyue stepped forward, closed her eyes, and let the array beneath her feet spread throughout the entire space.

Meng Wanwan and the others also began to observe how to get out of this place.

"Could the exit be at the bottom of the pool?" Meng Wanwan thought mischievously. If so, this joke would be really outrageous.

Just then, a roar like that of a ferocious beast came from the pool, and something suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water.

The pool water hangs over it like waterfalls, flowing downwards.

People covered their faces to avoid getting scalded by the pool water.

When they looked up again, everyone was stunned.

A monster with a human body and a snake tail, tens of meters tall, stood in the pool. Its head was so high that it almost reached the top of the cave.

Even stranger, this thing, although it only had one snake tail, had two bodies. It resembled a man and a woman, with their upper bodies back to back, screaming wildly at everyone present.

Suddenly, the woman turned halfway up her body towards Meng Wanwan and the others.

"Run!" Shangguan Liuyue shouted quickly, and the group ran away immediately.

The female half-body, along with the male half-body, swooped down, its enormous mouth agape, ready to tear at you.

Wherever the long hair made of molten lava swept, a black mist followed.

Its speed was so fast that the enormous impact sent the group flying and slamming them against the cave wall.

Meng Wanwan felt as if her veins were being torn apart from the shock, and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Although she felt physically and mentally relieved, she felt that if she continued to vomit like this, she would become anemic.

Meng Xiuyi didn't dare to delay, so she picked up Meng Wanwan and ran.

The woman's upper body swooped down again.

Shangguan Liuyue flicked out a talisman with her right hand, which directly struck the woman's half-body, causing her to scream and retreat.

The man was dragged up to his waist and slammed onto the spot where Meng Wanwan and the others had just fallen.

There were not many people left in the mirage. They were trembling and motionless in a relatively safe place.

The Shangguan family members were with them.

They didn't know if they could win, and even if they did, they wouldn't gain anything. Therefore, they chose not to intervene if possible.

They have suffered too many losses and do not want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Moreover, they realized that the giant monster was chasing the Meng family, so why should they get involved? The best course of action would be to devour them all.

However, he was disappointed.

The man lying on the ground, with the red bead in his mouth, suddenly hissed.

"Wrong... wrong..."

Although its sound was broken, it was still clear.

The female half-body, which was still attacking with its claws outstretched, suddenly stopped.

To Meng Wanwan's shock, a sliver of light gradually returned to the two people's pale eyes.

The man spat out the red bead, held it in his hand, and kept saying, "Wrong...wrong..."

The woman crawled over halfway, seemingly sniffed the bead, then clutched her head and screamed.

The deafening screams nearly deafened everyone present.

By this time, Meng Wanwan and the others had moved to a relatively safe place.

Helian Xiao asked gossipily, "What's wrong? Huh?"

Shangguan Liuyue said, "The Soul Refining Pearl is wrong; they are looking for their own Soul Refining Pearl."

Soul Refining Bead?

Meng Wanwan asked, "Uncle, what is a Soul Refining Bead?"

Shangguan Liuyue said, "The Soul Refining Bead is a treasure that has a chance of appearing during the tribulation of lightning, when the soul and body are being tempered. This bead condenses the power of tempering and can temper the soul and body of ordinary people. However, it only tempers. But if the person undergoing the tribulation has their soul scattered during the tribulation, and a Soul Refining Bead happens to appear, then the Soul Refining Bead can absorb their soul fragments. Such a Soul Refining Bead can be considered a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, but the probability of this is extremely small. It might not appear even once every ten million years. But once it does appear, this thing has the root of life..."

Everyone suddenly woke up.

Shangguan Liuyue's words caught in her throat.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Meng Xiuyi laughed: "Could this be the method the Han family found... that allows spiritual roots to appear out of thin air?"

Shangguan Liuyue also turned her gaze to the lava pool.

"The creation of the Conjoined Corpses... was it all for this?"

The stone statues covering the mountains and the blood-soaked corpses.

Was it all just to create a conjoined corpse?

Just to give one person a spiritual root?

"Wrong!" The roar immediately echoed throughout the cave.

Some of the loose rocks on the cave walls couldn't hold up and started to fall down.
