Yue Jiuling was initially quite pleased to see the old man's kindness and was about to explain that she was a tourist visiting the area. However, when she looked at the old man seriously, she suddenly became serious.

And Ya Zi was the same; he had already sensed something was wrong when the old man shouted at them.

"Sir, are you a local? Is there anything fun to do in these mountains? We're tourists and would like to go in and have some fun."

Suddenly, Ya Zi walked up to Yue Jiuling, shielded her behind him, and politely asked the old man a question.

Suddenly, Yue Jiuling was blocked behind Ya Zi, and she realized that Ya Zi had also noticed that something was wrong with the old man. However, she didn't say anything, but just looked at the old man with the same curiosity as Ya Zi, waiting for the old man's answer.

"Oh dear, these mountains are dangerous! You young people don't know, there are wild animals in there, and they eat people. It's terrifying!"

The old man, looking terrified, pointed in the direction of the deep mountains to frighten the two 'young men'.

Upon hearing the old man's advice, the 'young girl' Yue Jiuling immediately seemed frightened and shrank behind Ya Zi. She tugged at Ya Zi's clothes, feigning fear, and said, "Did you hear that? The old man said it's dangerous inside!"

"Hehe~ Is that so?" Ya Zi burst out laughing upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words. He turned to the old man and said, "You said the deep mountains are scary, but with our old man here, are you scary?!"

As soon as Ya Zi finished speaking, he immediately opened his right hand, turning it into a claw, and pounced on the old man: "Stop pretending! You're an old monster, why are you pretending to be human? We're not human, do you think you can fool us?"

When Ya Zi lunged to attack the old man, Yue Jiuling stood still, as if she had already guessed that Ya Zi would do this.

That's right, the reason Yazi did that and attacked the old man was because the old man wasn't human at all!

"Hehe~ I didn't expect you two to be much smarter than them. Those idiots from before didn't figure me out so quickly~"

When the old man saw that Ya Zi was attacking him, he stopped pretending. He raised his arm and transformed in front of Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi into a super huge centipede!

"Tsk~ Ryuji, be careful, it's so ugly, I'm not going up there, it disgusts me~"

When she saw the giant centipede finally appear, Yue Jiuling decided not to go up and help Ya Zi fight the monster. She thought the giant centipede was disgusting. Its body was so long, smelly, and ugly, and it had so many legs. Just looking at it made her feel disgusted!

Seeing that Ya Zi and the giant centipede were locked in a fierce battle, Yue Jiuling silently took a few steps back, distancing herself from the two of them.

Actually, this is what she was thinking: since Ya Zi is so powerful, it's not like he can't beat this giant centipede, so it doesn't matter whether she goes up or not. So she simply let Ya Zi go up and fight it by himself, while she can take the opportunity to slack off. At worst, she can treat Ya Zi to a meal later to make up for it.

"Okay, you have to treat me to something delicious after this is all over~"

Seeing Yue Jiuling slacking off, Ya Zi didn't blame her; in fact, he indulged her. He had already figured out Yue Jiuling's personality and knew she didn't like associating with these creatures. So, Ya Zi had no choice but to fight it out by himself. What could he do? He was just so happy to spoil Yue Jiuling.

The reason those who encountered the giant centipede demon before were injured was because their cultivation levels were too low. But this time it's different, because the giant centipede is being attacked by two great demons, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi. The giant centipede has at most a few thousand years of cultivation, but compared to Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling, it's still far inferior.

Therefore, the low-level centipede was beaten up by Ya Zi after only a few dozen moves with him, and was even stomped to the ground and unable to move.

Moreover, it was lying on the ground in its original form, being trampled on, looking extremely pathetic. Even its proud legs had several broken pieces, scattered on the ground, a truly pitiful sight.
