"Pah, so vain!" Pei Mianman spat with a blush on her face, but she was still quite impressed. This guy seemed to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude at any time, and he could also infect the people around him, giving them a sense of security.

However, the two soon ran out of energy to talk, as the number of strange snakes on the way back increased to the point that it was impossible to find a place to step.

At first, things were fine. Pei Mianman could use black flames, and the strange snakes were somewhat wary of the flames and dared not get too close.

However, Pei Mianman was seriously injured and could not maintain the black flame continuously. She could only ignite it once after resting for a long time.

Zaun could only wield his longsword to clear away the strange snakes along the way. Fortunately, his "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" did not consume much energy, and his straightforward fighting style was well-suited to the current situation where there were enemies everywhere.

However, his "Sunflower Illusion" movement technique was useless. The main purpose of this movement technique was to dodge enemies, but now there were strange snakes everywhere, so dodging was out of the question.

Looking at the densely packed strange snakes on the ground, Zu An could only use the bones as leverage to move around. However, he was almost bitten by the strange snakes hidden in the bones several times. If it weren't for his quick reaction and Pei Mianman's black flames that saved him several times, he would have died on the spot.

Left with no other choice, Zaun invented another method: he could jump directly onto the wall next to him. Although the wall was smooth and difficult to use for leverage, he could use the Tai'a sword and the Death Knife to stab into it in turn.

No matter how hard the wall is, it is no match for the Tai'a sword that can cut through iron like mud and the dagger that will surely kill.

Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and patted Pei Mianman, who was hanging in his arms, saying, "Now we don't have to be as dangerous as we are down there."

He planned to take turns sticking the two swords in his hair and slowly walk back to where he had fallen from.

Pei Mianman hummed in agreement, her face slightly flushed. Now, with her arms wrapped around the man's neck, she was pressed tightly against his chest, and they could feel the warmth of each other's skin through their clothes. Even though she was usually very bold, she felt a little shy and embarrassed now.

Zuan was also feeling unwell. Smelling the delicate fragrance of the beauty in his arms and feeling the magnificent softness of her breasts, he felt a surge of heat throughout his body. The enormous pit, which had initially seemed fraught with danger, no longer felt so unpleasant...

Just then, he suddenly felt the beauty in his arms slowly sliding down. He was startled and quickly let go of one hand to support her thigh: "Manman, don't let go! It will be troublesome if you fall."

Now, the strange snakes are gathered below the two of them, each with its neck raised, staring straight at them with its single vertical eye, hissing and flicking its tongue, looking extremely creepy.

Pei Mianman bit her lip, feeling embarrassed: "I feel weak all over and can't hold on very well."

Where are these guys putting their hands?!

However, she knew that the other person was trying to save her, so she didn't say anything.

“Then wrap your legs around my waist, that way you’ll hang more steadily,” Zu’an said as he lifted her legs and placed them on his waist.

"I don't want to!" Pei Mianman hurriedly refused. Even though she was a young girl who had never experienced such things, she knew that this position was quite indecent and she couldn't stand it.

Zuan was also covered in sweat: "Big sister, it's not that I'm trying to take advantage of you. I have to stick both hands into the wall to move forward. If I hold you with one hand, I'll just be stuck in place."

Pei Mianman looked up and could see the veins bulging on his arm as he gripped the longsword, clearly bearing a considerable weight. She wasn't one to be coy, and although she felt a little embarrassed, she agreed considering the current situation: "Alright then, but you mustn't tell Chu Yan about this, no, you mustn't tell anyone."

Zuan was speechless: "Why would I tell her something like this?"

Pei Mianman finally breathed a sigh of relief, biting her red lips, hooking her arms around his neck, and trying to lift her legs up to wrap around his waist, hanging in his arms like a sloth.

Feeling the other's masculine aura, and with their bodies now in close contact, Pei Mianman, who was usually fiery and loved to joke, became a little shy. She buried her head in his chest, her body trembling slightly, and dared not say another word.

Even though Zu An originally had no evil intentions, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart when he saw how sensitive her body was.

However, the hissing sound of the strange snakes flicking their tongues around him pulled him back to reality, realizing that the danger was not over yet.

He hurriedly freed one hand, gripping the doomed dagger, and was about to move forward when suddenly several beams of blue light shot over.

His hair stood on end, and he quickly raised his knife to knock down the blue lights. He had already realized that what was shooting at him were those strange snakes.

The strange snakes on the ground first coiled up, then suddenly sprang out and flew directly towards the two people in mid-air.

As Zuan parried with his dagger, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't managed to stab the wall with his sword before leaving. Otherwise, with both his hands stuck in the wall, he would have been powerless to retaliate.

Moreover, being in mid-air now, there are far fewer strange snakes shooting up than on the ground, so he can barely handle them.

Unfortunately, he couldn't feel happy at all. Now that he was entangled by these strange snakes, he could only defend himself and couldn't move at all.

Pei Mianman noticed his predicament and hurriedly said, "Give me some time. Once I've recovered a bit, I'll use the Black Flame to help you, and then you can take the opportunity to advance."

"Alright!" Now that things had come to this, the two of them had to work together. Zuan focused intently on hacking at the strange snakes that were launched at him.

After about five minutes, Pei Mianman finally spoke: "I can barely use the black flames now, but I can only maintain it for about three breaths. Hurry up and move forward as quickly as possible, and make sure to enter defensive mode as soon as the time is up."
