Chapter 9 Danger in the Back Mountain

"Don't ask anymore, just listen to me!"

"Oh, okay." Seeing his serious expression, Yu Qianling could only nod.

For the past few days, Ye Luo has been either drawing talismans or studying formations. Seeing him like this, Yu Qianling took him directly to the training ground.

"You can't stay cooped up like this forever. Come out for some fresh air and watch how I crush these noobs!"

"Third Senior Sister, come and try out my newly made puppet!" Cen Feng, having just finished a match with someone else, confidently challenged Yu Qianling.

In no time, Yu Qianling's unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the training ground, and Cen Feng's puppet was completely destroyed by her.

"Hahaha! Your lousy puppet is no good. Its mobility is too poor, and its defense is also weak!"

Ye Luo looked at the puppet's mangled limbs scattered all over the ground, they were practically torn to pieces...

Is this woman... really that violent?

Cen Feng looked aggrieved. "Third Senior Sister! I just wanted you to test me, why did you go so far! This cost me so many spirit stones!"

"Uh... I'll definitely do it next time!" Yu Qianling put away the spear in his hand. "I need to take care of something, I'll be going now!"

Cen Feng watched her retreating figure and muttered under his breath, "She's quick on her feet, but she probably just doesn't want to give me spirit stones, right?"

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Cen Feng spotted Feng Yue and quietly headed towards the back mountain, calling out, "Fourth Senior Brother, where are you going?!"

"Go, go hunting in the back mountains." Feng Yue was still dressed in all black, his entire body completely covered from the light.

Ye Luo was feeling really down when she ran towards him, "Wait for me, I'm coming too!"

"Ah? You'd better not go... the back mountain is dangerous."

Ye Luo: "Then we definitely have to go!"

Cen Feng collected the puppet fragments from the ground into his storage bag and chuckled, "Come on, let's go play together!"

Deep in the back mountains.

The valley was deep and quiet, and the forest was dense. The three of them wandered in the forest for more than an hour, but still found nothing.

"Fourth Senior Brother, didn't you say this place had the most prey? How come we haven't seen a single pheasant feather?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Feng Yue's dark eyes. "It is a bit strange..."

There used to be plenty of wild game here, and it was easy to hunt several animals. Now, the forest is unusually quiet; it seems that you can't even hear the birds chirping.

"Looks like we won't be getting any meat today?" Ye Luo said dejectedly. She had been so excited just moments before, saying she'd have a barbecue party if they hunted something good…

"Something's not right here, let's get out of here quickly." After saying that, Feng Yue pushed the two of them and walked quickly towards the edge of the forest.

Cen Feng: "Fourth Senior Brother, you mean there are demonic beasts?"

"It should be."

As soon as Feng Yue finished speaking, a chilling and oppressive aura swept over them, making the three of them feel their hair stand on end.

"Let's go!" Feng Yue pulled Ye Luo onto the flying sword, and the three of them quickly fled out of the forest.

Ye Luo gripped Feng Yue's sleeve tightly and nervously looked back, only to see a few flashes of silver light, unable to make out what they were.

Wow, so fast!

The three of them flew on their swords for a long time, but the thing behind them still followed them like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing them.

Feng Yue's dark eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "Fifth Junior Brother, take Junior Brother and leave!"

Ye Luo felt a sudden lightness in her body as she was flung towards Cen Feng, who then used his magical artifact to shield himself.

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

Then came a fierce battle. Sword light flashed in the dark forest, and huge trees were snapped in half and fell down with a rumble.

At this moment, Cen Feng's face was gloomy as he desperately flew forward on his sword, while Ye Luo looked back with worry.

"Junior brother, hurry up and go find Master and the others!" Cen Feng looked back, placed Ye Luo on a large tree, and quickly returned.

"Fifth Senior Brother!" Ye Luo watched the disappearing figure, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

He's too weak.

In that case... what gives him the right to challenge the female lead?

Not to mention how to save them.

Ye Luo clenched his fists and rushed back to his sect for help, weaving through the dense jungle.

On the other end.

Cen Feng flew back on his sword to provide support and found Feng Yue unharmed. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Fourth Senior Brother, where is that thing?"

"I don't know...it seems they ran away."

After several rounds of fighting, Feng Yue discovered that the creature wasn't interested in continuing the battle; it just kept chasing forward...

"Where is my junior brother?"

"I was afraid something might happen to you, so I let him leave first."

Suddenly, Feng Yue seemed to realize something, "Oh no, its target might be Junior Brother!"

The two were shocked and immediately activated their flying swords, chasing after the pursuer.

Ye Luo was filled with thoughts as he looked at the light not far ahead. "Damn, we're finally getting out of the woods!" Suddenly, a familiar sense of oppression came from behind, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

Holy crap! It actually caught up with us!

Ye Luo desperately urged the flying leaf, but the thing was extremely fast. He felt his waist tighten and he was tightly bound by something.

He looked down sharply and saw that it was a silver tail.

A powerful force pulled him over, and in his terror, Ye Luo's face turned deathly pale as he met a pair of enormous golden beast eyes.

It was actually a huge snake with its entire body shimmering with silver light!

"Ahhhh—"

"Brother Snake, please don't eat me!"

"Look how skinny I am, it'll be hard for you to chew on!"

Ye Luo kicked and struggled in fear. Seeing this, the giant snake's eyes narrowed, and it wrapped its arms around him twice more, completely immobilizing him.

Tears welled up in Ye Luo's eyes. He never expected to be devoured by a snake. He closed his eyes in despair.

Suddenly, something warm and soft licked his chin, making him feel a little itchy and slightly nauseous.

Ye Luo suddenly opened her eyes and said angrily, "Do you need to wash up before meals? If you want to eat, then hurry up and eat!"

The silver snake seemed not to hear him, continuing to lick his cheek, then extending down to the back of his neck...

Startled, Ye Luo trembled all over and roared, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated..."
