On the wall, the leader's face was covered by a black mask.

He raised his hand and squinted.

They were determined to win.

"Fire arrows! Leave no one alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless arrows whistled as they hurtled towards the spot where Su Yan and her father stood.

only······.

Suddenly, all that could be heard was a hissing sound.

A black and red object of unknown origin suddenly appeared and surrounded Su Yan and the others.

A tail swept across the sand and stones on the ground.

Dust rose up.

Through the haze, I could vaguely make out what it was.

It is a snake.

A...giant python?

Uncontrollably, everyone felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

I was terrified by this sudden appearance.

The longsword that was shot out struck the snakeskin and fell to the ground with a thud.

The giant python was completely unharmed, swaying its tail back and forth.

It has a triangular, flat head with a scarlet forked tongue.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss?"

Yan Yan, aren't I amazing?

As it spoke, its coiled body gradually stretched out.

Then, Su Yan, Su's father, and Lan Zhi, who were being protected in the very center, stood there.

Don't say it's an enemy.

Even Su's father and Lanzhi were so frightened that their bodies stiffened.

Lan Zhi, in particular, was pale and could only stand there motionless by sheer willpower.

Good heavens, what is this thing?!

Lanzhi helped Su's father.

Su Yan turned around and looked at her father, who was still in shock.

Speak up seriously

"Father, I need your longsword."

Su's father was still bleeding from the wound caused by an arrow.

His face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Upon hearing Su Yan's words, Su's father looked down at the knife in his hand.

Amid the tense atmosphere of the standoff, Su's father burst out laughing.

"Good boy, good boy! Hahahahahaha."

With eyes full of satisfaction, he handed the long sword in his hand to Su Yan.

Su Yan walked out from the protected central position.

She stood in front of Xiao Hong.

Behind her, Little Red bared its teeth and brandished its claws, its black and red body twisting and turning.

Although it only moved its body slightly.

But its thick, long body is truly visually striking.

Boom!

Before I knew it, the sky had darkened.

Looking up at the sky, I saw dark, heavy clouds.

It foreshadows an approaching storm.

The weather changes so fast.

When I woke up in the morning, it was still a sunny day.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered.

Su Yan turned her head.

"Xiao Hong, protect them and retreat into the house, then go and bring Ji Yu here as well."

As she spoke, she glanced up at the top of Xiao Hong's head.

It was less of an instruction to Xiao Hong and more of a message to the Gu King.

King of Gu

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle this sizzle this sizzle".

Hurry up, I'm so sleepy I don't know when I'll fall asleep.

Little Red wagged its tail, its tone reluctant to part.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss?"

How long are you going to sleep?

King of Gu

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle this sizzle this sizzle".

Not necessarily. The Ice Heart Manual has been almost fully digested and seems to be taking shape.

After saying that, the Gu King continued...

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle?"

Fool, hurry up and practice properly. Have you memorized what I taught you to recite?

Little Red nodded her big head.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss

I'll remember, I'll remember.

The Gu King was already used to Xiao Hong's forgetful mind.

I'm too lazy to say anything more.

Clearly, a Gu worm and a poisonous snake were reciting the secret formula together.

In the previous plane, over several decades, the Gu King had memorized the "Ice Heart Manual" and cultivated one-third of it.
