Everyone was secretly astonished. Even a group of them would have a hard time dealing with just one level nine python, let alone two!

"That person was able to deal with two level-nine giant pythons by himself, it must be because she or he has a divine artifact."

The mention of the divine artifact sent a jolt through everyone's hearts, and they all wondered who possessed it. Anyone who could train in the Immortal Peak Mountains must be a disciple of their academy.

More and more people came here, and Jiang Xin looked around.

"Big brother, where did Brother Yu go?"

A hint of worry flashed in Jiang Xin's eyes. Jiang Ling also looked around in confusion, then shook his head. Logically speaking, with such a commotion here, he should have come too...

Feng Qingxue also arrived in this desolate place.

"Senior Sister!"

"It's Senior Sister."

Feng Qingxue walked over, looked at the two huge pythons on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said seriously, "Everyone, let's go back to the forest to train. This wasteland is mostly inhabited by spirit beasts of level nine or above, so it is not suitable for us."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, clearly unwilling to leave. Most importantly, they all wanted to know what the newly appeared artifact was and who had taken it.

These spirit beasts have only recently died, so that person shouldn't have gone far. They might have even gone into the depths of this desolate place. All they need to do now is keep watch and they'll know.

People on Earth all have impressive backgrounds. If they could win that person over, it would be extremely beneficial to themselves and their families. Everyone present had their own thoughts.

Feng Qingxue frowned as she looked at everyone's expressions, and finally sighed softly, "You all..."

"Senior Sister, with so many of us here, even if there's a level nine spirit beast, it won't be difficult for us to deal with it if we all work together." A voice came from the crowd, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Senior Sister, don't worry."

"·····"

Seeing that no one was willing to leave, Feng Qingxue had no choice but to stay there with them.

In the crowd, Lan Zhao spotted a red feather in the grass. After glancing around, she quietly picked up the feather, observed it for a moment, and immediately knew the answer.

Just as he was thinking, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, startling him so much that he quickly hid the feather in his storage bag.

Jiang Xin noticed his actions and looked at him in confusion: "Lan Zhao, what are you doing?"

No...no.

"I clearly saw you hiding something just now!" Jiang Xin frowned, looking at him with displeasure. You, Lan Zhao, have learned to hide things from her now.

"No, Xin'er, you... you're mistaken."

Just then, a roar came from not far away.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it. As the weeds swayed, a two-meter-tall, mantis-like spirit beast appeared in their sight. Its entire body was a deep, dark green, its two yellow eyes stared intently at them, its two scythe-like forepaws emanated a chilling aura, and its fangs were covered in a clear, sticky substance.

After everyone realized what was happening, their faces turned deathly pale.

"What the hell is this?!"

Feng Qingxue frowned: "This is a level nine Death Mantis. What does a Death Mantis eat? It's probably attracted by the blood of the two giant pythons. Everyone, don't get too close to the pythons' bodies, or it will treat you as competitors."

Hearing Feng Qingxue's words, everyone was shocked and quickly moved away from the corpse of the level nine giant python.

The Death Mantis then stepped forward, its sharp scythes quickly dissecting the giant python's body before it opened its blood-red maw and began to devour it.

Just then, a series of faint sounds rang out again from the barren grass.

“A spirit beast is coming. Let’s find a place to hide first,” Feng Qingxue said solemnly.

Everyone squatted down to observe the situation ahead.

The Death Mantis also sensed something and looked behind it warily. Two Death Mantises emerged from the grass, clearly attracted by the corpses of the two giant pythons.

The death mantis hissed, seemingly announcing that all the food was itss. But how could the two death mantises let such a feast go to waste? Soon, the three death mantises were fighting fiercely, and the surrounding grass was battered and bruised by their strength.

Meanwhile, Ji Jiuying was still researching an antidote for the poisoned Feng Yu in the space. If it weren't for the antidote pills she had previously used to suppress the invasion of the poison, he would probably be a corpse by now. Although he was a member of the Feng family, he was poisoned while trying to save her, and she really couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

Ji Jiuying carefully examined the antidote formula recorded in the Heavenly Punishment Manual. This formula actually required the blood of a relative. Her lips twitched slightly. Well, she just happened to have it!

The petite figure moved back and forth in the medicinal field within the space, all to prepare the antidote for the level nine giant python.

Ji Jiuying summoned the Nine Nether Cauldron and threw the spiritual herbs into it one by one, taking a casual approach. After throwing the herbs in, she released her spiritual power to observe the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

About a quarter of an hour later, a fragrance of elixir wafted from the Nine Nether Cauldron. Seeing that the situation was about right, Ji Jiuying took out a dagger, cut her finger, and dripped a few drops of blood into the Nine Nether Cauldron. A crisp sound was heard.

A pill with blood-red markings flew out of the Nine Nether Cauldron. Ji Jiuying caught the pill steadily and came to Feng Yu, only to see him roughly pry open his mouth.

"You got off easy!"

He then stuffed the antidote into his mouth, saying, "Dongfang, help me lift him up."

Just as Dongfang Yao was about to arrive, a fiery red figure quickly appeared behind Feng Yu and helped him up: "Master, let Yan Ye help you."

Dongfang Yao's lips twitched slightly, but Ji Jiuying didn't care about that; as long as someone was helping her, that was fine.

He placed his hands on Feng Yu's back, released his spiritual energy, and entered his meridians to force out all the poison in his body. After about half an incense stick's time, several mouthfuls of black blood spurted from Feng Yu's mouth.

He collapsed to the ground, his face gradually losing its deathly paleness, and his lips slowly regaining color.

Ji Jiuying took his hand again and reached out.

"Mother, how is he?"

Ji Jiuying released his hand and said calmly, "Luckily, he ran into me, or he would be dead."

"Mom is amazing."

At this moment, Feng Yu, who was lying on the ground, let out a muffled groan. Just as Ji Jiuying was about to say something, a white light struck Feng Yu's head, causing him to fall into a coma again.

"You're quick!"

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow and sneered.

"Isn't that what you wanted to do?" Evil Fire said arrogantly.

"It seems you understand me very well."

"That's right."

Ji Jiuying's gaze fell on Qi Yun under the Soul Nourishing Tree. She saw Qi Yun sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her soul was no longer as weak as it had been at the beginning.
