Just as the Tianqi Snow Serpent turned its head, the "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui suddenly let out a monstrous scream, followed by a series of crackling sounds from his body.
The stones, dirt, and ice that had fallen from the ground swirled towards him.
Yan Qing and Wen Jiajia couldn't care less about him; they were focused on escaping while Tianqi Snow Serpent was distracted, so they didn't notice the big commotion below.
But Yue Qi had already reached the top of the cave entrance and was looking down at it with perfect clarity.
After the dust settled, the "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui instantly transformed into a monster three times its original size, with bulging veins all over his body, looking exceptionally violent.
The Heavenly Snow Serpent also stopped, hissing and flicking its tongue, but made no move. Instead, it stared warily at the pagoda-like yellow light above the "Spider-Man's" head.
The next moment, the "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui roared again, and a ray of light emanated from the pagoda above his head, enveloping the Tianqi Snow Serpent.
What happened next was extremely bizarre. A tiny beam of golden light, not even as big as a little finger of the Tianqi Snow Serpent, actually forced the enormous Tianqi Snow Serpent to roll around frantically on the ground.
The Tianqi Snow Serpent writhed and rolled wildly on the ground in agony. Its white body, over five zhang long, slammed against the ground and walls, and the sounds of collapse echoed throughout the cave.
"Oh no! Run! The path here is about to collapse!" The cracks on the wall were increasing, and half of the path behind them had already collapsed, and it looked like it was about to reach them.
Their hearts were pounding, and they started running upwards as fast as they could.
Despite this, the two of them were still quite a distance from the top of the cave.
"Wen Jiajia, your flight is strange, can it support our weight?" A thought flashed through Yan Qing's mind.
"Okay!" Wen Jiajia didn't hesitate. She immediately summoned the two strongest flying monsters, quickly pounced on one of their backs, and reminded Yan Qing as well.
"Quickly, get up here right now!"
Yan Qing didn't hesitate and immediately climbed onto the back of the second strangely flying creature. The two had only flown less than two meters when a loud bang came from the path behind them.
The battle eventually reached their location, and after the dust settled, the path was gone.
"Wen Jiajia, let's hurry up and meet up with Yue Qi!" Yan Qing shouted, and the two of them flew straight up to the top of the sky without turning their heads.
Yue Qi was almost about to jump down, but when he saw the two flying monsters released by Wen Jiajia, he was completely relieved.
Finally, the group reunited at the mountaintop, where Yue Qi was waiting for them on a small, protruding platform.
"Whew—that was close!"
As soon as Yan Qing stepped onto the platform, she patted her chest with lingering fear. Glancing at Wen Jiajia again, she saw that the young lady was already sprawled on the ground, her body barely firmer than a noodle.
"Are you alright?" Yue Qi asked worriedly, noticing how pale her face was.
"It's nothing, I just ran a little too fast—sigh, the only two times I've ever risked my life, I've actually given it all to this dungeon." Yan Qing even had the audacity to joke about herself.
However, this harmonious atmosphere didn't last long, as Wen Jiajia exclaimed in surprise.
"Quick, look over there!"
The two looked in the direction she was pointing and found that the fight between the two monsters on the ground had reached an extremely fierce stage.
The monk Yuanhui was a strange character, something they had never expected. After all, several days had passed since they entered, and Yan Qingyue, Qi, and even Wen Jiajia had not discovered his true identity, leaving only one possibility.
— Monk Yuanhui is a highly mysterious being, and his level is higher than any of them.
After all, "high-level supernatural being" is just a general term; in the world of supernatural beings, there are stricter classifications of strength. The most advanced are the legendary titled supernatural beings, which are divided into gold, silver, and bronze levels.
Yue Qi had already discussed this extensively with the nameless knight. In the nameless knight's words, although he was among the top-tier supernatural beings, he had already stepped into the highest level of titled supernatural beings.
He could only barely obtain a bronze-level title, and according to his observation, this "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui was at least at the peak of the silver level, and might even have entered the gold level.
Therefore, it's not surprising that he can fight the Tianqi Snow Serpent to a standstill.
Moreover, this "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui possesses one of the ten sacred artifacts of Buddhism—the Nine-Refined Jade Cloud Pagoda. His combat power is thus elevated to a whole new level.
As an ancient guardian beast of the tomb, the Tianqi Snow Serpent was naturally not to be outdone. Although Yan Qing didn't know why the Tianqi Snow Serpent was staring so intently at Monk Yuanhui, it was definitely related to that so-called sacred artifact.
The frozen lake was now ravaged by the battle between the two monsters, and the water was churning, revealing its true color.
A faint crimson hue rose from the bottom of the lake and gradually spread throughout the entire lake.
"My God! The lake has turned red!" The two monsters on the ground were fighting when they suddenly moved into the air. Black and red blood and light blue blood fell down in patches and mixed into the lake water, turning it into a beautiful pink color.
To the astonishment of the group, a building resembling a small island slowly rose from the lake.
The moment the island rose, it suddenly shone with golden light. The once majestic "Spider-Man" monk Yuanhui suddenly let out a howl and fell from mid-air, crashing straight into the icy lake.
The Tianqi Snow Serpent was greatly excited, and began to frantically flick its tongue, hissing loudly, looking extremely excited.
It quickly turned around and swam into the lake in one breath, heading towards the island.
Just then, a huge silver net suddenly fell from the sky and covered the Tianqi Snow Serpent.
The silver net flashed with lightning in an instant, and the snow serpent's pure white body was immediately charred black. It kept thrashing in the lake water, looking as if it was in excruciating pain.
Even so, despite its numerous injuries, it stubbornly and resolutely swam towards the small island in the center of the lake.
"The snake is so pitiful!" Wen Jiajia's voice rang out. "Can't we help it?"
Yan Qing sighed, "I can't help you anymore. Take a look over there."
Wen Jiajia's expression finally turned serious. Following the direction Yan Qing pointed, she actually saw several people who had long since disappeared.
—Sun Qiang, you've been keeping it well hidden!
