Everyone was immediately left speechless, realizing that it was someone else's misfortune!
However, they definitely won't return it.
Rong Jiaojiao transmitted her voice to the Moon Shadow Python, "Senior, let's leave first, otherwise it will be troublesome when the owner of this place comes."
The Moon Shadow Python's eyes flashed with disdain, it was unclear whether it was directed at them or at the master of this place.
With a single, imposing gesture, it forced them all into the water, then leisurely soaked in it, completely disregarding them.
This reassured Rong Jiaojiao and the others somewhat. Qing Xuanzi calmly said, "The most urgent thing is to take medicine and heal our injuries. Every little bit helps."
Everyone immediately took out Rejuvenation Pills and Spirit Recovery Pills and soaked in the cold pool to heal and recover.
Just then, the roars from afar grew closer and closer, and the ground began to tremble slightly, clearly indicating that some enormous creature was rapidly approaching.
The Moon Shadow Python suddenly emerged halfway out of the icy pool, its vertical pupils fixed on the direction from which the sound came. Its scales stood on end, and it emitted a low hiss, as if warning something.
Rong Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she asked telepathically, "Senior, have we caused you any trouble?"
The Moon Shadow Python did not respond to her. Instead, it suddenly opened its mouth, and a silvery-white light shot out from its mouth, forming a barrier that enveloped the entire cold pool.
"It's protecting us!" Mo Bai exclaimed, his eyes filled with doubt. "What exactly does it want to do?"
Qing Xuanzi said in a deep voice, "Don't make a sound, just observe the situation."
Everyone held their breath. Through the semi-transparent barrier, they could vaguely see the distant forest being smashed open by a brute force. Then, two enormous beasts stomped down, each step shaking the ground.
The two giant beasts resembled giant apes, but their bodies were as black as ink, with sharp bone spurs growing from their backs. At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot with rage.
The Moon Shadow Flood Dragon let out a deafening roar, causing the entire surface of the icy pool to tremble violently.
Its massive body was fully above the water, its silvery-white scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight, facing off against the two black giant apes.
Zi Ling trembled: "They look even more ferocious than the Moon Shadow Python..."
Mo Zhizhou said, "One is at the early stage of the fifth rank, and the other is at the late stage of the fifth rank. The Moon Shadow Flood Dragon can't handle them alone. We need to help entangle the other one."
The leading giant ape pounded its chest and roared deafeningly. Zi Ling helped translate: "Moon Shadow! How dare you trespass on our territory!"
The Moon Shadow Python flicked its tongue, its icy intent spreading in all directions: "This icy pool was originally the habitat of my beloved. Many years ago, you seized it when it was weak after shedding its skin."
Another giant ape roared, and Zi Ling translated again: "The strong prey on the weak, that's the law of the jungle! Today, we'll finally get rid of you, you long worm!"
Rong Jiaojiao and the others suddenly realized why the Moon Shadow Python had been so kind to them; it was using them.
If they don't help, and it loses, Rong Jiaojiao and the others won't fare well either.
They certainly wouldn't stand idly by for their own lives.
Rong Jiaojiao sighed: "I always thought there was no such thing as a free lunch."
Mo Bai nodded. Although their arrival was partly voluntary, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave even if they hadn't chosen to come here.
While everyone was still pondering, the two giant apes suddenly sprang up, their enormous fists, imbued with black malevolent energy, slamming towards the Moon Shadow Python!
"boom!"
The Moon Shadow Python twisted its body nimbly, its thick tail lashing out like a whip, colliding fiercely with the giant ape's fist.
A violent surge of spiritual energy exploded out instantly, snapping all the trees within a radius of dozens of feet.
Despite its agility, the Moon Shadow Python, fighting two opponents alone, quickly found itself at a disadvantage.
The late-stage fifth-order giant ape seized the opportunity, grabbing its vital spot, while another giant ape roared and swung its fist at its head!
"Attack!" Mo Zhizhou roared, and Zi Ling instantly transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, rushing towards the giant ape at the early stage of the fifth rank.
To conserve his energy, Qing Xuanzi took out a large number of Heavenly Thunder Talismans and began smashing them directly at the two giant apes.
Mo Bai formed hand seals, and the Nine Dragons Golden Seal soared into the air, with nine golden dragon phantoms roaring and binding the giant ape's legs.
Rong Jiaojiao had no more spiritual power, so she could only draw the Void Burning Soul Talisman and silently imprint it on the heads of the giant apes while they were dealing with their attacks.
The two black giant apes were scorched by the soul fire, roaring in pain and their attacks became completely chaotic.
The giant ape, at the late stage of the fifth rank, suddenly flung away the Moon Shadow Python, slammed its fists into the ground, and a violent black aura erupted from its body, actually suppressing the soul fire!
"Not good, it's going to fight desperately!" Mo Bai's expression changed, and he immediately manipulated the Nine Dragons Golden Seal. Nine golden dragon phantoms coiled around it again, trying to restrain its movements.
However, the giant ape roared and its bone spikes swelled up, actually shattering the golden dragon phantom!
Its eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at Rong Jiaojiao, clearly harboring resentment towards the human who had attacked it with soul fire.
"Jiaojiao, step back!" Qing Xuanzi shouted, and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand rained down on the giant ape.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Lightning exploded, and the giant ape was blasted to pieces, but its ferocity did not decrease but increased. With a sudden leap, it directly crossed dozens of feet and punched Rong Jiaojiao!
Rong Jiaojiao's spiritual power was exhausted, and she had no time to dodge. At the critical moment, the Moon Shadow Flood Dragon suddenly swung its tail, wrapped her up and threw her aside, but was punched in the back by the giant ape, its scales shattered and blood splattered!
"Senior!" Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed.
The Moon Shadow Python hissed in pain, but its ferocity remained undiminished. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of silvery-white icy breath, instantly freezing half of the giant ape's body!
"Opportunity!" Mo Zhizhou seized the moment, transforming his compass into a longsword that became a streak of light, piercing straight for the giant ape's throat!
"Pfft!" The sword blade pierced the flesh, and the giant ape let out a shrill scream, struggling to fight back, but the icy breath slowed its movements. Mo Zhizhou suddenly exerted his strength, and the sword light flashed, directly severing its head!
"Boom!" The giant ape's massive body crashed to the ground, its blood staining the edge of the icy pool.
Upon seeing this, the other giant ape, at the early stage of the fifth rank, finally showed a hint of fear in its eyes. It roared and turned to run away!
"Don't let it get away!" Zi Ling transformed into purple lightning, instantly catching up with the giant ape, its sharp claws tearing fiercely at the back of its neck.
The giant ape was in pain and swung its hand at Zi Ling, but Qing Xuanzi had already made a hand seal, and a sword light descended from the sky, piercing directly through its palm!
"Roar—" The giant ape roared in pain. Before it could retaliate, the Moon Shadow Python had already swum behind it, its tail sweeping across like a steel whip and slamming into its knee!
"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking rang out, and the giant ape staggered and knelt down.
Mo Bai seized the opportunity and once again summoned the Nine Dragons Golden Seal. Nine golden dragon phantoms coiled around it, binding it tightly!
"The final blow!" Rong Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, forcing herself to draw the last Void Burning Soul Talisman, and slammed it hard onto the giant ape's forehead!
