Jiang Shumiao seemed to be deep in thought.
That snake demon used to increase its cultivation by devouring demons weaker than itself. After lying dormant for several years, it may have suffered at the hands of that cultivator and, like Qianli, was healing its wounds. Now that it has emerged from the mountain, it is likely that it wants to absorb the souls of mortals for its own cultivation.
She clapped her hands. "I know where it is. I'll go catch it now."
Jiang Shuman quickly followed.
Jiang Shumiao waved her hand, "I can go by myself. Too many people will only hold me back."
Jiang Shuman: "..."
Okay.
Fuqu was a little scared, but she stayed.
Qianli wanted to see what would happen to the evil demon, so she stayed in her Qiankun sleeve and followed it there.
Jiang Shumiao quickly found the cave where the snake demon was healing.
Divine power spread out.
A moment later, a grayish-brown python flew out, its blood-red mouth wide open, revealing its long forked tongue.
"It turned out to be a child."
When the snake demon spoke, it was a man's voice, sinister and chilling.
"The child's soul is pure and refined, perfect for my cultivation."
The snake lunged at Jiang Shumiao.
Jiang Shumiao raised her hand, and a soft golden light emanated from her palm, forming an impenetrable wall. The snake demon was instantly thrown back ten miles.
He realized that his opponent was a strong person and immediately tried to escape.
But in the next instant, Jiang Shumiao blocked his path.
"He hurt someone and then tried to escape."
The childish voice was filled with coldness.
She didn't need any weapons; she simply drew a few lines in the air, and golden runes instantly surrounded the snake demon, who let out a shrill roar.
It rapidly shifts between snake and human forms, eventually shrinking into a small snake.
Jiang Shumiao lifted his snake tail and flicked his forehead. "Tell me, why did you hurt people?"
The snake demon retorted angrily, "Humans can catch snakes, so why can't I eat humans?"
Jiang Shumiao casually cast a curse on him.
He immediately screamed in agony.
"Who...who are you?"
Jiang Shumiao didn't answer, but instead asked another question, "What are you planning to do linger in Shanggu Mountain?"
The snake demon did not answer.
Jiang Shumiao added another layer of spell.
The snake demon finally couldn't resist, "There are...treasures in the mountains."
Jiang Shumiao asked in surprise, "What treasure?"
"No, I don't know."
The snake demon was too weak to resist. This little girl was terrifying. She looked like a mortal, but she possessed immense divine power.
He, a thousand-year-old demon, couldn't even withstand a single move from this little girl.
"This mountain... has spiritual energy. I originally... was healing... my injuries here. But later I discovered that there are no spiritual veins in this mountain. No spiritual veins, yet there is spiritual energy, so there must be... treasures. Most likely, a divine artifact..."
"A divine artifact?"
Jiang Shumiao became interested.
She rolled the snake demon into a ball and threw it into her Qiankun sleeve.
"Sister Qianli, keep an eye on it, let's go treasure hunting."
