While others couldn't clearly see the beast's true form, Su Qing could.
It was a Nine Netherworld Python. Just as the two outer disciples approached, they were flung away by its tail.
The Nine Netherworld Python is at least a sixth-order or higher demonic beast.
The entire Manyun Valley was shrouded in thick fog. If it weren't for a gust of wind that dispersed much of the fog, no one would have seen that tree full of Shiluo fruits.
It's likely that the Nine Netherworld Python had been hiding near the Shiluo Fruit Tree all along, and many elders of the Xuanling Sect failed to discover this sixth-order demon beast because of the smoke in Manyun Valley!
"What should we do?" Han Chen asked, frowning.
The one with the highest cultivation level here is Gu Fengying, and everyone turned to look at him.
Gu Fengying was also helpless. He was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, barely able to deal with a fourth-tier demonic beast. He couldn't even beat a fifth-tier demonic beast, let alone a sixth-tier one.
What else can we do?
“Let’s go. This Shiro fruit is good, but we don’t have the ability to produce it right now,” Gu Fengying said.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Xinxin's eyes.
But she also knew in her heart that even with so many people combined, they couldn't defeat them, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go, I see there are a few third-tier spirit herbs over there, it's important to pick them," Gu Fengying said.
Su Qing did not move.
She kept looking at the Shiluo fruit tree.
Those are Shiro fruits! In her previous life, she had seen a Shiro fruit tree with fruit, but there were only a dozen or so Shiro fruits.
This tree now bears three to five hundred Shiro fruits.
Just give up like that?
Su Qing was unwilling to accept it.
Gu Fengying had already led his men away, but Su Qing hadn't moved yet. It wasn't until everyone had walked more than ten meters away that they realized Su Qing hadn't followed.
Moreover, Su Qing has disappeared without a trace.
"Su Qing!" Gu Fengying's heart tightened, and a bad feeling instantly welled up in his heart. He looked in the direction of the Shiluo fruit tree.
Su Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Su Qing was covered in invisibility talismans at this moment.
She had already decided that even if she couldn't pick all the Shiluo fruits, she should still be able to pick ten or eight using the invisibility talisman.
The Nine Netherworld Python was hiding in the crevice behind the Shiluo Fruit Tree. Su Qing used a concealment talisman to hide her tracks and walked step by step toward the Shiluo Fruit Tree.
Closer, closer still.
Su Qing's palms were sweaty.
She was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining at this time. To her, the Nine Netherworld Python was a behemoth. She estimated that if she were touched by the tip of its tail, she would be seriously injured and fall to the ground.
Su Qing held the Spirit-Trapping Talisman in one hand and the Explosive Orb in the other.
As soon as the Nine Netherworld Python made any move, she would flick a talisman and then throw an explosive pellet at it.
Su Qing held her breath and approached step by step.
Ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters, one meter...
She only needed to walk two more steps to reach the fruit.
Su Qing looked towards the crevice in the rock behind the Shiluo fruit tree.
Inside the stone peak, the Nine Netherworld Python didn't look in her direction; the sixth-order ferocious beast seemed to be dozing off.
Su Qing bit her lip, raised her hand, and had already touched the Shi Luo Guo...
Suddenly, the Nine Netherworld Python abruptly turned its head!
The Nine Netherworld Python raised its head high, its eyes sweeping towards Su Qing's direction. Its emerald green eyes seemed to be able to see Su Qing even though she had used an invisibility talisman, and it stared intently at her.
Su Qing was so frightened that she dared not move.
My back was soaked with cold sweat.
Suddenly, the Nine Netherworld Python stretched out its body, and Su Qing was so frightened that she almost dropped the Poetry Fruit and ran away. However, she was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in her previous life, and the Nine Netherworld Python was just a small snake to her.
That's why they were able to hold on and not flee in defeat.
Just when Su Qing thought the Nine Netherworld Python was about to attack her, she saw it suddenly open its mouth wide, swallow a ripe Shi Luo fruit in one gulp, and then curl up in the crevice of the rock and stop moving.
Just peeking out to eat fruit?
Su Qing's heart was pounding in her chest, but thankfully it was just a close call.
She waited a while longer, and after seeing the Nine Netherworld Python swallow the fruit and begin to snore, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and gently picked the Shiluo Fruit from her palm.
The moment the Shiluo fruit was picked, it had already fallen into Su Qing's storage bag.
After picking the first fruit, Su Qing reached for the second one...
The Nine Netherworld Python seemed to be sleeping soundly. Su Qing looked greedily at the Poetry Fruits, thinking that she would stop after picking this one, but after picking it, her hand immediately reached for another one.
And so, Su Qing put the Shi Luo fruits into her storage bag one by one.
Su Qing stopped half an hour later.
At this time, Su Qing had picked eight or nine out of ten of the fruit trees.
Gu Fengying and his group stood not far away, watching the fruits on the Shiluo fruit tree disappear one by one. What else could they not know!
Good heavens! A disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining is picking spirit fruits right under the nose of a sixth-order demon beast! That's incredibly audacious!
Everyone's eyes gleamed with envy and jealousy, but no one dared to go over.
Just kidding, that's a sixth-tier demonic beast.
Although the fruit is precious, they feel that their lives are more valuable.
"Huh?"
After Su Qing finished picking the fruit, she was about to turn around and leave when she noticed a small green snake coiled around the branch of the Shi Luo fruit tree.
Could it be that this little green snake is the child of the Nine Netherworld Python?
That's not right. The Nine Netherworld Python is a giant black python. Its offspring could never be blue, let alone so small.
This little green snake looks so vibrant; it must be a venomous snake.
Su Qing didn't dare touch it, but casually picked the Shi Luo fruit next to the little green snake, and then turned and left.
The little green snake remained motionless, only lazily lifting its eyelids to glance at the snake.
Su Qing had an invisibility talisman attached to her, but the little green snake seemed to be able to see her. It flicked on a tree branch and landed on Su Qing's shoulder. Then it found a comfortable position and continued to sleep soundly.
Su Qing didn't notice the little green snake's little tricks at all. She quickly left the Shiluo Fruit Tree and only removed the invisibility talisman when she got to Gu Fengying and the others.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, you're amazing!"
"They actually used a first-tier concealment talisman?" They wouldn't even bother using a first-tier talisman, especially one that only conceals one's appearance.
They are disciples of the Xuanling Sect, how could they use an invisibility talisman to do such sneaky things?
But now it seems they should always carry invisibility talismans; see, this is where they come in handy.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, what's that on you?" A disciple from the Xuanling Sect saw a green patch on Su Qing's shoulder and was about to reach out to brush it off when he saw the thing suddenly straighten up. The small green snake opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
The disciple was so frightened that he took a step back and fell to the ground.
"A monster!"
