However, Su Ruoshan's thinking was too simplistic.
On the tenth day of her cultivation in her pitifully small cave, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain, so intense that she knelt on the ground and could not straighten up.
"Junior Sister Su Ruoshan, I forgot to tell you, our Cloud Sword Sect's water source has a problem. It has been contaminated by the venom of a third-tier Poison Sand Beast. If we can't find second-tier Golden Sand Dates, our dantian may be damaged and our cultivation level will drop."
Shui Qingrou's voice rang out from outside, and Su Ruoshan felt like dying.
There's no problem with the water source; Shui Qingrou is the one who poisoned it!
But Su Ruoshan had no other choice; she could only press her stomach and walk out of the cave.
In order to survive, she must find the golden dates.
Su Ruoshan collapsed on the desert floor, writhing in cold sweat from the abdominal cramps.
At this moment, she wondered if Su Qing had also encountered this situation in her previous life.
How did Su Qing respond at that time?
"If Su Qing could survive in her previous life, I can too!" Su Ruoshan bit her lip and crawled deeper into the Gobi Desert.
In her previous life, Su Qing was also schemed against by Shui Qingrou.
However, Shen Qianqian did not tell her the rules of the Cloud Sword Sect so early, and Shui Qingrou naturally did not take action so early either.
Moreover, Su Qing and Shui Qingrou were best friends for a period of time.
Su Qing really liked Shui Qingrou like an older sister back then, but unfortunately, she was later harmed terribly by Shui Qingrou.
If it weren't for Su Qing's good fortune, she probably wouldn't have even lived to the first year of joining the Cloud Sword Sect in her previous life.
...
Su Qing sat by Ying Shui Lake, watching the ripples on the lake's surface.
At this time, all the other Xuanling Sect disciples had already rested, leaving only Gu Fengying on guard duty. He was sitting under the campfire looking at the map, frowning from time to time.
Gu Fengying was quite frustrated that the team failed to hunt down ten third-tier monsters during this training trip.
Hopefully, I'll encounter a Tier 3 monster on the way back.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the shimmering lake surface, followed by a jet of water gushing out from Ying Shui Lake.
"Oh no!" Gu Fengying cried out and hurriedly tried to get up, but the water column was already heading towards him.
Gu Fengying reacted quickly, hurriedly drawing her sword to block.
Gu Fengying practiced the Five Elements Sword Technique at the Xuanling Sect. Under the light of the Five Elements, the water column was blocked, but Gu Fengying also suffered internal injuries as a result, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Su Qing reacted quickly, taking out two explosive pellets and throwing them into Yingshui Lake.
Two explosions rang out, and the water of Yingshui Lake was blasted away.
At this moment, all the Xuanling Sect disciples who were resting woke up and rushed out to see what was going on.
Then they saw Gu Fengying and Su Qing, pale-faced and seriously injured, being swept up and enveloped by a column of water, falling into Ying Shui Lake.
"Senior Brother Gu! Junior Sister Su Qing!" Ye Xinxin called out, flinging out her long ribbon in an attempt to pull the two back, but a jet of water blocked her way.
Han Chen also wanted to make a move, but Ye Xinxin was pushed back a few steps by the water column and fell to the ground. She clutched her chest and vomited several mouthfuls of blood. He could only go up and check on Ye Xinxin's injuries first.
In just a short while, Gu Fengying and Su Qing both fell into Ying Shui Lake. The water surface returned to calm. If everyone hadn't witnessed this scene, they would have thought it was an illusion.
In Yingshui Lake, a giant python was whipping its tail at the two of them.
Su Qing's face showed surprise. This was also a Nine Nether Profound Python, but it was not a sixth-order demon beast, but a fifth-order demon beast.
It seems that the python we encountered in Manyun Valley was male, while this one is female.
Gu Fengying raised the sword in her hand, and a golden light flashed as it swept towards the head of the Nine Netherworld Python.
Unfortunately, the Nine Netherworld Python in the water easily dodged with a twist of its body, and Gu Fengying couldn't hurt her in the slightest.
Gu Fengying failed to injure the Nine Netherworld Python; instead, she was coiled up by its tail.
It’s over!
Su Qing saw that Gu Fengying's tightly pursed lips could no longer hold, and he opened his mouth. He couldn't hold his breath any longer, and as he blew bubbles, lake water kept pouring into his mouth.
The Nine Netherworld Python turned its head and looked at Su Qing. Su Qing saw the scrutiny in its eyes.
Su Qing realized that the Nine Netherworld Python was probably not after her!
After all, he had secretly picked the Shiluo fruit.
Thinking of this, Su Qing tossed a Poetry Fruit out of her storage bag. The Nine Nether Profound Python was slightly taken aback when it saw the Poetry Fruit.
Then, the Nine Netherworld Python opened its mouth and swallowed the Shi Luo Fruit in one gulp.
Su Qing threw out several Poetry Fruits in succession, causing the Nine Netherworld Python to move away a bit. She rushed up and pulled Gu Fengying out from the snake's tail.
At this moment, Gu Fengying could no longer hold on. He couldn't swim to begin with, and now that he was in the water, he felt weak and powerless all over, and kept sinking.
Su Qing frowned slightly. She had to get him out of the water quickly; if he stayed in the water any longer, he would probably drown.
Su Qing was filled with regret. She wished she had prepared a few water-repelling talismans so she could have dealt with the situation.
Fortunately, Su Qing still had a life-saving talisman.
Su Qing took out a third-grade talisman from her storage bag.
It was given to her by an elder at the entrance to the back mountain of the Xuanling Sect.
"Let's go!" Su Qing made a hand seal, grabbed Gu Fengying's wrist, and raised the teleportation talisman with her other hand.
In the water, the teleportation talisman spontaneously combusted, and as it burned, a bright light flashed...
Teleportation activated!
Just as Su Qing and Gu Fengying were about to be enveloped by the teleportation light, Su Qing suddenly felt her body being pulled backward, and her heart skipped a beat.
The force pulling her was extremely strong, and Su Qing couldn't break free. She was pulled out of the area covered by the teleportation light. At this moment, her hand was still tightly gripping Gu Fengying's wrist. If she didn't let go now, neither of them would be able to teleport away.
Su Qing had no choice but to let go.
Swoosh.
The teleportation light enveloped Gu Fengying instantly, and then she disappeared without a trace.
Su Qing turned her head and saw the Nine Netherworld Python with its mouth wide open, seemingly wanting to swallow it whole, or perhaps wanting a Shi Luo Fruit?
Helpless, Su Qing could only take out the Shiluo Fruits one by one from her storage bag.
What goes around comes around.
At this moment, the fluorescent lake was pitch black, and Su Qing was being entangled by the Nine Netherworld Python, slowly descending into the depths of the lake.
The deeper Su Qing went into the lake, the more suffocated she felt in her chest. Although she could hold her breath for a long time, she was afraid she would drown in Ying Shui Lake if she continued.
Just then, the little green snake appeared.
It floated in front of Su Qing and blew a huge bubble that enveloped Su Qing's head.
Su Qing never expected that this little green snake would have such tricks up its sleeve.
