After successfully absorbing the power of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, Lin Qian exuded a powerful aura. With a determined look in her eyes, she left the secret realm and embarked on her journey to the next place of destiny for female protagonists.
Meanwhile, far away at her sect, the female protagonist sat in her room. Outside the window, the sunlight was obscured by dark clouds, making the room somewhat dim. Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and unease. A strange sense of loss welled up within her, as if something extremely important had quietly slipped away from her life, yet she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
The woman unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her brows furrowed slightly, the agitation in her heart preventing her from calming down.
"What's wrong with me? I feel so empty inside..." the female protagonist murmured to herself, her voice filled with confusion and unease.
Meanwhile, Lin Qian was rapidly making her way towards the next opportunity. The scenery changed constantly along the way, but her mind was completely focused on the impending chance.
"003, is there anything special about this place of opportunity?" Lin Qian asked.
"Host, the place of opportunity this time is called 'Spirit Valley.' It is said to have abundant spiritual vein resources and may even contain precious magical treasures. However, there are also many powerful guardian beasts there, so we need to be careful," 003 explained in detail.
"Hmph, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will seize this opportunity," Lin Qian said confidently.
"Host, you must not let your guard down. The dangers of Spirit Valley are not to be underestimated, and we need to be fully prepared," 003 reminded him.
"I understand, don't worry." Lin Qian quickened her pace, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
Lin Qian sped along and finally arrived at the outer edge of Lingxi Valley. The valley entrance was shrouded in mist, and several cranes could be vaguely seen circling in the air, making the valley seem even more mysterious and unpredictable.
"003, this Spirit Valley looks pretty intimidating. Could there be some traps?" Lin Qian narrowed her eyes, cautiously surveying her surroundings.
"Host, the system has detected no abnormalities at the valley entrance, but the situation inside the valley is complex, so we still need to proceed with caution," 003 dutifully reminded.
Lin Qian sneered, "Hmph, there's nowhere in this world that can stop me!" With that, she plunged headfirst into the clouds.
The Lingxi Valley is filled with spiritual energy, with exotic flowers and rare herbs growing everywhere, and rare birds and animals roaming among the trees.
Upon entering the valley, Lin Qian felt a surge of rich spiritual energy, a stark contrast to the outside world.
"No wonder the female lead would set her sights on this place. The concentration of spiritual energy here is so high that it would be considered a treasure even in the cultivation world," Lin Qian thought to herself.
She absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy while cautiously observing her environment.
Ancient trees reach for the sky in Lingxi Valley, vines intertwine, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. Occasionally, the chirping of unknown birds and insects can be heard, making it exceptionally quiet.
However, beneath this seemingly calm surface lies a deadly trap.
However, at that moment, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, making Lin Qian's eardrums ache. Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature descended from the sky, crashing heavily in front of Lin Qian and blocking her path.
Lin Qian stared intently and gasped. The behemoth before her was as large as a mountain, covered in blue scales, with a pair of copper bell-like eyes flashing with ferocity. Its huge mouth was open, revealing sharp fangs, and a stench wafted towards her.
"Holy crap! What kind of monster is this?!" Lin Qian couldn't help but swear.
"Host, this is an ancient ferocious beast, the Sky-Devouring Python!" 003's voice trembled slightly. "Its strength is unfathomable; host, you'd better hide quickly!"
"Hide? Where can we hide?!" Lin Qian looked at the Devouring Python that had almost blocked the entire valley, and felt like crying.
The Devouring Python looked down at Lin Qian with disdain and mockery in its eyes, as if looking at a weak ant. It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar: "Insignificant human, how dare you trespass on my territory! You're courting death!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the Devouring Python lunged at Lin Qian, its stench so foul it was nauseating. Lin Qian quickly summoned her natal magic weapon, a longsword gleaming with cold light, and met the attack head-on.
"Clang!"
A piercing clang of metal rang out, and Lin Qian felt an overwhelming force strike her, making her hands go numb and nearly causing her to drop her longsword.
"Damn it, how can this beast be so strong!" Lin Qian cursed inwardly, not daring to confront it head-on, and quickly used her movement technique to narrowly dodge the Devouring Python's attack.
However, the Devouring Python was too fast. As soon as Lin Qian dodged one attack, its next wave of attacks came one after another, giving Lin Qian no chance to catch her breath.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Devouring Python's attacks were like a storm, constantly raining down on Lin Qian, smashing the ground into huge craters, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sun.
Lin Qian dodged and weaved under the attacks of the Devouring Python, looking disheveled and gradually developing numerous wounds on her body.
Lin Qian felt like a small boat in a raging storm, constantly on the verge of being torn to shreds by the Devouring Python's attacks. As she dodged, she mentally screamed:
"This damn system! It says there's a chance in Spirit Stream Valley, but this isn't a chance, it's a death trap! This Devouring Python has probably already transformed and undergone tribulation. With my small body, I'm not even enough to fill its teeth!"
The Devouring Python seemed to have seen through Lin Qian's thoughts, letting out a mocking roar and intensifying its attack.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" Lin Qian was driven to desperation, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
"003, exchange for high-level defense and attack talismans for me, as many as you want!"
"But host, your points..."
"Stop talking nonsense! What's the use of points if you're dead!"
"yes!"
As soon as 003 finished speaking, several golden talismans appeared in Lin Qian's hand. Without hesitation, she crushed a defensive talisman, and a golden light shield instantly enveloped her.
"boom!"
The Devouring Python's attack slammed heavily against the light barrier, producing a deafening roar. The light barrier trembled violently a few times, but ultimately withstood the attack.
"Phew..." Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the defensive talisman was powerful enough, otherwise she would have really died here.
"You beast, come on again!" Lin Qian gave the Devouring Python the middle finger, taunting it.
The Devouring Python was completely enraged by Lin Qian's actions. It roared to the sky, its huge body coiled up, and opened its blood-red maw, spitting out a stream of black venom at Lin Qian.
"Holy crap! You're playing with poison, huh?!" Lin Qian quickly crushed another defensive talisman and threw out all the attack talismans in her hand at the same time.
