Shangguan Jing pointed at the mountain not far away and said, "Xiao Qingran is fighting that demon. He's in the early Nascent Soul stage. Xiao Qingran is no match for him."
Feng Qing and Huo Li looked where Shangguan Jing pointed, but they didn't see anyone, let alone Xiao Qingran.
The two of them looked back at Shangguan Jing in confusion.
"It's a trick. We just came out from there. Fly over here, and on the left side of the mountain, there's a crooked tree. That tree is the mechanism to enter the cave."
Feng Qing and Huo Li flew away immediately after hearing this.
Soon, the two found the crooked tree Shangguan Jing had mentioned. Feng Qing tested it himself, striking the crooked tree with his palm, sending him plummeting to the bottom of the cave.
Seeing this, Huo Li hurriedly followed him.
At this time, Xiao Qingran was using the same trick again, summoning soul-eating flying ants.
She sneaked into the bottom of the cave to rescue Shangguan Jing and the others, but before she could escape, she met the temporary contractor of the nightmare beast.
The man looked very young, about the same age as Feng Qing. But his eyes were dark and sinister. In order to allow Shangguan Jing and the others to escape, she had no choice but to stop him.
At the early stage of the Golden Core stage, she knew she was no match for someone at the Nascent Soul stage, so she began summoning Soul-Eating Flying Ants as soon as this man appeared. Unfortunately, this man was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy, and if she made any unusual movement, he would attack Xiao Qingran.
It's the kind that attacks from a distance.
Xiao Qingran's level was a whole realm lower than his, so he could only passively take the beating.
The man seemed to be playing with her. He didn't slap her to death with one slap. Instead, he slapped her once and then stopped for a while.
When Xiao Qingran struggled to get up, he slapped her again.
As a result, Xiao Qingran's summons, which he had prepared for a long time, were interrupted every time.
But this time, no matter how the opponent attacked her, Xiao Qingran quickly completed the hand seals and chanted the spell. The moment the summoning was successful, Xiao Qingran was beaten by the opponent and spit out blood.
Fortunately, the other party only hit her on the back each time, with the intention of knocking her down, and did not affect the baby in her belly.
Otherwise, if her life was really in danger, she would definitely teleport herself back.
"What did you do?"
The man's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
But he looked at the woman in front of him who was almost unable to stand up because of his teasing, and he was puzzled.
This woman had let his furnace go, and now he had beaten her severely. Could she still turn the tide?
"You'll find out soon enough."
Xiao Qingran got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the other person with cold eyes: "You rely on signing a contract with the nightmare beast and using women as a furnace to practice. A fighter among scum. Not worthy of being a human, worse than a beast."
The man didn't understand, but he sneered disdainfully: "You actually know everything? Tsk tsk, what good does it do even if you know? You can't escape from here while I'm here. You let my furnace go, so I'll use you as compensation. Since you're pretty, I won't drain your cultivation right away. I'll give you a few more days to live."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a buzzing sound.
Before he could think about what could have made that sound, he cried out in pain.
When a sky full of soul-eating flying ants suddenly pounced towards him from the cave entrance, he was so scared that he almost fainted.
He used his spiritual power to drive away the soul-eating flying ants while dodging: "Why are there so many ghost things in this place?"
He used his spiritual power to send a group of soul-devouring flying ants flying off him again. The man was horrified to find that there was still an endless stream of soul-devouring flying ants rushing towards him.
After he blocked wave after wave of soul-eating flying ants, he took an inadvertent glance and was surprised to find that none of the soul-eating flying ants attacked Xiao Qingran.
Xiao Qingran folded his arms and looked at him coldly, with a wicked smile on his lips.
That smile made the man's scalp tingle, and he was stung by several soul-eating flying ants before he was paying attention.
The man screamed in pain, his face pale.
It's over.
A single sting from a Soul-Eating Flying Ant could delay death for two hours. But after so many bites, the poison must have already flowed through his bloodstream. Even if a Daluo Immortal came, he would be doomed.
Xiao Qingran looked at the despair in the man's eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened.
When Feng Qing and Huo Li fell down, they saw this strange scene.
The two were horrified when they saw the Soul-Eating Flying Ants. They quickly took out the black cloak that covered their entire body from their space rings and wrapped themselves tightly.
When Xiao Qingran saw the actions of the two, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Well, you don't have to do that. These soul-eating flying ants won't sting you."
Xiao Qingran didn't expect Feng Qing and Huo Li to appear here.
But when she thought of Shangguan Jing, who she had rescued, she immediately guessed that they must have come down to rescue her. Although she didn't have a good impression of narcissists like Feng Qing, she had to admit that this man was sometimes quite responsible.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't get involved in this mess.
As for Huo Li, they had almost no interactions, so she was quite surprised that he came to save her.
However, she would remember the kindness between them and would definitely repay it when she had the chance.
"Xiao Qingran, what nonsense are you talking about? Let's leave quickly while the Soul-Eating Flying Ants are dealing with that man!"
Feng Qing waved to Xiao Qingran, signaling Xiao Qingran to come over quickly and leave together.
Seeing the man had been tortured beyond recognition and collapsed to the ground, Xiao Qingran suddenly thought of something and said to Feng Qing and Huo Li, "If the three of us enter this man's dream together, can we kill the nightmare beast?"
Feng Qing looked at Xiao Qingran in shock. "Don't you know that the Nightmare Beast is invincible in dreams and no one can kill it? Not to mention the three of us, even if there were a hundred of us, we wouldn't be able to kill the Nightmare Beast. This beast has existed since ancient times and is unkillable."
Xiao Qingran didn't believe it: "Whether it's a person or an object, they all have weaknesses. I don't believe it doesn't have weaknesses."
"No one has discovered the Nightmare Beast's weakness. If you really want to kill it, you need to learn from it. Don't be impulsive."
Huo Li persuaded Xiao Qingran.
However, just when Xiao Qingran decided to leave with the two of them, something unexpected happened.
Xiao Qingran felt her brain suddenly go blank, and she felt drowsy. The next second, she fell to the ground.
Feng Qing and Huo Li were shocked and hurried over to help Xiao Qingran.
"Oh no, she was dragged into the dream by the nightmare beast."
The two looked at Xiao Qingran who was in a coma, their faces filled with anxiety.
"Let's get out of here first and talk outside."
Feng Qing picked up Xiao Qingran and flew up with Huo Li, leaving the bottom of the cave.
As soon as the three of them came up, Shangguan Jing and her group ran over.
Seeing the unconscious Xiao Qingran, Shangguan Jing cried out in anxiety: "How is she? Is she seriously injured?"
