Seeing that Qiongqi didn't say anything, Yun Zheng quickly turned her attention back to the Taotie in front of her.
She used the Blood Bell Umbrella as a defense, and was about to fan the blood bells when—
A figure suddenly attacked her from behind.
With a 'bang', Yun Zheng stumbled forward a few steps. A hint of bright red instantly appeared at the corner of her lips, and her face turned pale.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the figure of the old orc Hu Jinrong. It was he who had just attacked her!
Then, Hu Jinrong's figure flashed quickly and he came to her side in the blink of an eye, trying to reach out and snatch the Linxian Fruit from her hand.
Yun Zheng immediately stepped back to avoid his attack.
And just because of this, the Blood Bell Umbrella removed its defense, and the Taotie's big mouth swallowed and bit it mercilessly. In an instant, a scream was heard.
A "swish" sound was heard, and the old orc Hu Jinrong was bitten on the arm. In order to escape, he quickly broke off his arm and fled.
Everyone gasped when they saw this.
"Puff--" Yun Zheng suddenly covered her chest and leaned over to spit out a mouthful of blood. She raised her head slightly, and the strange blood beads were stained on her lips, revealing some inexplicable temptation and danger.
She felt a sharp pain in her back and had a vague feeling that the bones in her back were about to break.
That sneak attack definitely had murderous intent.
She looked up at the old orc Hu Jinrong not far away, her eyes cold to the bone. She endured the pain and stood up straight.
Seeing the Taotie rushing towards her again, she suddenly raised her right hand, and under the extremely shocked gazes of everyone, she lightly threw the Linxian Fruit into...
In the mouth of Taotie.
Everyone's eyes widened: "!!!" Why? !
This is the Linxian fruit!
Mu Yin and Mu Chu looked at each other when they saw this.
Taotie was obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately closed its mouth as if protecting its food, and swallowed the Linxian Fruit with a "gulp". After a few seconds, it squinted its eyes slightly in comfort.
Seeing this scene, Hu Jinrong was so angry that he almost fainted. He lost an arm, and all his efforts were in vain!
He stared at Yun Zheng with his scarlet eyes wide open, "Emperor Mad Dog, you——"
"I'm not Emperor Mad Dog." Yun Zheng interrupted him coldly, "Please remember, my name is Yun Zheng, because the person named 'Yun Zheng' will send you to hell!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Isn't she the Mad Dog?!
When Hu Jinrong heard this, his pupils turned into those of an animal. Not only did he lose the Linxian Fruit and an arm, but he was also provoked by an unknown human girl!
Hu Jinrong asked sinisterly, "Did you throw the Linxian Fruit out on purpose?"
"That's right." Yun Zheng's brows were cold as she sneered, "Because Taotie is much cuter than you."
"You!" Hu Jinrong was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and glanced at the giant black-scaled beast with a bloody mouth and short limbs from afar, and then looked at the old orc with a broken arm.
For a moment, they couldn't tell which one was... cuter?
Taotie stared at Yun Zheng with its dark red pupils for a few seconds, and the black scales on its body actually showed a tendency to rise slightly.
Qiongqi, who was in Fengxing Space, saw this and a look of panic flashed across his face. He hurriedly sent a message to Yun Zheng: "It's over, it's over, Yun Zheng ant, that Taotie idiot seems to be interested in you!"
"Go! Go quickly!".
Taotie is a bottomless pit!
Under Yun Zheng's subtle influence, Qiongqi unconsciously became concerned about her wealth and property.
When the cubs in Fengxing Space heard what Qiongqi said, they also looked solemn and looked at each other.
Erbai said seriously, "Master, why don't we leave first."
"Yes, yes." The kids echoed.
Yun Zheng: “?”
After eating the Linxian Fruit, Taotie became strangely quiet, but it would occasionally glance at the races present and then shed... saliva.
Everyone was terrified by what they saw.
Among the hundreds of people, many wanted to contract with Taotie, so they did not take any action, as if they were waiting for the best opportunity.
Hu Jinrong wanted to kill Yun Zheng immediately to avenge the loss of the Linxian Fruit. While he was thinking about this, he also took action.
His figure was extremely fast, and he quickly came in front of Yun Zheng and shouted loudly:
"Tiger Palm!"
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Yun Zheng raised the Blood Bell Umbrella to block it.
The two started fighting, but Yun Zheng kept dodging the attacks more often. After all, the strength of the two was very different.
Hu Jinrong's cultivation level is at the middle level of the Holy Heavenly Dao Realm.
Hu Jinrong had just lost an arm and his strength had decreased, while Yun Zheng had the strongest defensive artifact to help him and could still fight for dozens of rounds.
What's more, before this, Yun Zheng had watched Hu Jinrong's fighting moves and secretly studied them, so for a while they were evenly matched.
Taotie's gaze followed the trajectory of the two of them.
At this moment, Tu Shuang and Tu Zhan, the brother and sister, attacked Taotie. Their goal was to contract the ancient ferocious beast.
When the others saw this, they also used their strength to attack Taotie.
Although the Linxian Fruit is gone now, Taotie is still an extremely rare ancient ferocious beast. If they can contract it, they will be able to reach a higher level.
In an instant——
This area seemed to be caught in a chaos. The ground was full of potholes, and the surrounding area looked like a wasteland because the trees, flowers and plants had long been swallowed by the Taotie.
Yun Zheng was fighting against Hu Jinrong. During the battle, Mu Chu and his sister wanted to join in helping Yun Zheng, but were stopped by Yun Zheng with a look.
As the battle dragged on, Yun Zheng's physical condition became worse and worse.
One was that she was hit hard by a sneak attack from behind, and the other was that she had fought a battle with Tu Zhan and others a few hours ago, and new injuries had not yet healed.
Behind Hu Jinrong, a giant tiger-like figure appeared, its aura growing stronger. He stared at Yun Zheng and sneered, "My name is Hu Jinrong, and you will die at my hands today."
Yun Zheng put away the Blood Bell Umbrella Jiuyun without changing her expression.
"Really?" she said in a light tone.
Hu Jinrong's gaze fell on the bracelet on her left wrist, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes. The red umbrella artifact just now had extremely strong defensive capabilities. Although he could no longer obtain the Linxian Fruit, he still had his eyes on this artifact.
Kill her and take the artifact.
She straightened her back slightly, and there was a sound of bones breaking, and suddenly, a stream of blood flowed down the back of her hand.
'Tick-tick'
She raised the fingertips of her right hand and smeared the blood between her eyebrows.
A bit of enchanting blood-red fell between her eyebrows, making her look like both a devil and a fairy. The two temperaments were entangled together, making it extremely difficult to distinguish them.
She raised her eyes, and her dark pupils suddenly turned red, dangerous and mysterious.
The girl said with a half-smile: "I forgot to tell you, I have the ability to tame beasts, so you who have half-beast blood——"
"That's my prey!"
