Qian Yeming was hurled against the cliff face and fell to the ground, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his lips. But he was in no mood to care about it now. With a serious expression, he said, "I haven't seen it either, but it looks like Taotie, one of the four great beasts in ancient legends, even more powerful than the divine beasts."
"What the hell! What the hell is that? I've never heard of it!" Murong Xiao cursed angrily, "What is Taotie? What is it afraid of? How can we kill it?"
Looking at the fallen team members, Murong Xiao began to despair. Even with all eight of them working together, they couldn't withstand a single stomp or roar from the other side.
"Ancient texts record that Taotie was one of the four great beasts of antiquity. It was incredibly evil, taking pleasure in killing people. It was also incredibly powerful, and its specialty was eating. It was later tamed by the gods and taken to heaven. I guess by now... it's already considered us its food."
Seeing the other person staring at their green glasses, Murong Xiao felt extremely depressed. It seemed that she still didn't understand this world.
"Hurry up and take out all the food from the bag."
After hearing Murong Xiao's instructions, everyone was shocked and began to dig into their bags, gathering the remaining food and handing it to Murong Xiao.
Murong Xiao emptied her bag and put the food in one bag. As she was putting the food in, she noticed that the giant glutton's eyes seemed to light up when it saw the food in her hand.
"Jifeng, I will be responsible for leading it away later. You take His Highness to the top of the mountain first and pick the spiritual root grass."
"No, if we leave, we leave together, and if we stay, we stay together."
Before Ji Feng could answer, Qian Ye Ming spoke from behind without any negotiation.
The Taotie was an ancient beast, rumored to be even more powerful than a mythical beast. Regardless of whether this mythical beast was real or fake, the roar it had just made and the vibrations it caused when it stomped on the ground were already too much for them to bear. Murong Xiao's skills were impressive, but he didn't think she could defeat such a powerful creature.
"you--"
Before Murong Xiao could frame him, Qian Yeming, his eyes red, spoke again forcefully, "Life and death are determined by fate. I have said that if we leave, we leave together, and if we stay, we stay together."
Murong Xiao glared at Qian Yeming fiercely and rolled his eyes. Even using "this king" to suppress her, there was probably no room for negotiation.
"Senior from Wanling Mountain, I am Qian Yeming, the Crown Prince of Nanyue. I am suffering from a serious illness and have traveled thousands of miles to Wanling Mountain to pick spiritual roots. I have no intention of disturbing you. If you can help me, I will be grateful. If not, please let us go for our ignorance."
While Qian Yeming was speaking, Murong Xiao stared at the Taotie in the distance, drooling as if he was looking at food. As if the Taotie could understand Qian Yeming's words, there was a look in the Taotie's eyes as if he was looking at an idiot.
After Qian Yeming finished speaking, Taotie roared again and pounced towards them.
Even though the Taotie was about one or two hundred meters away from them just now, it roared and came to them in an instant.
The team members' faces changed drastically. Murong Xiao picked up a bag of dried meat and threw it in the other direction where the Taotie was rushing.
She was betting that if such a huge beast really pounced on them, they would immediately become its meal without even having the chance to fight back.
