While thinking about how to answer Luo Fantian's question, Xie Zhou grabbed Luo Fantian's hand and started running towards the edge of the Ghost Forest.
"Xiao Huan, hurry up and eat. I'm going out soon, so catch up with me as soon as possible."
Xie Zhou made contact with the Six-Winged Illusionary Python through telepathy.
"Yes, Master! I'll catch up with you before you go out!"
The six-winged serpent was enjoying its meal.
"Something must have happened inside this Ghost Forest. We need to inform the Immortal Venerable about this as soon as possible."
As Xie Zhou ran, for some reason, she felt that Luo Fantian was a bit heavy and she had to drag him along.
"Brother Brahma, you..."
Xie Zhou turned around and was startled by Luo Fantian behind him.
Luo Fantian was surrounded by evil spirits, his face was black, and his amber pupils had turned black. He opened his mouth, desperately trying to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Evil Demon Soul!"
Xie Zhou licked his lips.
"It must be because Luo Fantian consumed too much of his immortal power while inside the cocoon that he was entangled by the evil spirit under these circumstances!"
The system's voice sounded somewhat somber.
"As far as I know, evil spirits only entangle those who are on the verge of death and absorb their life essence. Luo Fantian is clearly not among them!"
Faced with the changes in the evil spirit's soul, Xie Zhou dared not act rashly.
She gripped Luo Fantian's hand even tighter.
"Close your eyes, I'll help you absorb the energy of these evil spirits!"
The system finally worked for once.
"good."
Xie Zhou closed his eyes, and a continuous stream of pure energy was extracted and channeled into Luo Fantian's body.
If it were someone else standing in front of Luo Fantian instead of Xie Zhou, Luo Fantian would probably have been drained of his life force and turned into a dried-up corpse in no time.
Fortunately, Luo Fantian encountered Xie Zhou.
Perhaps this is the luck of the chosen one; as the villain, he is forced to save the protagonist's life time and time again.
"Shen Shen, the energy of the evil spirit has exceeded the limits your body can withstand!"
A more serious voice came from the system in Xie Zhou's mind.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body, which had been feeling incredibly comfortable from the energy infusion, began to experience a faint pain.
Xie Zhou felt as if his body was about to burst, like a balloon about to be filled with air.
"System, what are you doing! I'm going to die if this keeps up!"
Now, not only is my body aching, but more importantly, I'm having trouble breathing.
"Host, I hope you can understand the limitations of a weak system."
The system clearly has no intention of stopping.
"The huge energy fluctuations will attract some low-level magical beasts. You can use your excess energy to kill them then."
The system continuously supplied energy to Xie Zhou while speaking to him.
"Damn it, if the monsters don't come soon, am I going to explode and die?!"
Xie Zhou's face was flushed red with pain. She wanted to curse in her heart, thinking that it would have been better if she had died.
At least for now, I don't have to be treated like a tool!
"They're here!"
Following a mechanical prompt from the system, Xie Zhou focused his power into his left fist.
"Since you came to us of your own accord, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xie Zhou looked at the low-level demonic lizards gathered together in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Low-level demonic lizards are social creatures with extremely weak individual strength; even an ordinary person with little magical power could easily kill them.
Weak creatures always like to travel in groups, thinking that this will allow them to escape being killed and become the masters of other people's fates.
Pure energy continuously burst forth from Xie Zhou's body, and the low-level demonic lizards gathered around him were eager to enjoy Xie Zhou as their "delicacy."
"Bring it on!"
Just as he was worrying about where to release his energy, Xie Zhou's eyes turned red when he saw this low-level demonic lizard.
"roar!"
The mid-level demonic lizard, surrounded by the other demonic lizards, roared, and the lizards began to move.
"Come here, you bastards!"
Xie Zhou's arm was in so much pain it felt like it was about to split open, but the group of demonic lizards were still standing there watching.
"Damn it, if you won't come, I'll come myself!"
Xie Zhou couldn't take it anymore. She gripped Luo Fantian tightly with her right hand to prevent the energy transmission from breaking down, took a big step forward with her left foot, grabbed a demon lizard by the neck, and separated its neck from its body.
He took out the low-level magic lizard's illusion stone and put it in his pocket. After releasing some energy, Xie Zhou felt a little more relaxed.
"roar!"
The death of their companion did not deter these low-level demonic lizards; in fact, the smell of blood only fueled their ferocity.
One after another, the demonic lizards pounced towards Xie Zhou.
"More! More!"
Xie Zhou happily fought the demon lizard while digging for illusion stones.
With so many low-level magical beast stones, you can exchange them for quite a few good treasures at the Sword Sect.
Xie Zhou became happier and happier as he fought, and he even felt a little smug.
"A great haul! More, more!"
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the surroundings were filled with the corpses of low-level demonic lizards, and the number of illusionary stones around Xie Zhou also increased.
"That's great, that's great! Making money makes me happy."
Unbeknownst to him, the evil spirit that had been clinging to Luo Fantian was completely digested.
The number of demonic lizards surrounding Xie Zhou did not decrease; on the contrary, their numbers increased.
As the fight progressed, Xie Zhou's expression turned serious.
Without a continuous supply of energy, she didn't know how long she could hold on.
"System! When will this demonic lizard disappear?! I've collected so many magic stones, I don't want to die before I even get to use them!"
Xie Zhou began to release his energy cautiously; clearly, the fight wasn't as enjoyable as before.
On several occasions, the demonic lizard attacked Xie Zhou from behind, tearing his clothes to shreds.
"I forgot to tell you, low-level demonic creatures like the Demon Lizard are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. With such a strong smell of blood here, these fearless creatures have probably already lost their minds."
The system said weakly.
"I knew it! I thought you helping me absorb energy was for some good reason! Now look what happened! I shouldn't have given you my heart!"
Xie Zhou started cursing loudly.
"Um?"
Luo Fantian slowly woke up and was startled to find himself surrounded by the corpses of demonic lizards.
Looking further ahead, I saw a woman of unparalleled beauty.
The woman had almond-shaped eyes and long, jet-black hair that hung down to her waist. Her disheveled hair and somewhat tattered clothes could not diminish her beauty.
"Who are you……"
Luo Fantian was first stunned by the bloody scene before him, and then attracted by the beautiful fairy sister in front of him.
He couldn't take his eyes off her at all.
"You're finally awake! Don't just stand there, help me!"
Xie Zhou said.
