There are demons!
Upon sensing the magic, the three words immediately popped into Shushu's mind, and his divine sense instinctively probed forward.
Unexpectedly, divine sense could not penetrate very far; at most, it could only see a distance of less than twenty feet in front and behind, and it could not see anything beyond that.
Turning its gaze to Yuki, and receiving a nod of approval, Shushu knew that its earlier guess was correct; there was a restriction here, a restriction that suppressed divine sense.
This result was not exactly friendly to them; in fact, it was a bit of a surprise. Shushu's heart was in her throat.
Just as he was hesitating whether to continue or pause to look for another way out, Xiao Chengxu's voice came from his mind.
"Sister, let me out. I should be able to handle the monsters ahead."
His tone was filled with excitement and eagerness. Upon hearing this, Shushu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he released Xiaochengxu, taking the opportunity to check on its condition.
Then, Shushu discovered that, after not paying attention to it for a while, Xiaochengxu's spiritual cultivation had actually reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even the Nascent Soul stage cultivation of demonic cultivators has become more stable, losing its previous ethereal and unrealistic feel.
Clearly, these are all benefits brought about by its spiritual cultivation.
At the same time, as a being with both spiritual and demonic aspects, cultivating spiritual power is a natural process for it, and its progress is rapid.
Seeing that things were changing for the better, Shushu was very happy. Without much hesitation, he granted its request and let Xiaochengxu take the lead, while he and Xuejie followed closely behind.
And so, after traveling for a short while, they finally came face to face with the horde of monsters ahead.
At the other end of the passageway, rushing towards them were a group of demonic snakes, brightly colored and clearly venomous.
Moreover, the general cultivation level of this group of demonic snakes was only slightly higher than that of the previous shadow insects, because the leading demonic snake was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
As for Chengxu, he is about to enter the late stage of the Divine Transformation phase, and he clearly has the upper hand in the mid-stage versus the early stage.
Therefore, after seeing the situation on the other side clearly, Shushu felt relieved and quickly took out the antidote pills. They each took one and swallowed it. Just then, the demonic snake on the other side arrived in front of them.
The moment the two sides met, it was like a thunderbolt striking the earth. Without saying a word, the demonic serpent on the other side sprang up and launched an attack.
Streams of venom, accompanied by various spiritual techniques, rushed towards Shushu and his companions, filling the entire passageway with vibrant colors.
Shushu Xuejie and Xiaochengxu were not to be trifled with either, and they immediately launched a counterattack.
A thick barrier was erected to block the attacks, while the spiritual techniques slammed into the opponent. Xiao Chengxu, being particularly cunning, deflected all their attacks back.
Although these demonic snakes are venomous, they are wary of the venom and spiritual skills of other venomous snakes.
Furthermore, not expecting Xiao Chengxu to use this move, they were all focused on attacking and didn't even consider defense.
So, Xiao Chengxu's flick immediately startled them, and they all tried to get away, but in their movement, they accidentally bumped into other snakes nearby.
One line collided with another, and the originally neat and orderly team was thus broken up.
Even in the process of retreating, some venomous snakes accidentally got entangled with each other, twisting into a bunch of pretzel-like knots.
For a moment, the entire space was filled with the hissing sounds of venomous snakes.
The shrew didn't hear their snake language, but judging from the volume and urgency of the sounds, it was clear that they were probably swearing quite rudely.
Shushu sighed inwardly, but his hands moved swiftly.
Taking advantage of the infighting among the enemy, he targeted the demonic snakes that were suppressed and unable to move, and in one fell swoop, he cut off the vital points of dozens of demonic snakes, sending them to their deaths.
It was probably the death of their companion that provoked these serpents.
They finally realized that now was not the time to be angry with their companions. Ignoring their still-entangled bodies, they turned around and continued to spray venom and unleash their magical abilities towards the millet.
Some of the more agile ones even know how to shrink their bodies, slip out of the twisted dough, reveal their venomous fangs, and then menacingly approach the millet and sweet potato.
Seeing this, the yam was not afraid. It raised its sharp claws and nimbly avoided the venomous fangs of the demon snakes, heading straight for their vital spot.
If it's inconvenient to find a vulnerable spot, she'll target the opponent's eyes and the snake's belly, among other vulnerable areas.
Before long, the ground beneath Shushu's feet was piled high with snake carcasses, some whole, some in sections, growing higher and higher.
Shushu also found her rhythm in the battle. She communicated with Huoyi and Phoenix Flame, asking them to help prevent the demonic energy from contaminating her body. Shushu then fought with complete abandon.
From initially choosing to fight those with lower cultivation levels, to fighting those with the same cultivation level, and finally even attempting to fight those of higher cultivation levels.
Almost every opponent she chose ended up dying under her claws.
Of course, the millet also suffered quite a bit.
Some had their fur ripped off, some had their skin and flesh torn off, and some had long, thin cuts made, with blood gushing out, staining their white fur half red.
However, because Shushu had taken an antidote beforehand, he was not poisoned by snake venom.
The demonic energy was burned away by Huo Yi and the Phoenix Flame, which served as the last line of defense, the moment it was about to touch her, giving the demonic energy no chance to enter Shushu's body and meridians.
Everyone could see that Shushu intended to use these demonic snakes for practice, and they had been cooperating with her. Chengxu was responsible for restraining the Demonic Snake King, while Xuejie was responsible for controlling the number of demonic snakes around Shushu.
The glutton grew stronger with each fight, eventually seemingly entering a mysterious state, its eyes seemingly filled with stars, yet its claws moved with undiminished speed.
Any demonic snake that gets close to her will be killed within a foot of her, without exception, and none can cross the boundary.
Xuejie and Xiaochengxu exchanged a glance, knowing that she had encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough.
They swiftly and decisively killed the Demon Serpent King and all the high-level Demon Serpents, leaving only a few Demon Serpents within their control to feed the shrew with their attacks.
Huo Yi and Phoenix Flame, the two divine flames that have always stayed close to Shu Shu, are now wholeheartedly protecting him.
Until the last demonic serpent was slain, Shushu immediately closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
The spiritual energy from all directions was drawn to the yam, forming a vortex of spiritual energy around it.
The two beasts and two divine fires present could clearly see the changes in Shushu, watching the spiritual energy gradually enter Shushu's body.
Finally, they clearly heard a cracking sound, like something breaking.
The next moment, the aura around Shushu changed slightly, and he had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
