Upon hearing this, Chu Jiuqing dared not be careless and quickly shielded Chen Qingqing behind him.
Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue surrounded Chu Jiuqing and Chen Qingqing, and fought hard to kill the black monster bird that swooped down.
The strange bird was small and agile, making it very difficult to kill. Before long, everyone's foreheads were covered in fine sweat.
The number of strange birds increased, and they attacked the group in waves, a dark mass of them...
Chen Qingqing was protected tightly by Chu Jiuqing, but the chirping of birds still annoyed her.
The strange bird was very fast, and the group was quickly surrounded. If they were not eliminated in time, they would surely be devoured until only their skeletons remained.
Although she was terrified, she knew the situation was urgent, so she forced herself to calm down, focused her mind on the spatial dimension, and quickly searched for the flamethrower on the panel...
She wasn't disappointed; these trading systems all have them.
Chen Qingqing smiled and bought two military-grade flamethrowers without hesitation.
The flames from this flamethrower reach temperatures of 800 to 1300 degrees Celsius and have a range of 40 to 50 meters, making it incredibly easy to deal with these strange birds.
"Everyone move aside and hide behind me."
Although Chu Jiuqing didn't know what Chen Qingqing was going to do, he knew that Chen Qingqing's abilities were beyond his imagination, so he retreated behind her without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chasing the Wind and Moon quickly moved to the side.
Chen Qingqing gripped the flamethrower, struck a spark, ignited it, and unleashed flames at the strange bird in the air.
The scorching flames instantly burned a huge hole in the surrounding strange birds.
Then it spun around and quickly burned the strange bird to ashes.
The strange birds in the distance realized what was happening and flapped their wings, fleeing in panic...
Chu Jiuqing frowned, scrutinizing Chen Qingqing. What kind of strange thing was this, with such great power? If it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a devastating blow to their Great Ning Dynasty.
"Qing girl, what is that fire-breathing thing?"
Chen Qingqing glanced sideways and saw Chu Jiuqing's inquisitive look, knowing that he was interested in the flamethrower in her hand.
No wonder, in the era of cold weapons, whoever possessed this would be invincible on the battlefield.
However, she will not break the balance of this world.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, her face completely at ease. "Fire, ah, all things fear fire, and I think this strange bird is no exception. I had some kind of fire-starting kit in my backpack, and it just came in handy."
Chu Jiuqing smiled and didn't press the matter further. This girl was kind-hearted; although many of the things she did were things he had never heard of or seen before, they were all beneficial to people.
If she pressed for details, she might feel that she didn't trust her, so she kept her questions to herself.
Just as the group was about to leave, Zi You's sinister voice rang out, "You brat, how dare you hurt my Golden Flame Soul-Eating Crow! You're really tired of living!"
"Zi You, if you want to fight, then fight me fair and square. What kind of skill is it to use poison?" Chu Jiuqing's voice was icy.
"Hahaha... Your Highness Prince Ning, don't think you can act with impunity just because you have a female physician by your side."
She injured my 'Golden Flame Soul-Eating Crow' today, so she can forget about leaving this dense forest alive.
"If you kill her now, I naturally won't make things difficult for you; otherwise, you will also die a horrible death!"
"You're courting death." Chu Jiuqing said, leaping into the air and speeding towards the direction of the voice.
Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious, "When Xiaoyu comes back, don't fall for her tricks."
"You're something else. Come on, try and chase me if you dare!" After Zi You finished speaking, there was no more sound from the woods.
Chu Jiuqing frowned more and more. They had already been stuck in this dense forest for half a day and had to leave as soon as possible.
Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, who were rushing over, said, "This forest is too strange. Let's get out of here quickly."
As soon as Chu Jiuqing finished speaking, he felt a violent tremor beneath his feet, followed by the shaking of the large trees.
Zhu Yue's face was filled with horror. "What's going on?"
Chu Jiuqing knew this must be Zi You's doing again, and shouted a warning, "Everyone be careful!"
Just as everyone was ready, a huge python emerged from the nearby woods. Its body was as thick as a water bucket, its triangular head held high, its long tongue flicking out.
Everyone felt their scalp tingle.
Chen Qingqing was also startled. My God! How could there be such a huge python in this world!
This one is even bigger than the one we encountered in Wolf Valley; all of them probably wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.
Just then, the python suddenly opened its blood-red maw and pounced on the group.
Everyone quickly dodged, and the python missed its target.
Without thinking twice, Chen Qingqing quickly took out a packet of special snake-repelling powder from her spatial storage and sprinkled it on the python.
The powder dispersed in the air, forming a cloud of smoke.
The python smelled the powder and frantically swerved to the side.
Just when everyone thought the python would run away, it suddenly twisted its body and swept its tail across.
Chasing the wind and chasing the moon were unable to dodge in time and were swept to the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Jiuqing frowned deeply. "Damn it, I'm going to get rid of you, you beast!"
Chen Qingqing hurriedly reminded loudly, "Little Fish, strike the python at its vital spot."
Chu Jiuqing nodded, leaped into the air, and thrust his giant sword toward the python's vital spot.
The python seemed to sense the danger and tried to escape, but Chu Jiuqing was too fast and stabbed it with his sword.
The python was in pain and its body writhed violently. After a short while, it became still.
Zhu Yue let out a long sigh and couldn't help but say, "Zi You can actually tame strange birds and control pythons; she's simply not human."
Chu Jiuqing's expression was solemn. "Everyone, don't let your guard down. Keep moving forward."
The group didn't dare to delay, and they walked forward, protecting Chen Qingqing in the middle.
The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding woods rustled in the wind, adding to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Chu Jiuqing looked up at the sky, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
Zi You is cunning and elusive; she might be setting another trap ahead.
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. For safety's sake, we must find a place to rest and wait until dawn before continuing our journey.
Having made up his mind, he whispered, "The woods are even more dangerous at night. Since we don't know where Ziyou is hiding, let's find a safe place to stay as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening."
Zhui Feng said, "Your Highness, once we leave this forest, there is an abandoned ancient temple not far ahead. We can rest there for the night and continue our journey at dawn tomorrow."
