The system floated in the air, thinking for a long time.

In the end, between being destroyed if the mission was not completed and using up his own hidden backup energy to revive Zhao Yanran, he chose the latter.

There's nothing I can do about it. This is the host I chose.

Their fates are linked, and if Zhao Yanran really dies here, it will also be destroyed.

Looking at the completely broken body of Zhao Yanran in the belly of the Green-Eyed Teng Snake, the system reluctantly floated over and extracted Zhao Yanran's soul from her body.

"Host, your current points are 1,762. I will rebuild a body for you. You can use all your points to redeem a resurrection item. After using the item, you can be resurrected in this body."

Zhao Yanran, who was originally in a daze, suddenly woke up after hearing the word "resurrection". She did not dare to hesitate for a moment and hurriedly said, "I'll change! I'll change!"

Then, under Zhao Yanran's anxious gaze, the ball of light floating beside her suddenly became brighter, and after the dazzling white light, the ball of light gradually became dim.

The system's tired voice came from inside: "Okay."

Zhao Yanran frowned and looked over. She saw a body made of mud appear on the ground. The body was made very roughly, and not only could the facial features not be seen clearly, but even the limbs were not the same length.

Maybe he felt that with the system's backup, his resurrection was a sure thing.

Zhao Yanran looked at the ugly body and curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "You spent so much effort to make such an ugly thing? And you even spent all my points. You are so useless."

The system just felt like there was a fire burning in its heart. It consumed all its energy to buy Zhao Yanran a chance to resurrect, but she not only didn't appreciate it, but also despised it?

What right does she have to despise?

"Love or not, if you weren't so stupid and woke up the Teng Snake, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort to revive you!"

"That's because someone was plotting against me. Besides, if you had saved me just now, I wouldn't need you to revive me now!"

The system's voice suddenly turned cold: "In that case, then you should continue to stay in Teng Snake's belly!"

The next moment, Zhao Yanran's soul seemed to be torn apart and kept falling down. Zhao Yanran screamed in fear. Seeing that she was about to pass through the bloody mouth of the Teng Snake and fall into its stomach again, Zhao Yanran finally panicked and said repeatedly:

"No! I am willing! I am willing to accept any body I have!"

The soul stopped falling, and Zhao Yanran looked at the Teng Snake that was so close to her with lingering fear, and patted her chest as if she had survived a calamity.

Realizing that the system was not as easy to talk to as before, Zhao Yanran approached the ball of light in the air in a flattering manner.

"This body is great and I like it very much. As long as I can be resurrected, I can accept any body."

"System, what should I do now to revive?"

"There are a total of twenty-three Qingyun Sect disciples entering the Jingyue Secret Realm this time, and seven of them have a favorable impression of you of more than ninety."

"After you redeem the item for the resurrection, you will automatically be matched with the disciple closest to you. You will naturally know what to do when the time comes."

"Before entering a new body, your soul cannot leave your original body too far. You'd better listen to me this time, otherwise you will die in the stomach of the Teng Snake!"

After the system finished speaking, it disappeared with a "bang".

The Teng Snake had already calmed down. In order to heal its own injuries, it had almost used up all the spiritual herbs and the small piece of green vine near the swamp. At this moment, it was coiled in the swamp to heal its wounds.

After hearing what the system said, Zhao Yanran floated in the air and dared not move. She didn't know where the system had gone, so she could only wait here as the system said.

The only thing she was thankful for at this moment was that Teng Snake couldn't see her, but even so, she didn't dare to get close to Teng Snake, nor did she dare to stay too far away from Teng Snake. She felt very uncomfortable floating in the air with her body stiff.

Sheng He was squatting on a tree counting spirit stones out of boredom. Two days had passed, and she had counted the spirit stones in her storage bag over and over again more than ten times.

There was no change in the swamp, and the Green-Eyed Teng Snake did not seem to be abnormal either, as it coiled up its body to heal its wounds.

Sheng He thought, he must have lost his mind. Zhao Yanran’s cultivation was not high, so how could she have a chance of survival after being eaten by the Green-Eyed Teng Snake?

She must have died in the belly of the Teng Snake a long time ago.

Sheng He felt relieved and was about to leave when a strange sound suddenly came from the forest.

This voice doesn't sound like that of an animal, nor does it sound like that of a monk.

Instead, he seemed like a mortal without any cultivation.

Sheng He stared closely at the direction where the sound came from. This was a secret place and there was absolutely no way any mortal could appear here.

There must be something strange behind anything that doesn't make sense.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and after a while, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.

Sheng He looked carefully and was surprised to find that the person was an old acquaintance of hers.

The person who came was none other than the direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect's leader, Xu Qingqing.

Sheng He instantly lost the desire to leave and returned to the tree.

Xu Qingqing has always been on good terms with Zhao Yanran, and often helps Zhao Yanran to bully her, openly or secretly.

What's more, Xu Qingqing rushed here not long after Zhao Yanran got into trouble. Xu Qingqing did not have wood spiritual roots, so it was impossible for her to come here just for the green wood vine.

Sheng He absolutely would not believe that this had nothing to do with Zhao Yanran.

Most importantly, Xu Qingqing's behavior was very wrong.

From the moment he saw Xu Qingqing, Sheng He felt something was strange.

Xu Qingqing's footsteps seemed too heavy and too regular.

The footsteps of those who practice Taoism are mostly very light because of the flow of spiritual energy in their bodies. Only ordinary people have such heavy footsteps.

Moreover, Xu Qingqing's limbs were stiff, and every move was like a puppet pulled by strings. Not only did her facial expression not change at all, even her breathing frequency remained the same.

Something is wrong.

How could she hear Xu Qingqing's breathing?

According to common sense, the higher the level of cultivation, the more sensitive the five senses, and the more difficult it is for others to discover themselves.

In other words, Sheng He is now in the middle stage of foundation building, while Xu Qingqing is already in the early stage of golden elixir. It is only possible that Xu Qingqing heard her breathing, and it is absolutely impossible for her to hear Xu Qingqing's breathing.

Sheng He felt uneasy and subconsciously looked towards the Green-Eyed Teng Snake. The Teng Snake did not seem to notice Xu Qingqing approaching and still closed its eyes to heal its wounds.

Xu Qingqing moved closer to the swamp step by step, until finally, Xu Qingqing's footsteps stopped at the shore just one step away from the swamp.

Sheng He frowned and looked at the clay figure at Xu Qingqing's feet. He slowly raised his right hand and tightly grasped the Aoshuang Sword on his back.

She remembered clearly that in the past two days, the shore had been empty and no mud figures had ever appeared.
