Ji Jiuying frowned: "Feng Yu?"
Xiao Huang'er nodded and told Ji Jiuying everything that had happened.
"Qi Feng lost to Feng Yu in the secret realm, so he must be unable to swallow his pride. He has taken advantage of others in his time of need before, so it's not surprising that someone like him would do something like this."
At this moment.
"Cousin Lanxi!"
Ji Jiuying looked toward the source of the sound and saw Feng Yu walking over from not far away.
"Cousin Lanxi, why are you alone?"
"Aren't you alone too?" Ji Jiuying retorted.
“I got separated from them. This must be Lanxi’s first time in the Xianfeng Mountains. Why don’t we go together so we can look after each other?”
"No need, I'm used to being alone."
Ji Jiuying refused without even thinking. What a joke! If he followed her, how could she possibly perform?
"Okay, alright." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xiao Huang'er.
Feng Yu was puzzled. As far as he knew, spirit beasts inside the Fengyun Secret Realm could not be brought out. Could it be that this little bird was not a spirit beast from the Fengyun Secret Realm?
"Cousin Lanxi, is this bird yours?"
Ji Jiuying nodded: "Yes."
Feng Yu then understood why the bird had followed Lan Zhao, but judging from Lan Zhao's reaction at the time, it seemed that she did not know that the bird belonged to her.
"If it weren't for it, I'd probably be the one Qi Feng and the others have tricked me by now. These spirit beast cores are what I got these past two days. Consider it a way to repay my cousin Lan Xi and this little guy for saving my life."
As Feng Yu spoke, he took out a storage bag containing spirit beast cores.
Ji Jiuying took the storage bag from his hand, then grabbed a handful of spirit beast cores and placed them in front of Xiao Huang'er. Xiao Huang'er swallowed all the spirit beast cores in one gulp. Feng Yu clicked his tongue, not expecting that this bird would actually eat spirit beast cores.
"Alright, that's enough. You can take the rest."
Ji Jiuying tossed the storage bag to Feng Yu, her tone indifferent. Feng Yu caught the storage bag, watched the departing figure, and chased after it.
"Wait...wait a minute."
Feng Yu caught up, panting, and said, "Because of what just happened, Qi Feng will definitely not let this little guy go. If he finds out that this bird is yours, he might do something bad to you. Be careful of him!"
"Okay, I understand!"
She turned and left, but Ji Jiuying, who hadn't gone far, sensed something and frowned. Didn't she say she preferred to act alone? Why was she following her?
Fine, fine, let him follow if he wants, as long as he doesn't bother her, everything is fine.
In the Xianfeng Mountains.
Ji Jiuying was gone for three days. During these days, she kept killing spirit beasts. Even Feng Yu, who was following behind her, was stunned. The smell of blood was so strong that spirit beasts below level eight would avoid her. As a result, she had not been able to find any high-level spirit beasts for half a day.
At this moment, Feng Yu finally couldn't help but step forward: "Cousin Lanxi, I know where there are spirit beasts of level nine or above."
"You finally decided to come out? I thought you didn't need any training!"
"It wasn't that seeing you alone was unsafe... Now it seems I was overthinking it."
"Alright, now that we know where there are level nine spirit beasts, let's go." She's almost tired of killing level eight spirit beasts these past few days, and they're not challenging at all.
Soon, after following Feng Yu for more than an hour, they finally arrived at a clearing where the grass was taller than a person. Yes, it was a clearing, and there were no trees in sight.
Ji Jiuying was very suspicious that Feng Yu had led her astray, until Xiao Huang'er's voice came: "Mother, there are two level nine giant pythons fifty meters to the southwest."
“Cousin Lanxi, don’t be fooled by how desolate this open space looks; it’s a favorite spot for level nine spirit beasts,” Feng Yu said.
"I understand. There are two level-nine giant pythons just fifteen meters to our southwest. How about we each take one?"
Upon hearing Ji Jiuying's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Yu's eyes. How did she know there was a giant python in that direction?
"good······"
Feng Yu nodded, and the two of them took flight in the direction Xiao Huang'er had indicated. Sure enough, two giant pythons appeared in their sight. The pythons were as big as water tanks and were leisurely basking in the sun on the ground.
Seemingly sensing something, one of them raised its head, its forked tongue hissing. The other snake also raised its head, looking in the direction of Ji Jiuying and Feng Yu. Its dark eyes gleamed fiercely, and two fangs were exposed at the corners of its mouth, making it look sinister and terrifying. If one were bitten by those two fangs, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two pythons coiled up, their huge heads raised high, as if warning them to leave their territory.
But Ji Jiuying and her companion remained unmoved. They exchanged a glance and flew in different directions, each of them encountering a giant python.
The two level-nine giant pythons remained in place, seemingly protecting something beneath them. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes.
The giant python sensed the two's intentions and released the pressure of a level nine spirit beast. Feng Yu frowned, but Ji Jiuying remained unmoved, which completely enraged the level nine giant python.
"Idiot, come and kill me."
A black sword appeared in Ji Jiuying's hand, and she continued to provoke the level nine giant python.
The level nine python was enraged. It opened its blood-red maw and attacked Ji Jiuying. Green liquid spewed from the python's mouth, which instantly released a toxic fumes into the grass. The hissing sound was chilling.
Feng Yu's lips twitched slightly; Lan Xi was far too audacious.
The other python also launched a fierce attack on Feng Yu. After both pythons left, Ji Jiuying gave Xiao Huang'er a wink, and Xiao Huang'er instantly understood what Ji Jiuying meant.
The petite figure moved closer and closer to the python's cave entrance through the grass, quietly hiding inside.
"Little Phoenix, be careful."
"Yes, Mother."
After saying that, Xiao Huang'er's figure disappeared at the cave entrance.
Ji Jiuying and Feng Yu focused on dealing with the level nine giant python. This battle was much more intense than the previous ones, and almost no one would come to this wasteland unless an academy sent a group. If the two of them were to lose, their only fate would be death.
A strong wind rose, and the sounds of guns clashing and the howling wind filled the air.
Before long, Ji Jiuying's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and strands of hair clung to her small face, but she remained unmoved, her eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.
Each time she challenges a spirit beast of level nine or higher, her cultivation level becomes much more stable, and her combat skills also improve significantly. This is why she enjoys challenging high-level spirit beasts.
Although I can't beat them every time, it's really challenging.
While dealing with the level nine giant python, Feng Yu also had to spare some attention for Ji Jiuying, which made his battle much more difficult.
Ji Jiuying's face was tense, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. She snorted coldly, "You still dare to be distracted when facing a level nine spirit beast? Do you know that a moment of distraction could give your opponent an opportunity to take advantage of you and plunge you into an abyss of no return?"
Ji Jiuying's voice drifted over, and Feng Yu withdrew his gaze. She knew? Could it be that her strength surpassed his?
