A Demon’s Path

Looking from a distance, Qiuxu Mountain is a piece of green, very eye-catching. There are trees with branches like dragon's whiskers everywhere on the mountain, hence the name.

Legend has it that the dragon, a divine beast, came from the soul of a snake, so the most common animal on this mountain is the snake.

Due to the breath of these snakes all year round, there is a thick layer of gray-green poisonous miasma on Qiuxu Mountain.

Ling Xiao quickly fed herself a detox pill, and then said to Shen Mingfang: "Miss Shen, we can go down now."

Shen Mingfang glanced at Ling Xiao angrily: "Why do you only give yourself the pills?"

Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "It's just such a little bit of poison, Miss Shen probably won't take it to heart."

Shen Mingfang sneered: "Okay, with such a small height, our genius spirit master and pharmacist Ling Xiao won't even take it to heart."

Ling Xiao thought to himself: Oops! This time the old hag was pissed off!

Just thinking about how to make up for it, Shen Mingfang didn't give Ling Xiao any chance, and tore off the talisman attached to Ling Xiao's broom with one hand.

"Wow!" Ling Xiao yelled, and even fell down with the broom.

Even though the mountain is hundreds of meters high, the distance in the middle is enough for Ling Xiao to break out in a cold sweat.

Hoo hoo! Ling Xiao quickly summoned four spirits, two supported his feet with his shoulders, and two held Ling Xiao's shoulders with his hands, only then slowed down the speed of descent.

Seeing these "little children" exert all their strength to feed, Ling Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

When it was only tens of meters above the ground, Ling Xiao quickly put away the four coolie kids and jumped down by himself.

Shen Mingfang had been standing on the top of the hill waiting for Ling Xiao, and when she saw him jumping to the ground, she didn't even have time to rest and said, "Let's go, start working."

Ling Xiao was startled: "You found it so soon?"

Shen Mingfang gave Ling Xiao a blank look: "This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, so I can see it all at once. Stop talking nonsense, just follow along."

Ling Xiao followed behind Shen Mingfang, humming secretly as she walked: You are a purple-level powerhouse, so of course you can take a casual glance, but I am not.

But Ling Xiao thinks that following such a strong man has great benefits: at least he doesn't have to do anything by himself, and no one dares to get close to any powerful monsters.

This is probably the so-called fox fake tiger prestige.

The two came to a cliff, Ling Xiao stretched her head out of the cliff, and quickly shrank back in fright.

If it falls, even ten coolies can't hold it back!

Obviously this mountain looks only a few hundred meters high, but the cliff here is bottomless!

"Where's the Millennium Green Snake?" Ling Xiao asked hastily.

Without saying a word, Shen Mingfang grabbed Ling Xiao and jumped to the bottom of the cliff.

Ling Xiao was terrified: Oh my God! You won't be touched by me, just want to pull me to die in love, right?

I don't want to die, I haven't become a real man yet!

No matter what, the jump was over, Ling Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue "jumping".

The head-on wind was blowing at Ling Xiao's face, cutting like a knife, and even his thick skin felt bursts of pain.

The scenery of the two weeks seemed to be moving upwards at high speed, Ling Xiao only had time to take a look before it flashed by.

"Crack!" There was a light and crisp sound of stone breaking, and Ling Xiao finally stopped in mid-air.

He looked up and saw Shen Mingfang's other hand turned into five claws, deeply inserted into the smooth stone wall next to him.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to look down, because he could imagine that the bottom was still bottomless.

On the other hand, he was like a rag hanging in mid-air, which might fall down at any time.

On the half-empty stone wall where they stopped, there is a clearly visible hole.

The hole is not too big, but enough for one person to get in.

Shen Mingfang swung the other hand, and Ling Xiao was thrown into the hole like a sandbag.

"Alas!" Ling Xiao stumbled into the mud, which made him dizzy.

Revenge, blatant revenge.

Ling Xiao knew that Shen Mingfang deliberately made him suffer, and comforted herself: "Women always want to find some face to go back."

Thinking of these, Ling Xiao felt much better.

He stood up and patted the dust on his body very coolly.

However, when he saw a big snake looking at him with green eyes not far away, he couldn't be chic anymore.

The whole body is green, and the hovering snake is about ten meters long, and its waist is as thick as a decades-old tree.

The pair of snake eyes looked at Ling Xiao very unfriendlyly, with scary snake words spitting out of their mouths, it seemed that they were going to treat Ling Xiao as a full meal.

"What a terrible thing!" Ling Xiao's hairs all exploded, and his heart was so cold that it reached the bottom of the thousand-foot ice valley.

Ling Xiao's first reaction was: Shen Mingfang, where did Shen Mingfang go?

Fortunately, when Ling Xiao wanted to turn around and run away, seeing Shen Mingfang standing behind her, she felt at ease.

If Shen Mingfang was not here, Ling Xiao would not be able to escape even if she wanted to, because the cliff was so steep that she couldn't go up to the sky or go down to the ground.

"Should it be this kind of snake?" Shen Mingfang asked casually.

Ling Xiao nodded: "That's right..."

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, Shen Mingfang's figure had already rushed in front of the snake, grabbing the gallbladder part of the snake with one hand and five fingers.

So fast!

Ling Xiao can only describe it as being in a dream, otherwise there is really no way to explain why it happened so quickly.

I thought that Shen Mingfang must be able to catch it with his hands, but unexpectedly, the vision suddenly appeared!

The back of the cave suddenly lit up, and a small purple ball quickly flew towards Shen Mingfang!

Ling Xiao didn't know what this little ball was, but Shen Mingfang did.

"Snake Soul Orb!" Shen Mingfang's expression changed wildly, it was too late to hide, and she hastily released her own Soul Stone.

boom! The two spheres of purple collided together, Ling Xiao only felt purple in front of his eyes, the ground shook, and then he passed out.

I don't know how long it took before Ling Xiao woke up leisurely.

He came here with Shen Mingfang in the afternoon and came to this cave.

It was still bright at that time, and the situation in the cave could still be seen clearly.

And now, it's pitch black.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to light up the fluorescent stone, fearing that the thousand-year-old green snake would find out, so she hurriedly called a few times in a low voice: "Miss Shen...Miss Shen?"

"I...here..." Shen Mingfang's painful groan came from the darkness.

Half of Ling Xiao's heart is at ease temporarily, and the other half is naturally because he can tell that Shen Mingfang is seriously hurt.

"Can I light the lamp?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Um."

With Shen Mingfang's permission, Ling Xiao released a fluorescent stone, illuminating the entire cave.

If this place can still be regarded as a cave.

Ling Xiao looked around in shock, speechless for a while.

There was a mess everywhere, with large and small gravel all over the ground. The air is filled with soil powder, which has not dissipated for a long time.

What was once a good cave has almost collapsed.

Only a small piece of land where Ling Xiao was standing could still maintain the original shape of the cave.

In front of Ling Xiao lay the corpse of the big green snake, killed with one claw, obviously Shen Mingfang succeeded in that blow.

But Ling Xiao couldn't see where Shen Mingfang was!

He wanted to use his mental power to search, but suddenly found that the surrounding area was blocked by a burst of magic, and his mental power couldn't get out!

Ling Xiao was in a hurry: "Miss Shen, where are you, just say a word, and I'll come find you!"

Shen Mingfang spat out two words in a moderately painful voice: "Pig... head!"

This time Ling Xiao heard clearly, and quickly took out the shovel left by the ancestor of the Seven Demons for digging treasures, and dug up a piece of rubble with two or three strokes.

Shen Mingfang fell to the ground, covered in blood. The dirt powder got on her body and stuck to the blood, making the "old beauty" Shen Mingfang dirty.

When Ling Xiao saw Shen Mingfang's injury thoroughly, she couldn't help but gasped.

There were many wounds on Shen Mingfang's body, which could be described as bruises!

It's such a mess here, but there's nothing wrong with me.

Ling Xiao knew without thinking, that formation was used by Shen Mingfang to protect herself in desperation.

For no reason, Ling Xiao was moved in his heart.

Even if the other party wants to use him, he can still think about saving himself in such a critical situation. This kind of kindness cannot be wiped out with just two words.

At the same time, Ling Xiao scolded herself severely: It's useless to have a woman to protect you, it's really embarrassing!
