Everyone was a bit puzzled. "Why has the qilin suddenly stopped attacking us?"
"Don't let your guard down..." Song Jinyu felt quite pained about the spiritual herbs in her hand. She gave a signal to Yan Fei and the others, and they slowly retreated.
It was a pity that the qilin, which had been as docile as a kitten after eating the spiritual herbs, suddenly let out a howl.
"Roar..."
"Run! This thing turns on us right after getting what it wants..."
Song Jinyu quickly ran to one side. Unexpectedly, although the qilin didn't chase them, it seemed to gain some intelligence and ran further away.
It was as if it had seen something extraordinary.
Sure enough, the next moment, Song Jinyu almost burst into tears!
Because she suddenly found herself seemingly in another world.
There was no one around, and the hot spring beside her was bubbling.
"Yan Fei?"
"Chen Song, Niaoniao?"
"Mi Cui, where have you all gone?"
She had anticipated countless perils on this journey. Even though she had made full preparations, she never expected to encounter such a situation.
This situation reminded her of the time when she was affected by the Illusory Ghost Flower. So, she didn't dare to be careless.
She gently reached out to test the water in the hot spring. The pool was very clear and clean, and she could see to the bottom at a glance.
The water temperature was just right. She was a bit tired, so she walked into the pool fully clothed and sat down to observe carefully.
Having practiced martial arts all year round, Yan Fei's senses were more sensitive than ordinary people. When the qilin triggered the mechanism, his first reaction was to grab Song Jinyu's hand, but unfortunately...
The change was too sudden. Although no one else realized what had happened, Yan Fei knew that they had fallen into a trap.
To be honest, the place with the Longyin Grass was like a large turntable, and they were right on it. After the mechanism was triggered, they were instantly sent into different spaces.
He touched the smooth and warm wall and couldn't help but be stunned.
What was this? The wet feeling was not pleasant at all. After walking a few meters forward, Yan Fei saw clearly that it was actually a huge snake!
It was dozens of meters long and completely crimson. At the moment, it was resting with its forked tongue flickering. As if sensing the subtle fluctuations in the air, it slowly opened its eyes and slowly moved its massive body, searching back and forth.
Yan Fei immediately groaned inwardly. He was already seriously injured. Now he had fallen into the jaws of the snake, and it seemed that his life was not long. There were plenty of skeletons in this cave, and a tough battle was inevitable.
Just as he was about to throw out his "Flying Sky Chain", suddenly someone blocked him. "Sir, please calm down!"
A few people walked over from a distance. The man in the lead was sitting in a chair. He was a young master in gorgeous clothes, with a handsome face, a slender figure, and an extraordinary aura.
He smiled faintly and said, "If you fight it head - on, you may end up dead and your soul dissipated."
"We can only outsmart it."
Seeing that his expression was calm, Yan Fei guessed that he knew some secret techniques. "Since the young master has spoken, I'll see your skills then."
The big snake obviously noticed their movements. It turned around, hissing with its forked tongue. Its red eyes, as big as lanterns, widened, and it raised its neck, glaring fiercely at the people below like ants.
The young master was unhurried. He took out a jade flute. The beautiful and melodious sound of the flute made people feel drowsy. Yan Fei used his internal energy to resist the influence. However, he still felt a splitting headache.
At first, the big snake didn't seem to be affected, but gradually it became restless.
As the sound of the flute became more and more gentle, its body gradually relaxed, and its raised head slowly drooped. Its eyes became heavier and heavier.
Seize the opportunity when it's weak!
The strong man beside the young master immediately leaped into the air. The fast sword in his hand made a beautiful sword flower.
In an instant, the sword was inserted into the snake's head, killing it with one strike. Another person used a special tool to dig out the huge snake gall.
The snake gall was golden - yellow, faintly glowing with colorful light.
"Sir, although you arrived first, this snake gall is useful to me, so I can't yield it." The young master said politely.
Yan Fei clasped his fists in salute and said no more. He never intended to take the snake gall in the first place.
"I'm Xiao Xueyi, the master of the Tingran Pavilion. May I ask your name, sir..."
"Yan Fei, a disciple of Tianmen Mountain." Seeing that he came well - prepared, Yan Fei wanted to leave.
The Tingran Pavilion was known as the encyclopedia of the martial world. Xiao Xueyi had naturally heard of Yan Fei's name. "Hero Yan, how about we travel together?"
"You're seriously injured now, and there are still many dangers ahead."
The Tingran Pavilion? Although it wasn't very famous in the martial world, it had done a few things that had shaken the martial world. Seeing his great enthusiasm, Yan Fei didn't decline anymore.
These people must know a great deal about this blessed land. Otherwise, how could they take out such precious treasures? He looked at Xiao Xueyi's jade flute and thought deeply.
Xiao Xueyi was also very surprised. Why were people from Tianmen Mountain here? Had they already taken the treasures?
But in the previous situation, Yan Fei didn't show any covetousness for the fire snake gall.
Chen Song, Niaoniao, and Mi Cui fell into another cave. The three of them traveled together. They found a military classic from a previous dynasty called "Yunzi's Military Canon" and then went to look for an exit.
As for Song Jinyu, she had a great soak in the hot - spring pool. By the time Yan Fei found her, she was almost asleep.
"Yuer, why are you here?"
After waking up slowly, she saw many people behind Yan Fei. She panicked and squatted in the pool, not daring to get up. Yan Fei blocked the view for her, allowing her to get out of the pool from the other side and change her clothes in hiding.
"Who is this young lady..."
Xiao Xueyi was amazed by the fleeting glimpse of her. He had seen many beautiful women, but he had never seen one as charming and gentle as Song Jinyu. Her bright eyes were full of charm. She was truly as charming as a peach in spring and as pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn.
The innocence of the young girl radiated a lively beauty in her charm. Her swan - like neck had fair skin like jade, making people forget the vulgar world.
Everyone looked up and was stunned by the girl's peerless beauty.
"Song Jinyu pays respects to Young Master Xiao." Yan Fei told her Xiao Xueyi's identity.
She stepped forward generously to pay her respects and then hid behind Yan Fei, peeping at the young master in the wheelchair from time to time.
Seeing that although he had a handsome face, he was also physically weak. Although Yan Fei also had a fair complexion, he was healthy. She couldn't help but feel pity for him.
"Miss Song and Young Master Yan are together. May I ask what brings you two here?" Xiao Xueyi asked with a smile.
Yan Fei was just about to find an excuse to get rid of him, but unexpectedly, Song Jinyu spoke up. "We came here to look for herbs and accidentally entered this strange place."
Well, this saved them from being speculated about.
"Cough, cough, cough..." After a fit of coughing, Xiao Xueyi's smile deepened. This girl was very smart.
"Since we've all accidentally entered this place, let's travel together."
Song Jinyu didn't want to travel with strangers and was just about to decline, but Yan Fei agreed.
As they walked together, "There's still no sign of Chen Song and the others!"
Yan Fei whispered, "This person is extraordinary and a well - known figure in the martial world. We can only act according to the situation."
Don't be fooled by Xiao Xueyi's gentle smile now. In fact, he was very scheming. Song Jinyu didn't dare to slack off and had no choice but to follow along.
