Walking into the miasma, Gu Ning felt his heart tighten even more. Even though they had taken detoxification pills and put on shielding veils, the pervasive miasma still penetrated into their mouths and noses.

"Everyone be careful, this miasma is weird."

Just as Meng Jia finished his words, a black and blue six-legged spider suddenly fell from the sky and pounced on Meng Jia's face in an instant.

"Big Brother..."

Before he could finish his words, the colorful little flower snake stuck out its bright red tongue, and the black spider, which was spitting poisonous silk and showing its fangs and claws, was instantly sucked into its mouth.

The little flower snake hissed twice, and the poisonous creatures around it immediately retracted their claws and pincers, and shrank obediently in their own positions, watching the delicious "food" pass by without moving.

This is the territory of the beauty snake clan, so of course we have to abide by the rules here.

The colorful little snake stuck out its tongue at Meng Jia as if asking for credit.

"Very impressive." Meng Jia praised generously and touched the head of the colorful little flower snake.

Although these little creatures had all become well-behaved, the miasma was still a big problem. In just a quarter of an hour, they changed their veils three times and took detoxification pills three times.

Finally, when Gu Ning and the others were about to give up, the miasma gradually dissipated, and a few rays of sunlight luckily fell into the woods, adding some mysterious light and shadow to this dark world.

"We're almost there." Birou looked at them encouragingly, "We're going to face the demons directly next."

Rather than encouraging Gu Ning and others, it was more like convincing herself.

Seeing this, the colorful little snake quickly curled up and hid in Meng Jia's sleeve.

Several people approached silently and stopped when they were still dozens of meters away.

The scene before them made everyone open their eyes wide.

In this mottled forest, an unusually thick ancient tree stands out. On its trunk, dense snake shadows and human figures are intertwined.

Dozens of people were hung up, their limbs hanging limply, their faces filled with despair and fear. The pale faces and the bright red blood formed a sharp contrast. Drops of blood "tick-tock" struck in their hearts.

The hung snakes were colorful, strong and wild. Unfortunately, such ferocious snakes were dying and tied up tightly, just like specimens that had been drained of blood.

"Mother, Father..." Seeing the highest and most central place, Birou's eyes suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to rush out, but Gu Ning grabbed her back and pressed Birou to his side.

"Hush, we haven't seen any demons." She was an outsider, and although she was shocked, she was still able to stay rational. "We have to know their purpose first before we can save people."

Birou's mouth was covered tightly, tears fell from her beautiful green eyes, and she nodded with soft sobs.

On top of the ancient tree, a man barely opened his eyes, a hint of surprise and fear flashed in his eyes. He just lowered his eyes and glanced at it quietly, then subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

His daughter...really came back.

But... it's no use coming back, these people are devils, how can his daughter beat them...

Despair flowed in his heart, and suddenly an arrow hit his shoulder with a "whoosh". The severe pain made him gasp.

"What do you want?" He clenched his fists and said with hatred, "We are just living in a corner, hiding in this secret place in the vast sea. We have nothing to do with you demons."

The leading woman smiled slightly. A mask covering her baby face completely concealed her. She only spoke calmly, "What do you want? Don't you know?"

After hearing this voice, Gu Ning blinked.

Why...it feels a little familiar?

I seem to have heard this voice somewhere before...

"The Beauty Snake Clan is a race that is equally blessed by the heavens as the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. They can transform at birth and are not affected by any poison in the world." The woman's voice was indifferent, "And all this is just because of the ancient spirit Qingming that flows in your blood."

The hung man stopped talking. Another demon cultivator respectfully walked up to the woman and reported, "Goddess, no trace of the ancient spirit Qingming was found."

"Oh?" The woman tilted her head, "It seems that you are not honest..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and two more arrows shot at the man, nailing his arms to the ancient tree.

As the blood began to flow, the woman spoke again, her tone was grim, "This is your last chance. Whose body is your ancient spirit Qingming in?"

Arrows emitting a cold and dim light appeared one after another. The woman said excitedly, "Although I don't have spirit essence, I might be able to refine it with your blood essence~"

"My patience is running out, say, who's not here?!"

She suddenly roared, but was met with endless silence. All the beautiful snakes remained silent, some even rolled their eyes, and some snakes stuck out their tongues.

Birou whimpered, her eyes completely red.

Gu Ning and the others also understood that the ancient spirit Qingming was probably in Birou's body.

The ancient spirit Qingming was nurtured among the stars. In ancient times, the gods bestowed it on the Sky-Swallowing Python clan, allowing them to be reborn and practice like monks, making rapid progress every day.

Legend has it that if this item is integrated into one's own cultivation, it can greatly increase the practitioner's spiritual sensitivity and double the speed of cultivation. The mysteries that originally took decades to comprehend can be understood overnight.

To put it bluntly, this is a supreme holy item that can improve one's spiritual roots against all odds.

And this thing is actually hidden among the reclusive beauty snake clan.

Just now, when the man opened his mouth in pain, he opened his mouth silently towards several people.

"go!"

At the moment when the arrow was drawn, the woman lost all patience and shouted, "Shoot!"

"No!" In an instant, Birou pried Gu Ning's hands apart and screamed, stumbling forward, with colorful streams of spiritual power hitting the woman's face.

The woman dodged and looked at Birou with a smile in her eyes, "Oh, little mouse, you finally came out. I thought you were going to hide for a long time?"

Her voice was charming, and she looked even more charming than Birou. She looked towards Gu Ning and the others, "Come out, little mice."

Being discovered was also expected. Gu Ning jumped out leisurely and stared at the woman without blinking, "Who are you?"

The voice was so familiar, but she couldn't remember it.

Seeing Gu Ning, the woman's pupils shrank suddenly. She subconsciously took two steps back and forced herself to stop.

"A disciple of Mingyue Sect is actually hanging out with monsters?" She said in a cold tone, a bit angry, "Is this how you become a disciple?"

Gu Ning: “???”
