He Qingfeng came prepared.

Chu Ying's total score was currently two points higher than his, and he had already established his foundation earlier. If he wanted to win, he had to get a perfect score in the third round.

Moreover, just yesterday, the head of the fifth peak had already given the meeting gift to He Qingfeng in advance.

It was a high-level weapon, called the Flame Twin Blades. Its blades burned like flames, emitting a fiery blaze when wielded. Furthermore, He Qingfeng possessed a single, top-grade spiritual root of the fire attribute, so this weapon could achieve twice the result with half the effort. This gave him the confidence to take the risk and enter the Heart-Eating Abyss.

After all, this is a secret realm, and the more dangerous the place, the more high-level monsters there are. As long as I can kill a sixth-level monster, I can get full points.

However...he never dreamed that the first thing he would encounter would be a seventh-level magical beast!

Although there is only one level difference between the seventh level and the sixth level, the gap in power is not small.

Moreover, when the Warcraft evolves to the seventh level, it will become intelligent and able to speak human language.

I saw the underground lava beast in front of me. It was as big as a mountain, covered with hot rocks, and its hot breath hit me in the face.

It slowly crawled towards He Qingfeng, and a low voice sounded, saying, "Young man, you exude an alluring fragrance, a rich aroma of fire spirit roots. If I could eat you, I would surely be able to nourish myself greatly.

He Qingfeng was so frightened by the lava beast in front of him that he could not move... His heart sank suddenly, and fear instantly hit him, and he was at a loss...

How could this happen? How could I encounter a seventh-level monster? Am I going to die here?

It's all Chu Ying's fault! If it weren't for the desire to defeat her, I wouldn't have come to such a dangerous place! That woman is simply my nemesis!

"Ah-"

In the poisonous fog forest, Chu Ying sneezed loudly.

She immediately complained, "Really? I sneezed right after getting the snake gallbladder. It must be that He Qingfeng cursing me."

After saying that, Chu Ying took another look at the snake gallbladder wrapped in her torn dress and asked Jiang Yingxue, "By the way, what level of monster is the Senluo Qinghe you mentioned?"

Jiang Yingxue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied: "I don't know, but there are two that can talk, I think they should be at least level seven."

"Level 7!?" Chu Ying stopped in her tracks, shaking her head like a rattle, looking a little flustered. "I felt like that snake was almost killing me. If another Level 7 comes along, we'll both be dead for sure!"

Jiang Yingxue glared at Chu Ying: "You haven't even seen him yet, how can you say he's dead for sure?"

"The monsters are extremely ferocious and will kill anyone they see. Moreover, they can be very nourished by eating people with cultivation. If they see the two of us, they will definitely eat us."

Jiang Yingxue immediately explained the situation to her, "Don't worry. Magical beasts above the seventh level are all intelligent. They wouldn't be so foolish as to eat humans. Think about it, this is the back mountain of Xianyun Sect. If an intelligent magical beast knew we were disciples of Xianyun Sect and still ate us, wouldn't it be afraid of retaliation from Xianyun Sect?"

"That makes sense." Chu Ying nodded, her fear slightly eased. But then, she fell into a new worry: "But if it doesn't mean any harm to us and doesn't intend to eat us, wouldn't it be a bad idea to just kill it and take its magic stone? After all, it's already intelligent, so doing so seems a bit cruel."

"Who said we're going to take its magic stone?" Jiang Yingxue said lightly, "We're going to conquer it, not to take its life. So everything can be discussed."

Jiang Yingxue's eyes were as bright as stars. She smiled slightly and then pointed at the snake gallbladder in Chu Ying's hand: "We have prepared the gifts for meeting you. Of course, we will discuss it carefully."

"Hmm? What to discuss?" Chu Ying blinked curiously.

"I'll sign a contract with you and become your spirit beast." Jiang Yingxue said this in a casual tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. However, Chu Ying, who was following behind her, was stunned and stopped in her tracks.

"Wait, what did you say!? My spirit beast!? Me? I just established my foundation, how can I have a spirit beast!?" Chu Ying pointed at herself, still finding it hard to believe what Jiang Yingxue said.

Getting a demon beast to recognize its master is not an easy task. They like to submit to the strong, so if you want to make a contract with a spirit beast, you either have to do it when it is young, or become an absolutely strong person to make the other party submit.

However, it costs a lot to train a young magical beast into an outstanding spiritual beast, so people tend to prefer the latter. This is why people usually only form a spiritual beast after the Jindan stage.

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "Yes, Senluo Qinghe is a wood-attributed monster, suitable for you."

"But it's a seventh-level magical beast. How could it possibly be interested in me, a person who just established his foundation?"

"Let's try it first. How will we know if we don't try? Let's go. The sun will set if we don't leave now." After saying that, Jiang Yingxue dragged Chu Ying to continue to the lake.

The two walked for a while and finally arrived at the central lake of the Poison Mist Forest.

The lake, like a mirror, reflects the surrounding tall trees and the azure sky. A thin mist drifts across the surface, a gentle breeze bringing bursts of fresh air. Surrounding the lake is lush vegetation, with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants blooming, exuding a refreshing fragrance...

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene here is completely different from the scene in the jungle just now, and even gives people a feeling of fairyland.

Chu Ying looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her excitedly and exclaimed: "Wow, this place is so beautiful. Does Senluo Qinghe live in a place like this?"

"Well, logically speaking, it should be nearby. And the Qinghe is a gregarious magical beast, so how come there is not even a shadow of it..."

"Hey Yingxue, look! Are those Senluo Qinghe's eggs?"

Jiang Yingxue looked in the direction Chu Ying pointed and saw a nest of eggs quietly lying in a patch of soft grass. The eggshells were a pale green, shimmering faintly like jadeite brimming with life. Each egg was about the size of three adult fists, its surface smooth as porcelain, occasionally gleaming with subtle light, as if breathing life. Even more peculiar, a thin layer of spiritual energy lingered around the eggs...

Jiang Yingxue's lips curved up immediately. "Yes, they are Qinghe eggs. It seems we have found the right place. However, Senluo Qinghe is extremely protective of its young, so it's better for us to stay away from that nest of eggs. Let's sit and wait and see."

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue turned around and pulled Chu Ying away from the egg nest.

Chu Ying followed Jiang Yingxue's footsteps, looking back and wondering, "But if those Senluo Qinghe see that their eggs are gone and they see us here, will they think we stole them?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yingxue immediately had a bad feeling and quickly stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Look, those snakes behind the nest seem to be planning to steal the eggs."
