Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Five snakes shot straight at the group like arrows. Two of them were large and had mottled blue and white markings, with triangular heads and scarlet tongues, making them look quite ferocious. The other three were a black snake over ten feet long with a body like black iron and phosphorescent light; a blood-red snake with a body like a red thread, which was only a foot or so long; and the last one was snow-white with yellow spots and was very inconspicuous.

Upon seeing these snakes approach, the Purple-Striped Spirit Serpent flicked its red tongue, making a "hissing" sound, and raised its head and curved its neck, seemingly not taking the strange snakes in front of it seriously!

The five strange snakes had also gained some intelligence. Seeing the little purple-striped snake in front of them so arrogant, they all raised their heads, spitting out their scarlet tongues menacingly, showing rather ill intentions.

The people behind the beautiful woman changed their expressions when they saw the five strange snakes in front of them, but the beautiful woman at the front remained calm and composed, seemingly quite confident in the purple-striped spirit snake.

At this moment, the spirit snake in front of them exhaled a breath of purple smoke, and the purple smoke turned the ground into a dark yellow color!

The five strange snakes that had rushed over seemed to sense a great threat. With a powerful flick of their tails, they leaped several feet away before cautiously looking back, occasionally flicking their red tongues as if hesitating about something.

The purple smoke exhaled by the spirit snake did not dissipate; it simply enveloped the spirit snake's entire body, leaving the five strange snakes helpless.

Just as the snakes hesitated, the beautiful woman in front of them suddenly made a hand gesture, put it to her mouth, and let out a few sharp, urgent cries, as if urging them to do something.

As a sharp cry rang out, a mournful wail echoed from within the swirling purple mist.

Upon hearing the "whooshing" sound, the five strange snakes flicked their tongues at each other. Suddenly, the giant black python in the middle swung its tail, kicking up countless grains of sand. With a "whoosh" sound, it disappeared into the distance, its shadow vanishing from sight.

Only the remaining four strange snakes stood in front of them, blocking their way. No matter how much the purple-striped spirit snake urged or threatened them, they refused to budge an inch!

In the tranquil, fairyland-like inner valley, a raging fire blazes in one corner, keeping the thick, cold mist at bay.

The boy by the fire twitched his tightly closed eyes, his fingers trembled slightly, and beneath his pale, bloodless skin, a bluish-gold light rapidly flowed, gradually restoring a rosy hue to his complexion.

For the past few days, Li Xingzhi has been on the run from a giant golden sword, not even having time to think about why the sword was chasing him! Several times, just as the golden sword was about to strike him, a giant green vine would slap the sword away, allowing him to escape death!

However, after running for several days and nights, at this moment, he could no longer control his heavy legs and fell heavily to the ground, only able to watch helplessly as the giant sword slashed down at him!

He was already exhausted, his body limp and not like his own; looking at the golden sword that was only three inches above his head, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Is it finally going to end?

Suddenly, the tightly closed door in his mind seemed to be pried open, and countless things flashed through his mind. Hopeful faces and smiling people appeared, and the golden sword instantly turned into specks of golden light and scattered. An absurd feeling rose in his heart!

"How did I get here...?"

In that instant, Li Xingzhi opened his tightly closed eyes and felt a bright light shining around him. Where was the golden sword that had killed him?

"It was all a dream—"

Only then did Li Xingzhi realize what was happening, and he suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world!

All the confusion, worries, and concerns of the past receded like the tide in my heart at this moment, leaving only a quiet, pure expanse of yellow sand shimmering in the sunlight.

"It's great to be alive!"

He took a deep breath of the cool, refreshing air, a look of extreme enjoyment on his face—the dream that was so real had left him terrified, and when Pu Yi woke up, it seemed as if he had been reborn!

As the black pupils gradually contracted, the blinding light slowly dissipated, revealing a girl with lifeless eyes and a somewhat sickly appearance.

The girl sat there blankly, staring at him, but her once bright eyes were now completely devoid of any light.

Li Xingzhi felt a pang of pain in his heart!

"Yue'er?" he called softly in a slightly trembling voice, with a mixture of hope and expectation, but mostly fear, afraid that something might really happen to this silly girl.

The girl's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of emotion, and silent tears streamed down her cheeks, yet she remained seated to the side, seemingly still in a daze.

Li Xingzhi raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's cheek, wiping away her tears.

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at Li Xingzhi. Suddenly, her eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance. She suddenly threw herself into Li Xingzhi's arms, and tears suddenly flowed like a burst dam.

"Brother Li—!"

"It's alright, it's alright~" Li Xingzhi gently hugged the girl, patted her back, and comforted her.

Li Xingzhi looked at the sleeping girl in his arms, feeling inexplicably complicated.

The two had only known each other for a few days and thought it was just a chance encounter, but they never expected to go through this life-and-death ordeal—Li Xingzhi felt as if they had known each other for a very long time.

"White hair as fresh as new, meeting someone as old as an old friend, that's all there is to it!"

He gently caressed the girl's fair and delicate face, feeling the tenderness emanating from her body. A sudden flutter in his heart stirred, and a sense of romance instantly entwined the two of them.

Perhaps Li Xingzhi didn't have any other ideas yet, but this lingering, enchanting feeling was leading him in a different direction.

At this moment, a huge, hairy mouth came close to the two of them, and a huge red tongue came out. It used its sticky saliva to wash Li Xingzhi's face, and the beautiful picture was instantly shattered!

Li Xingzhi turned his head and then saw clearly that the owner of the big tongue was the huge white wolf!

"Hey! You've never been this affectionate with me before, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?" Li Xingzhi patted the white wolf's head heavily and said with a smile.

However, even though he didn't particularly like the way the white wolf showed affection, he still enjoyed it!

You see, the big white wolf was very arrogant before, and wouldn't let Li Xingzhi touch him at all, which made Li Xingzhi only itch with desire when he saw that pure white, straight wolf fur.

"what--"

Li Xingzhi suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing. "Where's the little golden snake?"

He looked around and indeed spotted the giant black python coiled to the side. He was startled, but then he understood and said to the black snake, "Do you see that golden snake?" As he spoke, he gestured with his hands.

If others saw him talking to a snake, they would definitely think he was crazy. However, Li Xingzhi knew that there were many snakes in this valley that were very intelligent. Although they could not speak human language, they could roughly understand human intentions.

The black python looked at Li Xingzhi, flicked its scarlet tongue, and after a long while, moved its head, then quickly flicked its red tongue at Li Xingzhi before turning its head and slowly moving its long body toward the valley entrance.
