Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Huangfu Aoran?"

Ignoring Geng Miaowan's surprise, Xiaobai stared at the sand crawler demon. It arrogantly raised its head and said to the sand crawler demon, "How dare a mere insect demon be so insolent before me!"

Geng Miaowan was taken aback. No, this wasn't the voice she'd heard that night. "Could it be... that you are Huangfu Aohan?"

Xiao Bai still ignored her.

The sand crawler demon was also taken aback. It stared at Little White with a solemn expression for a while, then chuckled, "Heh... Interesting, it actually changed to another one. But no matter how it changes, a little crawler is still a little crawler. What can it do? It's just a dying struggle."

Geng Miaowan was startled, thinking to herself, "This sand crawler demon looks ugly, but it really has some skills. It was able to tell so easily that the soul inside Xiaobai's body had changed."

Xiao Bai wasn't angry, but said sternly, "You little beast, when I was out in the game, you were still nobody. How dare you spout such nonsense? Today I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Geng Miaowan thought to herself, "This guy really is the same brother as Huangfu Aoran. They are both arrogant and disdainful of others."

Although Xiao Bai's aura appeared powerful, the Sand Crawler Demon, with its thousands of years of cultivation, could see that while it was stronger than before, it was still inferior to Xiao Bai's cultivation. It scoffed contemptuously, "I see you're the one spouting nonsense! You little crawler, if I hadn't shown mercy, you would have died countless times over. Yet you dare to be so arrogant and ungrateful!"

"You little beast, there's no point in saying more. Let's settle this with our fists!"

At this moment, the sand crawler demon's expression changed slightly. It sensed that the barrier it had set up was about to be breached, so it decided not to waste any more time, quickly capture Geng Miaowan, and leave to avoid any further complications. So it shouted, "Little crawler, come on!" and began to fight with Xiaobai.

Geng Miaowan watched the two animals fighting with amusement. The beast was cursing a reptile, and the reptile was cursing a beastly reptile. The two creatures didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with their behavior. This world is truly amazing.

Fortunately, after a brief exchange of insults, Xiaobai had completely captured the sand crawler demon's attention, allowing her to continue her little schemes with peace of mind. At this point, the spiritual energy within the energy orb began to become unstable.

Geng Miaowan knew that with her current cultivation level, it was impossible for her to activate the energy within Luan Hao's energy bead. She also knew that when spiritual energy was invaded by external spiritual energy, it would instinctively generate energy to resist. As for how much energy would be generated, she didn't know. She only hoped that Xiaobai could hold off the sand crawler demon for a little longer so that she could input enough spiritual energy into the energy bead, causing it to automatically unleash its power.

She didn't expect to defeat the sand crawler demon with this; she just hoped to get herself and Little White out of the cave.

It must be said that Huangfu Aohan is truly different from Huangfu Aoxuan and Huangfu Aoran. Although he seems to be struggling, at least he can still fight the sand crawler demon for a few rounds. Unlike the other two, who are arrogant without any basis, acting like they have a million or eighty thousand when they clearly only have a tiny bit of magic power.

However, Huangfu Aohan's cultivation had not fully recovered, and after a few rounds of fighting the sand crawler demon, he was already running out of strength. He barely dodged one of the sand crawler demon's tail swings, but was then headbutted by the demon's head and clamped by its pincers. It looked like the demon's tail was about to come back and swing at Xiaobai's head.

"Xiaobai!" Geng Miaowan screamed.

Little White, however, calmly slapped the sand crawler's eye with its front leg, causing it to howl in pain and release its grip. Freed, Little White leaped backward, but couldn't stand up properly as its hind leg, which had been clamped, lost its balance and it fell to the side, a trickle of blood still hanging from its mouth.

Geng Miaowan saw that its hind leg had been almost severed by the insect demon's pincers, with only a layer of skin connecting it, and blood was flowing out. Yet it still tried to stand up, its eyes filled with a chilling coldness, as if the severed leg was not its own at all.

Seeing that Little White couldn't even stand up, the sand crawler demon's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Its dozens of legs moved simultaneously, unleashing a chilling spell straight at Little White. The energy contained within was far more ferocious than before; this time, it had no intention of letting it go, as it could sense that the barrier it had set up was about to be broken.

It could sense that several powerful human cultivators were gathered around the outer edge of the barrier. Originally, it wasn't afraid to confront them, but after learning that Geng Miaowan was a Myriad Spirits Body, it only wanted to quickly capture her and then find a secluded place to properly utilize her Myriad Spirits Body for its own use.

As for these short-sighted humans, wouldn't it be even better to let them all possess spiritual power once I become a being of myriad spirits?

So at this moment, it just wants to finish the battle quickly.

Seeing that the sand crawler demon's spell was about to strike Little White, and that Little White didn't even have the strength to dodge, Geng Miaowan felt a pang of heartache. In the days they'd spent together, although it hadn't done anything particularly significant, its companionship had kept her from getting bored. And in times of crisis, it was always the one who stepped forward to stand in front of her.

Although Huangfu Aohan is currently inside Xiaobai's body, she knows that if Xiaobai dies, Huangfu Aoxuan will also disappear.

Thinking of this, Geng Miaowan felt her emotions churning and she could no longer calm down. She felt a surge of resentment; she hadn't provoked the insect demon at all, yet it wouldn't let her and Xiaobai go.

The spiritual energy, influenced by that unstable emotion, quickly flowed into the energy bead. The spiritual energy that had entered earlier trembled violently, churning and tumbling around the spiritual energy within the energy bead. Meanwhile, the energy within her body surged wildly into the energy bead.

Just as the sand crawler demon's spell was about to hit Xiaobai, a purple light suddenly flashed, and Geng Miaowan heard the insect demon shout in despair, "It really is you!" After that, she lost consciousness.
