After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Finally, Jin Haoyu said, "We disciples of the Hibiscus Palace are all of the water elemental root. My Linglong Qin can hit enemies within a certain distance. The sound of the qin can also interfere with divine sense and can also create illusions."

When they got to the last sentence, Chi Yiling, Lili, and Hua Rongyi looked left at Kong Bai and right at Jin Haoyu, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: What a coincidence!

Hua Rongyi said, "Tomorrow we'll first..."

After listening, everyone agreed. What else could they do but practice to find the truth?

"I'll keep watch with Kong Bai and Ling Lili for the first half of the night, and then Chi Yi and Jin Haoyu will take over for the second half. How does that sound?" Hua Rongyi asked.

Kong Bai: "Hmm!"

Chi Yi: "Okay!"

Ling Lili: "Okay!"

Jin Haoyu: "No problem!"

Apart from the occasional distant rumble of thunder, the night passed peacefully.

As dawn broke, the five continued westward.

Ling Lili kept shouting, "Ah~ There's a snake! Don't come any closer, boohoo~ Go away..."

Her adorable face was filled with terror as she swung her Crimson Whip repeatedly, occasionally injuring innocent teammates nearby because of her fear.

Jin Haoyu, who almost got hit again, complained, "Miss Ling, I know you're scared, but could you please aim more carefully? My arm can't take this kind of slapping all the time!"

"I didn't mean to, boohoo~ I'm so sorry!"

The voice, trembling with tears, reached his ears, making him feel a pang of guilt. It's normal for a girl to be afraid of snakes; how could he blame her?

Seeing this, Chi Yi, who was not far away, took out a black cloth strip and threw it to Ling Lili, saying, "Lili, cover your eyes and use your divine sense to find the snake's location."

Ling Lili took the strip of cloth and did as Chi Yi said, and it really helped a lot.

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to listen to Ling Lili's terrified screams.

The pace quickened considerably from there, and the snakes surrounding them were finally cleared away.

The group also took away all the rare medicinal herbs that the snakes were guarding, especially those that were over a hundred years old.

The group was walking in the forest when suddenly Chi Yi stopped in his tracks.

"Watch out, there's something there," Chi Yi warned.

The group immediately went on alert.

A rustling sound spread out, and more than a dozen vines attacked them from all directions.

Chi Yi leaped into the air and swung her sword, slashing it in two. Others either dodged or broke their swords.

But the severed vines quickly grew back and continued to attack them.

Hua Rongyi reminded everyone, "Use fire."

Apart from Ling Lili, who could use fire elemental power, everyone else took out fire talismans and threw them at the vines.

The vines burned and fell off section by section, when suddenly a shrill scream rang out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a large tree frantically beating its branches, trying to put out the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, it stood there frantically shaking its branches and leaves, while wailing loudly: "Waaaah~ Waaaah~ The tree is burning~ Waaaah~ Waaaah~ Bad people~ Waaaah~..."

The group felt a headache coming on, their heads buzzing uncomfortably.

The five of them shouted in unison, "Shut up!"

The tree hiccuped in fright, then cried even louder: "Waaah~ It scolded the tree~ Waaah~..."

Ling Lili's face was grim. She conjured a fireball in her hand and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you cry again, I'll burn you to death!!"

The crying immediately subsided, and only a pitiful whimper could be heard.

Everyone finally realized how wonderful it was to have peace and quiet.
