In a swamp not far from Jiǔ Mù Lín, a fierce battle was unfolding.

  The lower body of the female monster was a thick and long snake's body, with colors mixed together in a messy way, looking extremely eerie. The back of her head was a snake's head, while her face was a flat human face, with five features squeezed together, looking eerie and terrifying.

  Jiang Xue leapt up and was about to chop down on the snake woman's head with his curved blade, but she swung her massive serpent body and sent him flying.

  Lian Yin hastily stepped forward and caught her body, then hugged her as they darted through the thicket. "Don't make any sudden moves, right now the best thing to do is run."

  They had been chased by this female demon for an entire afternoon and had no idea what reason led her to be so persistent.

  Feng Bao cursed under his breath, gripped the axe in his hand tightly, and suddenly stopped running. He turned around to face the snake woman alone, "You go first, I'll cut off the back!"

  The giant snake body of the female demon shuttled 'swoosh' between the thickets and tree trunks, seeing Feng Bao suddenly stop escaping, a strange smile was pulled out on his distorted face.

  Feng Bao's lips tightened, his eyes gleaming like a sharp knife. "Ugly monster, if you want to fight, then I, Old Man Feng, will accompany you to the end!"

  "Feng Bao!"

  The rest of the main team were shocked and rushed towards Feng Bao.

  "Feng Bao shouted loudly, 'You few fools, quickly run! Don't let me sacrifice in vain!'"

  The snake woman darted back and forth in the shallow grass, slowly encircling Feng Bao's body with a ring of snakes. Then she raised her massive serpent head and shouted, "Ghost Spirit Master said to take your lives, none of you will escape!"

  Ghost?

  The protagonist team who had just turned back happened to hear this name.

  Lian Yin's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

  Guī Líng is a yāo líng, originally the strongest demon-hunting master from a thousand years ago. However, he fell and became a hún líng, a half-human, half-demon creature. He should have been sealed away by his master long ago, but how...

  The snake woman burst out laughing with a "hahaha", and her eerie human face suddenly flipped over to the top of her head, revealing a huge snake mouth that quickly struck towards Feng Bao.

  But before she could fully enjoy this delicious meal, she was cut down by a sword and disappeared on the spot.

  After the light faded away, a person appeared.

  That white-clothed youth had a face as cold as ice, and his powerful demonic aura, which was not concealed in the slightest, caused the main character's team to furrow their brows instantly.

  One wave has not yet subsided when another one rises.

  Just as they were gripping their weapons, ready to fight to the death at any moment, another delicate and lovely girl appeared from behind the young man.

  It's actually several months' worth of Chrysanthemum tea!

  Chu Cha looked at the main group in front of her, this time it seemed to be the battle that would lead to Feng Bao losing an arm in the original plot, fortunately they arrived just in time and no accident occurred.

  Jiang Xue couldn't help but take a step forward, "Chacha! Come quickly!"

  Chu Cha rushed towards Jiang Xue with a smile and then opened her arms to pounce on her, "Sister Xue!"

  Jiang Xue hastily hugged the girl and pulled her behind him, his expression serious. "Danger, stand behind me and don't move."

  Chu Cha pulled Jiang Xue's hand and said, "Don't worry, sister. Big brother is a good person."

  Jiang Xue's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked at the carefree girl in front of her, "You call him... Big Brother? He's a demon!"

  Chu Cha rubbed her head, "But big brother has saved me many times, I really like him."

  Seeing Jiang Xue's disapproving face and the others' vigilance, Chen Ye didn't care at all. He was willing to take action only because that snake demon was a servant of Gui Ling, now that it's dead, there's no need to stay any longer.

  The young man slowly turned around and walked away in the opposite direction without haste or delay.

  "He's gone."

  "Eh!" Chu Cha hastily responded and was about to follow up.

  However, Jiang Xue grabbed her arm, "Cha Cha, this place is not far from Lian Town, I'll send you back."

  "Snow sister, I just like big brother and want to be with him!"

  Chu Cha looked at the villainous big shot getting farther and farther away, feeling a bit anxious, and quickly broke free from Jiang Xue to chase after Chen Yan.

  "Tea!"

  Jiang Xue also wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lian Yin.

  "Big brother, why are you blocking me? ChaCha is in danger!"

  Lianyin shook her head, "You're overthinking it, that demon doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Chacha."

  "But... Jiang Xue's mind recalled her younger sister who died at the hands of a monster when she was young, and tears welled up in her eyes. "But monsters are all bad!"

  Lian Yin looked at Jiang Xue's stubborn expression and let out a soft sigh, then gently patted her head.

  "People are divided into good and evil, so are demons. We only kill those who do evil, this is our original intention."

  Jiang Xue slowly lowered her head and hid away her tears.

  "Got it, senior brother."
