After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 116 Hello, we meet again.

In a distant cave, the Hidden Yin Serpent ate a few medicinal herbs to heal its wounds, then crawled into the cave and found two corpses of rogue cultivators in its "food" storage room. It squatted down and angrily dug open the corpses' chests, taking out their hearts and livers to eat.

The Hidden Serpent ate while muttering curses.

That damned brat dared to ambush it and injure it! It must heal quickly and settle the score with that brat! It will make that brat watch helplessly as its body is ripped open, its internal organs ripped out and eaten! It will make him regret ever offending it!!

After consuming the two hearts and livers, the Hidden Serpent finally stopped. It licked the bright red blood from the corner of its mouth and saw that most of its injuries had healed and the wounds had stopped bleeding. Only then did it feel a little better.

Everyone knows that the Hidden Serpent enjoys playing hide-and-seek, relishing the fear and despair of its prey before finally devouring its heart and liver. But few know that there are reasons for this.

Admittedly, the Hidden Shadow Serpent relishes the despair of its prey, and its heart and liver are also a delicacy before death. But the most important reason is that, for the Hidden Shadow Serpent, the heart and liver of its prey before death are highly nutritious; consuming them not only enhances its cultivation but also heals its wounds!

Therefore, after eating two hearts and livers, the Hidden Yin Snake's injuries healed quickly.

"Gah gah gah... Alright, now I'm going to take my revenge!"

The Hidden Serpent licked its lips contentedly, its vertical pupils filled with bloodlust. It straightened its body and quickly rushed out of the cave.

At this moment, the fog outside is thick, and all kinds of demonic beasts are fighting and searching for prey with bloodshot eyes. However, they are all very wary of the Hidden Yin Serpent, so there are no demonic beasts near the Hidden Yin Serpent's cave.

The Hidden Serpent stood outside the cave, closed its eyes, and twitched its nose.

"Where is that brat...?"

The fog amplified the Hidden Serpent's power, allowing it to easily detect scents within a hundred miles, making it easy to locate Chu Wenqing.

Unless Chu Wenqing has already left Cloud Mist Valley.

A moment later, the Hidden Serpent suddenly opened its eyes, its tone filled with impatient killing intent, "Ah, I found it..."

That brat was less than twenty miles from its cave; though his presence was barely perceptible, it still managed to find him…

"Hehehe... You brat, you're dead meat!"

The Hidden Shadow Serpent grinned sinisterly, its four claws moving swiftly towards Chu Wenqing's location. Along the way, it stopped again, its eyes fixed on a large rock not far away, filled with resentment and hunger.

On the boulder sat a white-robed man with jet-black hair and an ethereal, jade-like appearance. His eyes were closed, and he sat quietly with his sword in his arms, as if he were simply resting from exhaustion.

But the Hidden Serpent knew that the man had been dead for over a thousand years.

More than a thousand years ago, it witnessed this person being struck by lightning and falling into the Cloud Realm. On his deathbed, he dragged his body onto this boulder, hugged a sword, and closed his eyes forever.

At the time, it was just a newly awakened demon beast, weak and powerless, and dared not approach. But unexpectedly, after the man died, his spiritual energy dissipated, and that scattered spiritual energy entered its body, causing its strength to rise rapidly.

The increase in power excited it greatly, and in order to further enhance its strength, it boldly planned to devour the man. However, before it could even touch the man, the sword in his arms suddenly erupted with a chilling killing intent, almost killing it!

That sword was so strange! It looked ordinary, yet it could keep a man's body from decaying for a thousand years and protect him from any harm! Because of that strange sword, the Hidden Serpent was unable to succeed for more than a thousand years afterward.

Thinking of this, the Hidden Serpent couldn't help but glare fiercely at the snow-white sword in the man's arms, then gritted its teeth, turned around and left.

At this moment, over there in the cave.

After listening to Su Luo's solution, the group remained silent for a while. Su Luo then asked, "What do you think of this solution?"

Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao thought about it for a moment, and then nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"I agree, this is the best way at the moment."

"Yes, I... agree too..."

In fact, Su Luo's method was very simple: she made Chu Wenqing attract hatred.

When the Hidden Yin Serpent comes looking for him, Chu Wenqing will act out a scene to distract it, then try to provoke it into stepping into the array drawn by Su Luo to trap it, and then close the door and beat the dog. Everyone will take turns to exhaust its spiritual power.

Su Luo looked at Chu Wenqing, who was frozen in place, and patted him on the shoulder, "Sigh, it's just that you've been wronged a bit..."

Chu Wenqing snapped out of her daze, her face instantly contorting into a screeching mess, turning into a screaming chicken.

"Ugh! Why do I have to face that terrifying monster head-on?! It looks so scary, it's really bad for my heart!!"

"Because you have a high hatred level. It's not that we don't want to go out in your place, but compared to us, it hates you more, so you're more suitable to provoke it, aren't you?"

Su Luo's words hit the nail on the head, prompting Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao to echo her sentiments.

“That’s right, that’s right. Since you’ve offended the Hidden Yin Serpent, it will definitely keep a close eye on you when it comes to seek revenge, thus ignoring us. That’s when we can make our move.”

"Yes, yes, senior brother, we will help you secretly... If your life is in danger, we, we will also take action in advance..."

Chu Wenqing's lips twitched as she listened, "You two are truly my good senior sisters and junior brothers..."

At this moment, Su Luo suddenly sighed, "Well, since Chu Wenqing is unwilling, then forget it and let me do it."

Chu Wenqing's face immediately stiffened.

He was just complaining; he didn't say he wouldn't go! Besides, how could he let Su Luo do something so dangerous? She's just a weak talisman cultivator!

Clearly, Chu Wenqing had momentarily forgotten that Su Luo, this "weak" talisman cultivator, once possessed the strength to fight three opponents at once.

Feng Xiyue was the first to disagree, "Su Luo can't go, it's too dangerous! I'll go instead!"

Hmm, this person forgot too.

Song Qiao objected, "No, no, let me go in Su Luo's place..."

In Song Qiao's eyes, Su Luo was a wonderful person, and he didn't want her to get hurt!

Chu Wenqing couldn't listen any longer and quickly spoke up, saying that she was willing, "Alright, alright! Stop arguing! I didn't say I wasn't willing, I'll go! I'll handle it! I'm the one who provoked the Hidden Yin Serpent, so it's my responsibility to resolve this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them stopped arguing and rushed to praise Chu Wenqing for his bravery and righteousness, calling him a role model for cultivators.

Chu Wenqing was flattered and acted like he was being sold out but still helping the seller count the money, which made Su Luo's lips curl up involuntarily.

From the beginning, Su Luo knew that Chu Wenqing wouldn't refuse. He only occasionally said something sarcastic, but in reality, he was soft-hearted than the others.

Of course, since Chu Wenqing is to be on the mission, he can't be allowed to get hurt, so...

Su Luo took out a bag of talismans from her storage bag and handed it to Chu Wenqing. "Here, this is for you. Most of them are explosive talismans. If you can't beat them, just throw them out as much as you can."

Chu Wenqing's face lit up with joy, and she let out a loud shout, almost rushing over to hug Su Luo, "Aww! Su Luo, you're the best! Mwah!"

Now I feel much safer!

Su Luo got goosebumps from the "muah" sound. She looked away in disgust, glanced at the cave entrance, and then said seriously.

"Alright, let's not delay any longer. Let's get started. First, deal with the monsters outside and make sure there are no more monsters around to bother us. Then, we can quietly wait for our distinguished guests to arrive."

The foggy weather made it unsuitable for travel, but it didn't prevent them from dealing with the monsters lurking nearby, since they had all taken Feng Xiyue's pills and wouldn't be poisoned.

Moreover, Su Luo had a premonition that the Hidden Yin Serpent would soon come looking for her.

The three of them agreed in unison.

Half an hour later, the Hidden Yin Serpent arrived silently near the cave where Chu Wenqing was, as if it were a ghost. The scent of Chu Wenqing became more and more obvious, which made it even more excited.

Soon, very soon he'll be able to kill that brat! When he suddenly appears, that brat will definitely be so scared he'll scream and cry, right? Hahaha!

Overly excited, the Hidden Yin Snake was completely focused on Chu Wenqing not far away, oblivious to the unusually quiet atmosphere around them.

It quietly approached the cave, but when it was about half a mile away, it suddenly sensed something. As soon as it looked up, it saw the boy standing at the cave entrance through the mist.

Chu Wenqing stood lazily, waved at the Hidden Yin Snake, and revealed a sly smile.

Hello, it's nice to see you again.

Hidden Serpent: "!"
