At the same time, a black, strong, and imposing bear suddenly crashed down where she had just stood, its fierce eyes glaring at her. Its paws slammed the ground in a show of force, causing the entire ground to rumble!
Jin Bao'er frowned. Her expression turned serious. This behemoth looked stronger than the rat from before!
Seeing her become alert, the great black bear felt a touch of smugness. See? It was much stronger than that rat...
Jin Bao'er noticed its smugness and became even more curious about this so-called trial ground! She looked at the great bear and said calmly,
"Did you recognize that rat from before?"
The great bear's expression froze at her words. It instinctively nodded. Realizing its slip, it immediately resumed a fierce demeanor!
Maddeningly foolish and fierce!
Jin Bao'er was speechless. No wonder she felt something was off from the beginning, as if this trial ground was being manipulated from behind the scenes. Now it seemed these mutated demonic beasts all knew each other!
The trial ground roared: "You big bear, why are you standing there! Go! Beat her, beat her hard!"
Receiving the instruction, the great bear's aura suddenly exploded, and it charged, delivering a powerful blow to Jin Bao'er! The force was at least a ton of critical damage!
A sense of crisis washed over her. Jin Bao'er's thin lips pressed together, her eyes turning cold! She reached out and met the attack head-on, directly clashing palms with the beast.
"Boom!! Boom!!"
Two powerful forces collided, instantly compressing and vibrating the surrounding air, creating a strong blast of energy that surged outwards. In an instant, a large circle of trees around them was blown away at a visible speed!
There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, just a pure clash of strength, yet it caused the entire trial ground to tremble slightly!
Her fair and slender palm met the enormous bear paw, and she didn't lose ground at all, proving just how strong the woman in white was...
The great bear was shocked! Its fierce beastly eyes widened in disbelief as it looked down at the small human woman before it...
She caught it?! Damn it, she actually caught it!! That force was his full power! Argh!! This was definitely not human, it must be some demon beast in disguise!
Jin Bao'er was also surprised! She hadn't expected this bear to be so straightforward with its strength; even Tian Shu couldn't withstand such a blow! The muscles in her arm throbbed with a dull ache, and her delicate white fingers were starting to bend under the strain of holding on.
However, her expression remained unchanged! With no spiritual energy, her stamina would eventually run out. If this stalemate continued, she would surely be sent flying!
Her mind raced, and she decisively withdrew her hand, suppressing the trembling in her arm...
At the same moment, the great bear in front of her also withdrew its paw. She saw deep shock and suspicion reflected in its eyes. As she marveled, the bear pointed at her and let out a furious roar towards the sky!
"Roar roar roar roar! Roar roar!"
"She's not human! Boss!"
The trial ground: "It's not blind, of course it saw what just happened. What now?"
After a moment of hesitation, it thought of a solution!
Jin Bao'er watched the bear's strange behavior without comment. Soon, the bear stopped roaring! With a very displeased glare at her, it turned and ran!
This move once again startled Jin Bao'er. She never expected the opponent to run so decisively, as if she had done something incredible...
Meanwhile, a group of people, being relentlessly pursued by a Xuan Snake, hid under tree roots, holding their breath in panic, afraid of being discovered by the giant python.
Lin Lang Qing Yin never imagined this trial ground would be so terrifying. After entering, they weren't even allowed to use spiritual energy. Their cultivation seemed to have vanished into thin air, and they could only rely on their own strength to fight the monsters!
But people who had been here before said otherwise!
However, the giant python seemed to be playing with them, whipping them while leisurely watching them flee. Without spiritual energy, their magic treasures were useless. They were no match for it in a physical fight. Even if they scattered, they would quickly be caught and chased again...
Of the other seven people accompanying them, two had already been directly thrown out. Only Lin Lang Qing Yin, Ming Quan Yun Xi, Fan Yin Yi Ming, and another sect disciple remained! The last one had been accidentally crushed to death by the python!
Terror spread among them, but no one noticed that on the large tree, the dark red python had coiled half its body around it. Its massive head slowly descended, and its scarlet eyes, suspended in mid-air, swept around the base of the tree...
Because it could smell them, but couldn't see them...
A sense of dread washed over Lin Lang Qing Yin. She subconsciously looked up, her pupils suddenly constricting. Her body stiffened, trembling as she looked outwards, unable to utter a single word.
Ming Quan Yun Xi, who was closest to her, noticed her unusual trembling and looked at her. Following her gaze outwards, he sensed the python's presence and his heart tightened. However, because the hole under the tree roots was small, the python's head couldn't enter, so they were relatively safe...
"Don't move, she can't get in. Let's quickly recover..." Stamina!
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Lang Qing Yin beside him let out a sudden scream and violently grabbed the woman next to her, pushing her out with force, as if trying to attract the python's attention!
The woman was stunned by the sudden action. By the time she recovered, the python was already above her head... As she met those scarlet eyes!
"Boom!"
The female cultivator fainted from fright!
Seeing this, the python was disdainful but also located their position. A hint of amusement flickered in its cold, sinister eyes!
Its massive tail tightly coiled around the large tree and then it exerted force with a bang...
"Rumble!!"
The thick tree, deeply rooted in the earth, was directly uprooted...
The three people at the base of the tree were stunned. Their first instinct was to scramble out and flee. However, the python swung the tree, directly blocking their escape route...
The giant tail soon surrounded the three of them!
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The sound came from above. The three looked up and met the python's cold and cruel gaze, instantly terrified to their souls! Their bodies trembled like sieves...
Its enormous maw opened, exuding a foul stench. A single thought flashed through the minds of all three: My life is over!
However, in the next second! The python suddenly looked up, as if it had heard something. After a moment of hesitation, it decisively let go of the three and disappeared into the forest...
The three, having escaped death, let out a sigh of relief. Before Ming Quan Yun Xi could mock Lin Lang Qing Yin, he felt the ground vibrate.
His first thought was that the python had returned...
Before he could look in horror, a giant rat without a tail suddenly burrowed out from the ground, its short, stout, and neat teeth appearing before them...
