Duan Xifeng and the others were extremely worried. They dared not easily activate the formation, "Are you crazy! You want to be within such a formation?"
"Do you know? You cannot withstand the aura brought by this formation."
Gu Qianying's face was pale, and she smiled faintly, "Brother, don't worry, I'm not scared at all! Only the poisonous blood in my body needs the formation to be activated. There's no more time."
Ouyang Qinglin believed Gu Qianying.
He knew Gu Qianying never fought unprepared battles. Since she was doing this, she must have been prepared long ago.
He was the first to activate the formation, injecting his spiritual energy into it.
"There's no time! Sunset is approaching. Once night falls, the power of these filthy creatures will become even stronger. You don't want any more incidents to happen, do you?"
The rest nodded and quickly injected their power into it.
As the formation rose.
A fierce gust of wind swept through the jungle.
This gust of wind stirred up the dust on the ground.
And because of the effect of Gu Qianying's poisonous blood.
The venomous snakes that had been rapidly escaping from the cave entrance were also drawn upwards.
These filthy creatures clearly did not want to enter, but they also felt the might of Gu Qianying and the others. They struggled, resisting entering.
Finally, the gust of wind completely broke open the snake's den.
Inside appeared a giant snake, taller than a person.
Blood constantly seeped from the sharp fangs of the giant snake. Its eyes were extremely sharp, and it kept roaring towards Gu Qianying.
It even seemed to possess human intelligence, "You dare to disturb my rest. I will kill you all today!"
With its mighty roar.
The formation, which had been painstakingly established, instantly shattered, turning into specks of starlight that drifted into the sky.
The jungle finally turned dark.
Gu Qianying was impacted, her figure staggered, and she quickly retreated.
If Duan Xifeng had not quickly protected her, Gu Qianying might not have been able to steady herself and would have fallen to the ground.
She composed herself, "Thank you!"
Duan Xifeng pulled up Gu Qianying's clothes and placed her behind him, "We're really lucky to encounter the Snake King as soon as we arrived. This fellow must have cultivated for hundreds of years!"
Ouyang Qinglin narrowed his eyes, his expression extremely grim. He clenched his fist and spoke coldly.
"A Snake King that has cultivated for two hundred years, and in such a dark place, its poison has reached an unimaginable level. We should still be cautious."
Du Chun's foot stomped on the ground. Although his whole body was numb, he was not afraid of this creature. He immediately brandished his fist and shouted forward.
"Cautious? We have more people, what are we afraid of? Let's charge!"
As he spoke, he formed a hand seal and charged forward. The power in his hands transformed into armor, condensing onto his body.
Soon, he was already fighting the Snake King.
Gu Qianying could not wait any longer. Bai Yufeng was weak and needed a place to rest.
Ignoring her own weakness, she quickly moved forward again.
The remaining people were helpless.
After all, the situation was already like this, and they could not escape.
Soon, the battlefield was once again filled with noise. In the dark jungle, light flashed continuously.
The crows perched on the trees all fled. The animals underground, sensing the danger, scurried away frantically.
Xiao Yihao nervously held Bai Yufeng, continuously channeling spiritual energy into him.
For some reason, after today's events.
He felt an unusual sense of familiarity with Bai Yufeng.
It was as if in the past, the two of them had met, or perhaps a long thread connected them.
He frowned, rarely asking, "Who exactly are you?"
And in the front.
Gu Qianying and the others were locked in a fierce battle with the Snake King.
They all unleashed their highest power, suppressing it once more.
The Snake King spat blood, spewing a large amount of venom in an attempt to infect them.
Gu Qianying reacted extremely quickly, counterattacking with silver needles, aided by a chilling breath.
The venom quickly solidified. Upon contact with the silver needles, it let out a loud bang. In full view of everyone, it rapidly returned, falling into the Snake King's maw.
The Snake King did not expect this to happen and immediately coughed violently, trying to spit out the venom.
Seeing this opportunity, Duan Xifeng kicked its seven-inch spot.
The Snake King, instead of spitting out the venom, swallowed it into its mouth after being struck.
The venom within its body was no ordinary substance. It could corrupt human bodies, and it could also corrupt snakes.
Once the venom entered its body, it began to corrode.
In just a moment, white smoke billowed from the Snake King's mouth, and its scales began to peel away.
With a swish.
The creature fell to the ground limply, instantly revealing its true form.
Gu Qianying inserted the silver needle forward, feeling it with her fingertips, and exclaimed, "This thing is dead, poisoned by its own venom."
Her words instantly caused a burst of laughter.
Their hearts had been filled with anxiety, but none of them expected such an event to occur.
Duan Xifeng laughed until tears streamed down his face. He clutched his stomach and collapsed on the ground, "This is too hilarious. The Snake King was corroded by its own venom. How funny is that?"
Gu Qianying rolled her eyes back and, using the silver needle in her hand, extracted the Snake King's gall. She quickly said.
"It's dark now, and ferocious beasts will inevitably appear. Everyone must not let their guard down, or the next person to die will be us."
Du Chun pulled Duan Xifeng away, looking serious.
"Don't worry, brother. I'll take good care of your absent-minded brother!"
Duan Xifeng's mouth twitched. The smile on his face instantly vanished. He pushed Du Chun away and then picked up Bai Yufeng from the ground.
"Kid, you talk too much. I'm not walking with you. Look, the one on my back is my brother-in-law. He's handsome and dashing. You must be envious!"
At these words, everyone's expression changed. They didn't know what to say and shook their heads.
Only Gu Qianying, unaware of the truth, blushed and quickly replied to her brother, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. I don't."
Duan Xifeng snorted coldly at that moment, "A girl's words can never be trusted. Let's go! Let's go! We mustn't delay."
"Understood."
Everyone nodded silently and followed.
In the darkness of night, they could not rely on sunlight to determine their location, so they had to follow the river. Villages were usually located along the riverbanks. As long as they kept walking, they would eventually leave this place.
But as fate would have it.
The mountains were teeming with ferocious beasts, not just venomous snakes, but also many more bizarre creatures.
Along the river, countless man-eating bats perched on a headless monster.
The bats either fell to the ground or stood on trees.
What remained unchanged was their gaze, which seemed capable of piercing through people.
Gu Qianying's heart turned cold, and her steps instantly stopped.
If she wasn't mistaken.
These ghastly things wanted to kill them.
