The headless monster held a giant axe in its hand.
As for those man-eating bats, most of them had mice in their mouths, and the desolate aura emanating from them sent shivers down one's spine.
"This is truly life-threatening!"
Duan Xifeng, in a fit of anger, threw Bai Yufeng to the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and glared with fury in his eyes.
"When will these damned things ever end!"
Gu Qianying was extremely annoyed; now was not the time for talking.
She tried to cover Duan Xifeng's mouth.
But it was too late. The headless monster and the man-eating bats sensed the sound from this location, let out roars, and then flew rapidly towards them.
They were shrouded in black energy.
Their appearance was exceptionally bizarre.
The man-eating bats actually had human faces in their mouths, faces that could not speak, only emitting a faint green light.
"What is that?"
When they approached and saw the scene, they were startled for no reason.
Gu Qianying picked up her silver needles, formed them into a formation, and flew madly into the distance.
With the power of the silver needles.
They tore through the sky and pierced directly into the eyes of these creatures.
As for the headless monster, its strength was immense.
The axe in its hand weighed a thousand jin.
Every time it chopped something to the ground, the vast earth would erupt in a clamor, the soil and rocks would begin to tremble, and the original river would instantly stop.
Ouyang Qinglin held his long sword.
He landed above, constantly searching for the headless monster's weakness.
The rest of the people stepped forward in a scattered manner, attempting to disrupt the headless monster's target.
Duan Xifeng even found amusement in it, picking up dirt from the ground and throwing it forward.
"Can't see, can you!"
"You can't see yet you dare chase me, how bold! I'll beat you so hard your saliva flows later, and I'll make you kneel and call me daddy."
Those behind them all held their foreheads.
The words Duan Xifeng spoke were truly despicable.
If the headless monster could hear, it would have long ago gone mad and torn Duan Xifeng to shreds, turning him into soil, still within the earth.
Gu Qianying was struggling with those bats with human faces.
Those creatures were not particularly strong.
But there was one thing that was chilling.
There were many, many of them, and they mostly gathered together, so when they attacked a person madly, an ordinary person could, in a moment, be reduced to a pile of white bones, with no power to resist.
Just as Gu Qianying was in a predicament.
She suddenly remembered the Snake King's poison gallbladder she had collected.
That thing killed people invisibly; even those with a hundred years of cultivation might not be able to resist it, let alone these creatures.
Gu Qianying leaped up instantly, retreating from the swarm of bats.
Immediately, she took out the poison gallbladder, tossed it into the air, and summoned another wave of silver needles.
With a wave of green mist.
The poison carried by this item caused the man-eating bats immense suffering.
They no longer dared to advance, their originally expressionless human faces becoming incredibly contorted and filled with pain.
Gu Qianying quickly formed a hand seal, creating a massive formation.
The item descended from the sky like a giant cauldron, its oppressive aura palpable. In moments, it instantly trapped these filthy creatures within.
When they fell inside.
These creatures still tried to break free, but as the poison gradually spread, the sounds from within instantly vanished.
In just a few moments, their internal impurities were dispersed by this giant cauldron.
Finally having dealt with the creatures, Gu Qianying clapped her hands with relief and sighed, "Excellent!"
Just then, Duan Xifeng and the others arrived with relaxed expressions.
Gu Qianying's face lit up with surprise, "You resolved them so quickly."
Duan Xifeng's face showed pride, "Of course, who do you think I am?"
Those behind them were speechless.
Gu Qianying smiled and shook her head, quickly helping Bai Yufeng up from the ground. Bai Yufeng's strength was still weak; he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
Duan Xifeng clicked his tongue, "The consequences of discarding the spirit pill are truly..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Seeing how much this person had sacrificed for Gu Qianying, he set aside his prejudices and decided to accept him.
Duan Xifeng took Bai Yufeng, "Stop looking, let's go!"
Just as everyone was preparing to leave.
Du Chun from behind looked puzzled and suddenly said strangely, "Why did a door suddenly appear in that place?"
Everyone quickly looked and, sure enough, there was a very thick stone door. It hadn't appeared when they arrived earlier.
It was likely that the headless monster and the man-eating bats had been guarding this place, which was why they had fought them so fiercely.
Gu Qianying was worried about Bai Yufeng. They needed to find a place to rest now, not court death here.
So she quickly suggested, "Why don't we go inside? Bai Yufeng is weak, and we can find a place to transfer spiritual energy to him, preventing further trouble."
"Otherwise, if we stay outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to rest peacefully."
The continuous waves of danger had made everyone on the scene, though not fearful, feel troubled.
Now that there was a place to rest, they were willing to enter.
Soon, Gu Qianying and the others entered.
This place didn't resemble a secret chamber, but rather a subterranean palace.
It was vast and open, with many paths. Torches lined the walls, making it much better than the darkness outside.
During this time, Bai Yufeng's body finally gave out.
He could no longer maintain his comatose state.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he began to gasp for air.
"This is bad! Without the spirit pill circulating within him, his strength will only dissipate, not enter. If this continues, he will die."
Du Chun exclaimed.
Gu Qianying gritted her teeth and quickly circulated her spiritual energy, merging it into Bai Yufeng's bloodstream.
Gu Qianying lowered her gaze, a hint of apology in her eyes.
"I know I shouldn't have asked this of you. There are dangers everywhere, and spiritual energy is undoubtedly very important. You are not related to him by blood or by marriage, and ultimately, there's no need for you to help him."
"But! He is my savior. Now, I have no other way but to beg you."
Everyone was stunned, then smiled helplessly.
"What are you saying? We are all friends. Since he is your savior, we will naturally help you. Don't worry!"
Duan Xifeng teased from the side, "What savior? I'm afraid it's something else."
The people around them burst into laughter, but only Ouyang Qinglin's expression became even darker, not a trace of a smile appearing.
After the spiritual energy input from everyone present.
Bai Yufeng's precarious body could finally maintain its functions. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy.
The usually proud young master, in a rare moment, lowered his head to apologize, but very awkwardly, "Thank you."
The others were stunned and waved their hands awkwardly, "It's nothing!"
