Chapter Nine, The People of Sidon

No, it can't be!" Tang Miao looked at Huang Yu in shock, shaking his head like a rattle drum, "I can't do it, really can't! Can we go back to Shifeng?"

Kill the little snake, your spiritual power cultivation is progressing even faster. From now on, you should kill a sand angle snake every day

Tang Miao stared foolishly at his nimble movements, her heart racing as she thought, is this the otherworldly beast? She felt guilty as she thought about staying on the stone peak, waiting for food and drink. The wasteland is indeed not a good place

Lan Zhao squinted his eyes with a strange smile and said, "The Eastern Wilderness is desolate, and my young master is concerned that Young Master Yu cannot endure the solitude, so he specially sent a celestial to visit Young Master Yu." His gaze shifted to the stone peak in the sky, and he sarcastically remarked, "Young Master Yu possesses profound spiritual power, and he is actually able to grow grass on the stone peaks of the Eastern Wilderness. As soon as the celestial arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, he noticed the greenery between the cracks in the stones, which is exceptionally eye-catching. I admire you, truly admire you!"

Fear brings what it fears; the snow-white sea of sand rolls beneath Tang Miao's eyelids, as if countless sand snakes are hidden below. Before Tang Miao could even scream in shock, a ghostly blue light flashed before her, wrapping around her arms and body. Tang Miao felt a heaviness in her chest, and despite opening her mouth wide, she could not utter a single sound.

Can you ignite the phoenix feathers

Huang Yu let out a cold snort, her finger tapping her forehead, and a flying knife gleaming with a bright green light shot out fiercely

"If you can't fly back, then stay on the wasteland!" Huang Yu coldly threw down these words and vanished in a flash.

She bit her lip and looked up at the stone peak as it soared upwards. She reminded herself not to look down, but her eyes uncontrollably glanced down just once, and with that single glance, her legs went weak again, dropping automatically from a height of 2 zhang to 3 chi.

Tang Miao was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground, looking up at the sky and stamping her feet: "Huang Yu, don't leave me behind! I can't do it! It's so high, how can I fly up there? Come back!"

Tang Miao, who was unexpectedly interrupted while speaking, was taken aback, and the clouds beneath her feet quietly dispersed. "Ah!" she screamed, and as expected, she fell to the ground.

The ghostly serpent with ice-blue eyes fixed its gaze on the flying daggers and opened its mouth to swallow them.

Huang Yu, holding the snake meat, turned and walked towards Tang Miao. Seeing her face full of fear, he couldn't help but smile: "This is a sand corner snake, the least powerful exotic beast in the wilderness. Although your spiritual power is shallow, you can still handle it."

Tang Miao also looked up, the stone peak quietly floated in the air, she thought with tears unshed, how high it is, does she still want to live?

Has the Ghost Face already set off? Has he succeeded? The Phoenix Feather in the air trembled slightly, looking down at the unconscious Tang Miao, her green eyes dimmed. How much longer until she can draw forth the gurgling clear spring? Thinking of that delicate person by the Weak Water River, the Phoenix Feather held Tang Miao tightly, her thin lips pressed into a line, her face filled with determination.

Huang Yu leaped down and caught Tang Miao, spinning to evade. A drop of venom splashed onto his arm, and the sleeve emitted a faint hissing sound as it corroded a hole.

He furrowed his brow and fell onto the sand while holding Tang Miao. Seeing that she had merely fainted, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Yu set Tang Miao down and stood up straight, a murderous glint flashing in his green eyes. He looked at the sand dune and coldly shouted: "Come out!"

... ...

It is called a snake, yet it sits on the ground like an octopus. In the center is a snake's head, while the tail splits into nine snake tails. One of them is coiled around the barely breathing Tang Miao

The wasteland beneath my feet is a white desert, a vast expanse of whiteness under the moonlit night, soft like a piece of silk. There is not a blade of grass in sight, nor a living creature, serene and beautiful.

He soared into the air with the snake meat in hand, gazing leisurely at Tang Miao

Huang Yu smiled and looked up, saying: "Alright, return on your own cloud!"

Although he bowed to Huang Yu, there was not a trace of respect in his tone. His small, beady eyes darted back and forth between Huang Yu and Tang Miao on the ground, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth

Lan Zhao stretched his neck upward and said with a sarcastic smile, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yu! If I can sneak in, I will certainly find a way to sneak out. Oh, my master has already set off and will be waiting to welcome Young Master Yu's glorious return in three months! Lan Zhao will report to my master that Young Master Yu is enjoying a carefree life in the Eastern Wilderness with beautiful company! My master can rest assured!"

Huang Yu wore a stern expression, her fingers flicking in the air, and the shrieks grew louder. A giant snake, three zhang long and entirely black, sprang out of the ground, its tail sweeping up a large cloud of dust.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Tang Miao sniffed as she rose again. After a while, due to the fear in her heart, her mind automatically formed a command, and the clouds descended once more. She wanted to cry, yet was afraid. Crouching down in a ball, she thought in terror, please don't let a snake appear.

The body of the Spectral Serpent emitted a muffled sound, with a green light flickering below its neck. In an instant, the serpent's head shot away. The Spectral Serpent let out a muffled roar, spewing forth several streams of foul-smelling venom. The serpent's tail, entangled with the green vine, went limp, and Tang Miao was abruptly flung away.

The figure of the phoenix feather had already vanished from the sky. Tang Miao looked around in fear, lacking any confidence that she could kill such a large sand horned snake. Not far away, the snow-white body of the sand horned snake was still convulsing. Tang Miao was startled, and before she realized it, she was lifted to a height of three feet by the cloud summoned by her own thoughts

Follow me! If you have the ability, don't fall! What a joke, a fairy flying while squatting, there's no way to laugh one's teeth out!" Huang Yu glanced at her and flew forward without looking back

Alas! Tang Miao truly wanted to let out a long howl to the heavens, clenching her small fist and silently following behind Huang Yu.

The dark and light serpent! As the Phoenix Feather gasped in shock, realizing the danger, its body shot forward like an arrow, with several green tendrils shooting straight down. From the sandy sea, several dark blue tails flew out, entangling with the green tendrils, causing the ground to tremble, and a serpent rose in the center.

Oh, you are a wood spirit. Fire overcomes wood, so you are afraid of fire, right? At worst, I will just eat you like sashimi! Hehe, I eat meat; can you drink blood?

By the way, what kind of beast is the异兽? Lions and tigers? Aliens? Do we count as coming out to hunt?

Huang Yu shouted: "Explode!"

"Shut up!" Huang Yu suddenly stopped, turning her body to stand in front of Tang Miao.

He really does not know if he is here? To attempt to use a ghostly serpent to harm him is to underestimate him too much. Even though his spiritual power is only thirty percent of what it once was, a single ghostly serpent cannot do anything to him. Huang Yu coldly said: "You have come to the wrong place. Your master is in the western region"

Well

After flying for a while, Tang Miao gradually became accustomed to this cloud riding three feet above the ground. She curiously surveyed the wilderness, and the tension brought on by Huang Yu's earlier words had dissipated. Huang Yu floated leisurely in the air, and Tang Miao finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "You mentioned that there are things in the wilderness that a mortal immortal like me can eat; are you referring to exotic beasts?"

"For the sake of your master, I will spare your life tonight. Let me remind you, this is the northern territory. Get lost!" A look of disgust flashed in Huang Yu's eyes as she picked up Tang Miao and soared into the sky.

I enjoy eating meat, and in the past, my favorite was grilled pork belly, which is so fragrant! Can you eat grilled meat? I can grill some for you to enjoy

A green light flashed before my eyes, and the ground ten zhang away suddenly heaved up, churning like waves. With a hissing sound of something piercing through the air, a triangular head, measuring about one foot on each side, emerged from the soil.

The green light entwined around the serpent's body, and suddenly, the giant snake's body was severed. In an instant, the snake's skin shed, and the snake's head flew several zhang away. The giant snake revealed its white body, writhing in pain on the ground. Only then did Huang Yu stop, rush over, and take a pea-sized white pearl from the snake's head and swallow it. Immediately, she cut off a piece of snake meat and said: "I estimate you can eat this"

A strange, cackling laughter echoed across the wasteland. Slowly, a man emerged from behind the sand dunes. He was dressed in a tight-fitting black samurai outfit, with a long black whip wrapped around his waist. His slanted brows and drooping eyes were off-putting at first glance. He clasped his hands together and said, "I, Lan Zhao, have the honor of meeting Young Master Yu. Had I known you were here, I would not have dared to let the Yinming Serpent come out to meet its demise. Fortunately, Young Master Yu has not been harmed; otherwise, it would be difficult for me to explain to the higher-ups."

Tang Miao extended her palm and looked at it, wondering if she could really deal with such a large snake

Oh my God, what is this? A giant python?" Tang Miao exclaimed as he sat on the ground.
