Next, Bibi Dong hacked and slashed her way forward. One moment she was facing a swarm of Blood Bats, and the next, a sudden collapse of the Hell Road. Though tense, she managed to handle it all.
Nan Feng, meanwhile, lay quietly in the great canyon, acting like a freeloader.
No, that wasn't quite right—he wasn't exactly a freeloader. He was constantly providing Bibi Dong with recovery support and helping her suppress the effects of the Bloody Mary toxin, though he couldn't eliminate it entirely.
After all, only when the patient remains ill can the best doctor-patient relationship be maintained.
Bibi Dong only needed to focus on running forward, while he had many more things to consider.
Time flowed slowly.
Bibi Dong noticed that the Hell Road beneath her feet was getting closer and closer to the magma. The surrounding temperature continued to rise, and the baleful aura accumulating within her body became increasingly volatile.
Fortunately, Nan Feng helped her calm down every little while, allowing her to maintain her peak state. Otherwise, this Hell Road would have been truly dangerous.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a giant serpent lunged out from the magma below.
Its body was crimson, its head massive, and there were several blood-red tumors behind its head, making it look rather disgusting.
Looking at the giant serpent before her, Bibi Dong had no desire to get entangled. With her External Spirit Bone, the Six Winged Purple Light Wings, she could simply fly over it. There was no need to fight this monster of unknown strength.
"Kill this snake."
Just as Bibi Dong was about to leap away, Nan Feng's voice rang out.
"There's no need. I don't have to fight it," Bibi Dong said.
She was about to leave the Hell Road, and she didn't know what lay ahead. Anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't waste their stamina fighting a beast like this, right?
There was no benefit to winning, anyway.
"This snake is very nourishing," Nan Feng said.
"How do you know?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
"A feeling," Nan Feng replied.
"You want me to take a risk here based on just a feeling?" Bibi Dong was speechless. She circulated her soul power, preparing to slip away.
"Just give it a try." Nan Feng began to act up again, his cold, slippery body sliding against Bibi Dong's chest.
Bibi Dong's face darkened. "Stop moving!"
"Oh." Nan Feng ceased his little movements.
Taking a deep breath, Bibi Dong carefully observed the giant serpent before her. "I've never seen a snake like this, but to survive in a godforsaken place like this, its strength must be formidable. I won't waste too much time on this thing; the risk is too high."
"Don't worry, I'll help you," Nan Feng said.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "How exactly are you going to help me?"
"Turn into a bird and scare it?"
"Or rely on your current little snake form to seduce it?"
The corner of Nan Feng's eye twitched. "Did I never tell you that I actually possess Spirit Attack capabilities?"
Bibi Dong was stunned. "Spirit Attack? Are you sure your Spirit Attack is effective against an Exotic Beast that's at least tens of thousands of years old?"
"Of course," Nan Feng said confidently.
"Watch closely, I can make it hit itself."
As he finished speaking, Nan Feng directly projected his soul and charged toward the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
The moment their souls collided, Nan Feng successfully seized control of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's body. He then swung the thick, muscular tail and struck the fleshy tumor atop its head.
Splurt!
The tumor burst open. Stimulated by the excruciating pain, the true consciousness of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent came back online, and its massive body began to writhe frantically.
Bibi Dong stared, dumbfounded, as the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent truly began to beat itself up.
"You... how did you do that?"
Spirit Charm?
A level 30 Soul Elder, capable of mentally controlling an Exotic Beast that was at least tens of thousands of years old?
"Xiao Feng?" Bibi Dong looked down and discovered that Nan Feng, who had been lying on her chest in his small snake form, had passed out at some point.
"Xiao Feng?"
"Hey! Stop shaking me!" Nan Feng shouted.
Damn it! It hurts so much!
My brain feels like it's going to explode!
The power of the Sheep Talisman allowed him to briefly perform Possession of another's body, but during that time, everything that body felt would flood into his own mind!
The spirit is based on the physical body, yet it transcends it. During Possession, the memories contained within that physical vessel would crash into his soul!
It was just like a data synchronization connection!
Information spanning decades, centuries, or even thousands and tens of thousands of years flooded his brain in a single instant. If he didn't focus his mind to resist the intrusion of that information, his original data would be overwritten.
To put it bluntly, there was a possibility that he could be "reverse possessed" to a certain extent.
Therefore, when performing Possession, he could only control the opponent's body for a maximum of three seconds. Once those three seconds passed, he had to withdraw voluntarily, or else he risked being assimilated.
"Are you alright?" Bibi Dong looked at the dazed Nan Feng with some concern.
If someone with weak spiritual power launched a Spirit Attack against someone with strong spiritual power, it would have no effect and could even result in a backlash!
A level 30 Soul Elder using a Spirit Attack on an Exotic Beast that was tens of thousands of years old—never mind whether it would be effective, the backlash alone could turn him into an idiot!
"I'm fine." Nan Feng shook his head.
He had withdrawn just in time earlier, preventing the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's thousands of years of memories from overwhelming his mind. It was just that the piercing pain when the tumors burst had left him stunned.
Squelch!
Squelch!
Under Nan Feng's absolute control, the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's consciousness could only come online right as an attack was about to land, meaning it couldn't dodge Bibi Dong's attacks at all. One tumor after another burst under her sharp spider legs.
In fact, as far as the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was concerned, it felt as if it had simply blinked, and Bibi Dong's attack was already upon it; it had no idea what was happening.
It wanted to run, but couldn't; it wanted to fight, but it didn't even have time to move.
Boom!
After a brief battle, the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent finally fell at the hands of Bibi Dong.
Its massive figure slowly descended, eventually being submerged by the molten lava.
At the same time, a blood-colored inner core hovered in the air.
Bibi Dong leaped up and grabbed the inner core. "Is this the supplement you mentioned?"
Come to think of it, this snake, like the Blood Bats from before, did not produce a Spirit Ring upon death. In other words, these Exotic Beasts in the Hell Road were not considered Spirit Beasts.
"Xiao Feng?"
Receiving no answer, Bibi Dong looked down and discovered that the small snake lying against her chest had passed out, its body even beginning to stiffen.
Bibi Dong felt a pang of worry in her heart and quickly pulled Nan Feng out, releasing her spirit power.
The spirit power of a high-level Spirit Master possessed excellent nourishing and restorative effects, even surpassing the healing Spirit Skills of low-level healing Spirit Masters.
Although this restorative effect was greatly weakened under the suppression of Slaughter City, Bibi Dong had no other choice right now.
After a long while, the small snake's stiff body regained its former softness, and Nan Feng opened his eyes in a daze.
"Nan Feng?" Bibi Dong carefully cradled Nan Feng in her palm.
"I'm fine, just tired. I'm going to sleep for a bit..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Nan Feng turned back into a limp snake, collapsing in Bibi Dong's palm.
Bibi Dong let out a sigh of relief.
Overusing one's mental power would lead to this state.
However, how exactly did Nan Feng manage to control a Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent with at least tens of thousands of years of cultivation?
Shaking her head, Bibi Dong placed Nan Feng back against her chest, activated her Six Winged Purple Light Wings, and accelerated toward the path ahead.
After a short flight, an exit with a light source finally appeared at the end of the Hell Road.
Bibi Dong did not stop, maneuvering her Six Winged Purple Light Wings to fly toward the light.
The moment she entered the light, she suddenly felt her body go limp. The surrounding environment turned dark, and a surge of energy poured into her body from all directions.
The dark environment flashed violently as something resembling a Spatial Teleportation Array activated, and Bibi Dong vanished from the end of the Hell Road.
