Inside the dark cavern, Bai Xiaohuan followed a Great Demon snake whose face was as pointed as an awl deeper inside.
The surroundings were deathly still, save for strange hissing sounds. She trembled as she walked. If Li Ling had not kept sending secret voice transmissions to encourage her onward, she would probably have collapsed long ago.
Seeing this, Li Ling could not help sighing inwardly.
Although Bai Xiaohuan had successfully advanced in recent months, she was still timid at heart. She really was unfit for any important task.
Bai Xiaohuan felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Master, this is a snake den! A snake den!
I'm just a little bunny. So what if I've become a Great Demon? I'm still a dish on the table for those snake experts!
"Who's here?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from within.
In the dim cavern, ruby-red eyes glimmered faintly. A python as thick as a barrel could dimly be seen coiled among the stone pillars, radiating a Demon King's aura.
Bai Xiaohuan started shaking again. Her legs splayed outward, trembling incessantly as though someone had flipped a switch. Her ears drooped flat against either side of her head, making her look utterly spineless.
"Master..."
Li Ling ignored her and surveyed the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness. He discovered a dark green python coiled around a stone pillar ahead, but her face was that of a beautiful young human woman. She was indeed Ju Huang, whom he had met before.
Li Ling extended his spiritual consciousness outward and soon discovered another enormous python, emerald green from head to tail, in a cavern farther inside.
Several patches of her scales appeared to have been torn away. Wounds of varying lengths oozed blood and pus as she lay there at death's door.
Most shocking
