Ah Bao cried out, and Fang Yuxin also noticed the monster in Ah Bao’s eyes. In fact, it was not a monster, but a mutated venomous snake. Fang Yuxin hadn’t seen it when she was searching with her Spiritual Sense until it suddenly appeared, and only then did she realize there was a narrow passage underneath. This passage was irregular, apparently burrowed out by the mutated venomous snake itself.
It was unknown where it had gone before, but now it returned along the narrow passage, coincidentally encountering the exchange between Ah Bao and the Mutated Wild Ginseng. However, there was actually no need for Ah Bao to be afraid, as Fang Yuxin had previously set up a spherical Barrier to trap the Mutated Wild Ginseng completely inside it.
The mutated venomous snake had appeared later, and thus it was actually separated outside the Barrier. Because the Barrier was colorless and transparent, and the snake, being considerably larger after its mutation, was quite close, Ah Bao felt an intense fear as if the enemy were right next to him.
After screaming, Ah Bao contacted Fang Yuxin through psychic communication, "Aaah! A snake! A snake! Hurry, save me! No, save us both!" Even in such a critical moment, Ah Bao had not thought about abandoning the rare fellow species and escaping.
Fang Yuxin noticed that the Mutated Wild Ginseng also seemed quite scared, with its leaves and red seeds trembling continuously. With a thought, she cast a spirit light, covering both the Mutated Wild Ginseng and Ah Bao, and collected them into Qingmu Spiritual Mansion.
The Mutated Wild Ginseng, shocked by this sudden turn of events, began to struggle frantically. Ah Bao, clinging to it, quickly said, "Don’t be nervous, the master is taking you to a nice place!"
Perhaps reassured by Ah Bao’s calming words, the Mutated Wild Ginseng finally stopped struggling and was successfully collected by Fang Yuxin into the space. She placed them in the Medicine Field, whereupon the Mutated Wild Ginseng was slightly dumbfounded—where exactly was this place?
It was still Ah Bao who stepped up as a senior and helped the Mutated Wild Ginseng find a secluded spot in the Medicine Field, then said to it, "Quick! Right here! Root yourself and just bury yourself."
The Mutated Wild Ginseng did not refuse. Though its spiritual wisdom was not high, it could instinctively distinguish which places were more suitable for plant growth—a plant’s innate ability. This Medicine Field was much better than where it had grown before, and it could certainly see that. So, as soon as Ah Bao suggested it, the plant unhesitatingly rooted itself deeply. Meanwhile, outside Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, as Ah Bao and the Mutated Wild Ginseng abruptly disappeared, the mutated venomous snake that had spotted them became instantly enraged!
Sensing the direction in which Ah Bao and the others had vanished, its body straightened instantly, shooting out from the ground like an arrow, attacking Fang Yuxin!
However, before it could get close to Fang Yuxin, a black sword light flashed. Along with this flash, a black light appeared instantaneously on the body of the snake. This black light flickered and vanished, blocking Bai Ye’s sword light. Nevertheless, the mutated venomous snake was severely injured, a deep, bone-visible sword cut appearing on its body.
Immediately afterward, it shrunk back into the bushes, disappearing in the blink of an eye, hiding among the low shrubs. It was remarkably well hidden, such that even other superpower users of the same level might not be able to detect it. Unfortunately, it had encountered Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye—two formidable opponents.
With just one sweep of their Spiritual Sense, the two quickly pinpointed its location!
Without waiting for Fang Yuxin to speak, Bai Ye’s Dragon Scale Sword had already stabbed out! However, the cunning mutated venomous snake dodged again! Following that, it suddenly opened its mouth, exhaling a large cloud of black fog. The color of the fog was extraordinarily sinister, and it also carried a rich, foul odor.
As the fog continued to spread towards them, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye quickly retreated with Angela and Bai Er. Meanwhile, Bai Ye’s gaze turned cold, and he leaped into the air, slashing fiercely with his Dragon Scale Sword!
This strike was intensely forceful, and Bai Ye’s Dragon Scale Sword even emitted a dragon’s roar. Following this roar, the mutated venomous snake suddenly stiffened. Its speed was very fast, having previously managed to evade Bai Ye’s sword light due to its speed. However, this time, as its body stiffened, it could no longer dodge Bai Ye’s attack.
