Shen Suhua clenched her fists angrily. She knew that she must try her best to defeat this guy today. Otherwise, both of them would have to answer here.

"Roar." Gu Xiao roared angrily, his figure instantly expanded several times, and the hair all over his body stood on end, as if he had entered a demonic state.

Shen Suhua also summoned the martial spirit and activated the sword element.

In an instant, the momentum of the two people increased.

The mysterious man narrowed his eyes slightly and said grimly: "It's useless. Under the absolute suppression of cultivation, you two have no power to fight back with your meager skills."

"call out!"

Gu Xiao turned into an afterimage and headed towards the mysterious man.

The mysterious man sneered and raised his right arm. Suddenly, a huge fist, carrying the power of destruction, fiercely slammed into Gu Xiao.

"Peng!"

Gu Xiao received a solid blow to his chest, and his whole body was thrown away like a cannonball, breaking seven or eight trees before falling to the ground.

Shen Suhua rushed over to check Gu Xiao's injuries. She saw Gu Xiao lying on the ground, the clothes on his chest had long been torn, his skin was dark blue, and thick hair sprouted, and he looked a bit ferocious.

"Pfft..." Gu Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and said weakly: "What my mother said is indeed right. My body is too fragile. Otherwise, a mere monk in the foundation building stage will not be able to shake my body."

"Ahem..." Gu Xiao coughed again, then took out the healing pill and swallowed it.

At this time, Shen Suhua had already helped Gu Xiao sit up and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

"It's okay."

"You should take a rest first, and wait until you recover some strength before continuing to hunt for treasure." Shen Suhua comforted her softly.

"kindness."

Gu Xiao nodded obediently, then sat cross-legged on the grass, closing his eyes to rest.

Shen Suhua stood up and continued to search around.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, there were waves of strange tremors coming from the ground.

Shen Suhua stopped and asked suspiciously: "Could this illusion array still move?"

Gu Xiao opened his eyes and frowned: "This illusory formation seems to be able to attack people, so be careful."

Shen Suhua took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and reminded: "Step aside."

"Huh?" Gu Xiao was confused.

"Shua——"

At this moment, a thick vine sprang out from the ground, sweeping towards Shen Suhua like a poisonous snake.

"Hmph!" Shen Suhua's pretty face sank, and she swung her dagger and struck the vine hard.

"Ding Dong..." The dagger was blown away by the vine.

"What?" Shen Suhua was startled and hurriedly retreated. However, the vine seemed to have eyes and actually caught up and wrapped around Shen Suhua's waist, pulling her underground.

Shen Suhua turned pale with fright and hurriedly used the sword technique.

In an instant, a sharp frost sword fell from the sky and struck the vines.

"boom……"

The vines exploded and turned into dust.

"Huchi...huchi..." Shen Suhua took a few deep breaths, a look of fear on her pretty face, "What on earth was that vine just now? It can actually move on its own?"

Gu Xiao stared at the ground, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, this should be the 'Earth Vein Demonic Python'!"

"Earth Vein Demon Python?" Shen Suhua said in shock.

Gu Xiao said seriously: "Legend has it that there are many powerful beasts in the Northern Wilderness. They have extremely terrifying power and defense, and they even know how to use some special skills."

Shen Suhua said in shock: "Is this an adult earth-vein demon python?"

"Looking at the situation, it looks like a young earth-vein demon python."

Shen Suhua said worriedly: "What should we do?"

Gu Xiao smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Let's eat it cold."

Although the Earth Vein Demonic Python is only a cub, it still possesses tyrannical power beyond the peak of body tempering. More importantly, its defense is extremely strong, and ordinary attacks cannot cause fatal damage to it.

Shen Suhua said: "Procrastinating like this is not an option!"

Gu Xiao sighed: "Yes, what can we do?"

Just when the two of them were anxious, a dangerous atmosphere suddenly enveloped their hearts.

Shen Suhua turned around quickly and saw a short and fat man appearing three feet away. The short and fat man looked wretched, and his eyes were rolling around, giving off a lustful light.

"Who are you?" Shen Suhua asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe..." The short and fat man licked his dry lips, looked at Shen Suhua's beautiful face greedily, and said with a smile: "You have such a good figure!"

Shen Suhua frowned slightly and reprimanded in a low voice: "You idiot! Stop your wishful thinking and leave immediately."

The short, fat man smiled evilly and said, "Beauty, let's discuss it. If you let me enjoy it, I'll let you go."

"Pooh!"

A look of disgust appeared on Shen Suhua's pretty face, and she said disdainfully: "You stinking gangster!"

"Hey, you go ahead and scold me! Later I will hold you down and ravage you, and I will make sure you beg for mercy." The short, fat man said with a smile.

"You're looking for death!"

Shen Suhua scolded angrily and jumped forward.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of the short and fat man's mouth, "Bang -" the ground exploded, and a green tentacle burst out of the ground and swiped towards Shen Suhua.

The power of this tentacle was so huge that even though Shen Suhua avoided it in time, she was still swept by the tentacle and felt severe pain in her internal organs.

"Whoosh!"

Shen Suhua retreated quickly.

However, the tentacles were like brown sugar, quickly approaching Shen Suhua. At the same time, its other eight tentacles were distributed in eight directions, blocking Shen Suhua's escape route, and finally wrapped around Shen Suhua.

"Tsk..."

Shen Suhua's dress was torn in an instant, revealing her snow-white skin.

These tentacles are like iron ropes, tightly binding Shen Suhua.

"Aww..." the short and fat man said excitedly: "Beauty, I'm coming."

Shen Suhua gritted her teeth and said, "Shameless!"

“Crack!

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and slapped the short, fat man on the head.

"Bang." The short, fat man's head suddenly exploded. The tentacles on his body immediately fell to the ground.

"Thank you..." Shen Suhua breathed a sigh of relief.

"hiss……"

Shen Suhua's back was suddenly pierced, and blood seeped out.

A green centipede crawled to her shoulder and was sucking her blood frantically. It quickly sucked up all her blood.

"Ah...it hurts..." Shen Suhua screamed.

Gu Xiao had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his fingers to grab the green centipede and pinched it hard.

"Crack!"

The green centipede broke instantly.

Shen Suhua suddenly collapsed and fell into a coma from exhaustion, uncertain whether he would live or die.

Gu Xiao picked her up and carefully inspected her injuries. He saw that her left shoulder blade had collapsed and her spine was severely injured. If not treated in time, it would probably lead to paralysis.
