Just as Su Zimo was deep in his thoughts, the yellow-robed lady walked over slowly and said softly, "I am Yao Xue from Azure Frost Sect. Thank you for saving me."
Su Zimo's mind was focused on how to undo the iron hoop on the spirit monkey's hand. He only lifted his head and glanced at Yao Xue, not replying.
Yao Xue pondered for a while before saying, "Fellow Daoist, you want to break this beast trapping hoop, right? Why don't I try?"
Su Zimo looked at Yao Xue hesitantly before nodding.
Yao Xue tapped the flying sword in her hand gently with her fingertips. Two beams of spirit light flashed and the sword was instantly covered with a layer of frost. The sword aura was threatening!
Su Zimo observed carefully.
Previously, the flying swords in the hands of the two Qi Refinement Warriors from Joyful Clan only shone with one beam of spirit light. However, the flying sword in Yao Xue's hand shone with two beams of spirit light.
Obviously, the sword in this lady's hand was of a higher grade and sharper!
Su Zimo secretly remembered this change in his heart and paid attention to Yao Xue's every move.
Yao Xue controlled the flying sword from a distance and pointed her slender finger forward. The flying sword drew an arc in mid-air and slashed heavily on the beast trapping hoop.
Bam! Bam!
The beast trapping hoop broke.
The spirit monkey had been sullen for a long time. Suddenly, it broke free from the hoop and became extremely excited. It could not stop howling. Blood was still dripping from its wound but it was oblivious to it.
"Thanks."
Su Zimo nodded at Yao Xue.
"It's nothing." Yao Xue smiled. Suddenly, a doubt arose in her heart. She could not help but ask, "This spirit monkey is a spirit beast that you have tamed?"
Yao Xue could tell that this savage draped in beast skin obviously knew the spirit monkey. This person was most likely here to save the spirit monkey. Saving her was just a matter of convenience.
In the cultivation world, many cultivators would rear spirit beasts to increase their combat power. After the spirit beast made a blood oath, it would not betray the cultivator. Otherwise, it would be punished by the heavens and die from the reverse flow of its blood.
Upon hearing this question, Su Zimo frowned, shook his head and said, "It is my friend."
"Huh?"
Yao Xue blinked her eyes and was filled with confusion. It was really hard for her to imagine how a human could become friends with a spirit beast.
Since ancient times, humans and demons walked different paths. They fought and killed each other constantly, and their relationship worsened. There was only one possibility for them to get along, and that was a master-servant relationship where one of them made a blood oath.
The word 'friend' was a little different when used between two different races. After all, there was an ancient saying that those who were not of the same race had different intentions.
Su Zimo ignored Yao Xue. He walked to the corpses and picked up the five flying swords.
Looking at the almost broken Thunderbolt Saber, Su Zimo hesitated a little, but he still picked it up and put it on his back.
Suddenly!
Su Zimo suddenly felt a sense of danger and turned around.
In the depths of the forest behind him, two dim lights appeared in the darkness. Their auras were terrifying, and they emitted a cold killing intent!
"Hiss!"
Su Zimo gasped in shock. He shouted softly, "Spirit demon, run!"
Before Su Zimo could say anything, the spirit monkey at the side had already run away. Although both its hands and legs were injured and it was limping, it was still light and swift in the forest. Its speed was extremely fast.
Yao Xue was obviously a little flustered and did not know what to do.
Su Zimo did not intend to bother about her. However, Just Now, this girl had broken the Beast Trapping Hoop. If he allowed her to stay here, given her current condition, she would not be able to escape death.
Su Zimo looked at her and said softly, "Follow me!"
As soon as he finished his words, Su Zimo had already walked ahead. Yao Xue's cheeks were faintly red. She gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed behind.
Yao Xue was poisoned by the Aphrodisiac Powder. If she forced out the poison and treated her injuries immediately, there would not be much of an impact.
However, Just Now, she had a fierce battle with the Joyful Seven and her spirit energy was almost depleted. She could not even use the Sword Kinesis Flight. Now, she was gradually unable to suppress the effects of the Aphrodisiac Powder. She only felt that her entire body was burning up and her limbs were weak.
Yao Xue was very clear about the effects of the Aphrodisiac Powder. Even a chaste woman would not be able to withstand the effects of this medicine.
"If I can't take it, I will be eaten by the spirit demons of Cang Lang Mountain Range. I will not be humiliated by others." Yao Xue bit her red lips and secretly made up her mind.
The spirit monkey had already escaped without a trace. The figure of the savage in front was faintly discernible. Yao Xue chased after him with all her might.
The unknown spirit demon continued to follow closely behind her. Its cold gaze did not leave her, as if it was piercing her back.
After running for a while, Yao Xue's legs turned to jelly. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Although she was already prepared to be buried in the beast's mouth, Yao Xue's heart palpitated at the thought of being torn apart and devoured by the spirit demon.
The sound of the spirit demon stepping on the grass behind her was getting closer and closer. The murderous intent was biting cold. Yao Xue could even smell the stench coming from the spirit demon's mouth.
But at this moment, Yao Xue no longer had the strength to escape.
"Forget it. I didn't expect that I, Ji Yaoxue, would be buried here. If father knows about this … sigh."
Yao Xue's stamina was exhausted. She stood on the spot and panted. She only felt aggrieved and overwhelmed with grief. She closed her eyes and two streams of tears flowed down silently.
At this moment, Yao Xue suddenly felt a strong and strong arm around her waist. After that, her body became light and she was brought away from her original spot.
"Miss, this is an emergency. Sorry for the offense." The man's voice rang in her ears.
Yao Xue opened her eyes abruptly and saw Su Zimo's side profile.
"So he didn't abandon me."
At this moment, Yao Xue had an indescribable joy. It was as if she had found a place to vent all her grievances. Her tears flowed like a spring.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
There was a gust of wind and the shadows of the trees receded.
The man held six flying swords in his left hand and hugged a person in his right arm. His speed did not decrease but increased instead!
It was only until now that Yao Xue realized that this man did not use his full strength during the journey earlier. Otherwise, she would not have been able to catch up with him.
"This person is not bad."
Yao Xue felt weak all over. She leaned into the man's arms and sniffed the masculine scent from his body. Coupled with the effects of the aphrodisiac, she felt a little delirious.
Yao Xue was shocked. She quickly bit the tip of her tongue and tried her best to stay awake.
The man seemed to be very familiar with Cang Lang Mountain Range. Sometimes he would dash to the east and sometimes he would turn to the west. Along the way, although Yao Xue could hear the roars of the spirit beasts, she did not encounter any attacks from them.
After some time, Yao Xue felt dizzy. Her arms instinctively wrapped around the man's neck and her slender legs wrapped around him.
She clearly knew that this was not right, but her body was not under her control.
Yao Xue's consciousness gradually blurred.
At this moment, the man's voice sounded again. "Miss, wake up!"
"Wu wu."
Yao Xue's body was boiling hot. Her face was flushed red and she was sleep-talking. She felt as if she was pushed away forcefully, but she pounced on him again …
Splash!
The sound of water could be heard.
The ubiquitous cold enveloped Yao Xue's boiling hot body. She quivered and woke up. Her eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"Where, where is this?"
Yao Xue shivered and asked in a trembling voice. At the same time, she looked around.
This was a narrow and small cave. She had fallen into a cold pond. There were no other decorations around.
Although the effects of the hehuan powder were still there, the bone-chilling coldness from the pond kept stimulating Yao Xue's nerves, allowing her to stay awake.
"You are a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Coupled with the power of this cold pond, you should be able to neutralize the effects of the hehuan powder."
After saying this, the man turned and left.
Before leaving, the man found a few pieces of wolf skin from somewhere and covered the entrance of this narrow cave.
The man's footsteps gradually faded away.
Looking at all this, Yao Xue felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She had fallen into the pond. Her clothes were already wet and could not cover her body at all. Her graceful body was faintly discernible. However, the man did not look sideways and was very attentive. He was afraid that she would feel awkward, so he covered the entrance of the cave.
Although the effects of the hehuan powder were strong, it was not a threat to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
It was just that Yao Xue did not have a chance to force out the effects of the hehuan powder. Now that she had regained her consciousness, she hurriedly took out an elixir from her storage bag and put it into her mouth. Then, she started to circulate the spirit mantra.
At this moment, the man's voice could be heard from outside. It was mixed with the sound of the spirit monkey. The man and the monkey seemed to be communicating.
The man's voice was neither loud nor soft. However, it was just loud enough for Yao Xue to hear.
Yao Xue's heart warmed.
The man was using this method to tell her that he had been outside the cave all along. He did not go far or near so that she could heal her injuries at ease.
"This person … is really interesting." Yao Xue smiled faintly, looking beautiful and flawless.
