Walking out of the tunnel, Xiao Lingyu arrived at the valley and immediately felt his whole body wrapped in warmth.
He had stayed in a dark place like the Ancient God's cavern for a few years and had almost forgotten the existence of sunlight. At this moment, the sunlight shone on his body, making him feel as if he had seen the light of day again and had been reborn.
After squinting his eyes for a while, he looked up at the sky.
He saw countless feathers of different colors floating slowly under the sunlight, covering the sky and the sun. It was a spectacular sight. Some of the feathers were hundreds of feet long, while others were as soft as catkins.
Xiao Lingyu then remembered what Jiang Lanyue had said. This was the Feiyu Continent of the Cultivation World. At the same time, he also remembered that this was the depths of an ancient forest. In this ancient forest, there were countless Ferocious Beasts and Demonic Beasts. Many powerful cultivators on the Feiyu Continent did not dare to set foot in this place.
"Now that I'm out of the Ancient God's cavern, how can I get out of this ancient forest safely?"
Xiao Lingyu, who still had no cultivation, could not help but feel a little distressed.
No matter what, he had to recover from his injuries first. Fortunately, he had the protection of the colorful light. Otherwise, he would have become a pair of white bones in the Ancient God's cavern and been sealed for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu naturally missed the days when he was with Jiang Lanyue. At the same time, he felt a little more grateful for Jiang Lanyue's protection. At the same time, he also hated his so-called "cousin".
"I have no enmity with you. You failed to attack me first and even sneak attacked me at the end. It's all because I'm a mortal. When I become a master one day, I'll definitely trample you under my feet!"
"Ant? I definitely don't want to be an ant! "
Xiao Lingyu swore in her heart that this was a reaction that a man should have after being provoked. She just didn't know if he would be able to remember this and use it as motivation. Under normal circumstances, many men would just vent their anger and forget it completely after a short while. After all, the difference between the two was too big.
After staying in the valley for another day, Xiao Lingyu's injuries were almost healed. It wasn't because of his strong recovery ability, but because Jiang Lanyue had blown too much of the multicolored light on his body over the years. The light still remained in his body, allowing him to slowly recover from his injuries. It also prevented him from starving and losing his life.
Although a few years had passed and Xiao Lingyu should have grown a few years older, other than growing taller, his appearance did not change at all. He still looked like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, but in fact, he was almost twenty-five years old.
Xiao Lingyu finally made up his mind to leave the valley. However, when he reached the valley's exit, he heard the roars of beasts. His heart trembled, and he looked around with a guilty conscience.
This valley might not always be safe. Being in the Desolate Ancient Forest, one could lose one's life at any time. Moreover, in a few days, Xiao Lingyu would feel the hunger and thirst again. He simply could not afford to delay.
Xiao Lingyu still resolutely left the valley. He randomly chose a direction and walked straight ahead.
Only half a day after leaving the valley, Xiao Lingyu encountered a ferocious beast.
This ferocious beast was shaped like a fierce tiger, but it had three eyes. Its body was as large as a small mountain. Its appearance scared Xiao Lingyu to the spot. However, just as Xiao Lingyu was in despair and felt that he couldn't escape this time, the ferocious beast that was pouncing towards him suddenly stopped about ten meters away from him.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that the ferocious beast lowered its head and sniffed around. As if it smelled something that terrified it, it actually turned around and flew away, disappearing before Xiao Lingyu's eyes.
"What's going on?" Xiao Lingyu pondered in confusion.
He naturally couldn't understand, so after calming down a little, he continued to walk forward.
Just like this, nine days passed very quickly. During this period, Xiao Lingyu encountered a few more ferocious beasts, but each time, it was a false alarm. When the ferocious beasts saw him, it was as if they had seen a god. They didn't dare to get too close and ran away every time.
However, after nine days, Xiao Lingyu felt hungry and thirsty. He couldn't help but glance at the wild fruits in his arms.
Xiao Lingyu was a little hesitant. These wild fruits looked sweet, but this was the Cultivation World after all. Wild fruits here couldn't be eaten casually. As a mortal, if he swallowed a fruit that contained a terrifying amount of energy, his body would probably explode.
Jiang Lanyue had already told Xiao Lingyu about these things before.
However, if he didn't eat them, he would starve to death sooner or later. What should he do?
It was better not to eat them first. Perhaps he would be out of this Ancient Forest in a while.
Holding on to this hope, Xiao Lingyu continued to endure. However, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and this Ancient Forest seemed to have no end.
Finally, Xiao Lingyu stopped beside a pool under a waterfall. He fell to the ground and panted heavily. His eyes were a little dazed. He knew that he couldn't hold on any longer.
Lying flat beside the pool and listening to the rumbling sounds, the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared.
He took out all the wild fruits he had picked in the forest and placed them in front of him. He began to choose which one to eat first.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't notice was that in the pool behind him, a huge snake head as large as a house emerged from the water. It originally had a sound, but it was drowned out by the roar of the waterfall.
When Xiao Lingyu finally made up his mind to eat the most ordinary-looking red fruit, a fishy wind suddenly swept over, and the red fruit in his hand disappeared.
Looking at his empty hand, Xiao Lingyu was very surprised and puzzled. Where did the fruit go?
These fruits are indeed not simple. They can even run away on their own. However, it's fine if it runs away. It's not a good thing for me to eat that kind of spiritual fruit.
After comforting himself, Xiao Lingyu picked up another fruit. However, this fruit also disappeared after a gust of fishy wind. This naturally made him feel that it was too strange.
Before Xiao Lingyu could pick up the other fruits beside him, those fruits disappeared. However, Xiao Lingyu had already sensed that something was wrong behind him.
He slowly turned around, and his brain immediately stopped working. His eyes widened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
In the pool behind him, a purplish-green snake head was floating on the surface of the water. The two green eyes on the snake head were staring at him, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine.
The snake's mouth had two rows of teeth that were as sharp as swords, and its long tongue was flicking in and out.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu could guess that the fruits he picked were all in the snake's mouth.
The snake's mouth was chewing, as if it was tasting delicious food.
After Xiao Lingyu came back to his senses, he immediately used his butt to push against the ground and slowly moved back, wanting to get away from the snake.
How could the snake let Xiao Lingyu leave like this? Although it had just eaten Xiao Lingyu's fruit, it still had a natural desire to kill such an uninvited guest.
The snake spat out its thick and wide tongue, rolled Xiao Lingyu's body up, and sent him into its mouth.
In a panic, Xiao Lingyu took out the silver needle that he used to sneak an attack on him and stabbed the snake's tongue.
The serpent's tongue should be tough enough to break gold and stone, but under the attack of the silver needle, it was as weak as tofu. The silver needle pierced into the serpent's tongue without any resistance.
The giant snake let out a painful roar, shaking Xiao Lingyu so much that he felt dizzy.
In pain, the snake released its tongue, and Xiao Lingyu regained his freedom and fell to the ground.
Xiao Lingyu knew that he was in a very dangerous situation. He was prepared to use the last of his strength to escape, but he saw that the snake's body was glowing with silver light, and it kept roaring in pain. It kept twisting its body in the pool, and its expression was a little twisted.
Xiao Lingyu could see that the snake was suffering unparalleled pain and was probably not far from death.
The snake did not attack him again. After struggling for a while, it floated weakly on the surface of the water and looked at him pitifully.
Seeing the snake's expression, Xiao Lingyu's heart softened, but he did not let down his guard. Instead, he quietly sized up the snake, and then asked tentatively, "Can you understand me?"
The serpent was stunned for a moment before it nodded, looking very obedient.
"Then will you still attack me?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
The snake shook its head, and when it looked at Xiao Lingyu, there was a trace of fear.
"Are you in pain, and you want me to help you?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
The snake nodded again, but Xiao Lingyu was confused. He was only a mortal, so why was the snake afraid of him? Why was it asking him for help?
Just as Xiao Lingyu was doubting himself, the snake spat out its tongue, but it did not attack him. Instead, it was delivered to him.
After a few glances, Xiao Lingyu discovered the silver needle on the snake's tongue.
The silver needle had already pierced deeply into the snake's tongue, but it seemed to have expanded a lot. It no longer looked like a silver needle, but more like a silver pestle.
"Do you want me to help you pull it out?" Xiao Lingyu asked the pitiful snake with a pained expression.
The snake nodded.
Xiao Lingyu was a little hesitant. He did not know if he could pull it out, but if he really could, would the snake continue to attack him?
If he could not pull it out, would the snake attack him when it saw that he could not save it?
After thinking about it, he still felt that he could not act rashly. He said to the snake, "You dared to sneak an attack on me just now. This is your punishment. I will help you pull it out after I feel that you are sincerely repentant."
The snake immediately lowered its head, and its expression was full of sorrow. Xiao Lingyu was secretly happy. At the same time, he felt that his decision was very wise.
"You can repent here. I will leave first." After all, Xiao Lingyu was a mortal. He did not dare to stay in front of such a ferocious beast, and hurriedly left.
