Chapter 64: The Master of the Stone Tablet

Ye Ling was circling around with several monsters.

In fact, she had thought about never coming back.

Since she was young, she had been trapped in the tormenting formation of refining monsters, and after escaping from extreme pain, she made a blood oath to become someone else's servant, forced to watch his gloomy face every day and be ordered to kill people.

After finally encountering Qin Yi, who treated her well, she was freed from the blood oath and could listen to stories freely. But the good days didn't last long before she was almost killed by Ming He's formation. Before her injuries had healed, she had to fight a life-and-death battle with the eagle monster and wolf monster, her body torn apart by their fangs, blood flowing.

Qin Yi said she was very powerful, but she never felt that she was powerful because she was always being abused.

So when she encountered something, her first reaction was to run away with her head in her hands.

These monsters couldn't run faster than her at all. She could easily run to the outside of the Skeleton Sea and find a cave to hide in...

But Qin Yi was in a bloody battle...

The only one who treated her well, Qin Yi... standing in front of the terrifying Ming He, protecting her...

She didn't even understand why Qin Yi, who clearly wasn't a match for the three-eyed wolf monster, dared to face it alone. But no matter what, since Qin Yi was in a bloody battle, she wouldn't hide.

Not only could she not hide, she couldn't run too fast either, so that these monsters wouldn't lose track of her and go back. She had to lead them on, make them feel like they could catch up... and then she couldn't run outward, she had to circle back, so as not to be too far from Qin Yi.

Ye Ling felt that she completely understood Qin Yi's intentions. She was still very clever, not a stupid snake.

At most, she was a cowardly snake.

"Whoosh!" Before an ice blade shot towards her, Ye Ling swiftly moved in an arc and hid behind a boulder.

Several monsters surrounded her from both sides.

"A bunch of idiots." Ye Ling spread her wings and flew over their heads, turning back on her way.

A mosquito the size of a ball flew towards her, its mouth as thick and long as chopsticks...

Ye Ling found it disgusting and instinctively spewed out a ball of black fire, wanting to burn this disgusting thing to ashes.

She didn't know that whenever she wanted to engage in battle, her eyes would instantly become extremely fierce. The mosquito flapped its wings and was about to face Ye Ling's gaze, suddenly feeling a sense of fear, instinctively making way for her. Ye Ling passed by it directly.

The mosquito was stunned for a moment, not knowing why it suddenly became afraid, and chased after her again.

Winged Serpent, fierce and terrifying.

Ye Ling couldn't fully unleash her true talent, nor did she have a good sense of combat. If it were an experienced fighter, just the momentary pass would have killed the mosquito.

A little girl with a group of strange monsters was fleeing on the hill. In the depths of the clouds, an emaciated old man held a mirror and looked at this scene, murmuring to himself, "Winged Serpent... it's really a help from heaven."

The old man thought for a moment and shifted the scene to the location of the blood lotus. The blood lotus had already grown four petals, with the fifth petal halfway grown.

"It's almost there." He suddenly smiled and muttered some words.

The peaches on the giant tree flew inexplicably amidst the battle between the monsters, flying towards Ye Ling. The group of bloodthirsty monsters were stunned for a moment, then rushed after them.

The old man watched this scene with satisfaction, his eyes filled with anticipation. "The blood of the Winged Serpent, and the Beast Core... I wonder how much surprise they will bring me."

Just as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. "Who?"

There was a loud noise in front of the Cave Mansion, and his protective formation was shattered, revealing a graceful figure amidst the smoke and dust. She slowly walked into the cave and said, "Flood Dragon protects the blood lotus, the monsters chase Winged Serpent, but have you ever thought that you are actually very fragile?"

"How dare you!" The old man formed a hand seal, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The figure suddenly approached, a hurricane rising, and within the Cave Mansion, no light could be seen anymore.

In the midst of a fierce battle, the mirror was shaken off the wall and fell into the corner, still reflecting the figure of Ye Ling, who had been fleeing all the way. At this moment, she was passing by a withered tree, closely followed by a leopard.

Suddenly, a wolf-toothed club grew beside the withered tree and smashed down on the leopard's head with a loud "bang."

Ye Ling shouted, "Brother, be careful above!"

It was Qin Yi, who had been lying in ambush for a long time. With one strike, he appeared and immediately noticed a huge mosquito stabbing towards him from above. Without hesitation, Qin Yi swung the wolf-toothed club and smashed it towards the mosquito.

The mosquito quickly dodged, and the wolf-toothed club flew into the sky. It revealed a sinister smile, thinking that this human's mind was abnormal. The human's meager power was not enough to practice swordsmanship, and the club couldn't come back after being thrown. Did he really think he could hit the mosquito with just one strike?

It continued to swoop down, and as long as it stung, it would be enough to suck this ignorant human dry.

Suddenly, a strong wind came from behind. It instinctively dodged, but failed to avoid it. Half of its body was crushed by the wolf-toothed club, turning into fragments.

It never understood how the wolf-toothed club could come back.

Ye Ling turned back and exclaimed, "Brother, you're amazing! We're not afraid of the remaining ones anymore!"

Qin Yi also felt relieved. Looking at the two or three monsters chasing after them, he thought that with Ye Ling's strength, they already had a good chance of winning this battle.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a billowing smoke from the side, as if countless monsters were rushing towards them. A peach flew swiftly towards Ye Ling's head from the sky.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Yi swung his club and hit a perfect home run, sending the peach flying into the sky, not knowing where it went.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

The monsters stayed away from the peach, and their minds seemed to regain some clarity. They were momentarily confused.

Qin Yi was also confused. He had swung the club instinctively, but he didn't expect that the peach, which was obviously manipulated to harm Ye Ling, could easily be sent flying. Was the other side joking?

In the next moment, the gazes of the group of monsters all fell on Qin Yi, gleaming with hunger.

"Human..."

"Tender human flesh..."

"It's been a long time since we've had human meat. It smells so good..."

Countless monsters drooled and approached, saying, "Mine, don't snatch it..."

Qin Yi couldn't help but complain. Did you not see the peach that was just killed, causing a river of blood? Why don't you go snatch the peach?

In the previous moment, he was still blaming Ye Ling for causing trouble, but now he had become a meat bun himself. He hadn't even switched back to the mindset of being a protective older brother, how did it turn out like this?

"Boom!"

Countless spells and demonic techniques attacked from all directions. Ye Ling quickly transformed into her original form, carrying Qin Yi on her back and flew away.

Qin Yi held onto Ye Ling's snake body and looked back at the vast army of monsters chasing after them. He felt extremely helpless and said, "Even if Ming He comes, there's nothing he can do!"

Liu Su's voice came, "There's only one way, lure them back to the demon refining formation."

Qin Yi was stunned, "The demon refining formation? Ye Ling can't go in there."

Liu Su said coldly, "Without the peach, at least it won't harm her mental state. As for the refining effect inside the demon refining formation, she'll have to endure it. She must endure it."

Qin Yi shook his head and said to Ye Ling, "Go to the side of the demon refining formation, but don't go in. Find a place to hide, and I'll go in and figure out a solution."

Ye Ling's body trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything and silently disappeared.

Her speed was extremely fast, and in no time, she saw the giant tree with long peaches again. There were no more monsters surrounding it, and she could clearly see another stone tablet standing under the tree. Without thinking, she rushed straight towards the obvious demon refining formation pattern on the ground.
