The others were not fools either. When they heard this, they immediately understood the implication of Ran Die's words, and their faces became more serious.

Banglu ate the pile of lamb legs in front of him clean, then simply raised his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and looked at the others with awkward smiles: "I'm full, we can go in."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun turned around and looked at the others. Seeing that they all nodded at her, she was the first to take a step towards the entrance of the valley.

He Lian'er was like a protected child at this time, walking in the center of the crowd.

While she was looking around, she was secretly observing Zhao Yun's every move in front of her.

Originally, she planned to find a way to get rid of Zhao Yun while completing the mission.

But after hearing what Ran Die said just now, she also realized the danger of this mission and decided to temporarily change the plan. After Zhao Yun and these people solved the giant python that was endangering the villagers, she would find a way to get rid of Zhao Yun.

As for the other few people, it depends on their luck.

If they had not caught her harming Zhao Yun, they would have kept their names for now and could have served as witnesses for her.

But if they doubt me or happen to ruin my plan, I will deal with them all at once.

When He Lian'er thought about this, there was a sinister look in her eyes, and her thin lips curled up into a bloodthirsty sneer. Her eyes also intentionally or unintentionally swept across Zhao Yun's back.

Just when she thought that the surroundings were dark and no one noticed her, she didn't realize that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Ran Die, who took a few quick steps and happened to be walking beside He Lian'er.

Ran Die was startled and felt a chill and numbness rushing up her spine, causing goose bumps to appear on her arms.

He Lian'er's eyes were so scary, as if there was a terrible devil hidden in her body.

She quickened her pace again and soon caught up with Zhao Yun.

Just as the two of them were walking side by side, Ran Die turned her head and looked at Zhao Yun, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Zhao Yun had been looking forward. She felt someone following her. She turned her head and saw that it was Ran Die. She smiled at her and said, "What's wrong? You look so serious. Are you scared? This is not like you."

They have known each other for three years. During these three years, what she saw most was Ran Die's icy face. This was the first time she saw worry on her face.

She thought that after she joked like this, Ran Die would stubbornly retort that "I'm not afraid", but this time Ran Die did not do as she wished.

She just nodded slightly and uttered two cold words: "Scared."

Zhao Yun paused and almost fell because she lost her balance.

She supported the sword with one hand and looked up at Ran Die in disbelief: "You..."

Ran Die knew that she had misunderstood, so she bent down to help Zhao Yun, and looked in a certain direction behind her with a meaningful look.

Zhao Yun followed her line of sight and saw He Lian'er, and immediately understood what Ran Die meant.

She was surprised at Ran Die's sharp mind, but stopped her before she opened her mouth: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. The sect knows that this mission is difficult, and we have also instructed you to save your life first if you encounter danger."

She didn't lower her voice on purpose, just so that everyone in the team could hear it.

After saying that, she secretly gave Ran Die a warning look.

Ran Die felt relieved when she saw this.

It turned out that Senior Sister Zhao knew everything, so there was no need for her to worry about her. The heavy look on her face slowly dissipated.

When the others heard this, their nervous hearts suddenly relaxed.

But there was no smile on He Lian'er's face.

He Ronger will go to Lingyun Sect next month.

The more outstanding she is and the more famous she becomes, the greater the threat she poses to him. If someone brings up the death of his eldest brother again in the future, I'm afraid no one will stand on his side.

Zhao Yun was the only living person who had heard her conversation with He Ronger with her own ears, so she absolutely could not keep her.

This is her best chance to get rid of Zhao Yun. If she misses it, it will be difficult in the future.

The group continued walking into the valley.

The further you go in, the more trees and vegetation there are.

Moreover, due to the terrain, this place is humid all year round. The towering trees block the sunlight completely, and the light is getting dimmer and dimmer. The air is filled with the smell of rot and mold, and from time to time you can see half-eaten corpses and rotten meat in the grass or beside tree stumps.

The other members of the team have been training outside for many years and have seen all kinds of environments, so they are used to it.

But this was the first time for He Lian'er to experience this kind of training.

She covered her nose, looked around with disdain, and said in a spoiled tone: "Senior Sister Zhao, it stinks in here. Should we go in?"

She had been pampered in the He family since she was a child. After joining the sect, she was punished by her master to stay in the back mountain. The greatest suffering she had experienced was talking to herself facing a few stone walls all year round. She had never seen such a harsh environment.

When the others heard He Lian'er calling her "young lady" in that tone, their faces darkened. However, they felt guilty for taking someone else's money, and thinking of the three hemostatic pills on their bodies, they held back and said nothing.

Zhao Yun knew that He Lian'er's words had already made her lose some points in the eyes of other team members, and she sneered in her heart.

But she still smiled and comforted him: "Junior Sister Lian'er, the giant python is in the center of the valley. We still have to walk for an hour to get there. It's always like this when we go out on missions. We have encountered even harsher environments before. Just bear with it."

He Lian'er curled her lips and nodded helplessly.

At this time, Wang Yan, who was walking at the side, suddenly pointed at a spirit beast corpse not far away and shouted, "Senior Sister Zhao, look, that corpse seems to have just died not long ago."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that the body was covered in blood. The blood looked black in the darkness, but it still had a hint of warmth.

Zhao Yun walked over first, walked around the beast, then came to the corpse and checked it. He said in a deep voice: "The bones of this beast are all broken, and its internal organs are all squeezed and bleeding. It must have died from being squeezed and entangled. It seems that the giant python is nearby. Everyone must be vigilant!"

Everyone tensed up and watched carefully for any movement around them, fearing that they would be entangled by a giant python that suddenly jumped out.

According to the villagers who provided clues, the giant python was huge, with a tail as thick as an adult's waist, and its cultivation was also quite high. If it was entangled, even cultivators like them would be ravaged.

At this time, He Lian'er also came over. She frowned and glanced at the corpse on the ground, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "It seems that the giant python has eaten enough, otherwise there wouldn't be so much meat left. Senior Sister Zhao, do you think we should poison this corpse, and then wait here until the giant python is hungry and comes back to eat?"
