She is a mad villain and it is hard to tell whether she is good or evil

She was absolutely vindictive and cruel. Zhou Chumu stabbed her at that time, and she was doing him justice by repaying him tenfold now. She hoped that everyone else was alive and waiting for her to seek revenge, otherwise it would be too easy for them to die like this.

A Yu and his companions had already set up another tent, and when Shen Ruo came back, they were practicing.

"Master, there is a secret place ahead."

"The little tail that was following us has been shaken off."

"Ah."

"Enter the secret realm."

"Yes."

After listening to Shen Ruo's instructions, a group of people cheered up and entered the secret realm. Secret realms like this are usually accompanied by opportunities and crises. Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. If you don't fight hard, what's the point?

There was a flash of white light before their eyes, and everyone was teleported to different places. Xiaobai bit Shenruo's clothes tightly to prevent them from being thrown away, and Haoyue also tightly wrapped around Shenruo's arms.

The solid ground around became soft, and the sand sank gently, making people feel as if they would sink at any time. The air around became hot, and the sunlight above was extremely hot. I could feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in the secret realm. It was not an illusion, but reality.

After putting on the hat, Xiaobai jumped up due to the heat. The sand on the ground was already extremely hot. Shen Ruo put a spiritual power shield on himself and Xiaobai to directly isolate them from the scorching heat.

Riding on Xiaobai, he observed the surrounding environment. It was an endless desert, with no oasis in sight. What kind of spiritual treasure would appear in such a poor secret place? It was really puzzling. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a sip of water from his storage ring, and stuffed a spiritual fruit into Xiaobai's mouth.

"Master, it's so hot. There are many monsters under the sand. I can smell them."

"Ok, I know."

There were still many traces of monsters crawling on the ground around, but at this moment the sun was hanging high in the sky and no monsters came out to move around.

After walking for an hour with the compass, Shen Ruo's eyes lit up and he finally saw an oasis not far away. The scorching temperature made the scenery in the distance distorted, and the little ones were also a little irritated by the heat.

Ayu and the others had not yet found Shen Ruo to join them, and they did not know if they had encountered any danger, but it had nothing to do with her. After all, Shen Ruo had told them very clearly when they left that if they stayed, their strength might not improve as fast, but their lives would be saved. If they left and followed her, they would have better training resources and higher achievements, and whether their lives could be saved or not was up to their own good fortune.

"Xiaobai, run faster, it's hot."

"Ouch~"

When Xiaobai heard Shenruo say this, he immediately ran away, wishing he could reach the Oasis immediately. The running Xiaobai brought up a gust of wind, which made Shenruo feel a lot better.

The oasis is surrounded by a dense jungle and in the center is a green lake. The water is clear and the leaves sway gently in the wind. The surroundings look peaceful and tranquil, as if there is no danger.

Before reaching the oasis, Xiaobai stopped abruptly and kept circling in the place. He was very thirsty but did not dare to drink the water in the lake, which made Shenruo more cautious. After all, the oasis in the desert was not only for them to fight for, but also the territory of many spiritual beasts.

"Master, there is the breath of a powerful monster cub inside." Haoyue spoke to Shenruo in the Spirit Sea.

"Cub?"

"Yes, because I feel that its aura is very unstable. It is definitely impossible for it to be an adult monster."

"There is a cave deep inside. It should be inside the cave."

"I see."

"Go drink." When Xiaobai heard Shenruo say this, he swaggered to the water's edge and started drinking the water in big gulps.

Many magical beasts around hid behind the bushes and stared at Shen Ruo. They were all non-aggressive spiritual beasts. They filled the water bag with purified water. She could release the water spiritual power to drink it herself, but she could not drink her own water spiritual power for a long time, otherwise it would produce impurities, so she had to use a water bag.

Shen Ruo found a shady spot to rest. Using the spiritual power shield was really too draining of his spiritual power and mental energy, so he swallowed a pill to restore his spiritual power and sat cross-legged to recover his spiritual power.

Haoyue saw Shenruo resting, and Xiaobai also lay down beside Shenruo to guard her, while Haoyue dived into the water and explored deep into the water.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Ruo opened his eyes and found that Haoyue was gone, so he continued to regulate his breathing.

Ayu also stumbled and found the oasis. When Shenruo saw Ayu covered in scars, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"It seems you still haven't practiced enough."

"Master, I am incompetent. I will go and heal myself."

A Yu walked aside without saying a word and took a pill to regulate his breathing. This secret realm was indeed very dangerous as it could hurt a person in the Jindan stage like this.

Three quarters of an hour later, Haoyue had not returned yet. Shenruo noticed something was wrong and asked Ayu to keep an eye on Xiaobai. Xiaobai was not good at swimming, so Shenruo jumped into the water directly.

A ball of purple flame led the way ahead. It was Shen Ruo's innate spiritual fire, the Nine Netherworld Flame. Fire and water were incompatible, and ordinary water could not extinguish this flame at all. Passing through the underwater passage, Shen Ruo came ashore. Feeling the breath of the bright moon, Shen Ruo slowly walked into the cave.

The spiritual power in his hands was gathered, ready to launch an attack at any time. The dark atmosphere in the cave made people shudder, as if there was an invisible uneasiness surrounding them, making people alert.

He accidentally kicked a stone, and in this deep cave, the silence was broken by a terrifying echo, which made people feel creepy, as if there were countless eyes staring at Shen Ruo around.

In an instant, pairs of bright red eyes flashed around, and spiritual power burst out instantly. A cave was filled with low-level vampire bats hanging upside down. They were originally sleeping, but were all awakened by Shen Ruo. They flapped their wings and pounced towards Shen Ruo.

The sharp teeth were shining in the light of the flames. No wonder the cave was so dark. It turned out that it was full of black vampire bats. It was pitch black.

The purple flame fell into the group of bats. There was a spiritual power shield in front of Shen Ruo. A smell of burning bats came out and fell to the ground with crackling sounds. Shen Ruo changed the way and walked in. It was a dead end with nothing.

Shen Ruo directly left the cave. He clearly felt the breath of Haoyue inside, so how could it be gone?

Could it be that she didn't find the right way? She went into the cave again and walked around, burning bats again, but still couldn't find the second way.

I came out and looked around, but didn't see any formation nearby. Where did he go?

She dived directly into the water, returned the same way, and came out of the water again. This time Shen Ruo found that the surrounding environment had changed. So that's why the formation was in the water. No wonder she didn't feel it.

This time the cave was clean and tidy, and there was no eerie feeling at all. There were also many spirit beasts looking at her everywhere.

"Hey, little girl, why are you here?"

I saw a handsome man in a purple gown, with a sword on his waist, walking towards me calmly. He had sword-like eyebrows, eyes like stars, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, like a young man from a wealthy family who came out to gain experience.

Shen Ruo frowned. How could there be someone here? Could someone have found this place before her?

"Big brother, I'm lost. I'm looking for my spirit beast." Shen Ruo said pitifully.

"Let us help you find it." A beautiful and gentle woman came over, holding Shen Ruo's hand and walking forward.

"Thank you sister."

"You are a dangerous little girl, where are your family members?"

"We got separated."

The two looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds.

"Don't worry, we'll help you find it."

"Thank you, big sister."

One person walked slowly behind Shen Ruo, while the other person led Shen Ruo towards the depths.

There were quite a few mercenaries sitting around barbecuing, and the woman walked over holding Shen Ruo's hand.

"Come here, little girl, have some barbecue." A burly mercenary handed a skewer of fresh barbecue to Shen Ruo.

"Uncle, are you just here?" Shen Ruo pretended to blow air towards the barbecue with his mouth.

"Yes, we just landed."

"Uncle is really amazing, what kind of spiritual power does uncle have?"

"I'm ashamed. I only have one golden spiritual power."

"Uncle is so awesome."

Shen Ruo slowly put down the barbecue and threw a ball of fire power directly at the person who had just spoken.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"What are you doing? How can you repay kindness with evil?" The woman immediately came over anxiously, seeming to be very concerned about the uncle's injuries.

"Little girl, did this uncle do anything to make you unhappy?" The man also came over.

Shen Ruo directly used his spiritual power to chop at the two of them. In an instant, the two who were just handsome men and beautiful women turned into a pile of skeletons, with blue ghost fire flashing in their eyes.

“Hehehe…she found out…hehehe…she found out…” A bunch of skeletons laughed strangely.

The originally beautiful picture was completely shattered, the warm scene just now disappeared, a pile of skeletons surrounded Shen Ruo, and even the barbecue that Shen Ruo was holding just now turned into a dead rat, making Shen Ruo's face turn black in an instant.

"Hehehe, hehe, I'll eat your head."

“Hahahaha… No, I want to eat…”

"Hehehe, I suck my fingers...I..."

"It's my turn to eat, hehehe..."

Listening to them talking about wanting to eat his body parts, Shen Ruo's forehead veins bulged, and he immediately used his light spiritual power to illuminate the cave.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

A group of skeletons let out shrill screams, making Shen Ruo feel like his eardrums were about to be shattered. These skeletons were all low-level magical beasts, and they were poisonous. If one ate the food they gave or came into contact with them, one would be poisoned and have hallucinations, and would be dismembered and eaten by them. If one was lucky, one would become one of them, but if one was unlucky, one would go straight into reincarnation.

Shen Ruo looked at her own blackened little hands, and directly absorbed the poison. She was a poison refiner, so why would she be afraid of this?

A pile of skeletons all turned into flying powder. At first, she didn't think there was anything wrong with them. Although it was strange that a group of people appeared in this cave, if it were just one or two people, it would make people alert, but a group of people would make people relax. After all, humans are social animals and have a herd mentality. They believe that it is safer when everyone is together.

It's a pity that they are too clean. They are not fire spirit masters. After coming out of the water, a bunch of people are still so clean. There must be people with low spirit power. How can they be so clean and tidy?

These skeletons are the appearance of the people they have eaten before they died. The name of this monster is "Illusionary Ghost". It is indeed very disgusting. No wonder the surrounding beasts are watching from afar, waiting to have a piece of the pie.

They are all magical beasts that are afraid of light, like rats in a sewer. As long as the light shines on them, they will all be reduced to ashes.

Then they moved forward into the cave. During the journey, many monsters were drooling over Shenruo, but they did not dare to attack her easily. After all, the monster that died before was the best example.

Until they broke into a territory of poisonous scorpions, surrounded by black poisonous scorpions waving their large pincers, led by a black poisonous scorpion half the height of a person. Shen Ruo directly took out Xiao Jin and threw it in. The touch of gold was particularly conspicuous against the black.

Xiao Jin fell into the group of scorpions with a confused look on his face and was directly submerged by them. While the scorpions' attention was drawn, Shen Ruo left Xiao Jin behind and continued to move forward.

A deep pool of water. The quiet pool seems calm on the surface, but it hides a powerful force, like a dormant beast.

Shen Ruo felt that Haoyue's breath was under the water. He called out to Haoyue in the spiritual sea, but got no response. Haoyue also did not show any sign of being injured, so he decisively used his spiritual power and jumped down.

Plop! A loud splash of water.

Slowly feeling the breath of Haoyue, he found a hole under the water. Shenruo swam directly into it. When he surfaced, he found Haoyue lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. Shenruo hurried over and picked her up, but found that his spiritual power was slowly dissipating after entering this place, so he hurriedly retreated to the shore.

After turning Haoyue over and over and checking her, I breathed a sigh of relief and found that she was not injured. After leaving the shore, Haoyue slowly woke up and opened her hazy eyes.

"Owner!"

"Ah."

"Master, there is something on this shore that sucks my spiritual energy. I felt sleepy when I went up there. I wanted to come back to find you, and then I don't know how I fell asleep." Haoyue rubbed Shenruo guiltily and spat out a third-grade beast pill from his mouth.

Shen Ruo touched her head helplessly, she was really willing to sacrifice her life for the treasure.

"Master, I picked it up."

"Ah."

"Master, your baby is up there. It should be the monster cub. She seems to be injured."

Injured? No wonder there are monsters all around, hiding so deep, now that she is here she must go and take a look, whether it is a treasure or not, it is hers.

After placing the Haoyue in the water, Shenruo walked onto the shore. As soon as she got ashore, her spiritual power rapidly dissipated. Shenruo flew over and saw an egg with golden patterns lying among several stones. It was constantly absorbing the spiritual power from the surrounding areas. The closer it was, the faster it absorbed the spiritual power. Shenruo took out the talisman she had prepared and stuck it on the egg. The egg stopped absorbing her spiritual power, but continued to absorb the spiritual power from the surrounding areas.

Huh? What's going on? Shen Ruo frowned. Why doesn't it work?

Haoyue felt that he was no longer absorbing spiritual energy, so he hurried over and stared at the egg curiously.

The egg jumped directly into Shen Ruo's arms. Shen Ruo slapped her away reflexively, and the egg flew back and fell into Shen Ruo's arms. Haoyue also stared at the egg that took her place with dissatisfaction, wanting to slap her away.

What's going on? What kind of egg is this? After throwing it several times, the egg still stuck to Shen Ruo tightly. Even the spiritual power of Shen Ruo's attack was directly absorbed by her. There was no other way. Shen Ruo just held an egg that was taller than her and left the cave.

Shenruo came out and saw the victorious Xiao Jin commanding a group of scorpions. He looked at the dirty Xiao Jin with disdain. Xiao Jin held a black beast pill and handed it to Shenruo proudly. Shenruo used his water spiritual power to perform a cleaning spell, cleaned Xiao Jin, made Xiao Jin bigger, and threw the egg on Xiao Jin's back.

Because of the talisman attached to it, the surrounding monsters could not sense the aura emitted by the egg. Under Xiao Jin's command, a group of scorpions carried Xiao Jin and Shen Ruo out of the cave.

Ever since Xiao Jin ate the flesh and blood of the turtle, he has grown faster and faster. At that time, she thought these things were useless to Xiao Jin. It turned out that Xiao Jin could digest the spiritual power inside. Looking at Xiao Jin who had developed intelligence, Shen Ruo decided to give him a share of good things in the future and would not only feed him poisonous insects.

Little Jin had no idea that because of his seemingly clever move, he had gotten another big meal. In the future, he was no longer an ordinary poisonous insect, but Shen Ruo's partner. Before, Shen Ruo just thought that Xiao Jin was a little smart, but now Xiao Jin was completely too smart and had developed intelligence, which distinguished him from ordinary poisonous insects.

When they were about to leave the cave, Shen Ruo looked at the egg and felt a little worried. It was such a big egg. If she took it out like this, wouldn't it be telling others that she had a great treasure?

The storage ring couldn't hold living things, and for a moment Shen Ruo didn't know what to do.

As if knowing Shen Ruo's worries, the egg turned into a small bird egg when Shen Ruo came out of the cave. The corner of Shen Ruo's mouth twitched. He really did everything he could to follow her.

He picked up the eggs and put them into the sachet where Xiao Jin was placed before. Xiao Jin then lay on Shen Ruo's shoulder. A bunch of scorpions reluctantly sent Xiao Jin away, and Shen Ruo and Xiao Jin flowed out with the water.

As soon as I surfaced, I saw Ayu holding on to Xiaobai who was about to jump into the water. Xiaobai let out a shrill and pitiful howl.

“Awooo~Awooo~Awooo~”

Seeing Shenruo coming out, Xiaobai threw himself into Shenruo's arms with tears in his eyes and almost knocked Shenruo down. He wanted to lick Shenruo with his tongue, but he knew that Shenruo disliked his breath, so he just licked Shenruo's hand.
