Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Xuanming Ice Snake Drives Away the Monster Beast

"Is this also an ancient mythical beast?"

Li Yanran wasn’t familiar with mythical beasts. Under her Spiritual Sense, when she saw the black shadow pass through the narrow passageway and that the demon Qi was far greater than her own realm, she couldn’t think of anything else and immediately activated a talisman, throwing it towards the narrow passageway!

The narrow passageway was straight; the approaching beast had no chance of escape!

"Sssss—"

The beast let out a hissing sound, followed by the sound of footsteps from behind.

It was Yu Qingqing and Mo Buwen!

"Why have you come? Go back and see if Senior Lu Chen has awakened. It seems there might be an ancient mythical beast!"

Li Yanran was extremely anxious. These two were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Just a single wave of demonic power from the beast inside the narrow passageway would mean certain death if they came into contact with it.

"Sister Li, if Brother Lu Dao is awake, he doesn’t need us to watch over him. If he’s not, our presence would be in vain!"

As cultivators, they naturally knew that one must not be disturbed during cultivation, as it could easily lead to devastating consequences.

Li Yanran furrowed her brows; Qing Qing’s words made sense, and Bu Wen also said, "Fairy Li, we won’t interfere, but we might be able to buy some time!"

"Bu Wen, you stay here. Qing Qing, you go check on the Xuanming Ice Snake. If that beast could get in, we need to gather all our strength to deal with it!"

Li Yanran had calmed down a bit after seeing the shadow being hit by the talisman through her Spiritual Sense, and said to Bu Wen.

The Xuanming Ice Snake could shrink in size, perhaps able to ambush at the entrance and sneak attack the beast trying to enter!

"Okay!"

Bu Wen immediately agreed and turned to run deeper inside, while Li Yanran then instructed Qing Qing, "How well have you learned the Li Fire Curse?"

"Not too good."

Both she and Bu Wen were already much stronger than others in their cultivation realm thanks to the pills provided by Lu Chen.

However, the beast was terrifyingly strong, profoundly intense such that they naturally felt it was not enough.

"No matter, just do your best when the time comes!"

Li Yanran knew not to expect Qing Qing to be able to kill the beast. With her realm, every moment she could delay was precious.

As long as Lu Chen awoke, everything would be alright.

After a short while, the Xuanming Ice Snake arrived.

It flicked its tongue, staring down into the valley.

"Sssss—"

Shortly thereafter, the Xuanming Ice Snake also let out a hissing sound and, without waiting for Li Yanran to say anything, it too burrowed into the narrow passageway!

"Little White!"

Li Yanran cried out in alarm; the Xuanming Ice Snake was already entangled in battle with the beast.

Sss!

Sss!

Continuous hissing sounds echoed within the narrow passageway, but they were growing more distant.

Li Yanran didn’t have any spells to help. The space inside the narrow passageway was too cramped, and she feared accidentally harming the Xuanming Ice Snake with her talismans!

Fortunately, it seemed that the Xuanming Ice Snake was holding its own, and before long it had driven the beast out of the narrow passageway!

"Little White, come back!"

Li Yanran thought that the Xuanming Ice Snake was surely trying to drive the adversary away from the valley before returning, and then they would just need to guard this section of the narrow passageway.

Unexpectedly, the Xuanming Ice Snake didn’t stop, but continued to wrangle with the opponent, tumbling towards the deep abyss!

Within the time it took for half a pot of tea to brew, the Xuanming Ice Snake and the shadowy beast had rolled beyond the range of her Spiritual Sense!

"Sister Li, what’s happening now?"

Qing Qing, no longer hearing any hissing sounds and not hearing any reaction from Li Yanran, asked anxiously.

"Little White has taken the shadow away!"

Li Yanran snapped back to reality and responded.

"Taken it away? What do we do now?"

Bu Wen also asked in shock. Originally, guarding this place was the best plan, and the strength of the Xuanming Ice Snake was said to be the strongest among them.

Before leaving, Lu Chen had left the Xuanming Ice Snake here for this reason.

But now, with Lu Chen in cultivation and the Xuanming Ice Snake gone, leaving just the few of them behind, what would happen if another ancient mythical beast attacked?

Li Yanran looked at the two with terrified faces, equally unsure of what to do, and could only stand guard at the exit of the narrow passageway while the abyss occasionally transmitted sounds from within.

How much time had passed, she didn’t know.

Suddenly, a noise came from the wooden cabin.

"Don’t you all need to cultivate?"

It was Lu Chen!

As his words just faded, they heard a whooshing sound, and Lu Chen had already appeared before them!

"Senior Lu, just now a beast tried to enter the valley. Little White grappled with it, then vanished without a trace. We didn’t dare to chase after it!"

Li Yanran cut to the chase, and Lu Chen’s expression immediately turned grave.

But after thinking carefully...

The only creatures that could enter the cave were snake-like beasts similar to Little White.

He had seen countless ancient mythical beasts, but he had never seen this kind.

Could it be...
