Mu Xiaoling stood at the same place until Xue Qing turned a corner before she caught up. Although Xue Qing looked gentle and harmless, she felt that she was in extreme danger. At the very least, she was in greater danger than the other rooms combined.

She followed far behind and watched as the two people in front of her reached the ground. Then, they knocked on a mountain wall in a rhythmic manner. Then, the mountain wall split open, revealing another downward passageway.

Xue Qing glanced behind her and smiled. "There's no need to close it. We'll have to open it again later. Troublesome. Oh, right. After entering, we'll remove all the traps on the way. Just open it."

The black-clothed man was stunned. Every time he did this, he would never see this Vice Pavilion Master say anything troublesome. However, since the other party had spoken, he could just be more obedient. In any case, there was no one here.

Mu Xiaoling was startled when she saw that the two hadn't closed the door yet. However, she was given a chance. Regardless of whether it was a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's cave, they had to try and break through.

She waited for a little while longer before carefully walking into the cave. It was an inclined path downwards, and the angle was the same as the cave over there, but the walls on both sides were occupied by all kinds of gears and weapons. The sharp edges of the weapons were clearly poisonous, but they were pitch-black.

Mu Xiaoling was startled. If the mechanisms hadn't been broken just now, she definitely wouldn't have entered the cave so easily.

She walked all the way down, but she did not see Xue Qing. On the first floor was a huge stone room filled with all sorts of gears and unknown formations, but these things had all stopped functioning.

It was the same on the second floor. It wasn't until she was close to the third that she heard the sound of banging and banging from inside. She stuck her head out a little and looked inside.

He saw Xue Qing fiddling with a mechanism on the wall, the black clothed man holding an oil lamp to illuminate her as he said: "Vice Pavilion Master, this mechanism is broken in some places, it actually broke on the main lock. It couldn't have been deliberately broken by someone, could it?"

"That's a possibility." Xue Qing smiled, "However, the other party first needs to understand these mechanical skills, and then they have to enter the forest without being discovered by me. Do you think it is possible for such a person to exist?"

When the subordinate saw Xue Qing's smile, he couldn't help but shiver. "How is this possible, haha."

"It's not entirely impossible." Xue Qing looked at him and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, "If you are a traitor, then everything makes sense. In the entire West Hall, you are the only one other than me who knows how to count mechanical devices."

The weapon in his hand was pointed straight at Xue Qing's heart, but he could only maintain this posture. Lowering his head slightly, he saw that Xue Qing's hand had already penetrated into his chest, crushing his heart.

Xue Qing retracted her hand. Strangely, his hand was not stained with even the slightest amount of blood. It was still as white as before.

The man fell to the ground, dead.

Xue Qing continued to fiddle around with the trap, "Have you seen enough of my daughter-in-law after watching for so long?"

Mu Xiaoling knew that she had been discovered, but she didn't see Xue Qing's move. The probability of her escape was zero. Since that was the case, it would be better for her to show herself and see what this person actually wanted to do.

She came out of the corner and into the stone room. "What do you want to do?"

Xue Qing smiled slightly, but it was no longer that scholarly smile. Instead, there was a trace of seduction in it. "It's not very airy here. Are you wearing a mask?"

Mu Xiaoling took off her towel.

Xue Qing clicked her tongue, "Even if you take one layer, you will still be able to carry so much."

Mu Xiaoling laughed coldly. "The two of us aren't related to each other in any way. Aren't you a little too nosy?"

"How can it be unrelated? If I don't like you, I won't let myself feel wronged by taking you as my master." Xue Qing raised her fingertips and slightly lifted Mu Xiaoling's chin. She personally removed the disguise on her face, one after another.

Mu Xiaoling wasn't able to clearly see Xue Qing's movements because this man was too dangerous.

"Not bad, you look good." Not bad, you look good. Xue Qing carefully examined Mu Xiaoling's face before finally nodding her head. Before the other party went completely mad, she let go of her hand and retreated a few steps back. Her body changed and her clothes became as bright red as fire.

"Heaven Swallowing Python!" The Taotie was originally lazily lying in the grass, playing with the little mouse with its tail. However, when Xue Qing transformed, it suddenly became quick-witted and stood up. It disdainfully said: "So this thing was also sealed in the lower realms. Who in the world would have the heart to do this kind of thing?"

The Crimson Gold Mouse looked at them in a daze, as if he didn't understand what the 'Heaven Swallowing Python' meant.

"The Heaven Swallowing Python is also an ancient beast, it was once as famous as the four great beasts. However, the Heaven Swallowing Python has always been passed down in one vein, and only one Heaven Swallowing Python will appear each time, only after this python dies will the next Heaven Swallowing Python appear. It can be said that the Heaven Swallowing Python is the same as the four great beasts, there is only one of them in this world."

The four great vicious beasts were Taotie, Qiong Qi, Primal Chaos and Taowu respectively. In this world, only the four great vicious beasts were comparable to the four great vicious beasts in name, and they were considered to be the four great ancient fierce beasts. She did not expect that there would actually be an 'Heaven Swallowing Python'.

Xue Qing slightly raised her chin, as if giving charity. "I want you to contract with me."

Mu Xiaoling shot an indifferent glance at him. "I refuse." The one she had contracted with was a companion who was bound by life and death, not a type of charity that could be abandoned at any time.

This time, it was Xue Qing's turn to be surprised. She thought that once his identity was revealed, the person in front of her would agree without hesitation. After they left the forest, he would destroy the contract.

That's right, the reason why this forest is so strange is because this is his sealed land, there is only one way to leave, and that is to let a person with beast driving talent contract with him, using the power of contract to resist the power of the seal, and once he obtains his freedom, then the rest will be up to him.

He was sealed here for no more than two hundred years, and it was also said that an upper realm beast driving talent wanted to contract with him but was rejected. The other party harbored hatred within his heart and laid a trap for him, causing him to accidentally be trapped here.

That was why he dared to come up with such a method. Unfortunately, the number of people with talent for driving beasts from the lower realms was simply too few, and only one would be able to enter this forest in the past two hundred years. How could he possibly let this opportunity go?
