Chapter 48: Swallowed by the Serpent’s Belly

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Swallowed by the Serpent's Belly

The Chi Dragon remained motionless on the mountain, with Hao San standing atop it, overlooking the surroundings. Old Wei, the eunuch in black robes, stood by the Chi Dragon's side, clutching his horsetail whisk.

Hao San's cold gaze scanned the surroundings, as if waiting for something. He watched as the three groups of giant serpents swiftly entered the valley, preparing to escape the attention of the powerful beings present.

Princess Qianyou felt increasingly uneasy, her gaze fixed on the giant serpents. While all three groups were moving quickly, the ones on the northern side seemed to be displaying some novelty—two serpents were circling each other as if they were a pair of mandarin ducks.

The red serpent lunged towards Zhong Shan and Tian Ling'er, its speed clearly faster than Bei Qingsi and Tian Sha's descent from above.

Both Bei Qingsi and Tian Sha's expressions were filled with extreme anxiety, urging themselves to fly downwards faster. But compared to the speed of the red serpent's gaping mouth, they were still slightly slow. The mouth was already upon them.

As Zhong Shan lifted Tian Ling'er upwards, he heard a loud noise. Turning his head, he saw the red serpent's gaping maw hurtling towards them. In the next moment, they would undoubtedly be swallowed whole.

Seeing this tense scene, Zhong Shan's mind raced. What to do? What to do?

The more critical the situation, the calmer Zhong Shan became. Staring at the gaping maw, he quickly made a decision.

Suddenly, Zhong Shan reached out his hands, grabbed Tian Ling'er's buttocks tightly, hoisted her upwards, and pushed her fiercely into the sky. Tian Ling'er's speed increased suddenly, doubling as she shot up into the air. Meanwhile, Zhong Shan's own speed decreased rapidly. In fact, under the force of his push, his body was rapidly descending.

Because only in this way could they avoid the serpent's gaping mouth. Just a little bit of time, and Bei Qingsi and Tian Sha would be able to reach them. Just a little bit of time to survive. There was no other choice.

Tian Ling'er ascended rapidly, while Zhong Shan descended urgently. As a result, the red serpent missed its bite. They had bought themselves a moment.

However, the red serpent was not to be trifled with. Its speed was astonishing. Having missed its target the first time, it swiftly turned its head and engulfed Zhong Shan, who was descending below.

Zhong Shan watched incredulously as he was swallowed by the serpent's belly. The serpent's speed exceeded his expectations, and its choice left him with no means of resistance.

The speed was too fast. The people above hadn't even had time to come down yet, and yet the serpent chose him, separating him from Tian Ling'er. With a sense of regret and frustration, Zhong Shan felt darkness envelop him as he was swallowed by the serpent.

After jumping off the boulder, Tian Ling'er did not sense the red serpent behind her. She only knew that danger was imminent and that she must quickly leap onto her senior brother's or third senior sister's flying sword.

At that moment, Tian Ling'er suddenly felt a pair of large hands on her buttocks. Zhong Shan? Tian Ling'er widened her eyes in disbelief. Why was Zhong Shan here at this moment?

Just as Tian Ling'er was extremely surprised, those hands suddenly tightened with tremendous force, as if they were about to tear her tender buttocks apart. The intense pain quickly stimulated Tian Ling'er's nerves, and tears welled up in her eyes.

What was Zhong Shan doing? Tian Ling'er couldn't tell if it was grievance or pain that made her tears flow.

But the next moment, she felt Zhong Shan push her.

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Tian Ling'er shot upwards at an accelerated speed.

"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

A brutal hiss came from behind her. At this moment, Tian Ling'er finally realized what was happening. Zhong Shan, he was saving her by pushing her out of the serpent's mouth.

As her speed increased sharply, she drew closer to Bei Qingsi. Bei Qingsi reached out her hand and was about to grab Tian Ling'er's arm.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er quickly turned her head to look down and saw the red serpent's mouth swallowing Zhong Shan, who was falling helplessly.

Seeing Hao San trying to escape, the powerful beings swiftly chased after him.

"Qianyou, let's chase after him quickly," Gu Lin immediately shouted.

"Shut up," Princess Qianyou said impatiently. Then, ignoring Gulin, she turned to look at the old Wei, who had been shot back by the divine arrow, together with Mr. Shuijing.

"Puff~~~~~~~~~~"

The dust in Old Wei's hand scattered and shattered. Under the tremendous force, he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards with a bitter smile.

From the west, where the arrows were shot earlier, suddenly flew out more than a dozen people, rushing towards Old Wei.

"Capture that old man," Princess Qianyou ordered.

After Princess Qianyou finished speaking, a group of people behind her quickly rushed towards the eunuch Old Wei. Not only that, but another force from the south also rushed towards Old Wei.

Flying in the air, Old Wei felt the three forces coming towards him. A strong sense of tragic solemnity appeared on his face. He turned his hand and took out a large black ball.

"Hahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With the crazy laughter of the eunuch Old Wei, the black ball in his hand suddenly shot out a large amount of lightning.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~"

The black ball exploded, causing Old Wei's body to explode into fragments in the air, and blood rained down.

The huge shock caused by the explosion made the people rushing towards him quickly retreat and avoid.

Seeing the man take out the black ball, Princess Qianyou suddenly exclaimed, "Not good."

The eunuch was dead, and Princess Qianyou showed a trace of regret on her face. She stomped her slender, beautiful legs on the ground with anger.

"Let's go," Princess Qianyou said angrily.

Then, the crowd followed Princess Qianyou quickly towards the direction of Qiu Long, chasing after them.

The other forces also did the same, chasing after them quickly.

Bei Qingsi pulled Tian Ling'er up the mountain, and then this series of dramatic changes occurred. Tian Sha watched Hao San escaping and reflexively said, "Chase."

The others from Kaiyang Sect immediately followed Tian Sha and flew towards the direction of Qiu Long. In the air, Tian Sha looked back at Bei Qingsi when she didn't come, then turned to look at Bei Qingsi.

But Bei Qingsi was pulling Tian Ling'er and heading towards Qiu Long. She glanced at him slightly, then looked at Tian Ling'er, who was going crazy, and frowned.

"You guys go," Bei Qingsi said softly.

Seeing Bei Qingsi refusing to leave, Tian Sha frowned, then immediately said, "Yun Qian, you stay and accompany Qingsi. Meet at Cuiyun Mountain in five days."
