The icy cold branches and soil came down on Yun Qingyan's face along with some tiny rocks. She felt like a barrel that was just rolling downwards continuously and simply couldn't stop.
"Boom!"
Another flash of lightning tore through the sky.
"Crash!"
The silver flash cut through the layer of clouds with mysteriousness and aggression. The ground was instantly covered in a silvery-white layer from its brightness.
Once the crash of thunder was heard, a heavy rain came pouring down.
But Yun Qingyan's body became hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, and it was about to give off steam soon.
Xiaoxuan's voice seemed to be blocked and its voice became softer and softer.
"Screech!"
Yun Qingyan seemed to have bumped into an obstacle and her rolling body suddenly slowed down, then continued rolling again with the same energy from earlier.
The Nine Hells Green Snake that had continued to chase after her stuck its tongue out. Its originally irrational bloodshot snake eyes suddenly looked like it was fearful. It quietly stuck its tongue out again and its non-sentient brain was instantly thrown into confusion as it thrashed its thick snake tail about anxiously.
It wanted to continue chasing after that really fragrant piece of meat in front of it, but its animal instinct told it very clearly that there was an enormous threat ahead. It was very dangerous indeed.
This wasn't something that came with being sentient. It was just a living organism's natural innate ability to behave more reverently towards something that was much more powerful than itself.
"Boom!"
Another flash of lightning cut through the sky and thunder roared.
"Ssssss!"
The Nine Hells Green Anaconda shuddered in fright. The violent and cruel beast now looked more like a terrified little snake. It swung its tail and slithered off so quickly it was nearly flying.
The icy cold raindrops fell on Yun Qingyan's body. The terrible heat that was threatening to set her body on fire was slowly dissipating and her consciousness that was fading because of the terrible heat was beginning to come back too.
She stuck a hand into the soft mud to stop herself from continuing to slide further.
Suddenly, Yun Qingyan's hair all stood on end. An indescribable fear suddenly overtook her heart. She felt as though the grim reaper had held his hands around her neck, making her face turn red and making it impossible for her to breathe.
The instinct for danger that she had trained up over so many years made her feel goosebumps all over her skin. The feeling of terror pressed down so hard on her, it was going to crush every inch of her.
There was danger.
Even when she was about to end up in the Nine Hells Green Anaconda's mouth, even when she had faced so many dangerous situations in her previous life, she had never felt this afraid before.
"Swoosh!"
Without hesitation, Yun Qingyan somersaulted to the side.
"Bam!"
A deep hole in the ground appeared where she was originally lying just seconds ago. The smashed rocks flew in all directions and the flying rocks made many bloodied scratches on Yun Qingyan's body.
After narrowly escaping death, Yun Qingyan patted her chest in fear. Just a split second ago, she very nearly lost her life.
"Master, the opportunity to unlock the Forbidden Zone is on that man! Strip him!" Xiaoxuan's voice was so excited that it was trembling. Its voice suddenly resonated loudly and it made Yun Qingyan's brain hurt.
Wait…man?
She blinked her clear eyes and looked straight ahead of her.
Even though Yun Qingyan was normally calm and aloof, she was taken aback at that moment too.
Beautiful? Handsome? Charismatic? Cool?
No, none of those words were correct.For a moment, Yun Qingyan couldn't even find the right word to describe the man in front of her who was as beautiful as a deity.His facial features were intricately chiseled like a sculpture. His brows were beautifully defined and his nose was as high and sharp as the slope of a mountain.His lips were pale but sparkled brilliantly with an iciness. They were so fatally attractive, they tempted prey to kiss them and give them warmth.His eyes were slightly closed and as the raindrops fell on his long eyelashes, they seemed unable to hold the weight of the water. The raindrops followed his lashes and flowed down his well-defined jaw, and made her throat suddenly tighten.He was sharp but shone brightly, incredibly handsome yet gloriously beautiful.
