Apparently, it wanted to attack her by surprise. If Gu Xijiu were not alert, she would be torn into two had she been struck by its tongue at her waist. Her cadaver would have been its food.
As the monster failed, it shrieked painfully. Then, it spiraled to the ground from the tree.
The atmosphere was now filled with a bloody smell, and Gu Xijiu knew that other ferocious beasts would rush here at any moment! Therefore, she was no longer safe!
Fortunately, she had already identified her next destination, and she immediately teleported. Less than 30 seconds after she left, the surroundings were full of odd sounds, and more than 10 ferocious beasts were coming out of the bushes from all direction. It was a feast.
