The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 41: Fierce Battle in the Swamp
The giant, azure-blue crane swooped down from above, its sharp beak striking the earth-type snake lizard's left eye with pinpoint accuracy.

Blood splattered, and the giant crane, without lingering in the fight, calmly escaped after this attack.

After Ling Chengen was attacked by the snake lizard's left eye, he was briefly unable to pinpoint her location due to the pain. In the instant that he could not accurately locate her, he gripped the bone blade in his left hand and swept past like a gust of wind, severing the snake lizard's forked tongue, which had swiftly retracted after missing its target, with a single stroke.

As the red forked snake landed on the mud, the lizard's roar became exceptionally loud, so loud that it made Ling Chengen's eardrums ache.

But it was precisely because of this that Ling Chengen was certain that the tongue was also a weakness of the Xuanlin Snake Lizard.

Without that annoying tongue, the Earth-type Blackscale Serpent Lizard's attack power would be reduced by at least half.

At this moment, she decided not to run away.

We need to capture this earth-type snake lizard.

The earth-elemental heart stone, approaching level eight, contains considerable energy that can further enhance her mental strength.

Ling Chengen gripped the blade in his backhand, grabbed Qinghe's leg, lightly touched the blood-red mud with his toes, and leaped into the air behind the Xuanlin Snake Lizard, flipping over and jumping onto Bai Qingyu's back.

"Well done." Ling Chengen was in a good mood. Looking at the lingering fog around them, he asked, "Did you dispel the fog near this mud pit?"

Bai Qingyu flicked the blood droplets off his long beak and replied, "Well, I wasn't sure at first whether I could control the mist."

But after hovering in the mist for a long time, he noticed that the mist was accumulating on his beak and slowly forming water droplets, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.

The persistent white fog in the Misty Swamp is actually water vapor.

And since he possesses water-based superpowers, he is perfectly capable of manipulating this mist.

I had never tried doing this before, so it took me some time to experiment and adjust at first.

However, the fog gathers and disperses quickly, and his ability is not enough to cover an area within a hundred meters. For now, he can only disperse the fog in the mud pit, but he can't hold out for long.

"I can only control these mists for half a beast's time at most, because I need to save enough energy to get you away, so hurry up."

Ling Chengen responded in a low voice, confidently saying, "Half a beast's time is enough."

"You take the lead, and I'll support you."

After the fierce battle just now, Bai Qingyu has come to realize a fact.

Ling Chengen is unlikely to cooperate with him on his own initiative, so he has no choice but to support this domineering female.

"Then I'll go downstairs. You can handle the situation as it arises."

Without saying a word, Ling Chengen jumped off his back again.

Before Bai Qingyu could finish speaking, watching her figure gradually shrink, he became so angry that he lost his composure and gritted his teeth, saying, "I might as well kill you! You never wait for me to finish speaking."

He might complain like that, but his actions were anything but ambiguous.

After discovering that the Earth-type Xuanlin Snake Lizard could control the softness or hardness of the mud, he had a new idea and tried to use his supernatural ability to pump out all the water from the mud.

After the water in the soil disappeared, the ground instantly became dry and hard. It would take some time for the water from all around to seep in. The hard ground actually provided Ling Chengen with more footholds.

The advantage lies with them this time.

The one-eyed black-scaled lizard immediately considered fleeing the moment it noticed the ground cracking.

Although it was furious that the two ignorant little insects had joined forces to kill its little brother and seriously injured it like this.

However, it wasn't entirely mindless. Since its opponent could stand on the hardened ground, its attack power had clearly increased to another level. Even if it controlled the ground to collapse or fluctuate, it couldn't stop this bipedal beast with its superb balance.

Ling Chengen twirled the short gun in his right hand behind him, maintaining a forward-leaning sprinting posture as he stepped on the swaying ground.

With her left fingertips slightly touching the ground and her feet behind her, she moved freely in the dried-up mud, like a gecko that could crawl on any surface, battling a nearly eight-meter-long black-scaled lizard.

Bai Qingyu tried to assist her in battle, but found that his involvement only made her feel restricted. In the end, he could only helplessly fly in mid-air and quietly observe her individual battle.

Looking down at the entire pool, watching the blood slowly dripping from her face, her long hair casually tied behind her head, blowing in the air currents of the fight, her thin and sharp facial features, and her seemingly slender yet powerfully explosive limbs, he suddenly felt a very unfamiliar emotion.

This was probably the first time I'd seen her display such a powerful side.

Bai Qingyu's gaze remained fixed on her, his wings slowly unfurling, and in his cool, bright eyes lay a praise and appreciation that even he himself was unaware of.

If only she were a female crane.

He would definitely use every means to pursue her without her having to fawn over him.

The thought popped into Bai Qingyu's mind, a fleeting regret crossed her heart, and she quickly dismissed the absurd idea.

As the Blackscale Serpent Lizard let out its final angry and painful roar, its massive body crashed heavily onto the dry ground, causing the surrounding withered forest to tremble for a few seconds.

Bai Qingyu landed slowly, watching as she flipped the earth-type Xuanlin snake lizard lying on the ground with one hand, and with her left hand holding the bone blade, cleanly and neatly disemboweled it, taking out its gall and heart.

Blood slowly slid down her fair face, pooling at her chin, and dripping onto her arms and knees.

But her lips were slightly upturned, and her breathing was a little erratic. However, it was clear that she was in a good mood and showed no signs of fatigue or exhaustion after a fierce battle.

Bai Qingyu squatted down beside her, condensing water from his fingertips to wash the gall and heart stone in her hands. He watched as she took out the remaining lizard galls, then looked up at him with a righteous air, waiting for him to help clean them.

Bai Qingyu said with a dark face, "We don't have many superpowers left."

Ling Chengen stared at him without saying a word, then stretched out his palm in front of him.

Bai Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, "I owe you something?"

Ling Chengen smiled and raised an eyebrow, his face covered in blood, but his eyes were clear and bright: "Don't talk about owing each other anything, that's too formal. We're just business partners, helping each other out, don't be so petty."

Bai Qingyu: "..."

Bai Qingyu chose to roll out a water ball to wash the pile of snake lizard gallbladders in her palms, and also put a layer of water film on her skin to wash away all the blood on her body.

Ling Chengen rubbed his arm with satisfaction, slung the short gun behind his back, and said with a smile, "Your ability is really quite useful. It seems I really need to find a water-type orc to keep by my side in the future."

Bai Qingyu chuckled and said, "There are only a few level nine water-type ability beastmen like me on the Beast Plains. It would be difficult to find someone who can replace me."

Ling Chengen waved his hand, looking at the corpses of several snake lizards on the ground, and said with some regret, "Level 9 water-type ability beastmen are hard to find, but a lower ability level is not a big problem, anyway I can help improve it."

Bai Qingyu's expression turned serious: "You must be careful about enhancing your superpowers. As for the Heart Stone you mentioned... study it further when you get back, don't absorb it rashly. Problems in superpower cultivation are not something that ordinary witch doctors can solve."

Ling Chengen tilted her head and looked him over for a while. Bai Qingyu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and frowned slightly, saying, "Why are you staring at me?"

Ling Chengen didn't say anything, but suddenly stretched out his left hand.

Bai Qingyu instinctively leaned back, looking down at Ling Chengen's slender fingertips resting beside her right cheek. Her body tensed slightly, and she frowned, saying, "I told you, I won't let you kiss me."

"You should be mindful of your words."

Ling Chengen looked at him and suddenly smiled brightly. He gently brushed his thumb across the corner of his mouth, rubbing it twice, then held his fingertip out in front of him, laughing heartily. "You're really something. I saw blood on your lips and just wanted to help you wipe it off..."

Actually, she just wanted to tease him.

Bai Qingyu was young, but he was pedantic and rigid, a real oddity compared to the unrestrained orcs of the wasteland.

But it's still quite amusing to tease him occasionally and see his nervous reaction.

However, Bai Qingyu, the person involved, was stiff at this moment, her face was a little embarrassed, and she rubbed the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and found that there was indeed blood.

His ears and neck turned red instantly. He turned to leave, but Ling Chengen suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him backward.

His waist was hooked by Ling Chengen. When he looked up, he saw that her eyes seemed to be shrouded in gloom. The bone blade in her right hand had already left her hand and collided with the head of a giant snake that suddenly rushed out of the white mist.

The bone blade immediately broke and fell into the mud.

The ground began to sink, and Ling Chengen made a quick decision, saying, "Quickly transform into human form, I'll distract it, and you'll cover me."

The next second, Ling Chengen released his grip and transformed into a giant tiger, slamming the enormous snake head into the mud with a single blow.

She moved with incredible speed, stepping onto the giant snake lying across the mud. The sharp blade protruding from her fingertips pierced through the snake's dark green back scales without hesitation, piercing its vital spot with a single claw.

Bai Qingyu, seeing the snake's head turn back to bite the giant tiger, immediately warned, "It's poisonous, be careful."

Ling Chengen didn't turn around. Just as the snake's mouth was about to bite her hind leg, he leaped into the air and jumped onto Bai Qingyu's back. His powerful mental energy went straight into the giant snake's spine, crushing the spine below the skull.

She transformed into human form on Bai Qingyu's back, drew the short gun from behind her, and threw it out with a backhand.

The metal spearhead, like an indestructible bullet, struck the snake's head between its eyes, pinning the giant snake's raised head heavily to the ground.

Ling Chengen jumped off Bai Qingyu's back, drew his short gun, glanced at the already annihilated Bone Blade, and said to him as he took flight again, "Hurry up, there are more things coming from around us, directly to the right and behind us, quite a few of them."

Bai Qingyu: "Grab the back feathers and get to a high altitude first."

Ling Chengen lowered his body and grabbed the thick, dense feathers on the back of the crane. The two of them, like an arrow piercing the sky, broke through the billowing white mist and escaped from the mouths of the giant snakes that were closing in from all sides.

Only after flying out of the swirling misty swamp did Bai Qingyu breathe a sigh of relief: "That was too dangerous. A snake's head could pop out from any direction in the white mist at any time. Even the Snake Mountain Tribe, which is full of giant snake beastmen, is not this terrifying."

"That's the Frost Shadow Golden Python."

"A giant python unique to the Misty Swamp, it must have just woken up from hibernation and is in a state of extreme hunger. Moreover, the swampy area near the edge of the dead forest is their breeding ground every year."

"The Frost Shadow Golden Python is bloodthirsty and extremely sensitive to the scent of blood; it usually appears in groups."

"Even the powerful Xuanlin snake lizard is on their menu."

"The scales of the Frost Shadow Golden Python can change color. In the white mist, they turn silvery-white. Only during the breeding season, in order to attract mating with other pythons, will the scales change to other colors."

So the first Frost Shadow Python she killed had green scales on its head and back.

The "gold" in Frost Shadow Golden Python comes from the fact that this species of python has a dark gold line extending from between its eyes to about seven inches in diameter.

The Frost Shadow Golden Pythons that attacked them were probably in their breeding season and were attracted by the bloody smell of the snakes and lizards they killed.

Upon their discovery, they became extremely ferocious and manic due to hunger and the effects of their breeding season.

These were the messages that the system had just compiled. Ling Chengen glanced at them and then gave Bai Qingyu, who was beneath him, a brief explanation.

After the science lesson, she looked at the blood-stained pistol in her hand and said with some regret, "The tip of the pistol is cracked. This was a gift from my father for my sixteenth birthday."

"The scales of this Frost Shadow Golden Python are incredibly hard."

However... it would be quite suitable for making armor?
Ling Chengen's eyes lit up instantly when he thought of this.

If we can build a team in the future, we might consider sourcing supplies from the Misty Swamp.

These Frost Shadow Pythons are extremely numerous and have a particularly strong reproductive capacity. They have very few natural enemies in the Misty Swamp; their greatest enemy is actually their own kind.

This is because such pythons will hunt their own kind when they are extremely hungry.

What a waste of all that flesh and blood.

Offering it to her subordinates as armor is a decent way to die.

She looked down and touched the tip of the gun on her leg, then sighed softly.

Once I get back, I'll have to figure out how to repair this short gun.

This weapon belonged to the original owner, but she found it exceptionally convenient to use.

And that broken bone blade.

She didn't pick it up.

Because once the bone blade breaks, even if you manage to reconnect it, it can no longer withstand the powerful impact as before.

Bai Qingyu sensed her gloom and didn't know how to comfort her, so he quietly took her south and flew back overnight.

This time, he doesn't intend to stop until he's completely exhausted.

Because the nights during the breeding season were too unbearable, rather than carefully hiding his suffering from Ling Chengen, he decided to use all his energy on traveling. He was so exhausted that he refused to believe that this damned breeding season could continue to torment him.

As night fell, Ling Chengen finally realized his intention. She tied up her loose long hair with a white bone hairpin, lay lazily on his broad back, and said with a smile, "Traveling all night, huh? It seems the breeding season took its toll on you quite a bit last night."

"Shut up."

Bai Qingyu was enraged.

Open-mouth breeding period, closed-mouth breeding period.

Doesn't he want to lose face?
What's more, he had worked so hard to carry her on his back, and instead of being grateful, she lay there making sarcastic remarks...

Just as Ling Chengen was leisurely lying on his back, enjoying the rare sight of the stars.

A dark shadow rushed in from the side like lightning, like a small cannonball, knocking the struggling Qinghe down from the sky.

Ling Chengen fell straight down from a height of a thousand meters, cursing under his breath. He reached out to grab Bai Qingyu's hand, but failed, and plummeted straight down the mountain below.

day!
If she were to fall to her death on this hill today, she would haunt the bastard who caused this plane crash even as a ghost!
There are countless roads, but safety is the most important.

An irregular blank line brings tears to the eyes of loved ones.

Enen: I'll take down this lousy world sooner or later!

Hehe: My kidney... is dead.
