Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

With a roar that shook the entire Demon Beast Forest, the enormous body of the Black Tiger shot out like an arrow.

Bai Xiaobai's two translucent little arms were tightly gripping the long tiger fur.

Feeling the whistling wind in her ears and the towering trees rushing past her like they were flying, she was incredibly excited.

"Little darlings, run! Your people are coming to collect them."

However, her soft, cute voice really doesn't have much of an impact.

The black tiger, sensing the danger, let out another huge roar, which startled the monsters in the forest, causing them to flee in panic.

In no time at all, the snake and the tiger arrived in front of a cave.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Bai Xiaobai subconsciously thought of the Thousand Treasures Cave.

Thinking about how she was almost killed by Gu Lingxi's scheme in the Thousand Treasures Cave, she subconsciously felt a resistance to this cave that reeked of a fishy stench.

So letting her in is impossible.

"Brother Tiger, are you sure the Xuan Tian Python is inside this cave?"

Xuanhu raised its head and sniffed, then released its divine sense to explore the cave.

In a short while, it pinpointed the location of the Xuan Tian Python.

"Yes, it just ate the Great Demon Bear and is currently absorbing and digesting it inside. There are also quite a few demon cores in this Xuan Tian Python's cave, which it must have obtained from killing other demonic beasts. Let's go in now and wipe out its entire horde."

Although Xuanhu's words made a lot of sense, Bai Xiaobai had no desire to go in.

She now subconsciously resists places like caves.

"Why don't you go in by yourself? I'll wait for you outside. Anyway, I can't help much if I go in, and it would only distract you from protecting me."

After listening to Bai Xiaobai's explanation, Xuanhu thought about it and agreed.

He had reached the fourth level, which was equivalent to a cultivator's Nascent Soul Realm.

The Xuan Tian Python inside this cave is roughly at the second tier, which is equivalent to a cultivator's Foundation Establishment level.

It wouldn't take them long to deal with a Xuan Tian Python that's only at the second rank.

"Alright, I'll go in and deal with that Xuan Tian Python. You wait outside. I'll crush it like a piece of cake."

"Okay, remember to bring out all the demon cores inside."

"Don't worry, you won't be left out."

Bai Xiaobai slid off the white tiger's back and nestled comfortably on a branch of a large tree outside the cave.

Watching the large, red-striped tiger storm into the cave, she imagined the scene of the black tiger bringing out a whole bunch of colorful demon cores for her.

The feeling of getting something for nothing is something the snake could only dream of.

However, she waited and waited, until it got dark, but Xuanhu still didn't come out.

She couldn't help but feel anxious and upset.

Why does it take a fourth-tier Xuanhu so long to deal with a second-tier Xuantian Python?

Moreover, apart from a loud tiger roar after it went in, there was no further sound of fighting, let alone any other noise.

Could something have happened inside?

The great tiger Xuanhu was no match for the Xuantian Python and was killed instead?

Bai Xiaobai started to have wild thoughts.

She activated her special ability to communicate with spirit beasts and attempted to contact the Xuanhu inside.

However, there was no response.

As darkness fell, the roars of beasts around her grew ever closer.

She was terrified and trembled all over.

While cautiously observing his surroundings, he was torn between whether or not he should go in and see what had happened.

However, as the surrounding area gradually lit up with lantern-like green eyes, Bai Xiaobai slid down the branch in a flash and began to frantically slide into the cave.

Well, all she can do now is pray that Xuanhu has eaten and drunk his fill inside and fallen asleep.

Although the excuse was lame, it was the only unrealistic hope she could give herself.

She explored inside while cursing under her breath.

What kind of fate is this? She finally found a black tiger that could protect her, but before she could even ask it to do anything, it just disappeared without a trace.

So, did he overestimate its strength, or did Shen Ji, the master who was known for tricking his disciples, underestimate the strength of the monsters in the Monster Forest?

Weren't they supposed to be first or second-tier demonic beasts? How come it took Xuanhu, a fourth-tier spirit beast, so long to fight a second-tier Xuantian Python?

She couldn't understand it at all right now.

If I had known, I wouldn't have been so cocky back then. Why did I bother looking for the bear paw or stealing the demon core?

Why didn't he just let Xuanhu lead him to find some other demonic beasts? He had to do something so stupid.

Well, now I have to risk going in to find the tiger myself.

The path of cultivating immortality is truly arduous.

However, it was at this time that she discovered some differences in her body, such as her vision.

Even though the cave was dark and filled with the stench of blood and other foul smells, she was surprised to find that she could see everything within a ten-foot radius inside.

This tremendous change in his body thrilled Bai Xiaobai.

They even ignored the unknown dangers that might be encountered ahead, which led them to speed up their advance.

She could see clearly the bats hanging upside down in the cave, even some unknown insects crawling on the ground, and the little spiders diligently weaving their webs.

Everything within a ten-zhang radius was clearly displayed before her eyes.

She was amazed by the tremendous changes in her body and began to follow the scent as she hurried deeper into the cave.

As the smell of blood grew stronger, she gradually slowed down.

However, at this moment she was not too worried about Xuanhu's safety, because she had already reached the depths of the cave and clearly saw the broken limbs resembling a python scattered on the ground not far from her.

Although the scene was somewhat bloody, Bai Xiaobai could accept it completely.

After all, she had seen far more cruel things in the spirit world.

She cautiously continued to approach, but apart from the broken limbs of the Xuan Tian Python scattered on the ground, she saw no trace of the Xuan Hu.

Just as she was wondering where Xuanhu had gone, she noticed something glittering not far from the corpse of the Xuantian Python.

She was secretly delighted, thinking it was the demon core of the Xuan Tian Python.

Once she was sure there were no other signs of life in the cave, she carefully bypassed the disemboweled corpse of the Xuan Tian Python and slid toward the glowing spot.

However, as she got closer, she realized that what was glittering was not a demon core, but a spring of water.

However, this spring water is quite strange; it not only glows, but it also glows in all sorts of colors.

This was the first time Bai Xiaobai had ever seen a spring that glowed, so she couldn't help but be curious and moved a little closer.

Before she could observe carefully, she was sucked in by a huge suction force.

She tried to struggle in a panic, but gradually lost consciousness.

Before my consciousness completely faded, I only heard a vague sound.

"Welcome to the Beast Realm."
