Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 238, Leaving the Desolate Ancient Domain

Huo Zhi vaguely felt himself being carried in someone's arms and running wildly, and could faintly hear the roars of beasts coming from behind.

She forced her eyes open and saw Ning Su's face.

"I will appeal to the sect leader..."

"You're awake? I thought you'd be a little longer before you woke up. Unfortunately, we're still not out of danger."

Although the Divine Winged Black Serpent King is dead, the beast tide in the desolate ancient domain can never be completely wiped out.

As soon as one group of monsters is wiped out, another group will appear over there.

As long as they remain here, the magical beasts of the desolate ancient realm will relentlessly hunt them down.

This has nothing to do with personal grudges, but rather it is an inevitable hatred between humans and magical beasts, especially these magical beasts in the desolate ancient realm, who are even more resentful of humans.

Regardless of any past grievances, they will relentlessly hunt down any human they discover!

Good news: these magical beasts are just numerous, but their cultivation is not as strong as that of the Divine Winged Black Serpent King. Most of them are only at the eighth level, with only two or three at the initial stage of the ninth level.

The bad news is that Ning Su also suffered serious injuries in the battle with the Divine Wing Black Serpent King. He might not even be able to defeat a low-level ninth-tier magical beast.

Huo Zhi also noticed that blood was constantly seeping from Ning Su's mouth, and his breathing was heavy and warm, indicating that he was not in good condition.

"Are you alright?" she asked worriedly.

"They're not going to die yet, but these beasts are really good at chasing."

Ning Su quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for a place where she could shake off the monsters.

Soon, he saw a winding canyon not far ahead, which he could make use of.

Ning Su quickly leaped into the canyon, relentlessly pursued by the horde of beasts.

However, monsters are too large and cannot match the agility of humans, so they have no advantage in such narrow spaces.

"The Gate of Space!"

After leaving them behind on several bends, Ning decisively opened a spatial portal in front of him, went inside, and then closed it.

By the time the monsters caught up, they were already gone.

If they try to escape head-on, these eighth-tier magical beasts are capable of tearing through space to catch up.

But now Ning Su will first create some distance before chasing, so that even if they catch up, they will no longer be able to find the same space.

……

Deep within the ancient, untamed realm.

After successfully shaking off the beast tide, Ning Su arrived at a quiet mountain forest. There were very few magical beasts around, so it should be located on the edge of the ancient wilderness.

He found a cave belonging to some unknown magical beast, killed the beast inside, and then seized its lair—a lair inhabited by magical beasts would carry their scent, deterring other magical beasts from approaching.

The reason for specifically looking for caves that already contain monsters is to avoid finding an empty cave and then having a monster return halfway through.

This is perfect; we only need to deal with the monsters inside the cave, and all other problems will be solved.

"It's safe here for now, let's rest for a bit."

Ning Su put Huo Zhi down. In fact, the latter had been in a daze the whole time. The attack from the Divine Wing Black Serpent King had caused serious damage to her internal organs.

Theoretically, the attack from the Divine Winged Black Serpent King could have killed her instantly, but she actually withstood it, probably because she had some kind of life-saving magic treasure.

As members of one of the eight ancient families, they must have plenty of things to protect themselves.

Ning Su took out a pill from her storage ring and brought it to Huo Zhi.

"This is a sixth-grade life-extending pill, a healing medicine. I'll give it to you now."

He was afraid that Huo Zhi wouldn't believe him, so he explained it again.

Although Huo Zhi was seriously injured, she was still somewhat conscious and responded with a nod, indicating that she was aware of the situation.

Ning then reached out and removed the veil from Huo Zhi's face, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

Huo Zhi was also a standard beauty, with delicate and beautiful features that were perfectly matched. However, at this moment, her face was very pale, and there was a glaring bright red mark on the corner of her mouth.

Ning Su held the pill to her lips, and she obediently opened her red lips and swallowed the pill.

After feeding her a pill, Ning Su then gave herself a healing pill and a Qi-restoring pill.

Once he recovers, he won't be afraid of any number of magical beasts outside.

Aside from magical beasts of the level of the Divine Winged Black Serpent King, he could easily deal with all other magical beasts.

……

Both of them took the pills and rested here for a while.

Ning's injuries were less severe than Huo's, and she was also in better physical condition, so she recovered faster.

Huo Zhi's injuries were more severe, and his recovery ability was not as good as Ning Su's.

Ning will need to take care of her for the next couple of days.

"Come and eat."

Ning prepared some roasted monster meat and wild fruit, enough for the two of them.

The latest novel is first published here!

Although at their level of cultivation, it doesn't matter whether they eat or not.

But these things are so delicious, wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on so much fun if we didn't eat them?

Huo Zhi took a piece of roasted meat from Ning Su, then removed her veil and began to eat it in small bites.

After she finished eating, she put her veil back on.

"Miss Fire Child, you're so beautiful, why do you have to wear a veil? You'd look so much prettier if you took it off," Ning said.

Huo Zhi paused for a moment.

Ning had asked her this question once before, but she had simply skipped over the answer.

I asked it again now.

But this time, Himeko reacted differently.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she raised her hand and slowly removed her veil, revealing her exquisite face.

Her complexion has improved a lot, and she has regained a lot of color.

"You look much better without your veil," Ning Su said with a smile.

"Thank you..." Huo Zhi turned her face slightly away, a blush creeping across her cheeks.

……

The two rested here for a few days until their injuries healed before setting off again, leaving their cave nest and flying towards the exit of the desolate ancient domain.

Once they were fully recovered, they no longer needed to be so apprehensive and cautious; they could basically roam freely in the desolate ancient domain.

After successfully leaving the desolate ancient domain, there were practically no people left at the exit.

Several days have passed since the Bodhi tree disappeared. Basically, everyone who could leave has already left, and those who haven't left are unable to leave.

The desolate ancient realm is not a good place. Without something as tempting as the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it is not enough to attract other people to stay there.

Moreover, with the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree this time, tens of thousands of people entered the desolate ancient realm, but in the end, very few were actually able to obtain the treasure.

Most people left empty-handed, which is already considered a very good situation.

Many more remained forever in the desolate ancient land.

"Sect Leader Ning Su, now that I'm out, I'll take my leave first. Farewell," Huo Zhi said.

"Okay, until we meet again."

The two parted ways and went their separate ways.
