"Little dog, look at the demonic snake on this wall. Doesn't it look like the Sky-Devouring Snake?" Qingfeng Li pointed towards the wall and asked.

Black Puppy raised its head and looked towards the wall.

The stone wall on its right had carvings of a gigantic demonic snake. It was hundreds of meters in length and black all over. Its eyes were also pitch black, without a trace of other colors. It had its tongue out, and even the tongue was black.

The demonic snake looked exactly like Sky-Devouring Snake. It was just larger by a hundred times.

Black Puppy nodded and said, "Yes, it looks like Sky-Devouring Snake."

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy looked at the drawing on the wall carefully, their eyes filled with intrigue, talking about it non-stop.

Qingfeng Li didn't expect to find pictures of Sky-Devouring Snake on the Spirit Emperor Cave's walls. The owner of the cave must have had seen the Sky-Devouring Snake before, or at least had dreamt of the beast.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy stayed for only a moment, feeling up the walls. They didn't find any treasure, so they continued to walk.

A little while later, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and said, "Everyone, be careful. I smell blood."

Qingfeng Li slowed down his footsteps, creeping forward slowly.

The others followed, slowing down as well, inching forward carefully, afraid to disturb the people in front of them.

After five minutes of walking, Qingfeng Li discovered four bodies on the ground 30 meters in front of them.

They were all bodies of random self-cultivators belonging to no particular sects or parties. They had randomly gathered and had picked the first path. Unfortunately, they had all been killed.

Their deaths looked miserable, their faces pale without a trace of color. Their corpses looked dried up as if their blood had been sucked out by some demonic beast.

Their eyes were filled with pain and panic as if they had witnessed something horrifying moments before their deaths.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy felt nothing at the sight of the dead bodies because they had seen worse.

But Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin were completely terrified at the scene. They were both women, and the most that they had seen were self-cultivators being killed. But this was the first time they had seen death by exsanguination. The frightening sight was both bizarre and bone-chilling.

"Big Brother Li, I'm a little bit scared." Xianzhi Qin looked towards Qingfeng Li, her voice trembling.

Xianzhi Qin was the eldest daughter of the palace master of the Fiery Emperor Palace and had always lived a sheltered life. She was fragile and beautiful, second only to her father.

Her life was taken care of, and she didn't have to worry about much. Her only job was to practice. Although she had seen people get killed during her time as a self-cultivator, she had never seen deaths so miserable.

Qingfeng Li walked towards Xianzhi Qin and patted her shoulder. He said, "Don't be scared, I'm here. Nothing will happen to you."

Feeling the warmth of his hand, Xianzhi Qin felt much better, her fear slowly fading away. She believed in Qingfeng Li. She believed that he would conquer any obstacle that got in their way.

"Little dog, watch the back. I'll take the lead. You two stay in the middle." Qingfeng Li reminded everyone again and began walking.

Black Puppy strutted without a care in the world, unafraid of any beasts. "If they dare to appear in front of me, they're going to get smashed to death by their Grand Daddy Dog."

"I smell blood." After a little while, Qingfeng Li smelt the scent of blood again.

He headed towards a curve on the path and discovered seven to eight dead bodies there.

It was double the amount of the last pile, but the two groups shared the same cause of death. Their bodies were left completely dried out, their blood all sucked clean, leaving only their bones and layers of skin.

Qingfeng Li's face darkened. He could already sense an evil monster hidden within the pathway, and it wasn't far away.

Qingfeng Li suddenly turned his head towards the back. A black shadow fleeted by, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Even Qingfeng Li couldn't describe its appearance.

Black Puppy wanted to chase the black shadow but was stopped by Qingfeng Li.

"Why did you stop me?" asked Black Puppy. "That evil monster probably killed all these self-cultivators."

Although the evil monster appeared to be extremely powerful and evil, Black Puppy wasn't afraid. It was actually quite excited to battle and kill the evil being.

Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, " know you're not afraid, but Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin are afraid. We can't let them get hurt."

Hearing his words, Flower Fairy and Xianzhi Qin felt happy and grateful. They both looked at Qingfeng Li with even more admiration.

"Women are so annoying," Black Puppy murmured, feeling slightly irritated.

Of course, Black Puppy was more annoyed by Qingfeng Li.

He was always watching out for the women and never for himself. As far as Black Puppy was concerned, Qingfeng Li should've killed that evil monster. Only then would their headaches be gone.

"Let's keep going. The evil monster will appear sooner or later. Everyone stay vigilant." Qingfeng Li waved his hand and led the others forward.

Not long afterward, a black shadow appeared right where Qingfeng Li was standing. Its face and body blended into the darkness, its eyes bloodthirsty, emitting a deadly black aura.

Its body was light as a feather. With one swift motion, it entered the cave walls.

After a little while, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. He felt something or someone following him. He felt the presence of the evil monster again.

Qingfeng Li turned around once more. Again, he saw nothing. The whole pathway was empty.

Qingfeng Li was confused. He was sure he had felt a fleeting black shadow behind him.

But now, there was nothing there. However, the sense of danger he felt in his heart grew more and more alarming.

"Why are you acting so weird? I'm behind you, and there's nothing here." Black Puppy looked at Qingfeng Li in confusion.

Qingfeng Li didn't answer Black Puppy because he felt the evil monster getting closer and closer. It was already beside him, ready to attack at any moment.

Black Puppy was going to say something but Qingfeng Li had gestured for it to stop.

Black Puppy bit its tongue, looking dejected.
