Chapter 45

After several days passed, countless demonic beasts had dispersed, but a few three-eyed giant sturgeons remained, steadfastly watching Zhao Shuo and his companions from a distance, especially the injured three-eyed giant sturgeon, which seemed to want to tear Zhao Shuo apart.

"Damn it, these three-eyed giant sturgeons are really determined to wear us down. If we don't leave, they'll just keep watching us from outside. What's the point of that!"

Sitting on a rock, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but laugh at Jing Busu's grumbling: "It's only been a few days. Since they have the patience, we can just wait it out. You might as well focus on your cultivation like Qingyi."

Jing Busu scratched his head and plopped down next to Jing Bumei, muttering incessantly: "Damn it, once I get stronger, I'll tear these three-eyed giant sturgeons to pieces."

A glint of determination flashed in Jing Qingyi's eyes as she said slowly: "Zhao Shuo, this isn't a solution. We can't outlast these three-eyed giant sturgeons."

Zhao Shuo sat cross-legged and said: "Even so, there's nothing we can do. These past few days, no matter how we provoke them, these three-eyed giant sturgeons won't take a single step forward, as if advancing would lead them into some terrifying place. Even a fool knows that the tomb forest behind us isn't a good place."

Jing Qingyi frowned but said nothing. She and Zhao Shuo were well aware that they needed to hold on as long as they could. If they had no choice, they would have to risk entering the tomb forest, no matter how dangerous it was, rather than be trapped here by a few three-eyed giant sturgeons forever.

Several more days passed in the blink of an eye. The three-eyed giant sturgeons remained unperturbed, some even leisurely wandering around, but they wouldn't take a single step forward. Zhao Shuo and his companions gritted their teeth, but they had no way to deal with these three-eyed giant sturgeons.

Zhao Shuo spent hundreds of years of his magical power to repair the Great Pangu Dharma Image and to refine the pearl and the remaining corpses, eventually gaining nearly a thousand years of magical power. Without hesitation, he allocated a thousand years of magical power to the Great Pangu Dharma Image, increasing its power. His cultivation also reached the high stage of the Core Formation realm, with the essence in his dantian transforming from liquid to solid. He believed it wouldn't be long before his cultivation reached the peak of the Core Formation realm.

A cold, gleaming pair of scissors floated in Jing Qingyi's hand, the very Dragon Tooth Scissors that Zhao Shuo had obtained from Song Qiang. Jing Busu and Jing Bumei were also refining their own treasures.

In these few days, Zhao Shuo and his companions had done their best to arm themselves, significantly enhancing their strength. However, they were still no match for the three-eyed giant sturgeons outside.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo glanced at the three-eyed giant sturgeons and took the lead, walking towards the eerie tomb forest.

As they passed the massive stone stele, four green beams of light shot out from it, illuminating the four of them. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared. The surrounding three-eyed giant sturgeons vanished the moment the green light appeared, leaving the ancient and eerie tomb forest completely devoid of any living creatures.

Zhao Shuo felt a dizzying sensation and instinctively grabbed at anything to steady himself.

His grab actually caught something. It felt soft and a faint fragrance wafted towards him. Before Zhao Shuo could react, a scream startled him, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a cannonball, flying out and crashing into several trees. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned a bit better. Struggling to get up from the branches, a white silk ribbon shot out, wrapping around his waist. The owner of the ribbon gave a slight shake, and Zhao Shuo was bundled up like a dumpling, unable to move except for his head.

"You..."

Zhao Shuo was about to get angry, but he was instantly stunned when he saw a woman. She had exquisite features and a transcendent aura, her loose robe accentuating her curvaceous figure, and her black, lustrous hair cascading down to her full, firm buttocks, making her a peerless beauty.

If Su Xiu's beauty was dignified and approachable, then this woman's beauty was ethereal and distant, as if she were untouchable.

The woman frowned, her eyes filled with rage, as if Zhao Shuo had committed an unforgivable act.

Her rosy, delicate lips parted, and her murderous words made Zhao Shuo shudder, instantly snapping him out of his admiration.

"Shameless scoundrel, I, Bai Jianjia, will kill you!"

Instantly, Zhao Shuo felt a killing intent lock onto him. Unable to move, he immediately shouted: "Maiden, please wait, I have something to say!"

Bai Jianjia snorted coldly, her expressionless face looking at Zhao Shuo: "Speak, what are your last words?"

What was happening? Just as they had escaped the surveillance of the three-eyed giant sturgeons, they now found themselves in the hands of this fierce beauty, with their lives in constant danger.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo said: "Maiden Bai Jianjia, I wonder what I have done to offend you so much that you hate me so?"

Bai Jianjia's smooth, jade-like face flushed, her chest heaving as she struggled to calm herself. A hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she snorted: "I just don't like the look of you, and I want to kill you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but get angry. Ignoring the fact that his life was in her hands, he jumped up and shouted at Bai Jianjia: "You little wench, calling you a maiden is a compliment. You're so quick to attack and kill, truly a waste of such a beautiful face. Ah... spit!"

Zhao Shuo vented his frustration, even releasing the pent-up anger from being forced into the Death Island by the three-eyed giant sturgeons.

Bai Jianjia's face changed dramatically, turning from green to white. Considering her noble status, no one had ever insulted her like this. She was instantly furious, and with a slight shake of the white silk ribbon, Zhao Shuo's body was launched like a cannonball towards a distant mountain.

If he hit the mountain, the powerlessly restrained Zhao Shuo would surely turn into a puddle of flesh.

Zhao Shuo didn't expect Bai Jianjia to attack so quickly. As he flew towards the mountain, he shouted: "Bai Jianjia, you'll pay for this..."

Before Zhao Shuo could finish his sentence, he saw her face in shock, his mouth wide open.

At some point, a massive skeletal gorilla had raised its bony fist and was about to strike Bai Jianjia's back. The force was so great that if it hit her, it might really tear her apart.
