The guard snorted at her and ignored her. Qian Xing kicked the cell door angrily.
Other than the color of the Snake Core Grass changing, its body was also a little stiff. Qian Xing didn't know what to do. Qian Xing accidentally saw water in the bowl. She remembered that the snake core grass liked to play with water, so she carefully placed the snake core grass in the water bowl. The snake core grass was in a much better state when it was soaked in water.
It looked like she was really sick, but she couldn't get out. Just as Qian Xing was panicking and didn't know what to do, she remembered the brocade bag Li Shuo gave her. She hurriedly took out the brocade bag. Qian Xing looked at the Snake Core Grass in the water and then turned back to look at the small pill in her hand. She thought to herself, This medicine was given by the Penglai Immortal Venerable. It must not be poison. Perhaps it was some kind of panacea Snake Core Grass.”Thinking of this, Qian Xing fed the pill to the Snake Core Grass and prayed in her heart,'You must cure it!”
After taking the pill, the snake-core grass's body became much softer. It crawled out of the bowl and crawled around as if it was looking for something. Finally, it found a very rough stone on an exposed wall. It rubbed its head against the stone, and slowly, a translucent skin protruded from the corner of the Snake Core Grass's mouth. Qian Xing finally understood that the Snake Core Grass was about to shed its skin. She sat at the side and watched the process quietly.
Qian Xing looked like he was looking at his own child. His eyes were filled with love. The Snake Core Grass was about to grow. Although the process was painful, it was a growth process that it had to go through.
Now, he did not know if the medicine had any effect or if it had only accelerated the process of its molting. Perhaps it was because the Snake Core Grass was relatively small and had four limbs to help, but its molting process was very smooth and fast. After shedding its skin, the Snakeheart Grass returned to its original appearance. Moreover, the emerald green color on its body was brighter and clearer, and it looked more adorable. However, what puzzled Qian Xing was that the size of the Snakeheart Grass did not seem to have changed. Shouldn't it have grown bigger?!
After a while, Qian Xing felt relieved. He didn't care anymore. As long as the Snake Core Grass was safe, it was fine. In his heart, Qian Xing still felt that the palm-sized Snake Core Grass was the most suitable. Not only was it cute, but it was also convenient to carry. If it really turned into a big lizard, Qian Xing would probably be afraid.
After shedding, the Snake Core Grass became very docile and obedient. It must have been too tiring to shed. Qian Xing put it back into the brocade bag and told it to have a good rest. She took out the Thousand Star Bead and put it in the brocade bag that was filled with medicine just now so that it would not squeeze the Snake Core Grass.
Since he had nothing to do, Qian Xing lay down and thought about something. As he thought about it, he fell asleep again.
After some time, Qian Xing felt someone pat her shoulder. She opened her eyes and couldn't help but step back. She asked in horror," Who are you?”
" You don't recognize me? I'm Snake Heart Grass--
Qian Xing looked at the little boy in front of him with a blank expression. His appearance was similar to that of a child in the mortal world. The only difference was his pointy ears. Upon closer inspection, he looked very cute. He had big round eyes, long and thick eyelashes, a pink and full face, and a small, rosy mouth. He looked like a doll in a New Year painting, very lovable. Qian Xing couldn't help but pinch his chubby little face. It was soft and smooth, and it felt especially good. Qian Xing smiled foolishly.
The Snake Core Grass didn't resist. It just looked at Qian Xing as if he was looking at a fool. Qian Xing took off his hand and stared at the Snake Core Grass. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Alright, let's go if we've seen enough!”Snake Heart Grass said helplessly.
Only then did Qian Xing react. She turned her head to look at the little demon guarding the door. She did not know when he had fallen to the ground and did not move. Although Qian Xing still had a lot of questions, she thought that there was still a long way to go, so she should go out first.
After leaving, they walked for a long distance. They estimated that the demons would not chase after them, so Qian Xing and the others slowed down.
"Xin, why did you suddenly turn into a human?”Qian Xing asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"I absorbed the power of the Thousand Star Beads to be able to cultivate to human form so quickly.”Xiao Xin said calmly.
" It's so easy for you to become a human. I was almost struck to death by the heavenly lightning back then," Qian Xing said enviously.
"Actually, it wasn't that easy. The Thousand Star Beads were only one part of it. Molting was my biggest problem, and I could have lost my life at any time. Fortunately, you gave me that pill, so I wasn't in so much pain and I managed to keep my life.”Xiao Xin said slowly. One could hear the gratitude in the tone of the Snake Core Grass.
Now, they had to meet up with Li Shuo and Ye Chen as soon as possible and leave this place together. At first, it was quite smooth, but they were still discovered by the sentries everywhere on the mountain. Qian Xing held Xiao Xin's hand and ran away on the mountain. The small demons behind them chased after them relentlessly. Not only that, but the number of small demons kept increasing during the chase. They were surrounded by small demons. Qian Xing and the others were forced into the cliff and had no way out.
Qian Xing shook off Xiao Xin's hand and pushed him to the side, then said," You can leave. My magic power has been sealed by Dai Pan and I can't run away."”
Xiao Xin stood rooted to the ground. Although he was young, he was very loyal and brave. He looked at Qian Xing with determination and said firmly," I'm not leaving. If we want to leave, we'll leave together!"”
"Be obedient. You can't help me even if you stay. Hurry up and leave, or you won't be able to leave!”Qian Xing said anxiously.
"I said I won't leave. Why are you so long-winded?”Xiao Xin said unhappily.
Qian Xing glared at Xiao Xin and said angrily," Why are you so stubborn? Can't you listen to me for once?!"”
The little demons on the opposite side shouted at them,"None of you can escape. Our king said that if you escape, you will be killed without mercy!"”After saying that, he gestured for his subordinates to go up, and all the little demons swarmed up.
Xiao Xin stood in front of Qian Xing, revealing two long and sharp venomous fangs. Her eyes had also turned back to their original green color and were emitting a faint green light. Her expression was ferocious and terrifying. Unexpectedly, the magic power of the Snake Core Grass actually surpassed Qian Xing's. Qian Xing was really ashamed.
However, the Snake Core Grass soon ran out of stamina and could only barely cope. Qian Xing knew that the Snake Core Grass had just shed its skin, and its body was very weak and needed a good rest. But now, in order to save Qian Xing…
Qian Xing felt that she was a burden and would only burden others. In the past, it was Li Shuo and Ye Chen. Now, even the Snake Core Grass was a burden. She couldn't just stand by and watch. She took out the Thousand Star Bead and said to it," If you are really fated with me, please help me save Xiaoxin."”After saying that, he threw the Thousand Star Bead at the Snake Core Grass. The Thousand Star Bead emitted a white light in the air and flew straight towards the Snake Core Grass. It flashed beside the Snake Core Grass, and the Thousand Star Bead and Xiao Xin disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Qian Xing was finally relieved. She no longer had any worries. A long spear pierced towards Qian Xing's abdomen. Qian Xing could not dodge in time. The spearhead almost sank into Qian Xing's abdomen. Qian Xing's eyes widened and she spat out a large mouthful of blood. She instinctively grabbed the spear with her hands. Little Yao saw this and pulled the spear back. Qian Xing let out a miserable cry and let go of her hands. She fell to the ground. Her hands were cut by the sharp spearhead and blood flowed out. She lay on the ground unconscious.
The little demon with the gun wanted to go up and shoot again, but a dog demon came out and said to him," Boss, you don't have to do it. I'll go and see if she's dead or not. If she's not dead, I'll finish her off for you!”
The spear-wielding little demon didn't say anything. It was a silent agreement. The dog demon walked to Qian Xing's side. He first kicked Qian Xing. Seeing that she didn't respond, he went to check her breathing and sniffed her body. Then he turned around and said to the other little demons," She's dead!”After saying that, he stood up, grabbed Qian Xing's shoulder, and threw her down the cliff. The little gremlin with the spear looked at him with satisfaction, and then the rest of the gremlins went back together.
When the dog demon threw Qian Xing down, he injected some magic power into her body, so that when Qian Xing fell down the cliff, there was a force in her body that supported her so that she would not fall into pieces. This was the only thing he could do.
Li Shuo's heart ached for a while. He clutched his chest and frowned. In order not to let others see, he quietly walked at the back. A bad premonition covered Li Shuo's heart like a black cloud, making him unable to breathe. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that it had something to do with Qian Xing. He forced himself not to think about the bad things, but that terrifying thought kept appearing from every corner of his mind, disturbing Li Shuo's heart. Li Shuo silently said in his heart,"Xing 'er, please don't be in trouble."”
Qian Xing's eyelashes trembled slightly before she regained her composure. As she fell, Qian Xing revealed her true form. A circle of white fur grew on her tail, and Qian Xing landed safely on a huge rock. The bright red blood was not very eye-catching on Thousand Star's black fur. It looked like it was asleep. What was waiting for it at the bottom of this desolate cliff?
In the boundless darkness, Qian Xing walked aimlessly. He didn't know where he was going, but if he stopped, he would only be more confused and afraid. After walking for a long time, an ear-piercing metal sound came from the depths of the darkness, like the sound of iron chains scratching the ground. Qian Xing held his breath and wanted to hear it more clearly, but the sound disappeared. Qian Xing waited for a long time, but there was still no sound. It lost its patience and even began to suspect that it was just an auditory hallucination. At this moment, a loud and sharp collision sound entered Qian Xing's ears, causing him to wake up with a loud cry. He did not have time to look at his surroundings and only used his claws to cover his chest, trying to calm his pounding heart.
