Chapter 30: We are now on the back of the ten thousand year old python…!

Xiaohua appeared on Ning Yue’s shoulder.

Ning Yue’s expression didn’t change; she communicated with Xiaohua mentally.

“Where exactly is the Green Lotus?” Ning Yue looked ahead.

Xiaohua had just come out of the consciousness space; it lazily stretched, squinting its eyes and looking around.

“…Almost there, almost there. See that big tree ahead? There’s a hole in front of the tree; it’s covered.

You’ll fall into that hole later; the Green Lotus is inside.”

Ning Yue kept walking, getting closer and closer to the hole…

Xiaohua must have seen a prediction of the future, so she said they would fall into the hole.

She didn’t know how deep the hole was, but it was definitely deep.

Ning Yue didn’t want to fall on her butt.

“Everyone, stop” Ning Yue called out.

Everyone obediently stopped, thinking Ning Yue had discovered something.

“It feels strange here…” Ning Yue walked around everyone to the front.

She cautiously moved forward step by step.

She didn’t know the exact location of the big hole; she could only find it this way.

Her feet landed on soft ground; Ning Yue paused

No way!

“Ah”

Ning Yue fell down unexpectedly

As she fell, she expressionlessly muttered.

Damn it! I still ended up falling on my butt!!!

Before she hit the ground, after falling only four or five meters, Ning Yue’s feet suddenly landed on solid ground.

A long sword, emitting blue light, appeared beneath her feet.

Looking up

Shi Yinghan’s figure was blurry; standing in front of the hole, his two fingers were together, urging the long sword, comforting her from the hole.

“Junior Sister, don’t be afraid; I’ll get you up now.”

The sword hummed beneath her feet; it was about to lift her up.

Ning Yue quickly said, “Senior Brother! There’s a large space in the hole.

It’s said that the Green Lotus likes dark and humid environments; we might find something here; let’s go down and have a look!”

“Okay, wait for me.” Shi Yinghan didn’t hesitate; he lifted his robe and jumped down.

Ning Yue subconsciously reached out to catch him.

Shi Yinghan was already standing steadily on the long sword.

He smiled at Ning Yue. “Don’t worry.”

The others also descended on their swords.

Yang Fei patted his chest and looked Ning Yue up and down.

“I was scared, Junior Sister; you were talking, and the next second, you slipped and fell.

I thought something happened; it turns out there’s a hole.”

Ning Yue chuckled. “I said this place felt strange; there really is a hole.”

Duan Huailin pondered. “It seems this formation has shortcomings; it doesn’t protect the underground.

If enemies attack from underground, it won’t be good.”

Lu Qingyan lifted Ning Yue onto her sword.

Ning Yue blinked; her feet left the long sword: “…”

Shi Yinghan smiled. “…What’s wrong, Junior Sister Lu?”

Lu Qingyan maintained her calm expression and explained.

“…Senior Brother, you scout ahead; I’ll protect Junior Sister.”

Song Yishi sat on Yang Fei’s sword and threw a few talismans to Shi Yinghan.

“Here, Senior Brother, Fire Talismans; they can illuminate…”

Shi Yinghan helplessly took the talismans and flew his sword into the unfathomable depths of the hole.

The remaining people calmly followed Shi Yinghan.

Ning Yue looked at the steady sword beneath her feet. “Wow, Senior Sister isn’t a sound cultivator; your sword control is so steady.”

Yang Fei laughed at this.

“Junior Sister, don’t flatter her; I’m a beast tamer, and my sword control is also very good.”

Then, he swayed his sword left and right, even turning half a circle.

He proudly raised an eyebrow at Ning Yue. “How is it? Senior Brother’s sword control is also very steady, right?”

Ning Yue looked behind Yang Fei with a complex expression, then gave an affirmative nod.

Song Yishi, sitting on Yang Fei’s sword, was as if welded to it.

Expressionless, she raised her eyes and slapped Yang Fei hard.

“Ah”

Yang Fei covered the back of his head and straightened his sword with a mournful expression.

Lu Qingyan glanced at Yang Fei lightly, increased her speed, and quickly left him behind.

Yu Xiao called from behind. “Don’t go so fast, Senior Sister Lu; I have two people on my sword.”

Jiang Yishen and Duan Huailin, like Ning Yue, had just entered the sect and hadn’t learned yet; they were sent out and could only be taken by others on their swords.

Duan Huailin was searching for something. “Wait a moment, Senior Sister; I’ll make a flying formation.”

Yu Xiao chuckled. “Just stand still; don’t underestimate me; I can totally support you two, okay?”

“There’s light ahead”

Shi Yinghan’s voice came.

One by one, they reached the ground.

Sure enough, there was a cave entrance not far ahead, emitting a faint blue glow in the dim environment.

Shi Yinghan extinguished the Fire Talisman in his hand and walked to the front.

“…I’ll go check it out.”

Xiaohua stood on Ning Yue’s shoulder, composed.

“Good luck; the giant python is sleeping; find the Green Lotus and get out quickly; you might avoid a fight with it.”

Ning Yue tried her best to be quiet.

“That means I’ve escaped the fate of being eaten by a giant python.”

“Mm,” Xiaohua leaned against Ning Yue’s face. “Quickly find the Green Lotus; don’t wake the giant python, and you’ll be fine.”

As they entered the cave entrance, they were stunned by the sight

The faint blue glow inside the cave was emitted by blue crystals embedded in the cave walls.

The entire cave was shrouded in a dreamy blue light.

As Ning Yue stepped inside, a strange feeling suddenly struck her.

But looking around, she didn’t see the giant python, nor the Green Lotus.

There were several puddles inside the cave, glowing blue.

Not far away was a small waterfall completely frozen.

She didn’t know where the water came from…

She was sure the Green Lotus was in this cave!

While searching, she asked.

“Xiaohua, since the Green Lotus is in this cave, why don’t we see the ten-thousand-year-old giant python?”

Xiaohua was puzzled, with an expression of “What are you saying? I don’t understand,” and slowly said.

“…It’s right under your feet.

I thought you were so unconcerned about stepping on it because you knew it was the ten-thousand-year-old giant python.”

Ning Yue: “…”

She paused

Lost in thought…

Ah… so I’m stepping on a snake’s back… no wonder the ground felt strange…

By the time she realized it, Ning Yue was numb…

She looked down at the dark ground; it looked so uncomfortable!

I knew it! It felt strange when I first came in; that’s why.

Ning Yue, who had avoided snakes in her past life and might be eaten by a snake in this life, tried her best to steady her trembling voice.

“Senior brothers and sisters”

The senior brothers and sisters who were scattered around searching for the Green Lotus turned to look at her.

Yang Fei even casually jumped down from a high place, his feet making a “bang” sound on the ground.

Ning Yue trembled.

“What’s wrong, Junior Sister? Did you find the Green Lotus?” Yang Fei asked.

“…No, Senior Brother,” Ning Yue said.  “There’s something you all need to know”

Ning Yue took a deep breath. “We’re currently standing on the back of a ten-thousand-year-old giant python!”

“…”

Everyone: “…!”
