The small hill buried in the pool suddenly loosened, surprising Adams. Gu Chaoyan glared at him, and he refrained from saying anything.

The unexpected occurrence resulted in the small mountain filling up the pool, causing the cold water to dilute in the soil. Although this was a normal outcome, the sudden loosening of the small mountain left Adams worried. He feared that the water might not engulf the small mountain as expected, a potentially terrifying situation. His surprise and panic were evident.

Given the unforeseen development, there was no need for them to expose themselves and interfere. The black-robed man and the Tribe Chief of the Huang Clan were below, so they decided to observe the situation first.

The loosened area seemed to be continuously unraveling, as if something was about to emerge. This caught the attention of the black-robed man and the Huang clan leader.

“What is happening?”

“Could it be that this small mountain is going to be devoured? Didn’t they say it only needs bones and flesh for sacrifice?” the Tribe Chief of the Huang Clan wondered aloud. He even contemplated that using dead things for sacrifice in the future might be easier than using living creatures.

The black-robed man glared at him and gruffly instructed, “Shut up.”

The Tribe Chief of the Huang Clan fell silent, watching as the area continued to loosen.

Suddenly…

The loosened spot started to crack, and a fissure appeared. A black snake swiftly emerged from the crack, opening its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth in an extremely aggressive manner and lunging towards the Tribe Chief of the Huang Clan. Overwhelmed with fear, he urinated on himself and hastily retreated.

Even the black-robed man was left stunned.

The black snake showed no mercy; it was clearly enraged and determined to devour anyone in one bite.

The black-robed man desperately shouted, “It’s me!”

However, the snake paid no heed. The black-robed man had no choice but to evade the snake, realizing he was no match for it. With numerous injuries and one arm bitten off, he was clearly in a dire situation.

Seeing the danger, Gu Chaoyan came down from the tree and directed, “That way!”

Recognizing that if the snake escaped, both the Huang Clan and other clansmen would be in grave danger, Gu Chaoyan knew she had to subdue the demonic spirit snake, Fey, now. The snake had grown stronger by devouring more people, becoming a more significant threat.

As Gu Chaoyan descended, the sorcerer and Adams also came down to a.s.sist.

The Tribe Chief of the Huang Clan, in his confusion, pointed at the three of them and accused, “You are the people who destroyed this pool!”

Ignoring the accusations, the sorcerer, taking advantage of the black-robed man’s inability to escape, drew an arrow from his bow and stabbed the man to death. The black-robed man, already bitten and bleeding profusely, found a premature end.

With the black-robed man’s demise, his sinister appearance became evident—a face of green, reflecting his heretical and evil practices. His death did not elicit sympathy.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan continued her fierce battle against the powerful and venomous black snake. This snake, having consumed numerous people, possessed potent venom and formidable strength. Dodging its venomous attacks, Gu Chaoyan, drawing on her training from Supreme Sect, managed to injure the snake.

Adams, watching in fear, kept reminding her, “Be careful!”
