They gently leaned closer, and the four of them parted the tall grass to discover a cobra about the width of a bowl feasting on a fully grown elephant.
At that moment, the elephant's body had turned completely black, and upon seeing this, everyone realized it had succumbed to deadly poison and died.
Looking at the cobra, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. She silently mused, "The cobra shouldn't be this poisonous. It seems that the environment here has altered it, causing its venom to mutate."
After signaling An Ruo Ran and the others to step back, Luo Bingbing quietly began to retreat first, with An Ruo Ran and the others closely following her.
Once they had retreated to a safe distance, Luo Bingbing stopped and said to them, "That cobra is highly venomous. Even a slight encounter could cost us our lives. It's better for us to take another route and avoid it. After all, we don't know what else might be waiting for us ahead, so we need to conserve our strength."
After hearing the Little One's words, they all nodded in agreement.
They immediately changed their course and found a small path to move forward.
As they bypassed the cobra's territory, a sea of flowers appeared before them. However, the flowers were black.
Seeing those flowers, Luo Bingbing felt puzzled because they seemed to resemble the mandala that bloomed in the underworld, and they had a very beautiful name: Manjushahua.
However, she remembered that mandalas were red, while these were black.
At that moment, Mink asked, "What kind of flowers are these? Why are all the blossoms black?"
Upon hearing her question, An Ruo Ran and Shadowless shook their heads in unison, indicating they didn't know either.
While they were speculating quietly, the Little One spoke up, "Those are mandalas, the guiding flowers that bloom in the underworld. However, their original color is red; here they have turned black."
"Wow, I can't believe there are such flowers in the world," Mink exclaimed in astonishment.
"Alright, let's walk through this sea of flowers along the middle path! Remember, we must not touch those flowers," Luo Bingbing calmly instructed.
Everyone nodded in agreement and followed the Little One towards the flower sea.
As they reached the center of the flower sea, they found their path blocked by a two-meter-long Giant Hornet.
The Giant Hornet was sleeping, sporting a beautiful head that suggested it had become a spirit. Its tail bore a sharp, dark stinger that looked deadly poisonous.
At that moment, sensing an unfamiliar presence intruding into its territory, the Giant Hornet suddenly woke up.
Upon seeing four living beings encroaching on its domain, it became furious and immediately let out a loud buzzing sound.
The noise was like a high-pitched horn at thousands of decibels, causing pain in their ears and making their heads spin.
Shadowless was the first to charge at it, but before he could launch an attack, he became powerless. Luo Bingbing quickly used her internal energy to pull him back.
Seeing Shadowless return, An Ruo Ran attempted to advance and attack the Giant Hornet. Mink followed closely behind her, preparing to strike together with her.
However, their fate was destined to be the same as Shadowless's because they could not withstand the Giant Hornet's "super noise."
Just like with Shadowless, Luo Bingbing pulled them back just as they were about to collapse.
"Master, we are truly useless..."
Luo Bingbing waved her hand to interrupt them and said, "This Giant Hornet is no ordinary creature; it's understandable that you cannot defeat it."
"Master, how are we going to get over there?" Mink asked anxiously.
"Hmph, a mere Giant Hornet thinks it can block my way? That's underestimating me!" After a cold snort, Luo Bingbing secretly used her Wind Ability to conjure countless Wind Blades that instantly flew toward the Giant Hornet.
In the blink of an eye, numerous small holes appeared on the Giant Hornet's body, and bright red blood splattered out. The Giant Hornet then fell heavily into the patch of Black Mandala flowers.
This scene was quite bizarre and terrifying in Mink's eyes.
However, for Shadowless and An Ruo Ran, it was nothing unusual, as they were already aware of the terrifying power of that Little One.
Thus, they were not surprised at all.
Having spent time in the palace, Mink was more attuned to reading people's expressions. When she saw that Shadowless and An Ruo Ran showed no signs of surprise, she realized they must have been accustomed to such things long ago.
At that moment, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Perhaps this is the true strength of that Little One."
Due to the excessive blood from the Giant Hornet, soon the Black Mandala flowers around its body were stained red.
Looking at the vividly blood-colored Mandala flowers before her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think, "This is indeed the guiding flower on the road to the underworld!"
"Alright, let's hurry up! It will be difficult to travel if it gets dark."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from afar. Hearing this sound, the group exchanged glances with each other.
At the same time, they all thought: Could it be another Giant Hornet coming?
Luo Bingbing quickly used her ability to sense the surroundings and discovered that there were Giant Hornets flying in from all directions. However, none of them were as large as the one in front of her.
There were many of them, and they seemed to be the subjects of the Giant Hornet before her, sensing that it had died and coming over in droves.
However, there were so many Giant Hornets—if not a hundred thousand, then at least tens of thousands. After raising an eyebrow slightly, Luo Bingbing ordered Shadowless and the others to leave the area with her as quickly as possible.
After all, if they encountered them, they would either be stung to death or exhausted by them.
Luo Bingbing and her companions rushed forward, trying to escape the sea of Black Mandala flowers. Soon, they spotted a large tree not far ahead.
Seeing those trees, they knew they had reached the edge of the flower sea.
At that moment, they all felt very happy, thinking that they had finally made it out safely.
However, before their smiles could fully form, a loud buzzing sound echoed behind them.
Hearing that sound, they didn't need to think twice; it was definitely the Giant Hornets chasing after them.
They found it strange that even though they had already distanced themselves from where the Giant Hornet had died, those Giant Hornets could still track them down.
The swarm of Giant Hornets flew quickly, and after a while, they appeared within Luo Bingbing's line of sight.
As the Giant Hornets closed in on them, everyone felt a sense of urgency, except for the Little One.
The distance between them and the Giant Hornets shrank from five hundred meters to two hundred meters, and now it was down to fifty meters... Just as the Giant Hornets were only ten meters away from Luo Bingbing and her group, they finally exited the flower sea.
Although they had already left the sea of flowers, a large swarm of Giant Hornets continued to pursue them relentlessly.
Just when the Giant Hornets were only two meters away from Luo Bingbing and the others, An Ruo Ran and her companions thought they would soon be stung by the Giant Hornets, believing there was no escape.
At that moment of despair, the Little One suddenly instructed them to stop and remain still, not to move a step.
Upon hearing the Little One's words, An Ruo Ran and her companions were taken aback. They each thought to themselves, "Could our master be planning to confront that swarm of Giant Hornets? But with so many Giant Hornets, how could we possibly defeat them?"
While they were pondering this, Luo Bingbing quietly set up an invisible barrier around them.
As soon as the barrier was established, the Giant Hornets flew toward them.
Just when Mink thought he was doomed, the Giant Hornets began to veer off more than half a meter away from them, directly bypassing their location and flying into the forest.
Seeing that the Giant Hornets had entered the forest, An Ruo Ran and her companions broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that it was the Little One who had saved them.
Only Mink was left wondering why the Giant Hornets, after pursuing them for so long, would choose to divert just as they were about to catch up.
However, believing they were safe now, the three of them intended to leave.
But before they could lift their feet, they heard the Little One's clear yet childish voice beside them.
The Little One coldly said, "What? Do you really want to go seek death?"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly extinguished their thoughts of leaving, though they did not understand the reason behind the Little One's words.
"An Ruo Ran" then asked, "Master, why do you say that?"
Upon hearing her words, "Luo Bingbing" glanced at the few of them lightly and replied, "You will know soon."
After a while, they saw the "Giant Hornets" that had just flown into the forest coming out again. At that moment, "An Ruo Ran" and the others finally understood why the "Little One" had said that.
Similarly, the "Giant Hornets" flew directly around the barrier and headed straight into the vast expanse of the black "Black Mandala Flower Sea."
Once "Luo Bingbing" sensed that they had flown far away, she casually lifted the barrier.
"Alright, they have flown far away; let's go!" With that, "Luo Bingbing" took the lead and walked ahead.
As they entered the forest, they wandered around inside. Since no one had been there before, towering trees surrounded them, and the ground was covered with decaying leaves.
At this time, it was getting dark.
As "Luo Bingbing" walked along, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart, as if the "Spirit Orbs" were nearby.
So she followed that feeling.
After walking for a while, they reached the edge of the forest. Looking at the vast grassland outside the trees, "Mink" and the others couldn't help but feel immensely joyful.
They thought to themselves that they had finally escaped from that stinking forest.
However, upon seeing the endless grassland, "Luo Bingbing" furrowed her brows tightly.
The reason was that she knew the forest she was in was similar to a Tropical Rainforest, filled with older trees that had accumulated a large amount of rainwater at their bases. Such places often resulted in swamps.
Indeed, the vast expanse of grassland before them was actually an endless swamp.
This was one of the reasons why the Little One furrowed her brows tightly. The more important reason was that she sensed the Spirit Orbs were located somewhere within that swamp.
However, she did not know the exact location. When she had prepared to use her Ability to probe, she discovered that her Ability could not be used here.
It seemed that something nearby was suppressing her Ability.
Luo Bingbing thought: If I can't use my Ability, then so be it! After all, I still have over a hundred years of Power left. But just as her thoughts drifted away, she instinctively sensed danger approaching.
That feeling came from her right rear, so she immediately unleashed all her Power and struck forcefully in that direction.
Not only she, but even Shadowless behind her, as well as An Ruo Ran and Mink standing on either side, felt the danger quietly closing in and simultaneously launched their attacks.
After Luo Bingbing struck, she quickly turned to look and saw a three-meter-long crocodile. Due to the overwhelming force of her strike, the crocodile was instantly killed.
Nearby crocodiles caught the scent of blood and rushed out to devour the carcass. In just a few blinks, there was nothing left of the crocodile, not even its bones.
Looking at the dozen or so crocodiles before her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Goodness! How can there be so many Cannibal Crocodiles?"
At this moment, Shadowless and the others were also engaged in battle with the attacking crocodiles. Their Power was not as profound as Luo Bingbing's, and with so many crocodiles around, they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
Seeing that they were struggling against the onslaught, Luo Bingbing urged them to quickly climb up a tree. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly used their Lightness Skill to ascend into the trees.
Shadowless and An Ruo Ran had already climbed the tree, but Mink Power was weaker and got entangled by a crocodile, unable to escape, even having the hem of her clothing bitten by it.
At that moment, Little One, who was standing on the tree, quickly used her internal energy to pull her up.
However, before they could catch their breath, the Cannibal Crocodiles gathered beneath the tree where they were and began to bite at it from all sides.
Before long, the tree was bitten down by them.
After regaining her composure, Luo Bingbing quickly left that tree. As soon as she landed on it, Little One urged Shadowless and the others to run up the mountain with her.
While running, Luo Bingbing called out to the Phoenix and Snow Spirit Fox. Just as she found a cave and prepared to rest, the Phoenix immediately heard its master's call and flew out with Snow Spirit Fox to find her.
Due to the Phoenix's fast flying speed, it didn't take long for it to locate Luo Bingbing and carry them back to the cave it had found for them to rest.
Dongfang Hao and his group followed Luo Bingbing's footprints and arrived at the place where a Cobra had been feeding. However, by that time, the Cobra was already full and had just closed its eyes to rest.
Because there were many people in Dongfang Hao's group, including Murong Shang and Ye Luyan behind them, the noise woke up the Cobra.
The Cobra was very angry, feeling that its territory had been invaded, and blocked the path of Dongfang Hao and his group who were at the front.
