After hearing her words, An Zimo immediately denied, "You have mistaken me for someone else. How could I possibly be the renowned master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"
"Is that so? Then why did you come out from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion on the nights of March 8th, April 12th, and May 20th?"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, An Zimo coldly looked at her and said, "I have no enmity with you in the past, nor any grievances recently. Why are you following me?"
Luo Bingbing sneered and replied, "Following? You really overestimate yourself! We are just curious about the secret relationship between the Peerless Divine Doctor and the master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"What exactly are you people?" As soon as An Zimo finished speaking, Dongfang Hao immediately said, "It's better for you not to know who we are."
An Zimo was about to continue questioning when Shan Kefan beside him slightly cupped his hands in greeting towards Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you both here unexpectedly."
After nodding lightly, Luo Bingbing asked, "Indeed surprising. Can you tell me why you are here?"
"You should know that my sister-in-law is about to give birth. I came here to find a better gift for my unborn nephew."
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing immediately asked, "What? Are you saying my senior sister is about to give birth?" As soon as she finished speaking, Shan Kefan questioned in confusion, "Don't you know?"
Shaking her head slightly, Luo Bingbing frowned and said, "I haven't received any news."
"It should still be on its way. Besides, since you all came here, it's not surprising that you don't know." Just then, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky, accompanied by a light drizzle.
Seeing that it started to rain, everyone knew that a heavy downpour would follow soon. Thus, Shadowless and Ye Feng quickened their pace significantly.
Noticing that Ye Feng and the others had already handled their needed Rhinoceros Hide and meat, as well as Rhinoceros Horns, Shan Kefan suggested to Dongfang Hao, "There's a cave on the mountain opposite; why don't we go there to avoid the rain?"
They had just been looking for a cave, so when they heard that there was a ready-made cave available, they immediately followed Shan Kefan. An Zimo did not voice any objections about Luo Bingbing and the others wanting to go to the cave, but he had his reservations in his heart.
Afterward, they spent a night in that cave, and their food naturally consisted of the rhinoceros meat.
Shan Kefan had heard from Su Yan that the meat roasted by Luo Bingbing was exceptionally delicious, so he was very eager to see her roast meat in person. However, his hopes were destined to be disappointed.
As long as Dongfang Hao was present, Luo Bingbing didn’t need to lift a finger to roast the meat. Shan Kefan watched Dongfang Hao roasting the meat and learned some basic cooking skills.
Seeing him learn, An Zimo also decided to give it a try out of curiosity. He discovered that roasting the meat using their method indeed produced much tastier results than their previous methods.
Consequently, his attitude towards Luo Bingbing and the others changed significantly.
The next morning at dawn, Luo Bingbing and her group quietly left while Shan Kefan and the others were still sound asleep. Of course, their deep slumber was related to Luo Bingbing and her group.
It turned out that when Luo Bingbing and her group got up, An Ruo Ran had sprinkled some sleeping powder on them, putting them into a deep sleep.
After leaving the cave, Luo Bingbing continued walking forward. Soon, she felt a sensation in her heart that told her the Spirit Orbs she was searching for were not far ahead.
So she followed that feeling and moved forward.
At this moment, the effects of the medicine on Shan Kefan and An Zimo had worn off, so they had both awakened. Looking around and finding no sign of Luo Bingbing and her group, they realized that they had already left.
An Zimo, known for his exceptional medical skills as a divine doctor, also had considerable knowledge of pharmaceuticals. He quickly identified the sleeping powder that had lost its potency.
Needless to say, he understood that the powder must have been sprinkled on them by Luo Bingbing and her group. Upon realizing this, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself: “They really are strange people. If they want to leave, just leave! Sprinkling sleeping powder on us is truly baffling!”
Shan Kefan naturally understood the intentions behind Luo Bingbing and the others' actions, so after waking up, he did not deliberately seek them out.
Soon after, they left the cave to search for what they were looking for.
However, after searching for a short while, they heard sounds of fighting not far away. Upon hearing the commotion, they assumed that Luo Bingbing and the others were in danger, so they quickly ran towards the source of the noise.
To their surprise, when they arrived, they found no sign of Luo Bingbing and the others; instead, they saw five unfamiliar strangers being attacked by a herd of elephants.
Seeing that it was strangers, they turned to leave. However, just as they turned around, those people ran towards them, followed closely by the herd of elephants.
This herd of elephants was enormous, consisting of over two hundred individuals, leaving them with no choice but to flee.
Shan Kefan and An Zimo noticed that the herd was closing in behind them and hurriedly ran forward. However, the martial skills of those people behind them were clearly superior; they quickly caught up and even surpassed them.
Gradually, the distance between the herd of elephants and them grew smaller, but they simply could not accelerate any further! With a desperate resolve, they suddenly stopped and stood still to await the arrival of the herd.
Just as they halted, a loud voice rang out beside them. "You two kids aren't running? Are you waiting to die?"
As soon as the words were spoken, an elderly man with white hair appeared behind them. Surprisingly, his face resembled that of a child.
Upon seeing the old man's face, both Shan Kefan and An Zimo couldn't help but think of the term "white hair and youthful face."
Indeed, this man was Heartless Elder, while the others were Elder Wujie and Shangguan Qingyun.
It turned out that after converting the power from the elixir into their own strength, they decided to search for Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing. However, after some time searching, they unexpectedly encountered the herd of elephants. Initially thinking that the herd would not attack them, they were taken by surprise when it suddenly charged at them, forcing them to flee for their lives.
They ran ahead, while the Herd of Elephants chased closely behind.
Shan Kefan looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Heartless Elder replied, "You really talk too much! Your life is on the line, and you still have the mind to ask this."
As he spoke, he pulled Shan Kefan and An Zimo forward. In the blink of an eye, they had left the Herd of Elephants far behind and directly reached Mu Xi and the others.
After all, he had saved their lives, so Shan Kefan and An Zimo immediately thanked the Heartless Elder and introduced themselves, although their identities were just those publicly known in the outside world.
Once Mu Xi and the others realized that the two before them were the renowned healer An Zimo and a family member of the martial arts alliance leader, they treated them with great courtesy.
However, just as they were chatting, the Herd of Elephants caught up from behind. Thus, their chase with the Herd of Elephants began anew.
After walking for a while, Luo Bingbing and the others felt an even stronger sensation. As they climbed to the top of the mountain, they saw a deep blue lake below.
The rippling waves sparkled under the brilliant sunlight, radiating dazzling light—a breathtaking sight.
As they admired this beautiful scene, a sudden loud noise erupted from the deep blue water.
With a splash, a giant golden python leaped out of the water. Its massive body stretched freely in the water, moving gracefully and proudly.
Upon seeing the golden python, Luo Bingbing immediately knew that the Spirit Orbs they were looking for were on it.
Dongfang Hao and An Ruo Ran could not help but exclaim upon seeing the giant python: "Earth Dragon."
"The ruler of the earth, calling forth winds and rain, thriving in water, with a yellow body and golden armor."
After hearing their words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain, thinking, "What Earth Dragon? It's clearly just a giant python!"
Dongfang Hao was naturally very excited to see this legendary "Earth Dragon" for the first time, and he unconsciously moved toward the lake at the foot of the mountain. Luo Bingbing did not stop him, as that was also where she intended to go.
As they walked down the mountain, Luo Bingbing casually glanced around at the surroundings. The flowers and grass were flourishing, and the branches were dense, yet there wasn't a single insect or spider in sight, not even a bird that should have been present in the forest.
There was a stillness, a deliberate stillness, accompanied by a hint of darkness that lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time.
Thinking of the phrase "creatures avoiding," Luo Bingbing couldn't help but frown slightly. Although she knew that giant pythons generally do not share their territory with other animals, it was quite rare to find no trace of any other creatures at such a distance.
Without needing to think further, Luo Bingbing understood that whatever was in the lake should not be underestimated; it was likely a formidable opponent.
As soon as they reached the lakeside, the giant python immediately locked its gaze on the five of them. Upon sensing the aura of Spirit Orbs emanating from Luo Bingbing, its focus completely shifted to her.
Feeling the venomous gaze fixed on her, Luo Bingbing felt extremely uncomfortable and immediately soared into the air, attacking the giant python in the lake.
The moment she moved, Dongfang Hao sprang into action as well, followed closely by An Ruo Ran and Shadowless.
Seeing its prey come willingly, the giant python couldn't help but feel delighted and immediately took a defensive stance.
Luo Bingbing flew directly toward the python's head, but before she could reach it, the python intercepted her. It opened its massive jaws wide, seemingly intending to swallow Luo Bingbing whole.
The giant python had a head as large as an ox, with most of its body submerged in the water. Its raised head had small eyes that were fixated on Luo Bingbing.
Seeing the enormous mouth suddenly appear before her, Luo Bingbing quickly dodged away. However, the golden giant python, which had already regarded her as a thorn in its side, immediately pursued her as soon as it saw her attempt to evade.
Dongfang Hao and Ye Feng stood at the four corners, witnessing the golden giant python chasing after the Little One. They immediately launched a fierce attack on the giant python in the center.
Sword energy sliced through the air as Dongfang Hao, Ye Feng, An Ruo Ran, and Shadowless joined forces, their four swords striking simultaneously at the golden giant python.
At that moment, Luo Bingbing, who had just dodged to the tail of the giant python, seized the opportunity and tightly gripped her dagger, swiftly stabbing towards the python's tail like lightning.
When Luo Bingbing's weapon collided with the python's body, instead of the expected splatter of blood, a series of clanging sounds echoed, and even Luo Bingbing was knocked back several steps.
Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, and a murderous aura filled the air.
Although the giant python was not injured, it felt pain, especially from Luo Bingbing's strike to its tail. Subsequently, the python violently swung its tail directly at Luo Bingbing.
Realizing the danger, Luo Bingbing quickly retreated. Although she moved swiftly, the seemingly clumsy golden giant python was not slow at all; its tail swept towards her back with a whoosh.
Feeling the imminent threat, Luo Bingbing instantly used her Ability to teleport away from that position.
The giant python, confused by missing its target but even more enraged, immediately turned its attention to Dongfang Hao and the others.
An Ruo Ran and her companions could not dodge in time and were swept into the water by the tail of the golden giant python. Upon seeing them fall into the water, Luo Bingbing quickly used her Ability to pull them back to shore.
Noticing that their clothes were soaked through, Luo Bingbing frowned slightly. To spare An Ruo Ran any embarrassment, she directly used her Ability to dry their clothes. Thus, when they reached the shore, their clothes were already dry.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
Hearing Luo Bingbing's question, everyone shook their heads in response. "We're fine."
After lightly nodding, Luo Bingbing said to Dongfang Hao, "If we want to win, we must come up with some effective strategies."
"Yes, dear, you are right." As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden idea struck Dongfang Hao's mind, and he immediately asked, "Dear, have you thought of a good plan?"
With a slight smile, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "Those who know me, know my husband too!"
Then Luo Bingbing shared the idea she had just thought of with everyone, and they all nodded in agreement.
While they were discussing how to capture the giant python, the golden-yellow giant python submerged into the water and quietly approached them from below, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
Just as they finalized their plan, the giant python suddenly emerged from the water and charged directly at An Ruo Ran, who was closest to it.
Seeing the giant python attacking her, An Ruo Ran immediately followed their previously discussed strategy and retreated to the grass behind her, luring the python onto the grass.
Needless to say, the others quickly sprang into action as well.
Looking at the giant python before her, which was over ten feet long, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brow. Realizing that its girth was over three meters, she felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but think to herself, "Damn it, how many years has this giant python lived? Its size is just too enormous!"
Suddenly, Dongfang Hao seized an opportunity and swiftly moved to the top of the giant python's head, thrusting his sword toward its eye.
With a hiss of pain, the python immediately let out a roar. It began thrashing around wildly in an attempt to shake off Dongfang Hao from its head.
However, Dongfang Hao firmly held onto the sword that had pierced the python's eye; no matter how much it thrashed about, he couldn't be shaken off.
The golden-yellow giant python, having lost one eye and unable to dislodge Dongfang Hao from its head, went into a frenzy.
A suffocating aura suddenly emanated from it.
It had ruled this place for so long, and no one had ever dared to bully it. Today, however, someone had managed to blind one of its eyes, driving it into a frenzy.
As it went wild, Luo Bingbing and the others found it even harder to attack. The giant python, noticing two large stones not far ahead, charged straight at them.
Dongfang Hao, seeing the large stones above him, didn't know how to evade and had no choice but to let go of his sword and slide down the python's body.
However, before he could land, the python's tail whipped around immediately. Ye Feng saw this and rushed to help, while Luo Bingbing aimed directly at the python's other eye in an attempt to divert its attention, hoping to allow Dongfang Hao to escape safely.
But the cunning giant python was not so easily fooled by Luo Bingbing's intentions. It continued to tightly coil around Dongfang Hao.
Seeing that this plan was ineffective, Luo Bingbing decided to use her Ability to rescue Dongfang Hao. However, strangely enough, at that moment, she found herself unable to activate her Ability.
Without a doubt, she knew that her inability was related to the golden giant python in front of her.
With her Ability unavailable, she had no choice but to revert to her previous method and fiercely attack the python's other eye. Due to the intensity of Luo Bingbing's assault, the python had no choice but to focus on her. At that moment, An Ruo Ran and the others seized the opportunity to rescue Dongfang Hao.
Just then, Elder Wujie and his group suddenly appeared. Upon seeing the giant python attacking Dongfang Hao and his companions, they quickly rushed over to assist.
It turned out that after being driven into the python's territory by a herd of elephants, they had dared not advance further. Seeing that the herd of elephants had stopped pursuing them left them both surprised and puzzled.
While they were silently wondering about this, they heard the sounds of fighting not far away and immediately headed toward the source of the noise.
Upon arrival, they saw Dongfang Hao and his group entangled with a giant python. Without hesitation, they rushed over to help.
With their addition, Dongfang Hao and the others quickly gained the upper hand. The giant python, under pressure from all sides, began to look for opportunities to strike down its opponents one by one.
First, it naturally targeted Shan Kefan and An Zimo. With a sweep of its long tail, it sent them flying far away.
The Heartless Elder saw that their bodies were about to crash into a nearby cliff and immediately rushed over to catch them, bringing them safely to the ground.
After the giant python broke through a gap, it quickly exited through that opening and began attacking others. However, its primary targets remained Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing, sweeping past everyone else without concern.
Unfortunately, Mu Xi and Shangguan Liuli were caught by its tail and were sent crashing backward.
Gradually, many of those injured by it fell to the ground, some even losing consciousness. Only Dongfang Hao, Luo Bingbing, Elder Wujie, and the Heartless Elder remained. At this point, the giant python's stamina had decreased significantly. Luo Bingbing seized the opportunity to stab it in the vital spot with her glowing dagger.
However, the stab was not deep enough; it merely broke the skin. In pain, the giant python coiled its tail around Luo Bingbing and then swam toward the lake, instantly diving beneath the surface and disappearing from sight.
Seeing this, Dongfang Hao and the others immediately pursued. However, none of them could swim. Once they entered the water, they felt as if they were suffocating before they could catch up with the giant python.
Thus, they had to surface for air. After taking a deep breath, Dongfang Hao submerged again in pursuit of the giant python.
Luo Bingbing suddenly found herself wrapped tightly by the python and tried to struggle free. The more she fought, the tighter it became until she was pulled underwater.
Soon after, the giant python had completely coiled around Luo Bingbing's body, tightening its grip. Unable to use her abilities or escape its control, she thought despairingly: Is this how I am destined to die?
At that moment, however, the Snow Spirit Fox in her arms suddenly bit down on the giant python's body. By sheer luck, it bit into a vital spot on the python's belly and punctured its snake gallbladder.
As soon as the gallbladder burst, the giant python instantly released Luo Bingbing. Its massive body then plummeted straight to the bottom of the lake.
"How bitter! How bitter!" the Snow Spirit Fox exclaimed, gulping down the lake water beside it, swallowing and then spitting it out.
Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile slightly at this, saying, "Silly little thing, of course the Snake Gallbladder is bitter."
Suddenly, Luo Bingbing noticed a faint glimmer near the giant python's vital point, so she immediately swam towards the source of the light.
Upon reaching there, she saw a shining pearl inside the giant python's Snake Gallbladder. Without a doubt, Luo Bingbing knew that this pearl was the Spirit Orb she had been searching for.
Just as she secured the Spirit Orb, she saw Dongfang Hao sinking down into the water, prompting her to swim over to him immediately.
As she swam, she muttered, "This fool, he can't even swim and yet he tries to be a hero."
When she reached Dongfang Hao's side, she quickly kissed his lips and began to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After a while, Dongfang Hao regained his breath and was astonished to find Luo Bingbing reviving him.
Luo Bingbing paid no attention to his expression and pulled him up to the surface. Spotting the Heartless Elder and Elder Wujie who had just submerged in the water, Luo Bingbing urged them to come ashore.
It turned out that earlier, Dongfang Hao had been searching for the giant python with them. However, when they surfaced for air, they went up first. Dongfang Hao then suddenly spotted the giant python in the water and swam towards it but lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen before he could reach it.
After bringing Dongfang Hao to shore, Luo Bingbing dove back into the water to drag the giant python's body onto land.
At this moment, An Ruo Ran and the others also began to regain consciousness. Seeing that the giant python had been dealt with, they immediately set about processing its body.
Once they had prepared some snake meat, Elder Wujie and Heartless Elder took the initiative to gather some dry wood nearby and asked Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing to roast meat for them.
Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao did not hesitate and started a fire to roast the meat. After all, after such a long battle, they were hungry too.
As the rich aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air, Mu Xi and Shangguan Liuli gradually woke up, feeling excited at the delicious scent of the barbecue.
After enjoying a hearty meal, everyone left together. However, after walking for a while, they parted ways since Shan Kefan had yet to find a suitable gift.
Before they separated, Luo Bingbing asked Shan Kefan to convey a message to Su Yan, assuring her that she would definitely attend the banquet when she celebrated her full moon.
On the other hand, Dongfang Hao and his group did not return to the Small Mountain Valley with Elder Wujie. Luo Bingbing stated that they still had unfinished business and did not have time to visit the Small Mountain Valley now; they would have to go another time.
Understanding their time constraints, Elder Wujie and his group did not insist on keeping them. However, this time, Mu Xi and Shangguan Liuli insisted on accompanying them. Elder Wujie and his group also hoped that Dongfang Hao would take Mu Xi and the others along for some practical experience. Thus, Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing had no choice but to agree to bring them along.
