Xue Fanxin was running for her life, not knowing where she was. There were only trees around her, and she could not tell direction at all.

“You two annoying big rats, I’ll skin you alive later.”

The earth-burrowing rats were also enraged. First, their companion was killed, and then, they were toyed around by a weak human. How could they not be angry?

Frenzied demonic beasts were the most terrifying. They did not have much intelligence to begin with, only relying on their natural savagery to do everything. Unless they really felt fear, they would continue to act recklessly.

Xue Fanxin was powerless to resist. She was being chased by the earth-burrowing rats into the deep mountains. Her clothes got torn by tree branches and rocks, and even her skin had been scratched in all kinds of ways. However, she did not have the time to care about these small injuries. She was running for her dear life.

These two earth-burrowing rats were different from the previous ones. They were more than twice as strong and knew simple spirit arts. They were not something ordinary low-level cultivators could deal with.

“Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, are you trying to kill me?” Xue Fanxin complained. She did not know her current location. She only knew that she had been running for a long time.

She suddenly realized that the rats had stopped chasing her. They stood rooted in their spots. The anger in their eyes had been replaced with panic. At this moment, they were trembling as they slowly retreated.

Xue Fanxin sensed that something was wrong and had a bad premonition. Not daring to run forward, she retreated in the direction of the earth-burrowing rats. She knew that the only way to be safe was to go that way.

Just as she took a step back, she seemed to have been tripped by something. Looking down, she realized that a small tree vine had wrapped around her foot. She bent down to shake it away. Unexpectedly, when her hand touched the tree vine, it actually moved…

The small tree vine wrapped around her ankle erupted with a powerful force, dragging her deeper into the forest.

“Ah…”

Ye Jiushang sensed her disappearance. His words sounded in the air. “Everyone, wait where you are.”

After Ye Jiushang left, the restrictions on everyone were removed. However, no one dared to act rashly. They all sat tight and waited.

Xue Batian was uneasy, but he did not know what to do. He asked Little Lei, “Little Lei, is Xin’er in danger?”

Little Lei still said with a carefree expression, “Grandpa Xue, don’t worry. With Master around, nothing will happen no matter how serious it is.”

However, looking at his master’s reaction, that woman seemed to have encountered something important.

There were at most Rank Five demonic beasts active in the Yunling Mountain Range. Master could casually blow on them and destroy all the demonic beasts, so there was no need to worry.

“Grandpa Xue, don’t worry. Come, eat meat. Gu Jinyuan’s cooking has gotten pretty good.”

Xue Batian was not in the mood to eat. Even though he knew that Ye Jiushang was powerful and would definitely bring his precious granddaughter back safely, he was still worried!
