After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 124 A Group of Bandits

As dawn approached and the fog gradually dissipated, the Hidden Serpent finally awoke.

The Hidden Yin Serpent groggily woke up, and the first thing it saw was Chu Wenqing's hateful face. It took a deep breath but hadn't said anything when it suddenly noticed something, and then froze, its eyes fixed on the boy.

Chu Wenqing was seen leaning casually against a fluorescent tree, eating fruit while reading a book.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the Thunderclap Sword Technique that it had accidentally lost?! Good heavens, so this brat picked it up!

The Hidden Yin Serpent's eyes were bloodshot with rage, so angry that it wanted to pounce on Chu Wenqing and devour him. However, the situation was unfavorable to it, and it had made a vow of inner demons not to act rashly against them!

So the Hidden Serpent could only grit its teeth and turn its head to look elsewhere, but as soon as it turned its head, it was stunned again.

Not far away, Feng Xiyue was sitting on the ground with a face full of excitement, constantly putting all kinds of spiritual herbs into a golden alchemy furnace, apparently preparing to refine pills.

Those spiritual herbs looked strangely familiar! Not sure, let me look again… Damn, weren't those the same herbs from its cave?! It's plundered them all! A bunch of robbers!!

The Hidden Serpent ground its teeth, thinking that out of sight, out of mind, it changed direction and looked in the other direction.

Song Qiao, sitting there, didn't have a strong presence. He just lowered his head and stroked a string, looking like he loved it.

The Hidden Serpent's eyes widened.

Good heavens! Isn't that its Xuanbing Silk?! These bandits have taken all its treasures!

All three people took it, so what about the last person...?

The Hidden Yin Serpent felt its brain buzzing, and it looked at Su Luo almost mechanically.

Su Luo was sitting in front of a boulder, concentrating on drawing talismans. Because the boulder was far from the fluorescent tree, she was worried that there wouldn't be enough light, so she even placed a demon-scorching stone next to it.

The pupils of the Hidden Snake are like an earthquake.

They even took the Demon-Scorching Stone embedded in the cave ceiling! Was it really necessary? Huh? Was it really necessary?! These bandits! They actually looted the entire cave!!

Just as Su Luo finished drawing a talisman and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt an undeniable gaze. Looking up, she met the venomous eyes of the Hidden Yin Serpent.

Su Luo raised an eyebrow dismissively. "Awake?"

As soon as she finished speaking, apart from Feng Xiyue who was still focused on refining pills, the other two also looked over, staring intently at the Hidden Yin Serpent.

Hidden Yin Snake: ...

I don't know why, but I always feel a chill on my body.

Su Luo slowly put away her talisman-drawing tools and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Now that you're awake, let's quickly tell each other about the situation in the other areas before the fog dissipates."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao quickly put away their things and pretended to listen attentively. Song Qiao even took out paper and pen to take notes.

"it is good……"

The Hidden Serpent reluctantly agreed, intending to move its body to speak properly, only to discover that it could not move at all, and was immediately terrified.

"Why can't I move?!"

"Oh... I almost forgot, you still have a talisman that can immobilize you."

Su Luo approached with a smile, peeled off the talisman from the Hidden Yin Serpent, and showed no embarrassment whatsoever. "I put a immobilization talisman on you to keep you from moving around too much during the teleportation. You won't blame me, will you?"

Hidden Shadow Snake Skin smiled insincerely: "Hehe, no wonder..."

It wanted to complain, but could it?! Could it?! So infuriating! It wanted to curse but didn't dare, so frustrating! Why was it so unlucky to run into these scoundrels?!

After the Hidden Serpent regained its mobility, the first thing it did was check the wounds on its body.

Because it couldn't come into contact with the mist, its wound hadn't fully healed overnight; it was still a bloody mess. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, and its spiritual energy was no longer dissipating. However… its cultivation level had definitely dropped a bit.

The Hidden Yin Serpent had a premonition that if it were injured again, its cultivation level would immediately drop from the Golden Core stage.

But it's okay, as long as it survives, it will have plenty of opportunities to recover in the future!

With this in mind, the Hidden Serpent regained its strength. It found a comfortable position and then slowly began to describe the situation in the other areas.

Su Luo and the other two listened quietly, interspersed with Chu Wenqing's occasional gasps.

Not long after, the Hidden Serpent indicated that it had finished speaking.

Su Luo didn't speak, but stared at it for a while. Suddenly, she took out a talisman that looked somewhat familiar to the Hidden Yin Snake, which startled it so much that it almost jumped up.

"You! How did you produce the Mind-Reading Talisman?! I! I wasn't lying!"

Could it be that she doesn't believe in it?! No way! If she really used the Mind-Reading Talisman, then it's useless against these people! This vicious woman will definitely kill it on the spot!

The Hidden Serpent was too terrified to notice that Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao, who were not far away, also looked tense.

However, Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao were mainly worried that Su Luo might overdo it. After all, what Su Luo possessed wasn't a genuine Mind-Reading Talisman; if the Hidden Yin Serpent discovered something amiss, their efforts would be in vain!

While she was deceiving the beast, Su Luo remained calm and composed. She gently stroked the talisman, subtly covering most of the patterns on the talisman with her fingers, feigning disbelief to frighten the Hidden Yin Serpent.

"Who told you to lie to us so many times? I feel like there's a trap in the information you just gave us, so I'll just use the Mind-Reading Talisman to take a look."

"No, no, no... I really didn't!"

The Hidden Yin Serpent retracted its claws, its body trembled, and it shook its head violently. "I... I can swear an oath to the Demonic Heart that everything I just said is true! I didn't lie, and I didn't deliberately leave out any information! This... this Mind-Reading Talisman is unnecessary..."

After saying that, the Hidden Yin Serpent quickly made a vow to its inner demons, fearing that if it hesitated even for a second, Su Luo would use a talisman on it.

"Since you've made a vow against your inner demons, I'll believe you and we won't need the Mind-Reading Talisman anymore."

Seeing this, Su Luo put away the Mind-Reading Talisman, while continuing her manipulative tactics, "Actually, you can't blame me, can you? Who told you to always lie to us before, or to hide things in your words and omit them in writing? I was scared of you, which is why I thought of using the Mind-Reading Talisman. Since you swore an oath, it means you didn't lie just now, which shows that you have improved! As the saying goes, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. You did very well, keep it up!"

The Hidden Yin Serpent was a little dizzy from Su Luo's long speech, but when it saw Su Luo put away the talisman, it understood that Su Luo's last sentence was praising it, so it laughed awkwardly, "Haha... I will."

Seeing that Hidden Yin Snake looked like he had been sold out without even realizing it, Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao stood to the side with expressionless faces.

Yes, they worried for nothing. As expected of Su Luo!

Because of the special materials, Feng Xiyue dared not waste them, so the pills she refined were normal pills, which increased her pill refining speed.

Not long after she successfully refined the elixir, the sky brightened and the fog dissipated completely. The four people and one beast prepared to set off to find the formation. Before leaving, Chu Wenqing did not forget to pull up all the fluorescent trees in the cave and then divide them equally among the four.

Looking at his bare cave, where not a single hair remained, and thinking about how all the treasures he had painstakingly collected had been taken away by these bandits, the Hidden Serpent's blood pressure soared.

But then it remembered that the group would be facing the Bauhinia Poison Vine later, and a sinister glint flashed in its eyes.

It did make a vow against its own evil, and it truly couldn't harm these people, but! If they were killed by the Bauhinia Poison Vine, it wouldn't be its fault!

Su Luo and her group hurried along. As they passed an open area, a buzzing sound suddenly filled the air, followed by a flash of white light, which startled the group and the beast, causing them to instinctively close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the scenery before them remained unchanged.

Feng Xiyue rubbed her eyes. "Huh? What just happened?"

Song Qiao shook his head. "I don't know."

Su Luo felt that something was wrong, but when she looked around, the place seemed quiet and there was nothing wrong. She also glanced at the others but didn't notice anything amiss.

Suddenly she paused, abruptly turning her head to look at the group, her eyes instantly turning icy. "Where's Chu Wenqing?"

Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed drastically.
