Watching the ever-increasing number of colorful venomous snakes crawling out from the crevices, Yun Qingxue felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through her heart…
At this moment, she truly understood the meaning of “when it rains, it pours”…
Before she could even deal with the swarm of black pythons, here came another horde of venomous snakes. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears left!
Just as Yun Qingxue was momentarily distracted by the sight of the snakes, the black pythons trapped in her vine net began showing signs of breaking free.
Her heart skipped a beat—she had worked so hard to trap these pythons. If they escaped now, recapturing them would be nearly impossible!
For the moment, she had no choice but to ignore the smaller venomous snakes crawling out. Yun Qingxue quickly manipulated the vines to weave another net, layering it over the original one.
“Grow!” As before, a faint green glow shimmered at her fingertips. With a single command, the thorns on the vines surged wildly, stabbing toward the trapped pythons.
“Ahahaha… You stupid girl, do you really think such petty tricks can hurt us?”
The black pythons trapped in the vine net mocked her with rough, disdainful voices, their massive dark bodies writhing relentlessly. Soon, the second vine net also began showing signs of tearing.
The ground was now densely covered with colorful venomous snakes. Meanwhile, the two pythons that had attacked Daise and avoided the net were also on the verge of breaking free from the vines Yun Qingxue had used to restrain them.
Their heads still gaped menacingly in Daise’s direction. If the vines holding them back snapped, Daise and Liuli would undoubtedly be devoured alive by those two pythons!
Beads of sweat rolled down Yun Qingxue’s forehead…
The situation was growing increasingly dire. She was barely keeping up, unsure which threat to prioritize next.
*Crack!* A snapping sound echoed—the vines restraining the two pythons lunging toward Daise were about to give way.
Several small, colorful venomous snakes slithered rapidly toward Daise.
Yun Qingxue’s heart clenched. Summoning her magic, she conjured two thick, arm-sized vines, coiling them tightly around the pythons’ bodies.
No sooner had she done this than the second net trapping the entire swarm of pythons began to tear apart.
At this point, weaving a third net to contain them was clearly out of the question.
With no other choice, Yun Qingxue steeled herself for a desperate fight. She swiftly gathered all her remaining magical energy, and a rich floral fragrance began to permeate the cave.
“She’s the Flower Monarch!” someone among the pythons shouted. The revelation sent the already frenzied pythons into a heightened state of excitement.
From the moment Yun Qingxue had entered their territory, they had sensed the dense spiritual energy radiating from her and plotted to devour her to enhance their own power.
But they had never imagined that this cunning girl was actually the Flower Monarch!
The overwhelming floral scent now filling the cave confirmed it—only the ruler of the floral clan could produce such a fragrance.
Under normal circumstances, a monarch of her stature should have been able to annihilate them effortlessly.
Yet, for some reason, this Flower Monarch’s power seemed only at the peak of the Perception Stage.
Devouring a Flower Monarch with an innate divine body would bring unimaginable benefits—especially one whose strength was still limited. How could they not be ecstatic?
Fueled by their excitement, the second net tore apart even faster. In moments, it would be completely destroyed.
*Hiss…* On the other side, Daise trembled as the small venomous snakes slithered toward her. Though she was a plant spirit who had attained sentience, her physical form was not immune to snake venom.
Some highly venomous snakes didn’t even need to bite—their very skin was toxic. Anything they crawled over would be corroded by their poison.
Daise didn’t know if these brightly colored snakes were that deadly, but their vivid hues and sinuous movements were enough to chill her to the bone.
And beyond these small snakes, the two massive pythons, jaws agape and straining toward her, made her shudder even more.
Given their frenzied state, her mistress’s vines wouldn’t hold them much longer.
Swallowing hard, Daise forced herself to stay silent. Her mistress was already battling an entire swarm of pythons—she couldn’t afford to distract her with even a sound.
*Snap!* The faint sound of breaking vines made Daise tremble as she watched the restraints on the two pythons begin to fail.
From this distance, she could almost smell the revolting stench of their gaping maws.
Then—suddenly—everything changed.
The venomous snakes slithering toward her halted just a few steps away, then swiftly turned, their heads now aimed at the two pythons struggling to break free and lunge at her.
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
In a flash, the small snakes shot like arrows straight into the pythons’ open mouths!
Simultaneously, several other snakes launched themselves into the mouths of the pythons thrashing in Yun Qingxue’s net.
The transformation was instantaneous. The pythons that had swallowed the snakes began convulsing in agony. Within minutes, they collapsed motionless to the ground.
A shower of flower petals rained down inside the cave, their vibrant hues glowing under the light of the night pearls.
The petals settled over the surviving pythons, soon blanketing the entire swarm.
Yun Qingxue had no time to process the bizarre turn of events with the venomous snakes. Focusing on the petal-covered pythons still struggling, she shouted, “Slice!”
Instantly, the petals clinging to the pythons’ bodies fluttered as if caught in a gust of wind—then, one by one, they drove themselves like blades between the scales of the serpents.
Delicate and beautiful moments ago, the petals now seemed forged of steel, piercing deep into the pythons’ flesh.
“You wretched girl! I’ll tear you apart today!” The battered and enraged pythons roared in fury.
The surviving serpents suddenly began to swell, their bodies inflating like balloons. The force of their expansion sent the embedded petals flying and shattered the two vine nets completely.
Yun Qingxue leaped back, landing beside Daise. The moment her feet touched the ground, a mouthful of blood spilled from her lips.
