Cultivation: Starting with a Dao Companion, My Descendants Prosper

The purple sunburn stuck to the body of the Cloudwater Black Serpent immediately ignited.

The Cloudwater Black Serpent let out a miserable cry, rolling on the ground, crushing nearby rocks and breaking flowers and trees.

However, no matter how it rolled, it couldn't get rid of the sunburn, like a festering sore.

Even the smell of roasted meat appeared in the air, and oil bubbles were popping on its body.

"Your move worked, it seems that this Cloudwater Black Serpent is not as powerful as its master claimed!"

Zou Zhihe saw that the Cloudwater Black Serpent was temporarily suppressed and felt instantly relieved!

Soon, Ye Tian poured a bucket of cold water on her.

"Don't be too happy, this sunburn can't cause substantial damage to it.

And, it will soon come up with a solution..."

Zou Zhihe saw that Ye Tian was not joking, and fear once again occupied her heart.

Soon, the Black Serpent curled up into a ball.

Suddenly, its body turned into a stone state, and the flames on its body extinguished in an instant.

"Look, it has escaped from the sunburn!"

Ye Tian's expression became serious again.

A white light flashed across the Cloudwater Black Serpent, and in the next second, it regained its physical form.

The Black Serpent extended its triangular head, revealing its sharp fangs, and its red snake tongue kept sucking in the air...

"It's about to launch an attack, run!"

Before the words fell, the pressure of a true third-grade middle-rank monster was released.

The suppression of rank finally manifested.

Even Ye Tian, who possessed super-strong combat ability beyond his level, was completely suppressed by its momentum.

"It's terrifying! Is this the berserk state of a third-grade middle-rank monster?

So horrifying!"

Zou Zhihe had never seen such a scene before, and as a cultivator at the half-step Gold Core stage, she actually hid behind Ye Tian!

However, this was just the prelude. The Cloudwater Black Serpent flexibly twisted its body and began to attack Ye Tian and Zou Zhihe with its mortal flesh.

"Run!"

A blood-filled mouth rushed towards them, but Ye Tian swiftly dodged and flew behind its head, giving it a sword strike, but it was like hitting a stone.

"Such strong defense!"

After Ye Tian's reminder, Zou Zhihe quickly evaded as well.

"[Ice Spike Heaven Piercer], activate!"

Zou Zhihe took out a blue spiritual talisman from her storage bag and quickly released its energy.

"A third-grade lower-rank spiritual talisman, although it can't kill you, it won't make things easy for you either!"

This talisman instantly drained half of her spiritual power, leaving Zou Zhihe somewhat exhausted.

The Cloudwater Black Serpent was not a fool and instantly realized that this talisman was not ordinary.

Just as countless ice spikes flew towards it, the Cloudwater Black Serpent spat out black water again.

But this time, the black water was slightly different, as it immediately turned into a water wall upon being expelled.

The ice spikes pierced into the water wall, greatly reducing their power.

Then, the Cloudwater Black Serpent opened its mouth and released a crescent-shaped lightning, hitting the weakened ice spikes.

Under the double attack, even the third-grade lower-rank spiritual talisman lost its attacking power.

All the ice spikes shattered into fragments.

After dealing with all of this, the Cloudwater Black Serpent became even more furious.

These two insignificant ants continuously challenged its authority, which was truly infuriating.

Its tightly closed mouth suddenly opened, revealing two sharp fangs.

Two green venomous liquids sprayed towards Ye Tian and Zou Zhihe, quickly turning into mist.

The two of them didn't have time to dodge, and the poisonous mist was about to corrode their bodies.

Ye Tian took out a dozen second-grade middle-rank defense talismans from his storage bag and activated them all in an instant.

"Quick! Hide behind me!"

Unfortunately, almost all of Ye Tian's defensive spiritual talismans that had drained his spiritual power were unable to withstand the venomous fangs of the Cloudwater Profound Snake and were breached!

"No!"

Zou Zhihe, who was hiding behind Ye Tian, could only watch as the dense mist transformed into a python, about to devour Ye Tian completely.

At this stage, Zou Zhihe couldn't care about anything else.

She extended two fingers from her right hand and quickly struck her own acupoints.

Then, she took out an ancient bowl-shaped container from her storage bag. It was entirely made of ancient bronze and looked quite old, probably just obtained from a secret realm.

She spat a mouthful of blood onto this treasure...

Finally, she clasped her hands together and silently recited an incantation.

"Mystic Art - [Control]! Activate!"

Something magical happened. The treasure, nourished by her essence blood, emitted a dazzling purple light, rejuvenating itself.

"Vajra Bowl, go!"

The Vajra Bowl in Zou Zhihe's mouth rapidly expanded, completely enveloping the two of them and temporarily isolating the green poisonous mist.

However, using a mystic art to forcefully control an unrefined Law Weapon with one's essence blood would cause serious harm to her body.

Indeed, blood was already seeping from the corners of her mouth.

In times of adversity, true feelings are revealed. The two people who had just been fighting each other had now become intimate comrades.

"Ye Tian, how are you?"

Zou Zhihe anxiously checked Ye Tian's condition. She had seen the poisonous mist already corroding him...

Could it be that he had already been poisoned to the bone...

She didn't dare to speculate in a negative direction.

After a fierce battle, she had let go of her grievances. Now, all she wanted was for Ye Tian to stand with her and fight side by side.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Tian turned his head, and the cold sweat on his body had already soaked through his clothes.

"That's great!"

Upon hearing Ye Tian's reply, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"But just now, it seemed like the poisonous mist touched you. Are you really okay?"

She was a bit worried and grabbed Ye Tian's wrist to examine him.

"I'm really fine. If it weren't for your defensive treasure activating, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot!"

Ye Tian covered his chest and expressed his gratitude.

However, he was staring at his system panel.

[Invincible Shield: 90% of the energy remaining!

This item is about to disappear...]

"What should we do next? I can't hold on for much longer! Maybe I can only maintain it for two more minutes!"

With a large amount of spiritual power consumed and a pale complexion, Zou Zhihe spoke weakly.

Ye Tian quickly took out the spiritual liquid from the Wooden Gourd for Refining Demons. After a few mouthfuls, both of them felt refreshed and invigorated.

"What kind of treasure is this? My depleted dantian has actually been replenished!"

Zou Zhihe widened her eyes, extremely shocked.

"Now we need to think about how to escape from this predicament!"

Ye Tian glanced at her, deep in thought.

"What can we do? We have no reinforcements! Unless... unless we instantly break through the Gold Core stage!"

"But, that's impossible..."

It was all just wishful thinking. She sighed deeply.

"I have a way... but it requires some... sacrifices."

Ye Tian looked at the despondent Zou Zhihe and hesitated to speak.
