Just as Qiao and Chui Mei were both walking out of the secret room, a loud noise came from the secret room, causing the two of them to stop in their tracks.
"What is that sound?" Qiao still knitted his brows as he looked at Chimei in front of him.
"Be careful!" While Qiao Qiao was still looking around suspiciously, Chimei shouted loudly at her before leaping up and landing behind him. She then moved her arm forward to block him, and with a "Hiss ~", her sleeve fell off.
"Chimei!" Qiao Qiao shouted out in panic, only to see a giant python in front of Chimei with its mouth wide open, its body curling up, and its blood-red eyes looking in the direction of Chimei and Joe.
"What is this!" Qiao Qiao's body still trembled, and with one hand holding the injured Chimei, he slowly stepped back.
"You go first!" Chimei pulled out the long sword at her waist, placing it in front of Qiao still, and shouted softly without turning her head back.
"No!" You are injured, but you cannot defeat it! " Qiao Qiao still looked at the giant python's greedy eyes that were filled with hunger. She could not help but look around.
"There's no need to look. This secret chamber is extremely sealed. You won't be able to hear anything that happens inside." Chimei realized that Qiao Qiao's thoughts were still in her mind, so she spoke on her own.
"Hurry up and go! If you don't leave now, none of us will be able to escape!" Chimei continued to shout harshly at Joe.
"Hss ~" The python seemed to be able to understand human speech. Its ferocious gaze landed on Qiao yet again, spitting out a scarlet tongue from its bloody mouth.
"Chimei, this python doesn't seem to be able to see a person." Qiao Qiao still lowered his voice and whispered into the ear of Chimei.
Chimei's brows tightened, he extended his sword and waved it in front of the python's eyes.
"Let me try." Joe bent down and saw that a bottle of medicine had been thrown at the stone wall behind the python.
Accompanying the sound of the bottle hitting the wall, the vicious python immediately flipped over and swung its huge tail towards the stone wall.
"Hisssssssssssss." When it hit the stone wall, it couldn't help but to let out a light groan. Perhaps it was in pain from the collision, but it still stuck close to the wall and didn't move.
"It really can't see!" Qiao Qiao shouted with excitement.
"Shh ~!" Chimei wanted to cover Joe's mouth with her hands, but it was already too late. The giant python flicked its tongue at the source of the sound and came curving over.
Chimei held onto Joe's arm with one hand and leaped up, dodging the python's chase.
Qiao still had an apologetic look on his face as he stuck out his tongue. He then lowered his own decibels, "Now that this python is blocking our way out of the secret room, what should we do?"
"Do you dare to risk your life?" Chimei looked up at Joe.
"You dare!" Qiao Qiao still nodded with a resolute expression.
"You woman, what do you not dare to do?" Chimei covered her injured arm with one hand and muttered softly with her mouth.
Qiao Qiao still shot a glance at the grumbling Chimes and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This fellow thought that he could speak out and teach her a lesson just because he saved her? After exiting the secret room, she was determined to let this guy have a good memory!
"Let's go!" With one hand, devils grabbed Qiao yet again, and carefully walked in the direction of the giant python.
Besides the two's light breathing, the two of them did not dare make any sound. Seeing that they were getting closer to the giant python, Qiao Qiao's mind was still tense. Even his feet could not help but float up lightly.
However, the more careful he was, the more unexpected things would happen. He didn't know what Qiao Qiao's foot stepped on, but with a creaking sound, the giant python became spirited and it opened its bloody mouth wide to attack the top of Qiao Qiao's head.
Ah!" With the blood-red tongue and a mouth full of mucus, Qiao Qiao still shouted in alarm. He shook off Chimei's hand and ran in the direction of the door to the secret room.
When the giant python heard this noise, it swung its heavy tail and chased after Qiao Qiao.
"Joe still!" With a loud scream, she ignored the injuries on her arm, picked up her long sword and pierced it towards the giant python's back.
The giant python let out an extremely painful roar from behind Joe, Qiao still turned his head to look, only to see Chimei holding a sword, standing upright on the giant python's back, the sword had pierced through the giant python's body, blood flowing all over the ground.
The python's body was penetrated and it was in unbearable pain. It was frightened once again and its tail curled up as it tightly wrapped around Qi Mei.
With a face filled with pain, the longsword in her hand fell to the ground.
Qiao Qiao's brows were still knit together and he immediately went forward. Picking up the sword from the ground, he fiercely stabbed at the giant python's huge body.
One slash …
Two swords …
Three swords...
Beads of sweat covered Qiao Qiao's forehead. His pale cheeks and hands gripping the hilt of his sword had long since been dyed red by the python's fresh blood.
The giant python suddenly let out a loud roar and swept its tail.
"BOOM!" With a "peng" sound, devils and spirits fell to the ground, Qiao Qiao immediately threw out the long sword in his hand, and ran madly towards devils and spirits.
"Chimei!" Qiao Qiao was still in shock, only to see Chimei's face turning purple, her body becoming powerless, her limbs going limp, she kept shaking him, and for a moment, her tears fell like rain, "Chimei, wake up!"
The python's body had lost all of its strength. With a "peng" sound, its huge body fell heavily onto the ground, falling into a pool of blood.
Qiao's hands were still stained with blood, he continuously shook devils and spirits, and sighed: "Chimei! "Chimei!"
"Cough cough …" Chimei coughed lightly as she breathed out. Her green and purple face slowly faded and was covered in a layer of weak white light. "Stop swaying, if you keep swaying, you're really dead."
Qiao Qiao still looked at Chimei and thought that she was still in the mood to joke. He broke out into a laugh, but his face was still filled with tears.
"Alright, I said that I will take you out without anyone noticing. If I die, wouldn't you be in trouble?" After that, she staggered to her feet and held her chest with one hand. She let out a long breath and straightened her body.
"Can you?" Qiao Qiao asked with a worried expression.
"Don't worry." After which, she lifted her foot and walked past the python, stumbling as she headed towards the door of the secret room.
Qiao Qiao still had a face full of worry, but he still followed closely behind, wiping away the blood that stained his entire body, pressing his head down to the lowest point, then following behind Chimei as he walked out.
"Lord Chimei." The guards at the door had probably changed.
"Right." If not for the fact that Qiao Qiao still had her own thoughts, she would have been so stiff that her mouth was heavy and forceful. She would not have imagined that this person had almost lost his life in this secret room.
"This is …" The guard saw that Joe was still there, dimly lit, and though it was impossible to see that she was covered in blood, it was also clear that she was trembling slightly.
"These are the guards who just entered. Just as they entered the secret room to check if there's anything abnormal, I coincidentally met them and checked them together." Chimei did not even turn his head as he spoke with a clear and resonant voice.
"So that's how it is." The guards at the door bowed slightly and all retreated, leaving a path open for them.
Chimei did not speak, but stood with his hands behind his back, minding his own business as he walked forward.
Qiao still followed closely, his head lowered as he followed Chimei.
"Pfft ~!" He had only left the secret room a hundred steps ago, when he suddenly couldn't stop himself from spitting out blood and falling backwards.
"Chimei!" Qiao Qiao shouted out loud and turned his head to look. He saw that the two of them were at a corner between the secret room and the training field. The night was dark and there was not much human smoke.
"Are you alright?" Joe still held on to her, hidden in the darkness.
"I'm fine." Chimei shook her head.
"Where is your room? I'll take you back." Qiao still frowned and helped Chimei to get up.
Chimei stretched out her hand and pointed forward, but she no longer had the strength to speak.
Qiao still followed the direction that the finger was pointing at, supporting her as they slowly walked forward.
Along the way, the two of them were very careful and avoided the heavy patrolling guards. In the end, they arrived at the inner courtyard that devils and devils resided in.
Joe was no longer in the mood to look at his surroundings. He was only determined to place the evil spirits inside the house.
"Be careful!" Qiao Qiao still carefully reminded, and then slowly helped Chimei to sit on the bed.
"Have some water." Qiao still held up the teacup in front of the table and handed it to Chimei.
Qi Mei took the teacup and said weakly, "Throw me in the yard."
"What?" Joe still turned his head in surprise.
"Throw me out in the courtyard." After that, she panted heavily and said weakly, "Today's secret chamber has become like that, there's no way your esteemed self could not know. If we were to investigate it, I will say that there were thieves, and they escaped after injuring me."
"But …" Qiao Qiao was still looking at the miserable state that Chimei was in and suddenly felt troubled.
"You also don't want me to not dare to go to the demonic doctor for treatment right?" "This is the only way to achieve both ends of the spectrum. Not only will it protect your identity from being exposed, it will also allow me to find the demonic doctor to treat you in broad daylight."
"Then …" Joe paused. "All right." She hardened her heart and helped up the bed, then she headed into the inner courtyard.
Hurry back to Pear Blossom Academy. When you're almost gone, I'll call for people to come, and when the time comes, everyone will gather in my courtyard. Naturally, I'll relax a lot when it comes to the secret room. Chimei said worriedly to Qiao Qiao.
"Alright, I understand. You must be careful." Qiao Qiao's eyes were still filled with worry as he spoke.
"Right." After which, she sat paralyzed in the middle of the courtyard.
Qiao Qiao quickly turned around and headed in the direction of the Pear Blossom Academy.
As expected, when Qiao Qiao still stepped into Pear Blossom Academy, the entire Devil Palace was brightly lit. The inner and outer guards frantically searched in all directions, and a large number of people rushed towards the direction of the inner courtyard.
Qiao Qiao went back to his room to explain to Qingwu. He washed away the bloodstains and changed into a set of clothes. Then, he laid down on his bed and closed his eyes to rest.
