But could there be such a coincidence?

Zhuge Heping shook his head helplessly and turned to walk towards his tent.

The sand under his feet made a rustling sound, as if accompanying his complicated mood at the moment.

When he reached the tent, he looked back at Chu Hao's tent again. It was quiet inside, without a single movement.

Zhuge Heping gritted his teeth, opened the tent curtain and went in.

He knew that Chu Hao must be hiding many unknown secrets, and these secrets might be closely related to the challenges they were about to face.

But now, he could only bury these questions in his heart temporarily and wait for the right time to explore them.

Zhuge Heping lay down, pulled the quilt over himself, stared at the ceiling of the tent, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

On the other side, Chu Tingting, wearing a black suit, stood tall and alone in the pit.

The air around was a mixture of decay and dampness, mixed with wisps of rust-like stench, as if it was the mottled traces left by time here.

Suddenly, a spine-chilling rustling sound came from the bottomless darkness.

Chu Tingting instantly became alert, her eyes shining like stars in the cold night, fixed closely on the source of the sound.

A terrifying centipede monster was facing Chu Tingting and slowly crawled out from the shadows.

Its body is as tall as two people, and its surface flickers with a cold light under the dim moonlight. The texture on its hard shell looks like ancient mysterious curse runes, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

The densely packed long legs rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound that made people's scalps tingle. Every step seemed to be stepping heavily on people's hearts.

The centipede monster launched the first attack. It was as fast as lightning and instantly shot towards Chu Tingting, leaving only a blurry afterimage in the air.

Chu Tingting frowned slightly, but her eyes were firm and steady. Not only did she not retreat, but she rushed towards the centipede monster swiftly.

Just when the two were about to collide, Chu Tingting quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her body. Her movements were smooth and flowing, and she muttered something. Although her voice was not loud, it seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power.

In an instant, the Qi around her body surged violently like an awakened beast.

The Qi that was originally invisible to the naked eye quickly gathered under her control, condensing into a crystal clear shield in front of her body, just like flowing glass, emitting warm blue light.

This shield looks fragile, but it actually contains powerful defensive power.

The centipede monster slammed into the shield hard, making a dull thud that caused ripples in the surrounding air.

Its hard shell rubbed against the shield violently, splashing large pieces of crystal water. Under the moonlight, it looked like tiny crystals flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the moment when the centipede monster was blocked, Chu Tingting gracefully waved her jade hand in the air, and the shield seemed to be given life, instantly turning into countless sharp blades, with a whistling wind, shooting towards the centipede monster like a rain of pear blossoms.

The centipede monster reacts extremely quickly, its body is like a nimble long snake, twisting and dodging quickly.

Most of the sharp blades just grazed past it, and only a few hit it accurately, leaving shallow scratches on its hard shell, making crisp tinkling sounds, just like the collision of metal.

The first attack missed, but Chu Tingting's expression did not change. However, she knew in her heart that the strength of this centipede monster should not be underestimated, and she had to use some skill.

The centipede monster was completely enraged. Its bloody mouth suddenly opened and a stream of dark green venom spurted out like a raging fountain.

The venom quickly spread in the air, turning into a huge poisonous net, emitting a pungent stench, and covering Chu Tingting's head.

Seeing this, Chu Tingting let out a delicate cry, tapped the ground lightly with her feet, and flew backwards at a rapid speed like an arrow.

At the same time, she waved her hands quickly in front of her body, and the Qi around her responded crazily.

In the blink of an eye, a majestic dragon took shape in her palm.

This giant dragon was transformed from Qi and was lifelike. It roared towards the sky and rushed towards the venom with great momentum.

The dragon and the venom collided violently in the air, making a hissing sound, as if the two forces were fighting a life-and-death duel.

The venom was blown into pieces by the dragon's powerful impact, turning into puddles of foul-smelling liquid that fell to the ground with a crackling sound, instantly corroding the ground and emitting wisps of green smoke.

Chu Tingting didn't give the centipede monster any chance to breathe, and once again used all her strength to mobilize the Qi around her body.

I saw the Qi under her feet spinning rapidly, forming a huge vortex.

The suction force in the center of the vortex is extremely strong, and the surrounding sand, rocks and debris are all drawn into it.

With the help of this powerful force, Chu Tingting leaped high like a rocket and spun rapidly in the air.

As she danced, the surrounding Qi was drawn up, forming a huge tornado, like a dragon from the abyss, carrying the power to destroy the world, and pressing down on the centipede monster from top to bottom.

The centipede monster felt the fatal threat and struggled desperately to escape.

Its many legs frantically paddled on the ground, trying to escape the powerful suction of the tornado, but it was all in vain. The power of the tornado was like a tidal wave, tightly binding it.

The tornado wrapped around the centipede monster, spinning and tearing it apart crazily. The centipede monster let out a series of shrill cries, and the sound echoed in the night sky, making people shudder.

Its many legs waved wildly in the tornado, trying to grab anything to hold on to, but it came up empty-handed every time.

"It's already like this, but you still won't spit it out?"

"As long as you spit out Qin Jiaojiao, I can let you go tonight. It's up to you whether you want to live or die."

The centipede monster was beaten back step by step by Chu Tingting, and its heart was full of unwillingness and resentment. Its green bean-sized eyes flashed with resentment, and it glared at Chu Tingting fiercely.

This glance seemed to engrave Chu Tingting's appearance into his bones, leaving it for revenge in the future.

At this moment, it felt that Qin Jiaojiao in its stomach seemed to no longer struggle or move, and a thought suddenly flashed through its mind.

This human woman, Qin Jiaojiao, is not very big in size, but she has enough food and drink to last for several days.

The situation is clearly not in his favor now. Chu Tingting's Qi attacks are fierce and continuous. If he continues to fight, he might lose his life.

Thinking of this, the centipede monster no longer hesitated and decided to use the thirty-six strategies - running away is the best one.

It gathered all its strength into each of its long legs. Those legs, which were originally trembling slightly due to injuries, suddenly burst out with astonishing power.

The ground was scratched with deep grooves by its long legs. With a sharp creaking sound, the centipede monster fled madly into the depths of darkness like a black cannonball.

While fleeing, its body twisted and swayed like waves, using extremely strange movements to avoid possible pursuit from Chu Tingting.

Although its body was covered with scars and dark green blood continued to seep out of the wounds, leaving a shocking trail of blood behind it, its desire to survive made it forget the pain.

It had only one goal in mind, which was to escape from this place where it nearly died as soon as possible, take Qin Jiaojiao to a safe place, and slowly enjoy this delicious meal. Qin Jiaojiao, trapped in the centipede monster's stomach, was like a lonely boat drifting in the stormy waves, being manipulated by external forces at will.

In the battle between Chu Tingting and the centipede monster, the impact of every confrontation was transmitted unreservedly to the small space where Qin Jiaojiao was.

She felt as if she was on an out-of-control roller coaster, her body being tossed around in the darkness by powerful forces.

This overwhelming ordeal made her internal organs seem dislocated and her stomach churned.

Qin Jiaojiao had no time to react. Her throat suddenly tightened and the food she had eaten at noon came out instantly.

The first thing she vomited out was the rice that had not been fully digested. Each grain was full, but now it had been soaked in stomach acid and turned yellow, mixed with traces of transparent gastric juice, and fell in front of her in small amounts.

Next came a few strands of green leaves, whose original fresh color had disappeared, becoming wilted and broken by stomach acid, with a disgusting sour smell.

Then, several pieces of unchewed meat residue came out. They were of different sizes and shapes, with some fuzzy textures on the edges, and they stuck greasy to the other vomit.

Following a violent retching, gastric acid gushed out all at once. It was an almost transparent but light yellow liquid with a pungent sour smell that instantly spread in the small space.

The filth splashed on Qin Jiaojiao's clothes and arms. She was shocked and scared, but unable to escape this nightmarish situation.

In this extremely harsh environment, Qin Jiaojiao was filled with fear and despair.

Qin Jiaojiao always felt that she vaguely heard Chu Tingting's voice.

Qin Jiaojiao had no time to feel disgusted with herself and could only pray in her heart that she was not hallucinating.

And facing the sudden transformation of the centipede, Qin Jiaojiao became more certain of this answer.

At this moment, she had no time to complain as usual. She just hoped that Chu Tingting could defeat the centipede monster as soon as possible and rescue her from this terrible cage.

Seeing that the centipede monster refused to repent, Chu Tingting shook her head and sighed softly.

With Chu Tingting's clear shout, the power of the tornado reached its peak.

With a loud bang, the centipede monster was smashed heavily to the ground, creating a large hole several meters deep in the ground.

For a moment, dust flew all over the sky and gravel splashed everywhere. Chu Tingting landed lightly and stood steadily not far from the pit.

She stared at the bottom of the pit vigilantly, with Qi still condensed in her hands, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

I saw the centipede monster lying at the bottom of the pit, dying, its huge body already in tatters.

The shell was cracked in many places, and dark green blood flowed out, mixing with the sewage on the ground, emitting a disgusting smell.

Its many legs twitched weakly, and after a few slight tremors, it became completely motionless.

Chu Tingting let out a long sigh, she raised her hand and gently cut open the centipede monster's belly.

Chu Tingting quickly formed seals with her hands, condensing the Qi in her body into her fingertips, and instantly transformed it into a sharp Qi blade like a crescent moon.

Her eyes flashed like lightning, and with a delicate cry, she threw the Qi blade fiercely.

The Qi blade, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed across the centipede monster's abdomen with incredible precision.

There was a hissing sound, as if tearing a tattered cloth, and the hard shell of the centipede monster was easily cut open with a long cut.

Thick dark green blood with a foul smell gushed out from the wound, mixed with some sticky pieces of internal organs.

Qin Jiaojiao, who was trapped in the centipede monster's stomach, was instantly exposed to the air as the hole appeared.

She was in a terrible state, with her messy hair sticking to her stained face and her body covered in disgusting mucus and filth.

Qin Jiaojiao rolled and crawled out of the centipede monster's stomach. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she kicked the centipede monster's head fiercely, cursing viciously: "You disgusting thing, don't you see who I am? You dare to swallow me into your stomach. You deserve this!"

At this time, Chu Tingting collected her Qi, walked to Qin Jiaojiao and asked, "Why did you come to such a dangerous place alone?"

Qin Jiaojiao's eyes dodged when she heard this. She tugged at the corner of her clothes unnaturally with both hands and replied evasively, "I just... accidentally came out for a stroll. Who knew I'd run into this unlucky thing."

Of course Qin Jiaojiao wouldn't say that she wanted to follow Ding Peng out to catch the adulterer...

Before coming to Youyou Mountain, everyone was repeatedly reminded that if they wanted to go out, they must be with no less than two people and they must not go far without reporting.

When Chu Tingting saw Qin Jiaojiao's appearance, she already knew that she was hiding something.

But Chu Tingting had no intention of delving further into the matter of Qin Jiaojiao and the others.

She just sighed softly, looked at the centipede monster again, and after confirming that it was no longer breathing, she turned around and prepared to leave, leaving Qin Jiaojiao standing there alone.

Chu Tingting turned around and slowly disappeared into the night.

Qin Jiaojiao followed Chu Tingting with fear and relief, still complaining about Ding Peng in her heart.

The devastated battlefield just now silently witnessed the thrilling and fierce battle just now.

The next day, the sun rose and the golden light gently sprinkled on the quiet mountains.

After last night's fierce battle, the forest finally returned to peace. The dust that filled the centipede monster's pit slowly settled, but the traces of the brutal battle were still clearly visible.

Zhuge Heping stood beside the huge corpse of the centipede monster, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"This centipede monster is so powerful that it is extremely difficult to kill it." He whispered to himself, his words expressing his feelings about the hardships of the battle and his admiration for the victor.

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Hao beside him calmly.

Chu Hao stood there quietly with a calm expression.

Zhuge Heping was curious about what kind of inner emotions Chu Hao would feel when facing the corpse of the centipede monster. After all, Chu Hao's reaction might reveal key information.

Zhuge Heping slightly turned sideways and pretended to continue observing Chu Hao casually.

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes, staring at the fatal wound on the centipede monster's body, and remained silent.

Zhuge Heping secretly wondered in his heart, was Chu Hao thinking about the details of this battle, or was he worried about the troubles that might arise later?

He knew very well that Chu Hao should be a meticulous person who would not reveal his true feelings easily, but he still hoped to catch some useful clues from Chu Hao's subtle reactions.

"Brother Chu Hao, do you think this matter is a little weird?" Zhuge Heping decided to test it out and deliberately asked this ambiguous question, staring at Chu Hao closely, not missing any change in expression on his face.

Unlike him, Chu Hao just shook his head. (End of this chapter)
