Chapter 125: Chapter 124: The Serpent!
The cave was damp, with water gushing out. The massive body of the Ghost Giant Snail had been corroded to nothing but a sack of skin. It was a soft-bodied creature, its body turned into water, leaving only its long, thick tongue, about ten meters in length.
Guo Han, pinching his nose, fiddled within that skin sack twice, pulling out a bunch of broken bones, his face drastically changed as he said, "These bones, they couldn\'t be that kid\'s, could they?"
Sun Rui also squatted down, looking at the pile of broken bones. The Ghost Giant Snail had incredibly strong digestive abilities; anything it consumed would be digested almost in the blink of an eye, except the bones, which would take a bit longer to digest.
"These bones look a lot like human bones, this is bad."
Sun Rui\'s brows were deeply furrowed.
"Those are not his bones, they\'re from a Claw-tailed Monkey. Are you complete idiots? He surely found a chance to escape. Go around and look for him, quick!" Yuchi Shen shouted.

Not everyone was permitted to venture into the wilderness beyond the domain. Beyond human territories, there was a layer of defense intended to ward off desolate beast invasions, and aside from specific individuals, ordinary people were not allowed to leave the Jiuzhou territory.
If students from the elite schools wanted to go into the wilderness, they too had to be transported to the boundary before entering the wilderness, or like Yuchi Shen, set up a specific portal point.
All nine universities were located at the very outer edge of human territories, closest to the wilderness to facilitate training students in the wilderness.
"Son of a bitch, if my pre-designated student goes missing, I\'ll tear you to pieces!"
Elder Luo cursed as he ran towards his established portal point.
Originally, when Xiang Beifei was transported there, he thought there wouldn\'t be any major issues since, with the transport orb, Xiang Beifei could return even if he encountered danger.
However, once Xiang Beifei deviated from the range of the portal point, he became anxious, ignoring any impulse to blame Yuchi Shen, and immediately rushed into the external wilderness. .net
Just like Yuchi Shen, he normally set up several portal points in the low-risk areas around the external wilderness.
Though his portal points were far from Yuchi Shen\'s location, the wilderness outside the domain was vast. Even a relatively safer area like the Cultivated Domain was immensely vast.
He found the nearest portal point, but getting there still took an hour.
"Elder Luo, what should we do?"
Ye Changfeng also had his own set of portal points for training students, not far from Elder Luo\'s, so when he hurried over, he sensed Elder Luo\'s furious presence and quickly followed.
"What else can we do? Go find him and bring him back! He\'s just a novice, knows nothing! He didn\'t even bring any tools to deal with desolate beasts, and now he\'s strayed from the portal point... Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! When we get back, I\'m definitely going to hang that Yuchi Son of a bitch up and beat him!"
Elder Luo cursed angrily, yet his speed did not decrease.
The wilderness outside the domain was fraught with danger, potentially encountering various dangerous desolate beasts at any moment. If tangled up and unable to teleport back, Xiang Beifei, lacking the experience of Guo Han and Sun Rui, was in great danger.
Elder Luo had already placed all his Leisure Points into his speed, rapidly leaving Ye Changfeng far behind.
Ye Changfeng moved by sword flight; although not as fast as Elder Luo, he was still incredibly quick, leaving only a shadow in the air.

Xiang Beifei sat behind a rock, lost in thought.
He had already checked the area, even the ants the size of fists crawling under his feet were stomped to death by him.
The Flame Dragon Escape had brought him out, but he was unclear on the direction he was taken to, as it was random, potentially in any direction, although according to the distance of the escape, it should be about two hundred meters away from that cave.
However, to be safe, he ran further away, just in case he was caught up by that group of monkeys again.
He tapped the iron ring on his wrist, which seemed unresponsive.
Yuchi Shen hadn\'t provided him with any information about this assessment or how to return, but he noticed something unusual about the iron ring.
At the swampy area, the ring clearly flickered with fluctuations, but once he left the swamp, the ring\'s aura quieted down, becoming still.
This likely meant that the wrist iron ring needed to be in the swampy area to function, and then it could take him back.
"Forget it, first return to the swampy area to look for the Three Souls Desolate Snake."
Xiang Beifei decided to head back to the swampy area he had just left to see if the iron ring showed any sign of activity again.
He climbed a tree and looked around. The group of monkeys had chased him out of the swamp, and then the Flame Dragon Escape had carried him over two hundred meters away in a direction, leaving him clueless about his whereabouts.
Unfamiliar with the region, he needed to reorient himself to the swamp\'s direction.
"I remember there was a small hill just now, the Soft-bodied Monster was under that cave, meaning I came from that direction, and the Flame Dragon Escape took me to the back of the mountain."
