In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.
After a massive scream, the giant demonic beast flipped mid-air and fell to the ground not far from the cave entrance. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on Liu Ming, who had thwarted its attack, emitting bizarre, shrieking noises. At the same time, numerous poison sacs of various sizes bulged on its back, presenting a terrifying sight.
Yet Liu Ming's figure flickered once more, and soon he stood shoulder to shoulder with the burly man.
"Thank you," the burly man said without another word. He casually flipped out an antidote pill, swallowed it, and then slapped a talisman on his wound. After that, he stood motionless, staring at the giant toad-like demonic beast in front of him.
"Taoist Friend Liu, you deal with the other demonic beasts around us. Leave this big one to me," Liu Ming narrowed his eyes at the giant toad-like demonic beast and spoke slowly.
