Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 187

As soon as Chen Er brought Ren Qingyue to the location, she immediately withdrew.

She was self-aware of her own abilities, so she showed no intention of offering help.

Ren Qingyue didn't hold any expectations of her; not causing trouble was already the greatest help she could offer.

After Chen Er stepped back, Ren Qingyue surveyed her surroundings, taking in the environment.

At this moment, she found herself in a valley with relatively low terrain. To her left, the cliff wall was steep, revealing large patches of gray-white rock, while a snow-covered cave could be vaguely seen within the cliff.

The cave's terrain was certainly not suitable for combat; she needed to lure the ice rock serpent to a more open area to better leverage her own advantages.

Ren Qingyue's mind raced, formulating a strategy. She quickly took out some sulfur to repel insects and snakes, wrapped it in a snowball, and threw it into the cave in the cliff.

Before long, strange noises emanated from the cave, the sound of cracking ice mingling with the rumble of rocks colliding, and then the mountain trembled as snow piled at the cave entrance began to fall.

Boom—

An ice rock serpent, as thick as a thousand-year-old tree, burst out of the cave. The large entrance appeared particularly cramped as its massive body took up more than half of the space.

Ren Qingyue was quick to react, unleashing several sword qi strikes. Part of these strikes sliced into the ice rock serpent, cracking off the ice layers on its body.

The remaining sword qi struck the cliff wall behind it, and with several loud rumbles, rocks tumbled down as the cave collapsed.

Large chunks of rock crashed onto the ice rock serpent; although this didn't inflict significant damage to it, the boulders wedged at the cave entrance greatly restricted the serpent's movement.

It could no longer freely enter and exit the cave as it had before, either retreating inside or emerging outside to engage in battle with the humans that dared to provoke it.

The ice rock serpent had lived here peacefully for many years, with thousands of years of cultivation and formidable strength. In this territory, besides the old monsters training on the snow-capped mountains, what other living creature would dare act so recklessly?

None!

For the first time in thousands of years, the ice rock serpent was provoked in such an audacious manner. It roared in anger and rushed out of the cave without hesitation, ready to teach this blind human a lesson.

Good timing!

Ren Qingyue silently cheered in her heart, quickly retreating with a light step.

The ice rock serpent was covered in thick icy armor, and several sharp icy spikes stood erect on its head, giving it an exceptionally fierce appearance.

As its entire body emerged from the cave, its length was over a hundred feet, coiling like a small mountain and exuding an overwhelming sense of terror.

Yet, Ren Qingyue felt no fear from the oppressive aura released by the giant serpent. On the contrary, her noble bloodline as a Qingtian fox made her aura slightly stimulating to the ice rock serpent.

As the serpent charged toward her with a roar, Ren Qingyue retreated while searching for the right angle to pinpoint its seven-inch mark.

The giant serpent initiated its attack first, extending its long neck, and its head slammed down like a heavy hammer.
