Chapter 230: Chapter 221 Little Sparrow Accomplishes a Merit

It was at this moment that Lin Jing caught sight of a red shadow lunging towards him from the corner of his eye.

And this red shadow was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Lin Jing.

However…

Lin Jing’s reaction was not slow either. The instant the red shadow attacked, his Divine Sense had already probed out.

It wasn’t until then that Lin Jing realized…

The one ambushing him turned out to be a snake-like Demonic Beast, except that the beast’s body was blood-red, and on its head, there was a lump of flesh…

Coupled with its gaping maw, it looked extremely terrifying.

With its gaping maw wide open, revealing sharp fangs, the Demonic Beast pounced towards Lin Jing.

At this moment…

Lin Jing had already commanded the Flawless Sword, positioning it in front of himself.

The Flawless Sword was transparent, and it seemed the vision of the beast wasn’t very good, as it collided directly with the Flawless Sword.

Its attack, however, was precisely blocked by Lin Jing’s Flying Sword.

After colliding with the Flawless Sword, the beast let out a series of “hiss” noises…

Then it was sent flying backward.

Lin Jing, too, was knocked back several steps by the impact of the Demonic Beast, nearly falling to the ground.

Lin Jing quickly steadied himself and looked towards the Demonic Beast.

The snake-like Demonic Beast was fast, and its strength was not weak either.

Moreover.

Judging by the aura it was emitting…

The strength of this Demonic Beast should not be much different from Lin Jing’s own; to take it down, he estimated he would need to put in quite an effort.

Lin Jing kept a close watch on the beast while calculating in his mind how to defeat it.

Just as Lin Jing was deep in thought…

Suddenly…

The Demonic Beast shuddered violently, as if it had encountered its natural predator, first retracting, then turning around and fleeing as if flying.

Even faster than when it had attacked Lin Jing.

This action left Lin Jing dumbfounded.

Just as Lin Jing was confused and still dumbstruck…

A black shadow swooshed by, passing next to Lin Jing at a speed much faster than that of the snake-like Demonic Beast.

In an instant, the black shadow had caught up with the snake-like Demonic Beast.

“Screech…”

With a piercing shriek, the black shadow directly pounced on the snake-like Demonic Beast.

Upon hearing this cry, Lin Jing realized.

It turned out that this black shadow was none other than Little Sparrow.

However…

The snake-like Demonic Beast was so focused on fleeing that it didn’t even have time to look back before Little Sparrow struck it dead.

Lin Jing didn’t even see clearly how the snake-like Demonic Beast died.

He only saw Little Sparrow swooping down, skimming over the head of the snake-like beast like a dragonfly touching water…

Afterward…

The serpent-shaped Demonic Beast collapsed to the ground, its lump of flesh on its head split open, leaving a large hole from which blood was gushing out.

Under Little Sparrow’s claw, the snake-like Demonic Beast couldn’t last a single round and was instantly killed by Little Sparrow.

When it comes to Little Sparrow, although it may seem like a small glutton and even a bit silly at times,

It had in fact always been very powerful.

Speaking of which…

It had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, just one step away from the Golden Core.

It had always been stuck, never able to make the breakthrough.

Next…

Little Sparrow, with a Demonic Beast Inner Core in its mouth, flew towards Lin Jing.

This speed was as if it was just taking a leisurely stroll.

Compared to the speed when it had killed the serpent-shaped beast, it was a world apart.

Little Sparrow landed directly on Lin Jing’s shoulder.

After that…

Little Sparrow, with the Demonic Beast Inner Core still in its mouth, “gulp,” swallowed it down into its stomach.

Then it cocked its head, looking at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing, looking at Little Sparrow, asked:

“Little Sparrow…”

“How did you come to be here?”

“Where is Qing Ling?”

Hearing Lin Jing’s question, Little Sparrow tilted its head thoughtfully and then replied:

“Looking for you…”

Lin Jing immediately understood what Little Sparrow meant.

It must be that after Huang Qingling entered, she didn’t encounter any of them.

Then…

she sent out Little Sparrow to look for them.

Little Sparrow could fly very quickly and was quite familiar with the jungle.

Having it search for people couldn’t be more appropriate.

“Little Sparrow, could you please take me to find Fellow Daoist Qing Ling?”

Lin Jing spoke, addressing Little Sparrow.

“Understood…”

Little Sparrow nodded, agreeing with a sentence.

Afterward.

It flew up from Lin Jing’s shoulder and headed into the jungle behind them.

And Lin Jing, hastily followed behind Little Sparrow.

Here…

only the snake-shaped Demonic Beast’s corpse, without its Demonic Beast Inner Core, was left behind.

However, in just a short while, a swarm of insects and ants had surrounded the corpse of the snake-shaped demonic beast.

These insects and ants were incredibly fierce…

In just a moment, the corpse of the snake-shaped demonic beast was nibbled clean, without even leaving a trace of bone behind.

At this time…

in this dense jungle.

Lin Jing followed Little Sparrow, weaving through the dense forest.

Just like that…

roughly a quarter of an hour later, Lin Jing once again saw Huang Qingling.

The distance between the two was not very far.

However, navigating through the dense jungle was quite troublesome and took some time.

It was also fortunate that the distance between them was not great…

Otherwise.

Little Sparrow wouldn’t have been able to find Lin Jing so quickly.

“Fellow Daoist Qing Ling…”

The moment he saw Huang Qingling, Lin Jing greeted her first.

Huang Qingling also turned to greet him only after seeing Little Sparrow, and then saw Lin Jing following behind Little Sparrow.

“Lin Jing…”

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Huang Qingling quickly greeted him in return.

Seeing Lin Jing, Huang Qingling was visibly very happy.

“I didn’t expect Little Sparrow to find you so quickly…”

Lin Jing nodded and then said,

“I just encountered a Demonic Beast, but fortunately, Little Sparrow appeared and saved my life.”

Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Little Sparrow proudly raised its head, looking at Huang Qingling.

It seemed to be waiting for Huang Qingling’s praise.

Even though Lin Jing could deal with the demonic beast on his own, it would require him to exert his true strength.

It wasn’t as effortless as it was for Little Sparrow.

And now, Little Sparrow was quite clever, almost able to communicate normally with people.

So…

In front of Little Sparrow, Lin Jing had no choice but to hide his strength.

“How are you, are you hurt?”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s story, Huang Qingling’s voice rose anxiously as she quickly looked him over.

“Little Sparrow arrived in time, so luckily, I was unharmed.”

Lin Jing said.

After hearing what Lin Jing said and seeing that there were no wounds on him, Huang Qingling finally let out a sigh of relief.

Subsequently.

Huang Qingling gently rubbed Little Sparrow and said to it,

“Little Sparrow, you did a great job…”

Receiving such treatment from Huang Qingling, Little Sparrow seemed to enjoy it immensely.

A moment later…

Huang Qingling looked up at Lin Jing and said,

“The Demonic Beasts here are mostly at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it’s rare for them to attack people; they probably attacked you because they saw your cultivation was low.”

“Previously…”

“Everyone who came in here had at least the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“I’m afraid you were the only one at the Qi Refinement Realm.”

Having said this, Huang Qingling then expressed self-reproach,

“We came in a hurry before and I neglected this matter; had I known, I would have prepared some talismans for you before entering.”
