Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 93 Lotus Leaf Boat

This monster was as large as a mountain, and its whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Huan Yuechu showed no fear. Her beautiful eyes shone with determination as she resolved to take the initiative.

However, just as Huan Yuechu was about to take action, Xu Yan suddenly reached out and stopped her, indicating that she would deal with the crisis first.

Xu Yan, holding a sharp dagger, swiftly charged towards the black panther.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yan had rushed to Black Panther's side, and the dagger in her hand thrust out like lightning.

But the black panther reacted extremely quickly, nimbly dodging to the side and easily avoiding the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the black panther's thick, powerful tail swept across like a steel whip, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.

Seeing this, Huan Yue, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, dared not be negligent in the slightest.

She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. As she moved, a blazing flame appeared out of thin air and roared straight toward the black panther's tail.

The black panther, burning in excruciating pain from the flames, let out an angry roar.

It suddenly turned around, opened its blood-red mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and viciously pounced on Wen Xingyu.

Seeing the black leopard charging menacingly, Xu Yan did not back down.

He pushed off with his feet, leaping forward like a shooting star and landing accurately on the broad back of the black panther.

At the same time, Xu Yan did not hesitate to forcefully stab the dagger in her hand into the black panther's back.

Severely injured, the black panther began to struggle wildly, trying to shake Xu Yan off its back.

It kept jumping and twisting its body, trying to get rid of this enemy that was causing it so much pain.

At this critical moment, Wen Xingyu's eyes sharpened, and with a flash, she swiftly circled around to the front of the black panther like a ghost.

With a sudden wave of her hands, an incredibly powerful gust of air shot out, heading straight for the black panther's sharp and fierce eyes!

At this moment, the black panther was attacked from both sides. Wen Xingyu was launching a fierce attack from the front, and enemies were chasing closely from behind. It began to panic.

Despite the black panther's desperate struggle, it was ultimately unable to withstand the attack from both sides and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Xu Yan, on his back, dared not relax for a moment, holding tightly to the black leopard to prevent herself from being thrown off.

He knew that this was the crucial moment that would determine victory or defeat.

When he saw that Black Panther was struggling and making numerous mistakes, he did not hesitate to reach for the dagger tucked into his waistband and pull it out with all his might.

Then, with a sideways flip, the dagger in his hand flashed through the air and accurately plunged deep into the black panther's neck once again!

With a dull thud, the black panther's massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded: the black panther's body instantly transformed into a cloud of billowing black smoke, gradually dissipating into the air.

Seeing that Black Panther was finally defeated, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu couldn't help but smile at each other, and the tension in their hearts eased a little.

However, before they could even catch their breath, the surrounding environment suddenly changed again—the thick fog that had been permeating the forest began to dissipate rapidly, as if stirred by an invisible hand.

As the fog dissipated, a winding, thorny road slowly appeared before the two of them.

At the end of the road, in the distance, one can vaguely see a magnificent palace standing there.

The palace exudes a mysterious and dazzling radiance, as if shrouded in a thin mist, making it impossible to see its true face.

As Xu Yan gazed at the palace, a strong sense of anticipation and tension welled up within her.

He clenched his fists tightly, silently encouraging himself, "It seems there are still more difficulties and dangers ahead, but I will never back down!"

Seeing Xu Yan's firm determination, Wen Xingyu walked to Huan Yuechu's side without hesitation and said firmly.

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them bravely together. As long as we work together, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome."

Huan Yuechu nodded slightly in agreement.

I'm so grateful for their companionship along the way; otherwise, given my current physical condition, I probably wouldn't have been able to...

A resolute light shone in her beautiful eyes as she softly said, "Yes, let us join hands and uncover the secrets hidden behind this palace."

Having said that, the three of them took firm steps and resolutely embarked on this thorny and unknown road.

Every step felt so heavy, yet it carried boundless courage and hope.

The roadside grass rustled intermittently, as if something was watching them from the shadows; occasionally, a few unknown birds flew across the sky, emitting mournful cries, which added to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

However, none of this shook the three's belief in moving forward; on the contrary, it brought their hearts closer together and deepened their tacit understanding.

The three continued their exploration on the unknown path.

After traversing a rugged mountain path, the three arrived at a tranquil lake near the palace.

The lake was like a huge, transparent mirror, so clear that even the finest sand and aquatic plants on the bottom could be seen clearly.

In the center of the lake stands a mysterious island, which, when viewed from afar, seems to faintly shimmer with a faint blue light.

This strange sight stirred something in Huan Yue's heart. She keenly realized that this place was very likely the hiding place of the next spirit pearl.

However, frustratingly, the lake is exceptionally wide, stretching as far as the eye can see.

On the calm, mirror-like surface of the water, not a single boat capable of carrying people across the river could be seen.

Faced with this predicament, Huan Yuechu frowned, deeply troubled. He could easily get through it himself, but now there were three of them...

Just then, Wen Xingyu spotted several huge lotus leaves growing by the lake. They were broad and thick, floating on the water like small green boats.

Seeing the lotus leaves, Wen Xingyu had a flash of inspiration and excitedly said to Huan Yuechu, "We can use these lotus leaves as boats!"

Xu Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she thought the idea was very feasible.

The three of them carefully stepped onto the lotus leaves, afraid that they might accidentally fall into the water.

Next, they found two thick tree branches to use as oars and slowly rowed the "lotus leaf boat" into the depths of the lake.

As they got closer to the island in the middle of the lake, Huan Yuechu became increasingly nervous.

Just as they were about to reach the shore of the island, a sudden ripple appeared on the calm lake surface.

Suddenly, several large, strangely shaped creatures leaped out of the lake.
