The elemental fire energy struck the water python, instantly igniting its body. The water python rolled frantically in the water, trying to extinguish the flames.

Witnessing their comrade injured, the other water pythons grew even more enraged, hastening towards the group.

The group unleashed spells, engaging in a fierce battle with the water pythons.

After a grueling struggle, they finally vanquished several water pythons.

Gasping for breath, the group members were all more or less wounded.

“These formidable creatures in the Fierce Beast Valley are becoming increasingly powerful.” Someone complained.

“Do not complain, let us continue our quest for the Fierce Beast Pearls.” Enzo remarked.

At that moment, Enzo suddenly noticed some strange symbols engraved on a rock by the stream.

These symbols bore some resemblance to the runes seen in the mysterious ruins before.

Enzo’s heart leaped. Could there be a connection between the Fierce Beast Valley and the mysterious ruins?

He quickly approached the stone and began to study the symbols carefully.

Drawing from his past experiences, Enzo attempted to touch the symbols in a certain order.

Suddenly, the ground beside the stone slowly opened up, revealing a descending passage.

“There might be some clues inside, follow me, everyone.” Enzo said, leading the way into the passage.

A faint fishy smell pervaded the tunnel, and weak glimmers of light shone on the walls, barely illuminating the path.

The group treaded cautiously, when suddenly, a buzzing sound came from ahead.

A swarm of giant venomous bees flew towards them. The bees were the size of fists, their stingers gleaming with a cold light.

“It’s the venomous bees, beware of their stingers!” Enzo shouted.

The group quickly cast defensive spells, preparing to counter the bees’ attack.

The bees swarmed in, rushing towards the group.

A new battle had begun…

Meanwhile, in another corner of Alfa City.

Maude, known as Mau, sat in a luxurious room, listening to the reports from his subordinates.

“My lord, Enzo and his team have entered the Fierce Beast Valley. Following your orders, we have set up numerous powerful mechanisms and traps inside. This time, they are likely to have a hard time making it out alive.” His subordinate reported respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Mau’s expression immediately turned grave. “This won’t do! Enzo must not come to harm. We must find a way to assist him.” He declared.

“My lord, Enzo could potentially become your most formidable opponent in the future. By helping him, aren’t you worried about nurturing a threat?” His subordinate asked, puzzled.

Mau shook his head, unperturbed. “I have a fondness for Enzo. I have no intention of letting him become my adversary. Instead, he may assist me in accomplishing another matter. Furthermore, now that I am concealed in Alfa City under the alias Mau, I am in need of an ally. Follow my instructions, continue monitoring Enzo. Should he be in danger, do not stand idly by. You must intervene promptly. Understood?”

“Yes, my lord.” His subordinate replied, seeing that Mau had made up his mind, and obediently left.

Mau approached the window, gazing out at the vast sky, pondering aloud, “Enzo, oh Enzo, I hope you do not disappoint me! I do not wish to lose such an intriguing ally like you.”

Regardless of whether Enzo agrees to form an alliance with him, Mau already considers Enzo as an ally.

The group returned to the Valley of the Fierce Beast.

The group found themselves besieged by venomous bees with no viable means of escape.

Before long, half of the team had to withdraw from the assessment due to bee stings.

Surrounded only by Enzo, Patricia, and a few others, Matilda felt an unprecedented weight pressing down upon her.

Turning to Enzo beside her, she implored, “Enzo, we must devise a solution. If we continue like this, we’ll all be trapped here, with no hope of passing the assessment.”

Acknowledging her words with a solemn nod, Enzo surveyed the terrain and pondered potential remedies.

Just then, Patricia interjected, “Enzo, look ahead, there’s a cave. Shall we seek refuge inside for a while?”

“Agreed.” Enzo replied, motioning for everyone to take shelter in the cave.

However, as they reached the cave’s entrance, a piercing scream tore through the air.

Matilda had been stung by a wasp and collapsed in agony.

Without hesitation, Enzo rushed to scoop the princess into his arms and swiftly carried her into the safety of the cave.

Meanwhile, Patricia and the others stood guard at the cave’s entrance, fending off the bees attempting to breach their sanctuary.

“Enzo, I feel so hot.My whole body is hot, what should I do?” Matilda whispered, her discomfort palpable.

Casting a discreet glance at the group behind him, Enzo escorted Matilda to a secluded nook within the cave.

Determination etched on his face, he reached out to remove Matilda’s garments.

Startled by his actions, Matilda pushed him away, demanding, “What are you doing?”

Unperturbed, Enzo explained, “I am trying to save you. You’ve been stung by bees and poisoned.”

Bewildered, Matilda questioned, “But why do you need to undress me?”

To which Enzo replied, “If I do not extract the venom, how can I help you rid your body of its toxins?”

“….” Matilda was momentarily speechless, overcome with shame.

The area where she had been stung by the venomous bee happened to be at the root of her thigh.

If she were to let Enzo suck the toxin out, wouldn’t that mean…

Matilda didn’t dare to even think about it.

How could she, as a woman, allow a man to suck there?

“Do you want to live?” Enzo urged, “If you don’t undress, not only will you be eliminated, but you will also die!”

“Why?” Matilda asked, puzzled.

“Because the venom of the bee is very potent, it will spread rapidly with the blood. If not promptly extracted, the toxin will erode your bodily functions, damage your organs and nervous system, and make you die in extreme agony. And we don’t have an antidote Potion at the moment, this is the only way. Time is running out, if you hesitate any longer, it will be too late.” Enzo replied.

Matilda bit her lip, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, “Alright, I’ll undress.”

She slowly removed her clothing, revealing her fair and slender thigh, the wound at the base of her thigh had already started to darken and swell.

Enzo took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, he leaned down and used his mouth to suck out the poisoned blood from the wound.

Matilda only felt a tingling sensation, a blush appearing on her face, her body trembling slightly.

“Ah… oh…”

As Enzo sucked longer, Matilda found herself increasingly enjoying it.

With her eyes half-closed, all she could think of was the image of Enzo sucking on her lower body.

“No… don’t… stop… Enzo.”

Matilda moaned softly.

This also aroused Enzo, completely forgetting that there were still venomous bees outside threatening them.

Enzo saw how much Matilda desired it.

He no longer restrained himself, his hands began to caress Matilda’s body, and Matilda responded eagerly, their breaths gradually becoming more hurried.

Outside, the venomous bees continued to fiercely strike the defensive barrier at the cave entrance, while Patricia and the others struggled to hold on. Inside the cavern, the two were immersed in this sudden passion.

After a while, their passion gradually subsided.

Matilda, with blush on her face, looked at Enzo with a gaze filled with complex emotions—shyness, contentment, and a hint of dependence on the man before her.

Enzo, somewhat awkwardly, straightened his clothes and cleared his throat, saying, “Um… I believe the toxins have been extracted. How are you feeling?”

Matilda shot him a glance and scolded, “You rascal.”

At that moment, Patricia’s voice came from outside, calling, “Enzo, how are you two doing? The bees are increasing, and we are struggling to hold them off!”

Enzo finally came to his senses and quickly stood up, saying, “We will be out in a moment.”

He and Matilda put on their clothes and walked out of the small chamber.

Seeing Enzo and Matilda emerge, Patricia and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

“As long as you are fine, now we need to find a way to get rid of these bees.”

Patricia said that.

Enzo nodded and surveyed the surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed some strange patterns on the cave wall, resembling ancient mechanical designs.

Approaching the wall, Enzo carefully examined these patterns, realizing they seemed to be connected in some way to the runes he had seen before at the mysterious ruins and the entrance to the Fierce Beast Valley.

He tentatively touched the patterns based on his speculation. Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed in the cave, and a hidden door slowly opened on one side of the cavern.

“Quickly, everyone, inside!” Enzo exclaimed.

The crowd hurried towards the hidden door, entering to find themselves in a vast underground cavern permeated with a mysterious aura, scattered with ancient artifacts and peculiar statues.

“What place is this?” Matilda inquired curiously.

Enzo shook his head, “I am uncertain, but it seems safe for now. Let us rest and contemplate our escape from here.” The group found places to sit, beginning to recuperate and tend to their wounds.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the cavern, pairs of crimson eyes glinted in the darkness, hinting at an unknown danger stealthily drawing closer…

During the rest, Enzo resolved to explore deeper into the cave to search for clues to escape or the Fierce Beast Pearl. Matilda expressed her desire to accompany him, and after a moment’s consideration, Enzo nodded in agreement.

The two proceeded cautiously towards the depths of the cavern, the air growing colder, and strange sounds faintly audible – whispers of sorrow and roars akin to those of a monstrous creature.

Matilda, involuntarily, drew closer to Enzo, grasping his arm. “Enzo, I am feeling a bit afraid.”

She whispered. Enzo gently patted her hand, reassuring, “Fear not, for I am here.”

As they advanced, a massive pool came into view, its water an eerie black hue emitting a chilling mist above its surface.

Enzo was about to approach for a closer inspection when suddenly, a gigantic claw emerged from the pool, lunging towards them. Enzo swiftly pulled Matilda back, narrowly avoiding the claw that left deep marks on the ground.

“What manner of creature is this?” Matilda cried out in astonishment.

Enzo furrowed his brow, watching the pool with vigilance as a colossal figure emerged, covered in shimmering scales, its eyes glowing like lanterns and its mouth bristling with razor-sharp fangs.

“Danger! Prepare for battle!”

Enzo exclaimed, conjuring elemental energy.

Matilda, too, wielded her icy divine arts, unleashing frigid beams of light towards the creature.

The monster roared in response to the assault and lunged towards them.

With a swift movement, Enzo dodged the creature’s attack, then leaped onto its back, raining down powerful punches upon its scales.
