15. Chen Yi

Are these people crazy or what? They feel uncomfortable if they don't target the demon tribe for a day?

Jiang Ke'er pretended not to be angry and just smiled slightly: "What if you can learn it? People are divided into good and evil, smart and stupid, and the same is true for the demons... How can you let prejudice cloud your mind and kill them all with one stick."

"Third brother, why are you wasting your time talking to an animal?" The sturdy and strong monk said impatiently, "Hurry up and deal with this beast and go find the next one."

The confident monk nodded and glanced at Jiang Ke'er: "Go away, I won't kill you, so as not to dirty my sword... but don't expect me to help you."

Jiang Ke'er understood and politely bowed to the three monks: "But I will remember your life-saving grace this time."

"No need." The confident monk waved his hand in disgust.

Jiang Keer turned and left.

But she had walked for a few minutes before she heard a muffled sound of footsteps behind her.

Her heart tightened, wondering if those monks had changed their minds and wanted to kill her, so she secretly tensed her nerves, mobilized the formation stones, and decided to fight to the death.

But the footsteps still followed, neither attacking nor stopping, as if they were intentionally hiding, but their hiding skills were too poor.

Jiang Ke'er couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere, and turned back suddenly, wanting to see who had such a bad taste.

What he saw instead was a big, shiny bald head that quickly retreated behind a tree.

"Come out, I see you."

The bald guy didn't move.

"I really saw you," Jiang Ke'er was a little puzzled - how could this guy be more cowardly than herself.

As she spoke, Jiang Ke'er had already controlled the formation stone to circle around the big bald man's feet.

This time she decided to strike first!

"Fuck-"

"what--"

A shrill scream came from behind the tree. Jiang Ke'er judged from the voice that it was a teenager, about 13 or 4 years old.

The young man fell to the ground, twitching all over, begging for mercy again and again: "Female donor, stop it! Stop it now!"

Jiang Ke'er stopped the array stone from discharging electricity temporarily, but it was still stuck to the boy's body.

"Why are you following me?" Jiang Ke'er asked.

"I just heard what the female donor said and felt it was very novel, so I followed her." The little monk clasped his hands together and secretly glanced at Jiang Ke'er with a timid look on his face.

"What?" Jiang Ke'er was puzzled.

"'People are divided into good and evil, smart and stupid, and the same is true for demons,'" the little monk imitated Jiang Ke'er's tone at the time and repeated it again, with a puzzled look on his face, "Such a simple truth, but no one is willing to face this sentence, how strange..."

"You, little monk, are just what I want to do," Jiang Ke'er smiled. After being in this other world for so long, this was the first time she heard someone with such positive values.

She took back the formation stone and said, "Strange, but not strange. If you face this sentence, how can you feel at ease to kill monsters and take monster pills... Even the most evil person must convince himself before doing something and find an excuse for not having nightmares."

The little monk trembled and fell into deep thought in shock: "This is something that has never been taught in the temple... The masters are right. The world is too big, and many truths cannot be heard in the temple."

"Of course." Jiang Ke'er rarely saw such a child who was so devoted to studying, and she couldn't help but think that he was much cuter than those monks who only cared about muscles and wanted to become immortals.

"Amitabha," the little monk looked at Jiang Ke'er with admiration, bowed to her, and said solemnly, "The female donor is full of wit and wisdom. You must be destined to be with our Buddhist sect. Why don't you convert to Buddhism and become a monk..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Keer felt a chill in her head.

We were just having a good chat, how come it suddenly turned into developing downlines?

To become a monk, one must be pure in mind and have all hair shaved off. Jiang Keer imagined what she would look like after shaving her head... smooth, fleshy ears, and a tentacle-like bald tail.

So, let’s kill this monk.

Jiang Ke'er suppressed her anger and asked, "Where are you from? What's your name? How dare you enter the Ancient Realm with such a low rank?"

"I came from the Pure Land Temple. My secular name is Chen Yi. I was not interested in cultivation and offended the abbot, so I was not given a Dharma name..." The little monk scratched the back of his head, then put his hands together again and said, "I was forced to come here by the abbot. He said something like 'If you don't cultivate well, you will die in there and never come back'... and then I was kicked in."

Jiang Ke'er didn't know what to say for a moment.

But her intuition told her that such a silly little monk should not be a bad person.

Is it... Chen Yi? Pure Land Temple? I feel like these two names sound familiar.

"By the way, why did the female donor come here?" The young monk Chen Yi asked Jiang Ke'er, "This place is extremely dangerous. Although I can't protect myself, I am not afraid of life and death... But the female donor is not strong either, why would she die in vain?"

"I was forced in here," Jiang Ke'er smiled, picked up a branch from the ground, and tried to wave it, "I'm a monster. The people inside want to kill me, and the people outside want to kill me even more. There's also an evil dragon that wants to deprive me of my personal freedom... I can hide in here and die more gracefully."

The little monk sighed softly, "Amitabha."

"You are different from those fake monks, at least you look different. If you have nowhere else to go, just follow me," Jiang Ke'er said, "I can't guarantee your safety, but it will be safer if you follow me."

"That's great!" The little monk's face was filled with joy, and it was obvious that he was not as fearless as he said.

"Do you know where the nearest city is?" Jiang Ke'er asked.

The little monk pointed to the way he came: "We went the wrong way."

Gan!

There was no other choice, Jiang Keer had to take the little monk back the same way.

The beast from before had been packed up and taken away, and even the sand and soil stained with the beast's blood had been dug up clean.

Jiang Ke'er could only pray silently that no other beasts would come to seek revenge, but with the three-member team of cultivators leading the way, the probability of encountering danger had been greatly reduced.

"when--"

A loud metal collision sound was heard not far away. It was obviously the sound of the Black Iron Ruins Beast colliding with the magic sword... It seemed that the team just now had found a new hunting target.

Jiang Ke'er wanted to take a detour, but there was no other way. There were thorns and vines everywhere, and only this path was cultivated by the human team, so it was not too difficult to pass.

There was no other choice, she could only take Chen Yi towards the source of the sound.

By the time Jiang Ke'er saw the group of monks, the battle was already over.

Three monks were skillfully dissecting the corpse of the Xu beast and stuffing it into the Qiankun bag.

"It's getting dark, we have to leave quickly." The confident monk looked at the sky and said with a worried look on his face.

"Nonsense, do you still need to talk about it?"

"Why are you back again?" The confident monk looked displeased when he saw Jiang Ke'er, "Get out of here! Don't bother me anymore!"

Jiang Ke'er didn't want to have any more interactions with this group of people, and was about to leave when she found that the sky suddenly darkened.

A large dark cloud blocked out the last rays of sunlight.

In an instant, the dense forest seemed to have been drained of all sound. The lively chorus of insects and birds just now suddenly stopped at this moment, and the air was so silent that it seemed to be filled with death.

"Come on!"

The faces of the three monks suddenly changed. The voice of the confident monk was even broken with fear. He shouted loudly, dropped the corpse of the beast and ran towards the town.

“Ka-la-la—”

The air suddenly tore open three dark cracks, behind which were densely packed creepy green eyes.

It's a ruined beast.

Endless Ruins

"Roar--"

The cracks are not big, but each one is wide enough for a beast to pass through.

In the blink of an eye, three silver-white Xuantiexu beasts rushed into the field, dripping with fishy saliva, and pounced straight towards the delicious dishes in front of them!

They were very greedy and did not rush to attack Jiang Ke'er and Chen Yi who were lagging behind, because they knew that these two weaklings with low cultivation were already on the table and could not escape. Instead of dividing their energy to deal with the two of them, it would be better to catch the three fast runners in front first... and keep all the food!

Three Xu beasts passed by Jiang Ke'er. She wanted to turn around and run in the opposite direction, but she saw three more Xu beasts squeezed out from the crack.

The crack closed with a bang, but at this time there were already six Xu beasts in the field, blocking Jiang Ke'er from front and back, leaving her with no way to escape.

Jiang Keer gritted her teeth.

There are not enough array stones!

She held up a few stolen talisman papers, which were three explosion talismans and one sword energy talisman. They were all low-grade talisman papers of the second grade, and were obviously not enough to deal with the current situation.

She needs a sword! She needs a sword!

(3/3)

16. Happiness

The skin of the Xuantiexu beast is as hard as black iron, and is actually not suitable for being dealt with by a sword.

The most precious part of its body is its hard skin, which is the best material for refining weapons. The swords in the hands of the three monks are made from the skin of the beast.

"Don't come over!" In panic, the three monks were shouting at the top of their lungs. Their extreme fear made their expressions more hideous and distorted than those of the beasts.

With their strength, they were only able to deal with one Ruin Beast. If they dealt with one, they would be able to handle it with ease. If they dealt with two, they would be able to escape. But if they dealt with three, they would definitely die... and now there were six.

Silver-white devils were walking through the woods. This was the home turf of the Xu beasts. Their streamlined bodies and hard skin allowed them to move freely among the thorny vines, more than three times faster than that of the monks!

"when--"

With the first attack from the shadows, sparks flew, and the power-type monk smashed the beast's heavy sword away.

His teammates weren't so lucky.

One of them sensed the rustling noises on the side and immediately responded with a sword move, but unexpectedly another shadow silently circled behind him, with its claws pointed at his heart.

“Puff—”

The trembling bright red heart, along with the broken white ribs, emerged from the monk's chest.

"Dang Cang——"

The magic sword in his hand loosened, completely lost contact with its owner, and fell to the ground.

After the Ruin Beast successfully killed him, it did not enjoy the fruits of victory directly, but instead turned its attention to the confident monk.

Three Xu beasts surrounded the two men, and another three Xu beasts were slowly approaching here. They had no way to escape.

"I told you it was time to go!" The sturdy and powerful monk, facing death, suddenly lost his temper at the confident monk, "If you, such an arrogant man, hadn't insisted on taking one more, we would have returned to town long ago, and the third brother wouldn't have died!"

"Are you bragging now? Why didn't you say anything when I made the decision?" The confident monk could no longer suppress his anger.

The two men were extremely desperate. They had hunted hundreds of Ruin Beasts and were very familiar with the habits and strength of these alien monsters.

They knew that they could not survive the pursuit of six Xu beasts. Even now, the Xu beasts were just trying to keep them fresh, so they were not in a hurry to kill them all. If they made any rash moves, the Xu beasts would surround and kill them in an instant.

It’s over.

No matter how hard you have practiced, in the ancient world, life and death are often just a matter of a thought, and if you make a mistake, there will be no chance to regret.

"Can you really use a sword?" A voice came from not far away.

With the dim moonlight, the power monk and the confident monk saw two people standing there.

Hope of survival ignited in their hearts, but they soon saw clearly - it was the weak dog demon they had driven away earlier, and an equally weak and useless monk.

"I've seen others use it before," Jiang Ke'er answered truthfully, "but this is the first time I use a sword myself."

“……”Chen Yi was speechless.

The two monks also completely gave up hope - after all this time, it turned out to be a Cloud Swordsman.

Seeing Jiang Ke'er playing with the magic sword in her hand with a curious look on her face, like a child who got a new toy, and looking unreliable, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "Amitabha, in ancient times, the Buddha sacrificed his body to feed the tiger, and now I, Chen Yi, sacrifice my body to feed the beast... What's the joy of life, and what's the fear of death? I am not afraid of death, but..."

“…I’m afraid of the pain!”

Being eaten alive by a beast must be a terrible experience.

Thinking of that scene, the two monks couldn't help but feel terrified. But then again... when did the third brother's sword end up in the hands of that dog demon?

Perhaps they were tired, or perhaps they could no longer suppress their desire for a good meal, the beasts no longer waited, and suddenly launched an attack on the two monks!

They couldn't even see the silver shadow clearly before it rushed to them, and its sharp claws went straight to their soft bellies, tearing their intestines apart in an instant!

But in this moment of life and death——

"Face Hayate!"
