The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Page 10

It's like the ghost stories that adults make up to scare children.

Things like monsters that eat children or appear at night are essentially just lies made up to make children obey.

But it is something that truly exists in this world.

Various demons roam freely; rat demons inhabit the city, and there are countless demons outside the city.

Eating children might be the norm, since children taste better than adults.

This is just Bai Fengcheng; if we consider the entire Daliang...

Famine is not just caused by drought.

If there were no demons, perhaps the Great Liang Dynasty wouldn't be in its current state...

Bai Qian paused slightly, as if she had thought of something, but also as if she hadn't thought of anything at all.

The air grew increasingly humid, and the scene at dusk was one of utter desolation.

Pengzhai in the south of the city was not a good place to begin with; the structures built with wooden sheds and thatch were dilapidated.

It's only natural that things like rats and cockroaches are everywhere, and with all sorts of garbage piled up together, it's even more natural that an epidemic would break out.

The plague is said to have started more than ten years ago, and its scope was not wide.

But as a result, this village fell into disrepair.

Even now, when you walk in here, you can still smell all sorts of rotten odors.

At dusk, two gray-black rats, about half a person's height, lay on the ground, as if sunbathing.

The rustling sound came from the surrounding shadows that were not yet illuminated by the twilight.

Bai Qian didn't seem scared at all; on the contrary, she felt quite warm towards it.

Perhaps it was because when I heard this voice last time, I gained a lot of lifespan from the demons.

"Fourth Master Rat, Fifth Master Rat, I've brought the person to you," Lai Xian said as he walked up to the two rats.

One of the mice lazily rolled over and glanced at Bai Qian with its eerie green eyes.

"Take it to the boss." He didn't seem to care.

"Yes." Lai Xian's tone was quite respectful.

He looked at Bai Qian.

Without him saying anything, Bai Qian took the initiative to walk over.

Lai Xian followed behind Bai Qian and approached the two fat rats. The two rats did not react at all and were indifferent to the approach of the two people.

Bai Qian gently raised the wooden stick in her hand.

Warm liquid mixed with a little turbid white splashed onto Lai Xian's face.

He blankly wiped the blood off his face with his fingers.

She watched as the wooden stick in Bai Qian's hand was somehow inserted into the head of the rat demon closest to her.

The wooden stick was stirred twice inside the rat demon's head before Bai Qian carefully pulled it out to prevent it from breaking accidentally.

"You..." Lai Xian raised his arm tremblingly, pointing at Bai Qian as if he wanted to say something, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You?" Bai Qian pulled the wooden stick out from Lai Xian's heart area, tilted her head and asked in confusion.

Is there anything you'd like to say?

Lai Xian was speechless; after all, how could someone still speak if they lost their heart?

Seeing Lai Xian fall, Bai Qian turned the wooden stick, pulled it out, and looked at the rat demon next to her who was terrified and crawling up.

The dim sunlight shone on the girl's delicate face, which was stained with drops of blood, like flawed jade. Her slender fingers gripped the wooden stick, and her silhouette in the twilight seemed like a ghost dancing.

The edges of the jade may be somewhat sharp.

Volume 1: Chapter 13, Rat Two

Rat Five didn't even see clearly what had just happened.

Basically, it was one of our own brothers who got ambushed.

One sword... one stick and his head was pierced open.

Monsters aren't gods either; they can survive even after someone stabs their head with a sword... oh, I mean a stick.

Both white and red liquids flowed out.

However, it's still quite embarrassing to have your head poked open with a stick.

Heartbroken? Not really. Apart from having some feelings for his leader, Rat Five doesn't seem to have any feelings for the other brothers.

If you die, you will die.

However, this guy is quite ruthless. He just pulled the stick out on one side, and then stabbed the other one into the heart of this person.

Rat Five took a step back, staring at Bai Qian with its eerie green beast eyes.

They did not act rashly.

Bai Qian held the wooden stick, watching it and waiting for it to make a move.

After all, according to normal practice, this person would probably just pounce on him, saving himself the trouble of walking over.

But this person kept backing away.

Regret.

It seems unlikely that they will come near me?

Bai Qian took a step forward.

Rat Five watched her warily.

Although he had just mocked his own brother for being stabbed to death with a stick, Rat Five wouldn't get close to him like that anymore.

Rat Three's death doesn't seem like an accident; he was most likely killed by this person.

He was thinking about how to inform the boss inside that if Rat Three was no match for him, he certainly wouldn't be either.

While I was still thinking about it.

The girl in white had already arrived before him, stepping on fragments of twilight.

when?

His dark green eyes narrowed sharply.

Subconsciously thinking this, my body reacted accordingly.

With a flick of its head, it lashed out with its claws at Bai Qian.

The girl shifted her feet, dodging Rat Five's claws, and the wooden stick rose upwards.

Rat Five couldn't dodge in time, but at the critical moment, it held its claws horizontally in front of the wooden stick.

The wooden stick pierced the claw.

The five rats felt a sharp pain.

Then came a crisp sound.

The stick broke.

The wooden stick is not hard enough.

Compared to bones, bones are still harder.

The wooden stick broke in two.

One piece was stuck in the gap between the rat demon's claw bones, while the other piece was pulled out by Bai Qian.

At this point, the wooden stick really does resemble a sword.

Because the shape of the break is irregular, although the length has shortened, the sharp end of the stick is significantly stronger than before.

The rat demon let out a sharp hiss.

No matter how good-tempered someone is, they won't react well to being poked like that.

His vertical pupils instantly turned cold, though it seemed as if a faint anger was welling up inside him.

But it did not take any radical action.

Instead, they are retreating.

There's no need to be so impulsive. This isn't the wild; this is their gathering place.

Regardless of what this person's intentions were in coming here.

But she was not facing Rat Four, nor herself.

Instead, it was the countless rats hiding in this shantytown, and the creatures behind them.

His body moved swiftly.

It doesn't need to win against the girl; it just needs to return to Pengzhai.

When that time comes, they will tear her to pieces.

The dark eyes watched silently as the rat demon scurried across the ground.

Huang Hun's skirt was trampled under Bai Qian's feet, and the rat demon's shadow was dragged long and long on the ground by Huang Hun, which was also trampled under Bai Qian's feet.

Bai Qian looked at the rat demon's not-so-fast movements with a puzzled expression.

She simply raised her hand slightly, holding the broken wooden stick.

The shoes stepped into a pool of blood.

Then he stepped into the snow.

Just two more breaths.

The rat demon was thinking this as it looked at the village that was so close to it.

In the twilight, I inexplicably saw a snowflake drifting down.

Rat Five felt a sudden jolt for no apparent reason.

It didn't know why it saw a snowflake, but it knew that if it didn't move aside at this moment...

There's probably no chance to escape.

Its large body quickly rolled to the side.

Dodged.
