The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

"Compared to here, that place isn't far. Just keep walking east. It seems like half a day should be enough," Pei Huan continued. She had worried about this before, wondering if there would be any problems since this place was so close to that mountain.

In fact, this worry was indeed justified, for we ran into those demons sent by the fox spirits. If it weren't for Master Qian arriving so quickly...

"Okay, I understand." Bai Qian nodded gently.

She turned to look at Bai Yao, her clear eyes glancing at Bai Yao before turning away without saying anything more.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning." With that, she left.

In just a moment, it disappeared from the three people's sight.

Bai Yao stared blankly in the direction Bai Qian had left.

----

Aunt Hu stared at the mirror in front of her with a gloomy face. Cracks had appeared one after another on the smooth surface of the mirror.

This mirror doesn't matter to it; if it breaks, it breaks.

But what it cared about more was what it had just heard.

Or rather, it was the girl's arrogant attitude.

They killed one of my juniors right in front of me, and even said they would come over tonight.

As if it were some kind of pushover, Aunt Hu could say with certainty that in all her two hundred years of life, this was the first time she had ever seen someone so arrogant.

In the past, when they were demons, they were suppressed by heaven and earth and could only let humans develop at will.

But in this situation, how could she dare to adopt such an attitude?

The old lady shouldn't have gotten so angry, but just thinking about what she had just seen from the girl made Hu Gu feel a surge of anger.

It stepped out of the cave and called out, "Qiao'er, go and open the maze on the mountain for me."

Although it didn't think Bai Qian would attack tonight, it was still just in case, since that place wasn't far from their mountain.

Most importantly, I am currently at a critical juncture. The deity I have been trying to communicate with for decades has suddenly responded in the past few days, and it seems that I can establish contact with Him soon.

She can call if she wants, but if it interferes with her establishing a connection with that being, then even if she dies a hundred times, she can't make up for her loss.

Although it was heartbroken by the death of two transformed fox demons, everything else paled in comparison. Besides, that brat Hu Xi had told it to gather intelligence, but she hadn't told it to provoke that person.

The deity he was trying to communicate with was not the wild god that Bai Fengcheng worshipped. That deity was a genuine terror, a supreme and monstrous god in the entire world.

The Great Yin Secret Master.

Hu Gu walked out of the cave and slowly walked to a pool. However, this pool was different from the usual pool. A black, mud-like liquid was churning in it. The old man casually clapped his hands.

Two women, walking unsteadily, slowly approached, their eyes glazed over as if they could see nothing ahead.

The old man watched them jump into the pool made of mud.

The churning mud calmed down.

An inexplicable and eerie atmosphere permeated the air.

But Aunt Hu still perked up.

The door is about to open.

It is quite certain of this.

If I could do this a few more times, I might be able to establish a connection with this supreme being, even if He doesn't even notice me at all, as long as I can borrow a bit of His power.

Aunt Hu was filled with a sense of anticipation.

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted its thoughts.

A woman with half a fox's face ran over.

"Ancestor, someone is breaking into the mountain!" she said hurriedly as she ran into the cave.

"She has broken through most of the maze, and half of the tribesmen on the mountain are dead. They will be here soon."

Hu Gu's initially joyful expression froze, and it listened to the woman's words with a look of bewilderment on its face.

Isn't this a bit too fast?!

Volume 1: Chapter 61, Breaking Through the Mountains

This must be the Xihong Mountain that Pei Huan mentioned, right?

Bai Qian stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the not-so-high mountain in her line of sight.

The mountain is mainly composed of reddish-brown rocks, which may be where its name comes from?

It's quite close to there. The half-day walk Pei Huan mentioned is for an average person, but not for her.

When I told the old man that I would come over tonight, I wasn't joking.

If it's said tonight, it definitely won't be tomorrow. This should be considered the most basic issue of trust.

Besides, if it's any later, it might escape. I said I'd kill your whole family, what's the point of letting one escape?

Bai Qian glanced wistfully at the rugged mountain path before her, then slowly began to walk up it.

She carried her sword and slowly stepped onto the reddish-brown stone.

The bright moon hanging in the sky was gently shrouded in mist, and then the heavy mist spread around Bai Qian.

Almost instantly, it blocked off everything that could be seen.

The evil spirits lurked in the mist, their greedy eyes fixed on the girl in red standing on the mountain path, as if they wanted to devour her whole, bones and skin.

---

"Did our ancestor seal off the mountain for her sake?" the fox demon whispered in the mist.

"I don't know, but since there are humans who dare to come up the mountain, they seem to be not to be trifled with."

"So what if she's not easy to mess with? She's already entered this maze. No matter how strong she is, it's useless. If she can't find us, she'll just die of exhaustion here."

"Her face is indeed quite beautiful. Keep this body for me; I need a new body for my transformation."

"I want it too, why should I give it to you?"

The fox demons were discussing enthusiastically, completely indifferent to Bai Qian at this moment. It was as if, in their eyes, the girl was already meat on a chopping board, at their mercy to be cut and torn apart.

This is to be expected, as they are usually unable to come down the mountain. They learn about what happens down there from those who have been captured and brought up the mountain. In their eyes, the people down there are just food for them.

"Once she runs out of strength, we'll each rely on our own abilities."

"Also..." Before he could finish speaking, he began.

A girl in red emerged from the mist.

He met the gaze of the whispering fox demons.

The fox spirits didn't know how she got out of the maze. How long did it take from when she went up the mountain to when she got out of the maze?

Both sides fell silent for a moment.

Bai Qian gazed at the group of red foxes, her slender fingers gripping the hilt of her sword.

The fox demons were not afraid of Bai Qian emerging from the mist. What could she do even if she escaped the maze?

Humans are just food to them; it's become commonplace for them. Her coming out will only mean she'll be eaten sooner.

A fox demon, about half the height of a human, emerged. It was much taller than the other foxes, and its scarlet eyes stared at Bai Qian with a hint of arrogance.

"You are the one our ancestors said was disrespectful to her..." The last word was left unsaid.

The sword has been drawn.

Its body was cut in two and lay limp on the ground like a rag.

The whispers of the fox spirits abruptly ceased.

The way they looked at Bai Qian changed from their previous unrestrained scrutiny to a completely different attitude.

That's fear.

Sensing that deep gaze and listening to the sound of blood dripping from the sword tip onto the ground, none of them dared to act or make any sound that might attract her attention.

They didn't understand how Bai Qian had killed their most powerful fox demon with a single sword strike, but they knew that at that moment, they were no different from half a fox demon.

A fireball suddenly emerged and hurtled towards the girl in red.

She extended her fair, delicate fingers and casually waved them, shattering the fireball with the raging air currents.

A fox demon emerged from the mist. It was much larger than the other fox demons, taller than Bai Qian. Its fox face had a twisted, womanly expression, and its venomous eyes were fixed on Bai Qian.

Upon seeing this fox demon appear, the group of fox demons felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly ran into the surrounding fog.

Bai Qian raised her sword.

Three fox demons were cut in half, while the remaining fox demons that were some distance away escaped and hid in the fog.

Bai Qian was not in a hurry; she gazed at the fox demon that had appeared.

Three fireballs burst forth in succession, their crimson light illuminating the girl's pale face and engulfing her petite figure.

The fox demon with the woman's face stared in the direction where Bai Qian was standing, before it could even make out anything from the remaining mist and flames.

She walked out.

She was still the same person, without a trace of being tainted by the flames. The flames seemed to swirl around her like mist, reflecting off the girl's snow-white skin.

Upon seeing Bai Qian emerge, it instinctively condensed two more fireballs and hurled them at her.

With a pinch of her slender white fingers, the fireball was crushed into pieces, turning into sparks and dissipating into the air.

The other fireball missed.

Bai Qian walked up to it and looked at it calmly.

A blazing fireball brewed in its mouth and exploded between the two, the crimson flames reflecting the girl's indifferent expression.

Flames burst forth, and a fair, delicate hand emerged from the flames.

Press down on the fox demon's head, which was on the woman's face.

Instead of pressing it down, it was pulled out.

Along with its head and spine, it was pulled out of the flesh and blood. The fox demon, which had just been standing, went limp and collapsed to the ground. Its head and spine, like a hammer, were casually thrown on the ground by Bai Qian, and rolled twice.

Stepping into the pool of blood, Bai Qian picked up her sword and continued walking towards the mist ahead.

The fox demons were still fleeing, but they couldn't get very far.

The maze trapped not only Bai Qian, but also them.

Bai Qian doesn't need to go out of her way to find them; she can just kill them with a single sword strike if she happens to encounter them.

There are many fox spirits on the mountain; you can encounter them just by wandering around. If you don't encounter them, you can find the key ones later after dealing with them.

My steps faltered again; someone was blocking my way once more.

A woman in a red dress, the color of which was somewhat similar to Bai Qian's at the moment, but not quite the same.

After all, several pieces of Bai Qian's clothes had already turned dark red.

The woman looked at Bai Qian and began to play her flute; the sound of the flute was somewhat muffled.

Bai Qian didn't know what the flute she was playing was for, and was just about to walk forward when...

A man with grayish-black hair on his face emerged.

He appeared out of nowhere, suddenly standing in front of Bai Qian. He raised his hand, pointing it at Bai Qian, his sharp claws already showing.

They wanted to take advantage of Bai Qian's distraction caused by the flute to eliminate her.

Bai Qian looked at him, and he looked at Bai Qian.

Before the claws even touched Bai Qian, the fist was already shoving into his chest.

It pierced right through, from the chest to the back, a single punch piercing through, shattering the heart, or rather, all the internal organs.

The claw didn't land in the end.

Bai Qian withdrew her hand, and the man's corpse lay on the ground, transforming into a black wolf demon corpse.

The woman in the red robe looked unwell. As Bai Qian approached, she seemed about to say something.

Bai Qian had already walked up to her without her noticing and gently patted her head.
