Chapter 15: The Fierce Girl

  Another companion was killed, and the young men from the valley were furious and angry, shouting loudly. They finally took advantage of Bai Yuke's momentary pause after killing someone to surround her in the center, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that wove together into a five-colored net that enveloped her from all sides.

  However, an even more astonishing scene appeared.

  Bai Yuqing's slender body was as thin as a sheet of paper, eerily folding and twisting to avoid the incoming attacks one after another. Then her right palm moved uncertainly, successively imprinting on the chests of several boys. Layer upon layer of crystal clear ice crystals rapidly appeared on their bodies.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Five youths fell to the ground with a loud thud, and Nie Kong seemed to hear the sound of their bodies shattering. This time, they didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry, as their entire body, including their necks, turned into powder, leaving only their heads rolling on the ground for a few times before slowly disappearing into thin air.

  What a strong and capable young woman!

  Nie Kong took a deep breath, although he was a 9th-grade Spirit Gatherer, there was still a significant gap between him and those young men below. If he were to encounter Bai Yuqing, he estimated that she would be able to take him down as easily as chopping vegetables. The difference between Spirit Gathering and Soul Communication was just too great!

  Fortunately, in the mortal realm, strength is important, but luck is also crucial. According to Nie Qingfeng, there have been several instances where Spirit Masters who had reached the Gathering Spirit stage were able to hold on until the very end, while those formidable individuals either got surrounded and killed early on or were taken down by enraged spirit beasts later on.

  "Bai Yuqing, you're ruthless! Get out!"

  The last two young men let out a fierce and mournful cry, and without even thinking about avenging their companions, they turned around and fled towards the dense forest outside the valley.

  "Go? Go where?"

  Bai Yuqing sneered, "Why don't you go back home and drink your own mother's milk!" Bai Ying flashed out from her original position and caught up with one of them in an instant.

  "Stinky girls, don't bully people too much..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yuqing's hand rose and fell, leaving the young man's body below his neck. His head flew forward for several meters before getting stuck on a tree branch, swaying back and forth with his hair hanging down, eyes wide open, and his face still frozen in terror.

  "Ah!"

  The last person to witness this scene was so frightened that his face turned white, and in a state of panic, he fell to the ground. Bai Yuke rushed up from behind and stepped on his left back with one foot. His heart was trampled to pieces, and a mouthful of fresh blood shot out of the boy's open mouth like a sharp arrow. Afterwards, his head tilted to one side, and he died with his eyes still open.

  "You think you can rape me? You're just a bunch of useless trash, who are you to?"

  Bai Yuqing sneered and snorted, then turned around and stepped into the forest without looking back.

  "Old lady?"

  Faintly hearing the voice drifting with the wind, Nie Kong's eyeballs almost popped out, his face full of incredulity. The small mouth of Tongyuan Jiru White Jade Qing unexpectedly spat out the two words "old lady"?

  At this moment, Bai Yuke's icy image shattered and then recondensed, leaving behind a hint of warmth amidst her cold and proud demeanor.

  "Oh no...!"

  The little guy who had been quiet all along suddenly cried out, and Nie Kong didn't pay attention to it, subconsciously grabbing a handful of Longya algae from the pet backpack, pinching a ball and throwing it into his mouth to chew.

  The 120 catties of fragrant silk lotus root and dragon beard seaweed that I exchanged for with the prescription last time, after half a month's consumption, only twenty or so catties are left. If I'm frugal, it should barely be enough to last me seven days in the Mortal Life Realm. Of course, if I die early, then there's no need to worry about it at all.

  Xiao Yezi flashed, and Xiangxiang unceremoniously absorbed the medicinal properties of Longyaomo. Afterwards, she cried out even more urgently, her tone becoming more dramatic: "Ah...... yeah...... ah yeah...... yeah......"

  Feeling the little guy's anxiety, Nie Kong was slightly surprised and quickly calmed his mind to carefully sense. After a moment, Nie Kong's eyes revealed a suspicious color, the little guy called out not because of hunger, but because... it itself didn't know?

  What's your name?

  Nie Kong picked up the master's frame, scolding the little guy a few words. The fragrant small leaves rolled up, shrinking in embarrassment, Nie Kong was both amused and annoyed, this little guy was also too humanized. No longer paying attention to it, Nie Kong carefully observed the surroundings for a while before turning around and leaving.

  "Oh no!"

  The little guy started calling out anxiously again. Nie Kong was getting a headache, and he hurried back to his original spot, where the little guy was still calling out, but with an excited tone in his voice.

  Nie Kong took another few steps forward, and the little guy cheered even more.

  However, as soon as Nie Kong tried to retreat, it began to get anxious. After a few attempts at probing back and forth, Nie Kong was left crying with laughter. The little guy's emotional calls were very obvious, but unfortunately, they came from his subconscious instincts, making it difficult for him to discern the information being conveyed.

  Is there something in front of it that has a kind of instinctive attraction?

  Nie Kong was so annoyed that he stuffed all the Longyacao into his mouth, wanting to see if the medicinal herb could calm it down. Unfortunately, the little guy's medicine worked just fine, but its cries didn't stop for a moment. If only there was an even stronger medicine, it would be great to stuff it until it fell asleep and see if it would still cry!

  "Medicinal power?"

  These two words suddenly popped out of his mind, and Nie Kong's heart skipped a beat.

  Right, just now how didn't think of it, only all kinds of medicine power can attract the little guy! Is there some kind of medicinal herb growing around here? Before when I was outside, even if I entered the Spirit Medicine Hall, Xiang Xiang didn't call out, perhaps the medicinal herbs here are particularly precious?

  Nie Kong's heart was stirred, following the emotional changes in the little guy's cries, he continuously probed forward with his footsteps. Before long, Nie Kong arrived at the valley below.

  The head and ice crystal fragments at the entrance of the valley all disappeared, and faintly, there was an extremely weak scolding voice coming from afar, one of which seemed to be Bai Yujing who had just left. Nie Kong turned his head and looked around for a few eyes, those voices were at least several miles away from here, and should not be affected.

  The little guy's emotions became even more excited, Nie Kong quickened his pace and ventured deeper into the valley.

  As for White Jade being surrounded and killed in the distance, that had nothing to do with Nie Kong. If White Jade could kill everyone else off, then he would be even more welcome, after all, the fewer people around, the smaller the possibility of this valley being accidentally trespassed upon.

  About a moment later, Nie Kong walked to the end of the valley, but didn't see any plants similar to herbs. After searching around, there was still nothing found, and Nie Kong couldn't help but feel suspicious, thinking: Could it be that his own speculation was wrong? It shouldn't be, Xiang Xiang's voice was obviously somewhat excited.

  Nie Kong collected his thoughts and continued to wander around. After a while, Nie Kong stood in front of the cliff wall, extremely speechless, patting his forehead, it seemed that he was indeed deceived by Xiang Xiang this little guy, it was estimated that it just wanted to call out a few times, the emotional changes didn't have any meaning at all.

  "Oh no!!!"

  The fragrant voice suddenly turned into a sharp scream. Inside the Jade Pool Cave, the little guy's roots opened up three holes, and in that cluster of dark green blood, it was jumping and jumping, its tender leaves and stems swinging with an unprecedented amplitude, showing that its excitement had reached an extreme.

  Nie Kong's heart secretly rose with a glimmer of hope, and he overturned his previous conclusion. Two gazes swept back and forth, scanning all the plants around him.

  Finally, Nie Kong was attracted by a patch of tender green moss on the cliff wall.

  This moss was a bit special, and it actually grew a large number of small flower buds. Nie Kong couldn't help but reach out to touch them, and the cliff wall actually sank in by a small block.

  "Huh?"

  Nie Kong's doubts suddenly arose, and his arm increased in strength. A strange feeling of being pushed onto a cotton pile surged up, Nie Kong withdrew his hand too late, and stumbled forward...

  ……

  PS: What can the protagonist find inside? Also, I want to add some ambiguous plot elements in the fantasy world, of course not the kind that's overly sentimental or cheesy. Does anyone object? Haha...
