Sunset over the West Mountains.

Evening.

Ota Village.

"I'm leaving!"

Chen Angelica snatched the door out, and his petite body ran quickly into the distance.

"Slow down!"

"I haven't wiped my mouth yet!"

Behind him came the cries of women.

It's a pity,

Chen Angelica's figure has gradually faded away.

I don't know if I really didn't hear it, or if I pretended not to hear it.

in a word

She didn't respond.

"This little girl really doesn't look like a girl."

Mother Chen looked at the petite body that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help complaining.

She turned her head and looked at her husband, who was ignoring this, just silently picking up vegetables at the dinner table.

Suddenly I was out of breath.

Syllable!

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat!"

"Oh, what are you doing!"

"Look at what your daughter has been spoiled by you?!"

"The child's family, you just let her go, why do you care so much."

"You-my mother fought with you!!"

Bang bang.

Time.

The sound of pots and pans clashing kept ringing from inside the house.

For all this.

Chen Angelica, who was far away, didn't know.

She followed the path in front of her house all the way down.

Soon came to the entrance of the village, where she and her friends gather on weekdays.

"I didn't lie to you, I really saw a little female ghost last night!"

At this time.

The open space at the entrance of the village.

Four or five half-grown boys were in a circle, and in the middle stood a slightly older boy.

"I was sleeping."

"In a daze, I heard a clicking sound outside."

The boy's expression was solemn.

While talking, he danced with his hands, attracting the attention of the boys around him.

"I opened my eyes and looked."

"Then I saw a figure flash over the wall of my house."

"The figure was very fast, I didn't see what she looked like, I just remembered that she had two pigtails on the top of her head."

I got out of bed and walked to the window to find out.

"And guess what?"

Hear here.

The pupils of the children dilated, and they didn't dare to breathe, just looked at the boy intently, waiting for the rest of the story.

"I opened the window and stuck my head out to look."

"Outside, there's no one."

"Just when I thought what I saw before was a hallucination, and I was about to close the window and continue sleeping."

"Smack!"

"A head with pigtails on its head suddenly sticks out in front of me!"

When the story is at its best.

All the children just felt their hearts lifted.

Both legs couldn't help but start shaking.

But a strong curiosity drove them to keep listening.

"Were you scared?"

One of the children asked nervously.

Face the doubts.

I saw the boy who told the story with his head raised, and his nostrils looked like they were about to reach the sky.

"Of course not."

"I'll punch it right away, and then I'll kill that little female ghost!"

Wow!

Time

The children who listened to the story had their eyes lit up and looked at him with adoration.

But at this moment.

A figure with two pigtails, also in small braids, suddenly jumped into the crowd and shouted.

"Hah! The pigtailed female ghost is here! ”

"Ah!!!h

The sudden appearance of Angelica Chen.

It scared all the children, including the boy who told the story.

Screams instantly echoed over the village.

Many children even sat directly on the ground, wailing and crying.

In the house not far away, heads poked out to look this way.

Seeing that it was just a play among children, the adults retracted their heads and continued to do their own thing.

"Angelica Chen, are you sick?"

"If you do this again, we won't play with you next time!"

Then.

The mood of the children gradually calmed down.

When he found that Chen Angelica, who was the culprit, was standing in place and snickering.

Annoyed and angry, they quickly surrounded them and stretched out their arms to accuse.

"Slightly."

however

Chen Angelica was not afraid at all, but stuck out his tongue and continued to provoke.

"I can't get used to you talking big every day!"

Chen Angelica crossed his hands on his hips and raised his head high, like a rooster that had been winning.

And her status among these children is indeed the same.

Relying on the strong physique brought by awakening to become a qi sensitive, Chen Angelica is a god-like existence among his peers in Datian Village, and even among older children.

merely

Because of Chen Angelica's girlish identity.

These boys who have been beaten violently can only be said to be unconvinced.

I can't beat you.

But I just don't accept you.

"Why do you say I'm talking big!"

"Maybe you've never seen anything unusual, so you're jealous of me."

The boy who had told the story earlier said with a red face.

Saying,

I saw that his eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Like a monkey who wants to do bad things.

"Chen Angelica is really not ashamed, if he doesn't know it, he knows that he is jealous of others."

He grimaced and constantly provoked Chen Angelica.

"Who do you say you haven't seen!"

Chen Angelica's eyes widened.

The reason why she dared to say that this boy was talking big.

It's because the little female ghost that the other party saw was actually her wandering around the village in the middle of the night.

And at the end of the story, it's not at all that the boy punches the female ghost.

The moment Chen Angelica popped out of his head, the boy was directly stunned.

She couldn't get used to the other party's big words, so she naturally wanted to stop the other party.

"I just went up the mountain with my father today to collect medicine, and something strange happened."

"I saw that Lord Yamagami was angry!"

"A lot of animals were scared and ran around, so my dad and I came back early."

Chen Angelica is unwilling to be branded as uninformed.

Ota Village, which has been inhabited by mountains since ancient times, has been rumored to be a mountain god.

It reminds me of the strange situation when I went up the mountain in the afternoon.

Chen Angelica took it for granted that it was the mountain god who was angry.

however

The boy had already made up his mind to embarrass Angelica Chen, so naturally he wouldn't believe it.

He learned from the previous Chen Angelica, sticking out his tongue and constantly provoking.

"Shame, shame."

"Chen Angelica is jealous of others, makes up nonsense, and has a big tongue."

The other boys also began to follow suit, constantly coaxing Chen Angelica.

No matter how Chen Angelica explained, they all turned a deaf ear.

Such a method can be called an excellent means of quarreling.

Minutes can make people's minds explode.

"Ahhh I'm!! ”

Sure enough.

Chen Angelica's face turned red.

In a fit of rage.

She chose to defend her dignity by force.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Whoa, whoa!!"

About ten seconds later.

The boys lay on the ground and wept.

"You're waiting for me!"

"I'll get a picture of the mountain god soon, and I'll scare you to death when the time comes!"

Chen Angelica clapped his palms, threw down only a word, and went home without looking back.

Rain on someone's parade!

She doesn't want to play with this group of friends anymore!

——

It's night.

At the foot of the mountain.

Trample!

A petite body stumbled on the wall and leaped towards the next wall.

"Humph!"

"Don't believe me yet!"

"I have to take a picture of the mountain god for you to see!"

Chen Angelica's face was full of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

The young Chen Angelica thought that he already had the mind to be not inferior to adults.

The reason why she walks on the wall and doesn't walk.

There is a valid reason for that.

Because it's handsome!

Chen Angelica has been very fond of martial arts since he was a child.

once begged her father to send her to Kyoto to practice martial arts with her brother.

After awakening to become a qi sensitive, this thought became even stronger.

It's a pity,

Chen's mother has a traditional concept and doesn't want her to do something like a girl to do something like dancing with knives and guns.

At home, Chen's mother's status cannot be shaken.

Although Chen's father dotes on his daughter, he is also more than willing to do it.

But Chen Angelica is not someone who will give up easily.

She remembered that her brother once said that those martial artists who are so powerful and powerful will have a kind of martial arts called breathing.

If you can learn the movements and breathing of animals, you will be able to make your body strong.

And so.

In many nights.

Chen Angelica, who is dedicated to martial arts, will choose to enter the periphery of the mountain.

Find a way to need some small animals sleeping in the nest and learn martial arts from them.

In time.

Chen Angelica also made a lot of "friends"

Woohoo!

The sturdy figure jumped from wall to wall.

Driven by a child, it has the strength and physique of an adult male.

Not to mention the agility that is three times that of ordinary people.

made her performance far beyond ordinary people.

Not much.

Chen Angelica has already entered the mountains.

"It's cold."

Feel the cold wind blowing across your face.

Chen Angelica tightened his coat and couldn't help muttering.

The further you go into the mountains, the colder it may become.

Come to think of it.

She couldn't help but feel a hint of retreat in her heart.

But soon,

The girl's stubbornness completely dispelled this retreat.

"No way!"

"I'm going to have to take pictures to show them!"

Chen Angelica clenched his little fists and secretly cheered himself on.

Follow the mountain road all the way up.

Chen Angelica successfully came to the forest where he and his father were collecting medicine in the afternoon.

At night, the forest is particularly deep and quiet.

In the darkness around them, only the light emitted by the fireflies kept flickering.

It looks like a pair of eyes, secretly observing Chen Angelica.

When he first came here, Chen Angelica was quickly frightened by the strange atmosphere in the dense forest and turned back to the village.

But she wasn't discouraged by this, and came here again and again.

Until now,

It's already a familiar road.

For ordinary people, the darkness of not seeing the five fingers is just a piece of cake for Chen Angelica.

"Xiaobai."

Keep moving along the route in your memory.

Chen Angelica lowered his voice and kept calling.

Not much.

There was a sound of rustling in the darkness.

Something seems to be approaching fast.

The voice is heard.

Chen Angelica was not surprised.

"Xiaobai!"

She quickly crouched down.

At the same time, he took out the chopped carrot from his bulging coat pocket and placed it in front of him.

soon

A few white figures came to Chen Angelica.

There were a few bunnies.

They are also friends of Angelica Chen.

"Eat slowly."

As soon as the little rabbits arrived, they couldn't wait to run low to the radish cubes on the ground.

The long whisker next to his mouth fluttered rapidly.

Seeing his friends eating happily, Chen Angelica also felt happy.

"I'll ask you."

"This afternoon, is it that Lord Mountain God is angry, which is why so many animals escape?"

Wait until the radish is finished.

Chen Angelica even said with a gesture and asked about the mountain god.

She had already secretly brought her father's mobile phone with her, and when she was about to see the mountain god, she secretly took a few photos from afar.

Then take it back to the village to show off!

however

The rabbits looked at Chen Angelica, who was dancing, and just tilted their heads slightly.

Obviously, it was completely impossible to understand what she meant.

Until Chen Angelica stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the depths of the mountain, and at the same time raised his foot, which seemed to have a tendency to prepare to go.

A few rabbits hurriedly grabbed her and grabbed her trouser legs with their mouths.

Chen Angelica was afraid of hurting them, so he didn't dare to make a big move for a while.

"Is it really that dangerous?"

Pull for a long time.

Seeing the performance of the little rabbits, Chen Angelica also seemed a little hesitant.

She's just a kid after all.

Although it is human nature to die.

But so is the fear of death.

Maybe it was because she understood her doubts.

Several of the little rabbits were even facing upwards with their tongues exposed.

Meaning,

will die.

"Okay then."

See this,

Chen Angelica was also a little scared.

She eventually gave up on the idea of taking pictures of the mountain god.

As for being ridiculed by the village friends

A few more fights, and they should be honest.

"Thank you."

Thinking of this,

Chen Angelica squatted down again and stroked the bodies of the little rabbits.

"Let's go, let's practice."

Subsequently.

Chen Angelica got up and walked towards her secret base.

She has always felt that she should be a martial arts wizard.

Maybe one day, I will be able to learn what kind of breathing method I have no teacher.

She had even chosen a name for this breathing method in advance.

It's called Rabbit's Breath!

Come to think of it.

On Chen Angelica's round face, not only a smile appeared.

She believed that her mother would agree to go to Kyoto to learn martial arts with her brother.

Thinking so,

She prepares to take the rabbits to her secret base.

A few minutes later.

Chen Angelica stopped.

Not far in front of her, another dark hole opened.

It was a cave that she and her father stumbled upon while they were going up the mountain to collect medicine.

It seems to have been created by our ancestors and has been abandoned for a long time.

therefore

Father and daughter often use the cave as a temporary resting place.

The cave also has some food and supplies stored in case of emergency.

In the past, they would use hay and dead branches to cover the hole before leaving, so that no animals could enter it.

But now,

By the moonlight overhead.

Chen Angelica saw clearly.

The branches and leaves of the hay that had been used to cover the entrance of the cave had been pulled aside.

At the entrance of the cave, there are several huge footprints.

！！！

Looking at those few footprints, Chen Angelica's breath couldn't help but stagnate.

His ears twitched slightly.

After listening closely, I could hear the faint sound of breathing in the depths of the cave.

But she doesn't think that the creatures in the cave are weak because of the faint sound of breathing.

Her father had told her.

If you happen to hear some extremely faint movements on the mountain, it is not necessarily a small animal passing by.

There is another possibility, where the apex predators are there.

Judging by the footprints at the entrance of the cave.

apparently

The creatures in the cave have nothing to do with the word "small animals" in any way.

Come to think of it.

Chen Angelica only felt that his heart was beating wildly.

She subconsciously held her breath as she stepped out of her feet and slowly retreated towards the rear.

Chen Angelica's movements were very slow.

Also very careful.

For fear of making a slight movement, disturbing the creatures in the cave.

One meter.

Two meters.

Five meters.

As the distance gradually closes.

The heart that was beating wildly gradually stabilized.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment.

Chen Angelica suddenly felt a warm and moist feeling in his shoulders and wrists.

She looked down.

Maybe it's because the creatures in the cave are too terrifying.

I saw that the little white rabbit who was originally held by her was trembling constantly.

The warm and moist feeling came from beneath him.

Along with it, there was a strong fishy smell.

The cold breeze of the night blows gently.

The smell quickly spread to all directions.

！！！

The heartbeat, which had been stabilized with great difficulty, accelerated again.

Swish!

Without the slightest hesitation.

When the strange noise in the cave comes to your ears.

Chen Angelica couldn't care about keeping quiet anymore, and turned around and rushed out directly.

Roar!!!!

But she had just run a short distance.

The roar that shook the sky sounded in the mountains and forests.

"Daddy!"

"Mom!!"

Even if it's a gas sensitive.

But Chen Angelica is a little girl after all.

As soon as she heard the voice behind her, she was so frightened that she was left without a master, and she cried out again and again.

——

Inside Ota Village.

Roar –

A faint roar reached the village.

Time

The village, which was originally pitch black, suddenly lit up with lights.

"What's going on?"

"There's a beast coming down?!"

Father Chen sat up directly from the bed.

He first comforted Chen's mother, who was a little panicked, for the first time.

Generally speaking

The roar of animals of this level can only be found by fierce beasts in the deep mountains.

Ota Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

This is rare, but it cannot be said that it is completely absent.

Therefore, a series of measures have been taken to deal with it.

"I'll go see Angelica."

"Don't be afraid, someone will fix it."

Ota Village is not very primitive.

Therefore, there is also a garrison in the village.

These ordinary civilians, as long as they honestly close the doors and windows and wait for the garrison to solve it.

Saying,

Chen's father fumbled with his mobile phone at the bedside, ready to turn on the flashlight and go to his daughter's room.

Well?

however

But it was empty.

Father Chen's heart suddenly chuckled.

A strong uneasiness rose in the bottom of my heart.

He didn't say anything, just quickly got out of bed and walked towards Chen Angelica's door.

Bang.

"Angelica!"

The door was quickly pushed open.

Chen's father quickly walked to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt.

When looking at the penguin doll lying alone on the bed.

His heart,

Sink to the bottom in an instant.

Five minutes later.

Inside Ota Village.

There was an uproar.

"Angelica!"

"Angelica!"

Torches and oil lamps roamed the village in groups.

The shouts came and went.

——

"Woo wow wow !!"

In the middle of the jungle.

Chen Angelica was crying while fleeing for his life in a panic.

however

Even though she had used all her strength to feed, the sound of heavy footsteps behind her was getting closer and closer.

Chen Angelica has not been clear until now, what exactly is chasing him.

She was so frightened that she peed her pants, where did she dare to look back.

I ran for most of the day.

It stands to reason that Chen Angelica has already caught up.

But for some reason,

Whenever the footsteps behind him got closer and closer, Chen Angelica thought that he was about to die.

Then the footsteps will be slowed down.

And whenever Chen Angelica feels that he is about to lose his ability to run,

Behind her, a roar would sound again, constantly stimulating her desire to survive.

And each time the roar comes from a different direction.

It's like. The beast behind her, like a cat and a mouse, was driving her in a certain direction.

It's a pity,

Chen Angelica's heart has long been filled with fear.

There's no time to think about it.

She could only run away numbly, mechanically.

——

Meanwhile.

Deep in the mountains.

Chen Sheng sat shirtless on the bank of the river.

The cold wind of the winter night blows through his body, constantly moving away the dryness of his body.

On the sparkling river, freshly changed clothes float on the water.

A whirlpool gradually builds, causing the laundry to rotate continuously, like a drum washing machine, to clear the dirt on the laundry.

There is also foam rising from the water.

Wash clothes with the ability of Xuan Ming Zhenwu.

Chen Sheng can be called the first person in ancient times.

Afternoon

After he successfully broke through the Xuanming True Martial Arts, he continued to cultivate until now before stopping.

The results have been remarkable.

【Chen Sheng】

[Strength: 461]

[Dexterity: 473]

[Constitution: 478]

[Skill Points: 291]

Now, his three attributes have increased by forty points again, and he is steadily advancing towards the five hundred point mark.

It's just a day and a night's work.

His attributes have been fully doubled.

Such a speed of progress also made Chen Sheng's original anxious mood and relaxed a little.

He stretched out his arm to the bright moon in the night sky.

Syllable!

The palm of his hand clenched suddenly, and the air was instantly pinched and exploded.

As if to hold the bright moon in the palm of his hand.

Chen Sheng pondered.

If he continues to be strong.

Will one day be able to truly be like the characters in mythological stories?

Between conversations, the mountains and rivers change color.

In a flash, the sun and the moon turn upside down.

Perhaps only by reaching this level.

Only then can he truly be invincible in the world.

Come to think of it.

Chen Sheng got up slowly.

Come to the river, scoop up the washed laundry from the river and dry it on a twig.

Do it all.

After extinguishing the bonfire, Chen Sheng prepared to go back to the tent to sleep, and get up tomorrow to continue practicing.

"Wow-"

But at this moment.

His ears twitched slightly.

The sound of the girl's crying came faintly from a long distance.

At least a few kilometers away.

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The next second.

His form simply disappeared in place.

——

"Ho-"

In the mountains and forests.

Chen Angelica's speed has become slower and slower.

Thump!

She fell directly to the ground and rolled several times in a row.

Trample.

Trample.

Footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Chen Angelica buried his head in the soil and didn't even dare to lift it.

She could even hear the thick, steady breath getting closer.

The scorching airflow, accompanied by the exhalation and inhalation of the beast, kept blowing her hair.

ultimately

The sound of footsteps settled beside him.

Chen Angelica's body trembled violently.

The next second.

Roar!!!!

The deafening roar exploded directly in the ears.

"Whoa, whoa—"

Chen Angelica cried again.

The beast grabbed her young body with its claws and turned it over.

This time,

Chen Angelica finally saw what the beast chasing after him looked like.

A pair of bright yellow pupils with obvious banter are the first to come into view.

Moonlight spills down on the trees.

Illuminates the black and white markings on the beast's body.

It was a huge tiger.

The moment you see each other.

Chen Angelica only felt an endless chill that instantly enveloped her body.

The blood seemed to freeze.

She didn't even have the strength to cry.

Her whole body froze directly in place, staring at the white tiger in front of her motionless like a puppet.
