Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

A dozen or so pairs of shoes were distributed at different heights and positions, some close to the ground and some slightly higher, with uneven spacing, but the overall distribution covered a large area in front of them.

There are so many.

interesting.

Chen Nian steadied himself, gripped the Miao sword again, and scanned the nearest pair of eyes to the farthest pair, roughly estimating the number and spacing.

Waiting for them to surround us is too passive.

It's time to take the initiative.

As the ice membrane, which leaves no trace in the snow, spread out, Chen Nian took two steps forward, cutting along a slightly left-leaning path to the location of the nearest pair of pupils.

With the aid of the ice membrane, her speed increased rapidly. While those pupils were still in their current positions, she had already approached the closest pair, which was about three meters away.

Those eyes had already clearly seen what the strange thing was as she approached.

The complete form of those two eyes was a bizarre creature, smaller than the previous Licker, with a body more humanoid, slender limbs, and fingertips without horny protrusions, but covered with a smooth, dark film, like an outer layer tightly attached to the bones.

Just to be on the safe side, I'll kill a few first and then try to use these strange pressures to help my cultivation.

Without any hesitation, Chen Nian slashed down with her sword.

The blade fell swiftly, tracing a short arc in the dark red light, directly slicing towards the point where the strange torso and limbs were connected.

It reacted the instant the blade approached, turning its body slightly to the side to avoid the direct cutting path, but the blade tip still grazed its side, leaving a shallow, long cut.

The dark membrane at the incision site rolled up, revealing a layer of light gray tissue underneath, with no fluid seeping out.

After being hit, it did not retreat immediately, but instead moved to the side a short distance, with a shorter trajectory than the previous individual, as if it quickly adjusted its position after being attacked to avoid being hit repeatedly.

Then, the strange creature began to fight back.

Chen Nian anticipated the direction of its counterattack the instant it shifted. Instead of retreating, she took a step to the side and forward, cutting in just as it adjusted its position and was about to launch an attack. She changed her grip on the Miao sword from horizontal to vertical, aiming it at the center of its torso.

The blade tip pierced in a strange way, before the creature could even react.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest and then I went straight to the Western Paradise.

It turned to dust and disappeared from Chen Nian's sight.

One is missing, but there are still more than a dozen.

Chen Nian did not stop fighting and continued to charge towards the second strange creature.

Meanwhile, the other strange creatures also gathered around.

It seems there's no time to deal with the other lone anomalies; we need to directly confront these dozen or so.

After confirming that the encirclement formation had taken shape, Chen Nian did not continue to pursue the scattered individuals, but stopped and stood in the center of the encirclement.

She adjusted her grip on the Miao sword from a straight grip to a horizontal grip, keeping the blade at waist height with the tip slightly pointing outwards. Then she quickly looked around to check the spacing and evenness of the encirclement.

She didn't wait for them to continue gathering.

After confirming the circular distribution, she took a step in the direction with the largest spacing, and at the same time, she changed her grip on the knife from horizontal to diagonal, with the tip pointing slightly to the left in front.

The closest of the strange creatures reacted as she took a step, launching a sneak attack from behind, which Chen Nian couldn't see.

However, Chen Nian had already guessed that something strange would launch a sneak attack from behind, so she had taken precautions in advance.

The ice vines blocked the strange attack from behind immediately.

She herself rushed towards one of the strange creatures.

"when!"

The Miao sword directly clashed with the strange creature in front of it.

But this wave of strange creatures seems to have become smarter. The strange creature directly in front of Chen Nian is not good at fighting, but rather at defending and confronting.

In this wave, Chen Nian not only failed to gain any advantage, but her fighting rhythm was also disrupted.

This tiny problem led her to face more than a dozen bizarre attacks.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of impacts rang out around her.

Chen Nian's ice vine protective shield shattered instantly.

Chen Nian was immediately put in danger.

The strange creatures moved toward the center simultaneously the instant the ice vines shattered, their movements more coordinated than before, like a group that had already encircled the enemy and was executing the final closing step.

Chen Nian did not stop as the ice vines shattered. She changed her grip on the Miao sword from a regular grip to a reverse grip, and the blade slashed horizontally along the side of her body, forming a continuous cutting trajectory as she turned, covering an area of ​​about one meter around her in the path of the blade's movement.

She didn't stop moving and continued to turn around. After turning around, she readjusted the angle of her grip on the knife, changing from a reverse grip to a regular grip. The tip of the knife drew a horizontal arc about an arm's length in front of her, covering the space in front of her after turning around.

After being briefly forced back by the cutting trajectory, the strange creatures readjusted their positions, dispersing from multiple directions that had surrounded them, and reforming a slightly larger ring formation than before.

Fortunately, this wave has been weathered.

Chen Nian was not harmed, but she was in a predicament.

Under these circumstances, her speed in refining elixirs increased exponentially.

"kill!"

Chen Nian, blinded by rage, launched another counterattack.

One cut, another cut, and yet another.

In just a few minutes, Chen Nian fought against these strange creatures hundreds of times.

Meanwhile, the golden core within her body was rapidly taking shape.

Chen Nian kept enduring, even though she was covered in wounds, she still didn't choose to run away in advance, because she knew.

I'm like Pinduoduo right now, I need to cut a price.

But she didn't know exactly when that final blow came.

We can only increase the base number as much as possible.

Fortunately, although Chen Nian looked badly injured, she only had superficial wounds.

Chen Nian, who possesses a non-Newtonian body like a slime, did not suffer severe injuries.

The reason these wounds haven't healed is mainly because she doesn't know if there are any strange entities watching her from within this eerie realm.

If I had known she was so calm and collected, I would have known.

They'll definitely pull some other tricks again.

Chen Nian maintained her appearance of being seriously injured, deliberately increasing her breathing and slowing her pace slightly.

As she swung her knife again, a ripple suddenly appeared in the area of ​​her body that had been compressed.

Chen Nian condensed that thing into a sphere.

It was not a ball at all; it was a behemoth the size of a lead ball.

At this moment, the lead ball is shining with a golden light.

Chen Nian, who possessed inner vision, thought she was seeing the sun.

And his aura continued to rise at this moment.

Sequence six, done!
