The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Normally, she would have picked a few clever foxes to run off with.

But not now.

Aunt Hu glanced anxiously at the black pool beside her.

It had a premonition that it would be able to establish a connection with Him in a little while.

That ruler of the underworld.

Although He still wouldn't look at me with His gaze, I could at least gain a little bit of His power.

That should be enough.

At least, it's enough to deal with that girl who's overestimating herself and trying to climb the mountain.

It stared coldly at the black pool.

"Go and bring all those who have been captured here, and also call all the foxes hiding in the mountains. I have a use for them," Fox Girl said after a moment's thought.

"Hurry, before she finds this place."

Upon hearing Hu Gu's words, the fox demon lowered its head in fear, but still did as it was told.

"The road up the mountain should be able to hold that girl off for a while. Take advantage of this time to establish contact with her. If all else fails, send out all these lingering spirits that have been accumulating for so long," Aunt Hu murmured to herself, a hint of excitement on her aged face.

"To dispel falsehoods...is readily available."

Volume 1: Chapter 65, Beautiful and Powerful

Bai Qian was indeed not very familiar with the path up the mountain.

Or rather, the mountain path was quite complicated. Even though it felt like we weren't far from the summit, we walked for a long time without getting any closer.

It doesn't look like there's any kind of maze.

Bai Qian could easily navigate a maze, but if it was just a simple, complex path...

It would be faster to just chisel through the mountain, but unfortunately she can't do that right now.

He paused for a moment, gazing at the mountaintop and pondering what to do next.

My head suddenly tilted to the side, and I caught a glimpse of a fox trying to sneak past me.

The fox was startled by those sudden, dark eyes and nearly flew away, trying to escape immediately.

A branch flew by and pinned its body to the ground.

Bai Qian squatted down next to it and poked its head with her finger.

The fox couldn't pretend to be dead even if it wanted to.

"Speak." The cold, crisp voice instilled fear in people involuntarily.

Judging from this person alone, the only impression is that he is good-looking, better-looking than all the others who were captured and brought up the mountain before. He would definitely be a good candidate for a human form.

But think about what she just did.

In her eyes, people she has a good relationship with, people she doesn't have a good relationship with, elders, and juniors are all probably the same—it's all the same thing, just a matter of slapping someone.

Compared to them, she fits people's definition of a demon better.

"If you don't talk, you'll die." It was still that clear and pleasant voice.

What are you trying to tell me?

“I will speak,” the fox could only say tremblingly.

How do we get to the top of the mountain?

"Just keep following this road and you'll get up there."

"I've walked it three times."

"...It really is this road." The ancestor hadn't set up any illusions.

Bai Qian quietly looked at the fox on the ground, pierced by tree branches.

"Are you also going to the mountaintop?"

The fox paused for a moment, sensing those clear eyes.

"Our ancestor told me to go and bring those people who were captured from the mountain back to him."

"where?"

The fox was considering whether or not to speak.

"I understand," it heard the girl say calmly, a golden glint in her eyes.

As the hand patted down, the fox's head drooped, its internal organs twisted into a knot inside its body.

-----

Xu Su squatted in the dimly lit cage, looking at her surroundings, smelling the faint scent of blood and decay, and felt a little nauseous.

Or rather, it wasn't just her stomach anymore; her whole body was in so much pain that she wanted to die immediately.

I should say, why not just let yourself die?

All the others who were captured are dead, and the fox demons don't know why they captured me.

They locked them up and fed them simple, even moldy, food.

Even though the environment is simple, there is still some hope if there are a group of people.

Perhaps the government will send someone to rescue them.

Then, one night, a fox spirit quietly sneaked in.

It ate most of the people here.

According to the fox that came later, the fox demon had gotten hungry in the middle of the night and sneaked over to eat.

It was then that Xu Su realized that perhaps no one would come to save them.

Everyone else is dead, and she's all alone now.

They were either eaten or died from disease.

Should I be glad that I have such a strong will to live, or should I lament that I have such a strong will to live that I'm still alive?

After all, being alive is worse than being dead.

She leaned quietly against the cage, which was made of wood and was not very sturdy, but to her it was so sturdy that it made her feel hopeless.

It's probably because no matter how hard I try, I can't break through?

There were two people before, but today I'm all alone. The other one didn't wake up this morning.

I don't think I can hold on for much longer.

Come to think of it, I didn't see those foxes today.

Maybe they've stopped caring because so many people have died here?

Thinking about this, Xu Su wondered if she should take a nap.

After a good night's sleep, you might just fall asleep without having to think about these random things anymore.

While I was still pondering this, I heard hurried footsteps.

Or perhaps it should be described as the sound of wild animals running.

A fox, about half a person's height, hurriedly ran into the cave. Xu Su recognized it; it was the same fox that had eaten everyone before.

It suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and without saying a word, ate most of the people. The remaining people were so frightened that they all died of illness before long.

Now they've come here, perhaps still to eat people?

Thinking this, Xu Su made no move.

"Eat it if you want," Xu Su said, without any reaction.

After the fox demon ran over, it first glanced at Xu Su with its scarlet beast eyes, and then pounced on the corpse in the cage next to it.

They ate the corpse without any hesitation or restraint.

Xu Su frowned as she looked at the fox demon's hurried appearance.

That's such an unseemly way to eat. You're in such a hurry, even though no one's going to take it from you.

It devoured the person who had just died of illness this morning and placed its eerie beastly eyes on Xu Su.

Although Xu Su's heart was pounding, she was indeed quite scared. Who isn't afraid of death, especially being eaten alive like this?

But it's better to be dead now than to be left here to suffer.

So she suppressed her fear and exchanged a glance with the fox demon.

In the end, under those hungry eyes, he carefully withdrew his gaze.

As it casually pried open the cage, Xu Su could even smell the pungent stench of blood emanating from it.

I said I wasn't afraid, but a trace of fear still rose in my heart. It's impossible not to be afraid of death; I can only say that I forced myself to be afraid for the sake of face.

As it got closer, Xu Su could clearly see the blood and chunks of meat stuck between its teeth.

My legs trembled involuntarily twice.

I'm still scared.

A suffocating fear overwhelmed one's thoughts.

Xu Su watched it slowly approach.

The crisp sound of footsteps suddenly reached my ears, unlike the wild, frenzied footsteps of the fox demon.

The approaching fox demon stopped.

Xu Su noticed fear in its gaze.

Although it's not clear, it must be fear.

This was the first time she had ever seen such an emotion in the eyes of these wild beasts.

"Why did she come here?" the fox demon muttered to herself.

I hurriedly turned my head and glanced around, but couldn't find another exit.

To prevent those captured from escaping, the cave has only one exit.

The footsteps grew closer, and Xu Su finally recognized who it was.

The black-haired girl in red was a bit short but very pretty. Even though she was some distance away, Xu Su could tell that her face was indeed beautiful, or rather, excessively cute.

If it weren't for those drops of blood.

The white clothes were stained red with blood, and drops of blood dripped from her cheeks.

Those eyes seemed to devour a person's soul.

Is it a human?

Xu Su still had this question in her mind. After all, were there really people on this mountain full of demons? How did she get here?

Unlike Xu Su, the fox demon felt a chill run down its spine as it watched the girl slowly approaching.

As it pondered what to do, it fixed its gaze on Xu Su beside it.

Xu Su felt the fox demon's gaze upon her, and her heart skipped a beat.

She was caught off guard when the fox demon suddenly pounced on her.

Her mouth opened slightly, but ultimately she closed it again.

They also did not intend to resist.

If you're destined to die, you're destined to die.

That's what I think.

The next second, a slender, white hand appeared in Xu Su's line of sight.

He pinched the fox's throat with his fingers, and with a piercing scream, he tightened his grip.

Warm blood splattered on Xu Su's face, but she didn't care.
