When he heard the voice behind him, Qinchuan abruptly turned around and took a step forward, shielding Lü Zi behind him. He stared vigilantly at the figure in white who had appeared behind them at some point in time. His expression was extremely solemn!
He had clearly unleashed all his senses earlier, but he hadn't sensed anyone behind him!
Lü Zi glanced at Qinchuan, who was shielding her, and a touch of emotion appeared in her eyes. She reached out and gently tugged at Qinchuan's clothes. She said to Qinchuan, "I know her. Let me do it."
Qinchuan looked back at Lü Zi with some confusion. Lü Zi actually knew this person?
"Bai Yuu, I'm Lü Zi."
Lü Zi took a step forward and forced a smile at the figure in white. "We rushed over because we heard the cries of the mountain ghosts. We have no ill intentions."
Qinchuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard how Lü Zi addressed the figure in white. So this person was the person that Lü Zi had warned him not to provoke no matter what!
Bai Yuu, who was wearing a long white dress, slowly took two steps forward. Her gray eyes looked indifferently at Qinchuan and Lü Zi. After a long time, she said indifferently, "I know."
Looking at Bai Yuu, who was clearly much shorter than her, Lü Zi felt like she was being looked down upon by Bai Yuu. She was completely suppressed in terms of aura.
She forced a smile at Bai Yuu and said, "Since you're fine, we won't disturb you."
"You can go. He, stay."
Bai Yuu didn't ask Lü Zi to stay, but her gaze was locked onto Qinchuan.
Qinchuan frowned slightly. "I don't think I've seen you before, nor have I provoked you."
"There are some things I want to ask you." Bai Yuu was expressionless, as if she didn't want to say anything.
"Then let's stay together."
Lü Zi gently tugged on Qinchuan's sleeve, indicating that Qinchuan should not say anything and follow her instructions.
Thus, the three of them returned to the bonfire and looked at the mountain ghost that was no longer breathing on the ground. Qinchuan and Lü Zi still felt that it was a little unreal. How could such a strange and powerful mountain ghost be so easily dealt with?
Just how terrifying was this Bai Yuu's strength?
Bai You sat in front of the bonfire and stared coldly at Qinchuan. She said, "You're injured. You were injured by a mountain ghost."
Qinchuan was slightly stunned and asked, "How do you know?"
"I smell the blood of a mountain ghost on you." Bai Yuu gave a simple explanation and said, "I want that green bead."
Qinchuan and Lü Zi understood when they heard Bai Yuu's last sentence. Bai Yuu didn't really want to ask Qinchuan anything. She had her eyes on the green bead in Qinchuan's backpack!
"May I ask what this bead is used for?"
Although Bai Yuu's attitude was very displeasing, Qinchuan didn't want to make a move against Bai Yuu if it wasn't necessary.
Bai Yuu was silent for a moment in response to Qinchuan's question, and then she said, "It's useless to you, but it's useful to me. Just treat it as … I owe you a favor."
Qinchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He took a deep look at Bai Yuu, who was unwilling to explain further, and didn't continue to ask. He simply took out the green bead from his backpack and tossed it to Bai Yuu. "Then I'll give it to you."
Bai Yuu was slightly stunned when she saw Qinchuan give the bead to her so easily. Then she put it away very carefully and said to Qinchuan, "Thank you."
"No need …"
"Okay, you can go."
Before Qinchuan could finish his polite words, Bai Yuu had already ordered them to leave. Qinchuan looked at Bai Yuu's cold expression with some astonishment and was completely stunned.
He had seen people who got rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness, but he had never seen someone get rid of it so quickly!
It wasn't until they were far away from the bonfire that Qinchuan came back to his senses and said angrily to Lü Zi, "This Bai Yuu, she just got the benefits and she's already chasing us away. She's too heartless!"
"I really want to stay away from her," Lü Zi saw Qinchuan's unhappy expression and smiled, "There's too much pressure when I'm with her."
Qinchuan nodded in agreement. Lü Zi was right. Qinchuan felt uncomfortable all over when he was sitting face to face with Bai Yuu. The pressure was quite great.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Bai Yuu was definitely the most dangerous person Qinchuan had ever seen among his peers!
"This Bai Yuu was actually able to easily deal with a mountain ghost, and she didn't look like she was injured. I really don't know how she did it."
Qinchuan sighed with emotion. They were both facing a mountain ghost, yet he and Lü Zi had almost lost their lives when they joined forces. However, Bai Yuu handled it with ease and ease. Comparisons were simply infuriating.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Qinchuan and Lü Zi set off on their journey once more. However, Qinchuan didn't let Lü Zi carry him on her back this time. Instead, he started to travel on his own.
The two of them walked forward for around 200 meters before they suddenly saw a demon beast lying on the ground in the grass. This shocked Qinchuan and Lü Zi because they actually didn't notice the demon beast's existence beforehand!
After all, they were less than 10 meters away from the demon beast at this moment!
"Wait!"
Qin Chuan glanced at the demonic beast lying in the grass and frowned, "This demonic beast is dead!"
As he spoke, Qinchuan had already slowly walked over to the demon beast's side. Based on its outward appearance, the demon beast was completely normal, and there were no obvious injuries on its body. However, Qinchuan saw a thumb sized bloody hole on the demon beast's head when he pried open the hair on its head!
"This demon beast probably just died not too long ago."
Lü Zi tested the demon beast's temperature, and it was still quite warm. Obviously, it hadn't been dead for too long.
"How did this demonic beast die?"
Lü Zi was slightly puzzled. She raised her eyes to glance at Qinchuan, yet she noticed that Qinchuan had an extremely strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Qinchuan took a deep breath and said to Lü Zi, "If I'm not wrong, someone probably used a special method to forcefully remove the demon core on its head, and that's why it died!"
Lü Zi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this. Forcefully removing the demon core before the demon beast was killed?
Is this really something that a human can do?!
"Do you still remember that mountain ghost from last night?
At that time, Bai Yuu was nearby, so we didn't carefully examine the mountain ghost's corpse. But now, I seem to know how Bai Yuu killed that mountain ghost. "
Qinchuan turned around and glanced deeply at Lü Zi, "That green pearl is probably equivalent to the demon core of that demon beast!"
It was extremely likely that the person who killed that demon beast was Bai Yuu!
