My best friend and I both transmigrated to the world of cultivation; she'll take care of killin

Chapter 81 The Eight Ethereal Monsters

Tu Shan stepped forward, raised her hand and poked the man's chest, chuckling softly, "Uncle, how about you pay with your life?"

The man fell straight backward, his eyes filled with doubt, fear, and resentment until the very last moment of his life.

"boom!"

She crouched down, ignoring the surprised looks around her, and began to pluck her spoils.

After carefully putting away his robes and storage ring, he looked at the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator on the ground wearing only a pair of underpants, unleashed a wisp of flame, and left without looking back.

The onlookers were chilled to the bone as they watched the burning corpse.

Looking at the layer of ashes on the ground, a question flashed through my mind.

how did you do that?

Before anyone even saw the young girl make a move, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator was pecked to death by this weakling at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Those who were initially eager to act stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to be careless.

The unknown is frightening.

The surroundings were as quiet as a chicken's nest, and no one dared to underestimate this sickly fellow anymore, until Tu Shan staggered out of everyone's sight.

Suddenly, a sound broke the stillness of the scene.

"How...how did she do that?"

"Is she really at the fourth level of Qi Refining? Or is she some old monster in disguise?"

"I don't know if she's at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but she must be very strong."

"It can't be an old monster; her bone age is only thirteen."

"Did any of you see clearly what technique she used to kill Ma Wu?"

Upon hearing this question, some people looked blank, some shook their heads, and some seemed thoughtful.

Most people had a look of fear in their eyes, took a few steps back, and moved away from the place where Ma Wu had turned to ashes.

"Did you notice the direction she went? How dare she go that way?"

One person shouted in terror, "That's a poisonous fog zone! Even Nascent Soul cultivators can only stay in a poisonous fog zone for three days. She's just a Qi Refining cultivator, she..."

As the fear in the voice grew stronger, the people who had been backing away fled in terror, as if the chilling poisonous fog would engulf them at any moment.

Those who were bewildered or thoughtful immediately followed when they saw most people turn and flee.

If not now, when?

Soon, only three Nascent Soul stage cultivators remained among the lively onlookers.

"You Yu, aren't you leaving?"

The man with a broadsword on his back looked ahead, frowned, and asked the melancholy-looking man beside him.

"That's right, You Yu, don't hesitate anymore, or you'll become depressed!"

The loud-voiced man nudged the waist of the man named You Yu with his elbow.

A hint of worry flashed in You Yu's eyes: "Isn't she afraid? Will something happen to her? She's still so young."

"You Yu, there's no use worrying anymore. They've already left. Aren't you worrying too late? Qin Zhen, aren't you right?"

The loud voice winked and made faces at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen understood what he meant. Wang Laoba always loved to watch the excitement and was curious about the rare occurrence of a freak in Black Flame Valley.

Just like his name suggests, You Yu was always hesitant in his actions, which led to his increasingly melancholic nature.

I'm considering this one minute and that the next.

The reason Wang Laoba instigated this was simply because he felt he wasn't strong enough and wanted to drag the two of them into it so they could find out what was going on.

"Hmph, you old bastard, if you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not going, and don't drag You Yu along either."

Qin Zhen rolled his eyes, crossed his arms and didn't care at all; he wasn't interested in prying into other people's secrets anyway.

“But the little girl doesn’t know how dangerous it is ahead. If we don’t stop her, she’s doomed. She’s so young.”

You Yu murmured aloud.

Qin Zhen said helplessly, "But if we go, we'll die too. So, do you want her to die, or do you want all of us old friends to die?"

You Yu grabbed Qin Zhen's sleeve and said firmly, "This... what do we do now? I don't want her to die, and I don't want you to die either."

Qin Zhen's eyes darted around, and he teased, "Didn't that old bastard want to go? Let him go ahead and scout things out first, see what's going on with that girl. He's really curious anyway."

Wang Laoba roared, "Qin Zhen, are you crazy? How dare you send me to my death alone?"

Qin Zhen waved his hand dismissively, "You're the one who wanted to go, not me, so you're definitely going to lead the charge. You want the two of us to go and die with you? No way!"

Wang Laoba's face turned red with anger. His hand trembled as he pointed at Qin Zhen, and he roared, "Was that for myself? I was doing it for the three of us!"

Qin Zhen, unusually silent, paused for a moment before speaking calmly: "Wang Laoba, that little girl might not have a way to survive entering the poisonous fog. Let's wait a little longer. We've already waited three years, so a few more days won't hurt."

Wang Laoba knew Qin Zhen was right, but he was afraid that person wouldn't live to see him.

"But we only have three months left. If we can't find the Pure Jade Silver Frost Grass by then, he's doomed!"

"I know, but there's nothing we can do. Old Ke and Little Ke went in and never came out. Our cultivation levels are about the same as theirs, so going in would just be suicide."

"Of our Eight Eccentrics of the Misty Sky, only four remain. We can't afford to take any more risks, and he wouldn't agree to it even if he knew."

Qin Zhen lowered his eyes, concealing the sorrow within.

Yu Yu looked at this and then at that, and mustered up her courage to say, "How about we move a little in that direction, closer to the poisonous fog zone, so we can know as soon as she comes out?"

Wang Laoba and Qin Zhen exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

The three disappeared from the spot and reappeared no more than fifty meters away from Tu Shan.

[Sister Fan, there are two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and one mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator less than fifty meters behind you.]

"Yes, I know. As long as they don't take action, we'll pretend we don't know anything."

System: Knowing won't help, you can't beat them anyway.

[Sister Shan, how did that mid-stage Golden Core cultivator die? I scanned for ages but couldn't find anything.]

Tu Shan raised his right hand and looked at the five fingernails on his right hand.

"Did you find anything?"

[A soft, white hand?]

Tu Shan: Should I praise you for my fair and delicate hands and your good taste, or should I despise your carefree attitude?

"Be more careful?"

Five toenail fungus?

Tu Shan: What the hell is this nail fungus? The color of my nails is a beautiful granny gray. Are you blind?

"The color of these nails is granny gray. You're not very knowledgeable, so I won't argue with you."

System: Granny gray is also gray, it's definitely onychomycosis!

“Scan the differences carefully again, don’t just make things up.”

The system, succumbing to Tu Shan's tyranny, dared not voice any objections and instead conducted a thorough scan.

[Hmm, the middle finger is slightly darker in color, but you can't really tell unless you look closely.]

"Ha, of course, don't you know who I am?"

In her past life, Tu Shan's biggest hobby, besides making money, was doing all kinds of manicures.

She researched and designed the colors and patterns on her nails herself, and even the secrets behind the nail designs were known only to her.

Even Ji Se only knew that she had poison on her body, but did not know where it was hidden.

Of course, Gise never investigated these matters.

As far as Ji Se is concerned, as long as they are capable of protecting themselves and as long as they do not betray each other, that is all that matters.
