Chapter 377

Little Shenhe's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Father, is what you said true?"

"That's wonderful!"

The middle-aged man said nothing; he paid no heed to his daughter's cheers, instead quickening his steps.

At first, Little Shenhe could keep up with her father's pace.

But as time passed, Little Shenhe's speed gradually slowed.

After all, she was just a small child; climbing at such a speed exhausted her beyond endurance.

Little Shenhe looked up at her father and asked, "Daddy, Crane wants to sit down and rest for a while, may I?"

"Crane really cannot walk anymore."

Right now, she only wanted to sit down and rub her sore little legs.

After all, for a little girl of five or six, enduring until now was already no small feat.

Hearing this, Little Shenhe's father reached out and patted her head, then said softly:

"Little Shenhe, be good, hold on a bit longer, just a bit, we will arrive very soon!"

"Once we reach the place, you can rest for a very long time, alright?"

Though the tone was one of negotiation, Little Shenhe's father gave her no choice.

He continued pulling Little Shenhe's hand toward the back mountain.

Little Shenhe had always been an extremely obedient child.

Regarding her father's request, she was Naturally Impossible to refuse.

She could only grit her teeth and persist, continuing to climb the mountain.

She did not know why her father insisted on taking her to the back mountain, nor why he wished to waste not a moment on the journey.

What surprise on that back mountain could make her own father so impatient?

Little Shenhe could not figure it out.

Finally, after walking for a very long time, Little Shenhe's father brought her to the entrance of a cave.

However, once Little Shenhe entered the cave, she froze in place. For she saw no surprise; instead, with a flourish from her own father, a ghost-like demon suddenly appeared.

That demon radiated an extremely eerie black light from head to toe, its black skull-like body constantly emitting waves of foul stench.

The monster roared, its eyes unblinking as it stared at Little Shenhe.
