Chapter 224: Hextech · Bai Xiaochun

A bamboo house on a mountain near Hualian Village.

"Many thanks to you all for saving Xiao Gu; please, let this old man bow to you."

Licentiate Hua trembled as he prepared to kneel, but he was held up by Xuanzang using his magic power.

Xuanzang said gently:

"Xiao Gu is our friend; protecting her is naturally a matter of course."

"That's right, such a good girl like little sister Xiao Gu shouldn't be treated this way," said Bai Yuekui.

"Exactly, exactly," Bai Xiaochun chimed in.

"Wahahaha, whoever dares to bully big sister Xiao Gu, I'll beat them up."

Xiao Shi raised his arm, revealing a fist full of power.

Hearing this, Licentiate Hua burst into tears, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

Although he did not know their origins, seeing his daughter have such a group of friends made him feel very comforted.

This way, even if he were no longer around in the future, Xiao Gu could still live happily.

"Thank you, everyone."

Hua Xiaogu said with reddened eyes, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

By this time, the group had already left Lotus Village and arrived at Hua Xiaogu's residence.

"These villagers are too hateful, always bullying little sister Xiao Gu," Bai Xiaochun said indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Licentiate Hua sighed: "Actually, one cannot blame them; everyone is very afraid. Xiao Gu did indeed have strange phenomena at her birth, which made everyone anxious.

Moreover, in the last half year or so, many cattle, sheep, and some young adults have gone missing in the village, and they naturally blame it on Xiao Gu."

"When things are abnormal, there must be a demon," said Bai Yuekui.

"A demon?"

Licentiate Hua seemed to think of something and said:

"Perhaps there really is a demon. Xiao Gu was born with strange phenomena, which easily attracts demons. Years ago, the Shushan Sect Leader gave her the Yumo Brocade, which is what masked Xiao Gu's strange fragrance.

Perhaps the time is almost up, and this Yumo Brocade can no longer mask the fragrance."

"Ding, Daily Good Deed Task triggered: Find the source of the Weirdness in Hualian Village and eliminate it. Task complete: receive a random reward."

At this moment, the system made a sound again.

"..." Xuanzang was silent.

This was already the third Daily Good Deed Task. The rewards for the previous ones—taking Zhizunbao as a disciple and helping Feng Baobao fight on her behalf—had not yet been issued, and now another task had come.

Was the reward delayed? Or was the system brewing a big move?

"Ding, Team Mission triggered: Find the demon hidden in Hualian Village and slay it. Task complete: receive 10,000 team mission points."

At this moment, the five people participating in the mission also received the notification from the Chat Group.

"A mission?" Bai Xiaochun's face showed joy.

"This is interesting," said Bai Yuekui.

"Wahahaha, a demon? A non-human creature, I'm going to stew it," said Xiao Shi.

"???" Licentiate Hua.

At a nameless mountain cave ten miles away from Hualian Village, no weeds grew around the cave, and not even a living creature could be seen.

"If my Divine Sense is not mistaken, the demon is inside," said Xuanzang.

"Really, big boss Xuanzang!" Bai Xiaochun said excitedly.

"Mm," Xuanzang nodded.

With his Primordial Spirit, let alone scouting this ten-mile radius, even the entire plane would be no problem; after all, this was only a small world.

"Holy Monk Xuanzang, how strong is the demon?" Bai Yuekui asked curiously.

"Hmm, not strong; you can leave it to yourselves to solve together," said Xuanzang.

"Everyone, be careful," Hua Xiaogu stood by Xuanzang's side, her face showing a fearful expression; she looked very small and thin.

"But how do we make the demon come out on its own?" Xiao Shi asked.

"Hehe, watch me," Bai Xiaochun revealed a sly expression.

He took a dozen black Medicine Pills from his Storage Bag and said:

"Hehe, these are my secret Tear-Inducing Pills and Spicy Pills!"

"The effect is to make people, demons, and the like have their five senses disordered and lose control."

After speaking, Bai Xiaochun threw the Tear-Inducing Pills and Spicy Pills into the depths of the cave!

"Explode!"

As Bai Xiaochun's words fell, the dozen or so pills exploded violently in the dark and damp cave. Thick smoke filled the entire cave, followed by a roar filled with anger.

Boom, boom, boom!

The nameless cave shook, the earth quaked, and a giant four-legged beast rushed out.

This four-legged giant beast was about three zhang long, with two horns pointing to the sky on its head, eyes blood-red, and tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Its four claws were extremely sharp, releasing a cold light, and were long enough to split gold and shatter stone.

"It looks like a Qiongqi?"

Xiao Shi couldn't help but say when he saw this giant beast. But then, tears of disappointment flowed down the corners of his mouth!

It's all mine, it's all mine!

"This is just a mutated Demon Race with a trace of Qiongqi bloodline that has already gained intelligence; I leave it to you."

Xuanzang said, finding a rock nearby to sit on.

If it were a true Qiongqi, Xiao Shi, Bai Yuekui, and the others would certainly not be able to handle it.

But this kind of mixed-blood monster with thin bloodlines is not worth mentioning.

Seeing that the four-legged monster was so huge, Bai Xiaochun subconsciously retreated behind Bai Yuekui, Xiao Shi, and Feng Bao'er.

Although he really wanted to show off in front of others, he wanted even less to be...

"I'm going in!"

Xiao Shi leaped up, raised his arm, and slammed a punch toward the four-legged Demon Beast.

This punch, with a force of 108,000 jin, actually stunned the four-legged Demon Beast, which shook its head and spat out flames.

Bai Yuekui unleashed the Human Immortal Martial Dao; according to the Human Immortal level classification, Bai Yuekui was already at the Marrow Refining realm, which is a Grandmaster.

At this realm, the cultivation of the Human Immortal Martial Dao has penetrated deep into the marrow, with essence, intent, and spirit gathered in the marrow, extending one's lifespan to over a hundred years; a peak Grandmaster can initially comprehend fist intent and use their own Qi and blood to injure people from a distance.

Being Martial Dao as well, the combat power of the Human Immortal Martial Dao cultivation system at the same level is absolutely top-tier.

With a Teleportation, Bai Yuekui charged straight up, her speed like a meteor, causing the air to emit thunderous explosions.

Her entire body's tendons and meridians made sounds like popping beans; she raised her right leg, and with a knee strike from her long, slender leg, she kicked the four-legged demon away.

At the same time, she jumped into mid-air again, clenched her fist, and the extreme force friction with the air generated flames!

Boom!

The four-legged demon smashed heavily into the ground, falling into a dizzying mess!

One is a Martial Artist, the other is a monster that has gained intelligence!

But at this moment, relying on the powerful force of the Flesh!

Bai Yuekui instead suppressed the demon!

"So amazing!" A look of envy appeared in Hua Xiaogu's eyes; she also wanted to become as strong as everyone else.

"As long as you are willing to learn, you can also reach this height," Xuanzang said.

"Can I really?" Hua Xiaogu asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course," Xuanzang said.

And at this time, Feng Baobao also made a move, because the four-legged demon's body was covered in scales, and its defensive power was extremely strong!

With the coordination of Xiao Shi and Bai Yuekui!

Feng Baobao took out a shovel and took the opportunity to give the four-legged demon a "thousand-year kill"!

"Awoo!"

The four-legged demon opened its mouth wide and let out a heart-wrenching sound, and Bai Xiaochun threw a dozen strange Poison Pills into its mouth.

Instantly, this demon became frantic, rolling all over the ground, constantly tearing at its own Skin and Flesh, dripping with blood?

"Bai Xiaochun, what did you feed it again?" Xuanzang said.

"Big Boss Xuanzang, uh... just some Pills that cause itching and some hallucinogenic ones..." Bai Xiaochun scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

The next second, the four-legged demon, with its head held high and eyes red, frantically rammed into the mountain wall, directly snapping off its own bull horns.

Clang!

Finding an opportunity, Bai Yuekui drew her Tang saber, and with a fast, accurate, and ruthless strike, she severed its head, ending the battle.

Just as Xuanzang said, this demon had only gained spiritual intelligence recently, its strength was not very strong, and it was easy to deal with.

After this four-legged demon fell, the group also received a notification sound from the chat.
