A genius girl with her own space

"Qiqi, judging by the situation, the monster should still be in the cave. Should we lure it out or go in?" Zhou Jingze said in a low voice. Yun Jizi was also looking at Qiqi, waiting for her response.

"Master, Brother Jingze, let's lure it out. We don't know what's going on in the cave, and it's narrow inside. I'll throw a few live chickens in and see if we can lure it out." After Qiqi finished speaking, he took out a few live chickens from the space and threw them in.

The live chicken was clucking and looking around.

Qiqi and the other two looked into the deep cave. A rustling sound came from the deep cave. It was a bit eerie in the darkness.

"Qiqi, Jingze, let's go out first and turn off the flashlight." The three of them quickly came to the cave entrance and turned off the flashlight.

They soon adjusted to the darkness. Qiqi threw a few more chickens at the entrance. From inside, they could hear the chickens' frightened cries and the fluttering of their wings. Soon, there was no movement. A rustling sound came towards the cave entrance.

The three of them quickly hid themselves and looked towards the cave entrance. A hairy monster appeared at the entrance. They couldn't see the monster's face or the color of its hair.

It stretched out its hands and grabbed a chicken, tore it apart with both hands, stuffed it into its mouth and began to eat. The monster ate several chickens in succession.

It felt something was wrong and turned its head to look in Qiqi's direction.

Zhou Jingze was afraid it would hurt Qiqi, so he drew his sword and stabbed at the monster. The monster dodged Zhou Jingze's sword with a leap. It then spun sideways and lunged at Zhou Jingze. Zhou Jingze dodged it with a quick movement. The monster and the man engaged in a fight.

Yun Jizi watched from the side. This monster was incredibly agile. It must have been dead for thousands of years. Buried in a cave, its body remained incorrupt, transforming it into a zombie. Something in this cave must be nourishing it, causing it to become like this. Was it the "Hanba" (Drought Demon)? They'd have to defeat it first.

Yun Jizi was afraid that Jingze would suffer, so he joined the battle.

The two men engaged the monster in a fierce battle. The monster dodged their attacks with ease, seemingly playing a trick on them. Zhou Jingze noticed and threw a diamond-made hidden weapon at the monster's chest. With a whoosh, the monster flew into the monster's chest. Furious, the monster quickly ran towards Zhou Jingze and slapped him, sending him flying.

Qiqi flew up, trying to grab Brother Jingze, but was a step too late. Zhou Jingze's back crashed into a tree. Zhou Jingze spat out a mouthful of blood. "Brother Jingze," Qiqi quickly took out a pill and gave it to Zhou Jingze.

"Brother Jingze, you take a rest first. I'll go help Master."

As Qiqi finished speaking, Yunjizi was scratched on the arm by the monster. The smell of blood further stimulated the monster, and it attacked Yunjizi even more frantically.

"Master," Qiqi leaped, unsheathed her sword, and lunged at the monster. Seeing Qiqi turn around, the monster lunged for her. Qiqi dodged. With a backhand swing, the monster dodged. The sword shaved off a large portion of the monster's hair. The monster caught the hair, its eyes glowing red.

"Qiqi, be careful. The monster is getting angry." Yun Jizi shouted.

"Master, let's retreat. Blast it with grenades."

Qiqi and Master grabbed Zhou Jingze and flew backwards. The monster was stunned. Why didn't you fight? You've shaved off all my beautiful hair. There's no way I can escape.

The monster chased them. Qiqi turned around and threw a grenade. Yun Jizi also threw one.

There were two loud explosions and flames shot up.

Qiqi, Master, and Zhou Jingze stopped and looked toward the fire. The monster staggered and crawled up in the flames.

"Qiqi, the monster was not killed by the explosion, let's have another round." Yun Jizi said.

Yun Jizi threw a grenade at the monster, and Zhou Jingze, followed by his master, also threw one. Qiqi also threw three in a row. Five grenades, this time it should be unable to move.

The monster was blown down in the fire.

After a while, the fire died down and the monster became still.

Yun Jizi breathed a sigh of relief. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze stared. Something moved, and the ashes bulged upward.

"Oh no! The monster is not dead, it's still alive." Zhou Jingze shouted.

"I haven't killed you yet. Let's have another wave." Qiqi took out a box of grenades and looked at the monster. The monster was trying to get up.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze threw grenades at the monster frantically. The grenades exploded like they were free. They threw a whole box of grenades at the monster, and this time the monster was blown to pieces!

A large deep pit was blown out where the monster was.

"Master, Brother Jingze's monster must have been killed this time."

"Qiqi, if it's the drought demon, I hope it will be blown to death." Yun Jizi said.

Qiqi wanted to go down to the deep pit to take a look. Jingze quickly grabbed Qiqi. "Qiqi, I'll go take a look. You wait up there."

"Jingze, you can't go. Wait a little longer." Hanba is very cunning. You see, when it fought with us, it didn't use its full strength at the beginning. It was just playing with us. Maybe it was lonely for many years and thought we were playing with it. We hurt it, so it went crazy." Yunjizi called Jingze.

"Master, you're right. I felt it too. It went crazy because I cut its hair. Master, could it be that the monster still has intelligence and retains some memories of its past life?"

"Then it eats wild boar, maybe it's hungry?" Qiqi said.

"Master, Qiqi, please take a look. Something is moving in the deep pit." Zhou Jingze said.

The three of them looked toward the pit. The monster had already risen and was looking at Qiqi and the other two.

The monster roared and started to climb up. It climbed up and looked at Qiqi. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and the vision was clearer. The monster roared at Qiqi twice and ran away.

Qiqi finally saw the monster. It was over two meters tall, covered in green and red hair. It ran very fast. Its eyes flashed green. It looked terrifying. But when Qiqi saw it, her heart ached, and she clutched her chest in pain.

"Qiqi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Zhou Jingze said anxiously.

"Brother Jingze, my heart hurts a little." Qiqi replied.

Yun Jizi also came over and felt Qiqi's pulse. "Qiqi, calm down. Your heartbeat is too fast."

Qiqi slowly recovered. "Master, Brother Jingze, when I saw the monster clearly, consciousness emerged from the depths of my heart. It was like I had known it for many years, and my heart ached. I don't know what happened." Qiqi said weakly.

"Master, let's find it quickly to prevent it from hurting anyone," Qiqi said.

"Master, let's take a break first. Qiqi is very tired." Zhou Jingze suggested.

"Qiqi, take a rest first. I think the monster is the 'Hanba' that evolved from a zombie. Look where it ran, the grass has withered. It's not a large area. It just evolved into a Hanba. Did you see that the fur on its body has turned red? When it turns red, the area of withered grass will become much larger. I didn't expect that I would actually see a Hanba in my old age."

"Master, Hanba is the corpse of a dead person. The corpse does not decay and becomes a zombie. Zombies survive for thousands of years and absorb all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then they become Ba. At first, they have white or green hair, and when they evolve into red hair, they become Hanba. Hanba is a monster in the legend that causes drought. When Hanba appears, the land will be barren for thousands of miles. Master, is this true?" Zhou Jingze said.

"Jingze, Qiqi, Master has heard another legend. The drought demon was originally caused by the negligence of the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven controls all things in heaven and earth, and the cycle of the four seasons. One day, the Emperor was careless and forgot to assign the Rain God to make rain, which caused a drought in the north.

To alleviate the drought on earth, the four divine beasts were ordered to search for the Rain God, but they searched for a long time without success. On a mountain stood a large stone. Inscribed on it was the word "Hanba." The Hanba had appeared ever since. To address his own negligence, the Emperor of Heaven ordered the gods to unite and suppress the Hanba. "Was the monster just now the resurrection of the suppressed Hanba?" Yun Jizi wondered worriedly.

Qiqi remained silent. "The drought demon came from the sky. We know him."
