What kind of girl would travel to another world?

In the previous chapter, we recounted Qi Xinyang's first visit to the dungeon. Back then, she didn't have Xiaojiao and Youke, nor did she have her horse, Benlei, or her tamed beast, Xiaoye. She was completely alone. She accepted a quest from the Adventurer's Guild to clear out low-level monsters from a dungeon located in a place called the "Abandoned Underground Palace" in the Huxia Forest.

After finding the abandoned underground palace, Qi Xinyang looked around at the strange landscape and after a brief hesitation, she walked in with a strange feeling. After all, it was her first time in the underground city, so she was still a little worried. Although these worries were not many, it certainly would not be as relaxing as a trip.

Qi Xinyang was already inside the abandoned underground palace, descending the stairs. Arriving there, she thought to herself, "This place may look a bit shabby, with gravel all over the floor, but the walls are covered in torches. Oh, right, they must have been left by previous adventurers." With that thought, she lit the extinguished torches. Suddenly, she heard a noise. It was so fast! She immediately retreated in small hops, staring intently at the invisible darkness ahead, wondering if some monster would suddenly appear.

After a while, a strange thing did emerge from the darkness. It looked like a fat, half-burned candle, with a completely transparent body, about one meter tall, and kept moving forward. Qi Xinyang had also seen it in a book in the Adventurer's Guild Hall yesterday when she was flipping through it. She thought to herself, "Oh, so that book is an illustrated manual of demons and monsters, but it's a pity that I can't read." Then she thought again, "That's right! I have the 'Identification Eye' with me, I can identify it directly!" She immediately moved away and used the identification on the monster. What she saw was, "Race: Monster, Name: Acid Water Monster, Identification: Low-level Monster, Skill: Water Magic." After the identification, she thought to herself, "Hey! Magical! I thought it would display the text of this other world, but it turned out to be text that I can understand. It seems that whoever uses the identification will display text that they understand. That's so convenient, long live identification!"

Just as Qi Xinyang was identifying the monster, the monster became restless and cast spells directly at her.

Qi Xinyang saw a continuous stream of water droplets spraying towards her. She immediately dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack. Seeing it was a ranged attack, she immediately cast her own spell—"Wind Swirl." A stream of air continuously swirled around her. Although the velocity didn't seem very fast, it was enough to disrupt the trajectory of any average ranged attack.

After casting the spell, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "What kind of spell is that water droplet? Let's call it 'BiuBiu' for now. It can't have any strange effects, can it? Until I understand, it's best not to get hit." With this thought in mind, she continued to dodge the acid monster's attacks. She didn't expend much effort, and with the interference of the Wind Scroll, she easily sidestepped all the attacks from the "acid monster" before her with a single movement. It was incredible that she, having only learned archery a few days ago, possessed such sophisticated combat instincts. She then released the Wind Scroll, relying solely on her physical abilities to dodge the acid monster's attacks.

The dungeon monsters that had deterred countless adventurers now became Qi Xinyang's combat practice tools. If other adventurers had witnessed this, they would have immediately found a hole in the ground to hide in.

The water magic used by this acid monster was precisely "Lianzhu Jutsu." However, this monster only used the entry-level Lianzhu Jutsu, so its firing rate and number of shots couldn't compare to Yang Mingyi's. However, its trajectory was far more accurate than Yang Mingyi's. If Yang Mingyi had seen the monster's precision when casting spells, she would have probably found a hole to hide in right away. However, she was a simple-minded person, and even if others laughed at her, she would quickly forget about it. If there was food, she would have forgotten it even faster.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Xinyang finally reached the point where she could instantly dodge this magical attack through reflex. Having mastered the art of dodging, she stopped "playing around" and simply picked up her bow. After dodging and aiming simultaneously, she fired an arrow with pinpoint accuracy, which undoubtedly pierced the acid monster.

As Qi Xinyang put away her bow, she thought to herself, "Speaking of which, I should not use this 'Wind Scroll Technique' too often in the future. It consumes too much magical energy." Just as she put away her bow and slowly walked towards the pierced acid water monster, the acid water monster's body had already begun to dissipate, and in the end only a layer of strange gelatinous substance remained.

Qi Xinyang looked at it and thought, "Oh! This must be the material dropped by monsters, the stuff that makes adventurers kill each other. Killing each other just for this thing shows the nature of thieves. Even after becoming adventurers, they still can't change their bad habits. It looks a bit disgusting. Never mind, I'll just stuff it in the bag. When I get back, I'll ask the lady at the guild front desk what it is." She had a bag tied around her waist. She carefully picked up the strange gelatinous substance and put it in the bag.

Then, Qi Xinyang took another look at the softening arrow on the ground and shouted uncontrollably: "Oh my god! My arrow! I was planning to reuse it!" After that, she immediately squatted down and carefully checked her arrow.

The arrow that had pierced the Acid Water Monster had already rotted away, leaving only a metal tip. Qi Xinyang looked at it and thought, "No wonder this monster is called the 'Acid Water Monster'. It turns out the liquid in its body is corrosive acid." Then, she immediately imagined the tragic scene of the humans killed by the Acid Water Monster, their bodies corroded by the acid. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt horrified and thought, "No wonder so many adventurers in the hall are waiting for quests to fight monsters instead of fighting monsters. It's too terrifying just to think about it, let alone seeing it with their own eyes. I have to be careful next time. Although it seems easy to deal with, if you are careless and don't dodge, you may die a miserable death immediately." She was a little wrong about the Acid Water Monster's ability.

The Acid Water Monster's Continuous Beads technique is similar to other Continuous Beads techniques, firing water droplets at the opponent. Only when consuming a corpse does it release acid to aid digestion. While Continuous Beads is less effective against the thick-skinned, mid-level monsters, it can still cause significant damage to humans without protective gear. Being hit by the Acid Water Monster's water droplets is like being hit by a series of straight punches. Therefore, adventurers encountering Continuous Beads attacks will typically dodge or block them with protective gear.

Qi Xinyang squatted on the ground, sighed, and muttered, "Oh. It actually corroded my arrow. It's too much!" After that, she carefully poked the arrowhead with the scabbard of the dagger. After the acid on the arrowhead had vaporized, she retrieved the arrowhead.

Qi Xinyang continued walking into the underground palace, but suddenly remembered, "Oh, right! This acid can't corrode metal, so I can kill it with a dagger, right? Oh, great, that's a good idea! Wait, I can also try the 'Wind Blade Technique', although I feel its power may be average." Although she thought so, what she encountered next was not the acid water monster.

Then, a wolf appeared before Qi Xinyang, its face extremely ferocious. She had heard the noise long before she saw it, and had immediately ducked around a corner. She thought to herself, "Oh, thank goodness I ducked quickly and didn't get spotted. This monster probably won't corrode my arrows. It's about the size of a dog, but it looks a bit scary." With this thought in mind, she quietly took out her Identification Eye, intending to identify the unknown monster in the distance.

Qi Xinyang stared at the wolf and when it turned its back to her, she immediately identified it. She saw, "Race: Monster, Name: Earth Wolf, Identification: Low-level Monster, Skills: Earth Magic." After reading it, she thought to herself, "It looks like this monster not only bites people, but also uses earth magic. There is so little information about this. The name 'Acid Water Monster' makes people think that the monster has acid. What does the name 'Earth Wolf' mean? Wolf is its appearance. Does earth and earth magic mean that the spell is related to the land?" She had begun to understand how to analyze the information obtained from 'Identification'.

Just as Qi Xinyang was analyzing, the monster "Earth Wolf" seemed to have spotted her. After howling, the wolf immediately rushed towards her.

Qi Xinyang immediately retreated quickly, but her retreat was heard by the ground wolf. The ground wolf quickly rushed around the corner and continued to chase her.

The wolf was running incredibly fast, much faster than the acid monster. Seeing no time to draw her bow and arrow, Qi Xinyang turned around and, with impulsive determination, unleashed a "Wind Blade" attack on the pursuing wolf. She grasped her right wrist with her left palm, pointed her right sword forward, and a blast of air shot out, striking the wolf's head directly. A crack appeared on the wolf's head, and blood flowed out.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "It's working!" Then she retreated while casting Wind Blade Technique. Finally, the Earth Wolf stopped chasing her, and she stopped retreating as well.

The wolf lowered its head and stopped moving. Qi Xinyang saw all of this. To prevent the wolf from pursuing her again, she decided to use her bow and arrow to finish it off. She took out her bow and arrow, and after taking precise aim, she fired a fatal shot directly at the wolf.

The ground wolf was shot through the head by the arrow shot by Qi Xinyang and fell down immediately.

Just as Qi Xinyang was about to go over and inspect the wolf's corpse, she immediately sensed a slight movement in the ground. She tapped the ground with her toes and jumped away. Suddenly, the dirt beneath the tiles bulged out, forming a mound about half a meter high.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Oh my goodness! If you're slow to dodge, you'll probably sprain your ankle, if not break a bone!" Even as she was thinking this, she immediately saw another ground wolf scurry out from the darkness ahead. She thought, "So this is the ground wolf's earth magic! What a despicable spell! It's a complete sneak attack! Wait, did that wolf howl just now attract all the other ground wolves? What should I do? Should I run away?" She was faced with a life-or-death decision. Being surrounded by a pack of ground wolves would be terrifying.

Qi Xinyang was lost in her decision, but there was no time for her to think carefully. Because the wolf was running too fast, she could only continue to draw her bow and shoot arrows. Then, after taking precise aim, she shot another arrow through the wolf's head! Before she could put down the bow, she heard a sound behind her. She immediately realized that it must be the sound of another wolf running. She immediately turned around, took precise aim, and shot an arrow at the rushing wolf, and another arrow shot through the wolf's head. She did not dare to put down the bow, but was always ready for the next shot.

Just like that, after Qi Xinyang dealt with all the earth wolves that rushed towards her, she finally collapsed on the ground. She had never been so focused as she was at this moment, and she had been doing so for more than ten minutes. At this moment, she had really consumed too much energy, causing her physical strength to quickly drain away. Now she was in a state of physical and mental exhaustion. She said dejectedly, "Don't come again, or I'll die." Just as she hoped, no more earth wolves appeared. In fact, she had already cleared out the earth wolves on the upper level of the dungeon, and now only other low-level monsters remained on the upper level. Further down was the area where the mid-level monsters were located, and she had no intention of going there again, not to mention that she had not accepted the task of clearing out mid-level monsters.

Qi Xinyang didn't know how long she rested there before finally standing up again. She looked at the arrows strewn across the ground, feeling dazed. "Thank goodness I have enough arrows," she thought, "or else I'd have to roll around picking up arrows while shooting." Although she had won, she felt a little down because of the sheer physical and mental exhaustion.
