What kind of girl would travel to another world?

In the previous chapter, Qi Xinyang was battling the final monster in the abandoned underground palace, the Ten-sided Burrower. After a fierce battle, the two sides were once again in a stalemate.

When the Ten-Faced Earth Drilling Beast opened its mouth to bite Qi Xinyang, Qi Xinyang dodged it and instead shot an arrow into its mouth. This arrow directly hit the "core" of its body, making it slow in movement and no longer daring to attack casually.

After this success, Qi Xinyang immediately switched from her passive evasion mode, now possessing the upper hand. However, she was unable to get the Ten-Faced Burrower to open its mouth again, allowing her to continue firing at its "core." Furthermore, her Wind Walk spell could easily dissipate at any moment, making her anxious. As soon as it did, she would immediately fall into a state of exhaustion, leaving her vulnerable for a while.

After a brief stalemate, Qi Xinyang suddenly thought of "trajectory analysis." Using the trajectory, she determined the location of the "core" within the Ten-Sided Burrowing Beast. She immediately drew her arrow, nocked it, aimed, and took a small step to the left. With a whoosh, the arrow flew straight out!

The Ten-Faced Earth-Drilling Beast had already prepared to raise its fist to block the attack when it saw Qi Xinyang taking aim. Although its movements had become slow due to the severe damage to its fists and core, it still managed to block the arrow that was shot at its head in time.

It turned out that Qi Xinyang shot the arrow at the head of the ten-sided burrowing beast!

At this moment, as she watched the Ten-Faced Earth Drilling Beast block with its massive fist, Qi Xinyang had already leaped a large step to her right. Now, she was in the blind spot of the Ten-Faced Earth Drilling Beast's sight. She immediately focused all her attention on the "core" she had analyzed and fired the arrow straight out!

Accompanied by a sharp sound of cutting through the air, the arrow was so powerful that it instantly hit the thick-skinned and fleshy body of the Ten-sided Burrowing Beast and drilled into its body!

After being hit by the sudden arrow, the ten-sided burrowing beast could no longer hold on and immediately fell to the ground.

Qi Xinyang, who had not put down her bow at this moment, thought to herself, "That's right! That's the core!" Then, she immediately took another step forward and shot another powerful arrow towards the core from another angle!

As the sharp sound of cutting through the air disappeared again, the ten-sided burrowing beast also met its end, and it began to dissipate soon after.

After Qi Xinyang had shot all her remaining arrows, she finally achieved victory. However, at this moment, she fainted...

Qi Xinyang woke up from her sleep again. Her first reaction when she opened her eyes suddenly was to think, "Why did I fall asleep? I was clearly fighting monsters!" She immediately sat up and looked at the place where there were several broken arrows. There seemed to be something there.

Qi Xinyang walked over and looked at her broken arrows, thinking, "I'm really out of ammunition and food now. I can't defeat any more monsters. Please don't let any more monsters come." With such exhaustion, she squatted down to check what was left of the final monster.

Qi Xinyang boldly reached for the object, but it slipped from her hand after a few tries. She muttered, "Wow! It's so heavy. What on earth is this thing? It looks like a paperweight, but it's too heavy to be called a paperweight. It's said to be one of those things you put at the door to ward off evil spirits, but it's too small, and none of them are in pairs." She placed the object on the ground with a puzzled look, then began to remove the arrowheads from the broken arrows on the ground. As she was removing the arrowheads, she thought to herself, "The arrows are gone, so let's just recycle the arrowheads."

After putting all six arrowheads into her bag, Qi Xinyang looked at the "mysterious object" on the ground and thought to herself, "It doesn't look like material, and it's too heavy. It won't look good as a decoration, so I'd better not give it up." Then she sat down on the ground, took out the small notebook in her bag, and began to record all the characteristics of the "Ten-sided Earth-drilling Beast" she had just killed. At the end, she also drew a picture and also drew the "mysterious object" by the way.

Just as Qi Xinyang was packing her bags and preparing to leave, she suddenly thought of the "key." "Oh, right! I haven't found that 'key' yet. Should I keep going? Is there some 'ultimate monster' ahead? What should I do? Should I keep going?" With this thought, she immediately looked ahead, but saw no end. So she "jumped" again—meaning she jumped to look—but still couldn't see the end.

After a while, Qi Xinyang picked up the "mysterious object" on the ground and thought to herself, "If anything happens later, I'll just throw this thing over to attract attention, and then I'll run away!" With this idea in mind, she began to explore forward carefully again.

Qi Xinyang slowly walked deeper into the cave, always ready to cast Wind Walk and escape. As she walked, she could vaguely sense that she was walking up a gentle slope. She wondered, "Could it be that going forward leads to the next level?" Just as she was still wondering, she saw the end ahead. There was no more road ahead.

Qi Xinyang quickly spotted a box at the end. She immediately dropped the "mysterious object" in her hand and ran over. She looked back and thought, "I wonder how far I've walked." Then, she went to check the box.

I saw that the box was just an ordinary wooden box, and there was no keyhole on it.

Qi Xinyang looked at it and thought, "Just open it directly? So easy? It can't be a trap, right? But I didn't find any traps along the way, so it shouldn't be." With a little worry in her mind, she picked up the scabbard and poked the box, but nothing happened.

After a moment's thought, Qi Xinyang drew her dagger and began to pry. The box swung open. It had no keyhole, no lock, and even the lid was detachable. After opening it, she realized it wasn't a trap. Inside was a pile of human bones! She thought to herself, "These are probably real human bones. They must have been left behind by that 'Ten-Faced Earth-Drilling Beast.' Could that monster have such a perverted habit?" As she pondered this, she stomped the box over with one foot.

Then, the pile of human bones in the box fell out onto the ground. Along with the human bones fell out several books hidden in the box, some of which were opened to reveal the inner pages.

Qi Xinyang was confused after seeing this, and thought to herself, "Besides collecting human bones, this monster also has the good habit of reading books?" Then, she said contemptuously, "What's the point of you reading more books? Isn't it still a monster? Alas." She also knew that it was impossible for the "Ten-sided Burrowing Beast" to read books. Maybe there was something special about these books.

Qi Xinyang, filled with curiosity about the books in the box, couldn't help but squat down to check them out. After flipping through the books, she thought to herself, "Oh. Sure enough, there are some words I can't understand again, but they don't look like the language used in this country. The guild's front desk lady said that all countries use the same language. Could it be the language of some mysterious small country? Oh, right, it's very likely some ancient language from this other world. Wow! Then it's an antique! It's just that the uneven cover looks a bit creepy. Could it be some kind of occult book?" Then, she looked at the "mysterious object" she had thrown on the ground and thought to herself, "Huh? Could that strange thing be the "antique" swallowed by the 'Ten-sided Earth-Drilling Beast'?" In the end, after thinking it over, she still felt that the "mysterious object" was too heavy, so she decided to leave with only these "ancient" books.

Qi Xinyang put all the books together and counted them, finding a total of six. Then, she stuffed them into her bag. She kept them there forever, never telling anyone. Even if her two followers, Xiaojiao and Youke, saw the books, they wouldn't be able to understand them, nor did they know their origins.

As for how Qi Xinyang later knew that the "mysterious object" was called "Lead-weight Fake Beast", that is a story for later. We will talk about it later.

After putting everything away, Qi Xinyang put the bones back into the box. Then, she took out a torch and lit it. She used it to burn the box and the pile of bones inside. When it was almost burned, she threw the torch in as well, then clasped her hands together and prayed.

It turned out that Qi Xinyang was planning to send these unidentified human bones on their way. She just said silently, "Rest in peace!" After that, she thought to herself, "With the support of magical energy, this fire should burn for a very long time, which is enough to help them to be liberated." After that, she picked up her luggage again and left this place.

After leaving the cavernous area on the bottom two levels, Qi Xinyang once again entered the stone brick passageway of the abandoned underground palace. She then lost her way several times, only to discover that the path she had taken was the one without monsters. Then, a sudden realization struck her. "It seems the monsters in this dungeon aren't roaming around," she thought. "So what's with that acid monster near the entrance? Hmm, could it be that the monsters here are respawning?" She began to suspect the dungeon's monsters might respawn, but she wasn't sure. As she passed the doorway where the metal boxes were, she remembered the "key" and thought, "I still can't find the 'key'. Where are the keys to all these treasure chests?" With such regret, she could only helplessly continue her journey home.

When Qi Xinyang walked out of the abandoned underground palace, she finally saw the sky outside. It was already afternoon, and the sun was about to set. She thought to herself, "Oh no! Why is it so late? Is this underground city too big, or have I been unconscious for too long?" At this moment, she suddenly felt hungry. She sighed and muttered, "The gates back to the city are closed. Do we have to camp in the wild? Are there any villages outside the royal capital that have places to stay? I should have asked around before I knew." Thinking of this, she changed her mind and thought to herself, "Oh, I have the Wind Walk spell! As long as the Wind Walk spell works, I should be able to run back in time!" She thought again with excitement, and said to herself, "Oh, I was so thinking about identifying the monsters that I forgot to identify myself. I feel that I am indeed different now than before. I will identify myself to see if I have become stronger." After that, she took out the Identification Eye and used it on herself. What she saw was, "Race: High Human, Name: Qi Xinyang, Identification: Ranger, Skills: Archery Mastery, Wind Magic Basics, with Water Element Affinity and Wind Element Blessing."

After assessing herself, Qi Xinyang's face was filled with questions. "It's still the same, nothing's changed. What's going on? Hey, there's this 'Wind Element Blessing'. Where did it come from? Could it be that this 'Wind Element Blessing' is making me stronger?" Then, she thought again, "Now's not the time to think about this! I need to get back!" With this thought, she immediately cast Wind Walk on herself. A circle of air swirled up around her feet, and after her whole body was radiating a green aura, she immediately ran towards the way home.

As Qi Xinyang ran back to the capital with the effect of Wind Walk, she thought to herself, "Could it be that after I prayed to 'wind', my wind magic spells became so powerful? Yes, it seems like the change happened after that prayer! That's right! It must be because of 'prayer'!" Then, she changed her mind and said to herself, "What about praying to 'fire'? When I burned the boxes and human bones just now, I was also praying to 'fire'. But I don't know fire magic spells, so the 'fire element blessing' is useless..." She kept thinking about it while running at a fast speed.

When the capital city was within sight, Qi Xinyang, sprinting at breakneck speed, thought to herself, "It seems I need to pray to the wind more often. Perhaps I'll become stronger. But not all spells can benefit from this 'wind element blessing,' like that annoying 'Wind Blade'. From the time I learned it until now, its power has never been quite up to par. Sigh." She felt annoyed at the thought of the Wind Blade. However, she didn't realize that her Wind Blade at this point was different from others. She only cared about whether a spell had the power and effect she desired. If it didn't meet her expectations, she would simply ignore it. So, for a long time afterwards, she didn't even think about using the Wind Blade again.
