What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, Qi Xinyang and his group had stopped at a half-elf tribe called "Hidden Mountain Sect" on their journey. Qi Xinyang planned to take two followers with him to this half-elf tribe to learn the half-elf fighting skills for a period of time.

At this moment, Yingping Youzi brought Qi Xinyang and others to the separate room prepared for them.

Upon hearing that Qi Xinyang and the others had lived in the palace, Yingping Youzi immediately began to doubt their identities. She panicked and wondered, "Ah? Are they spies sent by Stilas Odin? But they look like just a few children, so they can't be spies. Is there some 'deeper' purpose..."

After Yingping Youzi calmed down from the shock, she immediately asked Xiaojiao, "You're still living in the palace? Who are you?"

Xiaojiao waved his hand and said to Yingping Youzi, "It's not us, it's our big sister. She used to live in the palace." After that, he looked at Qi Xinyang.

Yingping Youzi asked Qi Xinyang suspiciously, "I heard that you are from Stilas Odin. Are you the princess of that country?" After saying that, she looked Qi Xinyang up and down with an expression of disbelief on her face.

The main reason is that apart from being dressed like an archer, Qi Xinyang looks like an ordinary girl and doesn't look like a princess at all.

Qi Xinyang leaned against the door and answered Yingping Youzi, "Alas, I'm not the arrogant princess of Stilas Odin. I'm just an adventurer. I learned some combat skills in the palace, but after coming to your tribe, I realized that what was taught in the palace was too ordinary." After that, she showed the "S-level pass" given by the Adventurer's Guild.

After examining the "pass," Yingping Youzi said to Qi Xinyang, "Oh... I've seen something similar. A member of the tribe showed it to me before." She then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qi Xinyang, "Oh, that scared me. If a princess from another kingdom were here, it would be a disaster. I heard those princesses aren't allowed to leave the capital, some aren't even allowed out of the palace." In reality, she was worried that Qi Xinyang and his group might be spies, which was why she was on guard. After completely allaying her doubts, she used small talk to lighten the mood.

After hearing that the princess couldn't leave the capital, Qi Xinyang asked Yingping Youzi, "Wow! Is it that tragic?"

Yingping Youzi replied to Qi Xinyang, "I heard about it too."

Qi Xinyang said "Oh" and then asked Yingping Youzi, "Then, besides the princess, there is also..."

Then, they sat in the room, chatting about royal secrets from all over the world. Xiaojiao also took off her backpack and placed it on the floor at the back of the room. The room really looked like a hotel room, with a coffee table and several stools near the window. Xiaojiao sorted out her daily necessities and placed them on the coffee table.

It was not until noon that Qi Xinyang and his group followed Yingping Youzi and Xiaohuatou out of the backyard and came to the place where the tribe had dinner together.

Arriving at the dining area, Qi Xinyang was again left in a state of confusion. This place was too much like a school cafeteria, except that the food was self-service, the tables were like those in a school cafeteria, and the food was arranged like a buffet. At this moment, she was very sure that these tribes established by the half-elves must be related to time travelers. This time traveler could not be an ancient person, but must be a modern person from her original world who traveled through time. Because, everything she saw could not be explained by "coincidence". She thought to herself, "Good guy! Who on earth did all these things when they traveled through time? They are completely changing the other world according to their own preferences..."

As soon as they entered the "self-service cafeteria", Yingping Youzi said to Xiaohuatou, "Xiaohuatou, take them to eat. I'm leaving first." As soon as she finished speaking, she left immediately.

Qi Xinyang was so familiar with this kind of "self-service cafeteria" that he didn't need Xiaohuatou to teach him. He just went to get the food on his own. Xiaojiao and Youke saw this and quickly followed him. They took whatever Qi Xinyang took.

Seeing that Qi Xinyang and the others knew how to cook, the little rascal went about getting her own food. As soon as she finished getting her food, she spotted Ding Lei eating at a table and immediately walked over with her tray. She asked Ding Lei, "What were you doing this morning? I didn't see you during morning exercises in the compound." She placed her plate of food on the table and then sat down again.

Ding Lei originally wanted to say that he was going to release a pigeon to deliver a message, but when he saw Qi Xinyang and the others were also present, he told the little rascal, "I'm going to look after the birds raised in the tribe." What he said was equivalent to passing on a "secret code" that only people in the tribe could understand.

The little rascal understood immediately after hearing it, and stopped asking questions, but buried his head in eating.

Qi Xinyang sat directly next to Xiaohuatou, followed by Xiaojiao and Youke. Xiaojiao ate while glancing at the other people in the buffet. Aside from their table, all the others were occupied by half-elves. Youke, on the other hand, teased "Xiaoye" with her food while she ate.

While eating, Qi Xinyang asked Ding Lei, "I didn't see you go to training this morning. Will you go to training this afternoon?"

Ding Lei told Qi Xinyang, "There are only morning exercises in the morning. The afternoon is all personal time. Sometimes, the chief will gather everyone in the afternoon and talk about something. But today, the chief has something to do, so he probably won't gather everyone."

When the little rascal saw that they were chatting, he suddenly remembered the previous question and asked Ding Lei, "Oh, right, I wanted to ask you this this morning. Why doesn't our tribe teach double-headed swords anymore?"

Ding Lei told the little rascal, "People who have learned it have reported to our tribe that they are prone to accidentally injuring themselves in actual combat. If people who have learned it always accidentally injure themselves, it will not be good for the reputation of our tribe. So, we simply stopped teaching it later." After that, he continued to eat.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Think about it, it makes sense. No matter how well you practice, it would be really bad if you always accidentally hurt yourself in actual combat." Thinking of this, she remembered the "crystal dagger" she had placed in her bag that could accidentally hurt herself.

Ding Lei put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked Qi Xinyang and the others, "Do you want to learn how to use a double-headed sword? There aren't many elders left in the tribe who can teach you how to use a double-headed sword. You'd better learn quickly. If you come back in a few years, I can't guarantee they'll still be in the tribe."

After hearing this, Xiaojiao asked Qi Xinyang, "Big sister, this isn't good. Do you really want to learn something that could easily hurt yourself?" He was a little reluctant when he thought about having to accompany Qi Xinyang to learn the double-headed sword.

Qi Xinyang didn't answer Xiaojiao. She was still thinking, thinking, "Speaking of double-headed swords, I remember there was a way to play with them by splitting them into two swords. But they were just used as toys for fun, and they really didn't make much sense in actual combat. Hey, I seem to have seen that kind of hilt that can be buckled in the middle of a double-headed sword and can slide somewhere..."

Seeing that Qi Xinyang didn't say anything, Ding Lei directly suggested to them, "You should learn how to use the long stick. The long stick has received good feedback and everyone says it is very useful. Sometimes when you don't have a weapon, you can just pick up a long object from the roadside to defend yourself." After that, he continued eating.

The little rascal asked Ding Lei, "Hey, Ding Lei, our tribe teaches bows and arrows and long weapons. Do other tribes teach anything different?"

Ding Lei told the others, "To be more precise, the long weapons our tribe teaches are all weapons that can attack with two weapons. I heard that other tribes also teach short double-handed weapons and dual weapons. Think about it, these short double-handed weapons are naturally suitable for holding one in each hand, right? It sounds very complicated and difficult to learn. Even we half-elves find it difficult to learn, so it would be even more inappropriate for them to learn it."

The little rascal said to Ding Lei, "There are simple dual weapons, right? Dual swords, dual staffs, dual axes, they don't seem that complicated."

Ding Lei said to the little rascal, "If you don't learn this well, it's easy to accidentally hurt yourself. I still recommend learning the long staff. It's less lethal, but once you learn it, you'll never accidentally hurt yourself in actual combat."

Xiaojiao asked Qi Xinyang, "Big sister, what do you say?"

Qi Xinyang lowered her head in confusion, thinking, "From what they said, if I want to play with the double-headed sword that needs to be assembled and disassembled, I have to learn it here first, and then go to other tribes to learn it. Forget it, let's not try it that big yet." Thinking of this, she said to Xiaojiao, "Let's learn the bow and arrow skills first. We can talk about the other things later."

Ding Lei was surprised after hearing this and said to Qi Xinyang, "Ah? You still need to practice archery? I just heard that you were shooting arrows at the shooting range. The people doing morning exercises there were all scared."

Qi Xinyang told Ding Lei, "Let's learn your basic skills. After coming here, I realized that what we taught in the palace was so superficial. Now that we're here, it's better to start from the beginning and learn it again."

Ding Lei said to Qi Xinyang, "Okay then. I'll make arrangements. Someone will take you for training tomorrow."

Having said that, they decided on their next course of study. After that, they chatted casually while eating.

After finishing their meal, they all walked back to the backyard with the little rascal.

Xiaojiao asked Qi Xinyang, "Big sister, what are we going to do this afternoon?"

After hearing this, the little rascal asked Little Foot, "Aren't you here to worship the sacred beast?"

Qi Xinyang quickly interrupted and said to the little rascal, "Yes, yes, yes! We are going to worship the sacred beast this afternoon. Where is the sacred beast?" After saying this, she felt a little panicked and thought, "What a close call! I almost forgot. If we don't go to worship the sacred beast, won't the truth be revealed? How can we cover it up then..."

The little rascal told Qi Xinyang, "It's on the second floor of the big house we went to this morning. I'll take you there in the afternoon! I'll be leaving first!" After that, she left.

After the little rascal left, You Ke immediately asked Qi Xinyang, "Sister, are we really going to worship the sacred beast? We don't worship this, and we don't know how to worship it..." As he spoke, his face showed a bit of reluctance. After all, their half-demon race basically only worshipped the fire element.

Qi Xinyang told Xiaojiao, "Stop talking nonsense. When the time comes, we just need to follow their instructions on how to worship."

With that, they all went back to their rooms to rest. Qi Xinyang was the only one lying on the bed, lost in thought. Xiaojiao, taking advantage of the free time at noon, went to the backyard to tidy up the stables by the outer wall, taking Benlei with him to graze. You Ke spent the entire afternoon in her room playing with Xiaoye.

Now, let's go back to Wei Qingping. It was already past noon, and the two of them were still on their way to the "lake" that the Swordsman King had mentioned.

Wei Qingping followed behind the Swordsman King and asked him, "You haven't finished talking yet. Why do you want to go to the Demon Realm?"

King Jianhao replied to Wei Qingping, "At that time, the demons invaded the human world on a large scale from the Demon Realm, and all the countries on the continent faced the crisis of extinction. After understanding how to fight against the demons and the monsters they brought into the human world, all countries put forward their own elites, and those elites discussed the plan to attack the Demon Realm."

Wei Qingping suddenly interrupted the Swordsman King and said, "Wait a minute, the country is in crisis, shouldn't we defend the human world first? Why are we attacking the demon world instead? Are we going to ignore the human world? Are we going to change homes?" She looked confused and really didn't understand why they were going to attack the demon world.

King Jianhao suddenly became emotional and said to Wei Qingping, "This is a battle for humanity's survival. If we hadn't risked our lives by attacking the demon world, what awaited us would have been an even larger-scale invasion of the human world. In short, if we don't fight this war, then you will. In the end, the demons will surely kill your entire family!" As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with ferocity. However, Wei Qingping was behind him, so she didn't see his fierce gaze.

Wei Qingping was confused and asked King Jianhao, "Ah? My whole family is not in the other world. How can the demons go to our original world?"

After calming down a little, King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "I was just giving an example. You don't know how critical the situation was at that time, and you haven't seen how cruelly the demons slaughtered humans in the human world." At this time, he was no longer as emotional as before.

Wei Qingping then asked the Sword Master King, "So, did you succeed? Were all the demons wiped out?"

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping dejectedly, "No, we failed. The reason for the failure is all my fault..." After saying that, he looked full of self-blame.

Wei Qingping was horrified when she heard King Jianhao say "failure". She immediately asked King Jianhao, "Ah? Does that mean the demons are coming on a larger scale? Where are they?" Then she thought to herself, "Oh no! There are cultists and demons again. This alien world is too dangerous! I should pray to God to let me return to my original world..."

What is going on? Are the demons lurking among them?
