Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

As dawn broke, the group packed their belongings and continued their journey towards safety. Along the way, You Ruo was still excitedly telling Hua Qiangu about the battle with the black panther the previous night.

“Master, that black panther was really powerful last night! But we were even more powerful, especially Sister Sha. Look at how she beat the black panther so badly with just a few moves!” You Ruo said excitedly, gesturing wildly.

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Yes, my sister has always been amazing, but everyone was very brave. You Ruo, you did a great job too!"

Hearing the praise, Sha Qianmo laughed smugly: "Haha, that's right. With me here, what trouble can those little monsters cause! Little one, you and You Ruo should learn from me. Don't make me worry if we encounter danger again in the future."

"Sister, we will try our best!" Hua Qiangu replied.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared ahead, and everyone immediately became alert. As they got closer, they realized it was Ni Mantian and Shuofeng.

"Hmph, Hua Qiangu, we meet again!" Ni Mantian said with a haughty expression.

Hua Qiangu frowned: "Ni Mantian, what are you doing here?"

"What? Can't I come here? This road isn't yours to own," Ni Mantian replied dismissively.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Shuofeng quickly said, "Please don't misunderstand, we're just passing by and have no ill intentions."

Dongfang Yuqing smiled, trying to ease the tension: "Oh, it's you guys. The journey has been fraught with danger, so please be careful."

Ni Mantian rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, you don't need to worry about it, we're capable of doing it ourselves."

But they hadn't gone far when a group of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared around them, wielding sharp blades, and quickly surrounded them.

"Who are you people?" Bai Zihua asked coldly.

The man in black didn't answer, but launched an attack. The group immediately engaged him in combat.

Ni Mantian and Hua Qiangu were forced to fight side by side. While fighting, Ni Mantian shouted to Hua Qiangu, "Hmph, Hua Qiangu, we're unlucky this time to fight these guys with you!"

Hua Qiangu shouted, "What time is it? Stop talking about this! Let's defeat them first!"

During the battle, Ni Mantian was caught off guard and stabbed in the arm by the man in black. "Ah!" she screamed.

Seeing this, Hua Qiangu rushed over to help her block the enemy and shouted, "Ni Mantian, are you alright!"

Sha Qianmo also shouted, "Little one, be careful!"

With everyone working together, they finally repelled the men in black. Hua Qiangu hurriedly checked Ni Mantian's injuries, "Ni Mantian, you're injured, let me bandage you."

Ni Mantian's expression was somewhat complicated. "Hmph, who needs your fake kindness? I can manage on my own." But she did not refuse Hua Qiangu's help.

While bandaging her wound, Hua Qiangu said, "No matter what grudges we had before, now that you're injured, I can't just ignore it."

Seeing Hua Qiangu's serious expression, Ni Mantian's heart stirred slightly. "Hmph, this time I owe you a favor."

Shuofeng walked over and said gratefully to Hua Qiangu, "Thank you for saving her, Hua Qiangu."

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "It's nothing. We're all on the same path, so we should look out for each other."

After this incident, the atmosphere among everyone underwent a subtle change.

You Ruo asked Hua Qiangu curiously, "Master, this older sister didn't seem to be very friendly with you before, so why did you still save her?"

Hua Qiangu patted You Ruo's head: "You Ruo, the relationships between people are complicated, but in the face of life and death, those grudges can be put aside for now."

Sha Qianmo nodded in agreement: "Little one is right. We can't just stand by and watch them die. However, the origins of these men in black are unknown. We must be careful that they don't reappear."

Bai Zihua's expression was solemn: "They seem to have come prepared. We cannot let our guard down and must leave here as soon as possible."

The group continued on their journey. Although Ni Mantian didn't say anything, she silently followed Hua Qiangu and the others the whole way, a stark contrast to her previous arrogant demeanor.

After walking for a while, everyone stopped to rest.

Ni Mantian walked to Hua Qiangu's side and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hua Qiangu, thank you this time. I was a bit too harsh on you before."

Hua Qiangu looked at her with some surprise: "Ni Mantian, I'm quite surprised that you would say that. Actually, we don't need to be enemies all the time."

"Hmph, don't think I'll make up with you so easily. But you saved me this time, and I'll remember that." After saying that, Ni Mantian walked to the side and sat down.

Shuofeng smiled and said to Hua Qiangu, "That's just how she is, stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside. Actually, she has already accepted you in her heart."

Dongfang Yuqing joked, "It seems this battle has brought about a new change in our relationship. Maybe we can become good friends in the future."

"Haha, that's really a good thing. It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy," You Ruo said with a smile.

After resting for a while, they continued on their way. But they hadn't gone far when they encountered new trouble. The road ahead was shrouded in mist, looking eerie and terrifying.

"This fog doesn't look right," Dongfang Yuqing said, frowning.

"Yes, I feel there's danger inside." Hua Qiangu looked at the mist with concern.

Sha Qianmo stepped forward: "No matter what, we have to get through this fog. Everyone be careful."

The group cautiously entered the mist, and after only a few steps, they heard eerie laughter coming from all around them.

"Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed in the mist, sending chills down one's spine.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Bai Zihua shouted.

Suddenly, countless vines emerged from the mist and began to entangle the group.

"Ah! What is this?" Youruo exclaimed in surprise.

"Everyone be careful, don't get touched by the vines!" Hua Qiangu shouted.

Everyone scrambled to avoid the vines' attacks while searching for a way to counter them.

Ni Mantian brandished her weapon, slashing at the vines: "These annoying things, don't bother me!"

Shuofeng was also struggling against the vines: "Let's attack together and break through the encirclement of these vines!"

Despite everyone's efforts, many vines were cut down, but they kept coming back.

“This can’t go on. We need to find the source of these vines,” Sha Qianmo said.

Hua Qiangu nodded: "Yes, let's split into several groups and search in different directions."

So the group split into several groups and searched for the source of the vines in the mist.

Hua Qiangu and You Ruo were a pair, and they walked carefully.

"Master, I'm a little scared." You Ruo held Hua Qian Gu's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Youruo, your master is here," Hua Qiangu comforted her.

Suddenly, they discovered a huge flowering vine in front of them, from which all the surrounding vines extended.

"Look, this should be it!" Hua Qiangu said, pointing to the flower vine.

Just then, Ni Mantian and Shuofeng also found their way here.

"Found it! Let's attack this vine together!" Ni Mantian shouted.

The group joined forces to attack the flower vines, and after a fierce battle, the vines were finally destroyed, and the mist gradually dissipated.

"Phew, finally solved." Dongfang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"This journey has been incredibly dangerous; I wonder how many more dangers await us," You Ruo exclaimed.

"No matter how much danger there is, we will face it together," Hua Qiangu said firmly.

The group continued their journey, and the experiences along the way deepened their friendship and strengthened their resolve to move towards safety and face the unknown challenges ahead.

On their journey, they encountered all sorts of strange and bizarre dangers, including bewitching illusions and sudden sinkholes. Each time they faced perilous situations, but each time they worked together to overcome the difficulties.

In the illusion, everyone saw what they feared most deep down; some saw the loss of loved ones, while others saw betrayal by their lovers.

In the illusion, Hua Qiangu saw Bai Zihua leaving her, and she broke down crying, "Master, don't leave me!"

Sha Qianmo hurriedly woke her up: "Little one, this is an illusion, it's not real!"

In the illusion, Ni Mantian saw herself being abandoned by everyone. She screamed in terror, but Shuofeng held her hand tightly, which gradually brought her back to her senses.

"This illusion is terrifying; it can see right through our hearts," Ni Mantian said, still shaken.

"Everyone must stay alert and not be deceived by the illusion," Bai Zihua reminded.

The group encouraged each other and finally escaped the illusion.

Later, when they encountered a sinkhole, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and everyone used their light-footed skills to dodge it.

"Everyone, jump this way!" Dongfang Yuqing shouted.

In the chaos, someone accidentally fell into a sinkhole, and everyone rushed to rescue them.

Despite the danger, Hua Qiangu used vines to pull the person who had fallen into the crevice: "Everyone, come and help!"

After some effort, everyone was out of danger.

These experiences made everyone cherish each other more, and also made them realize that unity and trust are the most important things on this difficult journey.

As they continued their journey, they seemed to be getting closer to safety, but at the same time, the danger was also increasing. They didn't know what other trials awaited them...
