Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

"Drip, drip..." The sound of water droplets falling to the ground suddenly rang out.

Su Mu frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Logically speaking, it's not strange to hear water flowing and dripping inside a cave.

But a sense of unease crept into her heart.

With her exceptionally keen senses, she also possesses a strong perception of danger.

Moreover, the fact that this cave was explored by two groups of people with considerable strength suggests that it must be something special.

The further I went inside, the colder I felt, and I couldn't help but hug my arms tightly.

Suddenly, a few cool rays brushed against my neck.

It was cold, very cold, seeping into her skin without her even realizing it, flowing along with her blood, and reaching straight to her heart.

She knew perfectly well that she couldn't let it actually reach her heart.

He reached out and tapped the area around his heart a few times to protect it.

At that moment, a strange figure swept across the fire-scorched wall.

It was very eerie in the empty space.

Su Mu stood still, his gaze sweeping around as he carefully surveyed the surroundings.

Whose skill is so profound? It flew by in a blur, so fast that it couldn't even be caught by the naked eye.

Could it be that another group of people have entered this cave? And their skills are quite extraordinary?

The thought of this possibility made her face turn ashen. She knew she was no match for that man in terms of skill, and if he intended to kill her, she would have no chance of resisting.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

It's this voice again.

Su Mu was puzzled. He hadn't moved at all, so why was the sound of the water droplets getting closer and closer?

Sensing something was wrong, she quickly circulated her dantian and moved to the other side.

Look closely at that spot.

This... is not a person.

His bare, flesh-colored skin was uneven, like a deformed monster. His back was severely hunched, as if he would fall to the ground like a lump of soft flesh at any moment. His hands were bent in front of his chest, and his sharp, black fingernails were extremely conspicuous.

Its eyes were of different sizes, but the pupils were all the same blood red, gleaming with a cold and eerie dark light.

"Hehehe——"

This strange sound came from its throat.

Su Mu suppressed his fear and stared intently at it, worried that it might attack him at any moment.

Just as she was pondering, it pushed off with its slightly bent legs and sped toward Su Mu.

She quickly dodged, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back.

If the necklace hadn't malfunctioned, she might have been able to put up some resistance with her mental strength, but now, despite possessing only mediocre physical skills, she wasn't sure if she could handle the monster's sudden attack.

I absolutely cannot afford to be distracted right now.

The monster was clearly furious when it saw its prey evade it, its eyes growing even fiercer, and its hissing sounds quickening.

"Shuttle—" It moved.

This time, Su Mu was unable to catch its gaze, just as she was in despair.

A loud "bang!" was heard in the air as it crashed heavily to the ground and slid a long distance away.

The skin that hit the ground was scratched and mangled, making it look even uglier and more horrifying.

Su Mu looked at it with suspicion, wondering why it had fallen to the ground.

"Roar!!!" It raised its head and roared, its eyes filled with the urge to tear Su Mu apart as it looked down at her, but in the next second it turned and disappeared from the spot.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Su Mu was completely bewildered. She only remembered that when the monster charged at her, it suddenly bounced away a meter away from her, but she really didn't understand why.

Feeling like she had been reborn, she had no choice but to continue down this path.

In the dimly lit corridor, which was empty at night, Su Mu walked cautiously with every step, still wary of what she had just experienced.

There's no guarantee there won't be a second one, or some other monster. In any case, she has to stay alert and keep moving forward.
