The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

"Mmm." Bai Qian gave a faint "Mmm."

"And him?" This naturally refers to Zhao Lin, who, in any case, has the highest level of martial arts skills among the four.

"I'll stay here." Bai Qian's excuse for coming out was to wander around the village. Although Bai Yao was worried, she only gave her another yellow talisman and didn't stop her.

"Fine, if you want to come along, then go ahead. We can just watch from a distance later." Tong Hui sighed and didn't say anything more.

"Speaking of which, girl, how long have you been learning martial arts?" Tong Hui then asked.

"Five days."

"That feels like you haven't learned anything at all, you can't help with anything, you should just stay away."

"I can help you collect the body."

Hearing Bai Qian's words, the old man was not annoyed, but instead nodded happily.

"Of course, those pig demons might not leave me with a complete corpse. If you can pick up some of my remaining bones, that would be fine too. Bury them next to my granddaughter's grave on the outskirts of the village. Just ask the villagers for the location."

"Anyway, girl, you should prioritize your own safety."

Volume 1: 45. Enter through the main gate

Liu Si felt that there were indeed some problems with the world.

Farmers like him, who diligently cultivate their own land and have never bothered anyone, are suddenly struck by misfortune.

It can't be called a sudden disaster; it's more like I had a premonition.

I had heard that the nearby Black Valley Village housed several monsters, and these monsters would capture people to serve them.

In recent years, rumors of demons and monsters that were previously unheard of have begun to surface, and even the most ordinary people at the bottom of society know that the world has changed.

But even if you know, what can you do?

Even if you know there are monsters around and they're going to capture you, what can you do?

My ancestors left me some land. Although it's not as good as that of the landlords, it's much better than that of the tenant farmers who have no land or ancestral property.

But having these fields means being tied to this place.

People can run away, but fields can't.

Liu Si knew that he was good at nothing but farming, and that he would be helpless without his ancestral land.

They couldn't escape, and then they were caught.

In the past few days, he has truly learned what it means to be in hell on earth.

Those pig demons returned double the amount of what humans had done to pigs to humans.

They treat people like livestock, keeping them alive, and killing and eating them when they're unhappy.

Originally, Master Liu couldn't have avoided it, but fortunately, he knew someone in the village.

These pig demons were "invited" by the people of Black Valley Village, so some people in Black Valley Village were able to get along with them. Of course, the premise was that they had to respectfully call them "Pig Demon Lords".

Liu Si was rescued from that hell on earth.

But he felt there must be something wrong with this world. Even though he was being ripped off, he wanted to smash up the pigsty, even if it meant he felt bad for the guy who had helped him out.

He certainly doesn't have that ability, but there are always people who do.

The man, holding an oil lamp furtively, stood outside the village. When he saw the two people walking out of the fields, he quickly went to greet them.

The people who came were a man and a woman, or rather, an old man and a young man.

Liu Si recognized the old man; he was from the next village. He often met with him and knew that the old man used to be a martial artist, but he had his arm cut off because of his competitive nature, and that's why he returned to his hometown.

As for the girl... I don't know her. After all, if there were such a pretty girl within a radius of several miles, it's impossible not to know her.

"Master Tong." Upon seeing Tong Hui, Liu Si greeted him respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the old man patted his shoulder with his remaining arm.

"Take this girl and stay far away. I can't kill all those pig demons by myself."

Upon hearing this, Liu Si nodded silently.

He already knew about this, or rather, he knew when Tong Hui contacted him.

"Then could you destroy that pigsty? No matter what, we can help as many people as possible escape." This was Liu Si's only thought.

Tong Hui nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"I will try my best."

"Alright, you guys stay far away and keep an eye on things. I'm going to go and cause trouble for these pig demons."

"From the main gate?" Liu Si was taken aback upon hearing this.

"The main gate," Tong Hui said calmly.

Or rather, at this point, he was actually quite happy.

When he was young, he was arrogant and domineering, and he didn't even respect the King of Heaven. However, because he was too arrogant, he lost an arm and became dejected.

All his pride and arrogance were shattered by this one blow, and he returned to his hometown disheartened.

That was the mindset I was going to have when I was buried, but last month I found out that my granddaughter had been eaten by those pig demons.

Angry? Of course I was angry, but because of my increasingly weak temper over the years, I didn't even confront them immediately. The resentment just kept building up inside, growing stronger and stronger until I finally couldn't suppress it anymore.

Sneak in quietly?

Those who practice Tiger Fist are not so timid; even a tiger with a broken arm is still a tiger.

If you fight your way through the main gate, you're dead, you're dead.

Liu Si watched the old man walk to the gate of the manor and felt a headache coming on, but it was ultimately the man's own decision, and he couldn't stop him.

He glanced at Bai Qian, whom this man had entrusted to his care.

Bai Qian's expression remained unchanged throughout, her dark eyes fixed on the manor, her thoughts unreadable.

"Why don't you stay here for now?" Liu Si said to Bai Qian after hesitating for a moment.

Bai Qian tilted her head and looked at him upon hearing this.

"I'll see if I can save the people after I see what commotion Master Tong has caused and attracted those pig demons," Liu Si said. Judging from the old man's condition, there was probably not much he could do; he would have to rely on himself to save the people.

"Should I go with you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Si thought about it in silence for a moment before nodding: "That's fine too." After all, he was someone Tong Hui brought over. Although he didn't seem to be anything special, Liu Si didn't know anything about him, and Tong Hui might be much more capable than him.

"Come with me. I know a shortcut. While Master Tong is distracting us, let's sneak in."

----

Bai Yao stood at the door, gazing at the sky that was about to darken, feeling somewhat worried.

Bai Qian just said she was going out, but she hasn't returned yet. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to this girl's request, or maybe it would have been better if I had gone with her.

I don't know when I'll be back; this place is never safe...

While pondering whether or not to go out and find Bai Qian.

A woman in a floral dress slowly walked over. She had heavy makeup on her face, and her narrow eyes had a hint of seductiveness. She looked quite normal, but there was something strange about her.

The moment Bai Yao saw the woman, he felt a surge of disgust.

When I turned around, intending to avoid her.

The woman had already come to Bai Yao's side.

"What are you waiting for?" she asked meaningfully.

Bai Yao, who had originally planned to leave immediately, paused in her tracks.

He turned around, his face cold as he looked at the woman in the floral dress, and opened his mouth as if to ask something.

"I'll be waiting for you in the woods outside the village," she said cryptically, before walking away with light steps.

Bai Yao was left standing there, her beautiful face showing a mixture of emotions.

Bai Yao certainly understood what the woman in the floral dress meant; she definitely knew that he was waiting for Bai Qian.

But in the worst-case scenario, Bai Qian was captured by her?

Standing at the door, gazing in the direction the woman had left, Bai Yao hesitated for a moment.

He turned around and went to find Pei Huan and the others.

It's not that he's brainless; even if he knew Bai Qian might have been captured, he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything about it on his own.

At this point, we must find outside help.

The only foreign aid they can rely on right now is Pei Huan and Zhao Lin.

If possible, the old man I visited before could also be included.

The only worry was what they wanted to capture Xiao Qian for. If possible, Bai Yao would rather they captured her instead, so she could stab herself to death and no one would have to worry about her.

Bai Yao didn't want to think about anything too bad; she could only hope... that nothing would happen.

Volume 1: 46. Nothing Left

The sound, which sent chills down one's spine just by hearing it, echoed in this dark place.

The old man stood in the shadows, leaning on his cane, listening to the sounds of flesh being devoured, his aged face etched with sorrow.

To say I couldn't bear it wouldn't be true; after all, once these pig demons were brought to the village, the thought of not being able to bear it shouldn't have existed.

He provided these pig demons with blood and food and helped them build pigsties. In return, no one in the entire village, or even the surrounding villages, dared to disobey him.

In all my life, when have I ever enjoyed such treatment? So, the idea that I couldn't bear it is definitely not true.

However, these pig demons have become increasingly greedy lately. They used to keep only a dozen or so people in the pigpen, but now there are almost a hundred, and it's too crowded.

It's one thing for pigs to eat people in their pens, but the villagers say that these pig demons are roaming the streets and eyeing the villagers with impunity.

People who look at the village as if it were food.

Judging from this situation, they will probably become even more unscrupulous in the future.

Thinking this, I saw a man dressed in coarse cloth carefully walking over.

"Uncle, someone's coming to the gate of the manor."

The old man raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

"What do you mean?" He didn't understand.

“Someone called and specifically asked the pig demon lords to come over. The three pig demon lords who were wandering around the manor have already gone over there.”

They called...?

I didn't quite understand it.

Is there really anyone who can deal with these pig demons?

After a moment of silence, the old man walked into the pigsty, enduring the smell of blood and rotting. The pigsty was quiet; after all, anyone who made a fuss was eaten as soon as they were locked in.

The remaining people, in order to survive, dared not even let out a sound, for fear of being noticed by the group of pig demons.

In the corner of the pigpen, a bloated, almost deformed monster sat there, gnawing on a leg in its hand. Beside it lay a woman who had fainted, her legs looking as if they had been torn off.

Its yellowish-black skin was covered with short, dense mane, and its round head had two small, almost dot-like eyes. Thick blood dripped from its mouth full of sharp teeth.

It didn't notice the old man's arrival, or rather, it didn't care.

He was intently gnawing on the leg in his hand.

"Master Meng, someone's attacking outside. Why don't you go and see? Your brothers have already gone there." The old man walked up to it and said respectfully.

This is the smallest of the pig demons, and also the most violent. It's the one who eats the most people in the pigsty.

The pig demon, known as Master Meng, raised its round head, glanced at the old man with its two pebble-sized eyes, stretched out its swollen hooves, and forcefully tore off a piece of the woman's arm.

"Understood." A muffled voice came, but it didn't move.

As if it had thought of something, it looked up at the old man.

"In this circle, the kids have finished eating."
