The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 187 - 191 Happiness of the Second Generation (Part 2)
Chapter 187: Chapter 191 Happiness of the Second Generation (Part 2)
A stench-laden wind suddenly arose from nowhere, accompanied by a chilling sensation, as a fierce beast with two grotesque antennae on top of its head targeted Su Li. freёweɓnovel.com
Not daring to be careless, Su Li merged with the original owner’s memories and knew that her weapon of fame was a Jiao Wei Zither named Feng Qi.
As a member specializing in musical attacks within the Joy Sect, it was clear that the original owner had mastered this technique.
Once the Jiao Wei Zither, nurtured in her Dantian, was brought out, the sounds of ethereal celestial music immediately filled the air, easing the divine soul that had been somewhat unsettled by the beast’s earlier roar.
With a delicate strum, sharp ripples surged toward the fierce beast, leaving shallow marks on its fur. The lingering blood mist around the beast also lightened, and the shadow within struggled more intensely, seemingly about to break free.
Seeing its prey inflict damage upon itself, the fierce beast flew into a rage.
With sharp claws, it tore the blood mist with the human shadow straight from its body and stuffed it into its mouth.
Immediately, the two antennae on its head turned red from the base to the tips, as if they had been heated.
Another roar echoed as the fierce beast charged at Su Li on all fours.
Dodging left and right, Su Li clutched the Jiao Wei Zither while continuous sound waves spilled from her fingertips.
Although these waves hurt the beast, they only affected the outer fur; the creature seemed disheveled, yet it wasn’t truly injured.
To a creature as rough-skinned as it was, such minor injuries only triggered a more violent attack, presenting no real solution.
Despite having the original owner’s cultivation insights, Su Li was still frantic due to the brief integration time, unable to blend the knowledge seamlessly.
As time dragged on, Su Li became increasingly exhausted, while the fierce beast fought fiercer than ever.
Originally, being a cultivator from the Joy Sect, the original owner wasn’t skilled in attack. Su Li had been able to hold out this long only due to her spiritual power.
After reviewing the original owner’s memories, Su Li knew that the original owner’s perilous moment of demise was not here.
However, if she didn’t find a solution soon, it might become her own end.
Su Li wondered if, should she perish in this small world, she could return to Chaos....
With resolution, Su Li stowed the Jiao Wei Zither away and pulled out a heavy sword from her inventory.
This sword, an heirloom from the original owner’s master, had always been preferred less in favor of the zither and thus remained unused in the inventory.
The heavy sword, entirely black with intricate patterns, was bulky and yet possessed a peculiar beauty.
Deciding to take a risk, Su Li swung the heavy sword, intending to either stab or bludgeon the creature to death if necessary.
However, Su Li seemed to have misjudged the sword’s weight; as the sword was drawn, ghostly wails formed miniature whirlpools above the heavy sword.
Unusually, a trace of wariness appeared in the eyes of the fierce beast.
Elated, Su Li was about to swing the heavy sword at the beast when—tragically...
She couldn’t even swing the heavy sword.
Although she was not skilled in offensive techniques and her combat power was lower than other cultivators of her level, her cultivation was genuinely at the Nascent Soul level.
A Nascent Soul cultivator was not common; one could become a peak master of a large sect or even a Sect Leader of medium or small sects.
Indeed, Xu Huaiying, the original owner’s Daoist couple, was the master of Sword Peak at Kunlun Mountain, showing that Nascent Soul cultivators were not ordinary.
Yet, such a cultivator like her failed to even swing a sword—if this were known, it would likely be disbelieved.
Su Li couldn’t help but wonder where her master had acquired this sword.
Su Li could no longer ask the question as her original master had long since passed away.
She refused to believe the spell, and tried to wield it again, but she lost balance. The sword remained motionless in her hand, and her body, swayed uncontrollably to the side.
At that moment, a fierce beast attacked again. Su Li swayed just in time to dodge the beast’s claws, which flashed with a cold light.
Suddenly, the space around Su Li started to destabilize and began to distort out of thin air.
Before Su Li could react, she and her sword vanished from in front of the fierce beast.
Seeing its prey disappear, the not-so-bright beast couldn’t figure out what happened. It paced back and forth around where Su Li had disappeared, howling in anger several times, before reluctantly leaving with a swish of its tail.
Meanwhile, as the space around Su Li twisted and quaked, she found herself in a completely different place.
Unlike the cold, damp place from before, this area was filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Green mountains and clear waters were around, and every now and then, small non-aggressive animals would run past her.
Su Li put away the heavy sword in her hand, as it was useless, practically a piece of scrap metal.
She cautiously circled the area and it seemed there was no danger at all.
But in a secret realm, how could there be a place this simple? Su Li slowly compared the scenery around with her memories.
Yes, this was the place.
Though peaceful all around, it actually concealed deadly traps. You could be ensnared without even realizing it.
This was where the original owner had met her end.
This was in fact a vast illusion array, a loop within a loop, from which there was no escape.
The most despairing part was, just when you thought you escaped the ordeal, reality would reveal that you were still trapped inside, as if there was no end.
From the memory of the original owner, Su Li discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The original owner had thought she lived through 250 years in this illusion until her death, but in actuality, only a year had passed since she left according to when her life plate broke in Kunlun Mountain.
That meant that time flowed differently within this illusion compared to the outside world.
Thinking of this, Su Li wasn’t in a rush to find a way out. Instead, she decided to cultivate right there.
A ratio of one to 250. If she cultivated here for one year, wouldn’t it be equivalent to cultivating for 250 years in the outer world?
After a year, when the original owner’s Daoist couple, Xu Huaiying, had found another partner with Hong Qingqing from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, she would leave.
This would spare her the awkwardness of facing a husband in name only.
This place was perfect for testing her Nameless Dao Scripture and the golden page.
Sitting cross-legged, she calmed her mind. Su Li found the golden page and the Nameless Dao Scripture in her Conscious Sea had become incredibly active.
A continuous stream of Spiritual Power was absorbed into her body, and the second character on the golden page suddenly appeared clearly in her mind.
Accompanied by the clanging sound of iron and steel.
"Gold" signifies war, the second character now revealed.
Su Li’s eyes were tightly shut, so she didn’t see the Rule Power that suddenly appeared above her head, entwining and eventually entering through the top of her skull.
Unaware of this, she immersed herself deeply in a profound and mysterious realm.
The previously sunny green mountains and waters seemed suddenly startled, distorting momentarily, as a giant eye appeared out of nowhere in the sky, its cold gaze fixed on that small figure.
A killing intent flashed.
