"Sis, I won't..."
"If you don't leave now, don't ever call me your sister again!"
The young woman turned and fiercely glared at the young man named A Hu.
At her words, A Hu stamped his foot, threw back his head, and let out a loud "Ah!" Then, carrying the gravely wounded woman on his back, he raced desperately into the depths of the Mountain Forest.
Whoosh!...
The young man had barely left when the Demonic Beast charged out of the Mountain Forest.
The Demonic Beast was tall and completely naked, with blue-green skin, gills on its cheeks, and a row of sharp teeth that showed when it opened its mouth.
Swish!
Facing the young woman blocking its path, the Demonic Beast did not hesitate. It raised the fishbone blade in its hand and slashed at her.
Whoosh!
Though the young woman looked frail, she was exceptionally agile.
As the Demonic Beast's blade cleaved toward her, she leaped into the air and dodged the blow.
At the same time, she kicked hard against a nearby tree with both feet, using the force to twist around before thrusting the fishing spear in her hands at the Demonic Beast's back, straight toward its heart.
Bang!
Although the thrust struck the Demonic Beast, it failed to pierce its hard scales. Even a section of the fishing spear in her hands snapped off.
That thrust, however, thoroughly enraged the Demonic Beast.
A harsh roar rasped from its throat. Then it abruptly opened its grotesque, fang-filled mouth and spat a ball of water at the young woman like a cannonball.
Whoosh!
The young woman's reactions were astonishingly quick. Not only did she anticipate the Demonic Beast's move again, but she also twisted aside the instant it spat out the water cannonball.
Boom!
Dozens of trees
