Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Wuliang Mountain is very beautiful and breathtaking, the spirit beasts that are born there are also particularly smart.

The hunting traps that they made were concealed, and then the three hid outside and guarded for four, five hours. Not one of the trihorn deer that was drinking water fell for the trap. On the contrary, it was those three lying behind the large rock in the grass that feed the mosquitoes for an entire day. They were hungry to the point that their stomachs rumbled.

Li Xinmei and Zhang Zhizi are both at first stage of Qi Condensation, which was more or less just beginning. They have not formally entered fasting which means that they still need to eat. However because they intend to follow the path of cultivation, they basically won’t eat fish and meat. Especially Li Xinmei, she drinks flower dew and eat grass leaves and roots. This time she held her breath with concentrated attention and laid on her stomach for an entire day while also using spirit energy to maintain the cover over the trap, causing her originally pale face have an even more malnourished look.

Meanwhile, on the contrary, seventy years old lady Su Tingyun’s spirit was not bad. Don’t know if it was because she drank the White Jade Dew, or because she still liked to eat meat. Recently they had killed a lot of earth snakes so Su Tingyun ate roasted snake meat until she was about to throw up.

“The sky is almost dark.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Li Xinmei softly said.

The sun is about to set so trihorn deer probably won’t come to the river to drink anymore. They pretty much wasted today. Although she didn’t continue talking, Su Tingyun and Zhang Zhizi understood her meaning. The setting sun fell on the distant mountain, those bright red cloud had sometime earlier turned dark. That black that seep into the red was just like the heavy feeling in everyone’s hearts.

“We should first go back, I’ll figure out a way to let the trap be less noticeable and we’ll come back tomorrow.” The sky was already dark, trihorn deer won’t come anymore. This river occasionally at night will have violent high level spirit beasts appearing. Their staying here in the morning fed tge mosquitoes. At night if they don’t leave, they’ll fill the stomach of spirit beasts.

Zhang Zhizi nodded his head and was just about to get up when he saw the elderly lady waved her hand.

Su Tingyun after that night when she got sleep paralysis, her senses became very acute. She made a silencing gesture and then lower her body even more. The elderly lady often said she lived a long time, took more path and crossed more bridges than them so she has more experience and knowledge. At the beginning they didn’t believe her. Later they found that she could sense danger and help them avoid it, so they pretty much listen to her now.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The moment the elderly lady told them not to move, Zhang Zhizi and Li Xinmei became very alert and held their breath while looking at the trap area.

Exactly at this moment, a red light flashed, and after that was the stench of a fish smell.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Su Tingyun don’t have much knowledge of the cultivation world’s spirit beasts. She had only seen level one, level two spirit beasts. However, facing that ghastly thing that emit a dangerous air caused Su Tingyun’s whole body to become rigid. Her teeth started clattering, making a ka ka sound.

Her reaction out of the three of them was still the lightest. The other two kids turn deadly pale and started sweating. Looking as if they were about to faint, just like their souls were being crushed.

The monster look similar to a wild boar, but the head was like a small elephant. His tusk was also like the size of an elephant. It had black fur with some white fur in the middle. On the back there was a devil face design and now the entire design was covered with blood. That should be where it was purposely attacked.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The closer the monster got, the bigger the pressure they felt. But that monster was wounded, its back’s design was seeping blood and its expression looks panicked. As if there was something chasing it, it ran without direction and due to this, it ran straight into the trap made by Su Tingyun and the others.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
This time, they were in huge trouble.

Ghost-face pig has a high level. Before, it didn’t notice them because it was running away. Now it noticed the three that were lying in the grass. It had been surrounded and attacked by a group of fraters, that was that. But now, even ant-like weak humans also dared to trap him, even though the ghost-face pig was extremely spent from running, at this moment, it was extremely mad.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Even if it can’t escape today, it must tear these three puny humans to shreds.

Li Xinmei’s trap simply could not contain it. If it wasn’t heavily wounded, how could it possibly have been caught. Its strong thick back leg stomped and its body leapt out of the hole. As for the sharp weapon inside the trap, it didn’t even penetrate its fur. The ghost-face pig ran directly at Su Tingyun those three’s direction right after coming out of the hole. Its speed was extremely fast and in a few steps it had already reach Su Tingyun those three’s heads.

The three people’s power were feeble, under its pressure they all couldn’t move anymore. It could kill them with the most cruel methods.

It wants to crush them and turn them into meat paste.

Soon the beast came over but the two children don’t even move. Su Tingyun displayed her enormous strength. She grabbed a child in each hand and threw herself to the side, dangerously closely dodged the beast’s attack. But her evasion clearly made the other side very angry. Now the beast’s bronze, bell-shaped golden eyes glare at Su Tingyun. That kind of face, like it wanted to chew her to bits. Being glared by it, Su Tingyun feel as if her brain had been stabbed by endless amounts of needles. She breathed heavily a few times before finally calming down a bit .
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The monster’s nose made a snorting sound, and the hot air it snort out seemed to have real fire. Su Tingyun feel a heatwave coming, almost burning her hair.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Now what. Other than the fact that she is stronger than normal, she basically doesn’t know any other way to attack. Not to mention Li Xinmei and Zhang Zhizi were terrified. Xiao Zhang was foaming from the corner of his mouth. She shook Li Xinmei: “Do you know what is this? What is its weakness?”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Li Xinmei’s body was like a fully drawn bow just about to shoot a arrow. Rather more like the entire bow is about to snap. Her deathly pale face struggled, and afterwards spat out a mouthful of blood. She displayed her ambidexterity, drawing out three talisman in a row.

“I also don’t know, low level spirit beast handbook don’t have this.” She gasped for breath before finishing: ” But it should be injured, we should take a chance.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Not low level, that means it’s at least mid level.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Which means, if they can kill this spirit beast. They will at least get one mid level spirit crystal, and may be possible to trade for a nice amount of spirit stones. Most importantly, mid level spirit fur and bones are very good material and can be sold for a high price. They were worrying over the lack of spirit stones. Now there is a chance in front of them.

“If it doesn’t die, then we will die.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
If we don’t succeed, at least we died for a good cause. Li Xinmei took out a pure black dagger that seems to not reflect light. Her face was filled with resolve.

Su Tingyun only wants to run. Because of her sharp intuition, she knows that that the monster in front of them is very dangerous. Even though it was wounded and bleeding all over the place, it isn’t something that the three of them can take on. Except she also knew, now that beast was already targeting her, it’s not like she can escape.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Stake it all?
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
She is now a pile of old bones, could it be that she is going to end up in the beast’s stomach? This world of immortals, she didn’t even get a chance to explore it, that cheap husband, she hasn’t even seen and now she’s going to die like this?
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Su Tingyun carefully backs up, her back almost touching the tree behind her. Her actions cause Li Xinmei’s face show a panicked expression, but she bit down on her teeth and took a step forward, her small body purposefully shielding Su Tingyun. Her hand holding the dagger was slightly shaking, but she still steadily stood in front of Su Tingyun.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Su Tingyun now is seventy years old, but her body wa very large, with thick hands, thick feet, a robust elderly lady. Li Xinmei was a little lady that was not even ten. Even if she was tall for her age, she only reached Su Tingyun’s chest. She can’t shield much of her. Looking at the back of Li Xinmei’s head in front of her chest, Su Tingyun feel an ache in her heart.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
She is the only adult here. No matter what, she can’t let a child shield her.

Right at the second the beast charged, Su Tingyun hugged the large tree behind her. She bit her teeth and stomped her leg, unexpectedly she pulled up the large tree, roots and all. Then she brandished the tree towards the beast and suddenly smash at it. Su Tingyun thought that no matter what this sudden attack should still be able to do some damage but reality caused her to be flabbergasted.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The thick coarse tree unexpectedly split in half and the beast was only sluggish for a moment. Its long boar tusk split the tree trunk in Su Tingyun’s hand in half and then charged towards her angrily. That long point on the boar tusk can split open the tree, it also can directly bore bloody holes in Su Tingyun’s body. Before,  Su Tingyun was the one that received the least pressure. However, at this point, underneath the glare of the angry beast, she hugged the tree and stood there petrified, she could only watch as the beast came closer and closer…

At this time of imminent peril. Li Xinmei blocked the tusk of the beast with the dagger.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Before, their trap had sharpened bamboo and metal, but it was useless against the beast. This time Li Xinmei using the dagger that looks like nothing special to crash against the tusk, to one’s surprise it splash out a golden spark and a notch was cut out of the tusk. The beast momentarily letted out a roar of rage, its head used strength and lifted, flinging Li Xinmei’s small body up to the sky and speared her with its left tusk.

[Chiyomira’s Corner]
Currently Kourii and Panda are working on translating this, but Panda is about to pick up a new series and Kourii is busy with school. Voidlight has dropped this and disappeared off somewhere. He may come back he may not. As for me, I’m busy with school and 4 other series, so I’m considering trying to translate one chapter a month, but a bit reluctant to do so because this series uses a lot of new terms that I’ll have to spend time familiarizing myself with and defining… Well, since there’s winter break and I’ll know whether I get into the scholarship program by December 1st, I promise to have chapter 8 and 9 at least out by December.
