Chapter 3: Are They Transformed from Ferocious Beasts?
“Big Sister, Dad said that the Imperial Capital seems to be in the Middle Province?”
“Yes, Dad also said that our Dàshí Village is in Lánzhōu, and the Middle Province is south of Lánzhōu, so it should be south of Dàshí Village.”
“Big Sister, do you know which direction is south?”
High in the sky, the two siblings talked while flying.
But upon hearing the last question, Chu Xin suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Chu Chen almost crashed into her, but fortunately, his skill in controlling his saber was excellent. He swerved past Chu Xin on his Heaven Breaking Saber, stopping a few dozen meters ahead, and complained, “Big Sister, why did you suddenly stop? I almost crashed into you.”
Chu Xin ignored him, extending her fair fingers and pointing forward, backward, left, and right. Her delicate brows furrowed.
Obviously, she didn’t know which direction was south either.
Chu Chen flew back, looked at the ant-sized mountains and forests below, looked around again, and asked, “Big Sister, should we go back and ask Village Chief Grandpa?”
Pa!
Chu Xin lightly tapped Chu Chen’s head with her small, fair hand and rolled her eyes, “You fool, we finally managed to run away. If we go back now, do you think Village Chief Grandpa will let us out again?”
Although Village Chief Grandpa couldn’t beat her, she wouldn’t dare to hit Village Chief Grandpa either.
Although Dad usually had a good temper, if she dared to hit the grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunties, big brothers, big sisters, little brothers, and little sisters in the village, Dad would really spank her until her bottom blossomed.
“Then what should we do?” Chu Chen rubbed his little head and asked.
“Forget it, let’s just go. We’ll ask when we find a place with people.”
Chu Xin waved her hand, and the two siblings continued to fly forward.
They flew for an unknown amount of time until they finally saw a group of ant-like figures moving below.
“There are people, let’s go down and ask.”
Chu Xin cheered, made a hand seal, and the Heaven Slaying Sword descended from the clouds, swooping down.
“Big Sister, wait for me.”
Chu Chen quickly followed.
The two siblings, one after the other, fell like meteors, stopping in mid-air and looking down at the ground.
They saw a group of ten-foot-tall azure wolves surrounding a group of women.
The azure wolves spat out wind blades, destroying trees wherever they passed, demonstrating extremely strong destructive power.
However, the women’s movement techniques and sword techniques were also very exquisite, dodging attacks while counterattacking.
Unfortunately, there were too many azure wolves, densely packed, seemingly endless.
“Big Sister, wow, so many big dogs. How long will it take to grill them?”
Chu Chen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the azure wolves, excited.
Besides practicing his saber techniques, his greatest hobby was grilling meat.
As long as it wasn’t human, he wanted to grill everything he saw.
“So many big dogs, how long will it take to eat them?”
Chu Xin’s eyes also lit up, and she licked her lips with her little tongue, swallowing hard.
Besides practicing her sword techniques, her greatest hobby was eating the meat her little brother grilled.
“Little Brother, get the tools ready. I’m going first.”
She was so greedy for food that she couldn’t wait. She jumped directly from the Heaven Slaying Sword, which transformed into a streak of light and entered her body.
Dad said that she shouldn’t use that sword to fight unless absolutely necessary, as bad people might try to steal it.
With a loud bang, the ground shook, and dust flew.
The sudden commotion startled both the women and the azure wolves, and they all turned to look.
However, as far as the eye could see, there were only azure wolves and nothing else unusual.
The next moment, the howls of azure wolves rang out, and a ten-foot-tall azure wolf soared into the air, flying towards the group of women.
“Protect the Provincial Governor.”
The women thought it was an attack from the azure wolves and quickly surrounded a woman wearing a bamboo hat, protecting her.
Boom!
The azure wolf crashed to the ground, struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
“It’s dead?”
The women were stunned.
◈◈◈
Before they could figure out what was happening, more azure wolf corpses flew in at an even faster speed, leaving the women completely bewildered.
Fortunately, the azure wolves surrounding them were also a bit confused and didn’t take the opportunity to attack.
“Provincial Governor, could it be that a stronger demon beast has arrived?”
Suddenly, one of the women swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice.
Her words made everyone even more vigilant.
Stronger than azure wolves?
Wouldn’t that be a fifth-rank, or even a sixth-rank demon beast?
Each of the azure wolves here was a fourth-rank demon beast, comparable to a Martial King, and they could barely handle them.
But if a fifth-rank demon beast, comparable to a Martial Venerable, or even a sixth-rank demon beast, comparable to a Martial Emperor, appeared, they would probably be wiped out.
The woman wearing the bamboo hat frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes. If this person behind the scenes can even command fifth-rank demon beasts, their strength is terrifying. Can I still reach Lánzhōu City safely?
Just then, a flute sound rang out, but it was impossible to tell where it came from.
The originally confused azure wolves’ eyes flashed red, and they turned to attack the women again, even more ferociously than before.
The women fought back with all their might, but there were too many azure wolves, and they were constantly shrinking the encirclement, leaving them less and less room to maneuver.
Boom!
At this moment, a dark shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of the women, shaking the ground violently. Several nearby azure wolves were even thrown into the air.
When the dust settled, the women were dumbfounded to see who had fallen in front of them.
“A child?”
“He looks no more than three years old.”
“He fell from the sky?”
“Is that a big pot he’s holding? And a strange-looking rack?”
The women couldn’t believe it. How could a three-year-old child cause such a commotion?
What was even more unbelievable was that this child was holding a large pot that was three times his size in one hand and a strange-looking black rack in the other.
“This child…”
When the Provincial Governor saw Chu Chen, she felt a strange sense of familiarity and couldn’t help but look puzzled.
“Auntie, please take care of the pot and the grill.”
Chu Chen threw the big pot and the grill in front of the women and then rushed into the confused azure wolf pack.
“Be careful, those azure wolves are fourth-rank demon beasts.”
The Provincial Governor was startled. Such a small child wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between the azure wolves’ teeth.
But before she could finish speaking, she saw Chu Chen jump onto an azure wolf and swing his chubby little fist, smashing it into the wolf’s head.
With a crack, the azure wolf howled, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
“This…”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
That was a fourth-rank demon beast, comparable to a Martial King, and it was killed by that three-year-old child with a single punch?
While everyone was in a state of shock, Chu Chen leaped into the air again and landed in the middle of the wolf pack. Then, one by one, the azure wolves were sent flying, each one twitching a few times before dying after landing.
And on the other side, the same scene was playing out.
Now they could see clearly that it was a very delicate-looking three-year-old girl.
She was also waving her small, fair hands, taking down one azure wolf with each punch.
Even the wind blades and other attacks from the azure wolves were shattered by her punches.
The wolf pack that had forced the women into a desperate situation was now piled high with corpses in an instant.
The key was that they didn’t sense any True Qi fluctuations from the two children, meaning they were relying solely on their physical strength and defense.
“Too terrifying. Are they transformed from ferocious beasts?”
The women swallowed hard, their faces filled with horror.
