Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Beast's Fury, the Madman's Adventurous Adventure with a Poisonous Scheme
"Awooo~~" A powerful and oppressive roar, like a heavy bomb, exploded in the valley, causing the surrounding air to buzz. Luo Qingci, who was leisurely strolling through the valley, perked up her ears and widened her eyes instantly. Her excitement was like that of a little thief who had discovered a treasure. She clapped her hands and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Good heavens! Just from that noise, I know there's going to be a huge show! I absolutely can't miss this spectacle!"
Having said that, she leaped and bounded off like a stimulant monkey, rushing towards the sound. She hadn't gone far before turning back to make an exaggeratedly funny face at the frozen figure, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, her tongue lolling out, and shouting, "You just stay here quietly and wait for me to come back. I'll tell you about this incredibly exciting adventure; I guarantee you'll be speechless!"
The mysterious man was frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Luo Qingci's cheerful figure receded into the distance. Furious, he roared, "You crazy girl, you just ran off like that, leaving me here like this? Fine, just don't get into any danger, or don't expect me to save you!" But only the valley's merciless echo answered him. He rolled his eyes so hard they almost disappeared, muttering to himself, "What terrible luck I've had to run into such an unreliable crazy girl! Once I'm free, I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Luo Qingci sped along the rugged, jagged mountain path, moving at a speed comparable to a gust of wind. In no time, she reached the source of the sound. Before her stood a colossal beast covered in sharp spikes, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, its imposing presence overwhelming. This beast was as massive as a small mountain; with each step it took, the ground trembled slightly. Its lantern-like eyes gleamed with a chilling, bloodthirsty light, as if proclaiming to the world: "I am the ruler of this place, and no one can challenge me!"
"Wow! This thing is quite unique!" Luo Qingci put her hands on her hips, tilted her head playfully to one side, as if admiring a one-of-a-kind work of art. Her face showed no fear, but rather flushed with excitement, her lips curled up, and she said confidently, "I'll teach you a lesson today, and show you what I'm capable of. You'll obediently bow down and submit to me! Don't be too pathetic kneeling and begging for mercy later!" As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly pulled a small, exquisite bottle from her medicine pouch. The bottle contained a liquid that emitted a five-colored light, which was particularly dazzling in the dim valley. This was the "Illusory Light Poison" that she had carefully developed after forty-nine days of seclusion.
She raised the bottle high, mustered all her strength, and hurled it at the giant beast like a grenade. "Bang!" The bottle exploded precisely in front of the beast, and a surge of multicolored light instantly enveloped it. Struck by the light, the beast seemed to have its tail set on fire, letting out a painful and furious roar. Its body twisted wildly, trying to escape the eerie light, looking like a bound strongman struggling desperately, emitting angry "woof woof" sounds. "Haha, how about that? Not bad, right? Feeling particularly 'sour and refreshing'? I'm asking you, are you convinced or not!" Luo Qingci laughed so hard she almost fell over, her smugness practically overflowing, as if to say, "I knew you couldn't handle it. In front of me, you're just a small fry."
However, this behemoth was not one to give up easily. It swung its incredibly thick head violently, the force of which actually dispersed some of the illusory poison. Then, like a runaway heavy truck, it charged madly towards Luo Qingci. Each step kicked up clouds of dust, like a sandstorm, and the surrounding trees trembled from the impact. Luo Qingci's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, it's got some spirit! Looks like I'll have to get serious! Otherwise, you'll really underestimate me!" She nimbly dodged, weaving left and right through the mountains like a nimble deer, while secretly calculating in her mind: "This big guy is much harder to deal with than I imagined. Looks like I won't be able to handle it without showing some real skill! Today, I'll make sure you submit!"
Thinking of this, she quickly pulled out another handful of silver needles from her medicine pouch. These needles were coated with potent poison, gleaming coldly in the sunlight. With a flick of her wrist, she launched the needles at the giant beast like projectiles. The needles rained down on the beast, causing it to slow its pace noticeably, but its fierce eyes showed no sign of retreat. It stubbornly continued to approach Luo Qingci, letting out a low growl as if to say, "I will not let you go easily."
"It seems poison alone won't work!" Luo Qingci frowned, a thoughtful expression on her face. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, an idea forming in her mind. She took out a small horn from her medicine pouch. This horn was made of an extremely rare bone, said to produce a sound that could drive wild beasts mad instantly when blown.
She placed the horn to her lips, took a deep breath, and blew it with all her might. A sharp, piercing sound instantly echoed through the valley, like blades slicing through the silent air, startling the surrounding birds into flight. The giant beast, upon hearing the sound, was initially stunned, as if frozen in place, then became even more ferocious, smashing wildly against the surrounding rocks like a madman. In an instant, rubble flew, dust billowed, and the entire valley was thrown into turmoil by the frenzied commotion, cracking the surrounding ground.
"Haha, it worked! I knew my treasure would work! There's nothing I, Luo Qingci, can't handle!" Luo Qingci laughed triumphantly, waving her hands in the air, her face beaming with victory, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if to say, "I'm that amazing, no one can compare." But before she could celebrate for long, the giant beast suddenly turned around and charged towards her again, faster than before. The madness in its eyes seemed to want to devour her alive, leaving deep footprints in the ground beneath its feet.
"Oh my god, this is too much!" Luo Qingci's face changed instantly. She took off running, moving as fast as the wind, the air she created rustling through the surrounding grass. As she ran, she mentally cursed, "This giant thing is like it's on steroids, going all out! I should have known better than to provoke it! But it's exciting, this is the kind of adventure I've been looking for! This is more than enough!" Despite being chased and fleeing in a sorry state by the giant beast, there was no fear in her eyes, but rather a gleam of excitement, as if she were enjoying this crazy and thrilling chase. She was practically jumping for joy, shouting from time to time, "Come on, chase me! Let's see if you can catch me!"
