"No, Little Que’er, climb up the tree."

Grandma Li insisted, worried that beasts would rush in and barge into her home.

But under the girl’s resolute gaze, she finally sighed in relief and shut the doors and windows tightly.

Yet she knew clearly that her mottled and shabby little house couldn’t stop the beasts.

She could only pray that the hunters and strong men in the village would kill the beasts immediately.

However, shortly after, a hurried voice came from afar.

"Everyone flee quickly, these aren’t beasts, there’s a demon beast in the village, hurry to the Beast Defense Cave!"

Upon hearing this voice, Grandma Li’s face changed dramatically, full of terror.

Demon beast in the village!

Though demon beast and beast differ by just one word, they are worlds apart!

With beasts, the village hunters can handle them.

But demon beasts are something these ordinary hunters cannot deal with.

Even if resolved, the casualties would be heavy!

Back then, her whole family encountered demon beasts entering the village, leaving her as the sole survivor.

"Little Que’er, go quickly, to the Beast Defense Cave!"

The Beast Defense Cave is an underground shelter built by the village to prevent demon beast attacks; it’s also used to store grains and dry food.

However, as the two had just walked a short distance from the small fenced yard, they saw a towering Hungqing Fierce Tiger holding a bloody, incomplete corpse, chilling to the core.

"Aunt Li!"

Little Que’er recognized the incomplete body in Hungqing Fierce Tiger’s mouth as Aunt Li, who usually took quite good care of her.

Her head buzzed, never having seen such a scene before.

"Little Que’er, run quickly."

The elderly woman also recognized the incomplete corpse but didn’t dare look longer, quickly leading the little girl to hurry to the back mountain.

However, her age was too advanced, her figure hunched, and her speed was far too slow.

At that moment, Hungqing Fierce Tiger seemed to smell something, looking toward Little Que’er.

"Roar!"

Hungqing Fierce Tiger swallowed the incomplete corpse and roared toward the girl, charging and pouncing, stirring up a dreadful and foul wind.

"Little Que’er."

The elderly woman saw this, urgently signaled Little Que’er to run.

But the speed of Hungqing Fierce Tiger was too fast, in a flash pouncing toward the two.

"Boom!!!"

Little Que’er was knocked down, while Grandma Li flew sideways under the foul wind, crashing heavily to the side, the sound of bones fracturing audible.

"Grandma!"

Little Que’er saw Grandma’s head bleeding, her expression urgent and vexed, wanting to shake off Hungqing Fierce Tiger.

Yet, a startling scene occurred; under Hungqing Fierce Tiger’s claws, she struggled and broke free slightly.

"Roar!!!"

Hungqing Fierce Tiger opened its bloody maw, biting toward her directly.

The girl’s body trembled, blood seemed to flow backward before her eyes turned red, shouting loudly, throwing Hungqing Fierce Tiger off her.

"Grandma!"

The girl broke free from the constraints, hurriedly going forward to check on Grandma.

Grandma’s murky eyes were gently closed, breathing faint and weak, blood flowing from the back of her head.

"Poor Grandma!"

Little Que’er’s mind went blank, buzzing, eyes red, shouting, unsure of what to do.

"What’s happening!?"

At this moment, a few hunters and fleeing villagers not far away saw the situation here, faces filled with disbelief, amazement, jaws dropped.

Little Que’er actually struggled free from the demon beast’s grasp.

"Roar!!!"

Hungqing Fierce Tiger opened its bloody maw again, charging toward Little Que’er, intending to devour her.

Little Que’er’s whole body trembled, her delicate little hands clenched tightly into fists, then swung toward the charging Hungqing Fierce Tiger.

At this moment, a hazy breathing method from a dream unconsciously surfaced in her mind.

Motions of transporting Qi-Blood lines images continuously appeared in her mind, an unprecedented breath.

The young body’s Qi-Blood boiled and roared, reverberating through the five viscera and six bowels, a clear and resonant Phoenix’s cry seemed to echo, crisp and unmistakable.

"Boom!"

Even so, the young girl was still knocked backwards heavily by the tiger’s strike, crashing onto the ground, dust flying everywhere.

She was still too young.

Even if she inherited her parents’ talent, True Spirit Bloodline, she was ultimately too young, and she was born incomplete.

"This, this, this..."

Hunters and villagers not far away were stunned as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

A 6 or 7-year-old girl actually went up against a terrible demon beast!

Even those hunters who practiced the Martial Path couldn’t do this.

"Is Little Que’er also a demon?"

A hunter swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.

Little Que’er was adopted by Grandma Li early on, and her failure to grow over these years wasn’t a secret in the village. .

But such matters weren’t given much thought, only considered as developmental issues.

Yet at this moment, the girl’s situation could no longer be described using common sense.

"Roar!!!"

Hungqing Fierce Tiger was enraged by the girl’s actions, roars forming sound waves, continuing to pounce and bite toward her.

At this moment, the girl’s mind was nearly blank, without any fear, only wanting to kill this tiger and quickly help Grandma stop the bleeding.

Her tender fists extended, as if instinctively, fiercely pounding, forming a series of tiger and leopard thunder sounds.

If it were an ordinary beast, it might be beaten to death by the young girl, but this was a demon beast!

Even the most basic demon beast is unlike ordinary mortals.

"Splatter!"

Hungqing Fierce Tiger’s sharp teeth bit into the girl’s arm, seeming to break her delicate limb.

But as blood seeped out, it seemed to transform into magma flames, scorching Hungqing Fierce Tiger, causing intense pain howls.

Meanwhile, on the girl’s pale neck, a wood plaque bearing the character "Que" emitted a brilliant light, forming a blazing fire that burned Hungqing Fierce Tiger to ash directly.

"This, this, this..."

Villagers and hunters saw this scene from afar, looked at each other, all displaying fearful and alarmed expressions.

"What’s going on?"

Little Que’er was bewildered, not knowing what happened.

She didn’t think much, despite the arm’s pain; she looked toward the motionless elderly woman lying on the ground in the distance, shouting: "Grandma!"

"Grandma! Grandma!"

No matter how she shouted, Grandma didn’t respond.

She knew Grandma was asleep and quickly used her clothes to bandage and stop the bleeding.

"Uncle Zhao, Grandma is bleeding, do you have herbs?"

Little Que’er looked at villagers frozen in place, somewhat panic-stricken, perplexed, and frightened, knowing that blood loss requires not only bandaging but also applying medicine.

However, these villagers, upon seeing her, scattered as if seeing a monster, completely unlike their usual amiable and friendly selves.
