#518 - Chapter 518: Outsmarting the Red-haired Monster

It was a night of unsettling dread, and almost no one slept.

The dawn's light arrived so slowly, so slowly that it almost inspired despair.

When the first ray of dawn filtered through the window lattices and onto the straw in the thatched hut, everyone finally relaxed.

Almost all eyes, bloodshot, slowly closed, gradually sinking into a long-awaited sleep.

"Whew, it's finally dawn."

Little White, huddled in a corner of the main hall, breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw the light.

Ever since he had dealt with Wei Rong's remnant soul, his mind had been throbbing with pain.

Helpless, he had no choice but to stay in the main hall to rest.

Who knew that one rest would stretch until dusk.

Little White felt his stomach rumble with hunger, unbearable to endure.

Fortunately, the area where he was located was not too remote. When he followed Wei Rong all the way here, he had noticed many wild chickens by the roadside.

Therefore, he used his intelligence to catch a few wild chickens, roasted one, and marinated the remaining ones with his unique marinating technique, preparing to give them to his senior sister, Lin Yaoyao, when the time came.

But judging from the earth-shaking momentum of those monsters as they walked, the newcomers were not friendly.

Little White weighed the situation. Seeing that he was alone, and that there were an unknown number of red-haired monsters.

With such a disparity in strength, he was no match for those monsters at all.

So he rationally chose not to go out.

The red-haired monsters' purpose was very clear, as if they knew there was someone in the main hall, heading straight for it.

As the red-haired monsters approached, Little White could almost hear his own heartbeat, so clear.

"What to do? What to do?"

Just as Little White was about to rush out and fight them when the red-haired monsters had already reached the outside of the main hall.

He saw that the red-haired monsters actually stopped, as if they were wary of something, not daring to approach after reaching the outside of the main hall.

Little White took a look, and his excessively frightened heart slowly returned to his chest.

But before Little White could warm his heart, the main hall was plunged into darkness—the sky had finally darkened.

As the last light in the sky dissipated, the red-haired monsters seemed exceptionally excited.

They once again approached the main hall, banging on the door again and again, making wolf-like howls.

Little White panicked, and just as he was about to break out of the door and face the red-haired monsters head-on.

The part of Wei Rong's memory that was fused within Little White's body slowly rose up.

Little White felt a pain in his head, uncontrollably kneeling on the ground.

When he stood up again, Little White's eyes were clear.

He finally knew what those things outside the door were.

These red-haired monsters were evil spirits produced by the countless remnant souls that were suppressed when the ancient God Realm disappeared.

They were immortal and unrestrained by reincarnation.

Anyone who made eye contact with them would die very painfully.

Moreover, there was currently no solution to deal with these evil spirits.

No solution?

After Little White sorted out his thoughts, he couldn't help but sneer.

He, Little White, had been taught by his master, Ye Kong, and had never heard of an unsolvable answer, nor had he ever admitted defeat.

Now, to let him admit defeat so easily was simply impossible.

After Little White resentfully complained, he stared at the group of red-haired monsters.

At this time, the red-haired monsters were still banging on the door, making all kinds of strange noises, trying to attract Little White to actively make eye contact with them.

But Little White always maintained a calm posture, sitting coldly, while his brain was rapidly turning.

Finally, when the group of red-haired monsters banged on the door for the sixth time, Little White observed some clues.

He saw that these red-haired monsters were all habitually staring straight ahead, not looking left or right.

Moreover, their reactions seemed unusually sluggish.

Capturing these two points, Little White immediately acted.

He tore off a leg from the roasted chicken beside him and took out the Seven-Step Pill, a poison he had previously stolen from his senior sister.

He poured out one, crushed it, and evenly smeared it on the chicken meat.

After smearing it, he still smelled it uneasily, and only after confirming that there was no smell did he open a crack in the window and throw it out.

The red-haired monsters' sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and they quickly smelled the scent of the chicken leg.

Almost all the red-haired monsters crowded towards the direction of the chicken leg.

Little White was half happy and half worried when he saw this.

He was happy that the red-haired monsters were indeed stupid, and worried that the red-haired monsters' sense of smell was too sensitive, and it would be bad if they detected the smell of the Seven-Step Pill.

But Little White was completely overthinking it. This Seven-Step Pill was specially found by Ye Yaoyao when she sneaked into the library before leaving.

How could the master's things be of poor quality?

Sure enough, a red-haired monster snatched the chicken leg.

The red-haired monster swallowed hard, and the chicken leg went straight into the red-haired monster's belly.

"One step, two steps,... seven steps, fall!"

When Little White saw the red-haired monster swallow the chicken leg, he immediately put his heart back into his stomach, staring at the red-haired monster and counting.

Just as he counted to the seventh step, the red-haired monster fell to the ground with a "plop", stirring up a cloud of dust.

The moment the red-haired monster fell to the ground, it was rushed up by the red-eyed red-haired monsters behind it, and the entire body was torn into its belly.

So more red-haired monsters fell down.

More red-haired monsters rushed up to devour the corpses of their companions, so more red-haired monsters died...

So it went on and on, and Little White didn't even know how many red-haired monsters had appeared.

Such an endless stream made Little White feel lingering fear, but also a little bit of luck: if he hadn't fused with Wei Rong's memory, he would probably have died beyond death now, right?

When the sky finally brightened, the group of red-haired monsters seemed to be very afraid of seeing the light, and scattered cleanly.

Little White, who had been squatting on the ground all night, not daring to breathe, rubbed his numb legs and couldn't help but vomit wildly.

"Ugh, so disgusting~~"

Whenever Little White thought of the scene he saw the night before when the group of monsters swallowed their own kind, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Little White, what's wrong with you?"

A voice suddenly appeared, asking with concern.

Little White, who was turning his back and vomiting wildly, froze when he heard the footsteps: This person's voice is so familiar.

Little White turned around, not daring to believe it, and sure enough, he saw his senior sister, Lin Yaoyao.

"Senior sister, why are you only coming now?"

At the moment he saw Lin Yaoyao, Little White felt that all his grievances had a place to be told, and he was about to open his mouth to complain.

He saw that Lin Yaoyao's robe was slashed left and right, broken beyond recognition.

Even her hair was disheveled.
