& leaving the Three Mountains Pass, this run is over a hundred miles.
As the sun began to set, Deng Chanyu finally arrived at her destination.
As the sunset glow faded, a layer of golden hues blanketed the sky. On the river's surface, the clear azure waters rippled and flowed in silent melodies. The pebbles at the riverbed displayed a variety of colors and shapes, resembling vibrant gems full of life.
Deng Chanyu took a deep breath, at that moment, all the worldly troubles dissipated, leaving only this beauty presented before her, making her feel at peace and wonderful.
She told her war horse to drink water by the side and herself took off her shoes and socks, pulled up her pants, and went down to the river to feel the stones.
The multi-colored stone, as the name implies, emits a brilliant, dazzling light with a variety of colors after being shot out.
Common pebbles cannot meet her requirements. According to her previous experience in feeling stones, only those that can emit light themselves are considered five-color stones.
As for why the stones would glow and whether they had radiation, she didn't know and didn't care to find out.
The river was not swift, so she whistled to her war horse, signaling it to follow her. Then, while searching, she walked upstream.
The scene of the setting sun, the brook, and the young girl together is incredibly harmonious. However, this tranquility was still disrupted by an unexpected crisis. Deng Chanyu was alerted, and she saw a giant python about ten meters long, with a bowl-like thickness in diameter, suddenly coming towards her and sticking its red tongue out. As if she could see her own reflection in those blood-red eyes.
Deng Chanyu remained calm and collected, observing the movements of the giant snake instead of panicking.
The giant python slightly lifted its head, and its cold eyes were filled with ferocity and malice.
Deng Chanyu's right hand slowly lowered to her waist.
Her nimble fingers flicked and picked open the bag hanging at her waist, containing the five-colored stones.
The five-colored stones need to be polished, and the newly found ones feel rough, not suitable. She is still using the very familiar old stones at this moment.
With a rotation of her wrist, just as the giant python was about to attack, the five-colored stone shot out like a streak from her fingertips, emitting a brilliant light and striking the python's head directly.
The stone didn't hit the python's eyes as she had anticipated. In the moment she launched the stone, she was still slightly flustered, and the stone grazed the python's forehead.
The transmigrator had previously believed that she had fully inherited Deng Chanyu's stone-throwing skill, but when it came to life-and-death situations, she realized she was still short of the mark.
The thrown stone enraged the giant python, and its stench and tail came at her face. Deng Chanyu's powerful slash with the long knife was blocked by its scales, and the tremendous impact sent her flying.
Even a broken snake couldn't be defeated, how would she face enemies like Yang Jian and Kong Zhan in the future? Her anger finally allowed Deng Chanyu to overcome the last trace of weakness in her heart as she hung in mid-air.
It's a fight to the death, there's nothing to fear.
It's all or nothing! She pulled out another five-colored stone, relying on the last rays of the sunset, and threw it with the skill she had honed during her daily training. In an instant when she saw the python's green, greasy eyes, she did not hesitate and flung the stone.
The giant python let out an ear-piercing roar, striking its tail fiercely against the river surface. Then, it was seen that its left eye emitted a cloud of blood.
Satisfying! Deng Chanyu felt that a violent emotion was vented at this moment, and the weight on her heart dispersed by two tenths.
Three hundred miles away from the Three Mountains Pass, the mysterious and strange stone in her room also rose a misty cloud with her mindset shift at this moment. The red light in the five-color glow became exceptionally intense, while the black, white, blue, and yellow colors visibly dimmed. An extraordinary energy was rapidly accumulating, and several tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the stone.
"Beast, where do you run!" Deng Chanyu scored a hit in battle, greatly increasing her confidence. Taking advantage of the python's roar, she launched another stone and blinded the python's other eye.
Such a large snake, brought back to the Three Mountains Pass, would at least allow her to boast for half a month.
Deng Chanyu's original self might not have hunted such a large prey, but she was doing it for the first time. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't boast about it.
The python's intelligence was higher than expected. Realizing that it had lost both eyes, it had turned from the hunter into the hunted, and ran away immediately. Deng Chanyu chased after it.
The disadvantage of the five-colored stone's low damage was still exposed, as its attacks were mostly effective on the eyes, and had little effect on other parts.
Even with low visibility at night and during a high-speed chase, her accuracy was terrifyingly high. Unfortunately, the flying stones could only cause the python to lose some scales and flesh, and in the end, the python still charged into the forest from the riverbank.
As the last rays of the sunset fell, the forest at night became incredibly tranquil. The rustling sound of the wind through the leaves masked the sound of the python's movement. Deng Chanyu stopped regretfully, facing the dark forest. She had no need to take a risk.
With the heat of battle subsiding, Deng Chanyu felt slightly more calm. A kind of intuitive signal prompted her to look back towards the direction of the Three Mountains Pass.
What is over there? The signal came quickly and went quickly. She shook her head, assuming it was a hallucination after the battle.
She was about to return the same way when she heard a "roar" from beside her.
A black bear over two meters tall had been hiding in the shadows and now stood up, smashing its palm towards her head.
Her fingers were holding the flying stone, calculating the distance between them in secret. Just as she was about to throw the stone, another fierce black wild boar burst out from the side.
One against two.
The cooperation between the two fierce beasts was impressive.
Deng Chanyu, following her usual routine, blinded the bear's left eye with a dazzling stone.
Deng's flying stones are powerful mainly because they combine the excellent characteristics of solar fists and Xiao Li Feidao skills, first causing blindness, and then targeting the eyes.
After throwing the stone, she did not look at the result. Holding her long sword and with a resolute fighting spirit, she turned around and sliced at the wild boar's right neck.
The wild boar, filled with ferocity, charged towards her like a projectile.
Deng Chanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she forced herself to remain calm. She plunged her long knife into the wild boar's neck, and the blade caught on its bones. With a kick to her legs, she leaped upward, using the wild boar as a springboard, and vanished in mid-air like a gazelle. The bear's attack was completely wasted.
She allowed the long knife to remain in the wild boar's body and fired a series of stones, scattering them like a heavenly maiden spreading flowers. The flying stones first shattered the bear's eyes, and then three holes, as small as a fingertip, appeared in its forehead, heart, and neck.
Ignoring the bear's scream as it died, Deng Chanyu dealt with the wild boar in the same manner. Standing on the boar's body, her long hair rustled in the cold wind. With a blank expression, she pulled out the long knife and casually wiped the blade on the boar's mane.
"Satisfying!" The exhilarating battle of life and death was completely different from her usual sparring with generals. She enjoyed the thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife.
The bear's dying scream echoed through the dense forest at night, attracting the animal pack. Seven or eight leopards, dozens of wolves, and even a colorful giant tiger and a hawk circling in the sky, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment, emerged from their dens and surrounded Deng Chanyu from the four cardinal directions.
In this moment, the beasts showed an unprecedented unity, as if Deng Chanyu were their mortal enemy.
Deng Chanyu calculated that she could handle three or five beasts alone, but the current number of beasts was too overwhelming. The eyes of the beasts were all glowing with green light, and if she continued to advance, she would be a fool.
Accompanied by a tiger's roar, the beast pack launched a wave-like attack.
