Chapter 2 — Salty Fish Sister: Slipped to the Fairy Peak
In the original work, she herself plotted to harm the original owner in the secret realm, causing me to "accidentally" die! I took a slight step back, hiding right behind Tieu Han, trying my best to minimize my existence. Tieu Han glanced at me, his expression cold, but said nothing. To Dao Dao saw this scene, her eyes slightly darkened for a moment, but quickly regained her gentle look and turned to Tieu Han: "Senior brother Tieu... How about this time, let's group up?" Tieu Han: "No need." The gentle smile on To Dao Dao's lips stopped, condensing into a forced line. I stood behind, tried to hold back, but still let out a voice: "Phew..." Oh my god, I'm so excited that I'm dying! Tieu Han, you are truly... my true guardian! Entering the secret realm, I discovered - This place is not a trial field at all, but a giant maze! Thick fog covered all four sides, vision was blurred, the deep screams of demonic beasts vaguely echoed from deep underground, making my back cold. Tieu Han pulled out his sword, his fingers clenched slightly, his eyes as sharp as ice: "Follow me." I nodded like a drum, holding his sleeves with both hands, not letting go! “GROOOO!” A Three-Eyed Demon Wolf nearly two feet tall, gray hair standing up, rushed straight towards us from the fog! Tieu Han took out his sword! The sword light is like a rainbow, blazing through the mist! But —— The demon wolf dodged, his figure was as fast as lightning, narrowly escaping! Tieu Han frowned slightly, his voice low: "No... this monster has intelligence." I swallowed my saliva and carefully suggested: “So… or… should we run away?” Tieu Han: “……” (It seemed like he was trying to restrain himself from hitting my head on the ground. The next moment, the demon wolf pounced again! Tieu Han tilted his body, his long sword ready to receive the attack, his aura was as cold as an ice mountain. Just as he was about to unleash his ultimate move —— I slipped. “Pop!” I fell straight to the ground. Demon wolf: “???” Tieu Han: “???” Then, a strange thing happened —— The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf suddenly screamed miserably, as if being stabbed. An invisible force hit, flew back dozens of feet, crashed into the cliff with a "bang"! The whole audience: "???" Tieu Han: "..." He slowly turned his head, his deep eyes locked on me - At this time, I was still crawling on the ground, my face trembling, I seriously opened my mouth: "I... said... I was scared to the point of weakness, do you... believe it?" Tieu Han: "..." The murderous aura was gone His eyes seemed to flash with suspicion and surprise. 3 "Lin Tieu Ngu!" Tieu Han pulled me up with one hand, his eyes were cold and sharp like a sword, as if it wanted to pierce my soul: "Who are you...?!" I brushed the dust off my skirt, my face innocent and clear: "I? Disciple Thanh Van... the number one trash." Tieu Han: "..." His expression clearly read the words: "You think I'm stupid sure?" I sighed, my tone as serious as a great senior advised: "Senior Brother Tieu, cultivating immortals is the most important thing. Look, your eyebrows are so tight that you can pinch a fly to death." Tieu Han: "Crack -—! I swear I heard a sound of teeth cracking. The system in my head seriously warned: "Host, you are playing with fire." I calmly replied: "No, I is... lying in the sun sunny." At this moment —— the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf suddenly staggered up, his whole body covered in injuries, his three eyes glaring, his expression as if saying: "I am suspicious of wolf birth." “Grr…??” (Translation: “Just now… what the hell happened?!”) Me: “……” Don't ask me, I don't know either. Tieu Han tightened his grip on the long sword, the sword light was as cold as frost, and said in a deep voice: "Back off." I obediently took three steps back and conveniently... pulled out a bag of melon seeds from my storage. Tieu Han: “……” “What are you… doing?” I peeled the shell and smiled with my eyes: "Just sitting and watching a play." Brother Tieu, do your best!” Tieu Han: "..." The corner of his lips trembled, as if trying to suppress his murderous intent. The ghost is really angry! It raised its head and howled, its demonic energy exploded, swirling into killing circles, its spiritual pressure pressing in like a tide. Tieu Han's face was serious, true essence was circulating, the tip of the sword flashed with bone-chilling cold light, preparing to unleash the killing move - "Shop!!" … I fell again. This time, my left foot caught my right foot, I directly rolled a perfect salty fish circle, rushing like lightning - "BAM!!" 100% accurate: straight into the stomach of the Three Eyes Ma Lang! Ma Lang: “???” Tieu Han: “???” Invisible audience in the void: “???” The very next moment —— “BAM!!!” There was an earth-shattering explosion, air waves rolled, and the surrounding trees were swept away within a ten-meter range. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Tam Nhan Ma Lang lay sprawled, unconscious on the spot. Tieu Han turned around, his eyes were dark, tightly locking me - I hadn't had time to stand up yet, my face was covered in mud, I raised my hand tremblingly: "I... said... I slipped... do you believe it?" Tieu Han: "..." This time, his eyes completely changed - mixed with surprise, doubt, and a hint of... disbelief. The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf seemed to be hit directly by an invisible great hammer. His whole body flew away, breaking three spirit trees before making a "bang" sound and lying motionless. Completely unconscious on the spot. Tieu Han: “……” Me: “……” The system happily announced: “Host congratulations! Passive skill ‘Salty Fish Flip’ has automatically leveled up —— Now renamed: ‘Salty Fish Assault’.” Me: “……” … 666, it's too domineering. Tieu Han was silent for a long minute. Finally, he slowly put away his sword and walked towards me. A tall figure descended, its cold breath enveloped me, and its sharp eyes seemed to pierce me lying on the ground. “Lin Tieu Ngu.” "Have!" (Conditioned reflex, stand at attention like a good disciple.) Tieu Han took a deep breath, his voice was low: "Are you... hiding your cultivation base?" I blinked innocently and replied solemnly: "Senior Brother Xiao, if I really hid my cultivation, could I still have been scared by a wolf just now?" Tieu Han: "..." His eyes suddenly became blurred, as if his entire perception of the world had just collapsed in half. To Dao Dao stood in front of the engraved glass mirror, seeing all the images just now, her face became more and more gloomy. “Lin Tieu Ngu… how is that possible?!” She clearly arranged the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf to do the test, originally wanting to see that waste being torn apart. The result? The wolf was knocked away, but she only needed one fall to counterattack?! To Dao Dao's long fingers pressed tightly into her palm, her nails were dug deep, blood seeped out: "This... is impossible!" Next to him, a dark figure knelt, his voice hoarse: "Miss, do we need to activate the second plan?" To Dao Dao Squinting his eyes, the corner of his lips curled up in a bone-chilling smile: "No need. Let them continue to go deeper... Soon, 'that thing' will find them on its own." In the depths of her eyes, a poisonous light flashed like a gliding snake. We continue to go deeper into the mysterious maze. However, the way Tieu Han looked at me became more and more strange. For example, right now —— I turned around and asked cautiously: “Senior brother Tieu, why do you keep looking at me so intently?” Tieu Han: "You just... why did you go left?" I gnawed on the spirit fruit and calmly replied: "There is a rock on the right." Tieu Han narrowed his eyes: "That rock... is three meters away from you." I shrugged my shoulders, looking sincere: "Well, I'm just too lazy to go around." Tieu Han: "..." He has a premonition... If he keeps going with me like this, his heart will collapse before leaving the secret realm. Tieu Han: “……” His expression seemed to be saying: “I… can't find a reason to refute.” The sound of fierce fighting rang out from the front! We quickly rushed forward, only to see a few disciples being surrounded on all sides by a group of poisonous Fire Scorpions, the situation was hanging by a thread! “It's senior brother Thanh Kiem Phong!” Tieu Han's face became extremely serious, his hand tightened on the hilt of his sword, about to rush forward. I immediately grabbed his sleeve: "Wait!" Tieu Han: “?” I took a deep breath and said seriously: "Senior brother Tieu, don't you think... this group of scorpions appeared too coincidental?" Tieu Han narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean... someone set up an array?" I nodded strongly: "Not only that, look - they only surrounded a few Thanh Kiem Peak disciples, but didn't spread out at all, it's like..." "Being controlled."
