There was still no response for a long time, and the demon was stunned. She had never seen such a mortal, how could his body be so full of energy and blood? She subconsciously walked towards the place where the sound of iron was heard.
Qin Bai's majestic body turned slightly pale, and then the sound of hammering suddenly stopped, and a thick arm grabbed the demon's neck from the blood mist.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Although I don't know what breed you are, I just want to die here."
Under the scholar's incredible gaze, the hammer struck the demon's head from top to bottom. Only a shrill scream was heard, followed by the sound of the hammer swinging continuously.
The demon also tried to resist, but her methods were useless against Qin Bai. With the absolute power, she aroused the opponent's ferocity and became more and more powerful.
"Eighty for a big hammer and forty for a small hammer. It's already pretty good if I don't charge you any money."
"Looking at your bloody state, the strengthening must have failed. No, I have to hammer it a few more times."
"Why didn't you come earlier? Do you know how boring the mountains are?"
…
The scholar looked at Qin Bai muttering nonsense like a mental patient. For some reason, he felt more frightened than the demon.
The sound of the hammer lasted for half an hour before it stopped. Qin Bai was already covered in blood, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he was cleaning his hammer in the sink nearby.
All that was left of the demon was a mutilated corpse, with splatters of flesh and blood all over the room, exuding a disgusting smell of blood.
Qin Bai opened the wooden door and walked out, followed by the scholar with a dull face. The two of them looked at the rising sun together and were speechless for a long time.
The scholar barely regained some consciousness. No matter how scary the person next to him was, he was still a human being and would not kill him ruthlessly.
He turned to look at Qin Bai, only to see him staring at him with wide eyes.
"What...what's wrong?"
"Your fucking name is Ning Caichen?!"
"Xiaosheng...Ning Caichen..."
Ning Caichen wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at Qin Bai's tiger eyes like copper bells, his legs felt weak.
"Why do you look like this?"
"Your skin and hair is from your parents……"
Ning Caichen's appearance was somewhat similar to Qiao Shan's, with a big face and small eyes. For a moment, he couldn't believe it.
Qin Bai was furious. After beating the demon to death, the system prompted him to unlock a series of achievements, and the sign-in time immediately returned to zero.
His personal information appeared on the system interface, with an extra column.
Supernatural Power: "Wrought Iron"
If you focus on the wrought iron, you can see the specific information about this magical power.
A hundred forged into steel, a thousand forged into me.
Passively improves defense, and after actively consuming a weapon, you can also temporarily gain a defense bonus.
After Qin Bai completed the sign-in task, his whole body felt like it was being eaten by tens of thousands of ants, and the pain was unbearable.
However, he returned to normal after a few breaths. He pulled hard on his skin, which was as tough as a piece of cowhide.
But now his body can no longer be broken by ordinary weapons. If the monster were to come again, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to hurt him so easily.
But before he could be happy for long, a new sign-in task in the system had appeared, and he sadly discovered that it was actually related to Liaozhai.
"Please escort Ning Caichen to Lanruo Temple within fifteen days to start the sign-in task."
Qin Bai looked at the big bloody characters on the system page. He knew what the warning meant, and his expression became more and more distorted.
As long as he did not complete the task mentioned by the system, the next step would be an extremely terrifying experience. He had already experienced these once, and naturally he did not want to experience them a second time.
Qin Bai is not a native of this world, but he has been here for more than thirty years.
Ben is the only son of a farming family. His parents died early, so he can only survive by relying on his precocious wisdom as a time traveler.
When he was fifteen years old, Qin Bai activated the system panel, but before he could get excited for a long time, the system asked him to go to a place in Beiyang Mountain to start signing in.
By the time Qin Bai arrived at that place, a mountain stronghold had been set up, and he was forced to join forces with the bandits.
He originally thought that he would leave as soon as possible after successfully signing in, but the system panel actually prompted him to sign in for a full thirty years.
Qin Bai naturally refused to waste so much time here, but the system forcibly restricted him to stay in the small village.
He had no choice but to stay and forge. Fortunately, he could complete the achievements released by the system from time to time, thereby reducing the check-in time and gaining useless points.
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The cottage has had several owners, but the blacksmith has never changed.
Qin Bai's life was not difficult, and he had unknowingly developed an extremely strong body.
Ning Caichen didn't even dare to take a deep breath, for fear of disturbing Qin Bai's thoughts. The other person's eyes were blank, his face was constantly changing, and the blood stains all over his body clearly showed the temperament of a perverted murderer.
Qin Bai took a deep breath and faced the reality helplessly. He focused his eyes on Ning Caichen and asked.
"Where to go?"
"I am a scholar. Although I am weak, I know the Four Books and Five Classics. I am asking a good man to save my life. In the future..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Qin Bai interrupted his chatter, only feeling a slight swelling and pain in his brain.
"I know, but that demon had a pretty face before, why didn't you kid fall for it?"
"Ah?" Ning Caichen's mouth opened wide. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only say cautiously: "I already have a bad wife at home, and I promised my wife that I will never fall in love with another person in this life."
Qin Bai gave him a strange look. If it was Ning Caichen in the movie, he didn't seem to have a wife.
But he had read the book Liaozhai, in which Ning Caichen had a wife at home, so there were big variables.
No matter what, Ning Caichen would definitely be the cause of future troubles, and he couldn't help but give the other party a headache.
"You kid, remember this sentence and don't end up like a big pig's hooves in the future."
"Ah? Why does a strong man say this? What is a pig's hooves?"
"You don't understand, so let's do this. My full name is Qin Bai, just call me big brother." Qin Bai forced out a smile, but it looked particularly terrifying against the blood on his face.
"Brother Qin, I have to rush for the exam, so I won't delay you..."
Before Ning Caichen finished speaking, he was patted heavily on the shoulder.
"Let me pack up my gear and we'll hit the road together."
"Brother Qin, where are you going?" Ning Caichen was filled with reluctance, but was forced by force to not even think about resisting.
"I'm rushing to take the exam. Actually, you don't know something. You and I are also talented scholars, so we just happened to go there together."
Qin Bai is about two meters tall, and with muscles all over his body, he has nothing to do with being a scholar.
