Looking at the livid and exasperated Huangfu You, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Initially, she looked like a cute little girl whose looks would soften one's heart at a glance. However, her overbearing attitude had ruined her cute appearance.
The onlookers didn't expect a frail-looking girl like Xia Muqing to have such skills.
Although the guards had underestimated the enemy, she wasn't weak either.
Everyone understood why she had dared to enter the Sunset Mountains alone.
The captain of the guards approached Huangfu You to apologize.
"Miss, we've underestimated the enemy."
Slap!
Huangfu You hit the guard captain's face with her whip again.
A bloody mark instantly appeared on the guard captain's face, but he didn't dare to wipe his face.
He stood rigid and unmoving.
"Trash."
Huangfu You cursed and marched towards the mountain range.
The captain of the guards quickly followed, and the rest of the guards also leaped to their feet quickly.
Everyone was fully focused.
If the precious young mistress was injured, they would lose their heads.
Realizing how hot-tempered Huangfu You was, the onlookers quickly retreated, afraid that they would become the unlucky victims.
This time, Huangfu You was even more incensed.
Was she a virus?
They were all avoiding her.
Huangfu You stopped in her tracks and glared at the person next to her.
She stormed and entered the mountain range angrily.
The guards behind her also stopped and walked, completely matching Huangfu You's footsteps.
Xia Muqing rested for a while before walking deeper into the depths.
The mountains were dangerous as all kinds of wild beasts roamed around.
According to legend, a mythical beast existed in the mountain range. It would devour any human and animal that entered its territory.
All these years, no one who had ventured to explore had survived.
There were no exceptions.
As long as one was highly skilled, the beasts that roamed the mountains' weren't the main problem.
However, the swamps and miasma everywhere were the most lethal killers which took the most lives.
She carefully avoided a swamp.
Xia Muqing, who had accumulated years of experience, could easily deal with swamps.
After all, the surroundings of the cemetery, including the tomb, were more dangerous than this place.
A wild boar suddenly appeared in front of her.
Although it was slightly bigger than a normal wild boar, Xia Muqing's eyes lit up.
The hunger in her eyes surpassed the boar's.
If the wild boar could read human thoughts, it would have fled by now.
However, it clearly did not.
The wild boar was charging straight at her.
Xia Muqing swallowed her saliva. At the same time she dodged it, she was analyzing the tastiest part of the wild boar's body.
The boar failed to touch the human who jumped around like a monkey.
The boar growled angrily.
It rushed towards Xia Muqing even more forcefully.
It was obvious that the enraged wild boar was extremely quick. Xia Muqing felt a gust of wind blowing against her face.
Just as the wild boar reached her, Xia Muqing leaped up and clung onto a tree branch.
The boar hit its head against the tree.
Xia Muqing had planned this just now.
Her body was too weak now.
If she fought the boar physically, it would be easy for both sides to suffer losses.
The boar collapsed to the ground.
Xia Muqing didn't give it any time to react. She jumped down, took out a dagger and stabbed the wild boar in the heart.
With another stab, Xia Muqing looked at the dead wild boar and smiled in satisfaction.
She patted the boar's head.
The boar must have known that she was hungry, and that was why it appeared.
Xia Muqing spotted a water source a distance away, before she glanced at the size of the wild boar.
Not to mention the distance, even moving a little would be a tedious task for her.
With a dagger, she skillfully dissected the wild boar.
She carried a piece of meat that weighed about five pounds towards the river.
She washed the meat thoroughly by the river.
She cut the meat into smaller chunks and then arranged them on the leaves she had found.
After Xia Muqing was done, she stowed away the dagger.
She collected some stuff to set up a simple grill.
She clapped her hands at her success.
Xia Muqing took out other items from her bag.
There were salt, pepper, chili noodles, a small bowl and even a pot.
That was too much.
If anyone saw this sight, they would think that this wasn't the Sunset Mountains but a camping ground for young masters and mistresses.
