The two golden needles accurately hit the bottom of the earth-burrowing rats’ necks. The skin there was very soft. A small golden needle could pierce through it.
The rats immediately cried out in pain. They rolled on the ground as if their bodies were cramping.
Xue Fanxin was stunned. She had not expected a small golden needle to make the two Rank Three demonic beasts suffer so much.
What was the saying? I’ll take your life while you’re sick.
Xue Fanxin did not hesitate. After confirming their weakness, she took out a dagger and stabbed it at the bottom of an earth-burrowing rat’s neck.
The entire dagger sank inside the flesh. The earth-burrowing rat screamed and died.
Sensing the danger, the other earth-burrowing rat turned to escape. Xue Fanxin quickly took out her dagger and chased after it, using the same method to kill it.
She then sat on the ground, panting from exhaustion. She felt like all her energy had been sucked out.
Little Lei said leisurely, “It’s just killing two rats. Look at how tired you are. So weak. If I were to take action and blow up their heads with a punch, would I need to find any weaknesses?”
The reason Xue Fanxin could not hurt the earth-burrowing rats was that their defense was too strong for her. With her little cultivation, she could not break through their skin, so she could only win with finesse. If it were a cultivator stronger than the rats, they would have directly punched them to death.
“Xin’er, let me see if you’re injured.” Xue Batian did not care so much. He ran over to look at his precious granddaughter. Confirming that she had only suffered some superficial wounds, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Grandpa, I’m fine. Don’t be too worried. I felt so good after fighting.” Xue Fanxin recovered a little strength and ran toward Ye Jiushang. She said with a fawning expression asking for compliments, “Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, I really killed those two Rank Three demonic beasts.”
Ye Jiushang handed her a cup of tea. “You’re still short of three Rank Three demonic beasts today.”
Xue Fanxin was drinking tea, which she almost spat out. “Cough, cough… I have to kill three more?”
“Yes. As long as you kill fifteen, you can most likely break through.”
“But where can I find a Rank Three demonic beast to kill?”
Killing three more was no problem. She already had some experience and skills, but the key was where there were demonic beasts for her to kill.
“There happen to be three earth-burrowing rats five kilometers east of here. I’ll give you thirty minutes to rest.” Ye Jiushang poured Xue Fanxin another cup of tea and gave her a gentle order.
Although she was a little depressed, she knew that this was the only way to become stronger. She had to grit her teeth and do it.
She could kill two earth-burrowing rats. With her experience, killing three was not a problem.
“The few of you, do something to the meat of these two rats. I want to taste the meat of a Rank Three demonic beast later.” Xue Fanxin drank two cups of tea in a row while watching Little Lei and Gu Jinyuan roast the meat. Although their skills were subpar, her stomach would definitely growl from hunger after two battles.
“Five kilometers east, right? I’ll go and do something big.”
