Although She’s Only a Level 1 Noob, She’s Still Incredibly Powerful - Chapter 8 Part 3

　Unlike the live broadcast room’s buzz, the trio in the copy have reached a stalemate.

　Not only has the confrontation with the water ghosts entered the heat of the moment, but behind the dirt slope on the other side of the river, the sound of dragging and skidding resounded again, and the “people” who had left just now were back again.

　The water ghost did not leave them time to think, hair jumped out of the water, towards Bai Qiuye’s ankle.

　Bai Qiuye held the flyer in front of her before the peace talisman burned out.

　The hair shrank back in a flash like a viper that had been dipped in fire.

　The hands that grabbed Mo Jie and Liu He also sank into the water violently like an electric shock.

　As soon as the two were free, they rushed to hold the bones away from the water’s edge.

　”Whew! Whew!” Mo Jie panted heavily, his face that had swollen into a greenish-purple colour gradually returning to normal, “Luckily you came over.”

　He was incredibly glad that he had made the decision to give Bai Qiuye the flyer in the first place.

　”The corpse oil lamp is blocking the water spirits, just don’t go near the water’s edge.” He looked across the river, “But those on the other side-”

　He looked at the heads that had already poked their heads out of the dirt slope, and had a hard time getting the word “Humans” out of his mouth.

　”Those brats, they’ve spotted us. Move!”

　They retraced their steps from the stream to the graveyard, and Chen Chen had unexpectedly disappeared.

　At this time, the peace talisman on Bai Qiuye was almost about to burn out, so they didn’t dare to stay longer and quickly ran towards the village.

　Originally, the three of them were still running side by side, and after a while, Bai Qiuye had already surpassed the two, leaving them far behind.

　The two riveted all their strength but failed to catch up with her, even spacing further and further apart.

　Mo Jie shouted, “Bai Qiuye you don’t want to break away from the group!”

Once free, they quickly hugged the bones and moved away from the water.

　”Whew! Whew!” Mo Jie panted heavily as his face, which had swollen to a greenish purple colour, slowly returned to normal, “Thank goodness you came over.”

　He was incredibly happy that he had made the decision to give Bai Qiuye the flyer in the first place.

　”The corpse oil lamp is blocking the water spirits, just don’t go near the water’s edge.” He looked across the river, “But those on the other side…”

He looked at the heads that had already poked their heads out of the dirt slope and struggled to get the word ‘humans’ out of it’s mouth.

　”Those brats, they’ve seen us. Move!”

　They retraced their steps from the stream to the cemetery, and Chen Chen had unexpectedly disappeared.

　At this point, the peace talisman on Bai Qiuye was about to burn out, so they didn’t dare to stay any longer and ran quickly towards the village.

　Initially, the three of them ran side by side, but after a while, Bai Qiuye had already overtaken the two, leaving them far behind.

　The two of them gave it all they had, but they were unable to catch up with her, and in fact, the distance between them grew wider and wider.

　Mo Jie shouted, “Bai Qiuye, don’t leave the team!”

　Bai Qiuye’s figure had already disappeared between the tombs like a whirlwind.

　Mo Jie’s pupils trembled, “How did she run so fast?”

　Every time he levelled up, his physical strength followed suit, he was at level 44 and still couldn’t run away from a level 1 rookie.

　Liu He shook his head as he ran, his face full of confusion.

　[This level 1 could be a national athlete ……]

　[Wait, is there a ghost following her?]

　The viewers in the live broadcast room noticed that of the ghosts chasing after Mo Jie and the others, there were actually two that bypassed them and went straight towards Bai Qiuye.

　[Open the camera! Open the camera!]

　[What else is there to see, two ghosts against one human, hopeless]

　Those who participated in the auction and bought full group destruction were immediately disappointed. With Bai Qiuye diverting the firepower focused on Mo Jie and Liu He, even though it looked like she’d be sacrificed, Mo Jie and Liu He’s hopes of escaping increased.

　After running for a while, Bai Qiuye realised that she hadn’t run out of the graveyard yet, and was suspicious, so she looked back.

　This look scared her to death.

She had unexpectedly run away from Mo Jie and Liu He, and two ghosts were following her.

“As soon as Mo Jie and the others appeared, these ghosts appeared. Ghosts that can’t even defeat them must not be of a low level.” Bai Qiuye mentally calculated the average level of Mo Jie and the others and her face turned white, ”Level 31.4! I can’t even reach a fraction of that, Lord God, the copies are all bugs!”

　At this thought, she sped up again, almost rolling and crawling into the forest.

　She knew that she had run into a ghost again and had been unable to leave the graveyard. The ghostly creatures behind her grew more and more frenzied, their laughter getting closer and closer.

　As Bai Qiuye scurried through the forest, she accidentally tripped over a wooden stake and fell to the ground.

　She hadn’t looked this bad in a long time, even her hair was covered in leaves, her skirt was caked in mud, her calves were scraped by thorns, and her legs were covered in blood.

　The two ghostly creatures stopped in front of her, their pale hands hanging down, their clouded eyes staring at her.

　”Found it.”

　One of them walked slowly, its feet not touching the ground, but its body stretched forward, its head jutting out in front of Bai Qiuye.

　Its face seemed to be wearing a papier-mâché mask, its eyes, nose and lips all painted with paint. But it looked as if it had fused with the body again.

　Suddenly, it stopped and its gaze fell on Bai Qiuye’s bleeding calf.

　It jerked back as if it had been scalded, “Run!”

　The other ghost also drastically changed its stance and fled in the opposite direction.

　Bai Qiuye’s hand that was touching the firewood knife flinched and froze for a second.

　Why did these two ghosts suddenly run away as if they had seen a ghost?

　Stunned, she rolled off the ground and stood up, looking at their backs as they moved further away from her.　

Unconsciously, she raised her hand and the firewood knife in her hand was thrown out, forming a straight line of black lightning in the air.

　The curved and sharp tip of the knife sank into the back of one of the ghosts.

　Rips immediately appeared on its back, like a huge gaping hole opened by a strong wind.

　Seeing this, the other one immediately ran even faster on its feet, not even caring about its image.

　Bai Qiuye hurriedly chased after it for a few steps, following the same pattern as the firewood knife struck.

　The ghost looked like someone who had been shot in the back, stopped, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground.

　Bai Qiuye looked at it in horror, and after a moment, she hurriedly lowered her head to fetch two more firewood knives.

　She didn’t go over there first, but instead pulled out a large handful of peace talismans from her bag and stuck them tightly on her body.

　09 asked in her mind.

　[What are you doing?]

　Bai Qiuiye replied, “I’m going over to mend the knife.

　09 was very puzzled.

　[Why are you wasting so many defences?]

　The two ghosts fell to the ground one after the other, looking as dead as a doornail.

　Bai Qiuye: “A lion fighting a rabbit also uses its full strength, going all out is the greatest respect for the enemy.”

　[……]

　Bai Qiuye moved cautiously against the tree trunk, the yellow talisman on her body not burning.

　09 Mocked.

　[See, they’re already gone, pure waste]

　”The peace talisman is only for ghosts and monsters with killing intent, maybe they know how to contain their killing intent.” Bai Qiuye added, “High-level ghosts and monsters are like that.”

　[…Seems a bit reasonable]

　Swallowing hard, Bai Qiuye raised the firewood knife in his hand and tentatively slashed at one of them.

　The ghost instantly let out a piercing scream, scaring Bai Qiuye so much that she could barely grip the handle of the knife.

　”Sure enough, it’s playing dead!”

　Her anger rose from her heart, and her evil was so strong that she completely forgot that she had just been scared to death and lifted the firewood knife to slash again.

　The other ghost beside him was like a cricket, and while Bai Qiuye was concentrating on his companion, he moved forward a little.

　A knife was thrust in front of it and it struggled to open its eyes.

　Only to see Bai Qiuye change her previous soft and weak appearance and say with a fierce face, “Don’t even try to run!”

　*

　Most of the earth graves here were disorderly, with grave bags everywhere and tombstones standing in a messy manner, like a mass grave at the foot of a mountain.

As Mo Jie and Liu He walked between the graves, carrion-eating ravens stood on the gravestones and looked at them indifferently.

　After entering 30% paperization, their bodies became dull.

　In addition, their hands and feet actually sucked up a lot of stream water, which became as heavy as corrugated paper submerged in water.

　”She seems to have shaken it off.” Mo Jie looked back and could not see the figures of the two ghosts that had been chasing them.

　His strength was in resolving curses, otherwise he didn’t have the strength to be ranked. In the case of papering, his stamina was already drained. If Bai Qiuye hadn’t shaken off those two ghosts, he would have been in a bad situation.

　Liu He sniffed and also looked back. His head had just turned sixty degrees when he suddenly stopped.

　”Be careful…”

　As soon as he spoke, his body was sent flying by an invisible force. Drawing a parabola in the air, he fell hard to the ground and flipped several times, only stopping when he hit a tombstone.

　Mo Jie’s pupils contracted, “Liu He?”

　He found that behind the tombstone that Liu He had hit, there were actually two people standing next to each other, grinning at him.

　The lips of the two identical paper faces were curled up high, almost to the base of their ears.

　It was the ghost from across the river!

　In the time it took him to blink, one of them came to him as if jumping out of thin air.

　In a flash of lightning, Mo Jie took out a defence similar to the peace talisman.

　Bai Qiuye’s previous peace talisman had been able to resist for a while, but his talisman had turned to ash before it had even left his pocket.

　Mo Jie was horrified and took out another piece of inventory. This time it was a piece of jade with a Buddha image carved on it.

　As he held it up in front of him, the jade clicked and shattered in two.

　Mo Jie’s mind was foggy, and one by one, he lit up all six resistance props in his collection. However, not only did he fail to scare off the ghost, but the other party also got closer to him.

　Mo Jie’s heart pounded and he took out a shiny golden object the length of his index finger from his pocket.

　It was a baby carved from gold nuggets, with its hands covering its mouth and its eyes slightly closed, even with its chubby face, it looked very evil.

　[Abandoned Golden Boy: Made of gold and graveyard soil, soaked in corpse oil for forty-nine days, it contains the souls of three babies who died young. If you worship it carefully, it can be used by the owner to attract wealth and safety, and help others to prosper. For some unknown reason, he was abandoned by his previous owner, his temperament changed drastically, and he was found at the scene of a murder. The Golden Boy cannot see the light. After seeing the light, the baby’s soul will leave the prison and not distinguish between itself and the enemy.]

The moment he took out the Golden Boy, the people in the live broadcast room were shocked, and the barrage flashed by at high speed.

　[Holy shit, that is a resistance prop.]

　[Is this what he got from his copy of the last time he was a cop? ]

　[I’ve seen that copy, I’ll answer! That copy is level 40! This Golden Boy is the boss’ vessel! It originally had a evil ghost in it, but after they cleared the level, the evil ghost was destroyed.]

　[Holy shit, this copy is the one Guan Yangze entered before?]

　[Guan Yangze who is ranked 168th? It turns out that he was the first ranked person Mo Jie knew. ]

　In the live broadcast room, some people started explaining on the barrage screen how dangerous the copy was, and how Guan Yangze had resurrected the team with his own power.

　[I didn’t expect that a resistance prop would be in Mo Jie’s hands.]

　[This is a boss, he should be stable with this.]

　[Is it worth killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred?]

　[If he dares to use it, it means he knows how to handle it.]

　The moment Mo Jie took out the Golden Boy, he felt the cold air surging through his entire body from the palm of his hand.

　The copy that he had entered at the beginning contained many curses. He was of great use, so after the boss was eliminated, Guan Yangze decided to give him the Golden Boy.

　When the Golden Boy saw the light, it didn’t just go on a killing spree. There was a ten-second period where it wouldn’t attack the holder, but the holder will be cursed every two seconds.

　That’s why the Golden Boy was only given to him, and only he could use it.

　Once the ten seconds were up, he had to take the Golden Boy back. Otherwise, he would face backlash as well as the Grudge Curse piercing his heart, and that would be the end of everything.

　That was why he had come to this level 30 copy this time, in order to look for a resistance prop that would be less costly to use.

　A child’s giggling sound pierced through the sky above the graveyard, and a child’s head unexpectedly appeared out of thin air in front of Mo Jie, followed by two more heads drilling out.

　His skin was greenish-coloured, grinning, their bodies sprawled on the ground.

　The golden boy looked back at Mo Jie with eyes as deep as black holes and turned his head towards that ghost to crawl.

　The ghost seemed to feel threatened and took a few steps back.

　’I didn’t expect to use this thing ……” Mo Jie’s face went white, and in his heart, he sighed in relief, secretly lifting the grudge curse for himself.

　Suddenly, he saw another ghost walk over, and the two ghosts’ bodies fused with each other, surprisingly overlapping.

　It suddenly raised one leg and expressionlessly stepped on the golden boy on the ground.

　Only the sound of a balloon being stomped on rang out, and one of the golden boy’s head turned into a meat cake.

　The smiles on the other two faces instantly tightened, and they instantly howled, crawling back towards Mo Jie on their hands and knees.

　Mo Jie’s heart instantly trembled..

　The Golden Boy was a genuine copy boss.

　Surprisingly, it didn’t last ten seconds?!!!!

　What exactly are these two ghosts in front of him!

　He had already revealed his trump card, but the result turned out to be disastrous.

　Those two ghosts separated once again, approaching him on the left and right.

　[F**k, this is how it will be.]

　[Hey, I just thought I could earn a large sum of survival coupons.]

　[Retreat, it must have been cold over Bai Qiuye’s side, the group is destined to be destroyed.]

　[I still want to enter a copy with Brother Jie.]

　[Brother Jie…]

　The vast majority of the audience voted for survival when they made their guesses, so this situation couldn’t help but make them miserable.

　The atmosphere in the live broadcast room dropped to the freezing point, and the barrage were like a final elegy.

　Mo Jie was lying on the ground, the curse brought on by the Golden Boy, as well as his own papering, rendered him incapacitated in a short period of time.

　He didn’t expect that he would die in a level 30 copy.

　As he watched the two ghosts approaching, what he felt was actually not fear, but remorse.

　His nostrils smelled a fishy wind as the two ghostly faces closed in.

　A tear slid down from the corner of Mo Jie’s eye as he lamented in his heart.

　”Sister, I’m sorry, big brother has to go first.”

　He was about to close his eyes when suddenly a swift black aura swept past his eyes, blowing his hair up.

The wind of the knife carried murderous intent and cut his skin raw.

　Bang!

　One of the heads that came close to him was like a pumpkin whose vines had been cut, falling to the ground at once, tumbling a few times, and finally coming to rest in front of a pair of black patent leather boots.

　The pair of shoes were exquisitely clean as if they had just been polished, and together the toes pointed slightly outwards, elegant and quiet.

　The other ghost and Mo Jie both froze and slowly turned their heads.

　The wind brought up by the knife had not yet ceased, and the raven flew in alarm, skimming overhead into the deep twilight. A few dark feathers representing death slowly fell down, stroking through Bai Qiuye’s hair and resting on her shoulders.

　Because of the grudge curse, Bai Qiuye’s slender fingers were astonishingly white in the darkness, yet also astonishingly steady.

　She flexed her arm, letting her empty palm grip the other hilt once more.

　Catkins and cast iron, white and black.

　Unrelated things yet unusually harmonious, the same as fingertips lightly touching strings.

　She mastered the rhythm.

　The rhythm of a killing blow.

　The ghost that still survived didn’t even adjust its direction and fell back ten metres alive.

　The light of the cold blade filled Bai Qiuye’s clear eyes, and they didn’t have the slightest bit of fear or joy.

　Only at the moment the cold light moved away, the calmness of knowing the end already fell from her eyes.

　At the moment the ghost fled, Bai Qiuye’s firewood knife was released, hitting its head very accurately.

　It stopped in its tracks and with a thud, fell face down onto the ground, splattering a cloud of black mud.

　The ravens rose in alarm once more, their cries of doom echoing over the graveyard.

　Mo Jie’s eyes fell on the firewood knife, and he suddenly caught his breath.

　What a refreshingly unassuming firewood knife!

　This was the resistance prop he had dreamed of, a prop that was stronger than the Golden Boy!
