My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

It would save him a lot of trouble, so Qin Huai followed the anxious young girl and ran all the way.

The village was in a shallow ravine not far away, and half of the village was buried in white snow. If it wasn't for the young lady pulling Qin Huai into the village, he might not even have discovered this place.

The fire of lamps could be seen in the connected wooden houses, but there was no sound in the entire village.

Qin Huai followed behind the young girl and kept looking around.

"Those demons are very smart. They might be hiding under our feet." The young girl's voice was trembling.

Hu!

The snowy ground suddenly exploded, and a black shadow pounced toward Qin Huai from the side!

Its sharp claws and fangs became even colder in the cold wind, and the cold light that bloomed made the young girl so scared that she directly sat down in the snow pile.

Qin Huai raised his hand and let go.

His left arm remained still in the air, and his four fingers were closed together. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the skinny rat demon that was less than a meter long.

Stab!

Hot blood splattered on the ground, instantly melting the snow.

On Qin Huai's straight left arm, the rat demon's neck had been pierced through. It struggled twice with its head, trying to bite Qin Huai's arm.

But it was to no avail.

Hiss...

Qin Huai pulled out his arm from the sticky, bloody corpse.

"Ding! You have collected a [Skill Essence (Green)], and you can allocate experience points: 10,000!"

"Ding! Your vitality has increased by 0.005!"

A first refinement rat demon was not worth mentioning at all.

Qin Huai looked around. He raised the tip of his foot and stomped down like a blade!

Ka!

A pool of blood exploded under the snow, and the snow within a half-meter radius collapsed and melted into the blood.

Hiss~

A rat demon behind him suddenly opened its sharp fangs and bit Qin Huai's calf.

Clang!

The result was a crisp sound of metal.

The rat demon's face was completely distorted. It opened its mouth and bit at Qin Huai's butt. However, a large hand descended from the sky, and a sharp blade directly pierced through its throat.

Before he died, his sharp fangs bit the arm guard again...

Just like that, three first refinement rat demons died within two breaths of the attack.

The two of them stood still for a while, but there was still no sound. As the blood melted the snow around them, the trembling girl looked at Qin Huai with fear in her eyes.

Squeak~

The doors of the wooden houses were pushed open, revealing terrified and grateful faces.

"Thank you for your help, great hero!"

"Thank you for saving my life!"

An old man wrapped in a coat ran out from inside and knelt in front of Qin Huai in a pool of blood.

Bang bang bang...

Five to six solid kowtows caused the old man's head to swell up. At the same time, there were several young men and women behind him, and they all kowtowed to Qin Huai.

"Benefactor, please come in and have a cup of tea." The village chief invited Qin Huai into the house, with the young girl following behind him. "Doll, quickly go and make tea for our benefactor..."

The young girl nodded and quickly went to make tea.

Qin Huai sat in the wooden house that was less than twenty square meters. He rubbed his hands and sized up the house.

Other than two beds of bedding, there was also a table, chair, and bench.

Behind the cubicle was an incomplete kitchen. It was a mess inside, and he could only see a large vat in the corner. It gave off a faint, rich smell of pickled radishes and cabbages.

A few minutes later, the young girl brought over some tea.

Qin Huai took two sips. His brows furrowed for a moment before relaxing, then he then went straight to the point. "Old uncle, does your house have a map of the vicinity?"

He had entered the house for this reason. They were already out of Pingnan's territory, so he was unfamiliar with the place and needed a map to find his location.

"My benefactor, it's not easy to leave during this heavy snow. Why don't you stay at home for now?" The village chief crossed his arms, his eyes showing some hesitation.

Then, he smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed into a line. "How about this? Marry the girl in my family as a concubine, and you can stay in the village for the winter and help us fend off the demons...

"Girl, you are sixteen this year. You're all grown up now, and you're famous for your good looks in the surrounding villages."

"There's no need. I still have things to do."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the village head's face. "Then you should drink more of our village's tea to warm your body. You'll feel refreshed when you're on your way..."

Qin Huai nodded and gulped down the tea in his bowl.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically. "You guys... You poisoned the tea?"

Qin Huai's face was filled with shock and anger, and then his body swayed.

There was a thump. He fell onto the wooden table.

"Hey. Hey..."

The village chief pushed Qin Huai's face. After seeing that Qin Huai didn't react, only then did he kneel on the ground.

"Mo. Lord mo, this martial artist has already fainted from your poison!"

The room seemed to be silent for two breaths. The next second…

A snake-headed monster that was similar in size to Qin Huai, but was covered in thick hair and had a neck as long as two human heads, slowly walked out of the kitchen.

Its eyes weren't as red as those of the demons that Qin Huai had encountered earlier. The light of wisdom could be seen in his eyes.

Its four limbs were also more human-like than those of the Ox demons. Compared to the other demons, it was a variant that looked more like a human and was far more intelligent.

Both of them were a type of demon, but there seemed to be some mistakes in the direction of their bloodline evolution.

The snake demon looked at the motionless Qin Huai and nodded in satisfaction. He was even making hissing sounds, as if he was lamenting about his brilliant methods.

He had taken a village of people as hostages and had them trick the martial artists into coming in to poison him. After that, he would eat him.
