The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 935 - 911: Exposed

The snow was too heavy. Although the village roads had been cleared, walking on them still felt like the snow was reaching up to the calves.

Even though the current wind wasn’t as strong as the 15-level wind from a while ago, the post-snow wind was bone-chilling.

The dim light was only in the house at the edge of the village, while the rest of the houses were engulfed in darkness.

Suddenly, the barking of dogs erupted.

The entire village seemed to boil over.

In that instant, lights lit up all the darkened houses.

Wu Yang was so frightened he nearly fell.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Wu Yang and solemnly advised them, "Don’t be afraid, keep moving, don’t look back. With snow this heavy, they won’t catch up to us."

What Jiang Xiaoxiao considered was that she could bring up the rear without issue, and if it came to it, she’d fight violence with violence.

She was a doctor, yet now she was thinking about fighting violence with violence!

Ha ha.

The environment truly does affect people.

Someone like her who loved peace, only ever thought of doing good, and was dedicated to saving lives, was now contemplating how big of a deal killing someone really was!

The end of the world, indeed!

The side effects of killing too many monsters.

Jiang Xiaoxiao truly felt an evil thought surging within her chest, thinking that giving these people a good beating with violent means seemed like a great idea.

However, she truly did not do that.

They quickly ran towards the mountain.

From behind came the chaotic sound of gongs and drums.

"Someone has escaped, someone has escaped!"

"Chase, don’t worry about them running away, they can’t get far in such heavy snow!"

The barking of dogs continued relentlessly.

The five of them were a bit panicked because the barking indicated that the people had let the dogs loose.

No matter how fast they moved, if they were pursued by humans, they might distance themselves, but matching speed with dogs was pure fantasy.

Moreover, several of the girls were afraid of dogs, who wasn’t afraid of dogs, even Wu Yang feared them.

Sure enough, when they turned onto the narrow mountain path, they could barely move, nearly resorting to stepping in place.

The path was hard to walk on, the snow was too deep, at least the village roads had been cleared by someone; the paths entering the forest were completely untouched.

With one step, the snow almost reached their waists, every step felt like floundering at sea, at this pace they wouldn’t make it far.

But the dogs were already upon them.

A dozen or so mighty black dogs encircled them menacingly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Xiao and the other two girls, frail, pitiful, shivering, Wu Yang couldn’t even pull his legs free.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had anticipated everything except for this post-snow scenario.

This truly was destiny.

Supporting Wu Yang and the three girls, they stood five abreast.

Village Chief Gu was supported out, surrounded by a group of people, appearing threatening and aggressive.

"Hao Ruxue, what are you doing? Our village has kindly hosted you, without our protection in this harsh blizzard, you would freeze to death out there, with nothing to eat or drink, besides, there are countless ferocious beasts in these mountains.

To tell you the truth, this is the Kunlun Mountain Range. From here, no one can get out. Even if you are a genius, you can’t escape this place. We are all victims of the Medicine God Association, why not support each other and live well here?"

"Village Chief Gu, no matter how eloquently you speak, people have their own pursuits and cannot be forced. Even if it means freezing or starving to death, we are willing to live here by our own abilities. If you can survive in this Kunlun Mountain Range, so can we. But you got one thing right.

Since no one can leave, why not coexist peacefully with a common goal? You locked up my friends in your basement, I doubt that was with good intentions, right? I don’t want to be kept here as a sacrificial offering!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao tore off the mask of warmth, there was no need to feign civility.

Seeing this flagrant display, it was clear they hadn’t planned to keep things hidden.

Even if they followed Village Chief Gu back to the village, could they live safely like before?

Village Chief Gu sighed, maintaining a consistently gentle and magnanimous demeanor.

"Child, you misunderstand me! Whether or not there’s a sacrifice doesn’t concern you. You have unique talents with elixirs, you are perfectly capable of surviving here on your own.

I hold grudges against the Wu family, against their lineage, against the Medicine God Association. Our Gu family was abandoned, exiled to the Kunlun Mountain Range, never to leave in this lifetime. Everyone in this village around me is actually my descendant.

Aside from the Gu family, there are also other families exiled to the Kunlun Mountain Range. We have no choice but to unite into one, supporting each other to survive here. Otherwise, how we die in these mountains, no one would ever know.

You haven’t seen the horrors outside, of course, you don’t understand our hatred for outsiders. The beasts in these mountains are far stronger than humans. If we don’t offer sacrifices each year, those beasts would wipe out our village.

We have no choice, everyone is just trying to survive. Your lives are lives, and so are ours. Tell me, shouldn’t we do this to survive?"

Village Chief Gu’s words left Jiang Xiaoxiao speechless, survival, what a conundrum!

It’s an insoluble mystery.

Anyone seeking their own survival could commit such self-centered actions, it’s understandable.

But it’s not Jiang Xiaoxiao’s choice, she’d rather die with her companions in the deep mountains than be raised like a sacrificial offering to some beast.

Besides, from ancient times to now, there’s never been proof of beasts truly reaching such a balance with humans.

Relying on human sacrifices to spare the rest?

That’s mere legend, Jiang Xiaoxiao had yet to see a truly intelligent beast.

Jiang Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow, something wasn’t right!

She had seen it!

In the apocalyptic world, the Black Horned Dragon King and Black Horned Dragon were indeed intelligent beasts?

Could these Kunlun Mountains be connected to her former Otherworld?

"Grandma, stop wasting words on them! Just capture them already, this woman is utterly audacious! I say send her to meet the Medicine God first, before she corrupts the others."

A fierce man shouted, from his tone, he was Village Chief Gu’s grandson.

Others chimed in agreement. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If these people weren’t here, those offered to the Divine Beast this year would be their descendants.

Every year their entire tribe must select someone to be offered to the Medicine God as a sacrificial offering, guaranteeing peaceful lives for a year here.

Their numbers are dwindling since birth rates are too low, but now with outside arrivals, naturally, they don’t want to expend their own descendants.

Each one of them bristled, eager to capture them.
