Chapter 1, Encounter

This Qiongqi weighs at least a thousand kilograms, and its running power exceeds a thousand kilograms. Yet He Hao effortlessly supports it with one hand! At this moment, the girl's cherry lips are open wide enough to fit at least two eggs. He Hao's impression on her was merely that of a common, down-and-out vagrant found on the streets, and a cowardly one at that, lacking any semblance of masculine courage. But now, this vagrant is actually able to wrestle with a monster that has existed since ancient times!

"What method?" He Hao asked immediately, filled with great joy

He Hao curled up like a cat in the greenery by the roadside, avoiding the scorching sun that could roast a person while greedily watching the passersby, especially the young women dressed lightly due to the heat. His gaze transformed into that of a beast spotting its prey. From noon until evening, He Hao spent his time admiring beautiful women, having not eaten anything. With only 1.3 yuan left on him, he had no money for food, and he merely drank a little tap water he had brought from his rented room

"I don't want your interest." Today, Yu Ma probably lost at mahjong and is in a very foul mood. "The rule here for renting is to pay three months' rent in advance and one month as a deposit. Out of kindness, I allowed you to pay monthly, but you, on the other hand, have owed me several months' rent without even a word. If you don't pay the rent today, I will throw all your shabby belongings out!"

He Hao gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and dashed downstairs. Joking aside, no matter how beautiful the girl was, her life was more precious. The act of a hero saving a beauty should depend on the circumstances; harming a beautiful woman was not the act of an ordinary villain, but rather that of a terrifying monster! "Don't go! Are you even a man?" Amidst the girl's piercing screams, the monster let out another roar, its four legs as thick as water barrels stomped violently on the ground, causing the reinforced concrete floor of the second floor to shatter, and the monster fell to the first floor.

"Mom Yu, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom." He Hao clutched his stomach and ran downstairs, not daring to listen to the scolding from behind him. After running down the stairs, He Hao took a few deep breaths and patted his chest in relief. His parents had not sent him any living expenses for two months, trying to force him to return home to farm after he had been wandering in the city. He Hao usually had to rely on borrowing from his male classmates from university to get by, and he had already borrowed two thousand three hundred yuan, with no money left to pay the rent.

"You go out now and lure the Qiongqi to chase you," the young girl murmured, "I will take the opportunity to escape from here"

There was no sound of a body being crushed, nor the sound of bones shattering; even the footsteps of the Qiongqi had vanished. The young girl was astonished for a moment and secretly opened her eyes, only to witness a scene that rendered her unable to close them again. He Hao, who had been unconscious, had awakened and was supporting the front hoof of the Qiongqi with his right hand

He Hao was puzzled when a luxurious Audi sedan stopped in front of the supermarket. The car door opened, and two men and one woman got out, holding umbrellas as they walked up the steps. The two men, with waists as round as basketballs, were dressed in designer suits worth tens of thousands, indicating their wealth and status. The woman, appearing to be quite young based on her figure, was wearing a high school uniform from a local school, seemingly just a high school student. In her hand, she held a long, slender object about one meter in length, wrapped in yellow cloth, making it impossible to discern what it was.

When the young girl placed her umbrella in front of the supermarket, He Hao was momentarily stunned; the girl was simply too beautiful. Her long, jet-black hair, cascading down her chest, was adorned with a charming bow. Her large, watery eyes resembled two black gemstones, and her snow-white face, tinged with a rosy hue, appeared soft and delicate. Her petite nose was slightly raised, and her rosy lips were slightly pursed, giving her a playful and adorable look. Throughout his life, apart from having seen a beautiful older sister in his dreams, He Hao had never encountered a girl as stunning as this one. Even the school beauty, An Jiejie, whom he had secretly admired for four years, could not compare to this girl, not even to one-tenth of her beauty.

The girl smiled wryly as she raised the broken peach wood sword, saying, "My sword is broken, I cannot help you." He Hao remained silent, thrusting his spear towards the eyes of the formidable beast, forcing it back with its remarkable spirit. Seizing the opportunity, He Hao jumped to the girl's side, cradling the spear in his arms. He lightly touched the blood from the cut on his left arm, inflicted by the glass door of the bookstore, and smeared it on the broken peach wood sword. He Hao shouted, "Use the Five Thunder Rites!"

The young girl tightly gripped the peach wood sword, imbued with several times her own spiritual power, anxiously watching He Hao engage in battle with Qiongqi. He Hao kept jumping around on top of Qiongqi, specifically targeting its head to provoke it into looking up. Qiongqi indeed fell for the trick; when it saw He Hao's spear thrusting towards it again, it suddenly raised its head and opened its massive blood-filled mouth, biting down on the spear shaft made of white wax wood. The shaft snapped instantly, but Qiongqi's only weakness was now exposed before the young girl.

"Eating people?" He Hao was so frightened that his heart raced, "As a girl, how could you come to this haunted supermarket in the middle of the night?"

Uncertain of how much time had passed, the pitch-black night sky suddenly brightened, followed by a deafening roar. Torrential raindrops, the size of soybeans, poured down in a dense cascade, drenching He Hao completely. He hurriedly scrambled up from the bench, running to find shelter from the relentless downpour. The rain tonight was particularly heavy; even the well-drained roads could not keep up with the deluge. In no time, the water on the road had already submerged the tops of He Hao's feet. He hurriedly scrambled up from the bench, running to find shelter from the relentless downpour. The rain tonight was particularly heavy; even the well-drained roads could not keep up with the deluge. In no time, the water on the road had already submerged the tops of He Hao's feet

He Hao was relentless, his feet rapidly striking the ground as he leaped behind Qiongqi, thrusting his spear repeatedly, the sound of metal clashing echoing continuously. Qiongqi let out a series of anguished cries, its body losing countless green spikes, dark green blood staining its entire form. Despite being repeatedly pierced by He Hao's spear, Qiongqi's ferocity was only heightened; with an angry roar, it turned its bull head and wildly thrust its horns at He Hao. However, He Hao, usually unaccustomed to physical exertion, moved with remarkable agility at that moment, tumbling and leaping in every direction. Qiongqi's attempts to charge and bite were futile, failing to touch even a single hair on He Hao, who seized the opportunity to strike with dozens more thrusts. Qiongqi's vitality was incredibly resilient; despite sustaining so many spear wounds, it continued to move with great swiftness, showing no signs of hindrance.

The young girl channeled her spiritual power according to the law, and the broken peach wood sword emitted a red light. A two-foot-long fiery red glow appeared at the tip of the sword. The girl exclaimed, "Heavens, I can drive the sword with my qi! When will I be able to do this?"

As the time approached eleven o'clock at night, He Hao walked cautiously up the dormitory building he rented, taking small, stealthy steps like a thief. When passing by the landlord's window, He Hao bent low and moved quietly. Just as he thought he might once again escape unscathed, the steel security door of the landlord's house suddenly swung open with a clang, and the fierce voice of Aunt Yu shouted, "He Hao, what are you doing? Are you trying to steal something?"

"Miss Zhang, please come in." A man in a suit opened the door of the supermarket and made an inviting gesture. The young girl withdrew her gaze from He Hao, pouted her lips in disdain, and held her beautiful head high as she entered the supermarket, followed quickly by the two men.

The young girl leaned in the embrace of He Hao, feeling both grateful for her rescue and astonished by the strange changes occurring in He Hao. When she turned to look at him again, unexpectedly, He Hao was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and the girl was momentarily taken aback. In He Hao's steadfast gaze, there seemed to be something that evoked a sense of familiarity in her. However, upon noticing the girl looking at him, He Hao quickly averted his eyes, his face already showing a hint of redness.

What should I do? He Hao asked, and the girl fell silent. He Hao immediately understood and growled, "What you mean is to exchange my life for yours? As long as you can escape, that's all that matters?"

Although the lights in the supermarket are on, the main entrance is tightly closed. Fortunately, there is a row of benches on the steps in front of the door that have not been soaked by the rain, providing He Hao with a place to take shelter from the rain for the night. After wringing out the water from his clothes, He Hao began to observe his surroundings. Despite the lights being on in the supermarket, there were no security guards on duty at the entrance. Could it be that this supermarket is not afraid of thieves?

It was already 11 o'clock, and the weather remained oppressively hot. He Hao truly lacked the courage to return and face his mother's wrath, so he had no choice but to find a small park nearby, preparing to spend the night on a bench. Fortunately, luck was on his side; the small park, which was usually frequented by homeless individuals, was unexpectedly empty. He Hao quickly found a bench, lay down, and let his thoughts wander. As his stomach grumbled, he unknowingly fell asleep. Thankfully, the strange dreams that often plagued him did not appear this time, and He Hao slept soundly.

"Oh no, let's go quickly." The girl had just hoped that He Hao would sacrifice himself for her, but after He Hao's sneeze revealed their hiding place, she quickly grabbed his arm and ran outside. At that moment, He Hao felt unsteady on his feet, seeing everything in double vision. As they rushed out of the restroom, they collided with an object head-on. The girl let out a scream and pushed He Hao with all her might. He Hao, already unsteady, immediately fell onto a pile of sports equipment that had been knocked over by the creature. He narrowly avoided the sharp edge of the creature's charge, but once he lay down, he no longer moved.

He Hao's nose almost got crooked from the shock; after a while, it turned out that this delicate young girl was a ghost hunter, and a novice ghost hunter at that! The girl nervously grabbed He Hao's arm and asked, "What should we do now? How do we escape?"

The selfish girl, having a moment of conscience, just saved He Hao. Deciding to be a good person to the end, she threw out the last two talismans, striking the beast Qiongqi and causing two bursts of golden, radiant light. Although it could not harm Qiongqi, it did force the creature back two steps. The girl screamed, "Useless man, hurry and run!" Yet He Hao remained motionless, lying among the pile of sports equipment, seemingly having lost consciousness.

I refuse! He Hao gritted his teeth and uttered these three words. The beautiful girl’s large eyes immediately turned red, and she choked out, "My life is so hard. On my first ghost-hunting experience, I encountered a Qiongqi, and I also met a useless man, a man as timid as a mouse, a pathetic man.

He Hao tightly gripped the long spear, and with a shake of his hands, he executed several dazzling spear maneuvers. The spear shot out like a venomous snake, directly aiming for the eyes of Qiongqi. Qiongqi, possessing remarkable agility, swiftly turned its head to evade the attack. Seizing the opportunity, He Hao thrust the spear's tip towards Qiongqi's shoulder, then leaped up, landing behind Qiongqi. Without even turning his head, he used his right hand to reverse the grip and thrust the spear, the steel tip of the white ash wood shaft striking directly at Qiongqi's underbelly. Qiongqi let out a piercing roar, leaping forward over ten meters, with dark green blood already spraying from its underbelly.

"Help!" The girl who had once saluted He Haoxing in front of the supermarket screamed as she rushed towards him, holding a broken wooden sword in her hand. The bull-headed monster let out a roar and opened its gaping maw, lunging at the girl like a gust of wind. The girl seemed to possess some martial skills, rolling away clumsily yet swiftly to narrowly avoid the monster's teeth. She shouted at He Hao, "What are you still dawdling for? Come save me."

I am just seeking shelter from the rain," He Hao asked curiously, "What could possibly happen?

Qiongqi let out a deafening roar, crazily leaping up and smashing into the ceiling. The girl was nearly deafened by Qiongqi's shout and hurriedly covered her ears. Unexpectedly, Qiongqi's body was crashing down towards her. Just as she was about to scream in panic, a pair of strong hands reached out, wrapping around her waist and pulling her away. Qiongqi heavily crashed onto the ground where the girl had just been standing, struggling a few times before spewing green blood all over, gradually turning into a pool of dark green, foul-smelling liquid.

The fewer people who know, the better? He Hao was puzzled, wondering what was so mysterious. Due to the 'ruthless' financial constraints imposed by his parents, He Hao had not bought a newspaper for at least over a month, and thus had no idea what the newspapers were saying.

"There is no time to explain." He Hao, without looking back, struck the tail of the spear in his right hand with his left hand. The spear thrust forward, hitting the nose of the approaching Qiongqi, causing it to retreat several steps with a painful cry! "Be careful, the spikes on Qiongqi are highly poisonous!" He Hao cautioned again as he leaped into the air, piercing Qiongqi's head with the spear, making it let out a series of painful cries.

"Oh... I have a solution," the girl said in a low voice, sobbing.

He Hao's landlord, Ms. Yu, is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She has a fairly decent appearance and dresses very appropriately. Perhaps due to menopause, Ms. Yu has a very bad temper and often yells at He Hao: "Alright, even if you found money, you still owe me one month's rent, which totals two thousand yuan including this month. It needs to be paid."

This supermarket is divided into three floors. He Hao, in order to escape, dared not linger on the second floor and directly fled to the third floor. At the same time, he cursed the architect who designed this building with malicious intent. With over 3,000 square meters of commercial space, it was perverse enough to design a staircase for going up and down. Now, it is quite unfortunate that there is no other way to escape the supermarket. Who would have thought that the young girl had also made it to the third floor? Upon seeing He Hao at the stairway, she was instantly filled with rage and slapped him hard, exclaiming, "Useless man, when you see a beautiful woman in danger, you actually don't come to save me, but instead think of escaping yourself!"

The cries for help from the girl in the supermarket grew increasingly urgent. In a moment of inspiration, He Hao lifted a large decorative flower pot from in front of the supermarket and struck it forcefully against the glass door. Bang! Bang! Bang! After three strikes, the glass door finally cracked. He Hao set down the flower pot and charged at the door again. With a clang, the glass door shattered, and He Hao's arm was cut by the glass, blood streaming down.

The beautiful young girl, after being interrupted by He Hao, unexpectedly began to cry softly. He Hao felt a pang of guilt in his heart and quickly took hold of the girl's small hand, secretly praising to himself how soft and smooth it was. He comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, it wasn't intentional. We will definitely find a way to escape, just be patient, and let me think of a solution"

"Demon, die!" The young girl seized the opportunity, taking a few steps forward and presenting the peach wood sword with both hands. The red light of the sword pierced directly into the white fur at the throat of Qiongqi, penetrating completely into its gullet and emerging from the back of its neck.

He Hao seized a moment of opportunity and shouted at the astonished girl, who was left speechless: "The only weakness of Qiongqi is the tuft of white fur seven inches below its throat. I will draw its attention upward, and you must use the Five Thunder Heart Method to drive the peach wood sword to stab it. Only then can we defeat it!" He Hao's voice was no longer as timid as usual; instead, it was resolute and steady, exuding a certain commanding presence. As he spoke, his hands did not pause for a moment, continuously stabbing Qiongqi with several thrusts, causing it to scream in agony.

What shocked the girl even more was yet to come. He Hao suddenly seemed like a different person. Although his ordinary face still appeared plain, his eyes revealed a hint of panic and weakness, which instead gave off a sense of unwavering determination. The corners of He Hao's mouth twitched, as if he were smiling. With a powerful motion of his right hand, he lifted the over one thousand kilograms of the Qiongqi several steps away. He Hao sprang up like a carp leaping from the water, holding a long spear sold in supermarkets for martial arts demonstrations, standing majestically before the girl.

He Hao sprang up like a carp leaping from the water, holding a long spear sold in supermarkets for martial arts demonstrations, standing majestically before the girl.

Seeing He Hao suddenly fall into a coma, the young girl was so anxious that she almost cried out. At that moment, Qiongqi had already freed itself from the interference of the talisman and charged towards He Hao and the young girl. In her desperation, the young girl was unable to move He Hao and could only leap back to avoid Qiongqi's sharp horns. However, she also saw Qiongqi's front hoof, as thick as a water barrel, already hovering above He Hao's body. The young girl let out a scream, quickly closed her eyes, and dared not look at the horrifying scene of He Hao being trampled, his abdomen ruptured and intestines spilling out.

He Hao did not have time to explain to the girl that he had risked being taken to the police station by smashing the glass to save her. He grabbed her soft and slippery little hand and ran towards the third floor, saying, "I will explain to you later; our priority is to escape." The girl also heard the monster's footsteps coming up the stairs and temporarily set aside her feelings of being abandoned by He Hao. She pulled him to the side and whispered, "There is a restroom over there; let's hide there." He Hao reiterated, "I will explain to you later; our priority is to escape." The girl, hearing the monster's footsteps, momentarily put aside her grievances and pulled He Hao to the side, whispering, "There is a restroom over there; let's hide there."

Help! The girl cried out for help once again. He Hao looked around and saw that there was no one nearby to assist. Not knowing where he found the courage, he took a few steps back, closed his eyes, and threw himself against the supermarket's glass door. Unfortunately, the door was made of tempered glass; He Hao collided with it and saw stars, yet the glass door remained unscathed

Regardless of how that girl incited ridicule, He Hao was unwilling to go to his death. He curled up in the corner of the bathroom, holding his head, refusing to listen to the girl's cries and curses. During tense moments, it was manageable, but once he calmed down, He Hao felt a heavy dizziness in his head, his eyelids felt weighted, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Achoo!" He Hao seemed to have caught a cold and sneezed again

He Hao, disregarding his injuries, lifted his leg and ran towards the stairs. Panting, he rushed up to the already chaotic second floor. Upon just one glance, he nearly wet his pants. What came into view was a monster covered in green, hard spikes, somewhat resembling a strong bull, but at least three times its size. The bull's head bore a pair of curved horns that were a meter long, and its mouth was as large as a basin, with jagged tusks protruding from its mouth. Dark red liquid dripped from its sharp teeth onto the ground. The monster's eyes were very small, only the size of soybeans, yet they gleamed with a glaring, blood-red light that was hard to look at. Compared to a monster he had seen in his dreams before, this one was infinitely more disgusting and terrifying.

He Hao nodded and said, "Aunt Yu, I have not yet found a job. Please allow me to owe you for a few more days. As soon as I find a job, I will repay you in full with interest."

Taking advantage of the cover provided by the rows of shelves, He Hao and the young girl managed to escape into the restroom. Hearing the footsteps of the monster wandering on the third floor, both He Hao and the girl felt their hearts racing in the restroom. He Hao quickly whispered, "Miss Zhang, what is that monster outside?"

He Hao pointed at the girl, speechless with anger. At that moment, a sudden cacophony erupted in the hall on the third floor of the supermarket. Unable to locate He Hao and the girl, Qiongqi seemed to be enraged, crashing into the supermarket shelves in a frenzy, trying to clear space to search for food. Seizing the opportunity, the girl grabbed He Hao's arm and shook it, saying, "Good brother, please help me just this once. You are a man; you should be a hero saving the beauty."

How strange? This should be the first time I have met him, yet it feels as if I am very familiar with him. The young girl was filled with confusion, while He Hao slowly sat down and said to her: Please take care of him and do not let the monster obtain his flesh and blood

He Haofei quickly got up, revealing the only one yuan coin and three ten fen coins he had, and smiled awkwardly, saying: "Aunt Yu, please don't misunderstand, I lost my money. The corridor is too dark, so I had to squat down to look for it. Aunt Yu, see, I found this."

The young girl was both angry and anxious, rushing forward to pull He Hao, only to find that his hand was burning hot. When she touched He Hao's forehead, it felt even hotter, as if it were on fire. It turned out that He Hao had gone hungry for more than ten hours today, had been drenched by heavy rain in the middle of the night, and had been frightened by a monster. For the first time in his life, his body, which had never caught a cold, was running a fever.

A melodious voice echoed through the supermarket, "Alright, you all can rest assured, just prepare the money." The man then locked the door again, turned to He Hao, and shouted, "The rain has stopped, you need to leave immediately; we will not be responsible for any incidents that occur."

The young girl stopped crying, placed her hands on her hips, and said with a sense of entitlement: "Of course, how could you bear to see such a beautiful girl like me being eaten by a monster? Rest assured, I will remember you. Every Qingming Festival from now on, I will burn paper for you."

In June, the sun mercilessly scorches the earth like a raging fire, the cement roads gleam blindingly white, seemingly emitting wisps of smoke. The air appears to be on fire, and human breaths resemble bursts of flames. Vehicles incessantly traverse the highways with their air conditioning set to maximum, while pedestrians are few and far between. Occasionally, some individuals, driven by the need to make a living, hustle under the blazing sun, all drenched in sweat and lacking vitality. This international metropolis has transformed into a colossal furnace, a suffocating furnace.

He Haogang ran down to the second floor, intending to escape from the monster-infested supermarket, but saw that the creature had already appeared on the first floor. He Haogang screamed, "Oh my God!" and hurriedly fled back up to the second floor, while the monster relentlessly pursued him, seemingly intent on killing or devouring both He Haogang and the young girl.

I am here to capture monsters. The young girl said with a sorrowful expression, "In this supermarket, six people have gone missing in the past month. The owner suspects that the supermarket is haunted, so he came to my house to ask my father to exorcise the spirits. However, my father left for a trip half a month ago. I came here to investigate this afternoon, initially thinking that the spirits in the supermarket were just ordinary little monsters, so I took on the task of capturing them. Little did I know that during my first solo ghost-hunting experience, I would encounter the infamous ancient monster, Qiongqi. My talismans were completely ineffective, and my peach wood sword was bitten in half by Qiongqi. I almost got eaten by it."

This monster is called Qiongqi. The young girl explained in a barely audible voice: Qiongqi is an ancient monster that specifically preys on humans, possessing a high degree of intelligence. Fortunately, it seems to have a poor sense of smell; otherwise, we would have nowhere to hide.

"Haven't you seen the newspapers these days?" said the man who was speaking to He Hao. Before He Hao could respond, another fat man suddenly interjected, addressing the first man: "Fat Fish, stop talking. The fewer people who know, the better." The man who had questioned He Hao nodded, ceased speaking, and hurriedly ran down the steps with the man who was as round as an egg, driving away in a sedan. It is truly puzzling how they managed to squeeze their waists into the relatively narrow seats of the car.

On a dark night, with the wind and rain raging, a girl as beautiful as a celestial being was with two wealthy men in a deserted place. He Hao's mind quickly filled with a series of filthy and sordid thoughts. He Hao, enviously smacking his lips, was just about to approach the door to take a look when the two men opened the supermarket's large door and stepped out. One of the men called into the supermarket, "Miss Zhang, once the matter is settled, please give us a call, and we will come to pick you up. You must ensure that everything is completed before the store opens tomorrow."

"You ask me, who should I ask?" He Hao shouted in as low a voice as possible, "You are the ghost-catching master; dealing with monsters is your forte. You should find a way to handle this!"

Unable to see that beautiful girl again, He Hao felt an immense disappointment in his heart. Just as he was about to return to the bench to sleep, a piercing scream suddenly echoed from the second floor of the supermarket, "Help!" Following that was the sound of objects crashing down, accompanied by a chilling roar that sent shivers down one's spine. He Hao recognized that the scream belonged to the girl, and his heart raced with urgency. At that moment, the girl's scream rang out once more, and the terrifying roar grew louder.

"Did you not see? Of course, it’s a monster!" the girl said in a low voice, clearly annoyed. "Haven't you read the recent newspapers? The Yayi'an chain supermarket has had a series of missing persons, and business has plummeted. No one dares to come here anymore." He Hao's eyes nearly popped out; there really are monsters in this world! No wonder there were no security guards at the supermarket entrance, and not a single homeless person dared to stay overnight in the small park across the street.

Achoo! Achoo! He Hao, dressed only in a thin shirt, was shivering all over from the rain and couldn't help but sneeze twice. The more anxious he became, the harder it was to find a place to take shelter. This small park had no pavilion at all. Just as He Hao was feeling desperate, he suddenly noticed that a large supermarket across the street was still lit up. He was overjoyed and hurriedly climbed over the roadside railing, splashing through the puddles as he ran towards the street opposite. In the late night, with few vehicles around, He Hao was fortunate that his name did not make the headlines of the traffic section in the next day's newspaper.

After the two men left, some time passed. Although the rain in the sky had lessened, it continued to fall incessantly. He Hao grew increasingly curious and quietly approached the glass doors of the supermarket to sneak a look inside. The supermarket was eerily quiet, with only rows of neatly arranged shelves visible in the spacious interior. Although he could not see the end at a glance, there was no sign of any activity. The young girl seemed to have gone up to the second or third floor of the supermarket, as He Hao did not spot her on the first floor.

The young girl also saw He Hao. For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt an impulse to go up and slap him, even though at that moment, He Hao appeared to be nothing more than a down-and-out vagrant. It is strange to say, but under normal circumstances, if He Hao encountered such a beautiful woman, he would have rushed over to pursue her or ask for her phone number. However, today, for reasons unknown, upon seeing this girl, He Hao was suddenly overcome by an inexplicable sense of fear, instinctively lowering his head and daring not to look into her star-like eyes.

"Him? Which him?" the girl asked curiously, but He Hao's head hung low, and he had already fainted again
