The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

The hunger glittering in its eyes was unmistakable.
It hadn’t had a filling meal in ages since it was shut up in the cave.
Now out of nowhere a bunch of humans walked in to fill its belly.
There was no way it was going to let them get away!

The adventurers regained their strength after entering the cave and they were able to use their qi and magic to battle the wolf.
Had it not been for that, they would have already died.

Right now there were eight still alive in the cave.
They were still breathing because they were working together.
Despite working together though, they couldn’t figure out how to deal with the wolf.

The Sky Devouring wolf was an awesome beast, and you had to admit its fierce reputation was well earned.

“The wolf is restricted to the cave, so if we can get out, we should be safe,” said a female magician.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Suddenly someone shoved her toward the beast.
There was only a short distance between the adventurers and the beast so she fell forward easily and served as a distraction while the others fled.

The one who did the shoving was of course the dark magician, Sixth Elder Shaya[notes] of the Lianye clan.
He was a naturally-born dark magician.
Supposedly dark magicians were even more rare than light magicians.

He had a strong affinity for the dark so it was natural for him to choose the dark path.
He never expected to lose his ability after entering and nearly be killed.
It was shameful.
Heading into what appeared to be an exit was also the wrong decision.
Instead of an exit he walked into the lair of a carnivorous beast.
His luck was so bad.

He had no advantages over the wolf, despite being a powerful magician.
Fortunately he thought of the good idea of pushing the female in front of him toward the beast.
As long as someone served as a distraction for the beast, then he could escape.

He never expected the others around him to be so quick.
Their movements almost slowed him down.

The Sky Devouring wolf was a unique beast on earth.
It had human-like intelligence so naturally it wasn’t going to let Shaya have his way.
Its fur took on a red sheen as it condensed magic and shot out a ball of energy toward the entrance.

Those running for the exit had to dodge out of the way.
They would have lost half their lives had they been hit, assuming of course they survived at all.

“Damn!” A male sword master cursed out as he took something out of his dimensional ring.
It was a short-range teleportation scroll.
Using it would send him somewhere else not too far away on the corridor path.

He tried to activate the scroll, but who knew it wouldn’t start?!

“It’s not activating!” he yelled out.

Their faces turned ugly as their hope faded away.
No one wanted to die, but if they couldn’t teleport out, what could they do?

The female magician Shaya pushed out didn’t die.
The wolf wasn’t so foolish as to swap one piece of meat in place of seven.
It had ignored her in favor of stopping the others from reaching the entrance.

That’s right.
Everything in front of it was food and not a single piece was going to escape.

The wolf was confident in its strength.
Even if it was captured and imprisoned by that guy for the past tens of thousands of years, its strength remained the same as the day it entered.

Along the red road…

The path was curvy and bumpy with magma heat and fire on all sides.
It was like they were on top of a volcano.
The people that were too weak to walk and had to stop incinerated into ash.

Of the twenty that first entered, only ten were left.
These included Jier, Elena, Luis, Wind and Rain.
The siblings were the weakest, but since they were part Jier’s team, he as the captain shielded them from the brunt of it.

On the snowy, icy road…

The entire pathway was frozen, made worse by the intermittent freezing wind that cut through.
From time to time the cold condensed and formed beasts that attacked them.
The frequency increased the farther they walked.
Jasmine and Yifu received minor injuries but were otherwise fine.
