Chapter 318 Overcoming Fear
At this time, Li Guoer was frightened by a group of snake demons in the foundation-building stage.
"Ah...ah...ah! Xiaokong, please save me!" Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, screaming.
Fear made her hair stand on end, her whole body became weak and powerless, she couldn't muster any strength, cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
"Young master, these are just a group of snake beasts in the Foundation Establishment Stage. What's so scary about them? Why are you so scared?" Xiao Kong was very puzzled to see her so scared.
With the young master's ferocity, shouldn't he be frightened by these snake monsters? They're just a bunch of foundation-building monsters, and they can be dealt with with a wave of the hand!
This was clearly not right! However, he did not offer any assistance, but simply released his mighty power to suppress the snake beasts in their place.
"Xiaokong, hurry...quickly get these snakes away. I have been afraid of these things since I was a child! They were my nightmares when I was a kid!" Li Guoer shouted again in extreme fear.
She knew clearly in her mind that these snake monsters could not do anything to her, but her mental and physical reactions were extremely scary and she couldn't overcome it!
As for why this happened, it has to do with what happened in her childhood, and the psychological trauma this incident caused her.
It is said that when she was just a few years old, she was playing with the children in the village at the entrance of the village.
A snake catcher from another village passed by and, in order to amuse them, released a bag of mostly non-venomous snakes he had caught in the mountains to scare them.
Those snakes were not afraid of people and kept crawling around them.
Some of them were crawling up and down on their bodies. The children were scared and tried all kinds of ways to drive them away. If they annoyed the snakes, they would get bitten.
Even though it wasn't poisonous, they were just kids, how could they know that? They were so frightened that they cried for their parents and were in a state of panic.
Li Guoer still clearly remembers the cold and slippery feeling of the snakes twisting and crawling on her body.
She was so frightened that she couldn't express it in words and was completely terrified.
When the Li family heard the news and came to pick her up, they saw her looking silly and stupid.
He developed a high fever that night, and was unable to fall asleep for a period of time afterwards, or he would wake up quickly after falling asleep, and then start crying and making a fuss.
The Li family was heartbroken, and Li Gensheng took great pains to comfort her, but the shadow of her fear of snakes remained.
As for the snake catcher, I heard that he was bitten by a poisonous snake while catching snakes. He died because he did not receive timely treatment.
Seeing so many snake monsters again today brought back the shadow of her childhood. How could she not be afraid?
"Little master, I know you are very scared, but you must overcome this weakness. If you don't solve it, it may become a mental demon! Then the gain will outweigh the loss!" Although Xiaokong didn't know the reason, he still hoped that the little master would eliminate this weakness as soon as possible.
I’m afraid that the longer I delay, the harder it will be to overcome. If I develop a mental demon because of this, that will be even worse.
Li Guoer looked miserable, but she still stood up tremblingly and asked unwillingly, "But...but I...I'm really scared! Are you really not going to help me?"
"Little master, you have to overcome this by yourself. If I help you, I will be harming you! Just imagine these things as things you are not afraid of, and then go up and kill them one by one with your sword. You will find that these fears are nothing. I believe you can overcome them soon!" Xiaokong made his voice as soft as possible, with a strong soothing power, to encourage the little master.
Looking at her red eyes and trembling body, Xiaokong felt distressed.
But he also knew that this was the only way for the young master to go, and she had to cross the mountain.
He suppressed the urge to help her get rid of all these snake monsters.
Perhaps Xiaokong's words of encouragement worked, and Li Guoer agreed to try to overcome it: "Okay, I will definitely try my best!"
She also knew that if this problem was not solved, the small problem would grow into a big problem, and it would be difficult to solve it once it became bigger.
He obediently summoned the Chaos Sword nurtured in his Dantian, and without using any special moves, he raised the sword, suppressed his fear, and slashed at a snake beast with trembling hands as if to vent his anger.
The snake beast immediately broke into two pieces, and the snake head was still twisting, spitting out its tongue, and rushing towards her with a hissing sound.
He suppressed the urge to scream, calmed himself down, and reluctantly raised his sword to chop at the snake's head continuously until it was chopped into a ball of rotten flesh.
After venting her anger, Li Guoer stared at the rotten mass of flesh in a daze. She didn't expect it to be just as Xiaokong said. What was there to be afraid of these snake beasts? It was nothing more than that!
After she killed all the snake beasts, the shadow left in her heart from her childhood also dissipated.
At the same time, I also understood why I was afraid when I was a child and why it left such a big shadow.
It was because I was too weak and not strong enough at that time.
If she had been able to kill all the snakes at that time, she would not have suffered psychological trauma.
The reason why people are afraid is because they are not strong enough.
As long as we are strong enough, the things that scare us will only scare us in return.
All she needs to do is constantly improve herself and strengthen herself!
At this moment, her mind was extremely clear, her state of mind had improved a lot, and she had the ticket to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
This made her very excited. She didn't expect that overcoming the trauma of her childhood could also elevate her state of mind. There was nothing better than this!
"Congratulations, young master! You have successfully overcome your fear, broken through yourself, and improved your state of mind. Advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner!" Xiaokong congratulated with a smile.
His young master was truly amazing. It had only been a short time, and he was already on the verge of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. A true genius in cultivation! His hope of ascending to the divine realm with his young master in the future was growing stronger and stronger!
Li Guoer thanked him sincerely, "Then I have to thank you too! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to overcome this weakness so quickly!"
Xiaokong is her guiding light. Without his guidance and assistance, she doesn't know what she would have achieved now.
"My little master, you don't have to thank me. You are not only my master but also my relative. Helping you is helping myself. I also want to go back to the God Realm with you to see my old master as soon as possible!" Xiao Kong's furry face showed a rare hint of shyness and embarrassment.
Li Guoer curled her lips and chuckled, "Then let's work hard together! I also want to see Master soon!"
Because of her improved state of mind, she is full of confidence. Maybe she will complete the mission soon and ascend to heaven with her family?
Xiao Kong reminded, "Okay! Didn't you say earlier that you were going to find a demon beast above the Nascent Soul stage to practice with today? Let's go to that area now!"
Now the young master’s primary task is to improve his combat experience. He doesn’t want the young master to be a weakling.
