The chapter opens with a description of a foggy, foggy place. It's a dead end. The wind is blowing so hard that it's hard to see where the wind is coming from. There's also a lot of low-level demonic beasts in the area. The beetles are weak, and they're scared. The red-line-worm beast wants the sword, but the sword is too thick to pierce through the beast's skin. The beast is "ma chubby" , which means that the beast has swallowed the zheng . The zheng is able to use his sword's power to cut through the skin of the beast, but he can't get it to bite him. He's afraid to go back inside, so he uses his sword to drill a hole in the wall.
