Ning Yanlan gasped, still shaken, and said, "You watch over her, I'm going to help Jiang Yuan!"

As she spoke, she struggled to get up and go into the room.

Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan arrived at the Holy Spirit Fortress one after the other, and the two Holy Spirits inside were no longer hiding.

"He's still alive!" the creature with a strength level of six said disdainfully. "Indeed, we can't place our hopes on an ant!"

"It was you guys who did this!" Jiang Yuan said angrily.

"What? You pseudo-evolvers think you can break through the Holy Spirit Fortress?" the Powerful Holy Spirit sneered, looking at Jiang Yuan. "So what if your power has broken through thirty? Without cultivation techniques, you're just a paper tiger! All show and no substance!"

Jiang Yuan threw a punch, a punch imbued with the power of rage and the enhancement of the dog claw gauntlets, but the Holy Spirit Fortress remained completely unmoved.

"Jiang Yuan, I can break through!"

Ning Yanlan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, looking at him with tender eyes, "You go out first!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused. Why did he need me to go out when he could break through?

"Yes, the secret technique must not be disturbed!" Ning Yanlan's fingertips trembled.

"It's okay, I'll stay quiet and won't bother you!" Jiang Yuan said worriedly.

"It's alright!" Ning Yanlan felt Jiang Yuan's affection and then said, "I just want to say a few words to the Holy Spirit!"

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan didn't know Ning Yanlan's plan, but he could only try now.

Ning Yanlan laughed heartily, "I'm not sure!"

"But we should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?"

Jiang Yuan frowned, but he still decided to leave. "Then be careful, call me if anything happens!"

“Mm!” Ning Yanlan replied.

When Jiang Yuan withdrew, he found that Xu Lian had been suppressed by Xu Feng, but Xu Lian was still struggling violently.

"Brother Jiang!" Xu Feng shouted as he saw Jiang Yuan walk over, "Don't hurt Xiao Lian, she can break free!"

"That's your business, I won't interfere! Just don't hurt me!" Jiang Yuan put his hands in his pockets, his eyes showing no pity or kindness.

After what just happened, his trust has almost completely vanished. In the apocalypse, any extra kindness is just malice towards oneself, because you never know when or who will stab you in the back.

Xu Feng glanced at the Holy Spirit Fortress, which was still emitting light, then knocked Xu Lian unconscious with a karate chop. He said in a deep voice, "I'm taking Xu Lian with me! We're not getting involved in the opportunities here!"

"Whatever!" Jiang Yuan said casually.

“We received some of the cores and Holy Spirit Stones before, so that was what we deserved!” Xu Feng said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s what you deserve!” Jiang Yuan took off the ring from his head.

Cutting off the call between the four people signifies the end of the collaboration.

"See you again someday!" Xu Feng carried Xu Lian on his back, said this, and walked towards the mountains.

Yes, Xu Feng didn't plan to go to Nancheng. After what happened in Xujia Village, Xu Feng understood that in the apocalypse, he could only rely on himself. A safe zone like Nancheng was nothing more than a giant Xujia Village. It would be better to go deep into the mountains and live with monsters, at least he wouldn't have to worry about the treachery of humans.

Jiang Yuan watched the two disappear into the distance. Traveling in the opposite direction from the safe zone was an unknown journey, and no one knew what would happen next.

"I hope you can survive!" Jiang Yuan murmured, when suddenly an explosion rang out behind him. His expression changed drastically. "Yan Lan!"

Without pausing, Jiang Yuan rushed into the house. At that moment, the house that the villagers of Xujia Village had surrounded collapsed completely, and the area within fifty meters of the Holy Spirit Fortress became a frozen wasteland.

Kaka

At the center of the leap, Jiang Yuan seemed to feel his blood frozen and unable to flow smoothly, and even his thoughts slowed down.

In a daze, Jiang Yuan saw a woman with a head of long, ice-blue hair, but the next moment his consciousness was frozen and he fell into a coma.

"Fighting with your life on the line! How could I let you see something so shameful!" Ning Yanlan sat down next to the unconscious Jiang Yuan.

The ice recedes, and the warmth of the light enters the heart.

...

It took Jiang Yuan a long time to wake up. The first thing he thought of when he woke up was Ning Yanlan, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Yanlan smiling at him.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and realized he was resting his head on Ning Yanlan's lap. He hurriedly got up and asked, "What happened just now? I heard an explosion, turned my head, and saw an ice palace, and..."

Just as he was about to ask who the woman with the ice-blue hair was, Ning Yanlan covered his lips with her finger and chuckled softly, "Are you hallucinating from the explosion? Where did this ice palace come from?"

"Forehead!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the location where the Holy Spirit Fortress had been, but upon seeing it, he exclaimed in surprise, "Where is the Holy Spirit Fortress?"
