Time is like a teenager's first stirrings of love—precious, yet fleeting.

A week passed quickly. During this week, Qiao Suinian did not give Feng Zhizhao and the others any chance to rest. Every day they had to spend their time fighting against the alien race.

Jiang Ping and Feng Zhizhao were injured countless times. Even Han Yueling, who was casting spells in the back, was accidentally bitten by a hunter spider. Fortunately, Zuo Fangya, the poison priest, was there and she was not seriously injured.

After a week, even Jiang Ping, a battle maniac who craved fighting, changed his expression.

The alien tribes on Mount Gaogang seem endless; one group is killed and another group comes, and no matter how many are killed, they can never be eliminated.

Several times, after they had fought their hardest to kill a group of alien monsters, another group of aliens would rush out.

If it weren't for Qiao Suinian's timely intervention, they would probably have been completely wiped out here.

The effects of this week's life-or-death battles were quite remarkable. Feng Zhizhao and the other three had all leveled up to level 10, their auras had become much more solid, and their eyes had gained a more murderous edge.

If Jiang Ping were to encounter Su Su again, he was confident that the other party would never be able to send him flying with a single touch.

"Little Nianzi, I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch right now!" Feng Zhizhao waved his arm excitedly.

A week later, his muscles had become much stronger, and the lightning he released had become increasingly violent, emitting a crackling sound.

On the contrary, Qiao Suinian himself, in order to serve as a bodyguard for Feng Zhizhao and the others, fell behind in level and only increased by 1 level to reach level 9.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's end this special training here." Qiao Suinian smiled with satisfaction.

Too much of a good thing is bad; slow and steady wins the race.

Simply focusing on fighting and battling with other races is not conducive to improving one's mental state.

"I'll take you guys to get some good stuff, and then we'll go back to Kyoto University!"

Qiao Suinian waved his hand and looked expectantly at the top of Mount Takaoka.

A week has passed, and that thing in the second reservoir should have become a boss-level creature by now, right?

Qiao Suinian led Feng Zhizhao toward Gaogang Mountain. This time, Qiao Suinian sent out the little skeleton to scout ahead, trying to avoid too many alien creatures.

In some situations where they simply cannot avoid them, they have no choice but to confront the situation head-on.

As they got closer to the reservoir at the top of the mountain, Qiao Suinian vaguely noticed that something was amiss.

Because he saw several corpses of alien races along the way.

Although alien races do kill each other, those few aliens clearly did not die at the hands of their own kind; judging from the wounds, they looked more like some kind of knife wound.

Qiao Suinian secretly became more cautious.

Immediately afterwards, they found two bodies in the bushes by the roadside. Both bodies were wearing white training clothes. One of the bodies was so decomposed that it was difficult to recognize its features.

The corpse's face was swollen like a steamed bun, its eyes bulging out like goldfish, its lips everted, its chest and abdomen bulging high, and the entire body was a disgusting, dirty green, covered with bluish-green veins. Its limbs were unbelievably thick.

The other body, however, was recognized by Qiao Suinian and the others; it was someone they knew!

"Aren't these the two male disciples of Master Ma? One of them seems to be named Liu Guang. How could they have died here?" Feng Zhizhao exclaimed in surprise.

It has been a week since they parted ways with Ma Baotian and his group. Logically speaking, Ma Baotian and his group should have already escorted Yang Beini back. How could they have died on Gaogang Mountain?

Zuo Fangya and Han Yueling glanced at the corpse and couldn't help but run to the side to vomit. There was no way around it; the corpse was just too disgusting.

Even Jiang Ping and Feng Zhizhao, two grown men, felt a bit nauseous.

“A giant’s appearance.” Qiao Suinian narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. “Considering the sweltering weather here, he must have been dead for a day or two.”

"Xiao Nianzi, do you think the deaths of these two people might be related to that woman named Yang Beini?" Feng Zhizhao asked with some concern.

"Whatever the truth is, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go." Qiao Suinian shook her head, clearly indicating that she did not want to get involved.

"Okay!" Feng Zhizhao nodded and quickly followed.

After advancing a short distance, they saw two more corpses.

This time, it was Ma Baotian's two female disciples.

They were hung from the tree with thick hemp ropes, and not only were their clothes stripped off, but their skin was also peeled off.

The blood had already drained away, and there were two pools of congealed blood under the tree. With such a large amount of blood loss, it was clear that they had been skinned alive.

His body was clearly visible as rows of dark brown muscles and some yellow fat.

Their faces were contorted with pain, clearly indicating they had suffered greatly before their deaths. One of them was missing her nose and an eyeball, and a piece of flesh was missing from her thigh.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here. Looking at too much will give you nightmares." Qiao Suinian didn't say anything more and continued on her way with her head down.

Han Yueling couldn't help but purse her lips, then cut the rope and lowered the two people down from the tree.

Then, they used frost magic to create two ice coffins and placed the two people inside.

As a woman herself, preventing the other person's body from being left to rot in the wilderness was the only thing she could do.

After doing all that, Han Yueling chased after Qiao Suinian and the others.

Qiao Suinian did not stop Han Yueling, but a faint sense of unease arose in his heart.

Could this Yang Beini be here for us?
