This time, he slaughtered everyone without any restraint.

As Jian Ning followed behind him, picking up the monster's head, she released her spiritual sense to carefully observe the surrounding environment, not missing a single subtle fluctuation. Sure enough, she discovered a clue.

A very small, silvery fish with thorns as sharp as needles on its mouth.

It swims extremely fast, and it always lies dormant under the bellies of those monsters, only being discovered when it suddenly bursts out.

In the short time she had been observing, three silver fish had attacked Xiao Lingfeng. Luckily, he had been wearing armor earlier, so he wasn't injured.

Just as Jian Ning was about to warn it, she heard a sharp whooshing sound. She quickly dodged and swung her sword. With a clang, the Ruoshui Sword pierced the silver fish, but instead of killing it, it made a crisp sound.

Don't let its small size fool you; this silver fish has a surprisingly tough body. Even such a sharp sword couldn't harm it, which piqued Jian Ning's interest. If its spines were used to make concealed weapons, they would be virtually impossible to defend against.

Let's catch a few to study first. So there's no rush to collect the monster heads. He took out a handful of sleeping pills from his storage bracelet and called out to Xiao Lingfeng to turn off his sense of smell.

Then, seizing the opportunity, when the silver fish rushed out to attack Xiao Lingfeng, he threw out a large handful of sleeping pills.

As long as the fish needs to breathe air from the water, it will be caught in the trap. Jian Ning was absolutely certain of this.

Just as she expected, the two silver fish that attacked Xiao Lingfeng noticeably slowed down when the sleeping potion was thrown. They swayed a couple of times and then rolled over in the water, having been knocked unconscious.

Not only those two fish, but in that instant, all the monsters surrounding Xiao Lingfeng lost consciousness. This was no ordinary sleeping potion.

But those extracted from spiritual herbs have amazing effects.

Unfortunately, Jian Ning didn't have many of these, otherwise she could have scattered a large number of them when she was building the house to attack, leaving the monsters with nowhere to escape.

Xiao Lingfeng glanced back at Jian Ning, gave her a thumbs-up, and then went back to sever the monster's head. Jian Ning walked over and picked up the two silver fish.

It felt cold to the touch and looked like a normal fish, except its body was long and flat, and it didn't seem to have much meat. The needle-like spines on its mouth were so sharp they couldn't be pried off by hand.

I tried to cut it with my sword, but it didn't budge. I don't know if it's a species that's naturally found in the sea or if the fish has mutated.

Jian Ning tossed them directly into her spirit beast pouch, not daring to put them in her immortal abode, lest they pollute the river water there. After all, no one knew whether the fish carried any viruses.

Then they continued picking up the monster heads behind Xiao Lingfeng; today's haul was incredibly rich.

When the two returned that evening, they had killed more than two thousand monsters, far exceeding the fifty-monster task assigned to them by the commander.

The warriors who were counting the monster heads were speechless with astonishment. This woman was too amazing. How did she kill them? The cuts on the heads were all clean and swift, a single sword stroke to sever the heads.

Even with Captain Xiao assisting her, wouldn't she get tired?

Besides, where did they find so many monsters? Did they go into the ocean? It's so cold, no one can stay down there for long, and these two aren't even wet.

"Let's go get something to eat first, then you can go back and rest." Xiao Lingfeng meant that there was no need to stay here and supervise the counting; he was sure she wouldn't be shortchanged.

"good."

Jian Ning knew she had to go through the motions; after all, everyone needs to eat, and if she came back from a busy day without eating anything, people would suspect something. So she followed Xiao Lingfeng to the cafeteria.

Dinner consisted of a large pot of thin millet porridge and boiled drought-resistant potatoes, with three potatoes for each person. Since Jian Ning was new, she was given a can of fish as a special consideration.

There's no staple food at all; these soldiers must be really suffering. With such intense physical activity every day, how can they possibly survive on so little?

Jian Ning ate her millet porridge, pondered for a while, and waited until she and Xiao Lingfeng returned home. Seeing that no one was around,

He asked in a low voice, "How about I bring out some pork and rice to improve everyone's lives? If they're well-fed and have the strength, they can kill more monsters."

"It's not that it's impossible, but you can't just take it out of thin air, can you? The commander knows roughly what's in my space. If you suddenly produce supplies, it'll easily arouse suspicion."

"It's alright. Tomorrow we'll go up the mountain. I'll just say we caught a wild boar, and it's alive. As for the food, we'll say it was stored by hunters in a cave on the mountain, and we found it. We can just bring it down then."

It's easy to make up a lie. There are no security cameras anyway, and with food available, who would bother to investigate further?

"OK,"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng felt that Jian Ning's suggestion was not unreasonable. His comrades had all lost weight due to hunger these days, and everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering. Yesterday, when he brought over some braised pork to Fu Mengfan, he almost ate the whole lunchbox.

Back in her dormitory, Jian Ning didn't turn on the air conditioner. She locked the door and went into her immortal abode, figuring that no one except Xiao Lingfeng would come looking for her.

He poured the two fish out of the storage bag and placed them on the ground; the effects of the drug had worn off.

Both fish woke up and, due to dehydration, struggled and thrashed about on the ground.

Jian Ning dug a small hole in the ground, threw a water ball spell into it, and the two fish actually struggled to move into the water on their own without her having to do anything, and started swimming happily.

It turns out they don't necessarily need to be in the sea to survive. That goes without saying.

It's definitely a mutated species. Jian Ning pulled one out of the water.

Using his spiritual energy, he used the Ruoshui Sword to cut open the small fish's softest part, killing it and removing the sharp barb from its mouth.

I don't know what material this spike is made of. I'll try to refine it later and see if it works.

She'll go back and get more from the sea. As for the other one, she plans to give it to Fu Mengfan to study, to see if he can make any unexpected discoveries.

With a flick of her finger, a small flame of the invisible strange fire she had previously subdued emerged. Jian Ning burned it for five or six minutes before the spike showed signs of softening.

Its hardness is comparable to black gold stone. Jian Ning simply sat cross-legged, made hand seals, added black gold and silver ore, and began to refine it with all her might.

It wasn't until evening that the spike was finally refined. It was entirely silvery-white, with faint black specks. It floated in the air as if weightless.
