A rainbow of light swirled around, creating a stunning effect on the clear, pebble-strewn pool.
Xiao Han took a bite of a piece of grilled fish. The charred fish skin wasn't very tasty, and the lack of seasoning was a major disappointment.
Wild fruits are tasteless, without any sweetness, just like plain water.
The only thing that caught Xiao Han's eye was the clear spring water filling the bamboo tube. A faint fishy smell made him reluctantly pour the water back.
However, he raised a sword... a skewer of grilled fish, a look of satisfaction on his face, an elegant demeanor, as he bit into the grilled fish while making a gesture of enjoying the deliciousness, giving Minnie the illusion that she had truly "brushed past a delicious grilled fish".
In any case, one cannot lose face in front of Minnie.
Otherwise, he would be outmaneuvered by the cunning Minise, who would smile knowingly and wait for him to fall into the trap, setting traps one after another until he questioned the meaning of life.
Such a pure and innocent noble lady is actually so cunning. Xiao Han felt that the Tulip Clan Chief needed to reflect on himself.
What was once a pure and innocent jasmine flower turned out to be a poppy in disguise.
After the two replenished their energy, just in case, Xiao Han put his hamster suit back on. His orange appearance and amazing speed aroused Minnie's curiosity.
Magical equipment, also known as magical items, can only be crafted by special mage classes. They are very popular in the market and are mainly divided into five tiers.
Tier 1 is applicable to Black Iron rank professionals, apprentice level, such as mage apprentices, novice knights, etc.
Tier 2 and 3 are suitable for Bronze-ranked professionals such as mages, knights, swordsmen, assassins, and thieves.
The fourth and fifth ranks correspond to the ultimate professionals of the Silver rank, such as Grand Mages, Grand Knights, and Great Swordsmen.
The mid-level magic scroll she casually tossed aside was of fourth-tier quality, and its Fireball spell was at the peak of the silver tier, worth hundreds of silver coins.
"call out!"
Xiao Han activated the ability to change size anywhere, and an orange hamster stepped on a stone in the pond, hopping and jumping to explore the surroundings.
"They are quite wary."
Minnie, sipping a cup of green tea, watched Xiao Han's figure disappear from sight. She smiled slightly, unconcerned.
The little fox's wariness stemmed not only from her suspicion of the Divine Court, but also from her suspicion of Minise.
"Okay, let's take a break and prepare for the next phase of the operation."
She stroked her forehead to relieve her fatigue; she had been in a mentally active state for a while, which had taken a lot of her energy.
Then, she slightly raised her eyes, gazing at the small rainbow floating in the void, and suddenly seemed to remember something. Her delicate face froze, and her beautiful eyes went blank.
...
Deep in the mountain stream, a dim light shone, drawing Xiao Han's attention.
He suspected it was gold jewelry; anything that glows is usually a good thing.
Soon, Xiao Han reverted to his original form, summoned the Obsidian Sword, and used the Doran's Shield in his left hand to defend against attacks as he moved closer.
The luster was hidden in the sand in the water. Xiao Han dug out a piece of broken armor from the soft mud and sand.
It wouldn't be accurate to say it was damaged; there were no knife or sword marks on it, and it was relatively intact. However, what surprised Xiao Han was that the armor was engraved with familiar patterns.
Against the backdrop of a shield, two swords with intertwined iron chains crossed, and although somewhat blurry, Xiao Han still recognized them.
This is the emblem of the Gubang family, and also the symbol of the Shadow Guard's standard battle armor.
Xiao Han was quite curious. Minnie had been searching for something near the stream before, and it was possible that these items were the trail of the search.
He then abandoned the armor and looked around, until he came to a cave filled with boulders.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally summoned Minnie and told her everything.
"The shadow guards sent by the Gubang family may have already been wiped out."
Minnie judged that her bright eyes and the clashing of thoughts would not last more than a few breaths for an ordinary person before their brain shut down and they became a vegetable.
After talking for a while, the two decided to explore the secrets of the cave together.
Xiao Han stepped to the highest point and began carrying stones.
The paralysis ring had been improving his physique. Although the effect was slight for a demon king's physique, it accumulated day by day, and after a month of accumulation, it allowed him to step into the newly promoted silver physique, which was the first time he had reached the limit of human potential.
A surge of energy and a rush of blood!
"Alright, you can leave now."
From behind came Minnie's voice, causing Xiao Han to stop moving the stones abruptly.
She summoned a magic scroll, and as magical energy flowed in, its patterns burst forth. She cast a spell, and a ball of earthy yellow light emerged, instantly covering the pile of stones outside the cave.
Intermediate-level spell, Earth Shatter!
Under this brilliant light, the stone cracked and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because the stones thrown down by Xiao Han from above piled up below into a small mountain, they were better covered by magic, increasing efficiency.
"Lying down..."
Xiao Han was taken aback, then quickly changed into his hamster form and scurried down the hill.
As the rocks melted away, the interior of the cave came into view for the two.
Quiet, dark, with a hint of unknown fear.
"Hiss!"
Several startled bats darted out, baring their teeth and flapping their wings as they flew away.
This is a Black Iron Rank monster, a Blood Bat with dark red wings. It loves blood and enjoys dragging its prey into caves to bleed them, creating a place rich in blood energy.
Xiao Han looked at the several blood bats circling overhead. They showed no hostility and even treated him as one of their own.
"Look, there seems to be the presence of a companion over there, but the wings are gone, what a poor thing."
