Xiao Jin suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Sure enough, as soon as the girl with the twin ponytails finished speaking, Gao Ya turned her head and looked directly at where Xiao Jin was.
Although they were far apart, Xiao Jin was certain that Gao Ya had noticed his presence.
Xiao Jin's lips twitched involuntarily.
A moment later, a voice rang out: "Friends over there, if you don't mind, why don't you come down and have a chat?"
Putting down the binoculars, Xiao Jin unfolded her ice crystal wings and flew directly from the top of the building to the ground.
"Whoa!" This action immediately caused an uproar.
Gao Ya narrowed her eyes and pressed the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth.
The girl with twin ponytails said in a serious tone, "Big sister, this guy's energy reaction is ridiculously high. Do we really want to recruit him into the team?"
As the figure in the air drew closer, Gao Ya's eyes widened suddenly.
She laughed heartily, all her hesitation vanishing: "Don't worry, don't worry, this guy isn't that kind of tasteless trash."
Gao Ya patted the shoulder of the girl with pigtails and greeted Xiao Jin as she landed.
"Haha, if I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have been so worried! Come on, help me!"
This guy… Xiao Jin shook his head, then ran directly towards the mutated giant lizard. Gao Ya did the right thing; now is not the time for pleasantries.
Xiao Jin stood on the ruins, the long sword in his hand gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Her gaze was fixed on the giant mutated lizard in front of her.
The opponent was the size of a small mountain, with dark red skin covered with sharp bone spurs, and a tail like a steel whip that could smash the surrounding buildings to pieces with every swing.
"Roar—" The mutated giant lizard let out a deafening roar, its scarlet eyes fixed on the surrounding players as if it wanted to tear them to shreds.
Xiao Jin let out a low shout, and the long sword in his hand instantly burst forth with a dazzling light.
Her figure moved like a ghost as she swiftly rushed towards the mutated giant lizard, her blade leaving afterimages in the air before slashing fiercely at the lizard's body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The blade struck the giant lizard's skin with a dull thud.
She was incredibly fast, and each of her attacks landed precisely in the same spot, gradually weakening the giant lizard's defenses.
The melee players in front suddenly felt much less pressure.
Upon closer inspection, they saw Xiao Jin flying through the air like lightning, his long sword slashing repeatedly at the giant lizard, the blade gleaming with a strange light.
Moreover, whenever the giant lizard's tail was about to strike Xiao Jin, her ice-blue wings would flap behind her, carrying Xiao Jin away quickly.
"Who is that...? So strong!" a player exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"I don't know, but she seems to be very familiar with Gao Ya."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that everything was fine then, since the big boss must know other big bosses.
Over here, Xiao Jin successfully smashed the mutated giant lizard into the ground with several blade strikes, causing the surrounding bluestone slabs to crack inch by inch, and the buildings to look as if locusts had swept through.
After the last world ended, Xiao Jin's Shattered Shadow's skills changed after this enhancement.
Originally, it could only unleash three blades of shattered light, but now it has activated an energy bar mode.
As long as her energy bar remains, she can continuously unleash blade energy to launch sustained attacks on her enemies.
The energy bar is replenished by the Bloodlust value. As long as Xiao Jin continues to attack with his longsword, the energy bar will gradually fill up.
The scene before them left almost all the players dumbfounded.
They watched as the mutated giant lizard, which they had fought so hard to kill, was tossed around like a ball by Xiao Jin, completely powerless to fight back.
"What are you all standing there for? Help!" Gao Ya shouted from the side, holding a huge battle sword in her hand, the blade gleaming with a cold light.
Gao Ya's shouts startled everyone, and they quickly reacted and joined the battle.
Half of the players are responsible for clearing out the mutated creatures that swarm out of the supermarket and surrounding streets, while the rest are responsible for killing the BOSS.
Gao Ya wielded her giant sword with great power, each swing leaving a deep wound on the giant lizard's body.
The other players also showed their skills, some using their fists, some using their swords, and some holding up shields to block in front, buying time for the mage players in the back row.
The mages stood at a distance, their hands gathering various elemental energies—fireballs, ice arrows, lightning—and attacks rained down on the giant lizard.
Xiao Jin's attacks remained fierce; her figure danced in the air, her blades constantly slashing at the giant lizard's weak points.
Shattered Shadow's energy bar rapidly charged during the battle, and its blade light poured down like a storm, completely shattering the giant lizard's defenses.
In other words, as long as the battle continues, the energy of the Shattered Shadow will never run out.
"Roar—" The giant lizard let out a painful roar, its body began to tremble violently, clearly unable to hold on any longer.
"The BOSS is about to die!" Gao Ya shouted, "Everyone, seize this opportunity and attack with all your might!"
The giant sword in her hand burst forth with dazzling light, and the blade struck the giant lizard's head like a bolt of lightning.
Xiao Jin was not to be outdone. He gathered spatial power at the tip of his blade and instantly stabbed at the mutated animal.
"Boom!" Xiao Jin cleaved the giant lizard's head in two with a single stroke, blood gushing out, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
[Ding... Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden quest: defeating the level 6 mutated creature lurking in the city center. Points have been awarded according to contribution...]
The system notification echoed in all the players' ears, and Xiao Jin's score instantly increased by 5500 points. At the same time, he also obtained four materials dropped by the mutated giant lizard.
One lizard tail, one claw, and two common ingredients.
The other players also received system rewards, and excited smiles appeared on their faces as they showed off their gains to each other.
Now that the BOSS has been defeated, there's no point in players staying here any longer.
Then, the crowd dispersed like a tide, leaving only Xiao Jin and Gao Ya walking side by side into the supermarket ahead.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect we'd be in the same instance world again!" Gao Ya walked up to Xiao Jin, her eyes full of admiration.
It had only been a few worlds since they last met, and Xiao Jin seemed to have become even stronger, which made Gao Ya feel somewhat frustrated.
Xiao Jin smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
"What are your plans for the future?" Gao Ya asked.
"Nothing for now, is there something you need?" Xiao Jin looked up.
"It's nothing important, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me." Gao Ya shook her head, gesturing for Xiao Jin to look behind her.
A dozen or so people were standing not far behind Gao Ya, all of them female players.
At this moment, the girl with twin ponytails was also inside, staring at Xiao Jin warily.
Although the leader said that Xiao Jin was not an enemy, she had been struggling in the survival game for so long and had encountered all kinds of people!
It's always good to be cautious.
