"Is there anything else?" Jiang Yuan asked, turning around with a puzzled look.
"If you don't die this time, be my boyfriend!" Ning Yanlan said very seriously, not at all like she was joking.
"Don't joke around, we've only known each other for two days!" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.
"I'm serious. If you don't pursue me, I can pursue you!" Ning Yanlan raised her head, and although she was saying 'admitting defeat,' her expression was still full of arrogance.
Jiang Yuan didn't react immediately upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ning Yanlan hesitated. She let go and said with a faint smile, "Look how nervous you are. I was just joking with you!"
"Phew!" Jiang Yuan laughed awkwardly. "Look how confused I was. I thought..."
"Let's go, let's go. We can talk about romance after we've survived!" Ning Yanlan forcefully turned Jiang Yuan back around, and then the two of them ran down the road.
Her hesitation stemmed from a saying her mother had given her: "In matters of love, whoever speaks first loses, especially when the other person has no feelings for you!"
Several of the remaining thirty or so people in Xujia Village have already died, but in the apocalypse, death is commonplace. Most people don't have time to pity others, and no one knows if they will be the next to die. Who will pity them then?
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" Xu Lian had become separated from the others due to the charge of several bovine monsters and was now being attacked by two monsters.
One of the two monsters was a giant bull with awakened spirits, and the other was a blood-bellied eagle that flew across the river.
"Help me!" Xu Lian finally broke down at this moment. Her usual composure disappeared, and her elegant expression was replaced by fear.
Death is such a terrible thing for someone who is full of hope and looking forward to the future, because at this age they have never been prepared for death, and who would willingly die at the hands of a monster?
Xu Lian collapsed to the ground in a panic, and was now backing away.
"You protect her, I'll kill that cow!" Jiang Yuan rushed forward towards Xu Lian.
"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"
"A wild bull transformed from an ordinary water buffalo, a first-tier elite monster. Talents: Wild Bull Charge, Immense Strength. Weaknesses: Slowness, Temperament."
Jiang Yuan saw the information from the Heavenly Eye and did not underestimate it just because it was a Tier 1 elite monster. As a Tier 1 monster, this bull was not much weaker than a Tier 2 monster.
"Sister Yanlan, save me!"
As Xu Lian saw Ning Yanlan swooping down, the Blood-bellied Eagle circling overhead, waiting for its chance, pounced on the two women. It actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone, or rather, to take down two people at once.
"Spirit Shield!"
Ning Yanlan pulled Xu Lian behind her, raised a shield of spiritual light, and swung her dog leg... while unleashing a spiritual energy attack with the Holy Scepter.
"Jie!" The Blood-Bellied Eagle cried out, but instead of catching anyone, it was injured by Ning Yanlan's power.
"So powerful! I feel like my psionic energy is around four or five points!" Ning Yanlan exclaimed in amazement.
Psychic energy is different from physical energy; it is a completely new energy system. If physical energy is the best expression of physical energy, then psychic energy is the best expression of psychic energy. It is an energy similar to electromagnetic cannons in technology. Although it is invisible and intangible, its power is very real.
"Chirp!" The Blood-bellied Eagle was very clever. Seeing that it could not catch its prey, it stopped attacking and instead flew up into the sky and began to circle.
Ning Yanlan was helpless. This was the advantage of birds; if they couldn't win, they would retreat, and there was nothing you could do about them.
"Moo!"
With a furious roar, the bull charged straight at Jiang Yuan. Its rage was ingrained in its very bones, and it couldn't tolerate any provocation, especially with Jiang Yuan brandishing a knife in front of it.
The bull was fast, but Jiang Yuan, in combat mode, reacted much faster than it could run. The bull, which brushed past him, was slashed by the Tang sword, leaving a half-meter-long wound.
But the bull wasn't afraid because of its injury; instead, its eyes were bloodshot. Jiang Yuan remembered watching Spanish bullfighting shows before. Wasn't the bullfighting in those shows exactly the same as this one? The same madness, and even more so, a power far exceeding that of a bullfighting bull.
Thump thump thump thump! When the bull runs, it doesn't make a thumping sound, but rather a sound like the earth shaking.
Jiang Yuan dodged again, and this time his Tang sword slashed hard at the bull's foreleg. However, he did not expect the bull's bones to be so hard. Although a five-centimeter-deep wound appeared, he was unable to sever the bull's foreleg. Instead, his sword developed a small nick.
"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan cursed, feeling a little distressed.
The bull didn't give him a chance, looking like it wouldn't stop until it had headbutted him to death.
Jiang Yuan also learned his lesson and began slashing into the bull's belly one cut at a time. Soon, the bull was about to bleed to death.
"It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that one of us has to die!" Jiang Yuan prepared to deliver the final, fatal blow to the bull.
"Moo!"
At this moment, the bull roared to the sky. It stopped charging at Jiang Yuan and turned its head to charge at Ning Yanlan and Xu Lian like a madman.
