The next two then proceeded to dominate the Iron Birch Forest, beating everything from the giant shovel beetle and the longhorn beetle to the weevils—basically, any creature with a shell.
I don't know if it's because of the iron birch forest, but almost all the insects here are beetles.
"Ugh, I'm so tired! Can we call it a day?" Ning Yanlan looked at Jiang Yuan with a pitiful expression.
Jiang Yuan felt embarrassed by the stare; the pitiful look in those eyes made him feel like he was abusing child laborers.
"Ahem, you have to practice psionic energy. Only by constantly consuming and replenishing it can you break through your limits!" Jiang Yuan said seriously.
"Ah! We have to fight again!" Ning Yanlan was getting a little frantic. It had been an hour without a break, and her spiritual energy had been drained five times.
She really wanted to curse, "Jiang Yuan, you're inhuman! You make me do it five times in an hour!"
However, this was just wishful thinking. She understood that breaking through the limit would indeed increase her spiritual energy ceiling. Her spiritual energy was already at level twenty-one, and Jiang Yuan was doing it for her own good.
Jiang Yuan looked around, then said strangely, "But it seems like all the monsters are gone today. How about we come back tomorrow?"
"Go to hell!" Ning Yanlan threw a punch.
However, due to her depleted psionic energy, her punch was weak and ineffective, while Jiang Yuan cleaned up the mess the whole time, a typical example of someone who talks without understanding the consequences.
Therefore, this punch turned into an invitation to embrace.
"What, do you want me to carry you back?" Jiang Yuan grabbed Ning Yanlan's wrist with one hand and hugged her waist with the other.
Ning Yanlan was just about to flirt with this guy when her expression changed drastically the moment she looked up.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Yuan thought Ning Yanlan was feeling unwell because she had overdrawn her spiritual energy!
"run!"
Ning Yanlan didn't know where the strength came from, but she turned around, grabbed Jiang Yuan, and ran out of the woods.
Caught off guard, Jiang Yuan was actually dragged along by Ning Yanlan for several steps. In the blink of an eye, his expression turned to shock.
"Fuck, what the hell is this thing?"
A giant, flat shovel, as tall as a three-story building, burst from the ground, uprooting large swathes of ironwood trees. Its target was him and Ning Yanlan.
"Giant Shovel, Tier 6 Lord Monster, Strength: 120, Talent: Mighty Strength, Activating Mighty Strength instantly increases Strength by 300."
The information from the Heavenly Eye left Jiang Yuan completely dumbfounded. This monster's strength seemed simple, but what was that talent? The additional strength value reached 300. With your strength of over 400, you could even shoot down a plane with a giant rock.
"The Veil of Falling Snow!"
Ning Yanlan kept throwing skills at the feet of the giant shovel, hoping to slow it down with ice.
Although the giant shovel was incredibly powerful, it moved extremely slowly, and with the large number of ironwood trees blocking its way, it couldn't catch up for a while.
"I'll carry you!" Jiang Yuan scooped Ning Yanlan up in his arms and strode quickly through the forest.
We have to be fast! If this sixth-tier lord monster catches up with us, we're both completely finished. The saying "together in life and death" will immediately be proven true.
"Jiang Yuan, wasn't it exciting!" Ning Yanlan teased Jiang Yuan while being held in her arms.
"We're running for our lives, what's so exciting about this!" Jiang Yuan was speechless and could only run wildly toward the car outside the forest.
"Don't we look like we've been caught having an affair and then eloped together?" Ning Yanlan said with a silly laugh.
Jiang Yuan remained silent after hearing this. At this moment, only Ning Yanlan was still in the mood to joke.
With a deafening roar, the mighty Vajra shovel, incredibly powerful, sent the soil flying dozens of meters high, and dozens of ironwood trees were caught in its grip and thrown towards the two men.
Jiang Yuan activated his combat state, his heart pounding at its peak, and at that moment, his Spirit Awakening progress increased by one, a rare occurrence.
"Is this Spirit Awakening progress forcing me to walk on the edge of a knife?" Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly. This Spirit Awakening progress was too shameless; it was trying to kill him!
"Man, you're so handsome!" Ning Yanlan snuggled into his arms and said coquettishly, without considering that they were on the run for their lives.
Jiang Yuan didn't dare to pay attention; flirting at this time would be irresponsible towards his life.
Finally, Jiang Yuan ran all the way to the car. He opened the door and put Ning Yanlan inside. He said seriously, "I don't want to elope with you. If we're going to leave, we'll do it openly and honestly!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan got into the car himself.
Ning Yanlan then started the car and sped away.
...
"Mom, aren't Brother Jiang Yuan and Sister Yan Lan coming back to stay?"
Inside a small room on the second floor, a little girl was resting her chin on her hand, asking a worried question.
"My older brother and sister have their own things to do, so they don't have much time to stay at our house!" Li Xiang explained gently.
"But my older brother and sister said they would teach me how to fight monsters!" Xiao Xin said sullenly, puffing out her cheeks.
"Xiao Xin, if Mommy sent you to another place where you can fight monsters, would you be willing?"
Li Xiang left the kitchen counter, dried her hands on her apron, and half-squatted down to ask Xiao Xin.
"Mom, I don't want to go anywhere else. Those uncles were so scary this morning!" Xiao Xin said, feeling wronged.
The discipline of soldiers was too solemn and serious for a little girl, and in Xiao Xin's eyes it was frightening, which was one of the reasons why Xiao Xin dared not go to the warlord.
"Xiao Xin, your father is gone. If there are bad people around, your mother won't be able to protect you!" Li Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. She wiped them away and forced a smile, saying, "Only there can you grow up strong and healthy."
"Mom, can you come with me?" Xiao Xin asked softly, as if she had made a big decision.
"Although Mom can't be with you, Mom can visit you often!" Li Xiang changed her words, hoping to persuade Xiao Xin.
