Wang Lina stood five meters away from Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan. During the brief period of peace on the Third Street, she rescued batches of civilians following Ning Yanlan's instructions.
"It's gone now!" Ning Yanlan said only after searching carefully once more.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bai!" Wang Lina bowed respectfully to Ning Yanlan.
"Lina, why did you come to Ximen to do such a dangerous thing?" Ning Yanlan had always been curious about why Wang Lina would persistently choose to save people, even though she herself was only at the third level of strength, which was very dangerous for her to walk outside with.
"Save them!" Wang Lina answered without hesitation, giving a very direct answer.
Ning Yanlan nodded, then asked, "Then why did you save them? Aren't you afraid you'll die here?"
"I'm scared, of course I'm scared!" Wang Lina said, slightly reserved, but her face genuinely showed a mixture of fear and hesitation. "But being scared doesn't mean I can't go and save people!"
"That's an interesting idea!" Jiang Yuan's condition had improved considerably, and his tone of voice had become normal.
"Moreover, the purpose of our mutual aid association is to help each other. If we don't save people, who will save us when we encounter danger in the future!" Wang Lina said, glancing at Jiang Yuan. "So, I also want to thank the Apostle. If it weren't for you, I might already be dead!"
"I've told you, just forget about those things!" Jiang Yuan didn't want Wang Lina to keep bringing up those matters, because both the Heavenly Soul Child and the God-Slaying Spear were things that were particularly easy to expose.
“Yes!” Wang Lina nodded solemnly.
"Actually, with your strength, it's best not to go any deeper. Otherwise, I won't expect you to save anyone later; it would be good enough if you didn't have to be saved!" Jiang Yuan said bluntly beforehand. He didn't want to dampen Wang Lina's enthusiasm for saving people, but he also didn't want to see her die in vain.
Without the protection of a powerful figure, continuing to venture deeper into the West Gate area in the dark would only lead to a desperate situation, which is clearly beyond the capabilities of a third-tier Spirit Awakener.
"Where are the Apostle and Lord Bai planning to go?" Wang Lina asked curiously.
"Let's go deeper!" Jiang Yuan's eyes were firm. "If we can't move in the dark, we'll wait until dawn. Let's save as many people as we can!"
They are not superheroes; if night falls, they will also face the predicament of being unable to see, and going out at that time would be tantamount to suicide.
"May I follow you two?" Wang Lina asked tentatively.
Ning Yanlan didn't answer whether she could or not, but just glanced at Jiang Yuan, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"cannot!"
However, Jiang Yuan's answer was resolute. He continued, "Our next mission is not suitable to involve you!"
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of dying! I just want to save as many people as possible!" Wang Lina thought Jiang Yuan was worried about her safety, which was why he didn't take her with him.
"No, we can't carry a burden!" Jiang Yuan said bluntly, but it was the truth. The strength of a third-tier cultivator would be of little help in the battle, and starting from the fourth street, there were no longer just a few hundred or a thousand monsters, but tens of thousands. Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand? Nobody could say for sure.
"Can I join your oath?" After hesitating for a long time, Wang Lina finally asked weakly what she was thinking.
"Join us?" Jiang Yuan was surprised himself; this was the first outsider to say they wanted to join the oath.
“Yes, although I’m not good at fighting, I can ensure your logistics and take care of your food and daily needs!” Wang Lina nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Yuan, who was wearing a mask, didn't move at all, but said seriously, "No!"
"Really not okay?" Wang Lina didn't expect the other party to refuse so decisively, without any room for negotiation.
"You have a fearless heart and a benevolent heart, but that's far from enough. This world isn't changed by those things; it also needs the heart of a strong person!" Jiang Yuan's unintentional meaning was that she was too weak. He spoke so bluntly because he wanted this girl to give up.
"Lina, you should go back to your companions. It's too dangerous for you to stay with us!" Ning Yanlan also advised.
"If I become stronger, will the oath accept me?" Wang Lina finally asked after hesitating for a long time.
“Of course!” Jiang Yuan’s bizarre laughter came from under the mask.
Wang Lina nodded, then thanked them and said, "My lords, I'll be going now. Please make sure you are safe!"
After saying that, Wang Lina ran back to her team in a flash.
"This girl has good qualities, but her awareness and talent are too poor!" Jiang Yuan said, expressing his opinion.
There are two types of combat awareness: one is innate, and the other is cultivated. It's not that a cultivated warrior can't defeat an innate warrior, but under the same experience, an innate warrior will definitely crush a cultivated warrior. That's for sure.
Wang Lina lacks any fighting spirit, and her development can only be achieved through gradual training, which is the first limitation.
Another factor is her talent. Her energy is of a single type and has ordinary attributes. Coupled with the lack of talent enhancement, she belongs to the most ordinary group of Spirit Awakeners. If she were to join the Oath, she would obviously be somewhat inferior.
"The person is gone. This girl may have just mentioned it casually. Don't take it too seriously!" Ning Yanlan thought Jiang Yuan was still upset because he had rejected Wang Lina.
"Let's go, find a place to rest, and recharge the Demon Pearl while we're at it!" Jiang Yuan got up and slowly walked forward through the darkness.
...
"Did you see that god of death?"
"What kind of killing god?"
"You don't know this? I heard another powerful Oath-bound warrior has appeared! A guy wearing a clown mask who calls himself Red is slaughtering monsters like crazy. I heard he's killed thousands of monsters in just one hour since night fell. What else could that be but a god of death!"
"Oath? Could it be the team that killed the ninth-tier Grey-faced Vulture last night?!"
"Indeed! I wonder what this oath is trying to achieve by appearing out of nowhere, causing such a commotion in just one day!"
"Sigh, we little people shouldn't worry about it. Anyway, the major changes in the power structure of Nancheng have nothing to do with us. We just need to survive safely!"
At the end of the fourth street, Leng Yue stood quietly. A black pattern appeared on her arm, which was shrouded in a concealment robe. This was the unique mark of the Night Hunter.
"I need another 7,000 heads to upgrade my Night Hunter ability rating to C-level!" Leng Yue looked down at the lines on her arm. Once the ability rating reaches C-level, not only will the Night Child's abilities be enhanced, but the Night Hunter's daytime weakness will also be significantly reduced.
"If those two don't come out, they're probably enjoying some intimate moments!"
With the blessing of the Night Child state, Leng Yue's speech carried an indescribable quality, and her desire for control in the darkness grew stronger and stronger, even beginning to affect her true nature.
"It's only been an hour, so don't blame me for interrupting your good time!" Leng Yue obtained Jiang Yuan and the other person's location through the communication stone, and then quickly headed there.
