"What's wrong? Are you still angry with me?" Yu Tu caught up with Jiang Yuan, who was silent, and asked in a coquettish tone.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly.
“I know you promised to let him go, but he’s not a good person!” Yu Tu explained. “You don’t know, he used to bully me at first, if it weren’t for me…”
"I already said I'm not angry, why do you insist that I am angry?!" Jiang Yuan completely broke down. Yu Tu had asked him no less than ten times along the way if he was angry. At first, he could explain nicely, but later he simply became too lazy to explain.
"Men are all hypocrites. They say they're not angry, but they might actually be petty!" Yu Tu poked her two index fingers together.
"I am me, and you are you. I said I wouldn't kill him, not that you wouldn't kill him. Why should I be angry?" Jiang Yuan practically had the words "I'm not angry" written all over his forehead.
"Then smile! You've had a long face the whole way. I thought I'd upset you!" Yu Tu muttered under her breath, pouting.
"Big sister, we're running for our lives! Look at the thousands of strange beasts chasing us, and the backlash from my Five Elements Ring hasn't even ended yet. How can you expect me to laugh!" Jiang Yuan was already numb.
"See? I knew you were angry with me!" Yu Tu said confidently.
"laugh!"
Jiang Yuan could only force a smile that looked more like a grimace, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Barely acceptable!" Yu Tu finally gave up the argument.
After joking, Jiang Yuan stared intently behind him and said gravely, "We're surrounded. We have to find a way to break out!"
"Sigh, since we left the Fire Tower, we've been surrounded by monsters and mercenary squads six times, and that's only been for a morning!" Yu Tu said with a worried expression.
"The Flame of Life resides within me. A short period of dissipation of my lifespan would be enough to attract strange beasts within a hundred miles. Discovery is inevitable!" Jiang Yuan frowned.
The Flame of Life is incredibly resilient; even after being swallowed by the fortune of the Nine Provinces, it still retains a large amount of lifespan for a final stand.
However, the continuous troubles also brought huge benefits. Putting aside the countless years of lifespan he had taken from the Flame of Life, the inheritance of the Divine Medicine Master was priceless.
He is now a divine medicine master, but the backlash from the Five Elements Ring has taken away all his divine power, making it impossible for him to see the specific details about divine medicine masters.
"Don't overthink it, I didn't mean to blame you!" Yu Tu thought Jiang Yuan was blaming himself when he saw him silent.
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "I was thinking about the reaction of the Palace Spirit. It could have prevented me from obtaining the Flame of Life at the end, so why didn't it attack me?"
"The spirit of the palace?" Yu Tu pondered for a moment, then guessed, "Could it be because it can't leave the ruins of the palace?"
"I've mastered the Water and Fire elements in this Five Elements Possession. As long as I don't touch the other three elements, I won't be completely passive!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
If all five elements were under the control of the War Lord, he would be far from at peace. After all, his Water Element test was still part of the War Lord's plan. If he obediently completed the Water Element test, the probability of him falling into the trap would be terrifyingly high.
"Why do you always seem so absent-minded? Did you hurt your head?" Yu Tu reached out to touch Jiang Yuan's forehead.
"fine!"
Jiang Yuan turned his head away from the lustful rabbit's movements. He was currently in a state of depleted divine energy, so he tried to avoid contact with the lustful rabbit as much as possible.
Then, Jiang Yuan said coldly, "This time, we will not break through!"
"Then what should we do?"
Jiang Yuan pointed ahead and said, "Don't the strange beasts like the Flame of Life? Then let's grant their wish!"
...
"Boss, should we retreat first?"
"That's right, the monsters here are rampaging too violently. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed!"
"It's not just the strange beasts. I also saw the Qing Shuang team, one of the top ten teams in Haicheng, hunting strange beasts on the outskirts. Those kinds of creatures are beyond the capabilities of our team!"
"Quiet!" The cold-looking young man with his hair tied up raised his hand, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the hilt of his sword. After a while, he said, "As you all know, our academy is currently facing a predicament. If we don't have enough Holy Spirit Stones, thirteen thousand students will be displaced! Therefore, even if we cannot complete the mission and collect the bounty, we still need to kill a large number of alien beasts to sell the Holy Spirit Stones!"
"But those beasts are too powerful. Each one is at the eighth or ninth rank, and it's not uncommon for them to be above the ninth rank!"
The cold-faced young man raised an eyebrow. It was an undeniable fact that although they had entered this place, their strength was not strong. Among the team, only he, as the captain, possessed the strength of the ninth rank. Facing hordes of strange beasts, let alone killing them, even self-preservation would be a problem.
"Luo Nan, a troop is approaching!"
Suddenly, the hook-nosed youth who had been silent in the group turned to one side.
"Prepare for battle!" The cold-faced young man drew his sword and then asked, "Can you ascertain where they came from?"
"They didn't have any obvious markings, so we don't know which squad they belong to! But there were only two of them, a man and a woman," the hook-nosed youth said.
"Two people!" The cold-faced young man slowly withdrew his sword a foot, muttering to himself, "Could they be the ones whose group was separated by the strange beast?"
"They're coming!"
The hook-nosed youth drew his weapon, and the entire team stood ready. Two people slowly came into view.
"Halt! This is the territory of Fujiang Academy. If you dare to approach again, you will be attacked!" someone in the group shouted.
The man and woman, who were about 100 meters away, indeed stopped approaching.
"Is it them?" The girl turned to the boy for his opinion. The two were none other than Jiang Yuan and Yu Tu.
