Shen Shuyi asked, "If it were you, how long would it take to deal with this mutant python?"
"One minute?" Huo Chi responded.
Shen Shuyi smacked his lips, “Then it was solved with one move, have you upgraded again?”
"Yeah." Huo Chi helped her stand up and let go of her hand.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, worthy of being a big shot, upgrading is as easy as eating.
She took out the map, compared the directions, and confirmed with the system that she was going in the correct direction.
"Brother Chi, we'll reach the armory in half a day."
"If everything goes well, we should be there." Huo Chi suddenly gestured to her to be quiet.
"Shuyi, there are sounds of mutant beasts fighting ahead. Do you want to harvest their crystal cores?"
Chen Shuyi glanced at the dense forest and asked, "How do you launch a sneak attack?"
"I'll take you flying over there." Huo Chi suggested.
Shen Shuyi immediately walked over, put his hand on Huo Chi's arm, his eyes excited, "Let's go!"
Huo Chi put his arm around her waist with one hand, and was carried flying the next moment.
The feeling of weightlessness made people feel uneasy, and Shen Shuyi subconsciously hugged his arms tightly, even pressing her face against his chest.
Huo Chi smelled the sweet fragrance in his arms, and he froze and flew the person to the tall branch of an ancient tree, "Sit down."
"Oh." Shen Shuyi sat directly into his arms.
Huo Chi: “…”
Shen Shuyi's attention had been attracted by the fight between mutant beasts not far away. She didn't care what Huo Chi thought. She just wanted to dig out the mutant beast's crystal core to upgrade and become stronger.
It was a life-and-death battle between a mutant brown bear and a demon, and the whole world was shaken.
Shen Shuyi was frightened by what he saw.
Fortunately, they have been fighting for quite some time and both sides are suffering losses.
"Want to take action?" Huo Chi suddenly asked.
The two were very close to each other. Shen Shuyi heard Huo Chi's voice coming from her ear. His voice was low and there seemed to be hot breath spraying on her earlobe, which made her heart itch.
Shen Shuyi's heartbeat quickened, and he stepped forward slightly, his eyes focused on the two giant beasts, "They are both at level three, I can't handle them alone."
"You pick one."
Shen Shuyi understood, “Just the brown bear.”
The brown bear's eye was injured by the tiger, so it should be easier to deal with.
"Get ready, I'll take you directly there." Huo Chi grabbed her waist with one hand.
As soon as Shen Shuyi nodded, Huo Chi set off. Fortunately, she was very familiar with the use of supernatural powers.
The mutable brown bear was huge in size, and the combined attack of water and spirit still took quite some time to fight.
And Huo Chi did as he said, in just one minute, in fact less than a minute, he killed the mutant tiger with just one move.
As the fight went on, Shen Shuyi felt something was not right. She discovered that the dying brown bear was actually upgrading!
With the final blow, the mental strength in her mind was instantly exhausted, and her body became heavier than ever before.
Before her eyes could go dark, she saw Huo Chi flying over and catching her.
When she recovered and opened her eyes, she saw Huo Chi's handsome and cool face, but he was frowning slightly, and only relaxed his brows when he saw her wake up.
"How do you feel?" Huo Chi wanted to help the person in his arms sit up.
Shen Shuyi realized that she was in Huo Chi's arms and quickly stood up.
In a panic, he hit Huo Chi's forehead with a "bang" and fell down again.
Huo Chi held the man tightly in his arms and said in a low voice, "Hiss, don't move."
The girl in his arms groaned, and he lowered his head to look.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Shuyi's beautiful eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, her nose wrinkled, and she murmured coquettishly, "It hurts."
Huo Chi's eyes fell on her small, red nose, "Sorry."
"Did you hit your nose?"
His hand subconsciously touched the tip of Shen Shuyi's nose lightly.
The girl's warm breath brought him back to his senses. Huo Chi retracted his hand, but his heart felt a little itchy.
"Woo..." Shen Shuyi responded and tried to stand up, but he was so weak that he fell down again in an instant.
Huo Chi leaned over and hugged her, but unfortunately her cheek hit his lips.
Someone's heart was beating so fast that even his breathing became extremely fast.
Shen Shuyi blushed and buried her face in Huo Chi's chest.
Unfortunately, I heard his beating heartbeat.
But the next moment the man carried her to the top of the tree and sat her down. "Have you recovered your powers?"
Shen Shuyi sensed it, “It may take some time for the mental power to be exhausted. I didn’t expect that the mutant bear would upgrade at the moment of death. I was almost bitten to death by it.”
At this moment, it began to rain. The rain after the apocalypse was extremely corrosive, and even those with special powers would have their skin burned.
"Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first." Huo Chi took out a special umbrella he brought from the base from his backpack, which could withstand several hours of acid rain.
Shen Shuyi looked up at Huo Chi who was holding an umbrella over her head.
"Brother Chi, my legs are numb."
Huo Chi walked up to her and squatted, "Come up."
"Thank you, Brother Chi." Shen Shuyi took the umbrella and lay on his back.
"Will I be very heavy?"
"No." Huo Chi was 1.9 meters tall and a former special forces soldier, so it was easy for him to carry a little girl on his back.
When she leaned over, Huo Chi felt her exquisite figure for the first time, as well as the faint fragrance emanating from the arm across his neck.
The rapid sound of rain made Huo Chi regain some calm. He took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
