206: What if the microwave explodes?

Ah Hu's eyes widened. Although it didn't know what the pill the Mystic Horned Beast had eaten was for, it still keenly sensed a hint of danger and subconsciously retreated half a step.

It was this half-step retreat that saved it from a serious injury.

"Chirp!"

After swallowing the pill, the Mystic Horned Beast instantly broke through a minor realm, and Wang Yi also advanced from a minor to a major Level Four Beast Tamer because of this.

After the breakthrough, the Mystic Horned Beast's injuries were not as severe, and it could unleash more powerful killing moves. If Ah Hu hadn't dodged in time, it would have been seriously injured by this attack.

Seeing this, Gu Mingzhu's eyes lit up. She immediately took out the New Upgrade Martial Pill she had bought from the green train and swallowed it.

Don't underestimate the two Qi Vortexes this pill can add!

At the beginning, the difference in Qi Vortexes between martial artist levels wasn't significant. For example, there was only one Qi Vortex difference between Level 1 and Level 2, and two Qi Vortexes between Level 2 and Level 3.

However, once a martial artist's level became higher, such as from Level 4 to Level 5, or Level 5 to Level 6... the difference in Qi Vortexes would be much greater!

So, for Gu Mingzhu, who was already a Level 5 Martial Artist, every additional Qi Vortex in her body significantly increased her strength.

"Quick!" Wang Yi knew that he couldn't be careless at this moment, so he quickly shouted at Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi, who were getting closer to the spirit herb.

Feng Zhi was very flustered, but with Ge Yunying, a calm person, leading him, it wasn't too bad: "Sister Yunying, I'll cover you, hurry and pick the spirit herb!"

Although Ah Hu was currently at a disadvantage, who knew if it still had the ability to counterattack, so someone had to stand in front.

At this moment, Ge Yunying's eyes were fixed only on that spirit herb; nothing else could attract her attention.

She seized the opportunity, leaped up, grabbed the spirit herb, and ran!

"Got it!" As she ran, she didn't forget to shout, so her teammates knew to finish the fight quickly.

"Good!" Wang Yi's face broke into a hearty smile. No matter what, they had finally gotten the spirit herb!

The first thing Ge Yunying did after getting the spirit herb was to get away from the battlefield, pulling Feng Zhi along with her.

Ah Hu was a Level 5 fierce beast. As long as the two of them ran far enough that Ah Hu couldn't hit them, it was equivalent to helping Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu.

Seeing the spirit herb snatched away, Ah Hu was furious, but the Mystic Horned Beast and Gu Mingzhu blocked its path, preventing it from breaking through.

It could only roar at Ge Yunying, who had already run far away: "Roar!!!"

"We need to finish this quickly," Gu Mingzhu said, exchanging glances with Wang Yi.

"Okay, watch for the right moment to retreat. At worst, we'll give up the beast crystal." Wang Yi made a quick decision; things that needed to be abandoned had to be abandoned, as nothing was more important than their own lives.

"Mhm!" Gu Mingzhu nodded. The Level 5 fierce beast was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

Ah Hu was actually at the end of its rope. It had burst out a few times, and although it had seriously injured the Mystic Horned Beast, the Mystic Horned Beast quickly recovered after eating the pill, and Gu Mingzhu's combat power also increased. If this continued, the situation would be very unfavorable for it.

Moreover, the spirit herb had already been snatched away, so Ah Hu had even less desire to continue, and thus it looked for an opportunity to escape.

It was a cloud-piercing tiger that valued its life!

Its period of youthful recklessness had passed. Now, if it encountered a green train again, it would absolutely not be so stubborn as to insist on confronting it.

And ever since entering Level 5, Ah Hu considered itself different from the fierce beasts below Level 4 in the Outer Circle; its brain had become smarter.

Facing such a situation, fighting head-on was too much trouble, and there was even a possibility of both sides suffering heavy losses.

The clever it would never do such a thing!

So, very quickly, Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu felt Ah Hu's strong desire to escape.

Gu Mingzhu: ?

The fierce beast habits her teacher had told her about didn't seem to be like this.

Her teacher said that wild fierce beasts in the forest were very disgusted with humans, especially some races; once they encountered humans, it would be a fight to the death.

But this cloud-piercing tiger in front of them... Gu Mingzhu looked up at Wang Yi, and Wang Yi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

To be honest, he had been in the forest for so long, and besides most fierce beasts being deterred by the green train and staying away from humans, whenever a real fight broke out, those fierce beasts would always give their all.

This was the first time he had seen a fierce beast he was fighting show signs of wanting to escape.

In response, Ah Hu said: 'As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!'

Wang Yi glanced at Gu Mingzhu, meaning since it wanted to escape, let it escape. If they continued to fight, even if they could kill Ah Hu in the end, some of their life-saving trump cards would definitely be wasted.

Gu Mingzhu thought the same, so the two cooperated tacitly and let Ah Hu go.

And Ah Hu, after getting away from the battlefield, still thought it was too powerful, and those two humans couldn't defeat it, which was why it was able to escape.

One could only say this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Is the spirit herb safely put away?"

Wang Yi recalled the Mystic Horned Beast and returned to the team with Gu Mingzhu, asking Ge Yunying when he saw her.

"Mhm, look, perfectly preserved." Ge Yunying carefully took the spirit herb out of her storage bag. She even used a special container for the spirit herb, which looked like a transparent glass bottle, allowing them to see the spirit herb faintly glowing inside.

"Good, put it away. Let's go to the guild now to submit the mission and collect the reward," Wang Yi said.

"Mhm."

...Inner Circle of the forest.

[Destination reached, passengers please disembark.]

The riding time for Xiao Shen and the two others had ended. The ordinary carriage only allowed a maximum of fifteen minutes.

No matter how fast they absorbed spiritual energy, they ultimately couldn't outpace time.

"Quick, let's go see what that microwave oven is for." Liu Ling'er had been thinking about this just now, and finally, when the riding time ended, she pulled Xiao Shen to go look.

"There's only one button on it, but its function isn't labeled. How strange."

Zheng Jinfeng also walked over. She was also very interested in this strange microwave oven. She understood that anything produced by the green train must be a quality product.

She had seen microwave ovens in the guild, but they didn't look like this. They were small ones, taking up only a fraction of space on a table, and short, used for heating food.

But the microwave oven on the green train... didn't look like it was for heating food at all.

"How about we throw something in and try?" Xiao Shen thought for a moment; there was no other way, so this was the only option.

"Huh? Just throw something in?" Liu Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, "What if we blow up this device? Won't the green train make us pay for it?"

Lin Feng: "..."

That's completely unnecessary.

If the equipment provided by the system could be damaged so easily, then Lin Feng felt the system could just explode on the spot.
