71: Defeating the regional boss, a humanoid beast, Luo Xi called him a pervert

After waking up in a daze, Luo Xi...

Her first reaction was confusion.

"Hmm?"

"I'm not dead?"

Her second reaction was astonishment.

"What the hell is this place?"

Her third reaction was pleasant surprise.

"I leveled up? And I skipped up so many levels at once? My mental Domain has also fully recovered. What on earth is going on?!"

Looking at her attribute panel in disbelief, she pinched her pink, tender cheek, suspecting she was dreaming.

"It hurts... This isn't a dream."

"Could it be that he saved me?"

Luo Xi muttered to herself, recalling that retreating figure in her hazy memory as her eyes flickered slightly.

" "

Taking another look.

She found that she had been removed from the team.

"Discarded after use, what a heartless man."

Luo Xi curled her lips.

"Where did he run off to by himself? Could he have already been eliminated?"

Luo Xi turned her head to look around, searching for Jiang Yuan's whereabouts.

Her current location was on a huge leaf, surrounded by a sea of clouds formed by green foliage. The position should be at an extremely high altitude.

"Bang!"

A loud crash came from the distance, startling her and making her hurriedly raise her head to look.

A five-meter-tall humanoid giant ant, entirely golden as if cast from gold and possessing antennae, was smashed out by some massive force, heavily embedding itself into a huge tree trunk.

It smashed a hundred-meter-diameter sunken pit covered in cracks into the tree trunk.

Seeing the tag above the humanoid golden ant's head.

Luo Xi was stunned for a moment.

[Lost Giant Wood Map Boss]

[Golden Ant-Man, LV28]

"It, it's actually a Tier 3 boss monster!"

Luo Xi was somewhat shocked, while also feeling extremely confused,

"Isn't the boss the strongest existence in the hidden map? How could it still be knocked flying? Looking at its health bar, it seems less than half is left. Who on earth..."

"Click, click."

The Golden Ant-Man pulled its arms out from the pit in the tree trunk and raised its head.

"Swish!"

A golden beam shot out from its antennae, heading towards somewhere.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion detonated above Luo Xi, forcing her to deploy a mental barrier to block the hot wind of the explosion.

The Golden Ant-Man's bent legs heavily kicked against the tree trunk, and its figure shot out explosively.

A streak of red light also rushed out from the dust of the explosion.

Two rays of light, one golden and one red, collided in mid-air!

"Bang——!"

With another incomparably dull collision sound, two terrifying pressures collided and exploded, air waves surging, and shockwaves spreading like ripples!

"Whoosh——!"

The golden figure flew back upside down at an even faster speed, smashing into the tree trunk once more, making the original pit deeper and larger!

The red light also chased after it and rushed into the tree hole, launching continuous attacks against the Golden Ant-Man.

"Boom, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!"

The huge collision sounds of fists hitting flesh rang out continuously, and the thousand-meter-diameter tree trunk was trembling slightly.

Just watching it made Luo Xi feel her heart race with fear.

"What kind of Vicious Beast is this? It's simply too terrifying."

"Is it trying to bore through this giant wood?"

It didn't bore through; it only hit the core of the tree before the commotion stopped.

As the smoke dispersed.

Luo Xi hurriedly used the Illusionist skill to create an illusion to conceal her figure, while restraining her aura, quietly hiding to the side to observe secretly.

She definitely didn't want to be targeted by this kind of monster.

Although she had already advanced to a Tier 2 transitioned Martial Artist, with her frail little body, a single punch would probably beat her into minced meat.

Within her field of vision.

A humanoid figure appeared at the edge of the huge opening, holding the charred and shattered massive body of the Golden Ant-Man in his hand.

With a single leap.

The humanoid Vicious Beast brought the lifeless Golden Ant-Man and landed on the leaf where Luo Xi was, scaring her half to death.

But immediately after.

A familiar voice came from over there.

"What are you doing hiding over there?"

Luo Xi was stunned. Looking closely, the dust swirling around the humanoid Vicious Beast dissipated, revealing an attire of black clothes and black pants.

Looking at the youth's familiar black hair and golden eyes, Luo Xi widened her eyes.

"Y-Y-Y-You..."

"That humanoid Vicious Beast was you?!!!!!"

"What humanoid Vicious Beast? Did you sleep until you got dazed or did you get amnesia?"

Jiang Yuan couldn't be bothered to care about her, sitting down and hugging the roasted ant leg to start gnawing on it, while checking the harvest from killing the Tier 3 area boss.

Aside from experience, points, and a few mid-tier life crystals.

There was also a Strength Fruit that could permanently increase strength by 10 points.

Two pieces of rare, high-tier equipment that required LV30 to equip.

A skill book named [Ants Giant Strength], with learning conditions requiring a strength value of 2000. After using the skill, speed is reduced by 90%, strength is amplified by 300%, and the drawback is a long cooldown time.

Jiang Yuan didn't dawdle and learned it directly.

The remainder was a super rare Materials named [Secret Gold], which could be used to craft equipment.

"How did you do that?!"

"You're Tier 3?!"

"How did we escape from the ruins? Did you save me?"

"How did I level up by so many levels?"

After Luo Xi snapped out of her shock, she kept questioning Jiang Yuan by his side.

He was already annoyed about having his experience snatched, let alone having to endure harassment.

Finding her unbearably annoying, Jiang Yuan grabbed a piece of ant meat and shoved it into her mouth.

"Shut up!"

...

After learning the truth that Jiang Yuan had slaughtered that ruin boss and shared half the experience, allowing her to level up so many levels consecutively.

Luo Xi was completely dumbfounded, her brain crashing for a full seven or eight seconds.

"You mean you... slaughtered that suspected Tier 4 ruin boss?"

"Mmh."

"You're only Tier 2 right now?"

"Mmh."

"..."

Luo Xi fell silent, looking at Jiang Yuan with a gaze as if looking at a monster.

Jiang Yuan ate his roasted meat without speaking.

Two minutes later.

Luo Xi's thin lips moved slightly, spitting out two words.

"Pervert..."

Jiang Yuan was immediately displeased on the spot,

"Who are you talking about?"

Luo Xi retorted, "It's true! Being Tier 2 and single-handedly taking down Tier 4, what is this if not a pervert?! I've never even heard of it; even SSS-grade Awakeners can't do it. We're all peers, how on earth can you be as strong as if you're cheating? How is anyone supposed to compare to you?!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I haven't even settled accounts with you for giving you half my experience. Coupled with saving your life, when you go back, you have to give me at least 500 million."

Hearing this, Luo Xi blinked,

"Just... 500 million?"

"...Yeah. What's wrong?"

"500 million it is then. It's a deal, you're not allowed to go back on your word," Luo Xi blurted out eagerly.

Seeing the cunning expression between her brows, Jiang Yuan immediately realized.

Damn it, I asked for too little.

Damned rich people.
