Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

A few seconds later, Jiang Lan made a decision.

The second.

He didn't want to steal the quest items that others had worked so hard to obtain.

While bullying the weak might get you the quest items faster, Jiang Lan felt that doing so would be far too morally reprehensible.

Although he didn't consider himself a good person, he was definitely not a bad one either.

Jiang Lan has no interest in causing trouble for others unless someone provokes him.

Just like before, when we were by the Demon Moon Lake.

At that time, although he was only at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, he was confident that if he really clashed with that young master's group, he could wipe them out completely and escape unscathed.

But he didn't choose to cause trouble; instead, he spoke to the other party politely for a few minutes.

"Babata, can you find a place nearby where I can get Windstone, somewhere that's relatively unaffected by the hurricane?"

"No problem," Babata's voice rang out. "Leave it to me."

Jiang Lan stood still, waiting silently.

Babata has a scanning system on his body.

Although Jiang Lan didn't know the exact size of the area, it should cover at least a hundred kilometers without any problem.

A few seconds later, Babata's voice rang in his mind again.

"Found it!"

"Where?" Jiang Lan asked.

"It's about 70 kilometers from your 11 o'clock position. But to get there, you'd have to cross a 30-kilometer hurricane belt. If you're fast enough, you should be able to get through."

Jiang Lan thought for a moment.

His current speed is around 400 kilometers per second.

In this world of the master, it can only exert less than one percent of its speed, which is four kilometers per second.

Of course, this is the fastest speed he can reach in the Thunder World. If he can achieve half of this speed while traveling normally, that would already be considered pretty good.

Forty kilometers, in just over ten seconds.

Fortunately.

With the defense of the Cloud Vine and his own strength, he should be able to withstand the hurricane for more than ten seconds without any problem.

Just do it!

With a determined look in his eyes, Jiang Lan followed the direction Babata pointed and rushed towards his destination like an arrow.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Lan had already flown more than ten kilometers.

Before him, the wind howled incessantly, carrying with it a heavy mass of rubble, as if divine punishment had descended.

But Jiang Lan was not afraid at all.

"Moyun Vine!"

He let out a low growl, and blood-red vines instantly sprouted from all parts of his body, wrapping Jiang Lan's entire body in a blood-red armor in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, Jiang Lan suddenly rushed into the hurricane.

"call--"

The immense force caused him to pause, and he seemed about to be blown away.

Jiang Lan clenched her teeth and forced herself to steady herself.

The hurricane was so fierce that even with the protection of the Cloud-Piercing Armor, Jiang Lan still felt as if his entire body was about to be blown apart.

At this rate, he could only stay in the hurricane for a maximum of twenty seconds.

Twenty seconds later, he will probably not escape death either.

"Move!"

Jiang Lan exerted all his strength, his body enveloped in bluish-purple lightning.

Amid the howling wind, the crackling of lightning suddenly filled the air.

If other contestants who came to participate in the assessment saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

The terrifying wind force would likely kill even a ninth-level Hengxing cultivator instantly.

Jiang Lan was still able to fly despite the fierce hurricane.

Moreover, even when hit head-on by the eye of the gale, it can regain its stability.

Jiang Lan unleashed her full power, suddenly accelerating.

In an instant, he broke free from the eye of the storm and flew toward his original destination.

Ten seconds later.

Jiang Lan broke through the hurricane and tumbled headfirst into the cave that Babata had found in advance.

"Huff... huff..."

Jiang Lan lay on her back, her chest heaving violently.

"Cough... Babata... What kind of weird place did you pick? I almost got caught in it just now."

Babata's voice was weak.

"I didn't expect you to be so unlucky, running straight into the eye of the storm. It's only because you have a solid foundation that you could survive. Even if it were another martial artist of your level, they would most likely die in that situation."

Jiang Lan rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Babata has the nerve to say that.

However, Babata couldn't be blamed for what happened just now.

But he was just really unlucky.

The eye of the storm is not something you encounter easily.

Even if an ordinary person wanted to find it, they might not be able to.

This place is not bad, though.

At least before he goes out, he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed by others.

To reach this cave, one must pass through the barrier formed by the fierce wind.

Jiang Lan didn't believe that anyone else in this Thunder World could do this, except for him.

After resting for a while, Jiang Lan finally felt a little better and sat up from the ground.

"Babata, please help me connect to the virtual universe."

Jiang Lan spoke up.

That's the good thing about the virtual universe.

No matter where you are, as long as you are still in this universe, you can connect.

Even though this is the world of the realm master, you can still enter the virtual universe if you want.

He hadn't contacted Yao Rao and Hong for a while, so he took this opportunity to let them know he was safe.

"Okay."

As Babata finished speaking, the scenery in front of Jiang Lan suddenly changed.

The original cave has been transformed into a villa in a virtual universe.

"Oh, right." Jiang Lan seemed to suddenly remember something, "Babata, keep an eye on the outside world. If anyone else comes, remember to tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, I've got your back."

Babata patted his chest loudly on Jiang Lan's shoulder.

Jiang Lan smiled and prepared to send a message to Yao Rao.

Virtual reality headsets can receive messages.

Therefore, as long as Yao Rao is not far from the helmet, she will be able to receive Jiang Lan's message.

Upon seeing the message, she would naturally know that Jiang Lan was looking for her.

However, before Jiang Lan could send out his message, a curvaceous figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Honey?"

The figure opened his eyes and saw Jiang Lan, his face filled with surprise and delight.

Jiang Lan also raised an eyebrow.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a meeting of minds.

He was just about to send a message to Yao Rao when the other person went straight into the virtual universe.

"have not seen you for a long time."

She suddenly threw herself into Jiang Lan's arms, asking, "How have you been lately?"

"Nothing's wrong, everything's fine," Jiang Lan said with a smile. "I just came in to let you know I'm safe."

"That's good... Weren't you supposed to be taking the mercenary exam? What, is the exam over?"

"Not yet, but soon." Jiang Lan's smile remained unchanged. "If all goes well, you should be able to see me in about half a month." (End of Chapter)
