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

Chapter 19 The Scientific Explanation of Love at First Sight

"This is outside County 0372. Next, I will take you to find a suitable target. Although this place is not dangerous for you, it is your first time entering the wilderness, so remember to stay close to me."

In front of Jiang Lan, Yao Rao casually swung her sword, and a sword beam shot out, heading straight for a monster that was trying to charge at the two of them from a distance.

Before it could even scream, the monster's body continued forward due to inertia, but only its limbs were running; its upper body remained in place.

Blood splattered everywhere, and after running only a couple of steps, the monster's lower body also collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Gulp."

Jiang Lan swallowed.

Is this what a planetary warrior is like?

That's awesome?

"Did you hear that?"

Jiang Lan grinned, thinking to herself, "Even if I don't follow you, do you think I can run away right under your nose?"

"I heard you."

She nodded slightly and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Jiang Lan followed behind Yao Rao. As they passed the monster that Yao Rao had just cut in two, a long-lost voice rang in their ears again.

[Sacrificeable item detected: Steel-bristled Wild Boar (carcass). Do you wish to sacrifice it?]

A sacrifice?

Sacrifice my ass!

The alluring woman was walking ahead; if the wild boar suddenly disappeared, how would he explain it?

Let alone his fiancée, he couldn't even tell his own wife about something like the system.

"Moo—"

A roar of a beast rang out from ahead.

The alluring woman turned her head to look at Jiang Lan, "Judging from the sound, it's a high-level armored bull beast soldier. Perfect for you to practice on, is that alright?"

"Can."

Jiang Lan did not refuse.

Although the monsters' physical attributes are much stronger than those of martial artists of the same level, beast soldiers are still just beast soldiers, and their counterparts are only warrior-level martial artists.

Although he lacks combat experience, if he can't even handle a single beast soldier, he might as well just go back to the furnace and start over.

She glanced at Jiang Lan again and asked alluringly:

"Did you bring weapons?"

"No……"

Jiang Lan felt somewhat embarrassed.

He was practically the first person to venture into the wilderness without weapons.

The key issue is that her allure came too quickly.

The original plan was to arrive in two hours, but Yaorao only took less than an hour and a half.

Moreover, after arriving there, they didn't even disembark from the fighter jet; they immediately called Jiang Lan onto the plane.

After a while, Jiang Lan forgot about the weapons altogether.

"then."

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Lan looked up and saw a jet-black sword with a scabbard flying towards him.

With his incredibly fast reflexes, Jiang Lan didn't even have time to think before his hand grabbed the scabbard.

Looking at the alluring woman with her hands empty, Jiang Lan subconsciously said:

"What will you use without a sword?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lan realized something was wrong.

As a planetary-level being, aside from a few beast kings and beast emperors who need to be avoided, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he can roam freely on Earth.

He actually asked people what they would use if they didn't have weapons?

She could slap a monster's head all the way to Yangzhou base city with one slap, what's the difference?

Yao Rao was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me."

Jiang Lan's lips twitched. He felt that Yao Rao might have wanted to retort to him, but she changed her mind before she could finish speaking.

In fact, ever since Jiang Lan mentioned the three-month timeframe on the fighter jet, Yao Rao's attitude towards him has become a bit strange.

It seemed like disbelief, yet there was also a hint of anticipation.

In short, Yao Rao's final answer was:

"Then three months."

After that, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened and returned to their original roles.

Jiang Lan wasn't particularly interested in his unknown fiancée.

But after learning that his fiancée was alluring, he became interested again.

He was so interested!

Jiang Lan swore that he was absolutely not lusting after a seductive body.

To put it simply, it was love at first sight for him.

To explain it in a more scientific way, this is...

forget.

Anyway, it's all about falling in love at first sight.

"What are you... grinning about?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lan wiped a trickle of drool from the corner of her mouth. "No, no, you're killing monsters, right? Where?"

Behind the mask, a seductive smile played on her lips, but Jiang Lan couldn't see it.

"I already told you earlier."

Jiang Lan drew his sword.

Surprisingly, although the sword wasn't heavy, Jiang Lan found it surprisingly easy to use.

Even if we don't say that the sword and the user are one, it's at least good enough to slay a monster.

"Moo—"

The beast's roar rang out again. Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Lan grabbed his sword and rushed towards the location from which the roar originated.

Swift Shadow, activate!

Jiang Lan's speed suddenly increased to a new level, and in less than a second, he saw a bovine monster in front of him.

This armored bull is about 4.5 meters long and even taller than Jiang Lan by a head. Its iron-gray skin reflects a glossy sheen under the sunlight.

What is particularly striking is that the armored bull has two winding, spiraling horns on either side of its forehead, with the tips pointing straight up to the sky, looking extremely sharp.

If someone were to be stabbed, even if a martial artist didn't die, they would likely suffer a lifelong disability.

Jiang Lan took a deep breath.

Although I said I wasn't afraid, I was still a little flustered when I actually faced this guy who was several times my size.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Lan charged towards the armored bull with his sword.

The armored bull opposite also noticed Jiang Lan, this uninvited guest, and began to paw at the ground restlessly with its front hooves.

"Moo!"

"Sizzle!"

The next instant, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out as Jiang Lan's longsword slashed past the side of the armored bull.

Jiang Lan retreated immediately after her attack, and using her speed advantage, she appeared more than 100 meters away.

At this moment, the armored bull had a gruesome wound about half a meter long on its side, deep enough to expose its internal organs, and blood was spraying all over the ground as if it were free.

"Moo!!"

The armored bull, in pain, turned bloodshot and charged towards Jiang Lan.

But its movements were so exaggerated that it actually spilled the tripe inside.

Jiang Lan stood still, quietly watching the armored bull.

It charged forward for less than fifty meters, leaving a trail of entrails in its wake. Exhausted, it collapsed to the ground, its front legs twitching twice before finally coming to a complete stop.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan gained a new understanding of his own strength.

He could completely crush the armored bull, which was at the level of a beast soldier.

Jiang Lan even thought that even without using a sword, just hand-to-hand combat, Ironclad Bull would not be his match.

It's too slow.

In Jiang Lan's view, with his Shadow Strike activated, the Ironclad Bull's running movements were like slow-motion footage, frame by frame. If he wanted, the Ironclad Bull wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.

In this way, Jiang Lan is completely invincible.

"good."

Suddenly, Yao Rao appeared behind Jiang Lan and whispered a compliment.

Jiang Lan looked at Yao Rao and said meaningfully:

"I think it's good too."
