Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 108 First Encounter

"Snap! Snap!"

It made a crisp sound, like chewing on a biscuit, but when everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they were instantly chilled to the bone.

A child who looked slightly larger than the little girl with the torch was holding a long knife and biting into it.

The long sword was naturally the weapon that had just disappeared from the deserter's hands. The quality of this long sword wasn't particularly good, but it was still a weapon. At this moment, it was like a biscuit in the other party's mouth. Watching the long sword disappear bit by bit in the other party's mouth, anyone would feel a sense of fear. If it were a weapon, it would probably be eaten in one bite.

"A demon—a monster!!"

No one saw how the two extra people appeared in the arena. Coupled with the monster chewing its weapon like a snack, the deserters immediately thought of the legendary mountain demons and ghosts, and screamed as they ran away.

The ones who came to the rescue were Lao Jun and Fang Xiu, who were traveling nearby. Fang Xiu originally didn't want to help; he preferred to stay and watch the show with Xuan Li. However, Lao Jun grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him out.

"Ugh! That darn blue Christmas tree—"

Fang Xiu muttered to himself, chewing on the long knife in his hand as if he were chewing on a blue Christmas tree.

When he saw the group of deserters fleeing, Fang Xiu raised his hand and grabbed them; the weapons on the deserters flew to Fang Xiu's side automatically.

Fang Xiu, who originally only had the Dark Spirit Control ability, has now acquired all five elements of Spirit Control abilities after passing through the Gray Mist Space, and even has special abilities such as wind and thunder.

The weapon turned crimson as it flew in front of Fang Xiu, quickly melting into molten iron. Fang Xiu didn't mind and drank the scalding hot molten iron.

"Smack smack, the temperature is just right."

The body of the Taotie may not be indestructible, but its stomach certainly is.

Witnessing Fang Xiu's actions firsthand, the fleeing civilians were terrified. They had left behind a pack of wolf-like deserters, but now two monsters had appeared!

Yes, just like those deserters, these people instinctively regarded Fang Xiu as a monster, and Laozi, who was with him, naturally did too.

Lao Jun didn't care much about the other party's small act of revenge; in fact, he was happy to see it.

This shows that Fang Xiu is still a normal fairy, not a monster driven by hunger.

Lao Jun slowly took out a pipe and walked towards the brave little girl who had been the first to step forward, holding a torch.

"Little girl, can I borrow a light?"

The little girl holding the torch was taken aback, but she quickly used the torch in her hand to light the fire for Laozi.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Li Qingning!"

"A good name."

The initially frightened crowd gradually relaxed as they saw that Lao Jun and the others seemed to have no ill intentions. After all, if they really had malicious intent, judging from Fang Xiu's appearance, they could have devoured them like desserts.

Moreover, Laozi demonstrated an amazing healing technique; with a flash of light in his hand, the bruises on the woman's body vanished without a trace.

Li Qingning was utterly astonished by her beauty.

"How did you do that?! Teach me!!"

Qingning, who was amazed by Laozi's medical skills, immediately expressed that she wanted to follow Laozi in the future and learn his medical skills.

"Disciple Qingning greets Master!"

"From now on, you're my master. Don't you dare run away."

Li Qingning's shameless act of forcibly becoming a disciple left Laozi speechless; she was actually quite the little rascal.

It was at this moment that Lao Jun realized Li Qingning's special nature; she was a natural healer.

"Becoming my apprentice isn't so easy. I'll think about it."

"Thank you, Master! (≧∇≦≧∇≦)!"

Qingning, seizing the opportunity, wore a joyful expression.

"Snap!"

Having witnessed the entire process and watched the live broadcast, Fang Xiu was now eating with a cool and gusto. Because of his actions of eating a long knife raw and drinking molten iron, no one else dared to approach him.

"If you have nowhere else to go, come to my place!"

Lao Jun has already started the process of acquiring props.

"This compass will point directly to your destination, which is a town. It will take you about a month to get there."

"This is your food for this month. It's a loan from you. You can pay me back after the harvest."

Lao Jun reached out, and a huge pile of grain appeared in his hand, which he handed to the villagers.

Having said what he needed to say, Lao Jun grabbed Fang Xiu by the collar and lifted him up.

"We must continue our travels," Lao Jun said with a light laugh. "Goodbye, Xiao Qingning."

Having said that, Laozi and Fang Xiu in his hand turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

"Master! Master! Won't you eat something before you leave, Master!"

Qing Ning's mind circuits were so unusual that they startled a group of villagers who were supporting the grain, causing them to fall over.

"Haha! That little girl is really funny!"

Xuan Li stood on a protruding section of the cliff, looking down at the scene below and laughing heartily.

At this moment, Lao Jun returned, dragging Fang Xiu, who looked quite displeased.

"That's really strange, you didn't refuse this disciple." After laughing, Xuan Li said with some curiosity.

"It's because she's a healing type, isn't it?" The one who answered Xuan Li wasn't Lao Jun, but Fang Xiu, who struggled to jump off Lao Jun's hand.

"Oh? How did you discover that?" Laozi did not deny it, but asked in return.

"Because it looks especially delicious."

Fang Xiu's calm tone carried a terrifying undertone. The moment Taotie saw Qing Ning, its instinct was to frantically offer opinions to Fang Xiu.

Eat her! Eat her!! Eat her!!

The moment Fang Xiu first saw Qing Ning, his instincts screamed for him to devour her, which is why he kept eating her.

Before entering the gray fog space, Fang Xiu might have lost control and been dominated by his body's instincts. But now, these instincts only make Fang Xiu feel noisy, rather than allowing him to follow his instincts and become a beast.

"Healing system?!"

Among the six major types of abilities in this world, the healing type belongs to the living beings type and is the most unique one. Self-sacrifice for the benefit of others is the best description of the healing type.

Normal abilities involve absorbing spiritual energy, but healing abilities require consuming one's own spiritual essence to heal others.

Healing abilities are among the rarest of all abilities, with no more than a handful of humans and fairies known to possess them to date.

"That's right, that child is a natural healer." Lao Jun chuckled. He hadn't expected that Fang Xiu could determine Qing Ning's attributes through this method.

"Look, even Fang Xiu could see it, but you didn't notice."

Lao Jun's mocking gaze fell on Xuan Li.

"Oh right, I forgot, you only have brute strength, not eyesight."

"fool----"

Xuan Li bared his teeth, wishing he could bite Laozi a couple of times.

Li Qingning and her group followed the compass toward Lanxi Town, while Fang Xiu continued to follow Lao Jun around searching for people.
