Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

night.

Beside the campfire.

Summer is enjoying a delicious crab burger.

As one of the few edible mythical creatures, the Blood-Net Red-Toothed Crab has delicious meat and is a rare delicacy.

When absorbing the energy of the Bloodweb Red Fang Crab, Xia Jian deliberately saved a crab leg and some crab roe.

It's a bit troublesome to cook it thoroughly; you have to use a quenching pan to cook it to an edible level.

After eating the crab meat, a warm current spread from her abdomen to her whole body, making Xia Jian stretch comfortably.

In the summer, I lay comfortably on the sand, surrounded by a thick gray mist.

Perhaps it was a sign of impending collapse, but Natsumi noticed that the ruins were getting darker and darker.

"Should we go further in next?"

Xia Jian picked a blade of grass from the side and picked his teeth as he thought about it.

Now that he has killed all the hostile first-tier wizards on the periphery, he has almost finished collecting all the profits he could.

Although there might be some herbs that were missed, Xia Jian was too lazy to look for them. After all, finding them would be a happy outcome, while not finding them would be a waste of effort.

Moreover, the resources plundered this time were plentiful. Compared to the herbs that Mu Shuang took, only some high-grade herbs were missing. At least for the time being, I won't have to worry about herbs anymore.

However, if you go further inside, you'll find that the inhabitants are all second-tier or higher wizards, and most importantly, the beasts inside are much stronger than those on the outer perimeter.

If I can't even handle a Bloodweb Red-toothed Crab, I can't imagine what it would be like to encounter other strange beasts.

"How about we go find Bro?"

The image of Bro appeared in Xia Jian's mind.

If the other party had worked with him to find a solution, he might have even given Bro some reward after taking the Bloodweb Red Fang Crab's egg.

But since that bastard dared to scheme against him, he naturally had to be prepared for his revenge.

After a moment's thought, Xia Jian decided to give up.

Finding a group of people is easier, as they will always leave clues. But finding one person is a matter of luck; who knows where Bro is hiding?

Instead of wasting time searching for Bro, we should quickly improve our strength and think about how to find an opportunity to test what Mu Shuang really wants to do.

…………

The next day, in the morning.

"boom!"

A loud bang startled Natsumi, who was slacking off.

Xia Jian looked up in the direction from which the sound came, only to find that the surrounding mist had mostly dissipated at some point.

"It's a heritage center, why are they fighting again? Does it have that many good things inside?"

Looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, Xia Jian's lazy heart couldn't help but stir.

Generally speaking, the items inside historical sites are quite valuable.

It's not that advanced technology makes things better than what we have now.

Rather, it was because good things were everywhere in that era, and everything they made was made with high-quality materials.

Unlike modern wizards, who rack their brains and are extremely frugal, resorting to all sorts of methods to reduce costs when they lack good materials.

Although various manufacturing technologies have improved, the products made are not as durable as before, and their power is also questionable.

Even discarded items in historical sites can be repurposed and their value multiplied once the materials are extracted.

"When gods fight, mortals suffer; I'm outta here."

After thinking it over, Xia Jian decided not to get involved in this mess.

After all, as much as he was envious, those people over there were often fourth-tier wizards, and the spells they used would probably severely injure him even if they only touched them.

Xia Jian stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to head towards the entrance to wait.

Suddenly, a figure ran towards Xia Jian.

"It looks familiar." Natsume looked at the person opposite him with a sense of déjà vu.

"save……"

Bro was about to shout for help when he realized that Natsumi was standing opposite him, and his pupils immediately contracted.

Xia Jian slowly drew his wooden sword.

As someone who doesn't like to hold grudges overnight, Natsumi naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by.

Even though Bro knew that Natsume would kill him, he gritted his teeth and continued running towards Natsume.

Although Natsume sensed something was wrong, his priority now was to kill Bro and prevent him from harming others.

"Wait, wait! There's a big guy behind you; you can't handle it!"

Just as Xia Jian was about to make a move, Bro hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, but what greeted Bro was a black sword aura.

Upon seeing this, Bro's magical power surged rapidly, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned several fireballs that shattered the sword energy.

Before Bro could even catch his breath, a black arm reached out from the shadows beneath his feet, grabbed his left leg, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Xia Jian slowly walked up to Bro and pressed his sword against Bro's forehead.

"You can't kill me. I have a mental mark left by my uncle. If I die, my uncle will know what happened here."

Bro said in a panic, trying to persuade Natsumi to show mercy.

Xia Jian frowned, his eyes flickering with a hint of hesitation.

But it wasn't because he was afraid of Frank; he was thinking about another problem.

Although I don't know if Bro is telling the truth or not, if Bro has a mental imprint left by a high-level wizard, does that mean the wizards I killed also have mental imprints?

If that's the case, then it's going to be a bit troublesome; I might not be able to leave the Linya Ruins.

After all, although Mu Shuang is very strong, judging from her previous performance, she is not confident that she can defeat multiple fourth-tier wizards. Otherwise, given Mu Shuang's personality, she would probably have directly taken over the ruins.

Now that he has killed so many people, once they gather at the entrance, the other fourth-tier wizards won't even need to lift a finger. As long as they can restrain Mu Shuang, the others will be able to kill him.

Ultimately, he suffered from a lack of education; when he committed the murder, Natsumi never thought of this.

But thinking about it carefully, something seems off.

Summer's gaze toward Bro gradually turned cold.

Killing one is the same as killing several, so who knows if Bro is lying to him?

If everyone had this, wizards from other factions would probably have come looking for him long ago, instead of killing so many people and then remaining silent.

"I still have things I obtained from the ruins here, you can have them all, look."

As he spoke, Bro took out a large pile of books and various materials from his spatial bag.

Perhaps fearing that Natsumi would become impatient, Bro simply threw the spatial bag on the ground in the end.

"Even if I kill you, your things will still be..."

Before Xia Jian could finish speaking, a shadow fell over him, and then a huge rock came crashing down on him.

Seeing this, Xia Jian quickly unleashed several black sword energies with his wooden sword.

In an instant, the boulder was shattered, and the scattered rubble covered the area around Xia Jian.

Just then, Bro, who was lying on the ground, did a lazy roll, then got up and ran off into the distance.

Xia Jian unleashed a black sword aura attack, but it was blocked by a semi-transparent barrier that suddenly appeared on Bro's body.

Seeing that Bro was about to escape, Natsumi naturally wouldn't let him get away with it. He picked up the things on the ground and chased after Bro.
