Hungry Xie Bai began rummaging through his backpack, hoping to find something to eat.

Then she discovered that there was only one thing she could eat in the huge backpack.

【Spiritual Essence Group *20】

This top-tier item, crafted from compressed powerful souls, is an exceptionally valuable soul-related item capable of serving a variety of soul-related purposes.

If you're absolutely desperate, you can eat it. It restores a huge amount of stamina, enough for ten days of normal stamina consumption, and also grants numerous buffs for 24 hours after consumption.

This includes health regeneration, physical resistance, magic resistance, soul resistance, and movement speed bonus.

This was a product brought by the harvesters. Xie Bai originally planned to feed it to Li Zang, but now he had no choice but to use it as emergency food to fill his stomach.

Unfortunately, due to the Gluttony Curse, Xie Bai was unable to gain those benefits by consuming the Spirit Matter.

However, it's good enough that it can help Xie Bai recover his strength.

Xie Bai took out a ball of white spiritual energy from his backpack and ate it with some embarrassment.

"vomit……"

Just as he was about to vomit, Xie Bai immediately stopped him.

After a struggle within himself, Xie Bai finally forced himself to swallow it, suppressing his nausea.

"Well……"

Xie Bai's face turned pale.

Well...

The texture is like a combination of jelly and glutinous rice cake, slippery and with a strange feeling that is hard to describe.

But that's not the key point!

The key thing is that this thing has absolutely no taste!

It has absolutely no taste.

It's even more tasteless than sugar-free milk tea!

Combined with its extremely strange taste, it's utterly disgusting.

It couldn't even bite it open; it had to swallow it whole.

That strange, icy-cold stuff, the way it slid down his throat, gave Xie Bai a feeling of both physical and psychological nausea.

"Fortunately, I didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day after I finished eating."

After disgustedly patting his chest, Xie Bai secretly vowed never to eat this stuff again.

Xie Bai's most pressing task now is to find something else to eat.

So that she wouldn't be so hungry again that she couldn't bear to eat this awful stuff.

After looking around, Xie Bai found that the surrounding area was filled with dense trees.

At first glance, the scenery is almost identical, and there is absolutely no way to leave.

"But even if I find a town, the negative reputation from the Curse of Pride will prevent me from entering."

"They might be kicked out by the city lord himself as soon as they go in."

Xie Bai scratched his head in distress, looking somewhat at a loss.

Is she really going to live like a wild woman in the wilderness?

"No, absolutely not!"

Xie Bai shook his head, then remembered what would happen in a novel if this were the case.

A caravan will likely appear in the forest and be attacked by monsters. The protagonist will then come to the rescue, and the caravan, after expressing their gratitude, will take the protagonist with them to their target town.

"However..."

Xie Bai looked at the negative luck value with some embarrassment and felt a little guilty.

Normally, she would never encounter such a perfectly timed situation.

Just as Xie Bai thought this, an almost dramatic scene unfolded in the distance.

"Kill! Don't let that kid get away!"

"You damn brat, how dare you blow our adults into the latrine! We absolutely can't let him get away with this!"

"The lord has given the order: whoever captures this brat alive will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins!"

"What the hell? One hundred gold coins? That's more than my food expenses for a year! Don't stop me, I'll tie this kid up first!"

"Why the hell did you push me? Wait, I fell... Ah! No, stop stepping on me... Oh crap! Stop stepping on me, oh crap!"

"Did you just step on something?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you bastard! Now rush up there and grab that kid!"

"Damn it... how can this kid run so fast? I'm almost exhausted."

"We're in the Slime King's territory ahead! Kids, charge! We have items that make us immune to slimes!"

"Wait a minute, where are my items? Oh crap, where are my items? I dropped them on the way!"

For some reason, a group of barbarians with extremely high levels of vulgarity suddenly rushed towards Xie Bai's direction.

And ahead of them, someone was running as fast as they could.

If that person runs even a little slower, he will be caught by the people behind him and chopped into mincemeat.

Edward (lv.15)

[Occupation: Alchemist]

"Why am I so unlucky today? I was just digging a tunnel for an experiment, and somehow it ended up blowing up the barbarians' hometown."

Edward ran as fast as he could in front.

As the chief apprentice of the royal chief alchemist, he should not have any dealings with these barbarians.

But today, in order to complete the project on the underground magic train, he specially chose a propitious location to dig a tunnel for his experiments.

Why did the bomb end up hitting the barbarians' hometown?

"I don't know which step went wrong. Every step was working correctly, so how did this accident happen?"

Edward couldn't understand it.

"The Slime King's territory is just ahead. May Master Roland protect me and let me return alive."

Edward ran into the Slime King's territory, only to find that he didn't find a single slime.

Instead, there was an extremely cute white-haired girl standing barefoot in the middle of the open space.

The girl was like a dream, her pure white hair floating in the air, her crimson eyes appearing and disappearing, as if she were about to turn and look at him at any moment.

"Why?"

In a moment of distraction, Edward accidentally bumped into a stone and fell three times on the ground.

This mistake allowed the barbarians behind to catch up.

"He fell down! Kids, charge! We've got to catch that bastard, skewer him, and roast him!"

"Charge! For my hundred gold coins!"

"Screw you, that's mine!"

"Why the hell did you kick me?! We all have those hundred gold coins!"

In the chaos, many barbarians rushed forward.

Edward had just spat out the mud in his mouth when he saw several fierce-looking barbarians rushing towards him.

"No way, I've only been a student of Professor Roland for three years, and I'm already going to die young?"

Just as Edward, with the barbarian so close at hand, was about to resign himself to his fate in despair, the girl in the distance moved.

【Soul Stealing Lv.1】

Unleashes a soul blast with a radius of 10 times the level, dealing true damage equal to 100 times the level to enemy units within the area.

[Cooldown: 1s / Cost: 100 Mana]

Xie Bai locked onto those barbarians as hostile units and used Soul Drain, consuming 1000 mana points per second.

-38,000

-38,000

-38,000

-38,000

……

Xie Bai's soul-capturing attack was invisible; to outsiders, a large group of barbarians fell down inexplicably.

"Ah! What the hell?!"

"puff!"

"What happened?! All our soldiers are dead?!"

"My...my heart is hurting so much..."

"Help me...help me!"

"It's that girl! It's her evil magic! Everyone, run!"

"I can't do it anymore, I can't run anymore..."

"It hurts so much...it hurts so much..."

"puff!"

"Ugh!"

In an instant, hordes of barbarians fell, leaving a very deep impression on young Edward.

After confirming that all the barbarians were dead, he looked at Xie Bai in disbelief.

"Who exactly is she? How could she kill them all with just a single thought?"

"Judging from the pained expressions on those barbarians' faces, could it be the evil magic of the Chaos Cult?"

Edward suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, if that's the case, doesn't it mean I've just escaped one danger only to fall into another?!"

Just as Edward was about to get up and run away, Xie Bai rushed up to Edward.

She placed the funeral pyre on Edward's neck, speaking the most terrifying words in the most adorable voice.

"Take me to the nearest town, give me all the good things you have, and then cook me two dishes."

"Or I'll kill you."
