That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

The night was hazy, and the chirping of insects in the woods was intermittent, sometimes near and sometimes far.

The low-lying areas on the ground, where the drizzle had accumulated into small puddles, looked like bright mirrors under the moonlight.

Liu Huan, carrying a large sword on his back, shot off rapidly into the distance.

"What should we eat later? It's so late. Should we get some snail rice noodles when we get back, or order a big skewer of barbecue?"

Before leaving home, Liu Huan had already told Selena that he had something to do and wouldn't be home for the next few days, and that she should find something to eat on her own.

In addition, some interesting things happened.

Selena felt that her name was a bit difficult to pronounce, and when she talked to people around her, her name always stood out.

Therefore, when she decided to stay here, she changed her name to Liu Linna, sharing the same surname as Liu Huan!

Liu Huan was somewhat gratified; this was a sign that the other party wanted to integrate into modern society!

"Let's travel a little further and then rest!"

Just as Liu Huan was having this thought, an unknown figure appeared in the distant woods.

The person was completely concealed under a gray robe and stood in a very conspicuous place, so it seemed that he had no ill intentions.

One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must not be without the heart to guard against others.

With caution in mind, Liu Huan stopped fifteen meters in front of the figure.

He stopped, his hand stealthily reaching behind him: "Who are you?"

The mysterious gray-robed figure raised his chin, revealing a pretty face hidden under his hood.

Upon seeing who it was, he froze for half a second.

He quickly switched to a blank expression, "What are you doing here?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huan looked more closely at that beautiful yet perpetually cold face and almost burst out laughing.

"Miss Ophelia, why can't I stay here? This swamp forest isn't your property. I can go wherever I want!"

"But you, coming to such a dangerous place all alone!"

"Aren't you the same way? And is this some kind of concern for me?!"

"How could I possibly be qualified to care about that infamous, unattainable beauty in the guild!"

"So, are you jealous?"

…………

After a heated exchange, the two unexpectedly smiled slightly, their lips curving upwards.

In modern terms, it's like saying, "Damn it, don't underestimate our bond!"

After his smile faded, Liu Huan's voice turned slightly serious as he asked, "Speaking of which, what brings you to the depths of the swamp forest?"

Ophelia sighed, "My cousin ran away from home and came to Maple Leaf Town to stay with me."

"She and her best friend were poisoned by swamp poison in the swamp forest. It's very troublesome. Only the mossy green fruit that grows by the streams deep in the swamp forest can cure them."

"Hehe, dealing with a little bear like this is really a headache."

Liu Huan felt a little schadenfreude, since Ophelia usually seemed indifferent to everything.

It's quite rare to see him looking so worried these days.

"Stop being so cheeky. I wanted to team up with you, but you didn't want to!"

Seeing Liu Huan trying to suppress his laughter, Ophelia's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she glared at him fiercely.

It didn't achieve the desired deterrent effect; instead, it had a unique allure.

This made Liu Huan feel embarrassed. "If you had explained things clearly back then, wouldn't it have been fine!"

"Hmph, it's not like I absolutely need someone to guide me. If you can do it, why can't I?!"

Ophelia lowered her eyes and said softly.

Liu Huan explained, "I was just worried that you'd be misunderstood by outsiders, which would cause you confusion!"

"Besides, given our relationship, would I not help you?"

Liu Huan was captured by slave traders of the Podolian Order, and later that slave trader group was destroyed by bounty hunters sent by the guild.

Bounty hunters alone could not possibly destroy the Order's secret camp; there were many adventurers who had taken on the mission to raid it.

Ophelia was one of them. She had just joined the guild and, thanks to her exceptional skills, gained the approval of the guild's receptionist and was given a commissioned task.

"Also, didn't you explain the situation to Natasha?"

Liu Huan was a little puzzled. He hadn't seen Ophelia's teammates yet. Could it be that she had also ventured into the swamp forest alone?

Ophelia replied coldly, "If you can do it, why can't I?"

"My God!" Liu Huan couldn't help but slap his forehead, muttering to himself, "You really are my sister! I can travel to another world, can you? Don't you know your own limitations before acting recklessly here!"

Normally, adventurers in the Bone Forging Realm mainly operate in Camp 4 and parts of Camp 7.

Going any deeper would be life-threatening!

However, this applies to solo adventurers. Adventurers at the Bone Forging Realm can visit most camps if they team up.

But the moss and green fruit grow in the deeper streams and rivers, which is equivalent to going two more campsites away.

Without forming a team, perhaps only adventurers at the Refined Realm can move freely without fear of monsters.

"Let's team up!"

Liu Huan was worried that Ophelia might encounter danger in the swamp forest, so he took the initiative to apply to form a team.

Ophelia's strength has reached the second stage of Bone Forging, based solely on the time she joined the guild and the strength she has increased in the past six months.

They don't have the reputation of being among the Five Fallen Heroes!

Ophelia pursed her thin lips slightly, nodded gently, revealing her fair and delicate chin, and said aloofly, "Okay!"

As the saying goes, "When you're out in the world, there are always times when you have no choice but to go." Liu Huan silently said goodbye to snail rice noodles and lamb skewers with tears in his eyes.

I'm afraid I'll have to sleep outdoors tonight!

The two traveled for a while before having to stop.

The fog in the forest grew thicker and thicker, to the point where no one could be seen more than five meters away, blurring all visible outlines.

The swamp was filled with a faint gray-white mist in the dead of night, cold and damp, with chilly water vapor, as if only Liu Huan and Ophelia remained in the world.

"Looks like this is all we can do for today!"

Liu Huan let out a long breath, his forehead dampened by the thick steam.

He finally found a tree hollow, and he and Ophelia crawled inside.

Ophelia removed her hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Beneath her full, fair forehead were a pair of alluring almond-shaped eyes, a pert nose, and red lips.

This is a flawless, absolutely beautiful face!

Liu Huan was afraid that Ophelia would notice his gaze and then say something sarcastic to him, so he quickly looked away.

Ophelia flicked her long, deep purple hair, which was still damp with water droplets, and then said, seemingly casually, "How have your magic and swordsmanship training been since that day?"

If there were outsiders here, they would probably jump up in surprise upon hearing Ophelia's words!

Because of this world.

It has become common knowledge that one cannot cultivate both martial arts and magic.

In the distant past, people could cultivate both martial arts and magic simultaneously, and even created a new class for them—the Magic Swordsman.

In this era where martial arts and magic cannot be cultivated simultaneously, Liu Huan and Ophelia have unexpectedly become magic swordsmen.

Liu Huan changed his class to Elemental Swordsman, while Ophelia changed her class to Arcane Swordsman.

In this era where swordsmanship and magic are no longer permitted to be practiced simultaneously...

Perhaps, the two of them are the only two remaining magic swordsmen in this world!
