My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Alright, alright, brother, don't get excited... By the way, what's your name? I should at least have a name to call you, right?" Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan stretched out their hands. At this moment, several people came out from the group surrounding them and put a pair of strangely made handcuffs on the two of them.

"I don't need to answer your question." The man glared at Leng Yihan, but even without him saying it, Leng Yihan probably knew what kind of person this guy was. He was at least a captain. The current team members all listened to him very well. It seemed that he had a lot of authority.

Having hitched a ride along the way, the two are now heading towards the center of the Forest of the Dead...

93 A Shattered World (The End)

"Is this the interior of the Forest of the Fallen Demons..." Leng Binglan murmured, staring blankly at the bustling scene before her, the last sanctuary in this world.

Unlike Wuling City, which is right next door, where the architectural style is a mix of ancient Chinese wooden houses and modern elements, this place is more like a place where elves live in novels and anime, mixed with the style of the Western Regions.

"Follow me." The person who had brought them here earlier continued to lead the way. The two were surrounded by other residents. Just as Leng Yihan was still wondering what race these people were, she suddenly remembered the system.

She decisively chose to check the person who was clearly the captain of the escort team, and when she saw his data, Leng Yihan gasped.

[NPC: Taro]

Race: Titan

[Level: 120]

Current Health: 100%

[Attack Power: Extremely High]

Defense: ???

[Special attack methods: Enlarged body, ignores defense, penetrating damage]

[Note: The Titans, residing within the Forest of the Fallen Demons, are the rulers of this region and are protected by the will of the world. Taro is the captain of the Titan Patrol Team 1 and the greatest genius of the Titan race in the present day.]

"Although I really want to complain about this name... I think it's best to say less." Leng Yihan's eyebrows twitched, but she still didn't say anything to complain about the name. However, she noticed a very interesting sentence.

Are they protected by the will of the world...?

Leng Yihan's gaze shifted to the tallest tower in the city, its spire soaring into the clouds, and the power it contained was probably no weaker than that of the Demon King.

"Then why don't they go out and punish the Demon King? Or did they sign some kind of pact with the Demon King, and coexist peacefully... Oh right, I still need to ask that little girl after this, I don't want to lose my life anytime soon." Leng Yihan calculated what to do next while following Taro as they continued towards the tower.

The journey was quite long. At least there were quite a few Titans they had seen so far, and what was even more terrifying was that they generally possessed strength above level 80. If Leng Yihan tried to resist... she might be instantly reduced to dust.

Leng Yihan subconsciously looked at Leng Binglan, and saw that she was also looking in her direction. After their eyes met, they tacitly understood each other's meaning - don't cause trouble, cooperate with them!

In the bustling city, the streets and shops are filled with the noisy shouts of vendors, and the taverns are filled with the shouts of drunkards yelling for another drink.

Patrol Team 1 continued to escort Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan, and just as the two were beginning to get impatient, they realized that they were now very close to the tower in the center of the city.

"team leader……"

"Take him directly to the elders' office. You can inform the elders and investigate what's happening outside."

"Understood, Captain." The person who spoke nodded to Taro and left first. The others continued to watch over Leng Yihan and the other person. Moreover, the level of the Titans patrolling around them had already been raised to over level 100. In a little while, there might be characters over level 150, the kind of monster-level characters who could catch Leng Yihan's sword slash with one hand.

And the most bizarre thing is that this group of people are incredibly fast. The person who had spoken to Taro earlier disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye after receiving Taro's instructions, and Leng Yihan's face immediately turned extremely pale.

"So you're walking so slowly because you're watching over us..." Leng Yihan didn't keep these words to himself, but said them out loud. He had just seen a little boy hopping around aimlessly with a box full of apples weighing at least fifty or sixty kilograms on one finger... but no one responded to what he said.

This group of people possesses terrifying strength and speed. If their intelligence, which is currently the most difficult thing to discern, is also top-notch, then Leng Yihan and her companion might not be able to escape this tower.

After a few minutes, the two finally arrived at the central tower. "This is the Tower of the World. Show me the proper respect when you go in." Taro, who hadn't said a word the whole way, turned around and said with a murderous look in his eyes, which made the two nod hurriedly.

If there weren't so many people here, I would have killed you already...

Leng Yihan thought with dissatisfaction, but if he dared to be reckless now... he could probably start another game right away. These people were all incredibly monstrous; how could he possibly win?

Upon entering the tower, Leng Yihan immediately felt a sense of unease. In the blink of an eye, the hall before her had transformed into a smaller room than the previous one. Several people were now seated next to them, scrutinizing them. It had to be said, the situation was strangely reminiscent of a courtroom...

"Stop looking. When you came in, the elders used a teleportation spell to bring you to the elders' room. I expect you to answer every question we ask seriously and honestly. Trust me, I have a way of telling the truth." Taro walked up to the two of them, his bow replaced with a gauntlet with a blade. After all, it wasn't very suitable to use a bow in combat indoors.

“Uh…” Leng Yihan grunted, then saw Taro raise his fist… “Stop, stop, stop! We’ll cooperate, we’ll cooperate, okay?”

"That would be for the best." Taro sneered, taking a step back, seemingly inviting the people around him... that is, the elders, to inquire.

"So, young man, I'd like to ask... what exactly is happening in the outside world right now?"

This is what I expected, right from the start.

"The demons have invaded us, and all the human cities have been occupied. Now, this is the only safe haven in the world." Hearing Leng Yihan's words, the elders looked at each other and finally looked at Taro.

"Are you telling the truth?" Taro frowned. "What? Can't you tell?" Leng Yihan replied with a smile. It was precisely because Taro could tell he wasn't lying that he couldn't believe that humanity had been ruled.

"Who are the strongest fighting forces in humankind?" someone else asked.

“Some of them betrayed us. Bai Xiuyue, a top human fighter, is dead. The others were either enslaved by the demons or fell into a spacetime rift.” As soon as Leng Yihan finished speaking, a fist appeared in front of him.

Fortunately, he was prepared and used the Big Dipper technique to successfully dodge Taro's punch. He did not continue to swing his sword. Leng Yihan forcibly interrupted the Big Dipper technique and stood at a certain distance from Taro. Leng Binglan also kept a certain distance from Taro for safety.

"Taro, you've gone too far." On the elders' platform, a man who looked quite like Taro said, his voice clearly accusing him.

"Tsk...Grandpa, I suspect this guy has some ability to prevent me from detecting lies. How could Bai Xiuyue, with his strength, possibly die? Doesn't that mean those monsters could have already invaded our homeland!" Taro said angrily, but Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan both heard something crucial—most of the people present had probably seen Bai Xiuyue, and (except for Leng Yihan) knew about Bai Xiuyue's strength.

Leng Yihan immediately looked at Leng Binglan, only to find her equally bewildered. "Young man, are you telling the truth?" Taro's grandfather's gaze shifted to Leng Yihan, and his oppressive aura followed, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

"What? You don't believe me? You should have sent people out to explore the outside world, right? Have they returned?" Leng Yihan said with difficulty, each word distinct, despite the oppressive aura. After a few seconds of silence, Grandpa Taro withdrew the oppressive aura from Leng Yihan.

"And what about you? Didn't you say that humanity has been enslaved by demons? Why are you still here? And you just mentioned betrayal..."

“I am not from this world. We are just visitors from another world who happen to be passing through this broken world,” Leng Yihan replied, walking to Leng Binglan’s side.

"A visitor from another world... Is there any proof? Also, my name is Teda, you can call me... Elder Teda." Teda said, while Leng Yihan took out her katana, the tip pointing at Taro.

"Lord Taro, I'd like to ask, what do you think of the difference in our strength?"

“My power is countless times greater than yours,” Taro said confidently, a conclusion he had drawn from their brief exchange.

"So, I'm saying... you can't possibly take my knife from me, do you believe me?" Leng Yihan asked, her smile clearly mocking. Taro didn't waste any words and rushed forward to dodge the knife.

Leng Yihan wasn't in a hurry. Taro directly gripped the blade. Leng Yihan also noticed that Taro's gauntlets were probably no ordinary thing either, as they couldn't be cut by a divine weapon. After all, they were legendary items.

After Taro grabbed the katana, he tried to pull it back. The force was indeed immense, and Leng Yihan probably couldn't snatch the sword with her own strength. However, the system had given her a causal skill.

[Skill: Switch between swords]

Skill Level: 1

[Cooldown: 2 seconds]

[Skill Effect: Sheathes the weapon in hand, then switches back to a sword/dagger.]

First and foremost, the most important description of this skill is at the beginning: sheathing the weapon in hand before switching weapons.

In other words, the system would definitely take the first action. Taro felt an immense force gripping the katana tightly. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it away with both hands. Then he saw Leng Yihan draw the katana and sheath it...

"This?!" Taro was stunned, and the people on the elders' seat were also shocked. Everyone had a deep understanding of Taro's strength, but an ordinary human had actually managed to break free from Taro's grip.

"See that? That's the ability of us visitors from another world. By the way, so is she." Leng Yihan gestured with her lips, indicating to Leng Binglan. Leng Binglan was incredibly intelligent and naturally understood how Leng Yihan had achieved it. She imitated her, extending her longsword towards Taro. Taro, refusing to believe it, gripped the sword again with both hands, his body growing larger and larger, roughly twice his size, before he tightly gripped the longsword.

"These gloves and clothes are pretty durable," Leng Yihan remarked with narrowed eyes. Leng Binglan also activated her skill, and her longsword broke free from Taro's hands, smoothly returning the sword to its sheath in a series of fluid movements.

"This……"

"Do you believe me now?" Leng Yihan looked at the man sitting in the middle. Among the group of elderly people, his middle-aged appearance was too conspicuous, and the data about him revealed who he was...

[NPC: Roach]

Race: Titan

【grade:???】

Current Health: ???

Attack power: ???

Defense: ???

[Special attack method: ???]

[Note: Believe me, this isn't a question mark; this guy is the only king of the Titans, only one level weaker than the Demon King.]

“Not bad, not bad, I believe you. After all, Taro’s current strength is even greater than mine at the same age, yet he couldn’t take your sword or this little girl’s blade.” Roach clapped. “Then I’d like to ask… why did you come into the Forest of the Fallen Demons, this extremely dangerous land for you? After all, even we wouldn’t dare to go out recklessly, because this path is just too dangerous…”

"Oh, I see. So you're trying to keep it a secret..." Leng Yihan paused, cleared her throat, and said, "Then I won't reveal that you definitely have a safe way out. As for why we came in... naturally, it's because the Demon King discovered that there were high-level humans among us, and then we just happened to run into him and were chased. Although only one last human organization is still alive..."

Upon hearing Leng Yihan's words, Luo Qi's expression changed, his eyes filled with surprise. Although this only lasted for a moment, it undoubtedly confirmed Leng Yihan's first statement—that the Titans had a safe way out.

“I’d like to ask, why do you think that? There must be a way out that’s safe for us,” Roach asked.

"Why?" Leng Yihan rolled her eyes. "Naturally, it was your elder who told me."

"Oh? I don't recall any of them leaking this information just now." Roach narrowed his eyes and glanced at the elders present.

“Yes, he didn’t say it directly. I just said, ‘You must have sent people out to explore the outside world, right? Have they returned?’ Elder Teda then withdrew his aura as if they could not possibly have died in the Forest of the Fallen Demons and must have been killed by the demons. That’s why I made this guess. And what makes me certain is you.”

“Is that so… Haha… Hahahaha…” For some reason, Roach suddenly burst into laughter, and it was a wild laugh, but he quickly calmed down. “I suppose you’re not a simple person either.”

"You're overthinking it. I'm just an ordinary person with good luck. This time, I can only say that I was lucky enough to guess correctly." Leng Yihan shrugged.

"So what's next? What are you planning to do?" Roach stood up and walked over to the two of them.

"Hehe, well~" Leng Yihan chuckled sheepishly, scratched her head sheepishly, and whispered in Luo Qi's ear, "Could you block the detection magic that's been monitoring us..."

"Oh?" Luo Qi raised his head, as if he had 'seen' something. With a wave of his hand, the audience's screens went black. Now everyone knew that it was definitely something Leng Yihan had commissioned an NPC to do. However, the audience was even more shocked that an NPC could actually do something like this...

But that's a story for another time. For over ten minutes, the screen remained black. But soon, the black screen ended, and Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan reappeared on the screen, standing on the Titan race's dueling platform. What they had said earlier was anyone's guess...

"Brother, I'll win, after all, we're evenly matched."

“Oh? Then you can give it a try?” Leng Yihan replied with a smile.

"Then I hereby announce... the match between Extreme Cold and Blue Moon shall now begin." The referee announced, and Cold Ice Blue drew her sword and rushed forward, showing no intention of summoning the Desolate Dragon. After all, the venue did not allow it, as Luo Qi had warned her about this. In any case, she was tricked by Leng Yihan. As for why... we'll talk about it later.

Leng Binglan activated both her ultimate efficiency and sword intent simultaneously, launching her ultimate move without any warning. She immediately unleashed the Phantom Invisible Sword to attack Leng Yihan. Although Leng Yihan was caught off guard, she was not about to be defeated by this move.

Leng Yihan activated her sword and shield, and began to recover her energy. She withstood Leng Binglan's damage, then used Silver Light Slash to teleport behind Leng Binglan, canceled the skill, and used an upward slash to launch Leng Binglan into the air.

Leng Binglan decisively used Silver Light Slash to break free from the floating state and teleported behind Leng Yihan, intending to attack him. However, she fell into Leng Yihan's trap. Leng Yihan used an extremely strange posture to counter with Rising Dragon Slash, knocking Leng Binglan away.

Leng Binglan had already activated her sword intent and Silver Light Slash, but couldn't use her Qi recovery skill. She was then subjected to a full barrage of damage and control. Big Dipper followed up, and Leng Binglan, who was about to unleash a Shadow Cross combo, suddenly lost her target again. Predicting the location of the seventh sword (I may not have explained this in detail, but while Big Dipper is invincible during its release, the invincibility ends by the seventh sword), she used Rising Dragon Slash. Leng Yihan deliberately took the hit, activated her sword intent to break free of control, and used the Blizzard effect of her Greatsword Snow Strike, switching to a Greatsword Triple Slash to strike Leng Binglan.

Leng Binglan retreated, not daring to take Leng Yihan's combo head-on. She wanted to rush out of the blizzard's range first, but Leng Yihan immediately followed up with the third three-stage slash and used the uppercut again. Leng Binglan immediately activated her energy recovery, and her health instantly returned to full. She used her sword slash to strike Leng Yihan, but he successfully blocked it, taking away the full damage.

The Cold Blue Blade Storm wanted to follow up, but Leng Yihan used Rising Dragon Slash again. It was clear that the greatsword's special effect had refreshed the attack, so it had to give up the idea and use the Big Dipper to dodge the attack.

She didn't complete the full seven strikes, but stopped on the third strike, trying to retreat quickly. However, Leng Yihan suddenly used a sword strike, catching Leng Binglan just as she finished recovering her energy, and pushed her out of the blizzard's range.

The six-pointed sword formation slowed Leng Binglan down. Leng Yihan activated the weapon effect of her greatsword, ignoring Leng Binglan's sword storm, and delivered a horizontal slash to her waist. Leng Binglan reacted quickly and instead of trying to take the hit head-on, she switched to a short sword and used a three-stage slash to dodge the attack.
