Rhodes Island's off-road vehicles all have the most basic life-sustaining and sustaining devices. As the exclusive vehicle of one of the top leaders of Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Company, Noah Heavy Machine can do almost anything except transform into a motorized Pegasus and wield a Gatling gun to sweep away enemies.

When necessary, the Noah Heavy Machine can also be used as a defense against an attack.

Yan Ke unceremoniously rummaged through Noah Heavy Machinery's storage box and took out the essential medical supplies he needed.

Yan Ke was completely unaware that an artificial intelligence was standing on a heavy motorcycle, looking down at him. Yin Lianhua raised her hand to compare herself to the 1.9-meter-tall Yan Ke, then to herself standing on the higher ground, and gave him an extremely disdainful smile, her idiocy overflowing the screen.

Rhodes Island...

Yan Ke stared at the trademark on the medicine, holding it in his hand, lost in thought.

"boom--!!"

Just then, a loud roar erupted outside the factory, and shattered rocks rained down from the sky.

Almost instinctively, Yan Ke placed his hand on the scabbard at his waist, drew his sword, and shattered the stone that was about to hit the girls.

"Tsk!"

Sonia gripped her short axe tightly. Her reaction was more than a beat slower than Yanke's. By the time she came to her senses, she saw the stone bricks being chopped down. If she had only been hit, even if she had been smashed in the head and bleeding profusely, she wouldn't have said a word. But Yanke had not only protected her, but also her companions. Despite her resentment, Sonia quietly said thank you.

Yan Ke did not respond; he cautiously observed the source of the rubble.

The swordsman slowly closed his eyes, sensing the aura of the powerful figure, and finally realized the source of the oppressive feeling he was experiencing.

The perfect whetstone is right here!

Yan Ke suddenly turned around and explained to the seemingly intelligent and calm blue-haired girl how to use the medicines. Contrary to his fierce appearance, he was remarkably patient when explaining how to use the medicines, even though his expression clearly showed he was eager to rush out, he still responsibly finished explaining before leaving.

"What an incredible person..."

Anna lowered her head and, following the man's instructions, first removed Rada's clothes. Fragments of her school uniform top, torn by the bone blade, were stuck to the girl's wounds. Anna carefully picked them up, preventing them from sticking together. Each time Anna did this, Rada would wince in pain, but this time she didn't cry, trying her best to hold back.

Sonia seemed unable to bear it any longer, so she stood up straight and stood guard beside them.

If more monsters attack, she will never back down again, and she will charge forward even if she has to do it alone!

As Anna sprayed first aid mist on Rada's wounds, the youngest child grabbed Anna's wrist before losing consciousness.

"Rada... we don't need that much, leave it for Sister Rosalind."

Chapter 108 Critical Dragon Shattering

"Secret Staff - Quick Charge!"

A pale red streak of light pierced the sky, striking the slime monster precisely in the head, joints, and lower body.

The real matter fell into the slime monster's body like a series of bullets falling into a pool of water, splashing up countless slime molds that scattered across the ground.

The dark green mud quickly underwent a self-heating reaction, turning into a vibrant orange-red, as if beckoning the young man to come and have some fun.

What a load of rubbish!

Lin Lu hadn't forgotten that this thing could explode, so he quickly turned around and retreated from his original position. A series of explosions followed closely behind him; if he had been even a step slower, he might have been left behind.

With the aid of anti-gravity magic, Lin Lu felt as light as a feather in the air and was able to easily adjust his body balance.

A pale red flame stream carried Lin Lu's body as he rose high into the air, avoiding the barrage of fragments from the continuous explosions.

This is so annoying! This thing is thirty times more troublesome than I imagined! Not only is it impossible to get close, but even hitting its locked position with spells doesn't do much damage. Although it looks like a giant, its body structure isn't human; even if you blow its head off, it can still mumble and regenerate. The splattered mud even explodes! What on earth does this monster eat to grow up like this?!

It has no pain feedback, but possesses intelligence comparable to humans, and it can even play cards!

If you can't use a Field Spell Card, do you activate a Trap Card instead? Does that mean you'll have to set up Monster Cards next?!

"Hs...hs..."

After a chaotic rampage, the disoriented slime finally realized that prey had entered its hunting grounds and immediately let out a deep, excited roar.

The slime monster's body transformed from the shape of a clay giant into a four-legged, hunched behemoth with massive horns resembling flat hammers on its head. Its mud turned a light green, as if it were wearing a layer of armor. Its 1.5-meter-long arms continuously emitted mud, which heated and solidified into fists no less powerful than iron.

"Phase Two?"

Lin Lu floated upside down in mid-air, his hands gripping the staff. His exquisite skill allowed him to master this extraordinary Originium Arts with practiced ease. It was as if he had cast countless anti-gravity spells before, able to resonate freely with it and feel a certain inexplicable sense of familiarity.

A new piece of information suddenly came from the long-silent Spirit Realm. Lin Lu glanced at it subconsciously and saw that there was one more person in his combat range.

"Who is it? I didn't send out a distress signal. These days, most people who participate in rescue missions are actors... and a katana-wielding hero?! Oh no, we're going to lose three cats."

Lin Lu glanced at the newcomer, his gaze inadvertently landing on the man's exquisitely slender waist—a waist so perfect even women would envy—with two sword sheaths slung across it. He immediately realized this man wasn't just a katana user, but a dual-katana user. Dual-katana users are great, the current meta's chosen one! A flurry of demonic energy combined with a back rub—double the fun! He just wondered what attributes this guy's dual swords possessed.

According to Lin Lu's judgment, this slime monster is an ultimate Frankenstein's monster with explosive, fire, and water attributes.

The best way to deal with this monster is to use ice, and the worst is fire.

Unfortunately, when Lin Lu reviewed the entire list of frontline combat operators in his mind, not a single one of them was proficient in ice magic.

If only Yelena were here... Wait, who is Yelena?

Lin Lu blinked, feeling that his memories were somewhat confused. It seemed that after extracting the unknown substances from the ghost shark, some obscure things were creeping up on him.

It felt like accidentally, completely unintentionally, without any ulterior motives, just randomly clicking on a website with a peculiar color. What greeted you were friendly greetings from young and mature women from Asia and Europe; if you weren't satisfied, you could even choose anime and cartoons. But your healthy smile lasted less than two minutes before your antivirus software kindly informed you that you'd been infected, and it gave up, telling you to go to hell. Immediately afterward, your computer crashed with a blue screen—a blue screen of calcium, a delicious kind of calcium.

Don't ask me why I know so much about this; it's because I've seen it all.

Rhodes Island?

Yan Ke's gaze fell on the girl who could fly freely in the air, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sure enough, the source of the oppressive feeling that terrified me was this girl—the monster she was fighting!

How could this seemingly frail little girl, who could break a leg with a single press of her hands, possibly be an opponent that made his spine tingle and his legs weak? You must know, he is a swordsman who survived the entire Sarkaz Civil War in Kazdel. There is only one person in this world who can make him feel fear, and that is the peerless swordsman who cut off his left horn.

Unfortunately, that person was narrowly defeated in the civil war and vanished without a trace, his fate unknown—no, that person must still be alive, he must be alive! Otherwise, what have I been honing my swordsmanship for the past three years for? Wasn't it so that one day I could avenge myself and personally kill him…

Flamebringer's golden eyes flashed with fighting spirit as he looked at the armored monster that had shrunk to four meters tall and drew his twin swords.

This blade beheaded two princes, while another pierced and killed three generals. On this chaotic land, anything can happen. Yan Ke didn't know who would take his life, but he hoped the process would be more exciting than the killing itself.

Yan Ke wanted to challenge this kind of monster. He wanted to use all the strong people he met as whetstones to hone his swordsmanship to the extreme.

Only by constantly approaching death can one truly understand the meaning of life.

"Let's begin."

Yanke raised his twin swords above his head and swung them down heavily, unleashing Originium Arts.

Blood-red flames surged from the blade, and he revealed an extremely arrogant smile.

Little did they know that someone floating in the sky had a bitter expression on their face, and their pigtails swayed as they hung down.

"Fire-attribute dual swords...aren't they just asking to be sent to their deaths? And they still dare to try and get a taste of the tempered beasts? How embarrassing."

It feels like fighting a cute little dragon, only to have a random passerby dressed as a dragon appear.

On that day, people recalled the fear of the Five Beads Challenge mission being ruined by the passing actor Three Cats, and the humiliation of having zero mission attempts.

"Roar!!!"

The slime monster roared violently, billowing steam from its body as the intense heat solidified the mud. Ferocious stripes flowed across its dark green armor, and its thick hind legs and iron fists resembling two fried chicken legs exuded an aura of majesty. Add to that its flat, hammer-like head, and it was practically a bulldozer incarnate.

After a deafening roar, the bulldozer began shoveling dirt, its massive iron fists pounding the ground repeatedly, causing the earth to tremble incessantly. It was as if someone was there to provide the soundtrack for "Ora Ora Ora!"

Lin Lu had initially wanted to laugh at the monster's floor-crawling antics, wondering if it was trying to make him laugh to death. However, the mud that had previously covered the ground began to change color; the Field Spell Card had finally taken effect. The ground changed from brown to light green… dark green… followed by an incredibly glaring orange-red.

"Get out!"

Lin Lu immediately roared out, issuing a warning to the dual-wielding swordsman.

He instinctively tried to leap into the air, but a message popped up from the Spirit Realm.

Within the area covered by slime mold, separated by a wall, two injured Ursus girls were unable to escape.

Chapter 109 Quality Visitors

Lin Lu has one distinctive feature.

The more urgent the moment, the calmer his mind becomes, and the clearer his thoughts become.

The world seemed to quiet down; the thunderous pounding of the ground disappeared without a trace, and gradually no other sounds could be heard.

As far as Lin Lu could see, everything became peaceful, like a park on a summer afternoon, filled with a serene atmosphere. Even though it was nighttime, even though the hellish scene was right before his eyes, even though slime mold capable of melting iron was everywhere. This mud looked like lava, and the bright red bioluminescent fungus illuminated the night in Chernobog's upper town like daytime.

"...The deep spiritual realm is reflected in reality?"

Lin Lu pondered whether the changes in time were related to him.

He did not use the power of Ibitas's favor, nor did he summon the astrolabe, but the passage of time did change, becoming incredibly slow.

What Lin Lu didn't know was... that this was his power, and one of the reasons why Ibitas cherished him.

He and He shared the same scent; he and She should have been superiors.

In Lin Lu's perception, the mud monster's swinging iron fists and heavy landings seemed like hitting cotton, powerless and cumbersome. The pillar-like fists slowly sank into the mud, then were slowly pulled out, like an old man in a park practicing Tai Chi, incredibly leisurely.

Not only that, even the Twin Swordsman who broke into the midfield was slowed down and became sluggish. Lin Lu could see the smile on his face gradually turn into a serious expression. He crossed his two katanas, which were wreathed in blood flames, in front of him, but his legs swayed in the earth-shaking tremors and he could not maintain his balance.

Lin Lu looked into the distance.

Synchronized with his spiritual realm and visual field, Lin Lu could see Noah's heavy machinery speeding towards the three girls inside the factory.

In a world where the flow of time is slowed down, only Lin Lu and Yin Lianhua can maintain their ultra-high-speed thought processes. They are as if connected, inseparable. Their calculations and processing accelerate like evaporation, and one can almost smell a burnt odor – the price of transcending the laws of nature.

Hundreds of meters apart, separated by a fragile wall, Lin Lu and Yin Lianhua's eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts.

The anemone was like a tapeworm in Lin Lu's stomach, and also a guiding light in his mind.

She knew everything he was thinking.

Defense comes.

The Noah motorcycle shielded the girls from the side; as long as Noah's armor wasn't penetrated, the kids wouldn't get hurt.

Anemone even had time to pose, leaning back against Noah's motorcycle, stretching her proud figure like a model preparing for a fashion magazine shoot.

There was not a trace of worry on her face. Anemone believed in the Doctor from the bottom of her heart; she was sure the Doctor had the ability to resolve this crisis.

For the former Doctor, such a battle was merely a trivial part of countless missions.

Trust him, have expectations of him, and wait for him.

As the doctor's AI maid, Anemone only needs to do this.

The slime monster slowly raised its heavy fist, and the deep red mud covered the area around the factory, almost reaching the critical point.
