An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

Gray Snake snapped out of his daze, looked at Ya Feng, his lips twitched, and for a moment seemed to have lost all his strength. He sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a smoke ring.

The next moment, the golden spear flew out of his hand and pierced through his chest.

Chapter 70 Familiar Crystal Core

The pierced gray snake's corpse tilted and fell off the roof, crashing to the ground.

The ghostly realm shattered completely, turning into scattered fragments that drifted down, and the surrounding street buildings collapsed one by one.

Hikaria then realized that she had wandered into a forest, quite far from the city.

"Well..."

She groaned in pain, and the life force that had given her renewed strength vanished once more, replaced by intense pain all over her body.

However, it seems that the life force has already removed its toxicity, leaving only a feeling of detachment due to exhaustion.

Ya Feng quickly walked over, squatted down in front of her, and placed his hand on her shoulder. A gentle holy light slowly flowed into her body, which restored Hilaria to health.

Then another healing spell was cast, gradually healing Hikaria's wounds.

However, Ya Feng was not a priest after all, and could only use a second-tier healing spell at most to treat her wounds simply.

"Teacher..." she tried to stand up.

"You rest first, we can talk about it later," Ya Feng said.

“Yes…” Hikaria sat back down, and seeing that Ya Feng no longer needed to worry about anything.

Ya Feng arrived at the corpse of the gray snake, and the corpse of the big-headed familiar was also lying to the side.

Seeing that the other party was from the Hand of Annihilation, he could roughly guess what had happened.

First, isolate this area using magic to prevent city patrols from discovering anything unusual.

After feeling around inside, he found a small storage bag. It turned out to be in pretty good condition. Although its capacity was smaller than his own, its internal space magic was stable and its capacity would not decrease with use, making it essentially infinitely durable.

Storage space isn't something that can be created simply by having powerful magic; it requires a long time. To put it figuratively, it's like taking a small chisel and hollowing out an incredibly hard piece of obsidian to turn it into a box that can hold things.

Only through gradual expansion, stabilization, and sealing can a storage space be created that can be used stably.

Long-lived species like Zeshita can spend over a hundred years slowly creating their own storage space, while Ya Feng has only been around for a little over two years, so he shouldn't even think about that.

So, this is a good thing.

Ya Feng was pleasantly surprised. This magic artifact alone was something that money couldn't buy, let alone what good things were inside.

He first cast a sealing spell on the storage bag, severing its connection with the gray snake, before beginning to probe it with his senses.

There are quite a few spell scrolls inside, the highest being tier six, and they are all in very good condition.

However, it takes up a bit of space for him. After all, scrolls are meant to allow you to quickly and accurately release spells, and for Ya Feng, who casts spells without chanting, their effect is roughly equivalent to the robot's W.

Besides these, there are a few magical artifacts, all of which have effects that amplify status or increase attack power, with the highest rank being Heavenly Craftsmanship.

And the tokens and scriptures of the Hand of Annihilation.

What remained was a large amount of food and hundreds of thousands of gold francs in cash.

He set the storage bag aside, intending to cleanse it afterward, once the source of the magical aura emanating from the Hand of Annihilation was completely severed. He planned to give the scrolls and magical artifacts inside to Hikaria, but he would keep the infinitely durable storage bag for himself.

As for his current storage bag, it would be perfect for Hikaria to use.

Another thing is...

Ya Feng shifted his gaze to the dead familiar on the side.

It was like a pillow appearing just when he was looking for a pillow; he was currently troubled by a familiar crystal core. The source beast was due to hatch in about two weeks, but the familiar crystal core needed to establish a contract with the familiar was still nowhere to be found.

Unlike monster cores, which can be farmed in ruins or great forests, familiars are the contracted beasts of mages, and their numbers are already scarce. Only familiars of the Apostle level or above will produce cores. These things are not as common as Pikachu on the roadside.

Fortunately, he encountered it.

He crouched down, raised his hand, and golden chains shot out from the void, binding Soler's corpse. With a hissing sound, Soler's corpse evaporated, and after a moment, only an irregular dark purple crystal remained on the ground.

The higher the rank of the familiar core, the more precious it is. This legendary one is enough for me.

Ya Feng put it away, shook his hand, and vines emerged from the ground, coiling around the gray snake's body and dragging it underground. A moment later, the grass returned to normal, leaving nothing behind.

He then got up and went to Hikaria's side.

"He was probably the last one to escape from the royal city. Now that he's dead, we don't have to worry about being harassed by them anymore."

"Hmm..." Hikaria nodded.

Upon seeing Ya Feng, an unprecedented sense of peace welled up within me. Nothing could be more joyful than surviving a calamity.

"Teacher, how did you find out about me?" Hikaria asked.

Ya Feng paused for a moment, then pointed to her light-controlling bracelet.

"This is the one I used before. I left a trace of my aura on it so that I can sense you immediately if you encounter danger."

Hearing that Hikaria had fallen silent, he immediately checked the information on his bracelet and discovered that she was trapped in the Ghost Realm.

Hikaria looked at the bracelet, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

This roughly means that Ya Feng can monitor her to some extent.

This was all thanks to this; otherwise, I would have been trapped here and died.

If this level of security can be obtained in exchange, then this level of surveillance is nothing to her.

"Thank you, teacher," she said sincerely.

"Alright, let's go back quickly, we... cough cough, I mean your mother is getting impatient."

"Um..."

Hikaria clutched her chest.

Having survived the ordeal, the person she wants to see most now is her mother...

...

Inside the apartment.

"Mr. Ya Feng has been gone for quite some time now..."

Standing by the window, Elina looked down at the road below, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Elina, with Afeng here, Hikaria will be fine," Ilsa reassured her.

The room was now filled with the rich aroma of fish soup, and the red snapper simmering in the pot had turned a milky white color.

The dishes are almost ready. Except for the dishes that require spices that Hikaria needs to buy, the rest are already laid out on the table.

Elina looked at the dimly lit street corner with streetlights, pursed her lips, and looked worried.

But then a thunderous roar of an iron dragon rang out, and Ya Feng appeared from the intersection with Hikaria in his car, stopping in front of the apartment building.

"Hickey!"

Elina immediately ran downstairs and saw Ya Feng helping Hikaria walk towards her. Ilsa quickly followed.

"What happened? How, how did you get injured like this?" Elina cried out in disbelief.

Hikaria was covered in wounds, her clothes were dirty and stained with blood, as if she had just been in a fight. She had a wound on her calf and was limping as she was helped over by Ya Feng.

"Here's what happened. While Hikaria was waiting for me, she saw several rabid dogs attacking two children. She went to protect them, and ended up getting injured herself," Ya Feng said.

He had treated Hikaria's injuries with healing magic, except for the poison wound on her leg, which couldn't heal immediately.

“XiXi…”

Eline stepped forward to help her daughter, but Hikaria suddenly threw herself into her arms, hugging her mother tightly, her chest heaving violently.

Chapter 71 He's still just a child.

“XiXi…”

Elena looked at her daughter in her arms, her azure eyes lowered.

Hikaria hugged her mother for a moment, then looked up, suppressing her emotions, and forced a smile:

"I'm sorry, Mom, I made you worry. Oh, by the way, everything you need to buy is here."

Hikaria took out her handbag, which contained the spices she had bought again.

Elina looked at her daughter with heartache and hugged her.

“Thank you, Mr. Ya Feng, I’m sorry to have troubled you,” Elina said to him.

"It's okay, let's go up first and talk about it later."

Then he took Hikaria upstairs.

After letting Hikaria sit on the sofa, Eline quickly fetched a home medical kit, brought in hot water, and knelt down beside Hikaria to treat her wounds.

As the ointment was applied to the wound, Hikaria couldn't help but shrink back, her body trembling.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Elina asked, bending down to gently blow on her wound before applying the medicine with even more care.

“Although I’m very happy that Xixi did something brave, you still need to ensure your own safety first. I won’t be able to accept it if anything happens to you,” she said softly.

“I understand, Mom…” Hikaria said softly.

Ilsa looked at Ya Feng to the side, her eyes questioning him.

Ya Feng simply shook his head slightly, indicating that he would talk to you about it when he got back.

"Alright, Xixi, go take a shower first, and I'll bandage you up after you're done." Elina disinfected her wound, applied waterproof ointment, and then got up to say this.

Standing in front of Hikaria, he cupped her face in his hands and examined her closely.

"Come on, let Mom take a look..."

She checked her daughter for the other injuries.

Hikaria looked at her mother in front of her, opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't hold back anymore. She could no longer remain calm, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She threw herself into Eline's arms and hugged her tightly.

"Mom...Mom...I'm really...really scared...so terrified..." she cried out, sounding like a wronged child yearning for her mother's comfort.

"XiXi..." Elina lowered her eyes, gently hugged her, and patted her back to comfort her.

"Yes, it's okay, Mom is here."

Kalia held her tightly, sobbing. She had been holding back all along, and after escaping the brink of death to return to her mother's side, she just wanted to release all the fear and despair she had been suppressing.

Ya Feng watched this scene, sighed deeply, and then looked at Ilsa beside him.

"Mom, I'm scared too..."

“Idiot…” Ilsa glared at him, but couldn’t help asking:

"Are you alright?"

If I told you that I had suffered severe psychological trauma, would you hold my head and say, "Sweetie, don't cry"?

"slightly!"

Hikaria had cried enough. She slightly raised her head, her eyes still red.

She shifted her gaze slightly and saw that Ilsa and Afong were watching her, both with subtle expressions on their faces.

Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly buried her face in her mother's arms.

I never expected that Hikaria, who usually seems strong, calm, and meticulous, would have such a soft side, crying and acting spoiled in her mother's arms.

Ilsa thought to herself.

“XiXi actually really likes to act cute with me. In the past, if she was wronged, the first thing she would do was come home and hug me and cry. She would only feel happy if she was hugged and kissed.” Elina smiled gently.

“Mom!” Hikaria, her face full of shame, gently punched her mother’s shoulder.

"Alright, go take a shower. Dinner is ready. Mr. Ya Feng and his family are visiting today, so we can't keep them waiting," Elina said.

"Yes, I've been wanting to try Mrs. Elena's cooking for a long time." Ya Feng sniffed, smelling the rich aroma wafting from the kitchen.

"Mm." Hikaria nodded, wiped away her tears, and got up to go to the bathroom.

"Hey, let me see which mom's cooking is better." Ya Feng also went to the dining table, rubbing his hands together as he looked at the dazzling array of dishes.

"Keep your voice down!" Ilsa whispered in embarrassment.
