As dusk approached,
beneath the gentle, colorful clouds, two figures slowly walked towards the Adventurers' Guild in Blackwater Town. They were Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
"This is great!"
Ye Feng was very happy at the moment. Firstly, he had spent the entire afternoon toiling in that patch of thorns and obtained a full seventeen Space Rift Fragments. kA nsh u w u. xà
Secondly, he had been continuously training his body in various ways along the way and had broken through from Silver intermediate to Silver advanced!
Xiao Xiao's face was flushed. She had also jumped into the thorns today to train her reaction speed and adaptability. Moreover, she discovered that her flames could also harm gargoyles...
This also surprised Ye Feng greatly. Back in the Red Shore Ruins, he had seen someone using fire-attribute arcane energy attacks, but they had no effect...
"It seems that the fire-attribute arcane energy Xiao Xiao has mastered has something special about it!"
Recalling the scene of Xiao Xiao attacking Wang Batian with fire-attribute arcane energy before, Ye Feng muttered to himself.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes lit up, his expression quite surprised.
Because he saw a woman with black silk wrapped around her eyes, who was the Saintess he had met last night.
What surprised Ye Feng was that despite the rugged road here, with pits and holes everywhere, the woman with the black silk blindfold walked very steadily.
And from beginning to end, she did not use a walking stick to feel her way, but merely held it gently in her hand, like a sword or some other weapon.
Ye Feng frowned slightly and strode forward.
"Miss Saintess... what a coincidence!~"
Ye Feng walked beside the woman with the black silk blindfold and awkwardly greeted her.
"Mmm~!"
The other party responded softly and continued to walk forward without saying more.
"That... Miss Saintess... you master all five major attribute variations of arcane energy, truly remarkable!"
"You... you are so beautiful..."
Ye Feng was the type of person who wasn't good at making conversation and immediately fell into awkward small talk.
"Is there something you need?"
At this moment, the woman with the black silk blindfold stopped and turned to face Ye Feng.
Although her eyes were covered with black silk, Ye Feng had a strange feeling, as if she was looking at him.
"Um... Miss Saintess, can you teach me how to master arcane energy attribute variations?"
Ye Feng got straight to the point, "I can go with you to that..."
But he stopped before he finished speaking because the woman's eyes suddenly emitted a purple light!
"So... such powerful energy... this energy might be able to..."
"Can you go to the Goblin Kingdom with me?"
The purple light flashed in the woman's eyes, and then, like a knight, she knelt on one knee and pleaded with Ye Feng.
"Uh..."
Ye Feng was about to ask her if she could take him to that Goblin Kingdom. He was momentarily taken aback by the woman's sudden change.
After all, he had inquired about the Goblin Kingdom this morning, and different people pointed in different directions... none of them were reliable...
"Huh?"
As Ye Feng was about to speak, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Because the Saintess was kneeling on one knee to speak to him, and Ye Feng, standing, looked down, he couldn't help but see a glimpse of fair, rounded curves within the Saintess's collar...
No, Ye Feng's gaze was fixed on the jade pendant hanging on the Saintess's chest, or rather, the pattern on it.
The jade pendant seemed to have been impacted and was slightly deformed. The pattern on it was something Ye Feng had seen in the Soul Capturer's Secret Record. It seemed to be some kind of directional indicator, but Ye Feng didn't know how to use it...
"I... I can give you anything you want, including... me!"
The Saintess seemed to sense Ye Feng's gaze, her cheeks flushing. She lowered her head slightly and spoke to Ye Feng in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
"Wh... what?"
Ye Feng was pondering clues about the treasure that might exist in the Fire Seed Record and the Soul Capturer's Secret Record. Hearing the Saintess's words, he was momentarily dazed.
"You... you misunderstood!"
Ye Feng, having realized, quickly waved his hands, "I... I'm not... I was just looking at the jade pendant on your chest... not looking at..."
"I... you should get up first!"
Ye Feng, feeling he was digging himself into a deeper hole, quickly asked the Saintess to stand up.
"Jade pendant?"
After standing up, the Saintess reached into her collar, took out the jade pendant, and looked at it with some confusion.
"Mmm!"
Ye Feng nodded, "Miss Saintess, may I take a closer look at this jade pendant?"
"My name is Yuan Ling!"
Saying that, the Saintess handed the jade pendant in her hand to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng immediately took it, feeling the residual warmth from the jade pendant, and his face blushed again.
"It really is like that... those strange directional indicators, missing the usage method?"
After examining it, Ye Feng understood why he couldn't decipher the directional indicator symbols in the Soul Capturer's Secret Record before; it was because he didn't know how to use them...
"Miss Saintess... Yuan... Yuan Ling... where did you get this jade pendant?"
"No, it's this strange rune on the jade pendant, where did it come from?"
The sudden change in address made Ye Feng a little unaccustomed.
"Rune?"
The Saintess Yuan Ling took back the jade pendant from Ye Feng, looked at the rune Ye Feng pointed to, and after recalling for a moment, slowly said, "I think I hit an altar while fighting a Goblin Shaman in the Goblin Kingdom, and it formed then!"
"Can you take me to that Goblin Kingdom then?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately followed up, his expression quite excited.
"Yes, I... I just invited you... just now..."
Yuan Ling's tone was filled with surprise and astonishment.
...
In the evening,
in the main hall of the Adventurers' Guild,
"Hey, young man, no matter what the reason, I admire your courage!"
"But the Goblin Kingdom is not a place you can go to with just courage; you need strength!"
When the armored man, Alak, learned that Ye Feng was going to the Goblin Kingdom with Yuan Ling, he immediately stepped forward and spoke to Ye Feng.
"Alak is a man of few words, but he's right this time!"
"Young man, don't let beauty cloud your judgment!"
"Young man, you are so young, I can understand you wanting to impress the beauty... but the Goblin Kingdom is really not a place to go!"
"If you dislike goblins, just kill some goblins nearby..."
...
As Alak finished speaking, many adventurers chimed in.
Ye Feng remained silent, instead extending his palm towards Alak and flexing his fingers, "You might not be as strong as me yet!"
Ye Feng's somewhat provocative tone and gesture instantly enraged Alak. Without a word, he stomped on the ground, his tall figure instantly appearing before Ye Feng, and his armored right fist swung towards Ye Feng's cheek, seemingly intending to teach Ye Feng a lesson.
Seeing this, Ye Feng did not dodge. He extended his left palm and reached directly for Alak's armor.
"Bang!"
A dull impact sound immediately rang out.
