At this mont, Zhang Lianng continued, "Young man, please wait a mont."
Han Xing slowly stopped his steps, frowning, "What’s the matter now?"
Seemingly hearing the impatience in Han Xing’s tone, Zhang Lianng said nervously, "Well, can I join you in doing this hidden mission?"
Han Xing frowned.
Seeing this, Zhang Lianng quickly explained, "Don’t... don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I’m suddenly backing out, but I rembered sothing related to the mission..."
"What is it? Speak." Han Xing’s tone was sowhat impatient.
Zhang Lianng cautiously said, "This fragnt, I discovered it by chance while exploring a Sky Island."
"Inside, there was a goblin camp. After defeating that group of goblins, I found an iron cage in the camp, and inside was a very terrifying person..."
"That person was huddled on the ground, with blood holes all over their body, yet not a drop of blood was coming out, skinnier than a bag of bones!"
As she spoke, Zhang Lianng seed to recall sothing terrifying, her delicate body shuddering slightly, "I... I originally wanted to save them, but as soon as I opened the iron cage, that person suddenly grabbed my arm!"
"Their hand was colder than ice, and I was terrified."
"Then, without a word, they used their own blood to draw a mark on my wrist!"
"They said that there is a hidden location here, and only with this mark and that weapon fragnt can the Giant Stone Gate be opened, and the mission started."
"After saying that, the person died..."
"So, I feel that if I’m not involved in this mission, it might not be completed."
After hearing Zhang Lianng’s account, Han Xing widened his eyes, "Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Han Xing’s questioning caused Zhang Lianng to shiver in fright, lowering her head, not daring to speak.
Realizing he was being a bit harsh, Han Xing softened his tone, "Let see the mark on your arm."
Zhang Lianng obediently rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair arm, bringing it closer to Han Xing’s face.
On the wrist, Han Xing indeed saw a blood-colored mark, resembling a symbol, or so strange script.
Han Xing nodded, and after pondering for a mont, he said, "Alright, you’ll join in this mission, but let be clear, all the rewards from this mission belong to ."
"And as compensation, once the mission is completed, I can escort you to your man. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lianng couldn’t contain her joy, nodding vigorously like a pecking chick.
"Okay, okay!"
Han Xing nodded, then returned to his Sky Island Territory and slowly departed.
Seeing Zhang Lianng still standing there in a daze, he said, "Keep up."
Zhang Lianng hastily maneuvered her Sky Island Territory to follow.
Han Xing was decisive in action, and once he decided to do this mission, he imdiately started.
anwhile, standing on the territory, he fiddled with a piece of fragnt in his hand, emitting a golden hue, mumbling, "Gold lting Cannon? Sounds like a long-range weapon, its power should not be weak."
"If I can get it, placing it on the territory could greatly enhance the attack capacity."
The two Sky Islands continued moving one after the other.
After Han Xing rescued Zhang Lianng, ti had reached night.
However, shortly after proceeding, Zhang Lianng suddenly noticed her territory distancing further from Han Xing’s, her territory’s speed seemingly much slower than Han Xing’s.
This was because her Level was two levels lower than Han Xing’s, and her territory’s advancent speed was naturally slower, combined with Han Xing having a 10% speed bonus from the Lord’s Castle, which quickly left this woman behind.
"Please, please wait for ..."
From afar, Han Xing heard Zhang Lianng’s shouting.
Helplessly, he had to temporarily stop his Sky Island, waiting for her for a mont.
Han Xing turned back, seeing Zhang Lianng gritting her teeth, striving to catch up to him.
Han Xing shook his head, then adjusted the speed of his Sky Island to nearly match Zhang Lianng’s Sky Island.
Now, Zhang Lianng finally felt much more at ease.
They continued advancing for four hours.
It was now deep night.
According to Han Xing’s habit, it was ti to prepare for rest.
Thus, he stopped progressing.
Behind, Zhang Lianng cautiously maneuvered her Sky Island Territory to rge with Han Xing’s territory.
Zhang Lianng asked nervously, "Why have we stopped?"
Han Xing shook his head, "It’s not early, and the coordinates on this tal fragnt are quite distant. At a conservative estimate, it will take five to six hours to reach it, so we’ll rest for now."
"Traveling at night is not very safe, let’s continue tomorrow."
Hearing Han Xing’s words, Zhang Lianng also breathed a sigh of relief.
She indeed was exhausted.
First escaping death from that group of Kobolds, then continuously traveling for over four hours, both her spirit and body were at their limits.
At this mont, Han Xing noticed Zhang Lianng’s exceptionally pale complexion.
He looked at her body and saw that the wounds on her abdon and shoulder were still oozing blood.
At this point, an odd feeling arose in Han Xing’s heart.
This woman, dragging such an injured body, had been striving to keep up with him, he had to admit it was quite impressive.
No matter how stone-hearted Han Xing was, he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sympathy.
So, Han Xing asked, "Why aren’t you using the Life Secret Elixir to heal your wounds?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lianng appeared confused at first, then a bit too embarrassed to speak, "I... I don’t have any Life Secret Elixir..."
