"Go ahead, take care." Ye Lin stepped aside to let her pass, not wanting to argue with Zhuge Ni.
If one wants to live a happy life, there's a trick: don't argue with fools, and don't even try to communicate with them. Ye Lin always kept this principle in mind.
Zhuge Ni glanced at him. Seeing that Ye Lin was so cooperative, she didn't say anything more and strode past.
Just as Ye Lin thought he had sent off this trouble, Zhuge Ni suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Right, I was going to ask you. Have you seen anyone else pass by here? That person... is very powerful! And they are extremely skilled in using fire elements, and it's highly possible they have mastered the Flame of Retribution!" Zhuge Ni said, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
"Flame of Retribution?" !"
Ye Lin was at a loss for words. He finally understood why Zhuge Ni had come to him. It turned out that it was because he had just used the forbidden spell "Flame of the World" to light a bonfire.
So, the person Zhuge Ni was looking for was very likely to be him?
"Got it. That's a very handsome man. He went in that direction." Ye Lin hurriedly pointed in a random direction to send her away.
He really didn't want to be bothered by this stupid woman. It seemed that he could no longer use the forbidden spell "Flame of the World" in the future.
"Thank you."
Seeing that Ye Lin really wasn't going to pester her, Zhuge Ni's impression of him improved a little.
She walked in the direction Ye Lin pointed, but as she passed through the forest, two more moons suddenly appeared in the sky.
Three moons hung in the sky, looking extremely strange.
In the next moment, Zhuge Ni's pretty face turned deathly pale.
There weren't three moons at all. The extra two were actually the eyes of a huge beast!
With a terrifying roar, a huge claw came down directly towards Zhuge Ni's position.
Zhuge Ni dodged to the side, creating some distance from the beast, and only then did she get a clear look at the entire beast.
"Level 8 monster! Dragon Blood Beast!"
This place wasn't even at the core of the forest. Zhuge Ni couldn't understand why a Level 8 monster would appear here.
Her level had just broken through to Level 3. Facing a Level 8 Dragon Blood Beast, she was clearly no match.
Zhuge Ni couldn't help but turn her head towards Ye Lin's direction. If Ye Lin joined forces with her, they might not be able to kill the Level 8 Dragon Blood Beast, but it would be no problem for them to escape unscathed together.
But when she turned around, there was no sign of Ye Lin. He had long disappeared without a trace.
"This coward!"
Zhuge Ni gritted her silver teeth. The improved impression she had of Ye Lin just now instantly plummeted to the bottom.
It was obvious that Ye Lin had been so scared that he had abandoned her and fled the moment the Dragon Blood Beast appeared.
The Dragon Blood Beast attacked Zhuge Ni again, clearly treating her as its prey. Its huge body was like a mountain, giving an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
"Explosive Phoenix Fire!"
Zhuge Ni didn't dare to be careless. She immediately released her skill, and several high-temperature fireballs condensed beside her, smashing towards the Dragon Blood Beast.
The high-temperature fireballs instantly split and burst upon hitting the Dragon Blood Beast, burning several patches of its body.
However, such a degree of injury was far from enough to make the Dragon Blood Beast lose its combat ability. Instead, it completely enraged the beast.
Its eyes, which were like moons, turned blood red, and it slapped down again.
Zhuge Ni lifted her leg lightly and dodged the attack. Then, she immediately cast her skill, and a sea of phoenix fire rushed towards the Dragon Blood Beast.
This time, the Dragon Blood Beast didn't just sit there and wait for its fate. It opened its huge mouth and let out a roar that sounded like a dragon's cry.
Roar!
The terrifying sound waves seemed to have become solid, blocking all the phoenix fire Zhuge Ni had sent out in mid-air, and then they were even pushed back towards her.
What? !"
Zhuge Ni was shocked and pale. She had no time to dodge. The fireball she cast hit her own body squarely.
Her clothes were scorched, revealing large patches of snow-white skin, almost to the point of being indecently exposed.
But Zhuge Ni had no time to care about this. She looked at the dragon-blooded giant beast in terror.
A word suddenly flashed through her mind: death!
She would die!
If this continued, she would surely be eaten by this dragon-blooded giant beast. This creature was too powerful. It was not something a mere level 3 like her could handle.
At the moment of life and death, Zhuge Ni no longer had her usual cold demeanor. A look of panic appeared on her face.
As the giant beast's huge palm reached out to grab her, Zhuge Ni closed her beautiful eyes resignedly.
In this place, no one could save her. It was only the first day of the novice secret realm, and this level 8 dragon-blooded giant beast was an insurmountable obstacle for anyone.
Zhuge Ni was completely desperate. She never thought that she, a transmigrator of an SSS-level profession, would die so humiliated at the hands of an 8-level monster.
But after closing her eyes, the expected intense pain of being grasped by the dragon-blooded giant beast did not come. Instead, a deep and magnetic male voice came from beside her.
"Avenging Fire, Burn the Sky!"
With her eyes closed, Zhuge Ni felt a terrifying heat wave rush past her side.
The moment she opened her beautiful eyes, they were filled with shock. The scene before her was one she would never forget for the rest of her life.
The dragon-blooded giant beast, which she had thought was invincible, was completely covered in red and purple flames. It didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was quickly burned to ashes.
Instant kill!
This level 8 monster was instantly killed!
In front of Zhuge Ni, a man had his back to her, his entire body burning with blood-red flames.
This figure was deeply etched in Zhuge Ni's eyes and heart. As she looked, a dazed look appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her face flushed with an unusual redness.
Avenging Fire!
It was Avenging Fire again!
This man, wasn't he the nameless genius she had been looking for?
Which girl doesn't have a crush? Which girl doesn't hope that when she is in danger, a cold and handsome young man will come to her rescue?
With one strike, he easily killed an 8-level monster. This was in sharp contrast to Ye Lin's cowardly behavior of turning and running without a word.
Zhuge Ni couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sometimes the gap between people is even greater than the gap between humans and monsters.
"Thank you for saving my life, kind sir. May I ask your name?"
Zhuge Ni walked forward, her voice becoming very gentle. Ye Lin almost got goosebumps. He had never noticed before that this woman was so good at flattering.
Seeing that Ye Lin didn't respond, Zhuge Ni took another step forward, wanting to see what this man who could kill an 8-level monster with one strike and had been haunting her dreams looked like.
But to her disappointment, Ye Lin's face was covered with a black cloth, only his eyes could be seen.
Ye Lin thought for a moment and said.
"Call me Ling Ye. Ling as in the early morning, and Ye as in the night."
