Lin Qingyan jumped off the boulder, stepping lightly on the stones like a dragonfly on water to reach Jiang Yuan's side.
"Average."
"If I had made a move, it wouldn't have taken this long at all." she said proudly.
The future Qingyan Empress would never be outdone.
"Yes, yes, you're amazing," Jiang Yuan casually agreed, looking at his increased level and the 16 merit points on his record card, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
As expected, leveling up by killing monsters is faster!
Lin Qingyan saw his expression, felt annoyed, and decided to find an opportunity to let him witness her power and thoroughly shock him.
"What should we do with these Abyssal Beast corpses?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Throw them away, do you want to carry them?"
"It feels like such a waste..."
"You can take them," Lin Qingyan sneered, "or start a fire and eat them now, that way it won't be a waste."
"..."
Didn't expect her tongue to be quite sharp.
The two continued deeper into the Abyss, setting rules along the way.
"When encountering an Abyssal Beast, both sides take turns attacking, and dropped equipment and Materials are exclusively for the killer."
"The other person can only watch from the side, and must not interfere with the other party or steal experience points."
This was also to prevent the two from fighting over experience.
"Speaking of which, Lin, School Beauty, aren't you a Healer? Do you have a way to kill Abyssal Beasts by yourself?"
"Aren't you the same? I've never seen a normal Assassin change classes and deal forty thousand damage at LV2."
"Looks like we both have quite a few secrets."
As the two spoke, they suddenly dodged to the side simultaneously.
"Whoosh!" A one-meter-long sharp black spike shot out from underground.
"Rumble."
The ground ahead suddenly shook violently, earth and stone cracked open, and a two-meter-tall giant lizard crawled out from it, its back covered in sharp barbs.
[Abyss monster]: Earth-Cracking Lizard.
[Grade]: Normal.
[Level]: LV6.
[Skill]: Barbed Shot.
[Note]: A creature with some intelligence, vile and cunning, fond of launching sneak attacks from underground.
"This time it's my turn." Lin Qingyan stepped forward with her hands in her jacket pockets.
Jiang Yuan looked at her exceptionally beautiful back and was also a little curious about what confidence she had that made her dare to enter the Abyss alone.
Lin Qingyan stood ten meters in front of the Abyssal Beast, and although she was only wearing casual jeans and a black hooded jacket, it still couldn't hide her beautiful figure, long legs, perky buttocks, and a waist that could be spanned with a hand, especially the hint of snow-white jade neck revealed beneath the black jacket, which was mesmerizing.
But the Abyssal Beast wouldn't care if you were beautiful or ugly; in its eyes, humans were all food.
"Hiss hiss..." The Earth-Cracking Lizard let out a sharp sound from its mouth, and its thick forelegs slammed forward, shaking the ground, and a crack quickly spread towards Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan tilted her head back, her black hair fluttering in the wind, her exquisite little face under the baseball cap was undisturbed, and her dreamy ice-blue eyes held a hint of indifference, majesty, and dominance.
Her cherry lips moved slightly.
"Stop."
The crack that had spread to her feet seemed to have heard a divine command and stopped instantly!
The Earth-Cracking Lizard was clearly stunned for a moment, tilting its head in confusion, not understanding why.
Jiang Yuan's eyes also flickered slightly.
Lin Qingyan spoke again.
"Freeze."
The temperature around the Earth-Cracking Lizard suddenly plummeted, starting to freeze from its limbs, then spreading, completely encasing it in ice.
"Shatter."
Clang!
Like shattering crystal, the ice block encasing the Earth-Cracking Lizard instantly shattered into countless pieces, and its health bar above its head was cleared to zero.
Until its death, this Earth-Cracking Lizard had no idea what happened, completely bewildered.
"Feels a bit like a Spellcaster..." Jiang Yuan thought to himself as he watched Lin Qingyan, who was showing signs of leveling up, judging that her changed class was at least Epic grade.
Lin Qingyan bent down and picked up a bracelet from a pile of ice shards.
"Good luck, an equipment dropped, but unfortunately it's normal."
She casually threw it away.
Jiang Yuan was startled, "You don't want it?"
"Normal equipment is completely unnecessary for me to pick up," Lin Qingyan glanced at him sideways, saying proudly.
"If you want it, you can have it."
Jiang Yuan actually bent down and picked it up, putting it into his backpack slot.
These rich people really know how to waste money, you know, even a normal piece of equipment can sell for at least tens of thousands.
Only a fool wouldn't want it.
He looked up again.
He found that Lin Qingyan was no longer there.
From a distance came the girl's majestic and cold voice, as if commanding heaven and earth.
"Lightning Strike."
Lightning arcs appeared in the sky, and a bolt of destructive lightning struck down with a roar.
Only then did Jiang Yuan react, saying angrily, "It was my turn!!"
[Godspeed] instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters, arriving at the area where the lightning struck.
Looking at the Earth-Cracking Lizard that was charred outside and tender inside from the electricity, Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "Lin, School Beauty, it doesn't seem good to casually break the rules we set."
Seeing Jiang Yuan, who seemed to have teleported, a hint of shock flashed across Lin Qingyan's face, and her small face also showed a touch of unnaturalness.
She turned her head and said haughtily, "You killed so many Iron Head Wolves just now, so this group of Earth-Cracking Lizards should all be my prey."
"You also took my equipment, if you're not willing, then go kill monsters somewhere else by yourself."
Qingyan Empress, never reasonable.
"Is that so?" A friendly smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face, "Alright, alright."
Suddenly, there was movement in a certain part of the ground, and iron spikes shot out.
Lin Qingyan's clear eyes flashed, and her cherry lips parted slightly: "Light..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
Jiang Yuan instantly appeared above that area and punched downwards.
Boom!
The iron-hard ground within a five-meter radius completely caved in, crushing and flattening the Earth-Cracking Lizard inside along with it!
[Ding, you killed Earth-Cracking Lizard, Experience +50]
"You!"
Lin Qingyan was annoyed and immediately looked elsewhere, but when she detected the movement of an Abyssal Beast, before she could even say the words 'Lightning Strike', Jiang Yuan would instantly kill it with even faster speed.
His teleportation-like speed, coupled with his abnormal single-target damage, turned him into a monster-slaying expert; no Abyssal Beast could withstand a second punch.
After having seven or eight monsters snatched consecutively.
Lin Qingyan also got angry.
"Bind."
This time the attack was not towards the Abyssal Beast, but towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan only felt an invisible force like ropes binding his limbs and body, restraining him in mid-air.
Lin Qingyan looked at him indifferently and said, "I've been putting up with you repeatedly for the sake of being classmates, don't force me to get serious."
Jiang Yuan smiled.
"Since that's the case..."
Under Lin Qingyan's surprised gaze, terrifying fluctuations of vital energy burst forth from Jiang Yuan's body, directly shattering the invisible restraint and causing him to fall from the air to the ground.
His body was covered with a layer of crimson ripples, the handsome young man with fluttering black hair twisted his neck, flexed his fists, and his pale golden pupils reflected Lin Qingyan's figure.
"Since neither of us will concede, let's just have a fight."
Lin Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Exactly what I want."
She didn't think she would lose.
The young man and the young woman stood under the dim sky of the Abyss, confronting each other in a dangerous environment filled with Abyssal Beasts, with tension in the air.
