Chapter 22

Su Ming said firmly.

"Join my squad and listen to my commands completely."

Jiang Yunqing didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement immediately, her head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

【Jiang Yunqing has become a teammate】

【You have become the captain】

Su Ming raised his sword directly and cut the ropes binding her.

She collapsed instantly, falling to the ground.

She struggled for a moment before barely managing to climb up.

Her wrists and whole body were covered in red rope marks, her face pale.

"Thank you!"

Her eyes were slightly red; at this moment, she wished she could give herself to Su Ming!

There was no help for it; the scene she had experienced was too terrifying.

Being captured by goblins, then being saved.

Whoever experienced this would be moved to tears!

She took out a bottle of healing potion from her pouch and drank it in one gulp.

All her wounds recovered by seven or eight parts immediately.

This potion was also something she obtained because the players of the Dragon Kingdom completed the first kill.

Su Ming didn't pay attention to her, but walked to the other female players who were trapped.

He reached out his finger, only to find that these women no longer had any breath.

Only Jiang Yunqing was lucky enough to survive until now. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====

"Su Ming, let's leave this cave quickly!"

Jiang Yunqing’s small face was pale, her expression nervous as she looked around.

Su Ming stood still and asked in return, "Why leave?"

Jiang Yunqing gripped the ebony staff in her hand tightly.

This was a Gold mid-grade piece of equipment!

After all, she was the eldest young lady of the Jiang’an Consortium, wealthy, and she had bought Gold-quality equipment at the weapon shop for self-defense.

However, even with a Gold-grade weapon, her squad couldn't beat the goblin leader.

"There's no time!"

"Su Ming, there is still a goblin leader in this cave; it is very burly, and several of my team members died at its hands!"

"Just now, the goblin leader heard the commotion outside and rushed out."

"I reckon it should be coming back soon."

"If we don't run away now..."

Su Ming interrupted her words directly.

"Don't worry, it has already been slain by me."

These words shocked her to the extreme.

"How is that possible."

"You are alone, not even in a team, and you are a Sword Cultivator, which is weaker in the early stages."

Her eyes were dazed, somewhat unbelievable.

She even felt that Su Ming was bragging.

After all, she had personally witnessed how terrifying that goblin leader was.

It slaughtered ordinary players, basically one-shotting them.

Su Ming could solo it?

She felt it was too absurd no matter how she looked at it.

Su Ming presented the Goblin King’s Treasure Map in front of her directly.

"This is the loot that dropped from it, a treasure map."

Su Ming used this to prove the iron-clad fact.

Looking at this treasure map, her eyes were slightly dazed, clearly stunned for a moment.

She blinked her eyes twice, shocked beyond measure.

Finally, she could only choose to believe.

"O... okay, I believe you."

"You are really too fierce; that goblin leader is a Level 10 elite monster..."

Suddenly, she seemed to associate something and asked.

"Could it be, Su Ming, that you are that Dragon Kingdom Sword Cultivator player who completed the first kill?"

Su Ming nodded.

She gasped.

She didn't expect it to really be him.

"Su Ming, there are still many dangers in this cave."

"Besides goblins, there are many other monster colonies gathered here."

"The best choice is still to leave here," she advised.

Su Ming’s expression was calm as he said firmly.

"Don't talk too much; we already reached a deal earlier."

"My condition for saving you is that you must join my squad and listen to my commands."

"Now I am going deeper into the cave, and you must follow me."

"If you talk too much again, I will tie you back."

Su Ming’s voice was cold as he said.

Once these words were spoken, Jiang Yunqing had to nod.

But in her heart, she was still a bit pouty.

Really, he doesn't know how to cherish the fairer sex at all.

I am the second young lady of the Jiang’an Consortium; if you were a little gentler, wouldn't you have won me over?

At that time, glory and wealth would be waiting for you outside.

But you, you are still obsessing over the dungeon benefits in front of you.

This Su Ming is truly a blockhead.

Sigh...

Miss Jiang sighed, feeling sorry for his lack of ambition.

While she hesitated, Su Ming had already moved forward without looking back.

Heading toward the deeper parts of the cave.

She looked around, feeling that it was pitch black here, terrifying and eerie.

Alone, she really didn't dare.

She could only follow quickly.

Following closely by Su Ming’s side, not leaving an inch.

The two spent several hours rushing forward.

Su Ming’s movements were fast, almost not waiting for her.

She had to run with all her might to keep up with Su Ming’s speed!

In the cave, there were countless monsters, surging like a tide, appearing one after another.

After all, this was a hidden area, so the number of monsters was naturally dense!

But those monsters were basically slain by Su Ming in a single encounter.

【Experience +78】

【Experience +79】 ===== CHAPTER 60 =====

She was basically earning experience while lying down!

Even during this period, a small beast tide rushed out.

A full twenty-plus bloodthirsty mutant cave salamanders were all easily killed by Su Ming alone.

He traveled alone with his sword, and soon killed the group of salamanders, leaving them scattered everywhere.

Among them, there was even a salamander king, which was killed instantly by Su Ming with one sword.

And he himself only received a slight scratch!

Witnessing Su Ming’s strength throughout the process, Jiang Yunqing was shocked repeatedly, her mouth unable to close.

Especially that Sword Flash.

Under the influence of the Origin Sword Body, the speed and power were multiplied by 10.

That momentum was simply terrifying.

After seeing that move with her own eyes, she felt her legs going soft.

If Su Ming were an enemy, she would have already died without a whole corpse.

At this point, she was completely convinced by Su Ming.

At this time, Su Ming walked slowly in front of her.

"What are you staring at, heal me."

Su Ming said.

"Oh oh, okay!"

Jiang Yunqing hurriedly activated her skill.

A cluster of purple light emerged in her palm.

She extracted soul power from the large group of salamander corpses around.

Then, she poured it all into Su Ming’s body.

The wounds on Su Ming’s arm healed completely very quickly.

The Profound Steel Blood-Drinking Sword did indeed have the ability to heal wounds.

But it was very weak, not comparable to a real healer.

That was why Su Ming brought her along.

"What level are you?"

Su Ming asked.

"Thanks to you, I'm already Level 10, and my first advancement quest has been generated."

"I need to kill an elite-level monster."

She said somewhat nervously.

"Very good, I will take you to complete the quest later, and you will advance to a Soul Healer."

Su Ming said.

She nodded, while also feeling some surprise in her heart.

One of the selectable classes for a Corpse-Absorbing Healer’s first advancement is Soul Healer.

Not only can they heal teammates, but they also gain some buff skills.

Su Ming actually knew so much about her class.

There are many classes in the world, basically countless; wanting to name the first advancement branch of a certain class off the top of one's head requires a very extensive knowledge base.

Su Ming is truly not bad in both combat power and brainpower...

She secretly admired him a little.

Although her family had poured countless resources into her since she was young, signing her up for countless tutoring classes, she considered herself not as amazing as Su Ming.

And Su Ming came from a poor family; relying only on himself, to have this kind of strength, he must have suffered a lot.

Whether it was his mindset or his combat power.

She completely admitted that Su Ming’s strength was fully capable of being her captain.

Directly ordering her to advance to a Soul Healer—this was a lifelong decision that couldn't be changed later.

So Su Ming’s words were somewhat overbearing.

Fortunately, she originally wanted to advance to a Soul Healer, so the two didn't conflict.

Moreover, Su Ming saved her life, so she couldn't refuse.

Su Ming walked to the salamander king’s corpse and collected its large meat.

The salamander king’s meat is a rare delicacy and tastes very good.

Collect it into the space first, in case of need.

With two people working together in a team, the fault tolerance rate is definitely higher, and the survival rate is also higher.

But the only downside is that the experience points will be shared.

However, Su Ming’s level is too high now; killing monsters in this novice dungeon won't level him up much, so there's no need to feel bad.

Su Ming arrogantly kept all the loot for himself.

After all, he was the captain.

Half of the experience points had already been shared with her.

Of course, he had to take the loot.

Then, Su Ming took her to kill another elite monster, completing her first advancement quest.

She also successfully became a Soul Healer and learned a new skill.

【Block Buff (Bronze Low-grade): Designate a teammate, consume Spirit to continuously increase their block probability.】

Soon, Su Ming took Jiang Yunqing to the Goblin King’s treasure location.

In Su Ming’s hand, that map instantly turned into a stream of light and merged into the ground.

【Arrived at the treasure location, please dig!】

Su Ming immediately activated his Sword Control skill.

The Profound Steel Sword behind him hovered and left its sheath.

It flew directly to slash at the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Soil and debris flew everywhere.

Sword light flashed, and soon it dug a large pit in the ground.

A dark purple treasure chest was lying inside.

Su Ming hooked his finger, sending the Profound Steel Sword back into its sheath.

Scan the treasure chest’s data. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
