Chapter 525: Want to take on a challenge?

Okay, tomorrow when the camp horn sounds, we'll go out hunting. After Lao Er finished speaking, he also briefly introduced the schedule: time, meal time, hunting time, and also some special living tips.

After Jiang Yun Chu noted everything down, she returned to the wooden hut, took out the book given by her previous teacher, and learned about the basic spirit beasts here and some basic materials.

Since she wanted to survive here, she needed to blend in.

"Nuo Nuo." The little creature beside her neck, not knowing when it had woken, nudged with its tiny nose and made a soft sound.

Jiang Yun Chu grabbed it down and placed it in her palm, but the little creature seemed dissatisfied with her palm and quickly climbed onto her shoulder.

Its little feet kept kicking, making Jiang Yun Chu find it amusing—how could there be such an adorable species in the world?

"What do you eat? Want some fruit?" Jiang Yun Chu took a pear from her space and placed it in front of the little creature.

The little creature's eyes lit up, it lunged forward, and even in midair it trailed a pink mist.

"What's the rush? Wait a moment."

When the Water God left, he gave her two large space rings containing some things from Zhongzhou.

But her own space seemed to have a mind of its own, as if vying for favor; both space rings were absorbed into her internal space, becoming part of it.

However, the space correspondingly expanded; now her space stretched beyond sight, filled with things.

The fruits and grain on the manor, as well as the tea and hot pot from the shop—basically anything usable—were all collected into her space.

Seeing how much the little creature loved pears, she felt relieved—at least raising it didn't seem hard; just having pears would suffice?

"Xiao Shisan, let's go."

After hearing the voice, Jiang Yun Chu opened the door to see Lao Liu in white robes and Shi Er smiling at her.

"This little creature sure knows how to find a spot." Shi Er looked at the pink on her neck and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Yun Chu nodded, "Exactly! If I hadn't fed it pears, I would have thought it didn't need to eat anything."

"Wait!"

"What did you say?"

"What did you feed it?" Shi Er exclaimed suddenly; even Lao Liu, looking at Jiang Yun Chu now, had an inexplicable expression.

"A pear?" Jiang Yun Chu blinked her eyes.

Then she took two pears from her space and handed one to each, asking, "Do you want to eat?"

The two looked at the golden pear; Lao Liu's expression didn't change, but Shi Er couldn't help licking her lips.

"Never mind, keep it for yourself."

"You just arrived, you might bring a few pears, but this place is desolate, utterly unsuitable for planting; from now on you can only savor such things in memory."

Although she really wanted to, she still refused.

Xiao Shisan came up from a minor world; able to bring things, but how much could he carry?

These things, they felt no spiritual power; they weren't spirit fruits, just ordinary fruit.

But what does that matter?

They hadn't eaten fruit or grain in hundreds of years, surviving daily on spirit beast meat.

"Here, take them—I still have more." Jiang Yun Chu shoved a pear directly into each of their hands.

She saw their longing and understood them.

But…

She not only had a space, but also a points exchange system; during the retaking of Xijiang, while healing and saving lives, and when the children all became top scholars, the system awarded many points.

And the new exchange page finally appeared.

On it were only two words: Zhongzhou!

At least, when she needed to exchange something, it was far more convenient for her than for them.

"Thank you." Shi Er held the pear, gently sniffed it, smelled the familiar fresh fragrance, but she was reluctant to eat it, instead solemnly placing the pear into her space ring.

Lao Liu looked at Jiang Yun Chu, then at the pear in his hand, "Thank you."

Jiang Yun Chu waved her hand.

"This is the first layer of Hell, also the lowest layer of spirit beast levels in the Lost Land, filled with first-tier spirit beasts."

"First-tier spirit beasts match your current strength; you need to adapt here, so start with first-tier spirit beasts and gradually increase."

Although Lao Liu was the team leader responsible for leading, he seemed not fond of speaking; much of the introduction was given by Shi Er.

"Alright, we'll stop here." The leading Lao Liu ahead suddenly halted his steps.

"This area is all first-tier spirit beasts; what exactly they are, what specialties they have—I won't tell you." Lao Liu interrupted Shi Er's introduction and instead gazed seriously at Jiang Yun Chu.

"If you want to walk out of here alive, out of the Lost Land, you can only keep learning yourself; what others tell you may not necessarily be correct."

"Bringing others' subjective judgments will inevitably limit your perspective." Lao Liu looked at Jiang Yun Chu, "I won't intervene, nor will I let her intervene."

"But rest assured, I'll leave you a breath." While speaking, Lao Liu didn't look at Jiang Yun Chu; he sat with his head down, already entering a meditative state.

Shi Er still wanted to say something, but Jiang Yun Chu shook her head at her.

"Shi Er, let me check it out myself." She gave a light smile; actually, she felt no hostility from Lao Liu.

She also didn't feel his words were aimed at her.

In such a place, someone willing to guarantee her a life is already a great blessing.

Moreover, she wanted to give it her all, to know the extent of her abilities.

Practical combat often matters more than theory.

Jiang Yun Chu drew the Crimson Sky, that red soft sword, and in this dark place a streak of light appeared.

"Here it comes." A voice came from afar; when she saw what it was, the sharp claws had already struck toward her heart.

Jiang Yun Chu quickly turned, dodging the fatal blow, but her sleeve couldn't avoid it.

"Rip..." The sound of her clothing being torn, in this quiet place, was so clear.

"What great speed." In Jiang Yun Chu's eyes there was no defeat, no surrender, no loud shouting; instead she gripped her long sword tighter, seeking the pattern of each attack.

That's right, every attack.

This spirit beast, as if it had no physical form, every time it appears, its speed is extremely fast; there is only one strike—if the strike fails, it immediately hides, and she can't even sense where it has hidden.

The twelve's expressions were somewhat anxious, and Lao Liu, who had just been cultivating, had already opened their eyes at some point.

Looking at the arena, the person who was tugging back and forth with the Swift Wind Wolf.
