Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

During the pursuit, Chen Xi didn't utter any nonsense like "Stop."

Zhou Xiaogu has already seen himself; the fact that he hasn't stopped means he doesn't intend to stop.

Along the way, the flames that had been harvested from the fire giant grew stronger again, soon reaching the same height as Chen Xi.

Chen Xi glanced at it casually, then waved his hand and used the sickle in his hand to harvest it again.

At this moment, the basket behind him, which was not actually there, was filled with flame energy that was constantly dissipating.

The rate of loss is almost equal to the regeneration rate of the Flame Giant, which means that 80% of Chen Xi's [Harvest] is sealed, leaving only 20% usable.

This was very disadvantageous for his upcoming battle with Zhou Xiaogu, but there was no other way; if the fire giant continued to attack him, the situation would only get worse.

Zhou Xiaogu also witnessed this scene. Although she did not think Chen Xi would be her opponent, inspecting the enemy's situation had long been an instinctive habit of hers, regardless of strength or weakness.

"Chen Xi," Zhou Xiaogu spoke up, "I know you want to fight me, but this position isn't ideal."

"For both of us."

"We're almost at that special safe zone. Let's settle things there."

"Don't even think about it!" Chen Xi refused.

Logically, people would seek a favorable situation to fight their opponents. Following this line of thought, even if there is such a special safe zone as Zhou Xiaogu mentioned, it would be disadvantageous to Chen Xi.

"Whether you want to or not is not up to you," Zhou Xiaogu said firmly, then his speed began to increase, gradually widening the distance between him and Chen Xi.

I'm informing you, not discussing it with you.

Zhou Xiaogu's indifferent voice gradually faded into the distance.

She can even increase her speed!?

Chen Xi exclaimed in shock.

Although he hasn't activated his peasant state, his current progress is at 56% of Tier III, plus three times his physical attributes.

Even if Zhou Xiaogu has warrior-type extraordinary characteristics, his speed shouldn't be this fast before using the corresponding extraordinary characteristics.

This scene gave Chen Xi a new assessment of Zhou Xiaogu's strength.

How come this woman's strength is just as high as her looks?

Judging from the initial mission and subsequent developments, I should be far ahead of Zhou Xiaogu, right?

However, there's no time to think about that now. Chen Xi can't give up just because Zhou Xiaogu showed off his speed.

But he wasn't that rigid.

A thought suddenly came to him.

Chen Xi made an explosive sprint to the male model's side:

"Zhou Xiaogu, if you continue forward, I don't know what will happen to your companions."

However, all that answered Chen Xi was the whooshing sound of the wind in her ears.

"Haha." The male model laughed. "Chen Xi, your behavior is useless. Zhou Xiaogu wasn't with me."

"But I followed her!"

"To her, I'm dispensable!"

The male model's voice was both sarcastic and melancholic.

Chen Xi did not answer. After waiting for a while, all she could see in her pupils was Zhou Xiaogu's increasingly distant figure.

Clearly, the male model was right; Zhou Xiaogu completely ignored him.

If it were someone else, Chen Xi might have thought about it more, but the other person was Zhou Xiaogu!

A girl with extreme individual heroism, which fits her style perfectly.

Seeing this, Chen Xi quickly made a decision. He gently patted the male model on the shoulder:

"What are you laughing at!"

"Take this elbow strike!"

"what!"

After sending the male model flying with an elbow strike, Chen Xi sped forward.

Even if he can't catch up with Zhou Xiaogu, he'll still bite her to death!

Soon, Chen Xi and Zhou Xiaogu's speed reached a constant value.

Chen Xi knew very well that it wasn't that he had caught up with Zhou Xiaogu, but rather that Zhou Xiaogu had slowed down a bit.

"Um?"

"That is..."

As Chen Xi was in pursuit, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

He saw something incredible.

A mountain range!

A moving mountain range!

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is actually a colossal creature!

This was absolutely the largest behemoth Chen Xi had ever seen!

Bigger than the Dragon God!

Mountains are just a part of its body.

"Wait, this shape..."

Chen Xi could tell from the other person's low-lying posture and Zhou Xiaogu's earlier statement that "we're about to reach that special safe zone."

A name immediately came to mind.

Prophecy Turtle!

Judging from the gently shifting trajectory of these mountain ranges, the giant beast should have been lying down.

It perfectly matches the image of a turtle.

Combining this with Zhou Xiaogu's words, it's not hard to guess that this thing is the prophetic tortoise that Lu Xitong has been looking for.

I don't know if Lu Xitong found the prophetic tortoise.

Chen Xi murmured to himself.

In this way, the other party is indeed not a behemoth, but a moving safe zone.

But how could Zhou Xiaogu locate this safe zone?

These questions have no answers yet, but there is one thing Chen Xi knows.

That is to say, the safe zone of the prophecy turtle is one of the few truly safe zones, where there is no danger.

From this perspective, Zhou Xiaogu really does want to have a one-on-one fight with me.

"What problem are you here to diagnose?"

Chen Xi suddenly spoke.

The role of the prophetic tortoise is to provide answers, but not the normal kind of answers; rather, it is to make judgments, judgments with a 100% accuracy rate.

You tell it something, and it will tell you whether it's "yes" or "no".

However, there is one frustrating detail to be aware of: because it lacks a time concept, it can lead to some unexpected problems.

For example, if you ask it, "Will I die?" the answer is "yes," but it doesn't know when you will die, but you will definitely die.

Therefore, when asking the oracle about prophecy, you should either remove the concept of time or add a time range.

Chen Xi never expected to arrive at this safe zone in this way. He did have a few questions he wanted to ask, but he had no leverage!

But thinking about it another way, since Zhou Xiaogu came here with a purpose, doesn't that mean...?

Does she have enough chips on her?

A thought suddenly popped into Chen Xi's mind: "Hehehe."

"I didn't expect you to know this. I do have a question I want answered."

Zhou Xiaogu didn't turn his head, his usually calm tone unusually serious:

I want to know...

"Are there no truly living people in this world?"
