Jiang Ran felt his scalp tingling just thinking about what would happen in this Shura field.

"I'm going to Sunny Town. After defeating the monster just now, I feel like my body is full of energy. I don't know if it's the influence of my combat profession, so I want to ask my friends in Sunny Town." Jiang Ran said.

"Full...? ...Combat class?"

Viviana was a little surprised. She originally thought that Banning was just a hunter, but she didn't expect that in addition to the production profession, he also had a combat profession.

——(You are indeed not an ordinary boy.)

Viviana now understood a little bit that Banning's calm performance in the cave was no accident. If time permits, she really wants to learn everything about Banning.

"Indeed, after defeating such a powerful monster, it's normal to experience a huge improvement all at once... I think you've reached the bottleneck of your 'Combat Class Advancement'."

After hearing Viviana's words, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. The eldest daughter of the Feiqi family was indeed knowledgeable.

"Combat career advancement?"

"Yes. After reaching level 20, 50, 90, and even higher, combat classes must complete corresponding 'Trials' before they can advance and level up. Most combat classes will also have 'job changes' depending on the 'Trials' completed and individual performance... If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you go to 'Cuilin City' first to get your class and level assessed."

Viviana's explanation was very detailed. Jiang Ran wanted to ask more about the "trials" and "job changes", but when he saw that Viviana was anxious to get to Gude Town, he decided to stop while he was ahead.

"Thank you, Viviana, you are really amazing."

Viviana shook her head, indicating that this was nothing to be thankful for.

She wanted to tell Banning all the relevant knowledge, but she really was running out of time.

"Take this with you. If there's a 'Task Guild' in Sunny Town, show this to them and they'll help you."

Viviana took out a pure gold badge from her bag. The badge was engraved with the coat of arms of the Feiqi family. It was heavy and obviously a very valuable item.

"...Or...if you...come to Yanji City to find me...that's also fine."

Viviana muttered something quietly, but unfortunately, Banning didn't hear it.

"I will always remember Viviana's kindness. I will definitely repay you one day."

"……Um."

There are still many things I want to say, but unfortunately, time waits for no one.

"I'm leaving first..."

"be careful."

Viviana took one last look at Banning, then constructed the "Floating Red Silver Sword" and nimbly jumped back and forth between the rock wall and the flying sword. Not long after, she reached the top of the cliff.

She turned around and found that Banning was still looking at her, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"By the way, don't challenge the fifth level of difficulty in the Trial!" Viviana shouted to Banning.

"Okay! Go ahead!"

Jiang Ran also responded loudly and waved goodbye to Viviana.

Watching a lady leave is a basic quality for a man.

Jiang Ran didn't turn around and leave until Viviana's figure disappeared from his sight.

Jiang Ran walked along the bottom of the canyon in the direction of the previous ground crack, looking for any trace of Wei'er Ai'er along the way.

Then, he found Wei'er lying on the ground where the ground cracked.

(…?!)

At this time, more than six hours had passed since Jiang Ran and Viviana fell into the underground cave.

Jiang Ran quickly ran to Wei'er. Fortunately, she just fainted.

Vitality: 16/30

Stamina: 0/23

Mana: 80/80

━━━━━━━━━━

(Did he faint from running out of stamina...?)

Jiang Ran glanced at Wei'er's status message, then looked at the pile of stones piled up like a small mountain beside him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Ran saw clearly that almost every one of these piled stones was stained with blood, and this blood... was all Wei'er's blood.

Wei'er dug out the stones blocking the crack in the ground one by one with her bare hands. She kept digging until she was exhausted and fainted on the side.

When Jiang Ran thought of this scene, his face turned pale.

He carefully checked Wei'er's hands. Both of her hands were covered in blood, and her skin was rubbed and festering. In some places... her hands were rubbed so hard that the bones were exposed.

Jiang Ran knew that Wei'er became like this just to save him from falling into the cave.

He couldn't imagine how much excruciating pain Wei'er endured to dig out the stones, and how anxious she was to rescue herself from the underground cave... Obviously, doing such a thing was as futile as Jingwei filling the sea.

(How foolish... Wei'er... It's not worth it for someone like me...)

Jiang Ran sat next to Wei'er. He wanted to touch her head, but couldn't bear to touch her. He sat there in silence for a long time.

·

Afterwards, Jiang Ran got up and found the remains of the Gude Town Cavalry. He found a few bottles of usable external wound medicine from their packages and brought them back to Wei'er to apply the medicine to her.

The stinging pain from the medicine woke Wei'er from her coma. When she saw Banning's face, she didn't know whether she was dreaming or in reality.

But it didn't matter whether it was a dream or reality. As long as she could see Banning again, she would be satisfied.

——(Good God…)

——(If this is reality, I would be willing to sacrifice my life to bring Banning back to life.)

——(If this is a dream, please let me never wake up.)

——(This is the only request I have in this life. Please fulfill my wish.)

Unable to hold back tears, they slid down Wei'er's cheeks.

At the same time, on the cliff top of Shadou Canyon, the mercenary lord, Grandma Cassi, who was at combat level 67, was looking down at the bottom of the canyon with a serious face.

"I can't sense Svalerok's presence anymore... Could this guy be dead?"

Grandma Cathy muttered to herself.

"Just in case, let's record it first."

"The Gude Town Cavalry... completely wiped out..."

"Those still alive are... the hunter boy from Ella Village... the girl from the orchard..."

"Hmm? There's even the eldest daughter of the Feiqi family...?"

Grandma Cassie's eyes widened in surprise.

——(Svalerock, you weren't killed by the eldest daughter of the Scarlet Qi family, were you?)

The unexpected discovery makes Grandma Cassie more suspicious that Swallock is dead.

In order to report to the "Earth Ghost" later, Grandma Cassie immediately wrote down the last few people who survived the canyon incident.

"The survivors of Shadou Canyon, Viviana Feiqi of the Feiqi family, Banning from Ella Village, and Wei'er, also from Ella Village."

[Prison Star Calendar]

〖13:26 pm〗

〖Confession: 25 days left in the death countdown〗

━━━━━━━━━━

On the top of the cliff of Shadou Canyon, a white-haired old lady is walking on the rugged mountain as if it were flat ground.

"I heard the sound of a landslide and came here to check it out. It turned out to be the right decision~ Hehe~ Hehe~ Hehe~"

The old lady's name was Cassie, and just now, she witnessed a silver-haired girl running away.

Based on the girl's clothing and appearance, Grandma Cassie deduced that she should be the youngest daughter of the Scarlett family: Viviana Scarlett.

——(This is truly rare... How did the eldest daughter of the Scarlet Qi family end up in Lord Bilishi's territory...)

Grandma Cathy couldn't help but have a premonition in her heart: that cunning Svalerock might really be killed this time.

Two or three days ago, when the caravan was separated from the young man Banning because of a landslide, Grandma Cassie was still thinking that the young man Banning might die in the valley.

But now, the appearance of Viviana has added variables to the situation.

Svalerok is a sinister and cunning creature. As long as its race name, "Shadow-Eating Rock Demon", is not exposed, it is almost impossible to kill.

For several years, Grandma Cassie couldn't figure out how Svalerok had managed to convince the people of Gude Town to believe in the racial name of "Stone Shadow Rock Demon".

You know, there is only one word difference between "Stone Shadow Rock Demon" and "Shadow Devouring Rock Demon", but there is a world of difference between them.

Even if she could return to her prime, she would still be unable to deal with Swallock who could hide in the shadows... Grandma Cassie thought so.

But now, Svalerok's breath was indeed gone.

Grandma Cassie began to explore the canyon with doubts. Not long after, she found the remains of what looked like a granite golem. Following these remains, she finally found the body that might be Svalerok's.

"The magic core has been dug out... It seems that he was really killed..."

——(Was it the eldest daughter of the Scarlett family who did this? Svalerock must have been careless...)

Grandma Cathy knew that the Swalelock looked like an ordinary long-eared jerboa, so she couldn't be absolutely sure.

However, the traces of battle in this underground cave undoubtedly pointed to the fact that "Svalerok had been killed."

Afterwards, Grandma Cassie checked the underground caverns.

She discovered that not only the Svalerok had died, but even its long-eared jerboa colony had been wiped out.

"Professional... Such execution... Even a top-tier reward hunter wouldn't be much better than this..."

——(The Scarlet Qi family is really good at educating young people...)

Grandma Cassie praised it, and as for Svalerock's death, she didn't feel sad at all because she had nothing to do with this guy.

——(Alright, let’s report this to the Earth Ghost.)

·

A moment later, Grandma Cassie arrived at the woods outside the Sand Pouch Canyon.

She carved a "snake eye mark" on the tree, and after a while, a green snake with its tongue bared crawled out from the nearby grass pile.

"Hiss... Cassie, it's rare for you to come to me on your own initiative... It seems that Svalerok is dead?" (Demon language)

"Yes, as per the mission requirements, I contacted you immediately. If you could take care of me, an old man with hearing loss, and speak the 'Human Common Language', I would be extremely grateful." (Human language)

Grandma Cathy deliberately raised her voice to express her dissatisfaction.
