The once prosperous Gulan City has now become a dilapidated ruin, and has become a nest for monsters to breed and multiply.
Spiders, lizards, pythons, bobcats, hedgehogs, jackals...
Chang Ping and his group encountered countless monsters along the way.
These beasts have no intelligence and will attack immediately once they meet the traveler, no matter how strong he is.
Fortunately, Yang Xin is a golden demon spirit master with very sharp perception, and can detect the demon beasts before they launch an attack.
Chang Ping and the warrior attendants protected the girls in the center to minimize their risk of harm.
The monsters in the ruins are not only of many kinds, but also in large numbers. They are just like snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they cannot be killed no matter how hard you try.
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion sounded, and Chang Ping shot and killed a leopard lynx that was lying on the wall and trying to attack Xiao Xue from behind.
Don't forget that Chang Ping is now also a silver demon spirit master. When he fully releases his soul power, his perception range can reach an astonishing 300 meters.
If it was in normal state, it could only sense creatures within a three-meter radius, but it was more than enough to protect Yang Xin and the others.
"Son-in-law, you'd better not use this weapon for the time being." Old Man Li suddenly spoke up, his face solemn. "It will easily scare us, and it will also attract powerful monsters nearby."
"If we keep fighting with these damn beasts, our speed will be greatly slowed down, and we won't reach the target location before dark." Because of the huge noise of the Desert Eagle, his hearing was greatly reduced, and he was almost bitten by a poisonous lizard just now.
Warriors do not have strong mental perception abilities, and they mainly rely on their five senses, namely sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, to detect enemies hiding in the dark.
The gunshots in Changping could seriously affect their judgment. They were thick-skinned and it didn't matter if they got injured, but they were mainly afraid of accidentally ignoring the danger and hurting the girls in the team.
Having said that, the girls are not all just pretty faces.
Xiao Ning'er used the black gold hunting bow given to her by Chang Ping in the morning to hunt and kill many flying monsters.
Although Ye Ziyun did not have a black gold weapon, she was wearing the Wind and Snow Palm Gloves given by Chang Ping, and she could blast the bronze monster into an ice sculpture with one punch.
Not to mention Shen Xiu and Huyan Lanruo, the strength of the Silver Demon Spirit Masters is there, and they will kill every demon beast that appears.
Yang Xin is a golden demon spirit master and the one with the strongest perception in the team. She sits in the middle of the team, constantly scanning for nearby dangers and promptly reminding Chang Ping and the warrior attendants on the periphery.
The only one who didn't perform well was Xiao Xue. Her cultivation was not high and she was only an apprentice of a demon spirit master. Compared with other women in the team, her family background was not very good. She was just a woman from an ordinary noble family and had no money to buy powerful weapons.
The crossbow that Xiao Xue was holding in her hand was a cheap item she bought from a stall in front of the academy. She only spent a few hundred demon spirit coins on it. It was not very powerful or accurate, and could barely be considered a bronze weapon.
Chang Ping and Xiao Xue had only met each other a few times, and he had no such feelings towards her, so he didn't give her any gifts.
But Xiao Xue had that kind of intention towards Chang Ping, and except for her and Shen Xiu, all the other girls received gifts, which made her feel very disappointed.
It was not until Old Man Li asked him to put away the gun that Chang Ping noticed the sad look on Xiao Xue's face.
"Okay! I don't need it." Chang Ping followed the old man Li's advice and put the Desert Eagle back on his little finger ring.
Then, he exchanged a bronze weapon from the store and gave it to Xiao Xue as a gift, as a way of establishing a good relationship.
He now possesses a strength of 200,000 jin, so a mere 500 jin of strength is not worth mentioning.
"This is too expensive..." Xiao Xue quickly declined.
Although she really wanted Chang Ping's gift, the bronze weapon worth tens of thousands of demon spirit coins was too luxurious for an ordinary noble girl like her to afford.
Ye Ziyun could accept it with peace of mind, because she was the city lord's daughter, and the bronze gauntlets were insignificant in her eyes.
She couldn't do it. She was just an ordinary girl with average looks and average talent, and was not worthy of Chang Ping's bronze weapon.
"Don't give it to me!" Shen Xiu stretched out her fox claws. She activated the Holy Flame Demon Fox to possess her body and turned into a fox spirit. "This gun is red, which just matches my temperament."
In addition to her red hair, Shen Xiu's dress is also red.
"Go away !
" Chang Ping glared at Shen Xiu, turned around and raised the gun to Xiao Xue's slightly bulging chest, smiled and said, "I'll lend it to you temporarily. After you find the treasure, if you want to continue to own it, you can exchange it with me."
Hearing this, Xiao Xue felt relieved and boldly took the big red gun from Chang Ping.
The gun felt warm to the touch, as if it had life. Xiao Xue held it and felt like she was holding her newborn baby brother.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her temple.
A strange memory flooded into the depths of her consciousness.
This spear is called the Fire-Snatching Spear. The spear shaft is made of a hundred-year-old red beech wood, straight and smooth, with extraordinary toughness. The spear head is a fire crystal, extremely sharp, able to break gold and jade.
The reason why it is called the magic spear is that every time it kills a monster, a layer of spear intent will be added, and there is no upper limit to the amount of addition.
When the gun intent is stacked to 1,000 layers, it will be upgraded to a silver weapon; when the gun intent is stacked to 10,000 layers, it will be upgraded to a gold weapon; when the gun intent is stacked to 100,000 layers, it will be upgraded to a black gold weapon...
And every time you level up, a special ability will be awakened.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Xue finally came back to her senses.
"Chang Ping, thank you!" Xiao Xue said solemnly.
"You're welcome!" Chang Ping waved his hand generously, "It's just a small favor, don't worry about it."
He also knew the effect of the Fire-Swallowing Spear, and that it could only be upgraded by killing monsters.
To upgrade to a black gold weapon, one needs to kill 100,000 monsters, and they must be stabbed to death with this gun. It's too troublesome just thinking about it.
"No! I will always remember your kindness in my heart and never forget it!" Xiao Xue's eyes were burning and she was flirting with him. If Chang Ping agreed, she would be willing to marry him.
Chang Ping smiled bitterly. He understood Xiao Xue's intentions, but...
"Aping, it's time to get going!" Yang Xin's voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
Xiao Xue understood.
Even if Chang Ping agrees, Director Yang will not agree.
She could only keep this feeling in her heart for the time being.
In fact, the reason why she chose to go to the ruins of Gulan City with Chang Ping was because she wanted to do what she could to help Chang Ping on the way to thank him for killing the insidious Tie Lang and avenging her poor cousin.
Because Tielang had crippled his legs, her cousin was ridiculed by his clan members and the world, and became depressed and wanted to commit suicide several times.
Seeing this loved one in such pain, she felt very sad.
Because she is a girl, she has been discriminated against by her grandparents and parents since she was born. Although she is a direct descendant of the family, she is almost the same as the collateral branch and is neglected in the family. Therefore, she is particularly close to Xiao Ning'er who has the same experience.
Only this cousin has always cared about her, taken care of her, and patiently taught her the exercises.
Until one day he was carried back to the family, covered in blood, and Xiao Xue felt like the sky had fallen.
She asked her cousin what was wrong, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Later, she found out through some inquiries that a golden warrior named Tie Lang had deliberately broken her cousin's leg during a sparring match in order to teach at Shenglan College, causing him to become disabled for life and unable to continue teaching.
Her cousin loves children the most, and he likes to teach them martial arts. His dream is to become a glorious mentor, teaching and educating people, and having students all over the world.
But Tielang destroyed his dream.
From then on, her cousin's temperament changed drastically. He became moody and would yell like crazy when he saw a child.
Xiao Xue vowed to avenge her cousin.
But Tielang is a gold warrior, and her talent is average, so she probably won't be able to cultivate to the gold level in her lifetime.
Just when she felt desperate, Chang Ping appeared in her sight.
Like a holy light!
