“You are still alive?”

Qi Ming turned around and looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief, and there was a shock in his eyes.

“Is it strange that I am alive?”

“You thought I would in that explosion, right?” Yan Wuyue walked over slowly, looked at Qi Ming indifferently, and said.

!!
Her clothes were still neat, and she didn’t look messy at all from the explosion. It seemed that she had just gone for a walk.

“How did you survive the explosion?” Qi Ming still couldn’t believe it.

“Is that very difficult?” Yan Wuyue didn’t bother to answer.

Qi Ming was stunned when he heard her answer and did not know what to say.

“Now that the swamp crocodile clan has been completely exterminated, so your wish has been fulfilled. You can take us to the next spot now,” Yan Wuyue continued.

“Why don’t you take a rest first? After all, you’ve just experienced a battle,” Zhou Mingrui tried to persuade her.

“Don’t worry. The battle was nothing to me.” Yan Wuyue flipped his hair and said calmly.

At this moment, Qi Ming finally believed Yan Wuyue, for he thought she was acting and putting on a brace face despite her internal injuries.

Now, it seemed that Yan Wuyue came back safe and sound from that battle, which made Qi Ming even more surprised and suspicious about how strong she was.

“Alright, let’s go to the next spot.”

Qi Ming didn’t waste any more time and led the way.

[ Are you not injured for real? ] Zhou Mingrui asked worriedly on the way.

[ Don’t worry. I’m not. ] Yan Wuyue knew that Zhou Mingrui was concerned, so she responded gently.

[ How did you escape from such a strong explosion range? Those giant crocodiles couldn’t have just let you escape, right? ] Zhou Mingrui kept asking, for he wanted to know how Yan Wuyue had made it.

Yan Wuyue knew that Zhou Mingrui must be extremely curious, so she explained, [Alright, I will tell you the details. You must have seen my battle with them earlier, and the explosion was caused by the giant crocodile I was about to kill. ]

[ To be more precise, it killed itself, and its three companions were innocent. ]

Zhou Mingrui couldn’t believe what he had heard.

Yan Wuyue continued to explain, [ At that time, I used my skills to avoid the continuous pincer attack of two giant crocodiles, and I kept attacking the self-destructing giant crocodile at the same time. ]

[ Actually, I only used heavy strike for the first time. The rest were average ones because there were already three giant crocodiles surrounding me. If I used heavy strike again, I would give myself away. ]

[ As for the giant crocodile, it was tricked by my first attack. Then, it saw the tragic death of its companion, so it convinced itself that the attacks it suffered from me were heavy blows. ]

A psychological suggestion?

Zhou Mingrui was astonished, for he never expected that psychology could be used in a battle.

[ At the last moment, Extreme Shadow helped me create a fake figure by using the light refraction effect. I was already a few hundred meters away. ]

[ I burst out all the light energy I had stored, and it looked like I was going to fight for my life. Then, I killed the giant crocodile without caring about anything. ]

[ It was triggered by my move and thought about how I killed its companion, so it chose to self-destruct in a hurry. ]

[ But it doesn’t know that I can’t use the move a second time in a short period. ]

After hearing Yan Wuyue’s words, Zhou Mingrui suddenly pitied the giant crocodile. Everything had been in its mind from the beginning.

No wonder people said don’t trust anything.

[ What about its other three companions? ] Zhou Mingrui asked in confusion.

[ Its companions could have withstood the self-destruction because their armor also has the ability to buffer energy and resist high temperatures. After all, the energy was also from the same source as them, ] Yan Wuyue replied.

[ But I’ve already done something. Do you remember the one whose brain was damaged? ]

“Was that part of your plan since the beginning?” Zhou Mingrui suddenly widened his eyes and asked.

[ That’s right. The giant crocodile’s self-destruction wasn’t supposed to kill its companions, but when the brain-dead crocodile was affected, the power of the explosion immediately increased. ]

[ But how can you be so sure that you can make it self-destruct? What if it didn’t work? ] Zhou Mingrui scratched the back of his head and asked.

[ If it didn’t self-destruct, so what? It’s just one of many strategies, and I don’t have to rely on its self-destruction to win the battle, ] Yan Wuyue smiled and said.

[ I still have a backup plan. You know I’ll never put all my eggs in one basket. ]

[ Tell me about your backup plan. Don’t you think you should educate me? ] Zhou Mingrui looked at her as if he wasn’t surprised.

[ It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ve planted something in the body of the giant crocodile that I killed with Extreme Shadow Flash Kill, ] Yan Wuyue said slowly.

[ No wonder you crawled out from inside. I knew there was no need to pierce through its body. ] Zhou Mingrui stroked his chin and smiled.

[ Alright, it’s also because it was easy to tell the swamp crocodile’s strengths and weaknesses. It wouldn’t be so easy to fight other level 7 monsters. ]

[ Speaking of which, these are six level 7 monsters, and I’m already level 52. Let’s ignore those level 5 and 6 monsters, but your seal isn’t removed yet? ] Yan Wuyue shook her head, turned to Zhou Mingrui, and continued

[ Still the same, ] Zhou Mingrui shook his head helplessly and said.

Hearing this, Yan Wuyue frowned, but she said after a moment, [ Don’t worry. We’ll figure out what’s going on and help you unseal it. ]

[ Thank you. ] Zhou Mingrui also felt more relaxed.

Soon, the group arrived at a new spot after half an hour.

“You’d better be careful from now on because we’re getting closer to the habitat of the level 8 monsters. I can’t guarantee that we won’t attract their attention.” Qi Ming stopped and turned around to look at the two people behind him.

“Don’t worry. I am aware of the situation. What kind of monsters gather here?” Yan Wuyue asked calmly.

“In human language, they are called red-haired ape monsters,” Qi Ming said after some thought.

“I see,” Yan Wuyue muttered to herself when she heard the name.

“What’s the matter? Is there a problem with this clan?” Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.

“They’re strong, fast, powerful, and incredibly tough. Most importantly, they’re as intelligent as humans and can use all sorts of weapons.”

“Their hair also has a natural resistance, which means that energy attacks can hardly hurt them.
