Special Fountain

Just as Tang Miao approached, Xige was about to kneel down when, at the same time, a bandit shouted, "Boss, look at the sky!"

"It looks like eldest sister Oni!"

"Big sister's here!"

The surviving bandits all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their leader arrive.

Golden wings immediately caught everyone's attention. The female leader, Oni, descended from the sky, accompanied by a handsome blond man with a smug look on his face.

"Oh my, there are quite a few of them, over three hundred. But don't worry, judging from their aura, they're all just a bunch of trash." Zhao Manyan, unaware of the situation, glanced at the villagers dressed in brightly colored clothes and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

In his view, the scene was easy to identify. The women in red, decorated clothes, like Oni, were definitely villagers from this Vanilla Village. As for the three hundred-odd people gathered together, they were clearly not good people. They thought they could cause trouble in this village just because they outnumbered each other. Did they really think there was no justice in this society?!

Upon seeing this "idiot" arrive, Tang Miao cursed inwardly...

Jiang Shaoxu covered her head, looking utterly helpless.

Just look at Zhao Manyan, that idiot, he's just driven mad by lust!

The air of disdain seemed too strong, for Zhao Manyan happened to look over. However, he still feigned ignorance. "Oh, you two are here too. If you're here, why don't you hurry up and act on behalf of Heaven to wipe out these bandits? Don't be afraid just because they outnumber you!"

"You two know each other?"

Oni paused for a moment, then thought back carefully and realized that these two people seemed to be the same group from before. She had a vague impression of Jiang Shaoxu.

Zhao Manyan patted his chest and said, "Yes, we are partners, the closest kind. With them around, I won't need to lift a finger. Don't worry, we can definitely keep your village safe. As for these bandits, we will show no mercy!"

Tang Miao said calmly, "Damn it, you idiots! Have you ever seen a group of ordinary people robbing a mage?"

Zhao Manyan was stunned... It took him about ten seconds to seem to react?

After confirming that Zhao Manyan was in cahoots with the other party, and seeing her men killed in action, Oni flew into a rage and attacked Zhao Manyan.

She acted with lightning speed; a gust of wind surged up from beneath Zhao Manyan's feet without warning, transforming into a fierce whirlwind in a short time, lifting Zhao Manyan into the air.

Zhao Manyan hurriedly cast Rock Barrier, creating a tongue-shaped protective Rock Barrier that blocked most of the whirlwind's power outside the thick rock.

Tang Miao had already drawn the Lightning Element constellation once again!

The mages who had just arrived to provide support arrived just as Tang Miao successfully gathered lightning. Then, a massive "thunderstorm" instantly destroyed the dreamlike village, leaving it in ruins... Similarly, all the bandits within the area of the thunderstorm were reduced to ashes.

Of course, the newly arrived leader escaped unscathed because Zhao Manyan was Advanced Mage.

However, she had no intention of continuing the fight, because she realized that these people were far stronger than she had imagined, and they had also fled quite decisively.

A purple boot appeared on her legs, allowing her to briefly lose her footing. Oni her subordinates, she quickly scrambled down the slope and fled. Before leaving, she turned back and gave Zhao Manyan a fierce glare, as if to say, "I'll remember this grudge!"

After all, she almost got ripped off for free!

Seeing the woman flee, Tang Miao made no move to chase after her. After all, his primary purpose in coming here was to replenish his beads!

Seeing that all the bandits were dead, Jiang Shaoxu asked in confusion, "Tang Miao, they seemed to have a bounty on their heads, how come you didn't leave a single one alive?"

"Bounty?"

Tang Miao paused, then said with dissatisfaction, "You only told me after I had already wiped them all out. Don't you think that's a bit too late?"

Meanwhile, the villagers were all hiding on the other side of the village. Only after the battle was over did a few of the bolder ones peek out.

However, Tang Miao paid no attention to them and went in the direction the bead pointed.

Jiang Shaoxu and Zhao Manyan were somewhat puzzled when Tang Miao left directly, but they followed him. Actually, they still wanted the villagers to thank them; after all, they were young and impetuous, and having done a good deed, how could they not receive some gratitude?

But since the main contributors were all of such high moral character, the other two naturally had nothing to say. Especially Zhao Manyan, who was still quite puzzled...

He knew that because of this incident, he would likely be looked down upon for a while longer.

Seeing Tang Miao and his group heading towards the back mountain, the villagers were puzzled, but no one dared to utter a sound. Especially after witnessing the terrifying magical damage Tang Miao had just inflicted on those dozens of bandits...

Tang Miao walked straight to the back of the village, where he saw not only vast fields of herbs, but also a small fountain in the center.

It was near this small fountain that he clearly felt not only the beads were trembling, but the Kirin Jade itself was also trembling.

Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed with delight, "Wow~ This place is so beautiful! You rascal~ How did you know there would be such a beautiful place?"

Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly, then she looked at Jiang Shaoxu and said softly, "I smelled a strong scent here, so I decided to bring you here."

Upon hearing what Tang Miao said, Jiang Shaoxu was overjoyed.

They happily strolled around the pile of herbs, while Zhao Manyan, seeing the two of them about to abuse each other, wisely turned and left.

At the same time, he was muttering curses under his breath...

After all, he could have reached base, even though the other guy was a bandit leader...

Seeing Zhao Manyan and leave, and Jiang Shaoxu become engrossed in the herbs again, Tang Miao, filled with curiosity, came to the small fountain.

Then the bead was placed on top, and it quickly began to absorb energy. However, just like in that ruin before, it only absorbed one-third of it.

The bead now contains two-thirds of its energy. After the bead has absorbed all of its energy, Tang Miao places the Kirin Jade back at the fountain.

Then, the continuous flow of water was seen being sucked into the Kirin Jade.

Tang Miao was somewhat puzzled; this was the first time he had ever seen Kirin Jade show interest in anything other than a totem!

Tang Miao looked around and wondered, "Could it be that there are Huaxia totems here as well?"
