Zhou Wan voiced her question,
prompting the others to approach, their faces full of questions too.
After all, the visual impact of Lu Yuan's attack just now had been far too great!
It was only natural for them to have questions.
So Lu Yuan told them the truth. "This is an S-rank Skill called 'Ice Blast Technique,' created by my mentor. I only learned it yesterday..."
Zhou Wan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Huh↗? An S-rank Skill?!"
The other members of Fire Fox Team were shocked all over again!
After all, an S-rank Skill book was worth an unimaginable amount, let alone a self-created S-rank Skill, which was even rarer!
But that wasn't the main point.
More importantly, Lu Yuan had learned an S-rank Skill so quickly!
After all, it had only been about three weeks since Lu Yuan entered Shencheng Supernatural University.
Even if he had started learning it on his very first day, it had still only been barely three weeks.
In those three weeks, they hadn't even managed to learn a C-rank Skill.
An S-rank Skill? That was pure fantasy!
It was enough to show just how monstrous Lu Yuan's talent for comprehension was!
He'd mastered an S-rank Skill in such a short time!
But thinking about it carefully, if it hadn't been an S-rank Skill, the Unicorn Rhinoceros—clearly a Second Order Middle Rank beast—would never have been killed in one blow, and half the Primal Energy in Lu Yuan's body wouldn't have vanished into thin air.
"Lu Yuan, the rest of us aren't strong enough to stay here for long. The risk really is too great. What about you? Are you staying here?"
After they finished gathering the valuable spoils from the Unicorn Rhinoceros, Zhou Wan suddenly said this.
Her words carried a hint of sadness that was hard to explain.
Lies didn't hurt people; the truth was the sharpest blade!
Though it sounded sad, it was indeed the truth.
They really weren't strong enough. Staying here wouldn't help much, and they might even affect Lu Yuan's performance.
Still, Zhou Wan worried that Lu Yuan might want to keep hunting beasts here,
so she added a question at the end.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan nodded.
He did want to stay here and keep hunting beasts.
After all, compared to the outside, in terms of Evolution Points, killing one beast here was worth a whole day's gains out there!
"All right." Zhou Wan nodded, then said, "We'll head back first. Be careful on your own! Don't worry, we won't shortchange you on your share!"
In fact, worried that Lu Yuan might run out of energy potions, Zhou Wan even stuffed most of the energy potions from her backpack into his, keeping only one for herself.
You had to hand it to her—Zhou Wan really knew how to look after people.
It was worth mentioning that Lu Yuan's original spear hadn't been able to withstand the force of his "Ice Blast Technique,"
so it had shattered along with the Unicorn Rhinoceros, breaking into several pieces!
Therefore, just before leaving, Huang Hao handed Lu Yuan his own spear as well.
He'd paid over two hundred thousand for it, and its quality was even better than Lu Yuan's previous one.
"My spear wasn't cheap. You'd better take good care of it, kid!"
Huang Hao said.
"Don't worry, Brother Hao."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
After the other members of Fire Fox Team left, Lu Yuan felt that he had more or less recovered,
so he raced deeper into the area.
Evolution Points—there were so many of them just waiting to be collected...
About ten minutes later, Lu Yuan realized something very important!
Zhou Wan had forgotten to leave him the map!
He'd been planning to return to where they'd been and see if Zhou Wan would come back to give him the map.
But all he could see was trees to his left and trees to his right...
How was he supposed to know where the original spot was?
The next second, a rustling sound came from the bushes nearby.
Hiss, hiss, hiss~
A Purple Fang Snake slithered past his eyes!
A smile immediately spread across Lu Yuan's lips.
Look at that—free Evolution Points had just come right to him!
One thrust of his spear,
[You killed a Second Order Lower Rank beast, Purple Fang Snake. Evolution Points +130!]
"Not bad at all."
Hearing the system's pleasant chime, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
He had a new idea now.
Even though he didn't have a map and couldn't return to his original spot to get it,
why not just wander around nearby without going too far?!
Getting back was simple enough—he could just keep heading in the direction he'd come from.
He couldn't follow the exact same route back,
but luckily, Jiang Zhan City was huge and stood out clearly, visible from far away.
With that in mind, Lu Yuan began circling around the nearby area.
Whenever he passed a tree, he also used his dagger to carve a mark into it, leaving himself a trail.
Until he pushed aside the bushes...
and found an open clearing ahead, with a beast's lair in its midst.
"I may as well see what kind of beast lives there before heading out."
Cautious, Lu Yuan crouched beside the bushes and watched closely.
After observing for a while, Lu Yuan reached a conclusion.
