The beastmen were a level-one reincarnator who could barely hold on against the woman. Like any other reincarnator, he was absolutely no match for these Orc; it was a difference in level and strength.

However, similarly, when Level 2 creatures face Level 1 Reincarnators, the roles are completely reversed. Although they have an advantage in numbers, the power of the Level 1 Reincarnators inevitably leads to their demise.

So after putting up an Orc fight for several minutes, Nina killed them one by one.

Nina's victory was not easy; her arm was struck by a spiked club, resulting in a broken arm and numerous injuries, leaving her looking quite pitiful.

Li Wei knew that this injury was nothing serious for the girl; she would recover in just over ten minutes at most.

Composing himself, Li Wei also left his hiding place. At that moment, the reincarnator that Nina had saved was thanking Nina with the remaining seven or eight magic crystal warriors.

However, Li Wei sensed something else from these people.

Upon seeing Li Wei, the reincarnator was initially taken aback, but judging from his aura, he didn't detect anything extraordinary about Li Wei. Moreover, since he was the same person as this beautiful young woman, why had a woman lead the charge earlier?

What does this tell us?

Without a doubt, this shows that his strength is very average. Looking at Li Wei's somewhat handsome appearance, this reincarnator immediately categorized Li Wei as a gigolo who lives off women.

This discovery completely put his mind at ease.

The Orc dropped three items: an iron sword, an iron ring, and a red healing potion.

These items may seem worthless, but their attributes are quite impressive. This iron sword is better than many weapons sold in Shadow Street, with an attack power exceeding the Strength Rank. It's suitable for both resale and personal use.

The other iron ring enhances strength, and such items are extremely rare. Wearing it often provides an attribute boost equivalent to practicing a low-level cultivation technique.

In the eyes of this reincarnator, both items are something he is determined to obtain, and now is also an opportunity for him.

This woman is clearly also a reincarnator, and at a high level. Killing her would definitely yield a very rich reward.

And wouldn't it be wonderful if I could have some real fun before killing her?

It's hard to believe that this reincarnator would have such thoughts, harboring evil intentions towards the benefactor who just saved his life. After all, no one with a conscience would do such a thing.

But in this day and age, how much is conscience worth?

Having witnessed too many tragedies, this reincarnator understood that to survive, one could not have any compassion; the only one to blame was this woman for being too foolish and naive.

Now, with the woman's arm broken and her injury severe, it's the perfect opportunity to strike. As for the other man, judging from his cowardly behavior cowering in the woods, he's clearly a timid ordinary person.

Such a person is nothing to worry about; we can just kill him later.

On the surface, he still looked grateful, but he was secretly signaling to his companions with hand gestures. The seven or eight magic crystal warriors had been following him for quite some time, and they immediately understood their leader's intentions.

In particular, the leader promised that they could have a taste of this woman together, and immediately these magic crystal warriors felt a heat in their lower abdomens, and their eyes became somewhat fiery as they looked at Nina.

All of this was observed by Li Wei, who was standing to the side.

Soon, two magic crystal warriors approached Li Wei under the guise of expressing their gratitude, while the others quietly surrounded Nina. Li Wei could even sense that their supernatural abilities were being activated.

Li Wei's eyebrows twitched; he had already sensed a hint of conspiracy.

The next reincarnator's actions caught Li Wei's attention. Seeing that Nina was recovering from her wounds, the other person very attentively took out a bottle of pills.

"I obtained this Cure elixir by chance. It has miraculous effects on healing this kind of wound. You were injured while saving us, so please accept this small token of our appreciation." As he spoke, he twisted open the bottle and handed it to Nina.

The latter brought the bottle to his nose and smelled it. He could indeed smell a medicinal fragrance, and the fragrance had a special quality, so he didn't suspect anything. He poured out a pink pill and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly in her mouth, like a clear spring flowing down her throat. Nina then felt a warm sensation spreading from her lower abdomen.

Nina let out a long breath, feeling a little dizzy. But her mind was quite clear; the strange feeling was very familiar, just like when she was in Li Wei's arms.

She didn't see the glint of light flash in the eyes of the reincarnator opposite her.

At this moment, Li Wei realized that there must be something wrong with that bottle of pills. Although he was not an expert in pharmacy and could not identify the ingredients of the pills by their appearance and smell, his intuition told him that this reincarnator had no good intentions.

From the moment Li Wei first noticed the trickery in the four-hearted battle of the magic crystals, he sensed something amiss. He also noticed that the way they separated him and Nina seemed to be preparation for a sudden attack, and then there was that pill.

Everything indicated that the other party had malicious intentions.

After thinking it over, Li Wei understood. In this desolate Jungle, even if he did something outrageous, no one would notice. He killed a high-level female reincarnator who appeared to be severely injured and with her strength greatly reduced. He would gain her Guardian, which would not only allow him to fuse with her and improve his attributes, but also give him access to the items in her storage space—a win-win situation.

But they forgot who had jumped out to save them not long ago.

Finally, the other side was about to make their move.

At this moment, Nina's face was flushed and her eyes were glazed because of the pill. Seeing this, the reincarnator suddenly turned his hand into a bone blade and slashed at Nina.

He was targeting Nina's tendons in her hands and feet. Once he severed these organs that controlled her limbs, no matter how powerful she was, she would be at his mercy.

At the same time, the two magic crystal warriors who were close to Li Wei also used their special abilities, seemingly intending to kill Li Wei on the spot.

"Court death!"

A sudden surge of extreme anger erupted within Li Wei.

This is the nature of human nature. Even someone who saved your life can turn against you out of greed and desire, disregarding gratitude. Even an inhuman beast wouldn't do such a thing, but humans can.

And without any hesitation.

With Qi Blast, Li Wei unleashed two lightning-fast strikes, slamming them into the chests of the two magic crystal warriors who had been stealing his power. Only the sounds of cracking bones and screams filled the air. The two were instantly blasted into pieces by the overwhelming force.

The scattered pieces of meat were still burning fiercely. Because the flames were formed from true energy, they burned for a long time, and soon the pieces of meat were burned into black charcoal.

This unexpected turn of events took everyone by surprise.

The reincarnator who had ambushed Nina was also so frightened that he stopped his attack, and when he looked at Li Wei again, his eyes were filled with extreme terror.

"Damn it, I misjudged him, this kid is actually this powerful!" He immediately abandoned his attack on Nina and led the remaining magic crystal warriors to surround Li Wei.

He knew that Nina was not going to escape for the time being; he had just given her a Spring Pill that he had finally managed to obtain.

What is Spring Pill?

It was a demonic substance that almost everyone despised to use. Although it smelled of medicine, it was a truly harmful thing, regardless of gender. Anyone who took this pill would experience a surge of lustful desires in no time, their expression becoming dazed and completely controlled by their body's most primal urges.

Using this device, this reincarnator has already toyed with many female reincarnators, and even some noble girls and young ladies from wealthy families in the real world have fallen victim to his cruelty.

Nina's current state is clearly under the influence of drugs; she is completely unaware of the battle raging around her.

"Kid, if you leave now, I'll spare your life. It's not worth it for a woman like that. What's the most precious thing in this world? It's your own life. People will do anything to survive, right?" The reincarnator's expression was completely distorted. He tried to calm Li Wei down with words while looking for an opportunity to attack.

However, the result disappointed him; even though the young man opposite him stood there casually, he couldn't find any flaws.

This made his heart sink.

"Could this kid be a master?" The reincarnator had a bad feeling after thinking about how the other party had killed two of his subordinates with a single blow.

"Yes, you're right. Life is the most important thing. To survive in this world, you need to be ruthless. The weak cannot survive. However," Li Wei glanced at the other person with eyes that seemed to be fixed on a dead man, "In my eyes, you are an absolute weakling, and a weakling who has offended me."

As he spoke, Li Wei unleashed a powerful killing intent, so tangible that even the grass beneath his feet trembled under its force.

It wasn't until the reincarnator felt a scorching sword aura slice through his chest that he realized he had provoked someone he shouldn't have, but it was too late. In less than a minute, the grass was covered with burning, mangled corpses, and the black conch shell in Li Wei's hand was also wreathed in flames, so it wasn't stained with even a drop of blood.

Nina hadn't recovered yet, so Li Wei quickly went over and pulled her into his arms. This wasn't a place to linger. The reason he used his Blazing True Qi to burn all the stones was to prevent the smell of blood from attracting monsters, but even so, they still needed to be careful.

After a few leaps, Li Wei carried Nina behind a boulder. They could only rest there for now. Looking at Nina in his arms, he saw her clinging tightly to him, her rosy cheeks rubbing against his chest, her eyes hazy with desire. To find out what happens next...
