"Meow!"
Mo Ran tilted her head, gazing at the scene before her with wide-eyed astonishment!
"Alright, alright, it's not like I did it on purpose. I'll find another one later and leave it half-dead for you!"
Zhang Chen said, stroking Mo Ran's soft hair.
"Meow!"
Whether Mo Ran understood or not, she purred, stretching her neck out with an expression of enjoyment.
"Let's go, we need to hurry and find high-level demon spirits to fight. If those Phoenix Academy guys get them, we'll be at a huge disadvantage!"
"Although... looking at the skill level of that Phoenix Academy student just now... I might be worrying too much!"
Zhang Chen put the third-tier spirit core into his storage ring, muttering to himself.
It was a pity that the cute little girl beside him couldn't speak, otherwise, he wouldn't have to talk to himself.
But... speaking of which, what was her self-perception now, cat or human?
Seeing that Zhang Chen had stopped stroking her, Mo Ran quickly snuggled closer, purring and rubbing against Zhang Chen's arm.
"A cat, definitely a cat! What human acts like this!"
Zhang Chen said with absolute certainty.
The two of them walked through the corridor and leaped out of the window.
They were about ten meters above the ground.
Mo Ran landed silently on a rock on the ground.
Zhang Chen, however, crashed heavily onto the ground with a loud thud.
Without any finesse, relying on his powerful physique, he didn't need any techniques. As long as he didn't die, it was fine.
The road here had returned to its flat state. In the distance, faint sounds of giant hands were still being swung, seemingly fighting with someone.
"Still time!"
Zhang Chen ran forward again with all his might.
Mo Ran still ran ahead, squatting on the ground, resting her chin, and waiting for Zhang Chen to run over.
Then she would nimbly dart dozens of meters ahead and slowly watch Zhang Chen.
This made Zhang Chen feel both adorable and exasperating!
"Save... me..."
Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from a nearby alley, as if the person was on the verge of dying.
Zhang Chen turned his head to look.
He saw the girl who had been chased by the female ghost earlier.
Now she was unfortunately caught by three more third-tier demon spirits.
These three demon spirits were different from other fierce-looking demon spirits. They were three long-haired women without facial features (judging by their figures, you understand).
These three women surrounded the girl in a triangle.
The girl was suspended in mid-air by a powerful force. From her mouth, ears, and limbs, energy was slowly flowing into the bodies of the three faceless women.
The girl mustered her last bit of strength and let out a cry for help, then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Hiss!"
Seeing demon spirits, Mo Ran immediately entered combat mode.
Zhang Chen stood in place, unmoving.
"No rush, I see there's still quite a bit of energy in her spirit core. As long as it's not completely drained, the energy can be recovered through long-term care and rest."
"She used us as a shield before, so it's only fitting she suffers a bit. It's not too late to save her!"
Zhang Chen put his hands in his pockets, took out his phone, and snapped a few pictures with a click-click, then put the phone back into his pocket.
"That's about enough, time to make a move!"
"I'll use ten percent of my strength, and then you finish the kill. Remember?"
Zhang Chen said as he gestured.
"Meow meow meow!"
Mo Ran nodded, looking eager.
"Here I go!"
Zhang Chen took a deep breath, retracted nine-tenths of the strength in his fist, and then casually threw a punch at the nearest faceless woman.
It was an ordinary-looking straight punch.
Bang!
The faceless woman was fully enjoying her prey and didn't notice anyone approaching.
This punch hit her squarely in the face, and the immense impact sent her flying backward, her back hitting the wall as she soared horizontally.
"Meow!"
The demon spirit flew fast, but Mo Ran moved even faster.
She shot out like an arrow from a bow, and while moving at high speed along the wall, she unleashed a rapid flurry of attacks on the faceless woman.
Soon, the faceless woman turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
At this moment, the other two faceless women immediately abandoned the girl and charged towards Zhang Chen.
They were very fast, but in Zhang Chen's eyes, their speed was like slow-motion playback!
He could even yawn and dodge!
Just as the two faceless women were about to grab Zhang Chen's face with their claws, one after another.
The latter suddenly flickered, and with two more bangs.
One faceless woman was sent crashing to the ground, while the other was sent flying upwards.
Mo Ran followed suit, a shadow in motion, and quickly finished off these two weakened third-tier demon spirits.
At this point, Zhang Chen noticed a faint white ring appearing around Mo Ran's spirit core.
Had she leveled up?!
