The mountain climber raised its head, trying to put up a final resistance, but its trembling body gradually stiffened, like a toy without power, stopping segment by segment. The rapidly fading purple color revealed its inevitable death.

With a crash, it lost all its energy and collapsed instantly, rolling and clattering across the ground, forming a veritable mountain of garbage.

Item transfer. Zuo Xiuyan immediately used his supernatural ability to control everything near Xiong Yu'an, making it float in the air to prevent her from falling.

Then, slowly dragging a base as thick as a wall, carrying Xiong Yu'an, it slowly descended to the "mountain top".

Zuo Xiuyan teleported to her side.

Xiong Yu'an sat down, raised his head and laughed, his eyes exceptionally bright and spirited.

This was the first time Xiong Yu'an had smiled.

Despite the filth and grime around her, her radiance remained undiminished.

"Sister, I killed it!"

"I killed that huge monster!"

"I killed him all by myself!"

She spoke excitedly, looking at Zuo Xiuyan.

The trash is decreasing, the filth is fading, and only clean metal parts remain.

"Yu'an, you're really amazing." Zuo Xiuyan smiled and sent his flames to heal her wounds. "May I sit next to you?"

Xiong Yu'an nodded directly without hesitation.

Zuo Xiuyan was happy for her.

Xiong Yu'an overcame enormous obstacles and fears, successfully giving her courage and helping her find confidence.

This is why Zuo Xiuyan didn't take action.

If the final monster also helps, Xiong Yu'an will not be able to get out.

This will only instill the idea that "she is useless and needs help from others."

However, Zuo Xiuyan only wanted Xiong Yu'an to see with her own eyes how outstanding and intelligent she was, how capable she was, and how she could do it.

Beneath her feet lay the fruits of her own labor.

Zuo Xiuyan sat down and said with a smile, "So many spoils of war."

Xiong Yu'an chuckled softly, gazing at the sea and the small hill at his feet:

"That's right, this is the empire I conquered for you."

The two of them burst out laughing at the same time.

Zuo Xiuyan nodded: "So, it really was the emperor personally leading the expedition, bringing peace to the four seas."

Xiong Yu'an smiled with his lips pursed, without saying a word, looking down at Xiaoshan as if he was thinking about something.

Zuo Xiuyan stopped talking and just stayed quietly with her.

After a while, Xiong Yu'an turned his head, opened his palm, and flames gathered on it, forming the shape of a boomerang:

"Sister, I think this weapon is perfect for me."

Zuo Xiuyan said with gentle approval, "That's great, did you just discover it?"

"Hmm!" Xiong Yu'an suddenly felt the urge to share. Unlike his usual taciturn nature, he poured out all the details and thoughts from the previous battle, and also talked about the benefits of the new weapon.

"It can engage in close combat as well as long-range attacks, consumes less energy, gathers energy quickly, and is easier to control."

Zuo Xiuyan nodded: "That's right, this suits you perfectly."

By this time, the screams of the mermaids in the distance could hardly be heard. Their scattered numbers made Little Sadness lose interest in playing on the trampoline. She swam around like a bored big fish, catching and eating whichever little fish she could find.

Zuo Xiuyan observed for a while and no new monsters emerged from the seabed, so it seemed that the second level was about to end.

She whistled, and Little Sadness flew over in a flash, shrinking smaller and smaller until it was only the size of two fists.

Like a glowing black teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a teru bozu), it floated beside her.

But it was clear that Xiao Beishou was very restless. After pausing for a while, she quickly circled around Zuo Xiuyan's body in various directions.

Without the suppression, the mermaids seemed to have forgotten everything and surged towards Xiong Yu'an.

When they quickly crawled to the foot of the mountain, they ran around and cried out, anxiously and restlessly raising their sickles and then putting them down again.

It was as if these metals were something too hot to handle, so none of them dared to touch them and climbed up the mountain.

Xiong Yu'an, who had just gripped his weapon warily, looked at the monster's behavior in surprise: "What's wrong with them?"

Zuo Xiu said, "The big guy didn't get along with them before. When he knocked the mermaid away, there was no direct contact, but rather a layer between them."

"At that time, I guessed that the large body had a suppressive effect on them, and had a repulsive energy."

Zuo Xiuyan raised his hand, and a piece of metal floated up: "Want to build with blocks, Yu An?"

"Building Blocks?"

“Yes, build your safe house, or rather, your private base. With this metal, these monsters can’t get in.”

Xiong Yu'an's surprise was palpable; these words particularly appealed to her: "My house!? I want to build it!"

"Try to see if your flames can control these things. If not, I can use my powers to help you. You be the designer, and I'll build them for you."

"Okay!" Xiong Yu'an tried to wrap a small piece of metal with flames, and then watched it gradually float, moving left, right, up and down according to her will.

She happily wrapped herself in an even larger piece, until it exceeded the size of two basketballs and could no longer move.

"Sister, you can do it!"

Xiong Yu'an was very satisfied and couldn't wait to walk down the mountain, pointing to a spot: "We'll build it there."

Zuo Xiuyan accompanied her downstairs: "Do you want a round one or a square one?"

Xiong Yu'an pondered, "Square shapes are too common; everyone has square houses. I want round ones."

"Besides, I'm not very good at designing. If it's square, I'll just put it together like a matchbox."

"If it's round, even a sphere would look good."

Zuo Xiuyan smiled and said, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the range of his item transfer ability was immediately maximized.

Xiong Yu'an was surprised to see the metal at the foot of the mountain rumbling and trembling, gathering into a long dragon that meandered and flew in the direction she had just pointed.

Then they fell in an orderly fashion, gradually forming a large circular wall.

Xiong Yu'an stood there, stunned.

Zuo Xiuyan held out his hand: "Should we go straight there?"

Xiong Yu'an held it in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived inside the circular wall.

The closer you get, the more you can feel how magnificent it is. It's like a small park. If it weren't for the lack of buildings, you could easily mistake it for the outer perimeter of a small castle.

"I'm just circling it for you first, then you can take your time to design it, no rush."

Xiong Yu'an was overwhelmed with emotion, extremely excited, yet also felt a profound sense of security.

Is it really that simple to have your own territory?

Xiong Yu'an slowly turned around in disbelief, wanting to take in all this simple yet complex scene and remember it.

Those thick, high walls seemed to be able to block countless storms and waves, and were indestructible.

It can protect everything she wants, and she will never have to worry about external dangers again.

Here, you are the one who calls the shots.

Xiong Yu'an felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

My sister is willing to do anything I say, and she can do it immediately.

Even in a fake world.

"This land will always belong to you," Zuo Xiuyan said softly.
