System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

As expected, the Divine Ore Blade lived up to its reputation as a divine weapon specifically designed to counter demons and bizarre creatures. After the sword struck, Chen Xuan felt a slight resistance in his hand, but a violent, savage sword-wielding force was already raging within the bizarre creature's head.

The Dao of Sword contains the power of the Yin, the Sun, and even multiple Daos. When it explodes in the head, such a crucial part, how terrifying is its power?

"Boom!"

In an instant, streams of nauseating liquid burst open, splashing a lot onto Chen Xuan's face. Wang Kaixuan was in even worse shape, with his entire back and the back of his head covered in a large amount of liquid.

The battle lasted only about a breath, so even though Wang Kaixuan had broken free from the strange creature's grasp, he was still in a state of extreme shock and confusion.

When he felt something sticky on the back of his head, he turned pale, gasping for breath, and turned to look at the strange thing behind him that had exploded into pieces.

Wang Kaixuan, still shaken, looked at Chen Xuan with a mixture of fear and gratitude in his eyes and said, "Junior brother, if it weren't for your timely intervention, I would have really gone to see Grandma."

After the crisis was over, Chen Xuan was still shaken. He quickly wiped the sticky liquid off his face and looked at his senior brother, whose face was extremely pale, and said, "I never thought that the strange creature with intelligence that the higher-ups of the God-Slaying Guard spoke of would attack us in such an unexpected way."

After landing, the two used water-based magic to remove the filthy, sticky liquid from their bodies.

Wang Kaixuan also cultivates the Divine Demon Body Refinement. That strange creature was greedy and wanted to eat him alive. Otherwise, if that claw had pierced his head instead of his chest, even Chen Xuan would have been powerless to save him.

For low-level divine and demonic body refiners, whose divine bodies have not yet transformed to the point of being able to regenerate from a drop of blood, their heads are their most fatal weakness.

Wang Kaixuan had a huge wound pierced through his chest, severely damaging his strength. He hurriedly took out various essential pills for the wilderness and then mobilized his divine power to recover from his injury.

Holding the divine ore knife, Chen Xuan stood beside his senior brother, warily watching the surrounding area filled with demonic energy that resembled ink.

Fortunately, until Wang Kaixuan recovered from his injuries, no other strange creatures came to attack this area of ​​demonic energy.

The stone armor on Wang Kaixuan's body had a huge hole torn in the chest area, and many of the runes on the armor had been destroyed, so the armor was completely ruined.

Fortunately, the two had also obtained two pieces of precious armor while exploring the ancient ruins.

"It's a miracle I survived. I never thought I could live to be attacked by such a bizarre creature."

Wang Kaixuan was about to put on a new stone armor and casually wanted to throw away the damaged one, but Chen Xuan stopped him.

Chen Xuan took the armor and carefully examined the array runes inside. After studying it for a while, he looked at Wang Kaixuan and said, "The craftsmanship of the runes on this armor is extremely sophisticated. If it hadn't been damaged and revealed its inner secrets, even with my knowledge, it would have been difficult to see through it."

Wang Kaixuan seemed lost in thought and did not interrupt Chen Xuan's train of thought.

"Without the protection of this armor, your body would most likely have been torn apart by that attack. It was only because of the armor's protection that it had no choice but to resort to that clumsy method in an attempt to devour you."

Wang Kaixuan's expression changed, and he belatedly said, "No wonder I only felt a chill on my back, and then I completely lost control of my body except for my thoughts."

After regaining their composure, the two became even more cautious about the area around them where demonic energy was concentrated.

"According to those two high-ranking members of the Godslayer Guard, it seems that these strange creatures invaded this world for the divine ore source stone."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xuan said, "In other words, wherever strange creatures appear, there must be divine mineral Origin Stones."
