I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

"This big guy likes that stuff that much?"

Ye Kang appeared in the air, a hint of frustration on his face.

The stone giant seemed to regard the stone heart and fire core as his lifeblood; if he were to pluck the flower, he would probably be chased to the ends of the earth.

But the system task has already been issued, so we have to give it a shot!

He flashed and reappeared above the stone giant's head, smashing his fist down with all his might, creating a small dent in the stone giant's head.

As the rubble burst forth, the roots of the stone core and fire stamen were exposed. Ye Kang reacted quickly and grabbed it.

The oriole was too weak to pull it out, but Ye Kang, with his extremely strong physical body, managed to break through the stone giant's demonic power seal and uproot it. Then, with a thought, the Stone Heart Fire Core entered the Black Jade Ancient Treasure.

At the same time, the stone giant, having lost his treasure, went completely mad.

A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth as the giant slammed its fists toward Ye Kang, who quickly teleported away to dodge.

With a loud crash, the stone giant's head shattered itself, and its movements were momentarily sluggish.

At that very moment, Ye Kang seized the opportunity, channeling all his true energy far and wide, unleashing his fastest speed since his debut.

He flashed five times in a row using the Shadow Step, all at the maximum distance, and then used his lightness skill to arrive at Gu Lingwei's location in almost an instant.

Without time to respond to the other person's shocked gaze, Ye Kang grabbed him with one hand, unleashed his full power of Imperial True Qi, and charged forward once more.

In those two short breaths, Ye Kang, unleashing his full power, almost transformed into a golden streak of light. At the same time, he activated the Concealing Qi Technique, doing his utmost to conceal his aura.

Behind him, the stone giant's head quickly recovered, and it roared again. With a tug on its legs, it chased after Ye Kang.

My only hair was stolen!

This hatred is irreconcilable!

But the stone giant's body was simply too large, and its weight was terrifying; it could destroy a swamp with a single step.

In addition, the stone itself has the characteristic of being as immovable as a mountain.

In terms of speed, he is indeed no match for martial artists of the same level.

Ye Kang had the upper hand, and his physical strength was so terrifying that he was actually not caught up!

But that's not enough. The stone giant will definitely hunt him down no matter what. He must run far enough away that the stone giant can't find him.

Ye Kang increased his speed again, but his true energy could hardly support it, so he quickly took a moment to feed himself a handful of Qi-restoring pills.

Gu Lingwei, who was in his arms, was affected by the rapid movement and could only open her eyelids slightly with difficulty.

But she still saw Ye Kang's movements. After a slight hesitation, she slowly took out a blue talisman from her sleeve.

All of a sudden!

The talisman was affixed to Ye Kang's body, and several bolts of lightning were quickly released, spreading throughout Ye Kang's entire body.

Then, Ye Kang felt that his speed had increased by another ten percent with the help of the thunder!

What are you waiting for!

Run!

Boom, boom, boom!

Golden light accompanied by thunder, Ye Kang streaked through the air with sparks and lightning, quickly escaping the stone giant's perception range. He then made several turns, running for an unknown amount of time until his true energy was exhausted and he could no longer hold on.

Finally, a canyon shrouded in thick fog appeared ahead. Ye Kang plunged into it, and dozens of Qi-restoring pills in his mouth exploded at the same time.

Bang!

The two crashed heavily against a stone wall and fell onto the damp, thick moss-covered ground.

Ignoring Gu Lingwei, who was on the verge of fainting, Ye Kang took out another bottle of pills from the ancient jade treasure and poured them directly into his mouth.

These were seized from various enemies, and their purpose is to quickly restore one's true energy.

In this perilous secret realm, exhausting one's true energy is definitely the most dangerous choice, which makes Ye Kang feel very insecure.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief when his true energy had recovered to about 70-80%.

"I don't even know how far I've run or how many directions I've taken. That big guy should be completely out of the loop. It would be impolite to be caught up with again."

Ye Kang sighed, and at the same time, as if to echo his thoughts, the system voice sounded.

【Ding】

[Mission Completed: Obtain the Stone Heartfire Core]

[Host receives reward: Comprehension]

"call……"

Ye Kang felt relieved.

Now we can really relax, the treasure hunt was a great success!

With the comprehension he gained, plus what he had left before, he now has quite a bit of comprehension!

Sure enough, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish; this is the fastest way to understand things.

Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh. Then he looked down and saw Gu Lingwei curled up like a child, leaning against his legs, her whole body trembling.

"Damn it! He's running too fast, this guy can't handle it!"

Ye Kang silently apologized and quickly used gentle Yi Wood True Qi to nourish Gu Lingwei's damaged meridians.

Although Ye Kang was focused on running away, he could still see the talisman that Gu Lingwei had desperately taken out earlier.

The talisman, like her spear technique, was of the lightning attribute. Although it only increased her speed by 10%, that 10% was enough to help her escape the stone giant's perception more quickly.

"Well then, a drink and a bite can be considered a connection."

Ye Kang shook his head and chuckled twice, then continued to slowly administer the breathing.

Nourished by the life force of the Yi Wood True Qi, Gu Lingwei's body finally stopped trembling, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Soon, she opened her eyes. Because the Yimu True Qi felt so good, she instinctively let out a soft moan.

The next second, she seemed to realize something, and stared wide-eyed at Ye Kang.

After a few moments of silence, she slowly stood up and politely interrupted Ye Kang's attempt to transfer his qi.

"Thanks."

She spoke softly, her face unconsciously shifting away from Ye Kang's gaze.

Ye Kang didn't care, and just looked at the surrounding environment and said, "I don't know where this place is, but at least we escaped. Speaking of which, I should apologize for making you suffer the pursuit of the stone demon."

Gu Lingwei blushed slightly and stubbornly shook her head, saying, "No need. You saved me first, and I, Gu Lingwei, am not one to be coy."

"Is that so? There's no need for you to be so strong, young lady. If it were me, I might be scared out of my wits right now."

Ye Kang burst into laughter.

Gu Lingwei was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Ye Kang with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me, young lady?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're a little strange."

"how you said that?"

"It's just... there's a bit of a disconnect. It feels like you're always deliberately acting like a lecher. Maybe I'm overthinking it, or maybe you are a lecher after all."

Gu Lingwei spoke bluntly, leaving Ye Kang stunned.

Good guy!

This girl is quite perceptive!

He quickly coughed twice and changed the subject, saying, "That stone demon must still be looking for us. Although it's dark here, it's still safe. If you don't mind, young lady, it would be best if you didn't leave first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingwei said, "But I came to the secret realm to search for treasure..."

Ye Kang laughed and said, "Without strength to protect you, even the best treasure is not yours. Since you have given me, Ye... Wang, a talisman, I will protect you on your journey."
