Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

The armor of those Holy Knights had fine metallic patterns on it.

The pattern is exactly the same as the one on my body.

No wonder he felt the armor looked familiar; it was the same armor he had worn before.

Xu Yao gently stroked the patterns on the armor, and felt a warmth in his heart.

"I'm back." A familiar voice rang in Xu Yao's ears.

"Mmm." Xu Yao responded softly, then looked up at the boy standing in front of him.

"Aze, you're back? How did it go? Did you suffer any losses?" the boy asked Xu Yao.

Xu Yao shook his head: "And you? What are your casualties?"

"My men suffered no losses."

Hearing the boy's words, Xu Yao's eyes lit up: "Since there was no loss, that's good. Let me treat your injuries first."

"Mm," Aze replied softly.

Xu Yao immediately sat down and placed his hand on Aze's shoulder.

"I'm going to transfer my battle aura to you now, so please be patient," Xu Yao reminded him, and Aze nodded.

Xu Yao frowned, feeling his fighting spirit continuously draining away.

But there was no time to worry about that now, Xu Yao directly activated his battle qi and transferred it to Aze.

Aze felt a sudden surge of heat rising from his body, a heat carrying a rich life force, and the pain vanished in an instant.

Aze opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yao in shock.

This young man, who was even younger than himself, possessed an inexhaustible life force and was filled with mysterious power.

Aze knew that Xu Yao was saving him, so he hurriedly took out several bottles of pills from his storage ring and handed them to Xu Yao.

"Thank you," Aze said sincerely.

Xu Yao waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It was just a small favor. Besides, I need some things too. So, we're mutually beneficial."

He didn't refuse the pills that Aze offered, after all, he did need something at this time.

"What about those monsters? I remember they seemed to have come looking for food," Aze said with some worry.

"I just checked the strength of those demonic beasts," Xu Yao said.

“Those demonic beasts are not weak, but they are not a threat to us,” Xu Yao said.

Although those monsters are powerful, they are not very intelligent and their numbers are small, so as long as you are careful, there is no danger.

“Oh,” Aze said.

"By the way, I just saw you using lightning magic?" Xu Yao suddenly asked Aze.

“Yes, the cultivation technique I practice is lightning magic, and my profession is a lightning mage,” Aze said.

Xu Yao nodded slightly. He had also practiced lightning magic, but he practiced light magic.

However, light magic also has many advantages, but it is not suitable for him to learn these spells at the moment.

“Your magic is quite good, but I still suggest you learn light magic,” Xu Yao said to Aze.

"Light magic? But I'm not good at light magic," Aze said, puzzled.

Xu Yao smiled and said to Aze, "Don't worry, just follow along with me."

After searching his mind, he exchanged several Light Magic Scrolls from his system inventory and handed them to Aze.

Aze stared blankly at the scroll in Xu Yao's hand, then asked, "This is...."

“These are some magic scrolls I’ve been researching. I think they might be helpful to you,” Xu Yao said.

Aze hesitated for a moment, then accepted the scrolls.

Xu Yao handed the scrolls to Aze and then left.

After Xu Yao left, Aze couldn't wait to start flipping through the magic scrolls.

These scrolls were all light-based magic, and Aze quickly mastered one or two of them.

"I didn't expect light magic to be so powerful; my strength has increased again," Aze said excitedly.

Aze looked at the light magic scroll in his hand and murmured, "I must become stronger."

"I'll show those people that I can kill them even without my fighting spirit!" Aze clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

After returning to his room, Xu Yao lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

He's been so exhausted lately, he needs a good rest.

Xu Yao slowly opened his eyes.

"Sleeping is definitely the most comfortable thing," Xu Yao said with a yawn.

He had been traveling non-stop for a while and hadn't rested at all, so he was already feeling quite tired.

"By the way, what was that black hole all about last night?" Xu Yao murmured, looking at the black hole next to him.

That black hole doesn't seem to exist naturally; rather, it seems to be the product of being bombarded by something powerful.

"Could it be that Saint-level Holy Dragon did it?" Xu Yao wondered to himself.

Xu Yao walked to the edge of the huge pit, and after observing it carefully, he narrowed his eyes.

"There are traces of a barrier around this deep pit. These Saint-level Holy Dragons must have entered the ruins from here."

"Moreover, this barrier is very ancient, unlike a modern magic circle."

"Could this be a magical barrier left over from ancient times?" Xu Yao muttered to himself.

However, he has no interest in that right now; what he needs to do now is to uncover the ruins of that temple.

A smile curved Xu Yao's lips; he was becoming increasingly excited about the temple ruins.

After resting enough, Xu Yao left the inn, intending to go outside the city to hunt those monsters.

This forest is very large, so there are many monsters.

Xu Yao did not choose to fly out directly to capture the monsters, because he did not know which monsters he could catch.

Or perhaps he wasn't sure which monsters were aggressive.

Before heading to the area where the monsters gathered, Xu Yao first threw away the scrolls he was holding.

Then he threw all the scrolls into his backpack.

These scrolls were obtained by Xu Yao from the cave in that valley.

Although these scrolls were very valuable, Xu Yao did not care about their value.

Because these scrolls are only worth a few thousand points.

However, the magic cores and crystals in his spatial backpack were very valuable, and he needed to prepare sufficient supplies for this hunt of those monsters.

After walking for about half a day, Xu Yao encountered a group of level 5 demonic beasts, Flame Lions.

The Flame Lion is a fire-elemental magical pet, although its level is not very high.
