A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy from afar, which impacted their senses like waves crashing against the ocean.

"Wow, the guardian beast of this spirit mine is probably quite formidable!" Jiang Ye rubbed his hands together, eager to try but also a little apprehensive.

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him: "Nonsense, this is a spirit mine. Without some powerful guys guarding it, wouldn't anyone be able to come and mine it? If it were that easy, would it be our turn?"

The two cautiously approached the spirit mine, where the air was filled with a dense spiritual energy that was almost solidified.

Suddenly, a massive figure slowly emerged from the depths of the spirit mine and blocked their path.

This is a pure white, lion-shaped mythical beast with a spiral horn on its forehead that emits a soft glow.

Its golden eyes coldly stared at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye, emitting a low warning: "Humans, leave this place!"

"Wow, that aura, it's definitely the demeanor of a king!" Jiang Ye muttered to himself, his hand already unconsciously tightening its grip on his weapon.

He was about to rush forward and fight head-on when Ye Shuli grabbed him.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed? This kid doesn't look like someone to mess with. You'll definitely suffer if you fight him head-on!" Ye Shuli said irritably.

"What should we do then? We can't just go back empty-handed, can we?" Jiang Ye was somewhat unwilling.

"What's the rush? I have my own way." Ye Shuli smiled mysteriously, her gaze fixed on the spirit beast guarding the spirit mine, and she began to plan...

She noticed that although the spirit beast was aggressive, there was a subtle hint of something else in its eyes...

disturbed?

Ye Shuli narrowed her eyes slightly, "Wait..."

Ye Shuli squinted as she observed the spirit beast. Although this big guy looked majestic, she had a feeling...

Something is wrong.

She noticed that the spirit beast would occasionally scratch its belly with its paws and twitch its nose, as if it were sniffing something.

"Wait, this thing can't be..." A sudden thought flashed through Ye Shuli's mind, and a bold guess emerged.

"Jiang Ye, do you smell anything unusual?" Ye Shuli asked, turning her head.

"Taste? Besides the overwhelming spiritual energy that's almost suffocating me, what else tastes like?" Jiang Ye was completely bewildered.

Ye Shuli sighed, thinking, "This idiot's nose is probably not just for show!"

She focused her mind and carefully discerned other scents in the air besides spiritual energy, finally catching a faint, herbal fragrance.

"I've got it!" Ye Shuli was overjoyed. Based on her extensive knowledge of modern botany, this flavor should be...

There must be Moon Spirit Grass nearby!

Moon Spirit Grass is a medicinal herb that has a special attraction to spirit beasts, especially young spirit beasts, as it can promote their growth.

Judging from the size and behavior of the spirit beast, it should still be an underage "little kid".

Thinking of this, Ye Shuli's lips curled into a sly smile.

"You wait here, I'll be right back." Ye Shuli said this and then disappeared into the nearby woods.

Jiang Ye looked bewildered. What was this guy up to now?

However, he always had a mysterious trust in Ye Shuli, so he obediently waited.

Not long after, Ye Shuli returned, carrying a herb that emitted a faint fragrance.

"That's the smell!" Jiang Ye's eyes lit up. The smell was indeed somewhat similar to the smell emanating from the spirit beast.

"Go!" Ye Shuli threw the Moon Spirit Grass away from the spirit mine.

The spirit beast took the bait!

It had been watching Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye warily, but after smelling the scent of the Moon Spirit Grass, its eyes instantly became glazed over, and then it ran towards the Moon Spirit Grass without hesitation.

"The opportunity has come, let's go!" Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye and ran towards the spirit mine.

However, they were happy too early.

The spirit beast quickly realized it had been tricked. It let out an angry roar and turned to chase after Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

That speed was even faster than a rocket launch!

Jiang Ye turned pale with fright. "Holy crap! Has this kid taken the wrong medicine? Why is he running so fast!"

Ye Shuli remained unfazed. "Stop talking nonsense, run!"

Just as the spirit beast was about to catch up with them, Ye Shuli suddenly stopped, turned to look at Jiang Ye, and said in a frighteningly calm tone, "Jiang Ye..."

"Jiang Ye, you attract its attention, I'll figure something out." Ye Shuli's tone was calm, but carried an undeniable firmness.

"Huh? Wait, are you sending me to my death?!" Jiang Ye's calves trembled as he watched the spirit beast aggressively chasing after him.

Although he's usually a goofball, he's not stupid when it matters. This spirit beast is clearly stronger than him, and going head-to-head with it would be like lighting a lantern in the toilet—a death wish.

"Stop talking nonsense, just go for it!" Ye Shuli kicked Jiang Ye in the butt, sending him flying right in front of the spirit beast.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die too badly," she added, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.

Jiang Ye was on the verge of tears, but had no choice but to grit his teeth and face the challenge.

He brandished his weapon, barely managing to fend off the spirit beast's attacks, but the difference in strength was simply too great. Before long, he found himself in dire straits, utterly disheveled.

"Damn, is this kid on stimulants? He's so ruthless!" he muttered as he dodged.

Ye Shuli calmly observed the attack patterns of the spirit beast from the side.

She discovered that the spirit beast's eyes would briefly close the moment it launched an attack, just like...

As if she were shy.

"I see!" Ye Shuli's lips curled into a sly smile.

"Jiang Ye, keep attracting its attention, watch its eyes!" Ye Shuli shouted.

Although Jiang Ye didn't understand what Ye Shuli was going to do, he did as she said.

He deliberately made some exaggerated movements to attract the spirit beast's attack.

The spirit beast fell for the trick and launched attacks time and time again, but Jiang Ye managed to dodge them all.

Just as the spirit beast launched another attack and closed its eyes, Ye Shuli threw out a stone she had brought from the modern world that would emit a strong light in the dark.

"It'll blind your titanium alloy dog ​​eyes!"

A bright light suddenly shone, and the spirit beast's eyes were jerked shut by the shock, letting out a painful roar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye rushed into the spirit mine with lightning speed.

The spirit beast roared angrily outside, but it was unable to enter the spirit mine.

It seemed to have some kind of apprehension about the interior of the spirit mine.

After entering the spirit mine, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye did not let their guard down.

They knew this was only the first step in a long journey, and there were definitely more dangers waiting for them inside the spirit mine.

"Next comes the real challenge..." Ye Shuli said softly, gripping her weapon tightly.

The two cautiously made their way deeper into the spirit mine when suddenly, a slight tremor resounded...

"Wait..." Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye.
