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

Just as they were on high alert, the source of that powerful aura rapidly approached. Before Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye could react, the second guardian beast suddenly appeared before them, radiating an even stronger spiritual power, its spiritual pressure causing the surrounding air to seem to solidify.

A powerful spiritual pressure swept over us; the second guardian beast had returned, and it was even stronger.

His azure eyes were burning with fury as he stared intently at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye, as if he wanted to devour them alive.

"Damn, did this little guy eat a powder keg?" Jiang Ye leaned against the wall and barely managed to stand up, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The attack from the second guardian beast had caused him considerable internal injuries.

The second guardian beast ignored Jiang Ye's complaints and pounced directly at Ye Shuli, its sharp claws flashing with dangerous spiritual energy.

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye shouted, trying to rush over to protect Ye Shuli, but was hit by the tail of the second guardian beast and fell heavily to the ground again.

"Cough cough..." He clutched his chest, the intense pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

While dodging the attacks of the guardian beast, Ye Shuli looked at Jiang Ye with concern.

"How are you?" she asked anxiously.

"It's not going to die yet," Jiang Ye said through gritted teeth. "It's just that I'm starting to question the meaning of life. How can this little thing be so powerful?"

The second guardian beast was extremely fast, and Ye Shuli could only barely dodge it, having no chance to retaliate at all.

The cramped space in the mine further restricted her movements.

She felt her strength rapidly depleting, and if this continued, she would eventually be worn down by the second guardian beast.

"I need to think of a way..." Ye Shuli dodged while quickly thinking of a solution.

Suddenly, a "crack" sound came from the top of the mine, and loose rocks kept falling down.

"Oh no, the mine is about to collapse!" Jiang Ye exclaimed.

This is simply adding insult to injury; when it rains, it pours!

The second guardian beast also seemed to sense the danger, and its attacks became even more frenzied, as if it wanted to perish together with them.

Ye Shuli was extremely anxious. She had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise they would all be buried here.

At this critical moment, Ye Shuli suddenly remembered a method of deception from her modern knowledge...

“Jiang Ye,” she shouted, “take off your coat!”

While dodging the attacks of the guardian beast, Ye Shuli quickly picked up several pieces of ore that emitted a faint light from the ground.

"Jiang Ye, take off your coat!" she shouted at Jiang Ye.

Although Jiang Ye didn't understand why, he obediently took off his coat.

"Li'er, what are you doing? Is this the time to play the uniform fetish game?" he teased weakly.

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "What time is it? You're still joking!" She took the coat, quickly wrapped the ore inside, and then hung the coat on a protruding rock.

“This little guy is very sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy. I used modern knowledge to set up a simple illusion array, which should be able to confuse it for a while,” she explained, a hint of pride in her voice.

Sure enough, the second guardian beast was attracted by the strange spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the coat. It circled the coat a few times with curiosity in its azure eyes.

"Wow, this actually works?" Jiang Ye was shocked. This was unheard of. No wonder she was the woman he had his eye on. She was truly exceptional!

Taking advantage of Xiao Ling's distraction, Ye Shuli ran to Jiang Ye's side to check on his injuries.

"How are you? Are you badly hurt?" she asked with a hint of worry in her voice.

Jiang Ye felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Ye Shuli's concerned eyes. He held Ye Shuli's hand and said softly, "It's so good to have you here."

Ye Shuli's face flushed slightly. She gently withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and heal your injuries!" Jiang Ye smiled, took out a bottle of healing pills from his storage bag, and swallowed them.

"Don't worry, I'm tough and resilient, I won't die!"

The second guardian beast lost its way in the illusion array, circling endlessly, but unable to find its target.

It roared angrily, its claws flailing wildly, but it could only grasp at air.

Seeing the comical appearance of the second guardian beast, Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Li'er, you're amazing! This little guy is like a headless fly right now!"

Ye Shuli couldn't help but laugh. She looked up at the top of the mine, where more and more rocks were falling, and the mine was shaking more and more violently.

"It seems we need to get out of here quickly."

“Li’er…” Jiang Ye suddenly grasped Ye Shuli’s hand, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shuli looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, just about to speak...

Just then, a loud bang came from the top of the mine, and rocks fell like raindrops, causing the entire mine to shake violently.

"Holy crap! Is this for real?" Jiang Ye exclaimed, as a dramatic escape from the mine was about to unfold.

To make matters worse, Wang Meng actually climbed out of the trap as well. Covered in dust and dirt, he not only didn't learn his lesson, but stared at the falling spirit crystals with shining eyes, looking like he was about to make a fortune.

"I'm rich! I'm rich! This is a huge profit!" he shouted, completely disregarding the danger, frantically collecting the scattered spirit crystals. His greedy eating habits were simply an eyesore.

"Has this guy lost his mind?" Jiang Ye complained. "What time is it, and he's still thinking about picking up trash!" He didn't have time to play along with Wang Meng's madness; saving his own life was the priority!

He grabbed Ye Shuli's hand and said, "Li'er, come with me! I know a place!"

Before Ye Shuli could react, Jiang Ye grabbed her and started running.

"Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?" she asked as she ran after him.

"Don't ask, just follow me!" Jiang Ye smiled mysteriously, pulling Ye Shuli through a maze of turns, and into an inconspicuous side cave.

"Are you sure this is an escape route and not a dead end?" Ye Shuli looked at the narrow opening and expressed her doubt.

"Trust me, Li'er, my intuition is usually very accurate!" Jiang Ye said confidently. "Besides, I noticed a faint airflow here before, which means this passage leads to the outside."

The two moved quickly through the narrow passage, the mine behind them still collapsing, the rumbling sound deafening, as if it could swallow them up at any moment.

Wang Meng was still frantically collecting spirit crystals, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Hahaha! All the spirit crystals are mine! All of them are mine!" His laughter echoed in the mine, sounding particularly jarring.

"This guy really won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!" Jiang Ye shook his head and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye stopped. He looked at the passage ahead, his expression turning serious.

"Li'er..."

"Li'er, there seems to be something up ahead." Jiang Ye's voice deepened, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Ye Shuli's hand.

Ye Shuli followed his gaze and saw a faint blue light shimmering at the end of the passage. A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from there, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

"What the hell is this thing?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but swear.

Behind them, the sound of the mine collapsing grew closer, and rubble kept falling, threatening to completely block their escape route.

Wang Meng was still frantically picking up spirit crystals, completely unaware of the danger approaching from behind.

"Mine! All mine! Hahaha!" His maniacal laughter echoed through the mine, like a background music that pierced the mind.

"This guy is such a money-grubber, even at a time like this he still can't forget about spirit crystals!" Jiang Ye muttered, then pulled Ye Shuli along, quickening their pace. "Li'er, we have to get out of here quickly!"

The two ran forward with all their might, with falling rocks chasing closely behind them, as if death itself was pursuing them.

Just at this critical moment, they finally broke out of the passage!

The moment they rushed out, the passage behind them collapsed completely, burying Wang Meng and his "wealth" underground.

"Damn, I'm so lucky!" Jiang Ye patted his chest with lingering fear. Luckily, he ran fast, or he would have become Wang Meng's burial offering.

He glanced back at the passage blocked by rubble, and faint screams of Wang Meng could be heard from inside. It was a human tragedy, but he felt no sympathy for him whatsoever.

"Looks like we're in luck." Ye Shuli breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the end of the passage, where the dark blue light was even more dazzling, and the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations made her heart pound.

"What is this thing?" she murmured to herself.

Jiang Ye also came over. He carefully observed the scene before him and discovered that the dark blue light was emanating from a huge seal.

The seal was covered with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

"This... seems to be a spiritual energy seal." He said with a hint of surprise, "Moreover, I feel that there seems to be a large number of spirit crystals hidden behind the seal!"

"Spirit crystals?" Ye Shuli's eyes lit up. These were really good stuff!

If they could obtain these spirit crystals, their strength would be greatly enhanced.

“That’s right!” Jiang Ye nodded firmly. “I’m sure there’s something good behind this seal!”

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

They cautiously approached the seal, wanting to observe it more closely...

“Li’er…” Jiang Ye suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious as he stared intently at a rune on the seal. “This rune…”
