Only I can make them stronger

It seems a bit similar to when I first met Jinelle?

"From the results, it seems that he has also considered your safety." Jinniel did not comment on her statement, but retracted her gaze and looked at the remote controls.

"The remote control placed in the first position was heavily stained with sweat. He was holding it in his hand and was also very nervous. The time of the explosion was a little earlier than the most appropriate time I thought."

"Maybe it's because he's worried about you, or maybe it's because he's really not smart enough." The corners of Gianni's mouth hidden under her work clothes raised slightly.

"I..." Karen seemed to want to say something, but was quite hesitant.

"Go and help. I'm safe here. And with these things, I'm still very powerful in the mine." Jinniel smiled helplessly and raised a remote control in her hand.

"But……"

"It's nothing, you've seen how strong that guy is, he's quite formidable, almost as strong as our firm's [Silver Knight], so it's normal to be worried... You also consider him a companion, right?"

"But, make your own safety your top priority and come back safely, that's all I ask."

"Then... Jinniel, you too, protect yourself." Karen felt relieved after receiving the other party's encouragement.

To her, the most important thing is still Giannielle, but Xia Ye's figure always lingers in his heart.

The scene where Dillven pierced Xia Ye and the two beautiful women with ice spikes always flashed through her mind.

"Hurry up and catch up with them. Bring back the blue crystal as well... Or rather, this is the main reason why I asked you to go with me."

Jinelle casually pulled out a palm-sized black display screen from her pocket and handed it to Karen, adding another sentence.

This is the route tracking map that Jinniel often uses. It can record any past routes of no more than 10 kilometers in the past three days. Now, of course, it records the route they took when they came here just now.

Karen turned on the display screen and took a quick look. Sure enough, there was a key mark near the area where everyone had just mined. That was where the blue crystal was located.

In fact, this thing does not require any advanced mining and splitting skills, and it can even be obtained by violence - because according to the information Jinniel has, the area where it is located will not have any other minerals or messy things within a radius of five meters, it is as clean as a flawless vacuum.

"You really are..." Karen rolled his eyes and put the monitor into the pocket of his windbreaker.

This guy always uses an extremely rational way to extinguish people's rising emotions just in time.

………………

"Hu...Hu..." Xia Ye was running at full speed in the mine tunnel. With the signal from the Devil Beast, he would not rush around like a headless fly.

Ginelle's reminder just now gave him a very bad premonition, and this premonition was becoming stronger and stronger as time passed.

In the black and white vision of [True Insight], any abnormality would immediately attract his attention, but the almost pitch-black surroundings only brought endless worries.

"I'm glad you came to see me." At this moment, a sudden voice sounded in his mind.

He had just heard this voice not long ago, it belonged to that strange white figure.

What is it? Could it be here too?

The added information made his mind even more confused.

However, before he could figure it out, a reminder tone that he had never heard before appeared in his mind again.

【Notice! Notice! Notice! 】

[Common Bond Mission* appears]

[Mission Name: Rage of the Ice Ghost]

[Mission content: Help Leah and Shana defeat Dillven]

[Task reward: none]

[Note: This mission is a "*" type mission. This type of mission is extremely dangerous and is likely to cause casualties to the bond owner. Please treat it with caution.]

The new task belongs to both Leah and Shana. Although there is no task reward, at least after completing it, the number of bond tasks for both of them will increase by one, which is another benefit.

But now Xia Ye has no time to think so much, because the appearance of this task at this time only means one thing -

Leah and Shana have met Dillwyn!

In an instant, a feeling of despair struck him like a bolt from the blue.

97. Overwhelming Strength

"Still missed the target!" Xia Ye panted and slowed down his pace, trying to calm himself down.

The huge amount of information and worry and anxiety just now almost caused him to lose the connection with [Eliminate No. 9], and also caused him to withdraw from the state of [True Insight].

"The more times like this, the more calm I have to be. The system will not issue a task that is absolutely impossible to complete." Xia Ye gasped, closed his eyes, and stabilized the inspiration connection with [Eliminate No. 9].

"Battle...cold...fear..." vague messages came intermittently, and after figuring out what the other party meant, Xia Ye's heart sank even more.

These messages basically confirmed that they had met with Dillwin.

"I have to go there quickly..."

Although he was only at the second level in strength, at least he had very useful reconnaissance skills [True Insight] and Origin's rapid healing, which could increase his chances of winning.

The assessment of Dillven's strength came from Giannis and Karen. He didn't know the specific situation, so his self-anxiety was in vain.

However, just as he was about to continue walking quickly, a slightly more mature voice called out to him.

It's Karen.

"Xia Ye! I'll go with you!"

Looking at the figure of the newcomer, Xia Ye frowned at first, but soon his expression relaxed, he nodded, turned around and greeted:

"Hurry, talk while running."

…………

“Damn it…” The two unfamiliar figures in front of him made Dillven stop.

Since just now, he has been attacked by sudden explosions.

He could ignore it once or twice, but it happened more than ten times in a row. And it seemed that after a certain time, the explosion of the explosives became more tricky and strange, and almost every time it happened at a time when it was inconvenient for him to deal with it.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn't bear it to some extent.

At this moment, his physical strength and the remaining physical elements in his body were less than half of the usual amount. If he continued like this, he was afraid that he would really be killed in this intricate mine tunnel.

At this moment, since the two women in front appeared in full armor and with a menacing look, it meant that they were definitely here to kill him.

"Two second-level ones... hehe... hahaha!" But soon, Dillwen discovered that the enemy seemed to underestimate him.

Even if he only had 40% of his strength left, these two women would never be his match.

The resilience of the high-level composite ability domain was far beyond Xia Ye's imagination.

"Sister Shana, this guy... seems to be a little different from what Xia Ye said..." Leah's whole body was tense, her arms covering her chest, her vigilant eyes staring straight at Dillven.

Although his genetic level could not be seen, this man gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, and the stench of male aliens was particularly pungent.

"Xia Ye's plan went wrong..." Shana also felt her heart beating wildly.

She could feel that there was something wrong with this man's force field.

At first, Xia Ye also considered using explosives to kill the opponent, but it was obvious that the opponent was not a fool. If it really came to a life-and-death moment, Dillven would definitely choose to retreat instead of continuing to pursue. In this way, they would completely lose the initiative.

By the time Dillven has readjusted his condition, it is likely that no one in the entire mining area will be able to leave alive.

So after careful consideration and discussion, Xia Ye decided to let Shana and Leah go to intercept.

According to Xia Ye's estimation, the opponent would appear in the nearby area around this time, seriously injured, and unable to resist the combined attack of himself and Leah.

But although Dillven did show up, he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all.

Xia Ye underestimated the strength of the enemy leader.

This is not his fault. After all, no one can estimate the combat effectiveness of high-level mutants with perfect accuracy.

But now, the two of them must find a way to resolve the dangerous dilemma before anything else.

"You two don't look like Phoenix's men. Are you accomplices of the man who blew up the mine behind the scenes?" Dillwyn waved his hand, and a long ice crystal knife suddenly appeared, walking towards the two men with a grin.

"It makes no difference. You will die here anyway." Shana tightened her muscles, pressed the dagger at her waist with her left hand, and at the same time, the elements in her body began to mobilize faster, staring at Dillwyn and refusing to give in.

"Really? But I feel like the ones who will die... are you, all of you!" At this point, Dilven had lost his patience in negotiating with the weak.

He only needed to kill one cleanly and neatly, leaving the other half half alive, and then slowly torture him to find out the whereabouts of the blacksmith.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dillwyn had already flashed in front of Shana, swinging his blade with a biting icy wind. At the same time, his other hand stretched out in the direction of Leah, and a stream of cold air spurted out without warning.

Leah was unable to react in time and was hit by the icy rational element. She was knocked flying and crashed into the stone wall, and her whole body began to tremble unconsciously.

She felt as if she had suddenly arrived naked in the wilderness of the far north, and the extremely low temperature was fighting frantically with her body.

Shana's [Electrostatic Conduction] gave her an extraordinary reaction speed, and she responded in an instant, pulling out a dagger with her backhand and slashing with lightning.

But the gap between the two in physical qualities is simply too great to be made up by combat skills or special physiques.

The flashing electric light stopped abruptly the moment the two touched each other, and was replaced by frost that gradually spread along the dagger to the arm.

Shana immediately felt waves of cold and stinging pain in her left forearm. Even with the explosive electric element blocking it, she still couldn't hide the numbness.

Seeing this, she quickly condensed a ball of lightning in her right hand and punched it hard at the tricky angle of Dillwyn's ribs.

But unfortunately, the lightning was dissipated by the cold element before it could even explode.

Dillven's body surface was actually covered with a thin layer of ice crystal-like armor!

His third-level ability is the passive ability of the composite domain [Cold-blooded Animal]. This ability can greatly reduce his body temperature when activating the physical element, and can even exceed the upper limit of human survival temperature.

This is where his strength as a user of composite abilities lies - in terms of the effect of the ability itself, [Cold-blooded Animal] is actually quite average in terms of its help in combat.

However, as a user of ice-type spell domain abilities, Dillwyn in the [Cold-blooded Animal] state can activate the physical elements in his body at a much faster speed than other users of spell domain abilities, and can easily activate the ice-attribute physical elements into any state he wants through the second-level ability [Release].

Ice and low temperature are like extensions of his body, which is fundamentally different from other aliens who use physical elements as simple weapons!

98. Run faster while holding you

"Are you sure you want to leave Jinelle there alone... in this direction?" Xia Ye asked as he and Karen sped through the mine tunnel.

"If she said it's okay to rest assured, then it's okay to rest assured." His speed was not even a warm-up for Karen, so the latter followed Xia Ye quite easily and answered confidently.

"After all, we have fought side by side before, and both of our goals have not yet been achieved. I haven't obtained the blue crystal, and your companion is in danger. Why don't we continue to cooperate?"

Karen didn't know how to express the real reason for coming to help in a non-embarrassing way, but fortunately she and Xia Ye had a verbal contract, so she had an excuse.

"You are quite contract-abiding." Xia Ye smiled, knowing that he was just saying it casually, so he didn't say anything.

Since coming out of the transport channel until now, Karen's favorability towards him has somehow increased from 8 points to 10 points, and the relationship has also changed from "None" to "Karen is willing to fight alongside you", so there must be a personal reason for coming here this time.

"I'm a clerk in a large firm, and the contract rules are very strict..." Since Xia Ye didn't take the initiative to talk in depth, Karen naturally just answered casually to fool him, but soon her expression became serious and she continued:

"But even with the two of us, that guy's strength cannot be underestimated."

When she talked about Dillwyn, an invisible mountain pressed down on her chest.

The brief moment of fighting with the opponent had made her fully aware of the gap in strength between the two sides.

"At least it's better than doing nothing... and even if I can't defeat him, I can't just watch my two companions die in his hands."

"But do you feel that if we continue to move forward like this, we may not be able to catch up with anything?"

"What? What else can I do... Hey, hey, what are you doing!" Xia Ye was wondering what Karen meant when he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind. His legs loosened and he flew into the air.

His eyes blurred, and the soft peaks of the chest were within reach. The strong arm muscles supporting him were so stable that he was actually picked up by Karen around the waist.

"I was just about to say that your running speed is too slow. Why don't I take you along and you just tell me the location!"

"I have a sword on my back, so I'll have to ask you to stay in front for a while."

Karen didn't take it seriously and chuckled.

She is usually a carefree person, so she certainly wouldn't miss the chance to take a little "revenge" on Xia Ye.

"Do you tall women like this..." The erotic scene of being manipulated by Shana for the first time in the exercise room emerged in his mind, except that the scene this time was a bit more hardcore and a bit less lustful.

At first, Xia Ye wanted to struggle to get down, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Karen said made sense, so she just stayed in her arms like a little bird.

Soon, he felt a warm current floating around his body, and wisps of steam floated out from under Karen's clothes, making her look like she had just come out of a steamer.

At the same time, Karen began to take steps with greater amplitude and force, and his speed increased to more than three times the previous speed.

The suddenly strong wind pressure and bumpy feeling made Xia Ye subconsciously hug Karen for self-protection. In this position, the peaks of the other's chest were pressed against his face, like two oversized lumps of jelly, bouncing wildly with every step, and also serving as the best cushioning agent.

The figure beneath Karen's windbreaker was quite attractive, completely different from the muscular female swordsman he had imagined.

But now Xia Ye had no intention of appreciating this grandeur.
