But at this moment, he revealed the blood and fortitude of a soldier.
His gaze was like a torch, showing courage and an unshakeable will.
Not only him, but Chu Fengfeng and Chen Xin were also the same at this time; although they didn't express it, their eyes said it all.
"Good."
Mingxi did not object. Lin Chen was right; it was she who had been careless in her considerations.
She handed the pearl in her hand to Lin Chen and took over the command. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Emerald Green, confirm friend-or-foe markers."
"Affirmative."
Emerald Green acted as instructed, confirming the markers were still active.
With Chu Fengfeng's help, Lin Chen repeatedly confirmed that he had put on his protective goggles, mask, and earplugs, ensuring there was not even a single gap.
For them, the alternate day and night of the meng ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) tan flower, though dangerous, did not mean there was no chance of escape.
Shadow Leech entering the brain was different; death was the only outcome.
Therefore, protective measures were essential.
For now, it was enough to just test whether the pearl was effective against the meng tan flower.
Ready, Lin Chen nodded to everyone and stepped out of their defensive zone without hesitation, walking alone into the meng tan flower cluster.
This moment was the moment to witness a miracle.
Night and day intertwined around him, and within a two-meter radius centered on him, all Ice Spikes and molten flames bypassed him.
“...”
"Hahaha, we did it! We actually cracked the Bloodless Despair Abyss! Eyeball, pearl! Awesome!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Chu Fengfeng was so excited he wanted to sing loudly, his words somewhat incoherent.
Mingxi silently shook her head. Phoenix Uncle was truly an unstable and restless person. She wondered how the Chu family agreed to let him join the Jinhui Group. Such a temperament was clearly more suited to being a carefree young master at home.
Could this be the Chu family's magnanimity?
While Mingxi's thoughts entered a strange space, Lin Chen returned after walking a short distance. He even dared to take off his goggles, confirming that the Shadow Leech also did not attack him.
"Xiao Xi, next, Lan Yue and you might have to work hard."
Lin Chen smiled and returned the pearl to Mingxi.
Mingxi waved her hand, refusing, "Team Lin, you keep it for now. We'll distribute them uniformly later."
She then continued, "I speculate that the pearl should be a special energy crystal, most likely with super-ability attributes. When I moved it out of the stream just now, I also found that it could slightly expand the spiritual sea.
So, after Lan Yue's energy recovers by more than half and she uses Riyue Lingkong again, you and Chen Xin must also not give up trying.
Even if you fail, you must continue to try."
Putting aside the function of the super-ability energy crystal, the process of fishing for pearls itself was a rapid strength-improving process for Beast Tamers.
"Ah?"
Expand the spiritual sea?
Is there?
Mingxi's words left Chu Fengfeng bewildered. As one of the only two 'successful people' who had fished out pearls, he felt nothing but agonizing pain and no other physical changes.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Lin Chen and Chen Xin knew he couldn't be relied upon.
However, they did not doubt Mingxi's judgment.
Expanding the spiritual sea meant directly increasing brain region development.
"Okay, we'll try."
If fishing for pearls could really expand the spiritual sea, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity, a rare and highly sought-after blessing.
Next was waiting for Lan Yue's energy to recover. To save potions, Little Silver Flower was almost continuously using Sunbath.
Half an hour later, Lan Yue used Riyue Lingkong again.
The four people took their positions, ready to go.
The moment the eyeball sank into the water, the four people simultaneously released their mental power, delving into the water, wrapping around the pearl, and beginning a tug-of-war with the pearl, battling the pain...
Mingxi's adaptability was always formidable. With the experience of refining leaf radiance and the previous attempt, this time Mingxi only took less than 20 seconds to retrieve the first pearl.
It landed in Little Silver Flower's excitedly opened claws.
She did not stop there. According to the test results just now, Lan Yue's more than half energy could support Riyue Lingkong for about 3 minutes.
There was still much more to be done.
This time, she divided her mental power threads into five strands.
Meaning, she would simultaneously retrieve five pearls.
Five times the pain, five times the ecstasy.
Mingxi instantly felt as if her soul was scattered, with a sense of deja vu of still being stuck in the 996 grind.
She found humor in her suffering, thinking, "Does this count as me deliberately seeking hardship?"
Guangguang smiled faintly, captivatingly, and replied arrogantly, "How could it not?"
You've really mastered the art of passive aggression.
Be careful of Liu Mou's 'Green Corpse Cold' warning.

"Pop, pop, pop..."
Chen Xin was holding her throbbing head, trying to persevere without giving up, when she saw a string of pearls simultaneously shoot out from the same section of the stream.
Her eyes widened into copper bells, and the tightly strung nerve finally snapped under the unbearable pressure.
That scumbag pearl, which had been pulled by her mental power and was constantly in a 'want me to be cold and alluring, yet also want me to be flirtatious and cheap' state, splashed back to the bottom of the stream.
She didn't even feel regret before she abruptly looked at Mingxi beside her, only to see the young girl holding a handful of pearls.
That's right, a handful.
A full five pearls!
Not an illusion! Not an illusion! Not an illusion!
At this moment, she wanted to cosplay a roaring dragon and curse this shameless world.
"F*** you! Is it appropriate for you to discriminate like this?"
Seemingly noticing her passionate gaze, Mingxi turned her head to look. Seeing her hands empty and her head dazed, she stuffed a pearl into her hand, then gave her an encouraging look, and even thoughtfully made a cheering gesture.
Chen Xin ｡ ° ( ° ¯ ᷄ o ¯ ᷅ ° ) ° ｡
She really, I'm crying my eyes out.
What did this cute little girl do wrong? It's all that damned old heaven's fault for not acting like a human!
Mingxi didn't know that Chen Xin had been so struck by her audacious actions that she was now irreconcilable with the heavens.
After confirming Lan Yue's remaining energy, she released her mental power again, this time ten strands.
Since pearls could expand the spiritual sea, it naturally shouldn't be wasted.
"Master, simultaneously releasing ten strands of mental power should be the limit of your pain threshold. Do not increase it further. Sometimes, too high a pain threshold is not a good thing.
Too high a pain threshold will gradually lead you to analgesia.
And you should be aware of the consequences of analgesia: losing the body's warning cells, which not only increases physiological risks but also affects motor function, and is equally harmful to the training of your character."
Guangguang saw Mingxi covered in cold sweat, her bones creaking from enduring the pain, and couldn't help but advise her.
Mingxi: "I understand, don't worry."
She lightly curved her lips, "Also, thank you, Guangguang."
As if she hadn't expected her to say thank you, Guangguang, an AI, couldn't help but become shy and bashful.
