Chapter 73: Crossing the Swamp
Since Xiao Yu had no understanding of mental skills, keeping the necklace was pointless. As such, he immediately handed it over to Jiang Xiaowen without hesitation and said, “You are lucky; this necklace can greatly increase your mental attack strength. The increase is no less than having the attack power of the middle first-order level in advance.”
Jiang Xiaowen swiftly donned the necklace around her neck, and a warm sensation swept throughout her entire body. The radiant red ruby sparkled beautifully, reflecting her delicate features. She beamed with joy and shyly expressed her gratitude.
Xiao Yu unlocked the final ball of light, revealing a red ring named the “Ring of leaching”. This was a high-grade white ring— a magic item. Its abilities left Xiao Yu astounded. Unlike Han Kexin’s “blast flame ring” and Jiang Xiaowen’s “ring of spikes,” which could release second-rank magic spells, this magic ring had even more powerful capabilities.
Wearing the ring of leaching gradually drains the opponent’s life force while killing. When that life force reaches a peak, it triggers the release of the rare, unranked spell “Minor Healing.” Despite being an unranked spell, this ability possessed uncommon healing properties.
The most striking feature was that the ring of leaching did not need to absorb energy to be used like the other items. Instead, when the stored life force accumulated was sufficient, the spell “Minor Healing” would be automatically released. Although its effects may not be overwhelming, the “Ring of Leaching” could still prove to be a lifesaver during bloody struggles. Upon releasing over a dozen “Minor Healing” its impact would be undeniably significant.
Xiao Yu immediately wore the ring of leaching.
After packing up the spoils, Jiang Xiaowen offered to transport Xiao Yufei in search of their companions. She was already a first-order expert with improved flying abilities, able to fly alone for longer distances with much ease. When Xiao Yu hugged Jiang Xiaowen’s small waist, she developed a slight blush on her face as he nuzzled his face into her neck. Despite this, she pretended not to be affected and vigorously flapped her wings, taking off from the area.
It didn’t take long for the two to find the other people’s footprints. They searched in that direction and found that Han Kexin and the others were besieged by dozens of slimes, struggling to repel the swarm.
As soon as Jiang Xiaowen flew down, her powerful spiritual power covered an area of tens of meters in range. The slimes’ fragile spiritual power couldn’t bear such a mighty spiritual invasion, and they were all controlled by Jiang Xiaowen instantly, as they all started retreating.
