Because she had hung the zombie head upside down, after the part hiding the crystal core was burned to ash, the core fell directly down. Jiang Yuntan looked at the crystal core, now spotless after being burned, and her eyes lit up. It seemed she could indeed increase the temperature of her fire ability. However, she wasn't very skilled at it yet, and she felt this method consumed a lot of ability. There were still many zombie rat heads at her feet, so she picked up another to try. By the time she tried the fifth one, a shadow fell in front of her.
"What are you doing squatting here? Not feeling well?" Shen Hegui walked over and just happened to see her using her ability to burn the zombie's flesh to ash, the core falling straight down. Shen Hegui: ... Yu Ke also saw this. He touched his hair that hadn't grown back yet and said, "Damn, good thing that fire ability user back then didn't know this move. Otherwise, my head might have been full of holes." Jiang Yuntan looked up at him. "Is it possible that if he did know, you would have been burned to nothing?" "Then it's a good thing he didn't know," Yu Ke laughed and teased, "Sis, your ability is more powerful than sulfuric acid." He had just finished speaking when suddenly the flame in Jiang Yuntan's hand went out, and she collapsed as if all her strength had left her, scaring Yu Ke. He exclaimed, "Hey, sis, are you trying to frame me? I was complimenting you." Jiang Yuntan was speechless and said, "I overused my ability. My head hurts and I have no strength." Shen Hegui looked at her like this, not knowing what to say, feeling both annoyed and amused. He reached out his hand to her, "Let me help you up." Jiang Yuntan looked at the two of them. Yu Ke had a girlfriend, and she didn't want to get close to Shen Hegui even if he offered. After all, she had said before that she treated him like an older brother. So she insisted, "I can get up by myself." Jiang Yuntan pushed herself up from the ground, trembling, but as soon as she stood up, she stumbled forward. Shen Hegui's face immediately darkened, and he caught her swiftly. "Why are you being stubborn? Will standing up on your own increase your ability by even a fraction?" "Maybe it will. How is that not breaking through my limits?" Jiang Yuntan said without thinking. As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew she was done for. She had gotten used to retorting to Lin Tingxue and the others. She used to think before speaking, but now the words just came out. Whatever, she thought, she'd just give up. She felt that this state of constantly venting her frustrations on others was pretty good—at least she was in a good mood. Shen Hegui: ... He felt Yu Ke was right. Not only was her ability comparable to sulfuric acid, but her mouth was also like it was laced with poison.
Holding her soft body and seeing her pale face, he directly lifted her horizontally and carried her toward the car. After placing her on the seat, Shen Hegui said, "Rest for a while and recover. Since you know it gives you a headache, don't use your ability so intensely next time." Jiang Yuntan nodded, but inwardly grumbled. She didn't use her ability as wildly as he did. She wasn't like some people who would channel lightning into their own bodies to increase their ability and train themselves. Truly more than just a tough person. That night when she secretly watched, she was afraid Shen Hegui would suddenly transform into a werewolf under the lightning's tempering—that would be too surreal. Same as lightning ability users, some used lightning to temper their bodies, while others electrocuted themselves. But this reminded her not to condense her ability in her palm next time. Otherwise, she worried someone might carry flour and throw it on her hand, causing her to blow herself up. What to do? Next time she met another fire ability user, she really wanted to throw a lighter at the fireball in their palm. Jiang Yuntan thought that although her head hurt, her mind was wandering even more. She thought about her overused fire ability, then thought about the Wood Element Ability that had some healing properties. She began to circulate the Wood Element Ability through her body, feeling that the body that had been drained by the fire ability seemed to recover a little. When her headache stopped, the Wood Element Ability was also used up. Jiang Yuntan remembered that she hadn't used the green pothos wood element crystal core from last time. She took it out of her space and decided to try using it. After all, Shen Hegui said the core was hers. Since it was hers, she'd use it. She absorbed the energy from the wood element core strand by strand into her body, feeling like a parched land receiving rain. It was extremely comfortable, and her Wood Element Ability even experienced some tangible growth. Now Shen Hegui's two abilities should already be at level one, but it seemed he had leveled up during those rainy days, so he should be stronger than level one now. Moreover, his control and development of abilities were somewhat extraordinary.
Lin Tingxue looked toward Jiang Yuntan's position, her mind full of the scene of Shen Hegui carrying Jiang Yuntan over, and she felt displeased. She couldn't understand how someone so arrogant and overbearing could be liked by anyone. Before anyone else's gaze swept over, Lin Tingxue withdrew her eyes.
After feeling her body return to normal, Jiang Yuntan opened the car door and got out. She mainly wanted to see what would happen when the metal cover, which was like an incinerator, was opened. Also, since it was created by Shen Hegui's metal ability, how would it revert? When she came over, she just saw they were about to pack up. Unexpectedly, Shen Hegui waved his hand, and the red-hot metal cover instantly disappeared. Huh? She had complicated it. After the cover was gone, Yu Ke, who had found a broom from somewhere, swept the ashes apart, and the shiny crystal cores appeared clearly before everyone. If they hadn't personally taken them out of the zombie heads, looking at these cores, they would never have thought they were once stuck to zombie flesh and blood. Soon, Shen Hegui and the others collected the cores and counted them, finding one hundred and fourteen in total. Shen Hegui divided the cores into eight portions, each portion of fourteen cores. As he handed two portions to Jiang Yuntan, he explained, "We promised Yuntan before that since we use her spatial ability to store the team's supplies, we would give her an extra share of whatever we obtain on the road." Everyone heard and had no objections. This was something they had agreed on long ago. Although, if a spatial ability user was under their protection, using her space should be fine. But along the way, except for the first few days, it seemed Jiang Yuntan didn't need their protection later. On the contrary, if you looked closely, her contributions were quite significant.
