Chapter 898: Chapter 223: Temporary Alliance [2-in-1] (Part 3)
Yan Beihan said: "Situations and times; like you and I, as Guardians, shouldn’t we fight to the death whenever we meet? But now, due to the circumstances, shouldn’t we temporarily cooperate?"
"If it wasn’t me, Yan Beihan, here today, but Feng Yun, Feng Xing, Chen Yin, or those you hate the most, such as Fire Demon, Water Demon, Shadow Demon, Poison Demon, Dream Demon, and... Yemo, etc..."
Yan Beihan said indifferently: "When cooperation is needed for survival, isn’t temporary cooperation normal?"
"So, what do you boast about?"
Yan Beihan coldly threw down those words.
Turning around, she entered the tent, closed her eyes, and began to recuperate.
Fang Che was lost in thought.
After a long time, he finally gave an answer.
"It’s different."
He said in his heart: If today, it wasn’t you, not Feng Yun and others; if it were Fire Demon, Dream Demon, Shadow Demon and others, I would not hesitate if there was a chance to take them down.
As for the issue of surviving without partners after killing them... I would consider it after their demise.
But another thought occurred to him.
Who knows if Yan Beihan might become that kind of crazed enemy in the future?
Then how is she different from other members of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect?
Fang Che felt it was difficult to justify himself logically.
By nightfall.
The snake swarm attacked again, and this night’s battle was far more intense and brutal than the previous night because more big snakes were arriving, almost becoming a rolling mass like a mountain by late night.
Fiery flames burned through the night.
The two also fought fiercely for the whole night.
Although they gained quite a lot, they reached the peak of exhaustion.
Finally, at dawn, Yan Beihan saw Fang Che wielding his sword, searching for inner cores and snake pearls on the corpses of the giant snakes. Although Yan Beihan looked down on these low-level items, they were ultimately creatures from the Yin Yang Realm, and with the mindset of ’they might be useful outside,’ she half-heartedly collected some.
But compared to Fang Che’s sweeping approach, Yan Beihan only gathered the best.
While Fang Che collected everything, good or bad.
Emphasizing an attitude of nothing being wasted.
Making Yan Beihan feel that this kid was too greedy and inexperienced...
But Fang Che had his own plan.
Although these things were low-level, once outside, they could absolutely be used by the lower-level Martial Artists among the Guardians and Guardians.
Moreover, these items didn’t exist in the outside world, so he would collect as much as he could.
If he encountered other valuable things in the future and the space ring couldn’t hold them, he’d then choose to discard some of these items.
If he could take everything out, he’d certainly take it all.
As far as Fang Che was concerned, resources were always beneficial.
Over the years, the Guardian Continent had suffered from a lack of resources countless times; and Dongfang Sansan had barely been able to hold on due to the shortage.
Fang Che aimed to alleviate some of Dongfang Sansan’s pressure.
Even if it was just a little bit... doing something was better than doing nothing!
But he naturally wouldn’t say this.
"Why are you gathering so many low-level items?"
"Sell them outside, it’s all money!"
"With more money, I can exchange it for Spirit Crystals, and with more Spirit Crystals, I can swap them for Divine Crystals... Isn’t that great?"
Fang Che displayed a miserly look: "Is there ever too little money?"
Yan Beihan, who never lacked money or resources, couldn’t quite relate to this mindset. But she understood.
"Poor wretch!"
"Yes, yes, but not as wealthy as you, so why don’t you give me yours?"
"Get lost!"
Yan Beihan thrust a sword forward, aiming directly at the throat.
Fang Che dodged and continued to collect.
On the third night, the snake swarm grew even larger. Fang Che no longer waited for the battle to end before collecting; instead, he started gathering right after slaying them, using the tip of the sword to flick out the snake pearls and inner cores immediately.
Then he would store them and continue fighting.
Yan Beihan initially couldn’t understand his intent, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t understand, she copied whatever Fang Che did.
She also collected.
Because she noticed that compared to Fang Che, although her combat power might be slightly stronger and her progress quicker, in other aspects, whether living or fighting, Fang Che had unique insights.
Compared to Fang Che, her shortcomings were still somewhat apparent.
So this intelligent lady continued learning.
No matter the purpose, as long as I do as you do, I won’t lose out.
And one day, she would understand and proudly claim: "Do you think I didn’t know?"
Even though she didn’t know at first, admitting it was never an option.
The Eldest Lady Yan held her dignity in high regard.
She could secretly learn, but couldn’t expose her ignorance!
Soon, Yan Beihan understood the reason. By midnight... enormous pythons emerged, swords no longer able to harm them.
Moreover, from afar, more giant pythons were rapidly approaching...
And this time they surrounded them from all directions.
Taking advantage of a break in the encirclement...
The two, accompanied by Little Bear, swiftly retreated.
Their escape route was blocked by a colossal python, like a mountain range, with its mouth open wide, resembling a valley entrance, spewing black and red poisonous smoke, covering the sky.
Simultaneously, the snake formation swiftly unfolded, hundreds of meters of snake bodies swirling in the air.
If struck, the two might end up finishing here.
"Come!"
Fang Che shouted, reaching out his hand in mid-air.
Yan Beihan extended her left hand to grasp his, then Fang Che spun her forcefully: "Spin and cast out like this!"
