Chapter 200: Chapter 140: Humanoid Scanner, Outrageous Exploration Efficiency

"Yes!"

The two of them walked one after the other toward the entrance of the territory’s West City Gate.

However, Reina stayed consistently no more than a meter behind him.

"Lord, please wait a moment."

A coarse shout rang out from not far away.

Hellish Roar came striding from the Inner City District, a Celestial Cyan Jade Wine Cup in his hand.

"I’ve completed the task you assigned yesterday." He handed over the wine cup, his tone filled with amazement. "It’s hard to imagine that this tiny cup can actually hold so much river water."

"I feel like if I poured it all out, it could even flood the entire territory."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Shen Xing’s face, as it proved his theory was correct.

The [Rain Saint] could hold not only ordinary water but even the special water from the Black Water River.

As for whether it could hold lava... that remained to be tested.

Moreover, this piece of equipment required Level 19 to use.

Even Hellish Roar, who had the highest level, was only at Level 14, still a long way off.

"Alright, let’s begin today’s exploration."

Shen Xing put the cup away, then looked at the two Heroes beside him. "Which of you two will be in charge of the team?"

Reina replied without a second thought, "Let Hellish Roar go. I want to stay by your side."

Shen Xing paused for a moment, then looked at the bald Beastman next to him.

Hellish Roar’s expression was a bit odd as well. He scratched his head. "Alright, I’ll lead the team then."

"Fine." Shen Xing didn’t waste any words; it was all the same who led. "Then you’ll take a Beastman Squad, along with Dahou, and continue exploring to the west."

"Yes!"

Hellish Roar nodded respectfully, then turned and walked toward the inner city to organize the exploration team.

BZZZT BZZZT...

His pocket-sized phone vibrated again. A message had arrived from Xia Wanyin.

"Shen Xing, I’m at the entrance to your territory."

"Okay, you can come right in."

Since they were now allies, the Arrow Towers in the territory would not attack Xia Wanyin.

As for the traps at the entrance, Xia Wanyin had long since grown familiar with them.

Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair and waited at the territory’s entrance with Reina.

Soon, a "bling-bling," sparkling team walked in through the city gate entrance.

A squad of Light Elves, their bodies composed entirely of Light Element, surrounded a tall young woman.

Today, Xia Wanyin was once again dressed in a simple white dress, her eyes hollow, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Shen Xing sensed her and discovered several new Extraordinary Level auras around her.

Compared to their last meeting, the woman’s power had grown considerably.

What surprised Shen Xing even more was a two-meter-tall Light Element Knight among them, clad in white Light Armor and wielding a silver-white Knight’s Lance.

A Hero!

Xia Wanyin had actually promoted one of her Light Element Soldier Types to a Hero.

The difficulty of promoting a Soldier Type to a Hero needed no further Introduction.

Even Shen Xing himself had only obtained a Hero’s Certificate after taking first place in the recent rankings.

’Good grief, this woman really is loaded.’

’I fought my guts out for seven days just to get first place and add a Hero to my territory, and she just casually has one too.’

’I’ll be damned if she got that without spending a ton of money or having some powerful backer.’

"Shen Xing!"

Sensing his presence ahead, Xia Wanyin happily trotted over.

But just then, Reina, who was beside him, instantly raised her Magic Staff.

WHOOSH!

A massive Fire Wall rose up on the spot.

Xia Wanyin was startled and stood frozen in place as waves of heat washed over her.

Even the group of Light Elves instinctively drew their weapons, ready to strike at any moment. The atmosphere instantly grew tense, thick with hostility.

"Reina, what are you doing?" Shen Xing asked, turning his head.

"Lord, I apologize. I didn’t do it on purpose..." Reina also realized her reaction had been a bit extreme.

She had simply seen someone rushing toward Shen Xing and instinctively acted in defense.

"Don’t be so tense. Wanyin isn’t an enemy."

Shen Xing could see she hadn’t meant it, so he didn’t reprimand her. "Go on, apologize to our friend."

"Yes."

Reina dispelled the Fire Wall, bowed slightly, and said solemnly, "Miss Wanyin, I am very sorry."

"Wow, was that a Magic spell Reina just cast?!"

Xia Wanyin didn’t seem to mind what had just happened. Instead, she exclaimed in amazement, "Such a powerful Magic Power fluctuation! It’s even stronger than some of the Tier Three Mages I’ve seen!"

"I never expected Reina to be such an incredible Mage! Everyone’s talking about you now!"

Xia Wanyin had known about Reina’s existence since the fight against Gideon.

It’s just that the woman had always refused to use Fire Magic, so she hadn’t drawn much attention.

It wasn’t until this time in the Rain God Illusion Realm, when she unleashed those terrifying flames, that the world witnessed her power.

"You flatter me," Reina said humbly, lifting her head.

"Not at all! Miss Reina, you really are that strong," Xia Wanyin said with a smile. "If I had known, I would have paid any price to snatch you from Gideon’s hands back then."

"My loyalty is only to Lord Shen Xing," Reina said, her tone firm.

"Hehe, I know. I wouldn’t try to take something that belongs to Shen Xing."

Xia Wanyin smiled, then turned her head and said, "Shen Xing, let’s get started. We’ll help you finish exploring all the surrounding resource points today!"

Shen Xing glanced at her, a thought rising in his mind.

’This woman has been helping me ever since we first met.’

’I don’t know if it’s because she’s naturally kind, or if she sees me as a kindred spirit in suffering and wants to help because of that.’

’But either way, she bears no ill will.’

’Of course, I won’t just take her help for free. I’ll definitely repay her when I get the chance.’
