162: Promotion, DEJA VU, 2nd Watch

Xi Yanjin strode down the stairs and walked to Xia Junhuang's side. He reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, and his deep and suppressed voice slowly flowed into Xia Junhuang's ears.

"It's good that you're fine... "

Xia Junhuang quietly leaned into Xi Yanjin's arms and said jokingly, "I realized that you like to hug me. "

"MM. " Xi Yanjin gave a deep "mm" and did not speak.

What he did not tell Xia Junhuang was that only by hugging her could he feel her existence. Only by hugging her could he be sure that she was fine. Only by hugging her could he ease the burning love in his heart.

Qiu Yichen and the others also walked down one after another. After the two of them separated, they asked, "boss, what exactly is this thing? "

Xia Junhuang stretched out her hand and spread it out On her palm, there was a light purple crystal core that was shining brightly. "It's a level five mutated tree demon. Its body is in a small village seven kilometers away. The trees within a radius of ten kilometers are all roots that grew out of its body. "

"What? " Young Master Zou was instantly shocked, and then he violently shivered. Thinking that he had actually walked into the lair of a level five mutated tree demon, he felt a chill all over his body, and his scalp went numb.

The rest of the people also shivered. Xu Yan did not forget to look at Xia Junhuang with admiration and praised, "Junhuang, you're really great! "

Xi Yanjin quietly looked at the crystal core in Xia Junhuang's hand. His lips were as flat as a knife and his heart was floating.

Xia Junhuang raised her eyes to look into Xi Yanjin's deep and reserved eyes. Seeing the deep and repressed emotions in them, her eyes softened a little and she said mockingly, "eat it. One Crystal Core and you're bribed? "

Xi Yanjin looked at the faint teasing smile on Xia Junhuang's face and was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Xia Junhuang to tease him.

In his heart, she had always been calm and indifferent. Now that she had suddenly acted like this, he could not react in time. However, the first thing he did was to make the most genuine reaction in his heart, which was corroded by waves of sweetness.

The Group of people at the side looked at the crystal core with starlight in their eyes. However, they were all mocking and envious smiles and did not have the slightest bit of jealousy.

As for Tian Xi, he had long forgotten to react when Xia Junhuang took out the grade-5 crystal core. Then, he thought of the root that had suddenly withered and had a faint guess in his heart. It was precisely because of this that his eyes widened He looked at Xia Junhuang in disbelief.

She actually killed a grade-5 mutated demon tree? ! . ...

Xi Yanjin did not have the time to care about what the others were thinking. His entire heart was focused on Xia Junhuang, and his eyes were filled with her. Then, under her instructions, he pried open the crystal core and poured all the crystal liquid inside into his mouth.

As the crystal liquid slid down like an icy spring, Xi Yanjin felt a cool sensation in his internal organs. Then, a warm sensation rushed into his brain, slowly enveloping his entire body and head.

In the end, as a violent heat current emerged, something seemed to break in his mind. Then, an unknown shape was formed. Then, a light appeared under his feet, which turned out to be five red phantoms.

When the crowd saw these phantoms, their eyes lit up with joy. Young Master Zou, Kai Shuo, Xu Yan, and the others immediately cried out in unison, "a peak level-five superpowered person! "

This was definitely the person with the highest level of power they had seen since the end of the world, except for Xia Junhuang!

Tian Xi was also extremely shocked. A PEAK LEVEL-FIVE POWER USER Xi Yanjin was definitely the second person with the highest level of power he had seen so far... ...

However, when Xi Yanjin was about to level up, an image suddenly appeared in his mind, causing a hint of surprise to rise up in his deep and sharp eyes. The image that appeared in his eyes was actually his mind.. It was as if he had seen through his own mind. Then, in the deep part of his brain, he saw a small crystal core that was emitting a faint Purple Halo.

Xia Junhuang saw a flash of surprise in Xi Yanjin's eyes. Her eyes were calm, as if she knew why he was so shocked.

"level-five superpowers are the dividing line for all superpowered people. Once you reach level-five, a crystal nucleus will appear in your brain. That is to say, not only can zombies and mutated animals make people level-up, but even superpowered people who reach level-five can also make people level-up with the crystal nucleus in their brain. "

The cold words that suddenly appeared in his mind made Xi Yanjin's eyes darken. He could already foresee that in the near future, human beings would become his enemies... ...

The next morning, the group set off again. Tian Xi was with them. After traveling for a whole day, they arrived at Sha Dong base in the evening.

This time, because of Tian Xi's arrangement, no one came to collect Xia Junhuang and XI Yanjin's cars. After Xia Junhuang stored the cars in the void realm, she walked into Sha Dong base step by step.

Strangely, when she walked into the base step by step and got closer to Quan Yi, her breathing became much calmer. No matter what happened in her previous life, if they met now, only one of them would survive, and the one who would survive would be her.

Sha Dong base was originally a prison, so most of the people in it slept in the prison. The houses that the prison guards slept in were reserved for those with high status, which meant that those with high-level superpowers would be able to stay there.

Tian Xi was a level-four superpowered person. He was considered one of the strongest people in the base, and was even one of the most capable subordinates of Emperor Quan. Therefore, he had a lot of power. He directly arranged for Xia Junhuang, Xi Yanjin, and the others to stay in the prison guards'rooms Then, he walked towards Emperor Quan's office.

When the captain of the guards who stayed behind saw Tian Xi, he was a little surprised for a moment. Then, he chuckled and said, "When did General Tian Xi come back? He completed the mission so quickly. It seems that leader will be rewarded handsomely when he comes back. "

Tian Xi's expression froze when he heard that. He frowned and asked, "the leader is not in the base? "

"That's right. This morning, he brought some people to the Ning an base in the west and went to discuss something with the leader there. He will probably return in two days. "

"Two days later... " Tian Xi pondered for a moment before turning around and leaving quickly without saying anything.

When the captain of the guards saw Tian Xi's anxious look, he was slightly stunned. Then, he muttered in confusion, "could it be that the mission failed? That's impossible... "

After that, Tian Xi directly went to look for Xia Junhuang because he knew that Xia Junhuang had come here completely for Quan Huang.

"leader went to Ning an base this morning. He will probably be back in two days. " Tian Xi looked at Xia Junhuang and said straightforwardly.

When Xia Junhuang heard that, her eyes were deep and unfathomable. It was like an endless dark and cold abyss. After a long while, she said indifferently, "we will leave first thing tomorrow morning. "

When Tian Xi heard that, he frowned and looked at her deeply. Then, he left without saying anything. He always felt that this girl was too strange, as if she had some kind of grudge with leader. However, he couldn't explain it clearly... ...

After Tian Xi left, Xi Yanjin did not say anything. He reached out and hugged Xia Junhuang again, wrapping her in a strong and warm embrace.

Xia Junhuang did not say anything. She just quietly leaned on his shoulder, feeling the waves of warmth and security emanating from his body. Her heart gradually warmed up.

Early the next morning, Xia Junhuang, Xi Yanjin, and the others did not stay any longer and left the Sha Dong Base.

Two days later, in the evening, when a group of tightly-packed carriages drove into the Sha Dong base, a man about 26 years old walked out of the large off-road vehicle at the front. People also walked out of the cars behind him However, they did not walk directly into the base like the men did. Instead, they were inspected at the entrance of the base.

The dusky sky covered the man's body, causing his aura to appear a little dark and strange. That fair and gentle face had distinct lines but was unusually soft. It was like a piece of finely carved jade, shining with a rich luster Even though he was wearing a camouflage suit, it still could not hide the elegant and noble aura of a young master on his body.

However, that cinnabar mole on the tip of his left eyebrow gave this orchid-like rich and noble aura a hint of flirtatious charm, especially under the contrast of that pair of penetrating cold eyes That handsome and noble-like man looked even more noble and imposing, giving people a sense of distance.

Tian Xi went to Emperor Quan's office after learning that he had returned. However, Emperor Quan had not arrived at the office when he went. Just as he was staring at the human bones on the table in a daze, a clear voice came from behind him.

"Tian Xi? When did you come back? "

Tian Xi quickly turned around. When he saw the man's elegant and handsome face staring at him with a smile like that of a orchid, he quickly withdrew his gaze He lowered his head slightly and said, "I came back two days ago, but the mission failed. We encountered a level five mutated tree monster. Other than me, no one in the team survived. "

"Oh? " Quan Yi slowly walked to the side of the desk and leaned against it. The smile on his face disappeared. He smiled lightly and said indifferently, "I didn't expect a level five mutated plant to appear now. With your level, you can't beat that tree monster. Who saved you? "

Tian Xi was silent for a moment, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes However, he said straightforwardly, "it's a girl, a girl about eighteen years old. Although I didn't see how she did it, she did get the level five crystal core, and... "

At this point, Tian Xi paused for a moment, and a hint of interest flashed across Quan Yi's eyes. The smile on his face didn't diminish, and the cinnabar on the tip of his brows slightly moved up, waiting for his next words.

Tian Xi didn't pause for long, but he continued in a flash, "she seems to know the leader. I wonder if the leader's real name is Quan Yi. "

Quan Yi's expression froze, but the smile on his face was still as elegant as jade. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but at the same time, there was a layer of bone-chilling coldness.

"What's her name? "

Tian Xi looked up at Quan Yi and slowly opened his mouth to say three words, "Xia Junhuang. "

Quan Yi's lanzhi-like eyebrows seemed to loosen a little, and a faint trace appeared between his brows. He muttered softly, "Xia Junhuang... "

For some reason, at this moment, when he was mulling over these three words, he suddenly felt a very faint but familiar feeling.

Although he had never heard of this name, he had a strange feeling that he should know her... ...
