Chapter Twenty-Three Challenge

  Han Jin slept extremely soundly because he had already acknowledged the people of Mo Xin Ke in his heart, entrusting his safety to them, and felt very at ease.

  It wasn't until Stillberg pushed Han Jin several times that he woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes to see Xian Ni Er and Stillberg both in the wooden shed, with Stillberg still holding a piece of roasted meat in his hand, the thick aroma wafting over.

  Han Jin came back to his senses and reached out to take the roasted meat, but Stillberg smiled and said: "Young master, let me feed you instead."

  "No need, I'm not that weak yet." Han Jin said with his elbow supporting the ground: "Just help me up."

  Stilberg didn't insist, carefully supporting Han Jin's back, Han Jin took a bite of the roasted meat and was taken aback: "Is this the flesh of the Great Land Bear?"

  "No." Xian Ni'er shook her head: "There's also an old mother bear near that little bear, Mo Xingke and I didn't dare provoke them."

  "That's right! You mustn't take risks for me, otherwise..." Han Jin revealed a bitter smile.

  "Who do you think you are?!" Xian Ni'er smiled: "If it's convenient, I can help you out, but if it means risking my life... no way."

  Han Jin was somewhat embarrassed: "What is this..."

  "This is venison, what's wrong? Don't you want to eat it?"

  "No, I'm already very satisfied with what I have." Han Jin made a happy face.

  Just then, Mo Xinke lifted the grass curtain and walked in with big strides: "Xian Ni'er, do you still have any fifth-grade magic crystals in your hand?"

  "Here it is." Xian Ni'er flipped her hand and several blue water crystals appeared in her palm, all of which were taken from the human-faced eagle by Han Jin.

  "This won't do, Sasori needs to be a Fire-type."

  "There's no more fire-type."

  "What's the point of that?" Mo Xinkai widened his eyes: "Your trap is useless on its own!"

  "I'll go out and talk to you guys for a bit, let Raphael rest here." Xanier made an eye gesture behind Han Jin's back.

  "Oh." Mo Xinkai nodded vaguely, turned around and walked away, but stopped after two steps: "By the way, Sasou, can I borrow your soft armor to take a look?"

  "What does he want to do?" Xanthe asked with a frown.

  "Your soft armor defense is too powerful, Sasori understands some alchemy, he wants to study it." Mosenko laughed: "Ha! If each of us has this kind of soft armor, what's there to be afraid of?"

  "Xian Ni Er's soft armor is indeed very solid." Han Jin nodded and said.

  "How did you know?" Mo Xinkai asked curiously.

  Han Jin's mind was preoccupied with a few phrases, "Is there still no fifth-order magic crystal", "Sasou's needs", "traps" and so on. When he heard Mo Xinko asking himself, he casually replied: "I've tried to tear it apart several times, but... Hehe." Before he could finish speaking, Han Jin had already realized his mistake and could only let out a dry laugh.

  "Don't mention your little strength." Mo Xinko smiled and said: "Even the Great Earth Bear..."

  "Where did you get so many words?" Xian Ni'er shouted.

  Something must have happened while Jin was asleep, because Mo Xun's attitude towards Xian Ni'er had changed. If it were yesterday, Xian Ni'er would not dare to speak to him in such a tone, or he would have blown up on the spot.

  "Okay, okay, I won't say... " Mosike suddenly froze: "Raphael, what did you just say? You said you used force..."

  "I didn't say anything!" Han Jin hastily shook his head in denial.

  Xian Ni'er took a deep breath, patted Mo Xin's shoulder and retreated two steps, then turned around swiftly, lifted the grass curtain and walked out of the wooden shed, the whole process looked very smooth.

  "Xian Ni Er, you guys..." Han Jin didn't know what to say. He now understood that Xian Ni Er and Mo Xin Ke had already fought against the Great Land Bear, and it was only because of the soft armor's protection that Xian Ni Er hadn't been injured! As for those few sentences he had been pondering earlier, they represented that Xian Ni Er and the others still hadn't given up, and were preparing to go hunt the Great Land Bear again.

  "I am a hunter, in this forest, I do not fear any challenges, on the contrary, I like this feeling." Xanier said calmly: "Don't think too much, I want to hunt those two Great Earth Bears, not all for you, but to improve my own strength, must go through the baptism of iron and blood, fighting is the only way to break through the bottleneck, accurately speaking, I am doing it for myself."

  "Are you an elf?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.

  "My identity shouldn't be a secret to you anymore." Xanier revealed a hint of a smile.

  "Didn't they say...that fairies all detest war?"

  "I'm an exception." Xanield paused: "In fact, every race has exceptions, such as you humans. A hundred years ago, the great wizard Heinrich traveled everywhere, calling on the lords to stop their endless wars, especially his words that are still unforgettable today."

  "What's up?"

  "He said a lot, can't be explained in just a few words. But what impressed me the most was that one sentence." Xanier's voice turned serious: "Empower the powerless, move forward those who are pessimistic!"

  The topic suddenly turned to this aspect, and Han Jin could only honestly shut his mouth. He understood too little about this world and was absolutely unable to elevate it to a philosophical level. If he forced himself to continue the conversation, he would be exposed if he wasn't careful.

  "Many spirits think that humans are a base, brutal and greedy life form. That's all I can say, those spirits are too shallow." Xanier said slowly: "Any race, including the dwarves, will give birth to noble ones, or even enlightened ones, it is they who guide their own race, or even the entire world towards prosperity and strength."

  "This...” Han Jin hesitated for a moment: "Don't you think this topic is too profound for me?" He suddenly had the feeling of facing a female doctor, which he had encountered before when he was a detective. This kind of person could always quote classics and talk endlessly about the future of humanity and social balance, leaving him no room to interrupt. The problem was that Han Jin only wanted to absorb energy, more and more energy, and wasn't interested in other things.

  Xian Ni'er looked at Han Jin and after a moment, she spoke up: "Do you know how the Great Master Haine died?"

  Han Jin's face was full of helplessness, and it had become a situation where everyone spoke their own language and couldn't communicate with each other.

  "Because he had a heart that wanted to change the chaotic world, but didn't have the power to change it." Xanier said the answer herself.

  "Cough... Xian Ni Er, I know... you have great respect for that Grandmaster Haine, but he's been dead for a long time and has nothing to do with us, right?" Han Jin looked at Xian Ni Er's expression: "Now I just want to know, why are you helping me like this?"

  "Out of curiosity." Xanthe smiled: "You have a kind of talent that has never appeared before, I wonder how far you can go."

  "Just out of curiosity?"

  "Yes, what did you think I wanted?"

  "So... can you listen seriously to what I have to say?"

  "You tell me."

  "Xian Ni Er, what do you think is our greatest advantage?"

  "What's our advantage?" Xian Ni'er thought seriously for a moment: "It seems like we don't have any advantages."

  "It's time." Han Jin said helplessly: "We are still young, we have a lot of time, and there is nothing that can force us to take risks now. Believe me, don't attack the Great Earth Bear yet. Before, you didn't know my secret, I was still confident in myself, now with your help, I am even more confident, we don't need to rush into anything!"

  "Your personality is very steady." Xian Ni'er smiled: "Let me think about it again."
