My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 22: Let's go hunt those... forget it, we can't beat them anyway.

Hey, it's time to deceive the players again, Fang Leng thought to himself. It's better to give Han Yan some benefits since he has been leeching off their energy.

Looking at the human skin coat in his hand, Fang Leng suddenly had an idea.

Since he didn't want to wear it, why not give it to Han Yan?

Players may not have many thoughts, as long as the equipment attributes are good. The human skin coat has already been purified and will no longer affect a person's mentality. Although it's not as strong as before, with its soul-stealing passive ability, it is clearly a great equipment with growth potential. And players can infinitely respawn monsters.

However, there is probably a limit to this, it's not possible to continuously strengthen it. But this equipment is very suitable for players.

And by using this, perhaps he can deceive Han Yan into leveling up with him!

Fang Leng himself won't gain energy points from killing monsters, it's obvious that he can only get energy points by stealing the player's experience. So it's necessary to team up with a player, preferably one who is efficient and easy to deceive, and Han Yan fits the bill perfectly.

"Take this coat, I have other uses for this broken sword and fox fur," Fang Leng said, handing the coat to Han Yan. Han Yan didn't waste any words and immediately took off the fashion she bought for ten coins, revealing her well-proportioned figure.

Fang Leng strongly condemned this act of changing clothes in front of him!

Then he stared at her with a critical gaze without blinking.

Han Yan changed clothes quickly, and soon the human skin coat transformed into a large robe that covered her whole body.

Although she is a hunter, she looks like a mage.

Is it convenient to run with such a robe?

The human skin coat is a fashion item and does not take up an equipment slot. Fashion items with such attributes are absolutely Supreme Grade, even in the Late Stage, they are very precious, not to mention the ability to change shape at will, which makes it a treasure.

Han Yan felt like she had hit the jackpot on this trip, so she didn't need anything else. After Fang Leng saw her change into the coat, he immediately set fire to the fox's body.

Without the protection of fur and without any special strength, the body quickly turned to ashes, leaving only a purple crystal. At the same time, a sword aura shot up into the sky.

That sword aura might be left by Yao Guang. Fang Leng didn't pay too much attention to it, but in a valley far away in Shuzhou City, a glamorous woman seemed to sense something and looked towards Xu State City.

[Monstrous Crystal: Transformed from Monstrous Power, contains abundant energy, will cause loss of sanity if used by non-Monster Race]

Fang Leng picked up the purple crystal in front of him and heard a system prompt in his ear: "Do you want to convert it into energy?"

Can I do that too?

Fang Leng decisively chose yes.

[You have obtained 1000 energy points]

He earned so much from just one crystal, and he was only one step away from 10,000 energy points. Maybe after one more day, he could log off.

I should kill more Monster Kings in the future...

Emmmm, wake up first, I can't beat them.

The treasure hunt is over, Fang Leng only obtained a sharp broken sword and some fragments. He didn't bother picking them up because as long as the broken part is still there, there will be a chance to reforge it in the future. The day of reforging the broken sword...

It's probably useless now, and reforging a demonic weapon is troublesome, so Fang Leng doesn't plan to do it.

After everything was settled, the problem of how to return became an issue. He was sent back to the village by Yao Guang with a wave of his hand before, but now even summoning a giant roc wouldn't be enough to fly back.

However, there seems to be a road downhill. If he goes around, maybe there will be a way to return.

Fang Leng is not familiar with the map in this area, and the system hasn't provided any map hints, so he has to explore and discover everything himself.

"We have obtained the treasure, let's go back. You go ahead and scout the way!"

Han Yan: "..."

This NPC really has no gentlemanly demeanor at all. How can he let the girl walk in front while he walks behind?

But Fang Leng has no choice either. Players can be resurrected when they die, but when an NPC dies, they're really dead. What's the point of being shameless and developing a bad reputation?

There is a deep forest not far away. Even though it's daytime, not much light shines through. The trees are tall, and there are no paths in the jungle.

Just as a certain tree person said, there were no paths in the world originally. It's only because many people have walked that paths have formed.

Few people have been to this mountain, so there are naturally no paths. They're completely relying on Han Yan's random wandering.

Fang Leng originally thought that as a hunter, he should be able to judge the direction. But he realized that Han Yan had led him in circles. He silently made a mark on a tree and when they encountered it again, he knew that they were probably lost.

"Stop, stop, stop. Haven't you noticed that you're going in circles?"

Fang Leng stopped Han Yan, who was wandering around, and Han Yan asked, "Really?"

Fang Leng pointed to the mark and said, "I made this mark just now, and now we've bumped into it again."

"Could it be that we've encountered some kind of formation?"

Fang Leng: "......"

Fine, let me lead the way!

He had just been following Han Yan without paying attention, and with so many trees, it was indeed easy to get turned around.

Han Yan's theory couldn't be ruled out, but who would be bored enough to set up a formation in this forest?

However, after Fang Leng led Han Yan in a circle and returned, he started to believe it.

Han Yan had no reference point, but Fang Leng had marked the trees they passed. Unexpectedly, they had come back to the same place.

Moreover, he couldn't even find his way back to where he had found the fox corpse.

The path back had somehow changed.

The forest was too deep, and the light was already dim. It was difficult to find the right direction.

He needed to stay calm now.

Suddenly, Fang Leng thought, if he couldn't determine the direction on the ground, why not go up into the sky?

With this thought, Fang Leng used his slightly recovered Literary Qi to summon a giant eagle shadow and flew up into the sky to overlook the forest. He discovered that the trees below actually formed the shape of a Tai Chi diagram.

It really was a formation!

He didn't know who had set it up. This was beyond his knowledge as a planner.

So, the question was, since it was a formation, how could it be broken?

This was where Fang Leng's knowledge gap lay.

Only after reaching Xu State City could a formation master have the opportunity to change professions. Right now, Fang Leng could only look up at the sky.

Hmm, it's getting dark.

The light was already dim, and now in the mountains and forests, it was almost pitch black.

Fang Leng didn't expect to encounter this situation. When he descended the mountain, he planned to get the treasure and find another way down the mountain so that he could fly back. He didn't expect to be trapped in the forest.

Han Yan, who was with Fang Leng, was quite calm. She watched Fang Leng anxiously and even wanted to bring a bag of melon seeds to snack on.

After all, she could be resurrected in the city if she died, so she wasn't worried at all.

Just then, a Scholar who could use fire magic summoned a large fireball.

Hey, calm down. Setting the mountain on fire won't solve anything!
