It's not like meeting a D-class and seeing him again after eighteen years.

"But I can't keep up with you..."

Liu Nan seemed a little hesitant, but she seemed to understand the situation.

However, her concern may be that her physical fitness is too poor. Together with He Ao, she may not be able to reach the tower when the exploration time is over.

"It's okay," He Ao shook his head, "Forget it if you can't get there, it's all about exploration."

"ah?"

Liu Nan was stunned. She looked into He Ao's eyes and paused. "If you encounter a safer area along the way, you can put me there."

--after an hour--

The two walked about ten kilometers under the fiery morning sun.

Liu Nan could no longer walk, and the two of them rested on a hillside. Just after resting for a while, Liu Nan suddenly stood up and pointed into the distance,

"He Ao, look, that one over there."

He Ao looked up and saw a huge black and white striped beetle running quickly in the distance.

"That's a running beetle," Liu Nan said excitedly. "The research institute's illustrated book says that this kind of beetle can be domesticated and used as a means of transportation. With it, we can reach the tower."

But then she thought of something and became decadent, "But this kind of beetle is D-class, so we probably won't be able to catch it."

"It seems we are lucky."

He Ao glanced at Liu Nan and smiled.

Then he suddenly jumped out and faced the huge beetle.

The way to tame a beetle is very simple, just knock it down.

After He Ao forcibly lifted the beetle and threw it to the ground more than a dozen times, the beetle finally chose to give up.

It bent down, bent its legs and gently rubbed against He Ao's side.

--ten minutes later--

Liu Nan carefully climbed onto the back of the beetle and looked at He Ao with some confusion, "Why don't you come up?"

"Need not."

He Ao shook his head, "I'll come up again if there's danger later. I'll go ahead to clear the way. You follow me."

After saying that, he ran directly forward, leaving his back to Liu Nan.

With the help of the Beetle, the subsequent journey was much faster.

He Ao met many D-class beasts on the road, and they were all stabbed through by the sharpened bone sword that He Ao took from the octopus, and all the good flesh on their bodies was cut off by He Ao.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and He Ao found a deserted hillside and prepared to set up a barbecue.

Woo——
Chapter completed!
