Blake looked at her suspiciously, but just shrugged and said matter-of-factly.
"Then I'll fly in the sky, and you can walk on your own two legs."
What are you saying... Jiang Kehan blinked, thinking she had misheard.
But Blake didn't give her time to react. He flipped over, sat on the broom, and flew off into the wild, all the while giving Jiang Kehan some instructions.
"Don't use magic, run on foot! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble if the prey spots you."
Jiang Kehan laughed in exasperation, and could only lift her legs and chase after Blake as he walked away.
Blake's behavior may seem obvious, but it was definitely intentional.
There's no restriction that only one person can ride a broom, and she flies incredibly fast, with a kind of beauty that doesn't care about Jiang Kehan's life or death.
Jiang Kehan took off running, but she could barely keep up with Blake, and if she wasn't mistaken.
Is there a swamp ahead?
Jiang Kehan's face turned completely dark. She suddenly had an urge to grab Blake and beat him up.
Fortunately, Blake seemed to know that the swamp was not easy to escape from, and he slowed down his flight, giving Jiang Kehan a chance to keep up with her.
But before Jiang Kehan could catch her breath, Blake pulled off an even more outrageous move.
She swooped down, startling many creatures living there, none of whom were above level 5, but there were thousands of them in number.
"Kehan, don't attack!" Blake said, turning back to Jiang Kehan with a big laugh.
"Damn it!" Jiang Kehan gritted her teeth, looking at the giant black mass that blocked her way like a swarm of mosquitoes.
Ye Yu couldn't help but chuckle as she watched this scene.
"What Blake did wasn't wrong; these creatures can better conceal your tracks. It's just that it was a bit too unethical."
While Blake was soaring freely in the sky, dodging attacks from other creatures, his eyes were actually fixed on Jiang Kehan.
She stroked her chin, easily smashing a level 4 dragon into bloody foam, muttering to herself.
"Let me take a good look at what's so special about you."
Suddenly, Blake casually spotted a level 5 dragon that had awakened, its strength probably comparable to the Yin Peak Dragon that Jiang Kehan had painstakingly hunted.
“Hey, you can’t go over there.” She turned to look at the level 5 dragon and took out her staff—a two-handed greatsword that shone with silver light and was almost the size of a door.
Without using any magic, Blake simply swooped down towards the dragon, using his exquisite swordsmanship to entangle it, and then, amidst the pursuit of countless creatures, gracefully dissected the level 5 dragon.
However, looking at the increasingly dense array of creatures around her, her lips twitched slightly, and she felt a little guilty.
"Did I put in too much seduction potion? It feels like it's getting dark." Blake hesitated and looked back at Jiang Kehan.
The other person's face turned completely cold as she dodged and weaved through the swarm of mosquitoes. Although she looked extremely disheveled, at least she was out of danger, so she relaxed with a carefree attitude.
Jiang Kehan, who had to cross the swamp on foot, couldn't possibly laugh.
The swamp beneath her feet wasn't much of a problem for the witch; she could walk there a little slower than on flat ground. But the fact that the swamp and the creatures around it were all poisonous was a real problem.
They couldn't fight back, and they couldn't dodge either, so they could only run away with their heads in their hands.
"Uh, Sister Ye Yu, do you mean this is normal?" Jiang Kehan asked, on the verge of tears.
Ye Yu stared at the small pebbles on Jiang Kehan's clothes without making a sound.
This was probably left when Blake patted Jiang Kehan on the shoulder, combined with the other party's homemade, absolutely unreliable seduction potion, which drove these normally timid creatures completely mad.
"You're supposed to be a mid-level witch, so nothing except a level 5 dragon can do much damage to you. You should learn from this." That was all Ye Yu said in the end.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan just wanted to kick Blake's butt hard with her boots, preferably until it was bruised like a tomato.
Watching the other person swagger through the air, and then looking at the "black clumps" around her that were denser than a swarm of insects, she finally understood why the other person was called the Wandering Knight.
The other party must have been incredibly reckless to be able to act so arrogantly.
Moreover, for Jiang Kehan, if she doesn't act recklessly now, she'll likely be held back by these creatures, which would almost certainly lead to her death.
Such an anomaly would require the local deity, a level 6 dragon, to investigate; otherwise, all would be lost.
"I don't think I'll be able to do anything even if I don't learn this." Jiang Kehan took a deep breath, her brain working at lightning speed. Although that's what she said, she had already put all her effort into imitating Blake's rhythm.
Although the other party was riding a broom, the situation in the sky was not much better than hers. But strangely, Blake seemed to be toying with these creatures, while Yueyi* Sanshi Lengqi Er Er 4VIII Temple was not like Jiang Kehan, who was tortured to the point of being expressionless.
The difference between the two is obvious.
Jiang Kehan's brain was racing as she tried repeatedly amidst the torment.
Predict, then execute...
No, when making a prediction, you must act subconsciously and not give yourself the opportunity to overturn the prediction.
This isn't a test; the circumstances around you are constantly changing. Only by completely trusting your first choice can you seize the opportunity.
Huff... Jiang Kehan took a deep breath, completely emptying her mind, and stared intently at the dense "swarm of mosquitoes" around her.
Chapter 320 A Step Ahead of Thought
Do you trust your intuition?
Would you overturn your own thinking for the sake of so-called intuition?
At this moment, Jiang Kehan was entangled in these two questions. She tried her best to imitate Blake's mannerisms, but she couldn't grasp the key point.
Acting on predictions sounds simple, but seeing the constantly changing situation around her, Jiang Kehan always subconsciously thinks further, leading to distorted actions.
Trying to empty your mind is a joke. While you might be able to act quickly after emptying your mind, it's all wrong and will only make things worse.
Jiang Kehan looked at her clothes, which had been torn in several more places, and her face gradually fell.
She pushed away the swarming monsters that resembled bees with fish heads, feeling as if she was about to be forced to use magic.
On Jiang Kehan's shoulder, Ye Yu yawned as if nothing had happened, and only spoke slowly when he saw that Jiang Kehan was about to give up.
"Kehan, what do you do when you feel lost?"
While dealing with the other magical beasts, Jiang Kehan pondered before speaking.
"When I feel lost, I relax until the answer I want emerges in my mind. It may not be the right one, but at least it will prevent me from having any regrets."
"So, how is your current situation different from when you were confused?" Ye Yu said casually, looking at the increasingly dense, pitch-black "waves" that made it difficult to move.
Jiang Kehan frowned, feeling as if she understood something, yet it seemed like it was just an illusion.
She couldn't help but look up at Blake in the sky, who remained as nonchalant as ever, as if she were surfing the waves rather than struggling to survive.
Jiang Kehan suddenly realized that Blake's expression remained indifferent throughout, even bordering on boring.
She didn't see Blake looking thoughtful, but she did see his precise actions... No!
Jiang Kehan discovered that Blake also had his embarrassing moments. The other party's judgment was not entirely correct, or rather, Blake had never made any judgment at all!
The other party is simply relying on their inner thoughts, using actions to compensate for their lack of reflection!
It wasn't intuition, nor was it any extraordinary thought; it was simply trusting one's own heart.
"Oh, I see..." Jiang Kehan suddenly laughed.
She no longer thinks obsessively, nor does she try to completely empty her mind. Instead, she listens to her heart and does things "just right."
Jiang Kehan felt that there were suddenly more gaps around her that allowed her to dodge, and even her movements became smoother.
Although she still gets entangled with him sometimes, she can quickly get rid of him, and gradually she comes to understand Blake's mindset.
Everything around me is unimportant, therefore it's boring.
Thinking is inevitable, yet unified. Under the command of the inner general, everything is unobstructed and perfectly natural.
Meanwhile, Blake, who was watching Jiang Kehan from high above, also noticed her change. A hint of a smile gradually appeared on his boring expression, and he whistled.
"Not bad! Now that you've got it, let's go faster, faster!!!"
"This place is still a long way from the gods."
After saying that, she stopped behaving herself and sped up, causing Jiang Kehan, who had just felt grateful to her on the ground, to break into a broken smile.
Have some decency, Miss Blake!
Jiang Kehan was completely speechless. Although she had figured it out, it didn't mean she could immediately become as proficient as the other person. If she sped up, she would inevitably get beaten up.
But watching Blake gradually disappear into the distance, she could only grit her teeth and try to unleash her potential to speed up her pursuit.
As it turns out, the probability of a witch unleashing her full power outside of a crisis is still too low.
At least Jiang Kehan, with her bruised and swollen face, didn't manage to do that.
When she caught up with Blake, who was waiting there, he frowned and made a shushing gesture at her.
Jiang Kehan swallowed back her inner complaints, then looked at the other person with a serious expression and asked in a low voice.
"Has the discovery of traces of the gods?"
Blake shook his head and said casually, "I was just tired of sweeping, and I was wondering if there were any materials around to make a masculinity potion."
It hardened, it hardened, Jiang Kehan's fist hardened.
She took a deep breath, trying to convince herself that she still needed to rely on the other party to continue the investigation, but she just couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"Forget it, we're already inside, so we don't need a broom. From now on, we just have to take it slow."
Blake also felt that his behavior of looking for herbs in the swamp was indeed a bit outrageous, and said with a chuckle.
"The reason we had to rely on the cover of other creatures just now is because the realm of the gods has three lines of defense."
Blake held up one finger and explained to Jiang Kehan, "Firstly, and most importantly, is the field of vision."
“All the gods have the habit of scanning their pastures, which seems to be an instinct, but this scanning is more like leisure and entertainment, relying solely on the naked eye.”
"So if there's no cover on the ranch, we're easy to spot."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan became somewhat nervous. For some reason, the previously rampaging swarm of mosquitoes did not approach the area; instead, they all retreated.
This allowed her and Blake to communicate with peace of mind.
Sensing Jiang Kehan's nervousness, Blake smiled and raised his second finger, saying, "Don't worry, the gods can't see here."
"Because this place is already the god's own home, known as the heartland, it won't be idle enough to look at this place. Instead, it will rely on the god's powerful perception."
"Hmm, it's somewhat similar to our magic detection. Unless there are special energy fluctuations, it's basically undetectable."
"However, it still keeps some pets or guards in the hinterland, which is why we still have to be careful."
