The system is the proficiency panel

With the infusion of Lin Jimu's spiritual power, Ye Wanjun quickly recovered and stood firm, saying somewhat embarrassedly.

"I tried my best. The hardness of that armor is comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon. It can also absorb and gather surrounding power, and release it all at once when it reaches its limit. Its power can reach the second realm. That's how I was defeated."

"That's it."

Lin Ji responded, then condensed a marble-sized, highly concentrated spiritual energy ball at his fingertips and ejected it with his bent fingers.

boom!

The spiritual power ball instantly hit the figure rushing towards this side, knocking him back first, and then penetrating the heart protected by the armor, leaving a hole.

Completely without the ability to resist, the man's obsession was directly shattered by this blow, and his body was shattered into atomic size and completely dissipated. However, the armor was not completely destroyed and its quality was indeed good.

Lin Ji didn't pay attention to him, but started to look through the diary again. However, just as he opened the page, another accident happened. The illusion left behind by the main force was attacked. He simply tried to do three things at once, reading the diary and controlling the two illusions at the same time.

……

In the area lower down the hillside of Mount Karian, under the leadership of Mo Ranyan, they avoided most of the dangerous places, but the ferocious beasts living here were difficult to avoid.

On the open mountainside, Mo Ranyan was fighting with a giant fire lizard. The lizard was covered with hard black scales, and its mouth was full of densely packed sharp teeth. Its tail waved like a steel whip, and every time it swept through it would stir up a strong wind, and when it hit the ground it would be like an earthquake.

Although Mo Ranyan is also good at close combat, this huge beast of the same level has extremely strong vitality. Even if he has a great advantage, he cannot kill the opponent in a short time.

What troubled Mo Ranyan was that this ferocious beast had a tribal consciousness. There were dozens of fire lizards around besieging them, and there were even stronger fluctuations coming from the distance, as if it was disturbed by the fighting here.

As someone who had explored Kairyan several times, Mo Ranyan knew what that existence was. After his eyes changed several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"retreat!"

He didn't want to meet that kind of guy.

Roar~~~!

The lizards in the fierce fight seemed to understand Mo Ranyan's words and immediately let out excited cries.

The phantom hidden in the crowd was naturally also listed as an attack target by these lizards. When it was about to be attacked by flames, Lin Ji began to remotely control the phantom to fight.

The knife energy cut through the flames, and then a stream of sword energy hit the lizard's throat at a tricky angle, cutting its neck in half. It howled, spurted out a lot of blood, and fell to the ground, struggling.

'After all, it is just an illusion. It has no spiritual power of its own and can only control the spiritual power around it to attack. Its strength is equivalent to the foundation of comprehending potential, but it is enough.'

Thinking of this, Lin Ji controlled Ye Wanjun's illusion to move forward and stab him again, and then the two of them cooperated to retreat towards the direction of Mo Ranyan.

The group retreated about 50 miles, got rid of the lizards and reunited. Even though Mo Ranyan blocked the leading lizard, they still lost four people. For a moment, everyone's morale inevitably dropped, and some of them asked puzzled questions.

"Lord Mo, we have already gained the upper hand. We can win if we continue to fight. Why should we retreat?"

Seeing that someone questioned his decision, he would at least punish them in the past. However, if he punished his own people immediately after a failure, the team would sooner or later break up, so Mo Ranyan decided to explain.

"We can win if we continue to fight, and the losses won't be great, but something unexpected happened. I sensed the Red Flame Beast approaching, so I ordered a retreat."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and some of the knowledgeable people even showed fear and relief on their faces.

"The Scarlet Flame Beast? It's the ferocious beast that guards the Holy Mountain in the legend. It's said that anyone who encounters it head-on will die, including the Martial Saint."

"Fortunately, City Lord Mo is here, otherwise we would be dead."

The words of praise and admiration calmed down the anger hidden in Mo Ranyan's heart, and he began to think about what to do next.

"With the Red Flame Beast here, we can't go up from the west. We have to change the route. I remember Yanling went from the southwest, and his team is the strongest. We might as well chase them. We have an excuse anyway."

Having made the decision, Mo Ranyan glanced around, expressed his thoughts, and gave the order to start heading southwest. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Ji and the others.

"Strange, am I wrong? The strengths of these two people in the past are indeed only military commanders, but they cooperate very well in battle, as if they are in sync with each other."

……

The diary records what happened to a woman named Sarah Winter after she accidentally entered the fusion area.

(I encountered a monster. Thank God, I escaped with my brother. After spending a night in a dark cave, we found a village. The people there were very simple and kind. We stayed there, but there was a little trouble because of the language barrier.)

(After a month of barely learning the local language, I was finally able to communicate with everyone. My brother, Al Winter, was very talented in cultivation and was accepted by the hunting team here for training. I became a doctor here, and we officially settled down here.)

What followed was a long segment of daily life, which Lin Ji skipped directly.

(I have lived here for three years, and I still think about the past occasionally. Today, two outsiders went into the holy mountain to explore and were injured. They were rescued by the villagers, and I was sent to treat them. One was an Asian, and the other was a native of the integrated area.)

(A few months later, the injuries of these two people finally healed. One of them was called Mo Ran Yan and the other was called Ye You Xing. They said they came here to find the treasure on the map. I took a look at the map and it looked familiar.)

When Lin Ji saw these two names in the diary, he instantly thought of many things and had a preliminary guess about what would happen next.

The rest of the content in the diary was exactly as Lin Ji expected. Yeyouxing fell in love with Sarah Winter, and learned the secret of the map from her. Yeyouxing successfully obtained the star liquid, but this was also the beginning of the tragedy of the village.

According to the last diary entry, not long after the woman gave birth, she asked Ye Youxing to take the child back to the family to show her relatives, while she prepared to hold a banquet and invited many people, including Mo Ran Yan.

Lin Ji guessed that this village was massacred by Mo Ranyan, and that child might be Ye Zixin. She just didn't understand why Sarah Winter didn't tell others the entrance to exchange for a chance of survival. Logically speaking, the people in the village treated them very well, so she had this motive.

After putting away the diary, Lin Ji waved to signal Ye Wanjun to follow. This place was no longer valuable and it was time to leave.

"Mo Ranyan and the others are heading southwest very fast. They have already joined Yan Ling and are preparing to head to the middle of the mountain. We have to hurry over as well."
