Chapter 45 Left in Each Arm, Sisters in Peril
None of this was too dangerous; he could handle it all.
After assessing the risks, Zhou Han quickly set off.
At this moment, in a humid and scorching mountain range, the two sisters were hiding in the grass, their bodies drenched in fragrant sweat.
In front of them stood a thick ancient tree shooting straight into the sky.
On it hung many crystal-clear fruits, emitting waves of alluring fragrance.
But the sisters didn't dare make the slightest move.
Because on the branches rested many Fire Cloud Birds. These birds were naturally attuned to the fire element, and the power of their fire-based attacks was extremely strong.
Moreover, they were all Gold-grade, far beyond what the two of them could handle.
After all, Han Qinxue was a priest—pure support, only healing and buffing.
And Han Xiangning was just a newbie mage.
Perhaps to improve her survivability, she had chosen the earth element.
Her defense was top-tier, but her damage output lagged behind.
So half an hour ago, they had already sent a message to Zhou Han.
Only Zhou Han could deal with a situation like this.
"Sis, it's so hot here! Why isn't Zhou Han here yet?"
Han Xiangning complained. At this moment, her clothes were completely soaked.
They clung tightly to her delicate body, full of irresistible temptation.
"Let's wait a bit longer! You've seen Zhou Han's movement speed. He should be here soon. We have to stay hidden, or it'll be bad if we're discovered."
Han Qinxue was also feeling the heat, her whole body drenched, her face flushed red.
However, her personality was steadier, more patient than her younger sister.
"If I had known, I would've chosen ice magic. At least I could cool down right now."
Han Xiangning felt helpless and could only continue to endure the torment.
Earlier, when they discovered these spirit fruits, they hadn't paid attention to their surroundings.
Without realizing it, they had entered the territory of the Fire Cloud Birds.
Now they didn't dare act rashly at all.
Once discovered, they'd be in serious trouble.
"This is bad, there are Fire Poison Insects nearby. We might get exposed."
Relying on her vision talent, Han Qinxue spotted traces of the insects, her expression turning grim as she spoke with worry.
Fire Poison Insects were one of the Fire Cloud Birds' favorite foods.
If the birds came to hunt, they would most likely be discovered.
"Then let's slowly move farther away from them."
Han Xiangning immediately suggested.
"Chirp chirp chirp…"
Before they could act, the cries of the Fire Cloud Birds rang out.
The calls were urgent, filled with anger.
"We've been spotted, retreat now!"
Han Qinxue's expression changed drastically as she shouted.
Soon, a massive blaze erupted behind them.
A flock of Fire Cloud Birds appeared, their eyes filled with ferocity.
They unleashed the skill [Fire Rain].
Flames filled the sky, pouring down toward them like rain.
"Ah! It's so hot! Earth Rock Armor, cover me now!"
Han Xiangning let out a soft cry of pain and quickly used her skill.
A layer of earthen light covered her body, but facing the overwhelming fire rain, it was still hard to withstand.
"I'll increase our speed—Holy Light Wings!"
Han Qinxue also used a support skill.
The two girls' speed increased significantly, but the brief sense of relief quickly sank into despair again.
"This is bad, there are Fire Scale Skylarks ahead. We're surrounded."
"What do we do? Are we going to die here today?"
"Sigh, it's all my fault for finding these spirit fruits. Otherwise, none of this would've happened."
"Don't say that, sis. If we die together, at least we'll have each other. It's just that we've never even experienced a man. If I had known, I would've gone with Zhou Han…"
"Yes, Zhou Han is a good man. I quite like him too."
"Sis, you—you really had feelings for Zhou Han all along!"
"Sigh, what's the point of saying all this now?"
The sisters hugged each other, trembling, their faces full of despair.
The flames in the sky drew closer and closer. They held each other tightly and closed their eyes.
From afar, Zhou Han saw the sea of flames and felt a sudden sense of unease.
Worried that something might happen to the sisters, he immediately pushed his speed to the limit and rushed over.
He arrived just in time to see this scene. In that critical moment, he used all his skills.
First [Sword Qi Storm], then [Shadow Soul Pierce], and [Eight-Direction Heaven-Splitting Slash]—all unleashed at once.
"Phew! Good thing I made it in time!"
The barrage of skills instantly wiped out most of the Fire Cloud Birds and Fire Scale Skylarks.
The remaining attacks still struck the sisters, but they were wearing equipment enhanced by Zhou Han.
So they took some damage, but it wasn't fatal.
Soon, the remaining monsters were completely cleared out by Zhou Han, and the crisis was fully resolved.
[You have unlocked a new skill. Do you want to check it?]
Zhou Han quickly took a look.
He found that it was the second skill of the Falling Leaf Sword Technique—[Wind Thunder Dance].
Since it was a Bronze-grade technique, it could only be enhanced three times.
After enhancement, Zhou Han checked its attributes.
[Wind Thunder Dance +3]: Powerful sword intent summons wind and thunder, dealing 5x lightning damage to enemies within a 10-meter range; additionally uses wind force to slow all enemy units within 30 meters by 90%.
The base damage wasn't very high, but the slow effect was extremely useful.
A 90% slow—this was brutal. It was basically impossible to move, almost like being stunned.
It was an incredibly useful support skill.
Even against large groups of enemies, they wouldn't be able to get close.
"Huh? We're not dead? What's going on?"
"Haha, we're alive! That's great!"
"Zhou Han, was it you who saved us? Am I dreaming?"
"Did you kill all these monsters?"
After a while, the sisters realized they were completely unharmed.
They opened their eyes in confusion and saw Zhou Han standing there.
Their hearts instantly settled, filled with a strong sense of security.
While they were overjoyed to be saved, they were also deeply shocked.
There were hundreds of monsters—Gold-grade and even Platinum-grade—and they had all been killed in less than a minute.
Zhou Han's strength had grown even more terrifying.
They remembered that just the day before yesterday, when they teamed up with him to kill Steel Armored Boars, they had to lure and pull monsters to defeat them.
Now, against Platinum-grade monsters, he was killing them instantly.
Zhou Han closed the interface and looked at the two sisters.
At this glance, his blood surged.
Their clothes were soaked and clung tightly to their bodies,
perfectly outlining their seductive curves.
Especially the deep cleavage of Han Qinxue,
so profound it seemed bottomless,
making Zhou Han momentarily lose himself.
If they weren't in the wilderness, Zhou Han really wanted to take these two temptresses right then and there, pin them down and fuck them on the spot.
This was simply a test of his self-control!
"Zhou Han, you're finally here. Thank you for saving us!"
"Zhou Han, this is wonderful. I thought I'd never see you again."
"If you had come any later, we'd be dead."
Under Zhou Han's stunned gaze, tears of gratitude shimmered in the two girls' eyes.
One on the left and one on the right, they threw themselves into his arms.
