If You Want Comfort, Just Say So.

"What were you two chatting about just now? You seem so secretive and ran so far away." Emily looked at the two of them for a while, her brows slightly furrowed.

She always felt like she had missed some big deal.

"Oh this? Come, let me tell you in secret." Lin Feng gestured Emily over with a hooked finger, but was actually secretly observing Rosa Linda.

She didn't rush to stop him, instead feigning indifference, but her twitching lips gave her away.

Ginger is still spicy when old after all.

If it were Emily or Yuna, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep their cool in this situation.

"What's going on? You called me over but aren't saying anything." Emily's rabbit ears stood up tall.

Lin Feng lowered his voice, mouth slightly open: "Actually it's just..."

When the words reached his lips, he stole another glance at Rosa Linda.

She could no longer keep her cool, clenching her fists tightly, glaring at Lin Feng as if questioning why he wasn't keeping his promise.

"Tsk, what was it again? I forgot." Lin Feng knocked on his head, then walked away from Emily's side.

"What's with that? So random." Emily went to Rosa Linda's side and asked in confusion, "Mom, what were you two talking about earlier?"

Rosa Linda didn't even blink, responding very naturally: "We were discussing some archery topics, he wanted me to earn money for him in the future."

Lin Feng rolled a 6 on his own.

Dodging the key point and playing dumb, this guy has some skills.

"That's all?"

"Of course, after getting along for so long, don't you know he's greedy for money?" Rosa Linda let out a scornful laugh.

???

Lin Feng felt like he got slapped in the face for no reason.

This skill of diverting the conversation was pretty good too.

"Greedy? I don't feel that, I only feel he's quite lame." Emily shrugged and looked at the two of them before continuing, "I thought you were discussing something more risqué."

Rosa Linda's delicate body quivered, then she inexplicably laughed: "What are you saying, child? Don't think too much, just focus on traveling."

.

Before the team even entered the valley, they saw stone giants roaming everywhere.

Their bodies were formed from countless rocks of various shapes and sizes. Among them was a rock with a blue rune, which was their weak point.

Legend has it that humans had also invaded Dwarf territory a hundred years ago.

These stone giants were created by Dwarf mages at the time.

They were dispatched to the valley entrance to intercept any human armies attempting to enter the valley.

Although a hundred years had passed, these stone giants had not forgotten their mission, still dutifully guarding around Ulu Valley, using their huge bodies to crush any incoming humans.

Seeing Lin Feng's group, the stone giants became restless. The grinding and clashing of rocks continuously emitted creaking sounds.

"These stone giants are especially tricky to deal with. Unless you grind them into dust, they can't be killed." Lin Feng pointed at the faintly visible blue runes on their bodies, continuing, "But those rocks with runes are worth some money, each one fetching three silver coins."

Yuna silently lowered her head and started counting on her fingers, murmuring: "Three threes nine...three nines twenty seven..."

The times tables Lin Feng taught her, she still hadn't fully memorized.

"Thirty three runes make a gold coin?" She twitched her ears at Lin Feng, seeming to spot another business opportunity.

"Your calculations are right, but I advise you not to try and take advantage of them. They are incredibly troublesome to deal with. Regular adventurers avoid provoking them if possible."

Since they can regenerate endlessly, unless you grind them into dust, they can't be killed.

Also, they are massive in size, even the smallest over two meters tall. Although not very agile, a single hit from them can pound you into mincemeat.

Wait!

Infinite respawn + large numbers + high monster level = massive exp = grinding!

"Yuna, go randomly kill one and let me see."

"On it!"

Wielding her giant sword, she charged at the nearest stone giant. Amidst flying sparks, she neatly dismantled the stone giant in two or three strikes, beautifully slicing off the exposed rune.

Lin Feng glanced at her experience bar, which had increased quite a bit.

"Everyone get ready, we can start grinding experience now." Lin Feng slapped the beastwomen's shoulders.

Emily and Yuna already had experience with this. After a brief warm up, they entered battle stance.

Only Rosa Linda stood there cluelessly holding her bow, looking at Lin Feng in puzzlement.

"What are we doing?" She watched the two beastfolk battling the stone giants, staring at Lin Feng in confusion.

"Leveling up. Every creature in this world has a level, although you don't know yours, I can see them due to certain reasons. The higher your level, the relatively stronger you become. Reaching a certain level, you can even gain skills." Lin Feng quickly explained.

He had told Emily and Yuna about levels before, but they thought he was just rambling nonsense.

The two beastwomen believed strength came solely from diligent practice. Levels were completely made up.

Although their understanding wasn't wrong either.

"I see, so that's how it is." Rosa Linda had a sudden realization.

???

Kindred spirits are hard to find! She actually believed in levels.

"You believe what I said?"

"No."

Lin Feng's face darkened.

You damn...

Why put on that expression if you don't believe it.

Just as Lin Feng was complaining to himself, Emily came over: "I can't level up, even iron arrowheads can't penetrate their defense, and getting the arrows stuck in the rocks is hard to pull out."

This was a bad match up.

Archers had it rough against these things.

Lin Feng glanced at Yuna still battling for her life against several stone giants. She wasn't flustered under their encirclement, watching for chances to strike their runes while evading.

The valiant beast girl looked so dazzling.

"Didn't you learn what I taught you before?" Rosa Linda suddenly spoke up.

Emily touched her cheek, looking a bit embarrassed as she said: "I've practiced for a long time but still can't do it."

Lin Feng listened to their conversation growing more confused.

"What are you two talking about?"

Rosa Linda lifted her longbow, but didn't take any arrows from her quiver.

She chanted an incantation in a low voice. Particles of emerald light gathered in her hand, forming the shape of an arrow.

As she released the bowstring, a stone giant instantly shattered apart.

The terrifying green trajectory lingered for a long time.

Wind magic novice spell "Gale Arrows".

Lin Feng had seen archer adventurers use it before.

Extremely fast speed and strong penetration, although low in power, it was very useful for precisely killing monsters.

"I didn't expect you to know magic too." This was a very pleasant surprise.

Although Rosa Linda's Spirit stat was B-rank from her status screen, since beastfolk who could use magic were so rare, Lin Feng naturally didn't consider that possibility.

Rosa Linda nodded, answering modestly: "Just a little simple stuff."

Immediately after, she sighed: "I wanted to teach my two daughters too, but they couldn't learn it."

With Emily's Spirit talent at only D-rank, it wasn't impossible for her to learn, but she would definitely need to put in a lot more effort.

However, once she learned this spell, her combat power would surely skyrocket.

Lin Feng slapped Emily's butt: "Rabbit, I'm going to make you learn this spell. If you can't learn it today, I'll ravage you tonight."

Emily was a bit speechless: "If you want to feel good just say so, no need to beat around the bush."
