"Are you okay? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Su Kuangkuan hurriedly stepped forward to check on the other person’s condition. Fortunately, they had arrived just in time; the Shadow Demon hadn’t had the chance to act yet. The person was only a bit frightened and was not seriously harmed.

Having killed the monster, all three in the field, including two "powerful" Transcendents, involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unexpectedly, this time’s mission wasn’t a Wandering Spirit, but a Level 1 Shadow Demon. Yet they are all energy body monsters, sharing many similarities. Before being clearly seen, it’s not surprising that it was mistaken for a Wandering Spirit."

Eva looked at the cluster of Little Light Ball on the ground, the corpse of the Shadow Demon, and said:

"Anyway, this time’s mission should be considered completed, right? This thing had already descended a while ago, hiding underground, waiting until midnight when most street lights went out to emerge..."

The two of them finally understood why they couldn’t find traces of the Alien Species earlier and also realized the reason why this Shadow Demon had to wait until midnight to appear.

Su Kuangkuan was also delighted; this time truly marked her making a major contribution. Surely Uncle Lu must have seen her performance just now. With the success of this mission, her brother and father probably wouldn’t stop them from going on missions outside next time.

"Um... Thank you, beautiful ladies, for saving me. Are you Awakeners of the Star Alliance? You were really awesome just then! Can I add you both on Starry Community?"

The baseball cap person approached and expressed gratitude to the two.

As the person encountering the Shadow Demon, no one felt more relieved at their arrival than him, since they had saved his life. What could be more important than a life in this world? If he could use this opportunity to befriend these two Transcendents, perhaps his life could take a completely different path.

Thinking this, the baseball cap person’s heart couldn’t help but feel quite joyful.

In the crisis of encountering a monster, being saved by two beautiful girls with Extraordinary Power and then becoming friends with them. Imagine one or even both of them having an amazing story with him, and eventually discovering he had a hidden super Constitution, aiding him on his path to cultivation, leading him upwards in life.

That’s how novels write it.

With the existence of Starry Community now and the current environment of Alien Species’ arrival, various online novels thriving in Hua Xia Country have also become popular worldwide. This baseball cap guy is one of its loyal readers and naturally knows these tropes well. He is undoubtedly a protagonist template.

Originally, Eva was thinking of how to comfort the other person’s mood. Unexpectedly, the person had already recovered, even showing a cheeky smile, leaving one to wonder what he was thinking.

Su Kuangkuan, on the other hand, kept frowning as if pondering something.

"What’s wrong, Kuangkuan?"

"It’s odd, if this monster was hiding underground all along, my Spirit-detecting Compass should have been able to detect it. Brother said the compass has an effective detection range of over ten kilometers, capable of probing shallow surface conditions, how could this be..."

As she spoke, a Black Shadow suddenly flashed from the surrounding shadows, with sharp claws abruptly striking at her.

The claws came too quickly without warning, leaving Su Kuangkuan unable to react, hitting her directly in the back, causing her body to tilt forward.

"Kuangkuan!"

Eva, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock.

The baseball cap person was dumbfounded. Despite the incident occurring, his mind was still blank, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

It was not until Su Kuangkuan’s body slumped forward with a "thud" on the ground that he barely snapped back to reality.

On the girl’s back, the white Daring Clothes had been torn, exposing a light yellow tank top underneath.

The monster’s sneak attack was powerful, breaking through the defensive power of the Daring Clothes directly, but was blocked by another garment worn by Su Kuangkuan underneath.

The Daring Clothes were not even of the First Order, not sourced from the gang’s store but sewn as low-cost versions for the Three Great Sanctuaries’ reserve members. Although using a bit of Dark Spiritual Material, its defensive power was subpar. It was normal for it to be breached by the monster with one strike.

Luckily, Su Kuangkuan wasn’t injured, as she wore a piece of close-fitting soft armor gifted to her by Su Changqing inside. It was made with Second Level Dark Spiritual Material, boasting remarkable defensive ability, far surpassing the ordinary Daring Clothes.

The monster, having succeeded in its sneak attack, was about to continue its pursuit but was obstructed by Eva.

Although Eva and Su Kuangkuan were rookie Dark Spirits, this didn’t mean they lacked experience in handling such scenarios. They’ve participated in plenty of training sessions run by the organization, where similar monsters conducted surprise attacks, preparing them with some experience to counter. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Eva flipped her wrist, and the held silver Longsword instantly slashed out, directly cutting into the body of the sneaking monster.
