29 In the face of this kind of pleasure (1/2)

She drops to the ground with her closed eyes. A painful cry comes out of her mouth. Her bones are healing, but it doesn't hurt any less. The small green crystal gleam in her hand. She inhales and exhales as the bones are reformed in her body.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have received 10 points for defeating a rank 3 monster. Your total points are 576.]

”...”

She doesn't give a damn about points. She lies down with her arms and legs spread wide. She doesn't want to move.

[System: Dear Host, get a grip. I don't want to die here.]

”What nonsense are you uttering?” She hasn't noticed that more monsters are coming toward her. Their ranks ranging from zero to five. If she gets caught, only a miracle can save her.

[System: Dear Host, eat the crystal and use it to increase the restoration speed. More are coming.]

She sits up with a jolt. She can also hear the sound of running and roaring. The scent of more monsters. They will be here in a few minutes. Killing one nearly got her killed. If she meets more than one at the same time, she wouldn't even know how she died.

[System: DEAR HOST! EAT IT!]

She swallows the crystal as if it's a bitter pill. The green crystal spreads inside. The system directs all the energy into her restoration. She needs to run as soon as possible.

[Restoration complete!]

The pain is gone. She can straighten her back now. She hurries on her feet to run. She dashes into the darkness and slams a cold wall, falling backward. A pale arm reaches out and grabs her waist before she could land on her arse.

Huang Qiuyan's blood turns cold as ice when she looks at the face of the man.
