Level Up in Earth Evolution

"Sister Li, what are you talking about? Isn't Brother Li giving good things like snacks and sweets?" Alice asked with a confused face, as she didn't hear the mention of it.

She did hear Li Xin saying everything, but she was only focused on finding the good thing in her words. But after not hearing the mention, she ignored comprehending the meaning of the other words and asked directly, making Li Xin feel speechless.

Li Wei was also the same, but he praised her in his mind for her ignorance as he replied.

"Alice, don't listen to her nonsense. Also, can you tell me why you are here?" he asked, even though he could guess the reason, and it was as he expected.

"Brother Li, didn't you ask me to come because of some good thing?" Alice asked with a pout, wondering if she would get her snacks or not.

Watching her like this, Li Wei shook his head with a sigh and looked at Li Xin with irritation, who averted her gaze.

"Alice, if I wanted to call you here, I would've said so when I was outside, and there is no need for secrecy through my troublesome little sister who will make things difficult for me," Li Wei replied, not knowing what to do with Li Xin.

It has been years since she started to interact with others and have fun with them, but sometimes she was too childish. The same could be said for him, but he knows the bounds of what to do and not to do, unlike Li Xin, who does few things without considering the impact.

Thinking of this, he decided to warn her later because he can tolerate her childishness, but it couldn't be said for others if she did something serious with a joke. They would not say anything, but it would definitely create a gap between them.

As he thought of this, Li Xin pouted at him with a glare for being called troublesome, while Alice did the same too but for a different reason.

"Brother Li, I don't care about excuses. You have to give me some good things for making me come here, also for Elva too who is waiting after me," Alice stated with a cold look, making Li Wei amused.

'Do you want food that much? Haven't you eaten a meal just a while ago?' he muttered inwardly with a sigh, clearly knowing what she wanted.

But he agreed with a nod.

"Okay, I will give a treat to everyone, so let's go out first," he replied, casting a glare at Li Xin, who responded by sticking her tongue out with irritation.

But he didn't care too much and exited the cave with Alice, who was asking what kind of treat it would be.

Of course, Li Wei didn't answer as he didn't even know himself and was still considering this when he arrived outside to see Elva and the others waiting for them.

"Elva, look, Brother Li is bullying us and didn't plan to give us a treat," Alice complained with resentment, as she failed to know what kind of things she was going to eat.

Li Wei became speechless at this, while Elva shook her head with a sigh.

"Alice, don't trouble Brother Li," she stated with a strict look and looked at Li Wei.

"Brother Li, I am sorry for her stupidity. She didn't even understand Sister Li was creating trouble for you on purpose and really thought you are treating us," she apologized with a sigh, as she already guessed what Li Xin is doing.

But it was only a guess because of this; she didn't say anything when Li Xin took Alice inside and only confirmed when Alice came out with a grumpy look.

"Elva, there is no need to apologize. I did say I will be treating, but Alice kept insisting that she wants to know what it will be," Li Wei replied, making Elva a little stunned.

But before she could reply, Lily interjected suddenly with a worried look.

"Brother Li, is it okay for a snowman to walk on its own, and its hand glowing red like it is preparing to attack?" she asked, making Li Wei and others stunned.

But it didn't take them much time to understand what she was saying, and they all turned towards Irene's direction where she stood with an excited face and stars in her eyes like a child as she looked at the snowman about the height of a two-story building.

It seemed to be normal, like nothing, but its eyes were glowing blue, and there were some kinds of runes glowing in it. The same was for the hand that was glowing red as it absorbed the MP from the environment getting ready to shoot.

Observing this, Irene beamed happily.

"My snow knight, go destroy everything in your path," she commanded, pointing forward at the big boulder a little distance away.

Hearing her, the snowman didn't hesitate and started to gather more MP as his hand glowed red like lava with the sound of air buzzing loudly.

Watching this, Li Wei's expression changed.

"Irene, stop it now! Don't let it attack," he shouted as he moved forward with all speed trying to stop it.

But it was already late as the snowman finished gathering MP, and with a sonic boom, it unleashed a red beam of fire that travelled at high speed, destroying anything in its way before finally hitting the big boulder.

What followed after was an intense stinging light that covered the boulder, destroying it into smithereens before creating a loud explosion and a shockwave that headed towards them with debris.

"Fuck," Li Wei cursed loudly as he was just a second late to stop the snowman because he wasn't prepared to use any MP.

Nevertheless, he didn't waste any time and grabbed Irene, who was beside him, before using shadow step to arrive in front of Li Xin and others.

"Arcane Shield!" he shouted, directly using high amount of MP and creating a big powerful shield to protect everyone from the aftermath.

However, he forgot to protect one thing.

"No! My Snow Knight!" Irene shouted with a frantic look, and before Li Wei could say anything, she disappeared from her place.

But there was no time to care about her as the shockwaves and debris finally hit the arcane shield, weakening it.

"Damn, what level of attack was that?" Li Wei cursed, watching this because he used 3,000 MP into the shield that can defend against the attack of level 50 monsters for ten minutes.

However, with just debris and the shockwave of the explosion, the shield was weakening rapidly. Nevertheless, it only continued for a few more seconds before the explosion calmed down, leaving behind a large cloud of smoke that was visible from Valeria City.

But Li Wei didn't care about that and looked behind with worry.

"Are you guys alright?" he inquired, even though he could see everyone was unharmed.

"Brother, you don't need to worry about us. We are all safe, but it couldn't be said for that and might be you in the future," Li Xin replied with an uncertain look, pointing at Irene.

She was unscathed, but not her snow knight, which was killed by shockwaves and debris very ruthlessly as its body was dismembered into dozens of parts.

Looking at her snow knight's condition, Irene clenched her fists in anger and sadness.

"Don't worry, my snow knight, I will avenge you," she swore with a bloodthirsty look, giving Li Wei chills for some reason.

'What the heck! Don't tell me I am going to take the blame for it?' he thought, cursing again when suddenly he sensed the presence of someone else.

"Everyone, be careful, someone is here," he reminded and looked at the place of the explosion where a middle-aged man stood on the ground with fully equipped white holy armor.

Watching the man, Li Wei could only think of him as a paladin who came here to search for Irene.

As he thought of this, he turned towards Irene, who was done collecting the remains of her snow knight, and also glanced at the middle-aged man who kept observing the explosion site.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting," the middle-aged man started to laugh suddenly, and before Li Wei and others could comprehend, he was already in front of Irene, looking at her deeply with a smile.

"Priestess Irene, is that you?" he asked directly, making everyone's hearts tighten except Irene, who replied with a sulky look.

"Old man, are you blind or what? Can't you see I am not the person you are finding? Also, I am upset now, so you better stop asking me questions," Irene stated in a cold tone as she walked back towards Li Wei and them.

While the middle-aged man became stunned watching her like this, he couldn't do anything as he was just guessing because her bloodthirstiness was strong enough to attract his attention.

However, looking at upset Irene, who was in Li Xin's appearance, the man gave up on the thought to ask her any questions and turned towards Li Wei.

"Boy, I want to talk alone with you," the middle-aged man stated suddenly, making Li Wei and others stunned, even Irene, who knew him.
