Lin Yi picked up the small white jade bottle and shook out a thumb-sized red pill that smelled fragrant.
【Essence Cultivation Pill】
Grade: Four (Epic)
Effect: Slightly increases spiritual energy upon consumption.
Description: This medicine contains unique energy; its effect significantly diminishes when consumed by individuals above Level 40.
.....
Pill....
There were over a hundred pills in the bottle.
Thinking of the modified cultivation technique, Lin Yi silently put the pills back into the bottle.
Who knew what pitfalls this thing might also hide.
He couldn't be revived if he died, so he would have to let other subjects try it if there was an opportunity.
“My Lord...”
At this moment, a seemingly long-suppressed, resentful voice sounded in his ear.
Lin Yi turned his head, and an incredibly beautiful, slightly flushed, oval-shaped face was almost pressed against his nose.
A familiar fragrance wafted around his nose, and facing those pitiful, blinking big eyes, his heart inexplicably sped up by half a beat.
“You finally finished reading...” Xiang Yi sat cross-legged beside him, having shed her silver armor for a low-cut, light yellow long dress, her damp black hair cascading over her delicate collarbone, adding a touch of softness.
The lingering fragrance from her bath, along with her warm breath, rushed towards him like an excitant, making Lin Yi's heart race.
His gaze lowered slightly.
Beneath the open collar, an astonishingly proud figure added more fuel to his burning blood.
“Last night's great victory... there's no battle today.”
The blush on Xiang Yi's cheeks almost spread to her earlobes, and she whispered like a mosquito, “Repeated battles have made me a bit tired. I... I'm going upstairs to rest...”
After speaking.
Her hands tightly clutched her skirt, her beautiful eyes closed, and she leaned in slightly, actively pressing her red lips against Lin Yi's, a somewhat clumsy but sufficiently passionate initiative.
His lips touched that softness.
Lin Yi's body immediately trembled; the sweet taste mixed with alcohol made him bewildered!
Hiss.....
Did Sister Yi drink too much today? She actually dared to actively ignite the fire!
He didn't care about anything else, his hands skillfully placed on either side of her small waist.
As the battle above grew more intense.
Those demonic hands also became restless, caressing downwards through the long dress...
However, before he could reveal his intentions...
Creak——
A pair of small short legs gently kicked open the main hall door.
“Little pa... uh...”
Lü Xiaoyou had just poked her head in and hadn't finished speaking when she froze upon seeing the scene inside.
The two passionately embracing people were struck by lightning.
Lin Yi's mouth was covered in drool, and he angrily turned his head, fiercely saying, “You better have a good reason...”
“Oh, dear, oh dear.”
Lü Xiaoyou rubbed her messy hair, smacking her lips, “Why are you so fierce with me? I just happened to come tell you that a group of refugee professionals mistakenly entered the territory outside, shouting that they wanted to see you.”
“You two continue kissing, I'm leaving, I'm leaving...”
After speaking, she pulled her head back, extended a small hand to grasp a protruding decoration, and the door clicked shut.
“Your subordinate... is going to sleep.”
Xiang Yi seemed to have sobered up considerably, she hastily got up and fled towards the staircase as if escaping.
“Damn it...”
Lin Yi watched the former disappear around the stair corner, and said with heartbreaking grief, “My little white rabbit flew away...”
“That hateful Xiaoyou, I must punish her by not letting her eat meat for ten days!”
“Huh?” The hall door suddenly opened a crack, and Lü Xiaoyou poked out half her head, muttering listlessly, “That's cruel.”
“Didn't you leave!” Lin Yi's forehead throbbed with veins.
“Seeing that your strength has increased, I wanted to see who was stronger, you or the tigress.” Lü Xiaoyou rolled her eyes and retorted.
“Since you two aren't fighting, then I'm really leaving.”
Bang——
The door closed again.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, tidied his somewhat disheveled clothes, and walked out, casually opening the newly joined group chat channel.
Blue Star professionals forming teams to flee, has the situation already deteriorated to this extent?
“How many people are still alive? After one day, all my classmates died.”
“My other classmates and I are in the desert area; there are very few alien race here, so it's relatively safe for now.”
“All classmates in the northern swamp area of the Monster Mountain Range have lost contact... most likely dead.”
“A considerable number of classmates have also changed professions to become professionals, but they have all lost their lord privileges and cannot be contacted.”
“Currently, apart from the forest area, and areas with harsh environments, they have basically been controlled by the alien race... There's half a month left, what should we do?”
“Classmates in the forest area, if you encounter other Blue Star classmates who have become professionals, remember to tell them to find Lin Yi, or Zhou Yi, Li Xue! We must unite!”
“All the lord classmates we can contact are currently in the group... I hope that after the training ends, at least half of us can return alive.”
“...”
Lin Yi glanced at the number of people in the chat group, and his eyelids twitched violently.
Eight hundred people!
If he remembered correctly, someone had previously estimated that the number of Blue Star lords who descended for this trial was definitely no less than three hundred thousand.
Now, the number of survivors is less than one in a hundred.
It was simply a meat grinder, terrifying to such an extent.
Leaving the main building, Lin Yi whistled, put on his heavy armor, and flew to the city wall with Big White.
“Lord!”
On the city wall, Wang Qianqian, who had been waiting for a long time, respectfully saluted and reported, “The humans below have no ill intentions.”
It had to be said.
The Alert and Agile talent was truly useful for detecting the attitudes of strangers.
“Yes, I know.”
Lin Yi nodded slightly, propped his hands on the parapet, and looked out of the city through the observation slit.
Several hundred meters outside the city wall, numerous Niu Ma were busy tilling the newly covered strong claim land, transporting baskets of demon soil to build fertile fields.
A team of about thirty people huddled together, each with eyes as clear as university students, not daring to act rashly.
Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes noticed that the low wooden wall ahead gradually blurred and transformed into a towering, sturdy city wall.
And upon seeing the figure in heavy armor on the city wall, they immediately shouted excitedly, “Look! That must be Lin Yi!”
“Great Lord, please save us... We've been chased by the alien race all night, there's really nowhere else to escape.”
“Wuwuwu, can you let us set up camp outside the city wall? We promise not to cause any trouble.”
“As long as the Great Lord doesn't mind, we can also fight!”
“.........”
Lin Yi removed the illusion, staring at the group of professionals below, his eyelids twitching.
Damn it....
It was you guys who ruined my good thing, right!
You want to accept my protection?
If I don't peel a layer of skin off you, it'll be hard to vent my “heart's hatred”!
Lin Yi reached out and lifted his visor, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he was about to speak.
Suddenly——
All the guards on the city wall simultaneously turned their heads, their gazes all directed towards the distant southern part of the territory.
“My Lord! An alien race army is approaching!”
...
.....
(Ah... I almost overslept!)
