Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of spearmen moved through the forest, making it difficult to conceal their tracks.
The slightest rustle of leaves.
Would send animal groups miles away retreating.
Along the way.
Lin Yi only encountered a few birds and poisonous insects, and did not encounter any battles.
On the contrary.
He actually found the scenery he was currently seeing very beautiful.
For example.
The beautiful figure leading the way for him.
Her long, fair legs were straight and rounded, her sexy slender waist…
The swaying was truly enjoyable.
“My Lord.”
Xiang Yi pushed aside a branch blocking her way, then suddenly turned her head, scrutinized Lin Yi up and down, and said seriously, “If you want to look, I can go back and let you admire it.”
“However, when marching, you must concentrate!”
“After all, you still owe me money. If you end up dead in the wilderness, who will I collect the debt from?”
Lin Yi rubbed his nose, shifted his gaze away from her, and coughed twice, saying, “Understood, understood. Actually, I was also observing the situation ahead just now.”
Nearly four hours had passed since their departure.
According to Wang Qianqian’s description.
If it weren't for Lin Yi, this dead weight with single-digit combat power.
The team would have already reached their destination.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Xiang Yi’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she turned to look straight ahead.
“Lord!”
A loli in a tight animal-skin outfit galloped from afar.
Upon closer inspection.
The little girl was extremely fast, yet her movements were light.
It was clearly a dense jungle, yet not a single leaf touched her clothes, like a free spirit in the jungle.
In the blink of an eye.
She arrived in front of Lin Yi and said sweetly, “That guy’s residency place is ahead. He doesn’t seem to have left yet. Should we let Sister Xiang Yi go take a look first?”
They’ve arrived!
Lin Yi’s spirits lifted!
Damn it, who knew how he had endured this journey.
Even with the territory attribute bonus.
Such a long distance, a continuous rush, his legs were almost unable to lift.
“I must get a mount!”
Lin Yi thought to himself.
But the top priority was to recruit that mysterious existence first.
Thinking of this.
He pondered for a moment, then instructed everyone, “Rest for fifteen minutes.”
The light crystal was something he was determined to get this time.
If it was an existence that even Xiang Yi couldn't face, scouting or not wouldn't make much difference.
After a while.
After resting, everyone tightly surrounded Lin Yi.
The strongest, Xiang Yi and Wang Qianqian, were at the front and back, echoing each other.
The entire team slowly advanced towards the target point.
“This is…”
After advancing less than 500 meters, Lin Yi felt the surrounding air become soft, with a familiar feeling of returning to his territory.
Gradually.
As the team delved deeper.
The surrounding plants also gradually changed from green to white, forming an indistinguishable gradient color band.
At the same time.
An ethereal pressure, like an invisible hand, slowly gripped the team.
“My Lord!”
It was at this moment that a sharp glint burst from Xiang Yi’s beautiful eyes.
The casual teasing expression she had earlier towards Lin Yi completely vanished.
She leaned her upper body forward, gripping the Overlord Spear tightly, her entire being like a bow ready to fire.
Her body trembled slightly with excitement.
“Hehehe!”
“My Lord, be careful yourself.”
“It seems to be a rather strong fellow.”
After speaking, a powerful energy vortex shot out from her body.
Amidst the crowd.
Lin Yi cast his gaze forward.
He didn't know when.
A slender figure appeared in mid-air.
When he clearly saw her appearance, his nostrils flared, and he subconsciously said, “Indeed, I should be careful…”
“Too alluring…”
He saw.
The woman in the air was only wearing a thin, one-piece lace dress.
Rather than a dress.
It was somewhat similar to a nightgown.
Besides that.
There were also black and white shackles wrapped around her.
The woman had a full figure, and a voluptuous physique.
To say she was slender and delicate, yet she also had a slight plumpness.
But it made her look even more comfortable.
That elusive dignity was faintly discernible, constantly teasing Lin Yi’s nerves.
However.
What was most eye-catching was the pair of pure white wings behind her, large enough to envelop her entire body.
On the wings.
Each feather subtly rose and fell as if breathing, emanating a sacred light.
Making one unwilling to profane her.
“Lord, can you see that mysterious creature?”
Wang Qianqian’s eyes widened, as if she wanted to see through the white light in mid-air.
“No… you guys can’t see her?”
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and turned to find that apart from himself, it seemed no one else had seen the winged woman.
“The aura of the Pure Land…”
The woman in mid-air suddenly spoke, her long, drawn-out voice making people feel sleepy.
“Strange Lord, what brings you here?”
As the voice fell.
The other party's information panel also appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.
【Fallen Archangel Seraphia (Sister Ailina)】
Race: Half-Angel
Aptitude: Immortal (Incomplete)
Level: 40
Attributes: ???
Skills: ???
Talents: ???
Description: A Fallen Angel, drawn by an unknown force, descended from the Kingdom of Light and possessed Sister Ailina. Due to some special reason, their souls merged into one.
Status: Recruitble in the wild
...
Aside from the level, aptitude, and name, the question marks below were very consistent with the clichéd novels Lin Yi used to read.
However.
Even with just this simple intelligence, Lin Yi understood that the other party’s identity was not simple.
Taking a deep breath, he squeezed out of the crowd and stood beside Xiang Yi.
“I am here to invite you to join my territory.”
“Serve you…” ‘Seraphia’ slowly opened her eyes, her silver-white pupils looking at Lin Yi, and her long voice continued,
“The prophecy of the God-King…”
“The chains of fate entwine around you.”
“The historical traces covered by darkness will reappear in your hands.”
“The gods will once again recall the fear of being dominated by prohibition.”
“Lord…”
“I can serve you, but I need an item.”
Lin Yi hadn't recovered from her rambling words yet.
He was still wondering how to get the other party to join his territory and what price he would have to pay.
Unexpectedly, ‘Seraphia’ went straight to the point after her opening remarks.
“What is it?” Lin Yi pressed.
“A Light-element profession scroll.”
‘Seraphia’s eyes grew brighter, almost incandescent, “Without this item, even if you are accompanied by the chains of fate, I cannot serve you.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi was delighted.
“Isn’t this a coincidence!”
He took out a white scroll from his inner pocket, a smile playing on his lips, “I happen to have one here.”
He had saved the profession scroll for several days, and before leaving, he seemed to have a premonition and brought it with him.
Now it came in handy.
“Your Majesty, the God-King…”
“Seraphia is about to return to your embrace…”
‘Seraphia’ gently flapped her pure white wings, her silver-white eyes visibly growing excited.
She extended her fair hand.
Whoosh!
The scroll in Lin Yi's hand flew towards her uncontrollably.
“Light protects all around, with my power, unlock the shackles!”
‘Seraphia’ crushed the scroll.
Countless rays of light scattered from her hand.
The black and white chains on her body receded rapidly like a tide.
After a moment.
The freed ‘Seraphia’ slowly landed on the ground, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and said devoutly:
“Thank you, Archangel.”
“May the Holy Light protect you!”
“Ailina will follow my Lord to illuminate the darkness!”
After speaking.
When she opened her eyes again.
The incandescent light in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a pair of azure blue eyes.
At the same time.
A prompt from his will appeared in Lin Yi's mind again.
【Congratulations, the target’s favorability meets the requirements.】
【Reputation - 600】
【You have successfully recruited the wild Immortal-grade hero 【Sister Ailina】!】
Immediately after.
A looping “Server-wide” announcement sounded again.
【Congratulations to Human Lord Lin Yi for completing the rare hidden quest “Trapped Sister” and successfully recruiting the hero “Sister Ailina”, earning a Reputation reward of x500!】
