Chapter 34, Beneath the Friendly Exterior Lies...

Remains, at the bottom of the basin.

Lin Ran held Yunzhu in her arms, rubbing her throbbing temples. The amount of information in this inheritance was truly immense.

However, the skill panel did not include the extraordinary skills from the inheritance, seemingly indicating that he did not think this inheritance was suitable for him.

Lin Ran glanced at the contents of the inheritance and found that it was indeed not suitable for him.

The inheritance is fire-attributed, but because the inheritor is a cat-person, the foundation of the technique is based on the cat-person race. Cat-people and humans look the same, but in reality, they are very different.

To use this system of inheritance, you need to gradually transform yourself into a cat-person by following its methods.

Alternatively, one could fundamentally change the cultivation method, a difficulty equivalent to breaking through to the extraordinary level.

Therefore, apart from humans who have decided not to be human, only cat people are suitable for cultivation.

Lin Ran took out a fire crystal and handed it to Yun Zhu, and also took out one to restore her strength.

Yunzhu lay there softly, and after receiving the fire crystal, she arched her chest and hugged it even tighter.

Feng Wuhen, who was on guard duty on the perimeter, suddenly appeared. His expression was slightly serious as he glanced at Yunzhu.

"Captain, alien races are approaching. There are many of them; they are cat people and elves."

"Bring Yan Lingfei back," Lin Ran said.

Feng Wuhen left.

Lin Ran patted Yun Zhu, and she obediently stood up, staring intently at Lin Ran, her golden eyes reflecting Lin Ran's face.

"What do you think?" Lin Ran asked Yun Zhu.

"Whatever Brother Lin thinks, I'll think the same way."

"You seem different from before?" Lin Ran wondered, feeling that something must have happened. He wasn't that charming to make this catgirl do this.

"Brother Lin, I'll listen to you." Yunzhu stepped forward and gently hugged Lin Ran, nuzzling his chin.

Lin Ran was even more puzzled, wondering what Yun Zhu was trying to express.

At this moment, Yan Lingfei and Feng Wuhen arrived, followed closely by a group of elves and cat people.

Lin Ran put aside her doubts for the time being, planning to ask again when she returned to the small world.

"Captain, they've all come. They must be here for the inheritance," Yan Lingfei said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll negotiate in a bit. Be prepared to fight at any time." Lin Ran nodded slightly.

"good!"

Yan Lingfei's eyes lit up; she liked Lin Ran's personality of fighting back if she disagreed.

Feng Wuhen didn't speak, but grabbed a wisp of pure white wind and started filing his nails.

Soon, the elves and cat people arrived.

The leader of the elves was an acquaintance, Trist.

The leader of the cat-people was also an acquaintance, Gao Ming, from the same class!

Lin Ran was slightly surprised, not expecting Gao Ming to also enter this ruin.

Trist glanced around, her gaze finally settling on Yunzhu, before she greeted Lin Ran.

"We meet again, Lin Ran."

"Ms. Trist, it's been a long time." Lin Ran nodded.

"I remember you don't seem to like beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point: where is the legacy?" Trist said.

"The legacy is only suitable for the cat people, and it is not compatible with the elves."

"So, Gao Ming is here too."

Triss smiled sweetly and gestured to Gao Ming beside her.

Lin Ran understood; the two of them had gotten together.

He stroked his chin and used his wind-elemental energy to transmit a message to Yunzhu.

"Yunzhu, Gaoming is your clansman, you should at least offer your opinion."

"Hmm... I don't know it," Yunzhu replied, its tail rubbing against Lin Ran's hand.

Lin Ran nodded and said to Gao Ming.

"The legacy is in my hands. What are you willing to trade for it?"

"The Cat People and the Humans have established diplomatic relations. In view of the principle of friendship between the two races, the heritage belonging to the Cat People should be returned to the Cat People. Afterwards, the elders will conduct relevant negotiations with the Humans."

Gao Ming smiled and glanced at Yun Zhu's reaction. He was puzzled, but he didn't ask.

"That makes sense. Let's talk about it after we leave the ruins," Lin Ran agreed.

Gao Ming's face stiffened, and he said,

"Unexpected things might happen after leaving the ruins. It's safer for you to entrust yourself to me now and be taken back to the cat people by me."

"...So, you mean you want to get this inheritance for free?" Lin Ran stroked his chin, smiling brightly.

Gao Ming naturally refused.

"Of course not. It's just that I brought him back to the Cat-People tribe ahead of time. I believe the Human Alliance will certainly not lack the appropriate recognition for Lin. This is also a testament to the friendship between the two races..."

"Stop. I don't want to waste any more words with you. If you want the legacy to be passed down, you have to pay the corresponding price."

Lin Ran rudely interrupted Gao Ming, and her smile vanished.

Gao Ming's smile vanished.

"Lin, this is not the human race's homeland. I hope you will think this over carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cat-people immediately dispersed to the surrounding area, encircling the four people in the center.

Lin Ran looked calmly at Trist.

"How much did he pay you?"

"Give me a share after you receive the inheritance," Trist said with a smile.

Gao Ming's face darkened.

"Besides the extraordinary inheritance of the cat people, there is also a Shadow Clan inheritance in the ruins. I will go there soon, and if I can get it, I will share one with you," Lin Ran said.

"Show your strength," Trist said without any hesitation.

Gao Ming's expression darkened further.

Lin Ran nodded and said no more.

"Cloud Bamboo".

"Brother Lin, I'm fine, they can't catch me," Yunzhu said.

"it is good."

Lin Ran twisted her neck and smiled.

The next moment, a cat-man's head flew up without warning, his expression still wary, showing no remorse for his death.

Yan Lingfei reacted quickly, transforming into a crimson fire spirit and slamming into a cat-man, instantly shattering him into pieces.

With a wave of his arm, Feng Wuhen unleashed a pure white blade of energy that instantly shredded a cat-man.

Gao Ming reacted a little too slowly and rushed towards Lin Ran.

"kill!"

Lin Ran looked at Gao Ming and activated her pupil technique: Instant Slash.

boom!

A layer of golden light emanated from Gao Ming's body, blocking the instant slash, but the golden light was also broken.

Gao Ming remained expressionless as a full-body armor of earthen yellow material appeared on his body. His hands tripled in size, transforming into the shape of wild beast claws, and slashed down towards the front.

Lin Ran's body trembled, and five layers of defense—Dragon Scale Armor, Fire Spirit Shield, Wind Spirit Shield, Dark Spirit Shield, and Earth Spirit Shield—instantly appeared. He clenched his right fist and swung it forward.

Roar!

The red dragon roared as it charged toward Gaoming, stirring up countless clods of earth and turning the area into a sandstorm.

Gao Ming's sharp claws tore through the flying sand and landed on Lin Ran, shattering the outermost wind spirit shield with a bang, but had almost no effect on the inner fire spirit shield.

The red dragon formed from the swirling thunder struck his chest at the same time.

With a bang, Gao Ming's chest armor shattered completely, and he was sent flying straight away.

Lin Ran moved with her feet, transforming into a blood shadow to catch up with Gao Ming, and unleashed another whirlwind of lightning at its head from above.

Gao Ming only had time to raise his arms in front of him and summon a layer of illusory armor before he was struck by the whirlwind lightning.

boom!

The armor shattered, the arms broke off, and the remaining force struck Gao Ming's face, slamming his entire head into the ground.

Lin Ran pulled back with his left hand, causing the dragon scales on his body to move slightly, and then unleashed a powerful whirlwind attack with his left hand.
