Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"Mr. Lin Yi?" Xing snapped out of her surprise, quickly sheathing her dagger, and asked instinctively, "Why are you here? Is Qiuqiu having a problem?"

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze from the old salamander, intending not to pay them any attention. The original plan was for a portal to open next to Xing, but who knew she'd have several of her kind with her? Didn't Xing always seem to prefer being alone?

"Never mind, it's not a big deal, just a few random passersby." Lin Yi nodded to Xing, "The ball is fine, but I have something I want to ask you." "It's inconvenient with so many people here, let's find a quiet place to talk?" What he wanted to say was not suitable for his clansmen to know.

Xing nodded without hesitation; she couldn't wait to leave this awkward place.

Xing glanced at Pao behind her, then at the three elders whose expressions shifted repeatedly. She hesitated for a moment, then decided against introducing them to Lin Yi. She could tell Lin Yi clearly had no interest in them. Although not introducing them would be impolite to the clan leader and elders, it was nothing compared to potentially displeasing Lin Yi.

She gently squeezed the paw she had just been holding, gave it a reassuring look, and then turned to Lin Yi: "I have a beach cottage nearby where we can rest. Shall we go there?"

Lin Yi gave an OK sign: "Let's go."

The two turned around, ready to leave, when the clueless old salamander behind them spoke up.

"Wait a minute! Xing! Just wait!"

Su stepped forward, and the three old salamanders' eyes lit up. Xing's unconscious call out of the name made them realize who was standing before them. It was also the first time they had seen Lin Yi's true face, and they were overjoyed. They had originally come to persuade Xing, but by chance, they had run into the very person in question.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, Lin Yi should be an easy person to talk to. Su made this judgment, but still carefully organized his words.

"This must be Mr. Lin Yi?" Su asked. Lin Yi frowned, sighed inwardly, and turned his head.

He really didn't want to deal with these people, but unfortunately, he had come to ask Xing for a small favor, and it would seem impolite to ignore them completely. So he nodded expressionlessly, adopting a "keep away" attitude, hoping they would be more sensible.

"Honorable guest, Mr. Lin Yi, welcome back to our Qi Yuan tribe. I am Su, an elder of the Qi Yuan tribe." Su said, bowing slightly to Lin Yi. Lin Yi thought that strange posture must be unique to the Qi Yuan tribe.

"This is our clan chief, Pao, the granddaughter of the previous clan chief, Takunmo." Pao was pulled by Su and stepped forward somewhat awkwardly with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Lin Yi, thank you for your previous help to Xing and our Qi Yuan clan."

Pao's smile was forced, but her tone was sincere, and you could tell she was genuinely grateful to Lin Yi.

The granddaughter of that old man Takunmo? Lin Yi glanced at her a few more times. He had met Takunmo more than seven hundred years ago. He was, after all, a clan chief, and his eyes were clear, unlike those three old salamanders whose scheming was so obvious. Lin Yi immediately gave a polite, faint smile: "Clan chief, you're too kind. It's just a transaction. If there's nothing else, Xing and I will take our leave."

Pao smiled and nodded, swaying her body slightly.

It wasn't that she was uncomfortable, but Elder Su behind her kept poking her large tail with his cane. She knew what he was trying to imply, but she just wouldn't say it!

Seeing that the clan leader was so useless, Su glared at her angrily, then put on a bitter and resentful look and said to Lin Yi, "Mr. Lin Yi, please wait."

A hint of impatience appeared between Lin Yi's brows: "Is there anything else?"

Elder Su shuddered, a sense of fear creeping into his heart, but thinking of the future of his tribe, he gritted his teeth and mustered his courage: "Mr. Lin Yi, to be honest, our Qi Yuan tribe is now heading step by step toward extinction. We don't know why, but we have almost completely lost all our reproductive abilities."

"We've tried everything to no avail. Last time you helped us escape our misery, this time... we wonder if you... could also show us a way out? Even the slightest hope, our entire clan is willing to pay any price."

As he spoke, Su bowed deeply, and the other two elders also bowed at the same time.

Pao, standing to the side, put on a mask of pain. She'd said it, she'd said it anyway. Based on Xing's previous description of Lin Yi's personality, he was probably already angry, right?

However, Lin Yi wasn't angry. He could sense the calculation and worry flickering in the eyes of the three old salamanders. Their starting point was also for the continuation of their race, and to be honest, they hadn't offended him; he wasn't some unreasonable, terrifying being.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi did not have the ability to do what Su mentioned.

So he chose to tell the truth: "Elders, I have no choice, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he turned around again and gestured for Xing to quickly lead the way and leave.

Seeing that Lin Yi was about to leave again, Elder Su became anxious. "Mr. Lin Yi! We don't expect your help for free. As long as you can point us in the right direction, or... state your conditions, we will do our best to meet them! Xing... Xing and you have a good relationship, so please consider..."

"Holy crap!" Lin Yi quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, his sixth sense subtly reminding him that if he didn't stop him, this old salamander would say something outrageous.

"Xing and I have a transactional relationship, nothing particularly pretentious, don't bring that up." Lin Yi frowned. "I don't like repeating myself, my meaning is very clear: I don't have the ability to solve your reproduction problem, understand?"

After saying that, Lin Yi lifted his foot and continued walking.

"Can!"

hum!

The word had barely left his lips when Lin Yi, without pausing, slightly turned his head, and an indescribable pressure instantly descended upon the beach. The beach trembled, and the calm sea became turbulent. High above, clouds gathered, and lightning flashed, as if brewing a terrifying storm.

The three elders felt their breathing become difficult in an instant, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

Fortunately, this scene lasted only three seconds before receding like the tide and disappearing without a trace.

The beach and sea returned to calm, and the sea breeze continued to blow, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

The three elders were horrified and dared not say another word. Just now, they had even seen the Ancestral Salamander beckoning to them!

Although Pao wasn't treated deliberately and didn't experience any "pressure," the changes in scenery were real, and look at the three old salamanders in front of her, panting heavily... She stepped forward, grabbed Su's arm, and shook her head silently.

That was a warning; Lin Yi was clearly getting annoyed by their blocking him. If they continued to block him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Xing was somewhat surprised, but he found it perfectly normal. How could someone not have the ability to make the Celestial Venerable look like a clown in front of him?

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin Yi, I'm sorry you had to see this..." Xing's face showed some guilt and a slight blush.

The elder had terrified her when he mentioned their relationship, thinking he was about to say something inappropriate. Luckily, he didn't, otherwise, things probably wouldn't have ended with just a tremor on the beach and a swirl of clouds.
