Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

The warship's speed at full power is astonishing.

The mountain pass where the missing team was stationed was only a little over 200 kilometers away.

Lin Yu's team arrived in less than five minutes aboard the warship.

Looking out the porthole, Lin Yu saw the battle situation below.

It was a long, narrow valley with steep cliffs on both sides and only a narrow passage in the middle.

At the entrance to the valley, a group of reddish-brown figures were launching a frenzied attack—these were the troops sent by the Flame Leopard Clan to block them.

They look like cheetahs, but are larger than humans, covered in dark red scales, with thick limbs and sharp claws and teeth.

What's most striking are their eyes—flames burn within their vertical pupils, making them look exceptionally ferocious.

At this moment, more than two hundred Flame Leopard warriors are charging into the mountain pass.

Worse still, they seem to be casting some kind of large-scale rune array.

The rock walls on both sides of the valley are cracking and falling, and the originally narrow passage is being widened.

Deep in the mountain pass, eight human soldiers are desperately defending their territory.

They relied on a huge rock and used various skills to block the attack of the Flame Leopard Clan.

But the enemy outnumbered them too much, and their defenses were crumbling.

A man who appeared to be the team leader, covered in blood, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Brothers! Hold on! Reinforcements will come!"

A young soldier nearby cried, "Captain, all communications are down, nobody knows we're here..."

The captain paused for a second, then said:

"Then let's fight to the very end! When they charge in, we'll detonate the Source Crystal! We'll take them all down with us!"

The other seven people all had a resolute look in their eyes.

"Fine! Even if it means dying together with these beasts, we can't let them get away with it!"

"I'll take a few of them down with me even if I die!"

"I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"

Just then—

boom!!!

A pale blue beam of energy descended from the sky, striking precisely the center of the Flame Leopard Clan's formation!

In the massive explosion and flames, more than a dozen Flame Leopard Clan members were blasted away!

Everyone was stunned.

The captain looked up and saw a silver-white warship hovering in mid-air.

"What is that...?"

The young soldier stammered, "Fly...spaceship?"

"Is it human? Or some other race?"

"have no idea......"

On the warship.

Lin Yu withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Hui.

"Hui'er, let your children go downstairs and play."

Lin Hui's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together.

A pale blue light poured out from her palm.

【Eternal Workshop】, in full swing!

The next second—

Fifty mechanical hounds burst forth from the void!

Twenty floating cannons were arrayed in a matrix in mid-air!

Ten heavily armored fortresses rose from the edge of the battlefield!

More than two hundred Flame Leopard warriors were instantly surrounded!

Lin Ya had already rushed to the hatch and raised her hand cannon.

"Firepower coverage!"

The terrifying firepower of thirty shells of various types per second instantly covered the entire battlefield!

The explosion was deafening, and flames shot into the sky!

Lin Duo stood beside her, took a deep breath, and raised her hand.

"The field of smuggling."

An invisible wave spread out, enveloping all the Flame Leopard Clan members.

The leading elder of the Flame Leopard Clan was preparing to unleash a large-scale fire spell when he suddenly noticed—

The skill is gone.

It wasn't interrupted; it simply disappeared.

It paused for half a second, then realized that the fire energy it had just gathered was flying towards its warrior!

"boom!"

More than a dozen more Flame Leopard warriors were blown away.

Lin Duo whispered, "I'm sorry... Duo'er didn't mean to..."

Vera's voice came over the ship's loudspeaker: "Main guns fully charged. Fire."

A golden beam of light, ten times thicker than the secondary cannon, shot out from the bow of the ship!

Wherever the beam of light passed, the Flame Leopard Clan warriors were instantly vaporized, leaving not even ashes!

three minutes.

In just three minutes.

More than two hundred Flame Leopard Clan warriors were wiped out.

The leading elder was blasted to smithereens by Lin Ya's final shot.

After the smoke cleared, the battlefield was silent.

Deep within the mountain pass, the eight human soldiers all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.

The young soldier murmured, "Is this... over?"

The captain swallowed hard. "It seems... we're finished..."

Another soldier asked, "What are those mechanical constructs? Whose are they?"

"I don't know... but they're definitely here to rescue us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the warship slowly descended.

The hatch opened.

Lin Yu, carrying the Taotie, led the beast girls out.

The eight soldiers instinctively gripped their weapons tighter and watched them warily.

Then, they saw two familiar figures emerge from behind Lin Yu.

Zhang Qiang and Li Yong.

"team leader!"

Zhang Qiang ran over and hugged the captain, who was covered in blood.

"Captain! We're back!"

The captain was stunned, and then his eyes instantly reddened.

"Xiao Li! Xiao Zhang! Are you alright?!"

Li Yong wiped away his tears: "It's alright! Comrade Lin Yu saved us!"

The captain looked at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude and confusion.

"Comrade Lin Yu? You are...?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Wujiang City, Lin Yu."

The captain paused for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"Lin Yu?! That national champion Lin Yu?!"

The soldiers behind him also realized what was happening.

"Holy crap! It's Lin Yu!"

"The one who took down the headquarters of the supernatural abilities in Japan!"

"That one with dragons and taotie!"

"No wonder he's so fierce!"

The captain was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he quickly saluted.

"Wang Tiezhu, captain of the third collection team of the border defense forces, thanks Comrade Lin Yu for saving his life!"

Lin Yu waved her hand: "No need to be polite, we're all compatriots."

Wang Tiezhu's eyes reddened again.

He glanced at the corpses of the Flame Leopard Clan scattered on the ground, then at the mechanical hounds cleaning up the battlefield, and took a deep breath.

"Comrade Lin Yu, your strength... is terrifying."

Lin Yu smiled but didn't reply.

Lin Hui ran over, looked up at him with her little face, and asked in her childish voice, "Uncle, are you hurt?"

"We have healing potions here!"

Wang Tiezhu's heart melted when he looked at the adorable little dragon girl.

"No, it's alright, Uncle is fine..."

Lin Hui nodded and ran back to help the mechanical hounds collect their spoils.

......

It took ten minutes to clean up the battlefield.

More than two hundred source crystals were found on the corpse of the Flame Leopard Clan elder.

Including the ones he found from the Eagle Clan and the other alien races along the way, Lin Yu now has nearly three hundred source crystals in his possession.

At the same time, they also found more than 200 source crystals that had been stolen by the Flame Leopard Clan.

Looking at the source crystals, Wang Tiezhu sighed, "This batch of source crystals was originally meant for us to mine, but we never expected it would end up benefiting the Flame Leopard Clan."

"Fortunately, Comrade Lin Yu helped us get it back."

Lin Yu collected all the source crystals and then looked at Wang Tiezhu.

"Are you still able to leave?"

Wang Tiezhu nodded: "Yes! A few brothers were slightly injured, but it's nothing serious."

Lin Yu pointed to the warship: "Then let's get on board, and we'll take you back."

Wang Tiezhu stared wide-eyed at the silver-white warship.

"W-These are yours?"

Lin Yu nodded.

Wang Tiezhu swallowed hard and led his team onto the warship.

Inside the bridge, ten border guards looked around in amazement, like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden.

"Holy crap, this operating system is a holographic projection!"

"This sofa is so soft!"

"This window can be used as a screen?!"

Lin Hui leaned against the back of the sofa, watching them curiously.

"Uncle, haven't you ever seen a warship before?"

Wang Tiezhu chuckled dryly: "I've seen them before, but I've never seen anything this high-class..."

Lin Hui nodded and continued distributing the snacks.

……

The warships were a little slower than when they came—because they had to take care of the wounded—but they returned to the border in just twenty minutes.

When the silver-white warship appeared on the horizon, everyone on the border city walls tensed up.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

The rune array lit up, and the magic cannon changed direction.

Then they saw the communication signals coming from the warship.

"Don't fight! Don't fight! We're on the same side!"

Wang Tiezhu's voice came through the communicator.

The commander on the city wall was stunned.

"Wang Tiezhu?! You're still alive?!"

Wang Tiezhu laughed and cursed, "Nonsense! I'm perfectly fine! Hurry up and open the protective shield so we can land!"

A gap was opened in the protective shield.

The warship slowly landed on the open ground behind the city wall.

The hatch opened, and Wang Tiezhu led nine team members down.

Xiao Li, who had previously asked Lin Yu for help, was the first to rush over.

"Brother Tiezhu! You're alright?!"

Wang Tiezhu patted him on the shoulder: "It's alright! It's all thanks to Comrade Lin Yu!"

Xiao Li looked at Lin Yu, his eyes reddening again.

He snapped to attention and saluted.

"Comrade Lin Yu! Thank you!"

Lin Yu waved her hand.

The team leader walked over and said earnestly, "Comrade Lin Yu, we will remember your kindness. As promised, here are fifty Source Crystals."

He handed me a small bag.

Lin Yu took it and nodded.

Wang Tiezhu chimed in, "Captain, Comrade Lin Yu and the others wiped out that small force of the Flame Leopard Clan and helped us retrieve that shipment!"

The captain's eyes lit up: "Really?!"

Lin Yu also took out the two hundred source crystals.

"These are yours, right?"

The captain looked at the pile of source crystals, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Yes! This is the batch! Great! Mission accomplished!"

He took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yu, and said solemnly:

"Comrade Lin Yu, I am deeply grateful. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future!"

Lin Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

......

Back on the warship, Lin Yu took out all three hundred-plus source crystals from his spatial ring and piled them up.

The little glutton's eyes lit up when he looked at the pile of shiny stones.

"Master, can we eat these?"

Lin Yu tapped her head: "You can't eat it, but you can absorb it."

The little glutton scratched its head, looking aggrieved.

Lin Yu sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the source crystal.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Energy flows into the body like a gentle stream, and the level gradually increases.

Level 52.

Level 53.

……

When all three hundred-plus source crystals were absorbed, Lin Yu's level stopped at level 55.

He opened his eyes, felt the surging energy within him, and nodded slightly.

Lin Xue walked over and handed him a bottle of medicine.

"Master, this is a high-level experience potion prepared by Su'er. We just drank it, and our levels have all increased to 55."

Lin Yu nodded, stood up, and stretched his limbs.

"That's about it, let's get ready—"

Before he could finish speaking, the alarm suddenly went off!

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire border.

Lin Yu frowned and led the beast girls out of the warship.

On the city wall, all the border guards were already in position.

The rune array was activated at full power, and all the magic cannons were turned around and aimed at the distance.

The captain saw Lin Yu and quickly walked over.

"Comrade Lin Yu! Radar has detected a group of alien races approaching at high speed in the distance!"

"You all go back to the warship first; it's extremely dangerous here!"

Lin Yu looked into the distance.

On the horizon, a group of black dots are rapidly approaching.

The speed was fast, and the quantity was considerable.

He squinted.

The outlines of those black dots... look somewhat familiar.

"Wait a minute."

He raised his hand, signaling the captain not to rush.

The black dots were getting closer and clearer.

Finally, Lin Yu could see what they looked like.

Eagle head, human body, wings.

They are the Eagle People.

Moreover, it was the Eagle People tribe from the same tribe as before.

The captain's expression changed after he saw what the other person looked like.

"They're actually Eagle People?!"

"Could it be that they've come for revenge?"

"Quickly, everyone prepare for battle!"

Lin Yu pressed his hand down.

"Don't rush."

The captain panicked: "Comrade Lin Yu! The Eagle People are incredibly vicious; they've definitely come for revenge! We can't be careless!"

Lin Yu shook her head: "I know them."

The captain was stunned.

"Do you know him/her?"

Lin Yu nodded, then looked at Lin Hui.

"Hui'er".

Lin Hui understood and jumped down from his arms.

A burst of blue light erupted.

The next second, a blue dragon more than 20 meters long appeared on the city wall!

The captain and the soldiers were all stunned.

"Dragon... Dragon..."

Lin Yu leaped onto the dragon's back.

"Let's go take a look."

The blue dragon soared into the air and flew towards the group of eagle-men.

On the city wall, everyone stared blankly at this scene.

Xiao Li murmured, "Who exactly is Comrade Lin Yu...?"

The captain swallowed hard. "I don't know... but they're definitely someone we can't afford to mess with..."

......

Blue Dragon approached the flock of eagle-men.

The group of eagle-men trembled with fear when they saw a dragon flying towards them.

The one leading the group was the same eagle-man chieftain who had been spat out by the Taotie.

Upon seeing Lin Yu on the dragon's back, it immediately shouted:

"Stop! Stop! Everyone stop!"

All the eagle-men hovered in the air, too afraid to move.

The blue dragon stopped in front of them, looking down at them.

Lin Yu spoke up: "What are you doing here?"

The eagle-man chieftain shuddered, then did something no one expected—

It landed on the ground and then knelt down.

The other eagle-men also landed and knelt in a row.

On the city wall, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Kneeling...kneeling?!"

"The Eagle Clan has knelt down?!"

"Whom do they kneel to? Lin Yu?!"

The eagle-man chieftain knelt on the ground and spoke in a broken human language:

"Your Majesty! We have come to submit!"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"submission?"

The eagle-man chieftain nodded frantically, "Yes! We discussed it after returning and decided to submit to the King from now on!"

"We'll do whatever the king tells us to do!"

The eagles behind it nodded in unison.

Lin Yu remained silent for a few seconds.

Then ask, "Why?"

The eagle-man chieftain hesitated for a moment, then confessed honestly:

"Because the King is too strong...we can't beat him...and his minions can grow to such a huge size (it gestured to show what a Taotie looks like when it grows up), they could eat us all in one bite...we don't want to die..."

It paused, blushed, and said somewhat shyly:

"Moreover, our tribe is running out of food."

"If we follow the king, we should have food, right?"

Lin Yu: "..."

So, they were intimidated by the power and just came to freeload a meal?

On the city wall, the soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

"The Eagle People...did they only submit to us for free meals?"

"Aren't they supposed to be very arrogant?"

"Arrogant my foot! What's there to be arrogant about when you're dead?"

The captain rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The eagle-people, who were usually extremely fierce, were now kneeling in front of Lin Yu, like a group of chicks waiting to be fed.

He took a deep breath and murmured:

"Comrade Lin Yu...you're truly amazing..."

……

Lin Yu told the group of eagle-men to wait where they were, and then rode the blue dragon back to the city wall.

The captain immediately came forward, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Comrade Lin Yu! You are truly amazing! Even the Eagle People are kneeling and begging to be taken in!"

Lin Yu waved her hand: "They just want to freeload."

The captain chuckled, "You're really something, even if you're just trying to freeload! We've been fighting the Eagle People for so many years, and they've never backed down. But the moment you arrived, they knelt down!"

Lin Yu didn't reply, but looked at the eagles in the distance.

"Could we designate a piece of land near the border for them to live in?"

The captain was taken aback for a moment.

"You really want to take them in?"

Lin Yu nodded: "I can feel that they are willing to submit from the bottom of their hearts, and that they can cooperate with humans to protect this place in the future."

"It's always good to have more strength."

The captain thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright! Anyway, there's a wasteland over there that nobody uses. Let them live there."

Lin Yu nodded and rode the blue dragon back to the Eagle People's territory.

Get up.

The eagle-man chieftain stood up and stared at him expectantly.

"Your Majesty, then we..."

Lin Yu pointed to a wasteland next to the border.

"You'll be living there from now on."

"Remember, you are not allowed to harm humans, rob, or cause trouble. Stay put."

The eagle-man chieftain nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! Whatever Your Majesty says goes!"

Lin Yu took out a large pile of food from her spatial ring—

Steamed buns, dumplings, flatbread, canned goods, compressed biscuits...

They were piled up into a small mountain.

"These are for you to eat first."

The eagle-man chieftain stared wide-eyed at the mountain of food.

The eagles behind it all stared wide-eyed.

"So many?!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Take these and distribute them. If you behave well in the future, you'll get more."

The eagle-man chieftain's eyes were red.

It knelt down again with a "thump".

"Your Majesty! You are truly our second parent! We will certainly behave well!"

The other eagle-men also knelt down, chattering incomprehensible words, but their expressions suggested they were pledging their loyalty.

On the city wall, the soldiers watched this scene with mixed feelings.

Xiao Li whispered, "Why do I feel like those eagle-men look at their food with more affection than they look at us?"

The soldier next to him nodded: "Indeed. When they look at us, they want to fight; when they look at food, they want to be treated like royalty."

The captain said wistfully, "If we had known that food could bribe them, why did we fight so hard all these years..."

Another soldier whispered, "Captain, we don't have enough food for them..."

The captain remained silent.

Also.

The border supplies are rationed, so where would there be any extra falconers?

Only someone like Lin Yu, who carries a granary with him wherever he goes, could be so extravagant.

......

The Eagle People carried the mountain of food and happily went to the wasteland.

As he left, the eagle-man chieftain turned back and called out:

"Your Majesty! We've settled in and are ready to stand guard for you!"

Lin Yu waved her hand, signaling it to hurry up.

Only after the Eagle People disappeared from sight did he turn around and look at the soldiers who were still in a state of shock.

"Alright, it's nothing."

The captain took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Comrade Lin Yu, I will report today's events to my superiors truthfully."

"You not only saved our comrades, but also subdued the Eagle People. This is a great achievement!"

Lin Yu shook her head: "It was nothing."

The captain smiled: "What you consider a small favor is a life-saving grace for us."

"If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

Lin Yu nodded and led the beast girls back to the warship.

Before the hatch closed, he glanced at the wasteland in the distance.

The group of eagle-men were busily building their nests, eating the food he had given them as they went, their faces beaming with happiness.

Taotie nestled in his arms and whispered:

"Master, they are so happy."

Lin Yu ruffled her fur.

"Of course I'm happy to have food."

Taotie thought for a moment and said seriously:

"I'm very happy too. Since I started following my master, I've had delicious food every day."

Lin Yu smiled.

"Of course."

The warship slowly rose into the air and flew deep into the starfield battlefield.

The new journey continues.

……

After that day, a new legend was born on the border.

Legend has it that there was a young man named Lin Yu who led a group of beautiful girls.

Driving a warship that looked like something out of a science fiction novel, they wiped out more than two hundred elite members of the Flame Leopard Clan in just three minutes.

Legend has it that he had a dragon, which he rode in the sky, frightening the Eagle People so much that they knelt down and begged to be taken in.

Legend has it that he casually took out a mountain of food and fed an entire tribe of eagle people.

legend......

The versions of the legend are becoming more and more numerous, and increasingly outrageous.

But one thing everyone agrees on is—

Lin Yu is someone you shouldn't mess with.

They wouldn't dare provoke them.

As for those eagle-men, they really did what they said they would do.

After they settled down, they sent a few of their people to patrol the border area every day. They would call the police if they saw any other races, and they would bow and scrape if they saw any humans.

At first, the soldiers weren't used to it, but they gradually got used to it.

After all, who would refuse a free sentry?

But every time the soldiers saw those eagle-men patrolling, they would think of that legend.

That man who carries a dragon and a gluttonous beast, and can casually pull out mountains of food.

The man who turned the ferocious Eaglemen into obedient underlings.
