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

After walking for about two hours, a steep cliff appeared ahead.

The rock walls are almost vertical, towering into the clouds, with the outline of a huge nest faintly visible at the top.

"My Lord, it's there."

Lin Shan stopped in her tracks, her golden eyes gazing at the top of the cliff, a hint of coldness flashing in them.

Four months ago, in this very area.

Her parents and siblings were killed by the Red-tailed Giant Eagle.

I was lucky to survive.

Although they later took advantage of the cover of night to ambush and kill the cubs of the Red-tailed Giant Eagle.

But for her at that time, taking revenge on the Red-tailed Giant Eagle was still an impossible task.

Now, she has enough power to return and seek revenge.

Lin Shan's golden wings fully unfurled, unleashing a surge of chaotic energy.

With a flap of her wings, she leaped into the air, hovering and slowly rising towards the top of the cliff.

Lin Yu and the others stayed at the bottom of the cliff to wait.

He took out his binoculars and watched Lin Shan fly closer to the eagle's nest.

Lin Xue stayed by his side, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Lin Ya took out a bag of snacks and gave some to Lin Duo.

The two little ones took turns eating, one piece for each of them, showing great teamwork.

Just then, a sharp cry of an eagle came from the top of the cliff!

Two giant eagles, each over eight meters long and with fiery red feathers, soared into the sky from their nest.

They clearly recognized Lin Shan—

They ambushed and killed the "enemy" who had killed their previous batch of children.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

The red-tailed giant eagle let out an angry cry, flapped its wings, stirred up a violent airflow, and swooped down towards Lin Shan!

Their sharp claws gleamed coldly, enough to tear steel apart.

Lin Shan hovered in mid-air, her golden eyes calm and undisturbed.

She didn't even try to avoid it.

Just as the giant eagle was about to swoop down—

"Buzz!"

The ground shook violently!

Countless grains of sand and stones gushed out from the cliff face, instantly coalescing and piling up.

It transformed into a closed rock maze, trapping the two giant eagles inside!

"The vastness of the earth!"

The giant eagle charged left and right through the maze, frantically crashing into the rock walls.

But the maze is incredibly sturdy and will repair itself.

They hissed angrily, but could not break free.

At that moment, a clear, metallic clang rang out in the maze.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

……

Ten flying swords, formed entirely from pure gold elements, shot out from the rock wall!

"The Edge of Gold"!

The flying swords seemed to have a life of their own, attacking the giant eagle from all sorts of tricky angles.

It easily tears through their tough feathers and skin, drawing out clumps of blood.

"Hey——!!"

The giant eagle let out a mournful cry, struggled desperately, and its body burst into crimson flames—

This is their innate skill, "Crimson Flame Protection," which greatly enhances their defense and burns nearby enemies.

However, the giant eagle's flames had just begun—

"boom!"

Dark red flames suddenly spread throughout the maze!

"Extinction by Fire!"

Fire overcomes metal.

The moment the flying sword made contact with the fire carpet, a violent explosion occurred.

The flames from the explosion spread throughout the entire maze.

It broke through the Red-tailed Giant Eagle's defenses directly.

The result is no suspense.

In just ten seconds, the screams inside the maze abruptly stopped.

As the rock maze slowly dissipated, only two charred giant eagle carcasses remained, emitting a foul, burnt smell.

Lin Shan slowly descended from the sky.

His golden eyes swept over the corpse, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

The knot in my heart has been untied.

She turned around, looked at Lin Yu below the cliff, and nodded gently.

Lin Yu smiled and waved to her.

Lin Duo, watching from below, was dumbfounded: "It's...it's over? So fast?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Ya shrugged. "With Sister Lin Shan's strength, dealing with these two feathered beasts would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

"...Amazing." Lin Duo murmured.

At this moment, Lin Shan had already flown to the top of the cliff and begun searching for the giant eagle's nest.

The nest was large, constructed from withered branches and feathers, and scattered with some monster bones.

Lin Shan's gaze fell on the corner of the nest.

There was a small green snake there, barely alive.

Its body was only as thick as a finger, its scales were dull and lifeless, and it had several bloody holes pecked into its body.

There were three fluffy eaglets nearby, trying to continue pecking at it.

The little green snake struggled to twist its body, trying to escape.

But his injuries were too severe, and he could only helplessly await death.

Lin Shan's eyes turned cold.

"Pfft."

A golden flying sword flashed, and the three eaglets died instantly.

She stepped forward and carefully picked up the little green snake.

Feeling the warmth, the little snake weakly raised its head, glanced at her with its emerald green eyes, and then drooped down again helplessly.

Lin Shan held it and flew down the cliff to Lin Yu.

"My Lord, I unexpectedly found this snake in the nest of the Crimson-tailed Giant Eagle..." She handed the small green snake to Lin Yu.

After Lin Yu took it, the little snake trembled slightly in his palm.

The breath of life was faint, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"The injury is quite serious."

Lin Yu frowned, took out a "Healing Pill", and fed the pill to the little snake.

After the little snake took the elixir, the blood hole began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The signs of life quickly stabilized.

Before long, the little green snake was able to lift its head.

Her emerald green eyes curiously examined Lin Yu, then she affectionately rubbed against his fingers.

"It seems there are no problems."

Lin Yu smiled and habitually checked its attributes—

[Beast Name] Azure Serpent

[Rare Bloodline] None

[Level Cap] 23 (No level cap after transformation)

[Level] 2

[Choose a class after transformation] 1. Ice Mage; 2. Netherworld Curse Master; 3. Bewildered Corpse Puppet

The Cursed Lord of the Underworld?

Lin Yu's gaze fell on the second career option.

Another profession I've never heard of has appeared.

He searched on his phone but couldn't find any information about the profession.

But since the name of this profession contains the character "尊" (zun, meaning honorable/respectful).

It was Lin Shan, that lucky one, who discovered it again...

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he looked at the little green snake in his palm.

The little snake seemed to sense his gaze, raised its head, flicked its tongue, and its emerald green eyes were pure and innocent.

Previously, when Lin Yu was looking for pets in the trading market, he had studied methods for distinguishing the male and female of snake-type magical beasts.

After confirming by smell, it was determined to be a female snake.

"Lord?" Lin Shan noticed Lin Yu's unusual behavior.

"The snake you brought back..." Lin Yu withdrew his gaze, took out an experience potion, "Her transformation profession is quite interesting."

He was preparing to feed the little snake a potion so that she could level up to level 10 and then transform into human form.

Sudden--

"Master, look over there!"

Lin Ya exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the woods on the left.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed.

In the distance, a squirrel with a soft golden glow was seen feasting on a pile of pine cones in the bushes.

Its golden light was so dazzling that it could be clearly seen even in daylight.

The most peculiar thing is that it has a tuft of "cowlick" shaped like a fishhook on its head.

The tip of the ahoge still held a small, constantly rotating cluster of starlight.

Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

This is……

"Treasure-Hunting Golden Mouse"?!
