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

He gripped the knife with both hands, his muscles bulging, and the blade gleamed with a blinding red light.

"Berserk Slash!"

This is his signature skill: burning a portion of his health to gain three times the attack power. He once cleaved the head off a level 40 monster with a single strike!

Zhao Wu raised his staff and chanted a spell. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air.

"Ice Roar!"

This is his ultimate move, a wide-range ice magic spell that comes with a slowing and freezing effect!

Qian Yang then activated "Shield Shockwave," a rare active attack skill for shield warriors.

Although Sun Le is a healer, he also has an offensive skill called "Holy Punishment".

Zhang San uses the scout's classic skill "Backstab," which comes with "Armor Penetration" and "Bleeding" effects!

Five attacks bombarded the silver-white tent from five directions!

Then--

The moment the attack touched the surface of the tent, something unexpected happened!

The faint golden halo on the surface of the tent suddenly rippled violently like waves on water!

Immediately afterwards, the halo rapidly spread, forming a pale golden hemispherical force field with a diameter of thirty meters, enveloping the entire tent!

Wang Mang's "Berserk Slash" struck the force field, but instead of the expected cracking sound, it was absorbed and dissolved.

Then, the same crimson blade light appeared on the surface of the force field, but it was ten times more violent than the one Wang Mang had unleashed!

"Varied--"

Wang Mang's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively drew his sword to parry.

"clang--!!!"

Amidst the deafening clang of metal clashing, Wang Mang was sent flying, sword and all!

His giant blade was covered in cracks the moment it made contact, and then shattered into more than a dozen pieces with a "crack"!

The blade's momentum remained undiminished, slashing diagonally across his chest—

Blood splattered.

Wang Mang looked down and saw that his upper and lower body were separating.

He tried to say something, but only blood and foam came out of his mouth.

My last thought before my consciousness faded was: This magic array... isn't even a Yellow Rank one...

Almost simultaneously, Zhao Wu's "Ice Roar" was also reflected tenfold!

The ice storm, originally one meter in diameter, rebounded and became an ice tornado ten meters in diameter!

Zhao Wu didn't even have time to scream before he was swept up in it.

The terrifyingly low temperature instantly froze him into an ice sculpture, and then the tornado's tearing force ripped the ice sculpture apart.

Ice crystals mixed with bits of flesh and blood fell down in a soft rustling sound.

Zhang San is the most miserable.

His "Backstab" is a melee skill, and it bounces back from the closest point.

Twenty phantom images of poisoned daggers appeared out of thin air and pierced his body from all directions!

He couldn't even scream before he was riddled with holes.

Qian Yang's "Shield Bash Shockwave" rebounded back, and the shockwave intensity increased tenfold!

He instinctively raised the tower shield in front of him, but the terrifying impact shattered the bones in his hands!

The shield flew out of his hand, and he screamed and fell to his knees.

His arms hung limply at his sides, unable to be lifted again.

Only Sun Le, because he was positioned the furthest away, was partially affected by the "Holy Punishment" rebound.

Holy light scorched half of his body, charring his clothes and flesh black. He writhed on the ground in agony, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

The entire attack, from start to finish, took less than three seconds.

Of the five-man hunting team, three were dead and two were injured.

Despite the excruciating pain, Qian Yang used his shoulder to lift Sun Le up, roaring hoarsely, "Run! Run!!!"

This is not a Yellow-Rank defensive formation at all!

This is at least a Level 1 magic array!

No, even the Earth-rank isn't this monstrous!

To be able to amplify the power of the attack received so much and reflect it back—

He had never heard of such a thing!

The two scrambled and crawled towards the cave.

However, in the instant they turned around—

On either side of the tent, the air distorted and fluctuated, and two silver-white cannons appeared out of thin air!

The turret is three meters high, with thick cannon barrels engraved with complex sacred runes, and dazzling golden flames gathered at the muzzle!

[Sacred Magic Turret Rune Array], activated!

The turret automatically searched for the enemy, and the cannon barrels rotated, accurately locking onto Qian Yang and Sun Le.

The two looked back and were utterly terrified.

They could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from those two cannons—

That was an energy fluctuation far exceeding their level!

"etc!"

"We were wrong!" Sun Le screamed desperately, his face covered in snot and tears. "Big brother, spare us—!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The deafening roar of artillery fire erupted.

Two thick golden beams of light shot out from the cannon muzzle.

In an instant, it covered a distance of tens of meters and completely engulfed Qian Yang and Sun Le!

Within the pillar of light, the two didn't even have time to scream before their bodies rapidly vaporized in the pure holy light, leaving not even ashes behind.

The beam of light lasted for three seconds before slowly dissipating.

The valley returned to silence.

Only the lingering smell of burning in the air and a few charred marks on the ground proved what had just happened.

Inside the tent.

Lin Yu sat on the living room sofa, holding a cup of hot tea that Lin You had just brewed.

On the screen in front of him, a live feed of the surveillance cameras outside the tent was being displayed—

Filmed by a camera outside the space tent.

In the scene, Wang Mang is cleaved in two by his own blade, Zhao Wu is torn apart by an ice storm, Zhang San is riddled with holes, and Qian Yang and Sun Le are vaporized by a magic cannon.

The entire process was uneventful.

Lin Ya, watching from the side, wore a somewhat unsatisfied expression: "Wow... is it over already?"

Lin You nodded calmly: "The effect of the rune array is as expected."

Lin Xue, Lin Shan, and Lin Qing stood to the side with indifferent expressions.

Lin Duo sat in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees, her face pale.

Although she killed the Burning Feathered Grey Bird with her own hands, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing such a one-sided massacre.

Lin Yu took a sip of tea and commented casually, "These people are too weak; they couldn't even withstand the Light Giant."

In fact, he had noticed it when the five people entered the valley.

The tent's security system is monitored by Lin You, and any living being that enters within a one-kilometer radius will be marked.

Lin Yu saw that they were five human professionals, all wearing equipment of level 40 or higher, so he didn't pay them any mind.

Perfect, this is a good opportunity to test the practical effectiveness of the rune array.

The result... was a bit disappointing.

The [Holy Protective Counterattack Rune Array] and [Holy Magic Turret Rune Array] wiped out the opponent completely.

The [Light Giant Summoning Rune Array] didn't even have a chance to be activated.

"At least it proves that the rune array I inscribed is perfect." Lin Yu put down his teacup. "As for the Giant of Light, let's test that later."

"Lin Xue, Lin Shan, Lin Duo, you're coming out with me." He stood up. "Lin Ya, you stay in the tent with Lin Qing and Lin Huan."

"Yes, Master/Lord."

Outside the tent, a faint smell of burning still lingered in the air of the valley.

Lin Yu walked to Wang Mang's body.

The upper and lower body were completely separated, and the internal organs were spilled all over the ground. The death was gruesome.

"He brought this on himself." Lin Yu shook his head and began to loot.

Wang Mang's giant blade was already broken and had little value.

The heavy armor he was wearing was only of excellent quality; it was shattered into pieces by the reflected blade light, and the cost of repairing it was more expensive than buying a new one.

Apart from that, only a leather wallet was found at his waist.

Inside were a few crumpled banknotes, totaling less than two thousand yuan.

"So poor." Lin Yu tossed it aside with disdain.

Nothing of value was found on the other people either.

The only find was a leather backpack next to Wang Mang's body.

【Name】Space Backpack (Level D)

[Internal Space] 10 cubic meters

【Description】A backpack sewn from the hide of a spatial monster, with a built-in simple spatial folding technology.

Lin Yu probed in with his mental energy.

There wasn't much inside:

More than a dozen sets of Warcraft materials, with a total estimated value of over 100,000;

Twelve bottles of intermediate healing potions, and three bottles of intermediate mana potions;

Twenty-six Star Domain Coins;

Several sets of dirty clothes and dry food;

A tattered "Wilderness Survival Handbook".

Lin Yu curled her lip: "What a bunch of poor bastards."

Although there were some rare materials inside, for Lin Yu, who was used to seeing rare treasures, it was only better than nothing.

Starfield Coins are somewhat useful, but there are only twenty-six of them…

It's not even a fraction of the total.

Lin Yu stored the entire space backpack into her [space bracelet].

He looked around; the valley appeared tranquil and beautiful in the setting sun.

If it weren't for the bloodstains and scorch marks, no one would guess that a crushing battle had just taken place here.

"Master, these people deserved it!" Lin Ya leaned closer. "If it weren't for our talisman array, they would definitely have attacked us!"

"That's how the wilderness is," Lin Yu said softly. "It's survival of the fittest; there are no rules."

"They have the right to attack us."

"It is our duty to send them to their deaths."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Xue's eyes: "Master is right."

Lin Shan said indifferently, "This is the law of survival."

Lin Duo pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "I...I understand. I won't be soft-hearted anymore."

Lin Yu smiled and patted her head: "It's not to make you cold-blooded, but to make you understand the reality of this world."

"Be kind to those who deserve it, and show no mercy to your enemies."

"Um!"

Lin Duo took the opportunity to hug Lin Yu.

It's been two hours since I've felt my owner's embrace!
