Lin Yu glanced at the battlefield beside him.
Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang were still fully focused on the battle, but it was clearly nearing the end.
Due to rank differences, their opponents were forced to retreat step by step.
Gao Yang's opponent was a monkey at the third stage of the origin birth realm. It was completely subdued by the horrifying cries of the Fierce Crying Vine.
He was whipped by the vines again and again until his skin and flesh split open.
In the end, he was sent flying by the whip and hugged his master's head, shivering.
Zhang Yuze's opponent was even weaker. He was only at the second stage.
The lizard was only able to survive until now because of its invisibility.
"Whoosh!"
The Little Candle Spirit lowered its head and a shrill blue flame shot out.
As it began to spin 360 degrees, the pouring ghost fire turned the surroundings into a sea of fire.
The invisible lizard also revealed itself in the flames. Its entire body was charred black, and it had lost its ability to fight.
"Lin Yu!"
The two men who had finished off their opponents in a hurry immediately wanted to come for his rescue.
When they turned around, they suddenly found that Lin Yu was leisurely standing at the side and watching the battle.
"You killed all three of them?" Zhang Yuze looked extremely incredulous.
Gao Yang was also dumbfounded.
They rubbed their eyes and realized that Lin Yu had somehow become a stranger to them.
Even though he had already thought highly of Lin Yu, he had continuously created miracles.
The pride they felt from their complete victory over their opponents also quietly sank.
"You two aren't hurt, right?" Lin Yu asked out of courtesy.
He had enhanced both of them to the fifth stage realm.
If they were still in a sorry state when facing a second or third-stage opponent, they might as well go home and grow crops.
After all, not every Beastmaster was as outstanding as him, who was able to defeat enemies of a higher stage.
They shook their heads. However, their pet beasts stood up at the same time and leaped toward Xiaozi.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the two of them shouted in unison.
However, the next moment, all three of them, including Lin Yu, were stunned.
They rushed in front of Xiaozi, trying to please her.
The Fierce Crying Vine twisted its withered body and danced, while the Little Candle Spirit shot the blue ghost fire on its head into the sky, setting off fireworks.
Xiaozi still looked very cold, and she gently took a few steps back.
Lin Yu's expression turned strange.
"Did they get addicted to success and start to play up to Xiaozi?" he thought.
He looked at them wagging their tails behind Xiaozi, just like dogs trying to please their owners.
If he were to use [Fallen Believer] on them now, he believed he would probably succeed in an instant. Lin Yu was silent for a moment.
Guys like them would end up miserable.
"Step aside. Stop fooling around. There's still business to attend to." Lin Yu drove them back to their owners.
They seemed a little reluctant and only stopped when Xiaozi glared at them.
Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang were dumbfounded. They kept feeling that something was off.
It was as if their pet beasts had suddenly stopped being intimate with them and only came back to them like it was a task.
"We must not become enemies with Lin Yu." They swallowed in unison.
The five defeated opponents had already run away like underdogs, so Lin Yu naturally began to work on the "serious business" that he had been thinking about.
It was also the long-awaited [Devour] show!
He first placed the pile of banana-shaped purple leaves in front of him.
The black water that could relieve fatigue that was squeezed out of the leaf left a deep impression on him.
Devour!
One by one, the leaves were broken down by some kind of law and sucked into Xiaozi's mouth.
[Devouring complete. Life level increased. ]
...
[Devouring complete. Life level increased. Acquired skill Hell Spirit Rain]
After a series of notifications, Lin Yu finally got the information he wanted, and his body trembled.
"The skill is here! As expected, all it needs is effort and patience." His face was full of excitement.
He couldn't wait to look at the new skill.
[Hell Spirit Rain]: rain of underworld spirits that contains boundless vitality. It can relieve fatigue and heal injuries.
"Let's try!" Lin Yu's heart moved.
Xiaozi understood tacitly. She stretched out a finger, raised it high, and kept drawing circles above her.
Ripples appeared in the sky, and drops of light purple raindrops fell on everyone like a beautiful dream.
Even if they weren't injured, everyone still felt invigorated as if their fatigue was fading away.
"Fantastic!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he almost couldn't help but want to hold Xiaozi.
"Xiaozi, I have a healing skill!"
"Calm down, calm down, there might be a grand prize later."
"Next is this."
The black grapes that he had picked on the way were also placed on the ground by Lin Yu. Spiritual energy rose from them one by one as if they were spiritual fruits and delicacies for the immortals.
[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]
...
It was still a series of notifications. Lin Yu was already used to it, so he calmly waited for the most important one.
[Devouring complete. Life level increased. Acquired skill Corrosive Magic Grape]
"It's here. It's here!"
Lin Yu felt as if he was playing a game. He drew another rare card out of ten consecutive draws.
[Corrosive Magic Grape]: summon the magic grapes with the dark corrosive ability and control them.
He didn't need to say anything. The thoughtful Xiaozi had already started to test the skill for him.
She spread her slender arms to the sides, and a twisted spiral space appeared behind her.
A black, shiny, fist-sized grape popped out from each of the spaces.
There were a total of seven or eight of them, floating around her, shining with a refreshing luster.
"This ability..."
Lin Yu felt a terrifying fluctuation within the round and alluring grapes.
Xiaozi waved her hand, and a grape flew toward the stone wall like a meteor.
"Boom!"
The moment it came into contact with the stone wall, a wave of dark energy rippled out like a wave.
The rock seemed to be instantly eroded, quickly turning into powder, and the whole body caved in.
A hole was left in the stone wall.
"Boom boom boom!"
One after another, the devil grapes were thrown out. For a moment, it was as if countless black meteors were dancing in the cave.
It left behind a stone wall that looked like the surface of the moon and a ground full of fine powder.
As for those devil grapes, after they had released all their energy, only a layer of shriveled outer skin was left, which fell all over the ground.
Lin Yu opened his mouth slightly.
"How about I call you Xiaozi the Ballgirl from now on?"
Jokes aside, there was still the Black Soul Grass to devour.
He extended his palm and once again spat out a sea of mist, covering the Black Soul Grass on the ground.
For a moment, the cave seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist, like a paradise on earth.
Lin Yu watched helplessly as Xiaozi began to smoke.
[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]
[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]
...
After a large number of notifications, finally...
[Devouring complete. Life level increased. Acquired skill Shadow Touch]
"The third skill!"
The information about the skill instantly entered Lin Yu's mind.
At the same time, Xiaozi's spiritual power also skyrocketed.
With a boom, she completed the breakthrough.
He had reached the fourth stage of the origin birth realm.
