CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 275 COOPERATION?

Amidst the ruins, an ordinary stone was suddenly crushed to powder by a giant scaly foot.

The owner of this gigantic foot, unaware, held a massive meteor hammer while glaring menacingly at everything around.

"Bang!"

Bachman suddenly pushed open a door beside him, only to find it completely empty inside.

Yet Bachman didn’t give up, continuing to head towards the next house.

"Damn little insect, come out for me!"

"Bang!"

...

Listening to the gradually receding sounds outside, Lin Yi finally realized he was holding someone’s mouth shut with his hand.

"I’ll let go of my hand, but stay quiet if you don’t want to die."

With that, Lin Yi withdrew his hand.

At the instant Lin Yi removed his hand, he failed to notice the pair of curious eyes shining beside him.

Lin Yi carefully approached the door and gestured for Yuna to be silent.

What was supposed to be the distant Bachman suddenly ’descended from the sky,’ landing on the street outside the door with a loud crash.

Bachman keenly sensed everything around him, but once again, his face showed disappointment, and his features twisted unwillingly.

Just then, a group of dozens of variably shaped members of the Demon Race, startled by the commotion, hurried over.

One of them, resembling a lizardman, entirely black and covered in thick phosphorus armor, approached Bachman to inquire:

"Sir, did something happen?"

Looking at the ominous members of the Demon Race behind him, Bachman’s expression darkened:

"I’m just stretching out, nothing’s wrong."

The Demon Spirit, not suspecting a thing, waived a hand to signal:

"Then we won’t disturb you any longer, we’ll leave!"

With that, the Demon Spirit and the Demon members turned around and left.

As they departed, Bachman turned around to look at the densely packed buildings in the vicinity, his face serious.

In truth, Bachman could have mobilized lower-level Demons to search the area, but some private interest prevented him from doing so.

This was the territory governed by the Demon Monarch Boruzak.

How this human appeared here was unknown to him, but he knew that if this human wanted to leave from here, it was impossible.

The outskirts of this residential area were guarded day and night by tens of thousands of Demons; unless she willingly walked into a trap, this was the most ’secure’ place for her.

As long as she remained here, Bachman was confident he could find this person.

Because Bachman was acquainted with a Demon General who was sensitive to the scent of humans.

If he waited for it to return later, that would be the day this human perished.

Though this would mean losing half of his food, it was better than losing everything.

This time, Bachman once again slammed the meteor hammer to the ground, vigilantly watching all directions and slowly strolling towards his abode.

As the sound of the meteor hammer grinding against the ground faded, Lin Yi finally let out a sigh of relief and said:

"He finally left."

The moment a large number of Demons were approaching, Lin Yi’s heart was in his throat.

Ignoring the 45-level Demon General outside, even an ordinary Demon had over 20 levels of strength!

Moreover, Demons were merely the lowest ranking cannon fodder in the Demon Race.

Just now, there came two 30-plus-level Demon Spirits and several dozen Demons. If they had been discovered by the opposition, escaping would have been nearly impossible.

Fortunately, that Demon General didn’t disclose there were people here, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.

As for why the Demon General hadn’t revealed the presence of people, Lin Yi understood clearly in his heart.

No matter how many encounters he had with the Demon Race before rebirth, all they wanted was to monopolize Yuna as ’prey.’

Initially, Lin Yi thought that this mission might be difficult, but he never expected it to be a near-death experience.

Before coming, Lin Yi never anticipated the actual situation to be this perilous.

It’s no wonder that before rebirth, the Floating Island was only open when players averaged level 40.

Because by then, those in the first echelon were basically around level 50.

With the strength of the Fifth Transformation, along with accumulated experience, this mission naturally became easier.

"You seem very familiar with this place?"

Unawares, Yuna appeared behind Lin Yi and spoke.

At this time, Lin Yi turned his gaze away from the window and looked at this duplicitous woman, expressionless:

"I am giving you two choices now."

"The first is for us to go separate ways from now on, not interfering with each other."

However, as soon as the words left Lin Yi’s mouth, Yuna quickly responded:

"I choose the second one."

At this point, Lin Yi displayed an intriguing expression:

"Don’t be hasty in choosing, hear me out first."

Continuing, he said:

"The second choice is, I allow you to follow me, but along the way, you must obey my arrangements without any objections or inappropriate actions, or I won’t hesitate to kill you first."

Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, which was no joke, Yuna was taken aback before showing a charming smile:

"Though what you say is quite unpleasant, it is understandable in such a dangerous place."

"Moreover, your recent performance gives me a premonition that you’re going to surprise me next. So..."

"I still choose the second."

Lin Yi laughed softly, then extended his hand:

"To show your sincerity and to reassure me enough to trust you with my back, hand over your most valuable piece of equipment to me for safekeeping."

Yuna stared blankly at Lin Yi’s outstretched hand, then looked at Lin Yi:

"Don’t you fear hurting my feelings by doubting a beautiful woman like this?"

Lin Yi, unfazed, shrugged:

"In my eyes, there are only trustworthy companions and untrustworthy enemies, no distinction between men and women."

"I don’t have much time for you to consider, if you aren’t willing, I..."

Saying this, Lin Yi was about to withdraw his hand, but Yuna suddenly changed her expression and said:

"Wait, I’ll give it."

Then, a silky cloak appeared in Lin Yi’s hand:

[Wandering Cloak] Lv36 Legendary

Lin Yi looked at the attributes on the cloak and found it was a piece of equipment limited to a specific profession.

While it was legendary, there wasn’t anything remarkable about its attributes.

Disdainfully, Lin Yi tossed the cloak back, sneering:

"This is your sincerity? Ha~"

Did you really take me for a fool?

Actually, Lin Yi didn’t necessarily want to cooperate with her, but given the circumstances, having an extra helping hand would be beneficial.

However, with this kind of woman, Lin Yi couldn’t help but worry if she might suddenly turn against him.

So for peace of mind, Lin Yi made this request.

But it was clear that this woman was still trying to downplay matters with Lin Yi, so Lin Yi decided to undertake this mission alone.

"Wait!"

Just as Lin Yi was about to turn and leave, Yuna looked at Lin Yi with a complex expression:

"This is clearly our first meeting, yet why do you feel as if you know me so well?"

Impatiently, Lin Yi glanced at the woman:

"Is this what you wanted to say?"

"Of course not!"

This time Yuna handed over a stunningly designed feather fan to Lin Yi:

"This is the weapon I was planning to replace after leveling up. Have a look."

Lin Yi took a glance at Yuna, then reached to take the feather fan emitting a faint golden glow:

[Celestial Feather] Lv33 Legendary

Upon examining the equipment attributes, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up:

"This..."

At this moment, Yuna wore a pitiful expression:

"No matter what, never forget to return it to me. It took a lot of effort for me to acquire it."

After examining the attributes, Lin Yi was shocked and deftly slipped it into his backpack.

Seeing this, Yuna couldn’t help but ask worriedly:

"In case one of us meets certain death, I hope you’ll return it to me first."

"As long as you follow my instructions, neither of us will die."

Saying this, Lin Yi cautiously opened the door:

"Follow me."
