On the road, they encountered a charioteer riding a white tiger.
The charioteer greeted them listlessly.
Fu Yaozi, in high spirits after obtaining the treasure, said, "Charioteer, you should be more alert. What if something happens?"
The charioteer grunted and replied, "I just came back from the front line. Nothing major is happening, so don't worry."
"You... you can't be like this..."
"Look, my beast, Feng Diao, is back."
A soft hum echoed.
A gust of wind blew, and a thumb-sized azure bird landed on his shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yaozi immediately fell silent. He had forgotten that the charioteer was a beast tamer!
The little bird couldn't speak human language, chirping incessantly. However, the charioteer could understand it, nodding repeatedly.
After Feng Diao finished speaking, he said,
"See? Feng Diao said there's nothing to worry about. The Blood Dragon Army has already established a defense line. The two ninth-tier exotic beasts on the enemy side are sitting in the rear, letting the horde attack without intervening."
"Alright, then let's hurry over."
"You got it!"
.........
Lin Yu's cabin.
Lin Yu, Lin Fan, and Bai Xiaosa sat together.
Bai Xiaosa said, "Just now, our Cave Void Academy group posted the latest news. The horde of exotic beasts attacking the Triangles was currently attacking our Southeast defense line, but the high-tier exotic beasts still haven't joined the fray."
Lin Fan asked strangely, "Are these exotic beasts plotting something? Why aren't they attacking directly?"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Could they be waiting for exotic races from other regions to rendezvous?"
As his words fell, the others looked thoughtful.
Bai Xiaosa opened his wristband and began to check.
After a long while, he looked up and said, "The exotic beasts have spread their net wide. The Triangles and the Three-Eyed Octopus race have already been breached. The Thousand Feather race is powerful and currently has no problems. Additionally, there are more than a dozen smaller races resisting, but they probably won't hold on for much longer. Perhaps when all the other exotic races gather, the decisive battle will begin."
Hearing this, Lin Yu's sense of urgency grew stronger.
He nodded and said, "Yes, it's very likely."
At this moment, the intelligent system's broadcast sounded again.
[Due to changes at the Southeast defense line, awakened individuals below fifth-tier can proceed to the Southeast defense line to resist the exotic beast onslaught.]
[The war is intensifying, and the Cabinet has begun to dispatch further reinforcements.]
[Reinforcements will arrive soon. Thank you for your hard work!]
"As expected, the situation has become more tense," Bai Xiaosa frowned.
Lin Yu said, "We can't control these matters for now, but I refuse to believe that low-level exotic beasts can't be killed!"
Bai Xiaosa shook his head, "Even if they are all killed, what's the benefit?"
Lin Yu chuckled, "Yes, there's no benefit!"
Lin Fan also laughed, "Indeed, there's no benefit. But, my elder brother and I are men of great righteousness. Even without benefits, we must do it. This is our spirit of contribution!"
Lin Fan's words were powerful, and excitement flickered in his eyes. Bai Xiaosa watched, stunned.
He was then also inspired and said, "Lin Fan is right. I need to rally myself too. I've decided to go to the Southeast defense line!"
The exotic beasts on the main battlefield were too strong, with the weakest being sixth-tier. He couldn't participate, but the Southeast defense line was different, with generally weaker exotic beasts.
With his extremely sharp eyes, he could detect danger in advance on the battlefield, making him the most dazzling presence there.
Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said, "Then come with me!"
Lin Fan mimicked him, patting Bai Xiaosa's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, stay behind us. We'll protect you!"
Bai Xiaosa looked touched. These two brothers were too loyal.
"Alright, thank you!" he cupped his fists, grateful.
"Without further ado, let's set off now!" Lin Yu said.
Without hesitation, the three departed. Lin Yu took out a sack, packed the Blood and Flesh Pills, and then created a clone to carry it.
The trio headed towards the Southeast battlefield.
The Southeast battlefield was about fifty miles from the human race's central base in the Ruins.
There was also a large mountain here, which had been completely transformed into a base.
A formation enveloped the area. In front of the Southeast base, a dark mass of exotic beasts stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sheer number was staggering.
The three looked on in awe.
"So many exotic beasts, I'm hungry!" Lin Fan's eyes widened, and he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Bai Xiaosa was taken aback. He looked at Lin Fan and indeed saw him drooling. He thought to himself, 'No way, is Lin Fan this carefree?'
This was an endless horde of exotic beasts. Wasn't he afraid of death?
What he found even more absurd was Lin Yu's next statement.
"Hmm, I'm hungry too. Brother Xiaosa, how are your cooking skills?" Lin Yu also wiped the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked.
Bai Xiaosa was stunned, and after a long while, he shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Yu looked disappointed, his gaze dimming as he looked at the countless exotic beasts, as if he had lost countless treasures.
Bai Xiaosa rubbed his eyes and pinched his flesh, wincing in pain.
Only then did he confirm this was not a dream!
"Let's hurry to the base to report. These exotic beasts are about to attack, we can't hesitate."
Lin Fan rushed to the front, urging them on as he walked.
After the three arrived at the base, registered their information, and received their living supplies and cabins,
In Lin Yu's new cabin.
Lin Fan arranged the tea set and brewed some tea. Lin Yu had his clone place the Blood and Flesh Pills in the room, while Bai Xiaosa was still frowning in thought.
He considered himself the smartest among the three, so he naturally assigned himself the role of an advisor.
An advisor, of course, should offer strategies and act as the brains.
However, before he could come up with any plans, Lin Yu sent out his clone, and Lin Fan sent out his puppets.
Then Lin Yu said to him, "Brother Xiaosa, what are you spacing out for? It's time for the battlefield!"
Bai Xiaosa looked at the surrounding clones and puppets. At this moment, he understood everything.
"You guys..."
"We'll have tea and wait for your triumphant return, Brother Xiaosa. Hurry up and go!"
"Brother Xiaosa, don't be afraid. We'll protect you. Even if all the clones and puppets die, we won't let anything happen to you!"
Bai Xiaosa felt rooted to the spot, unmoving.
He was deeply shaken.
All my efforts in strategizing for you, and you two are pulling this stunt again!
Can't you go to the front line and fight directly?
You insist on hiding behind!
He sighed to the heavens and followed the clone towards the battlefield.
At this time, many people on the road were also heading towards the battlefield.
Some people encountered Lin Yu's clone and immediately pointed and discussed.
"Isn't that Lin Yu's clone!"
"Those puppets must be from Lin Yu's brother, Lin Fan."
"Huh, who is this young man in the middle? He's quite handsome, but he looks gloomy, like he's unhappy."
"They're going to the battlefield too? I wonder if they're still refining pills? I can help collect exotic beasts."
