71: She-Devil

After careful consideration, Han Xiaoli made a bold decision.

"Qin Yun, I want to join your guild!"

First, the benefits of Qin Yun's guild were surprisingly good, and second, Qin Yun treated his guild members extremely well.

The third reason was the most important; he had a strong premonition that if he didn't break free from his teacher's control, he would definitely die a miserable death in the end.

Not everyone in the Military Beast Legion was a good person. It could be said that after the world underwent a major reform, there was scum in every country and faction; human nature was often the darkest thing of all.

"As long as you can pass the assessment of the Shanhai Pavilion, we welcome you."

Qin Yun was actually not surprised by Han Xiaoli's request to join; after everything that had just happened, no one could remain unmoved.

Moreover, in his impression, this guy always sought stability in everything he did and was extremely low-key.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had contracted an S-Rank life-bound beast, everyone would probably have forgotten his existence.

"I know that, but I need your help!"

"Oh? What help?"

This was the first time Han Xiaoli had ever asked someone for help.

"I need some Changchun Stone Materials, as well as hundreds of thousands of gold coins. I need these to break free from my teacher. Relying on myself alone, I estimate it would take many years to collect them. Therefore, I need your help. Regardless of whether I can pass the Shanhai Pavilion Guild assessment after we go out, I will repay this favor!"

"Oh?"

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Break free from your teacher? Your teacher wouldn't happen to have the surname Mo, would he?"

Han Xiaoli was somewhat surprised and said, "You know my teacher? That's right, his surname is Mo, and his name is Ink Heaven-Kindness!"

"No, I don't know him."

Qin Yun couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything more.

Qin Yun didn't care about this small amount of money at all. If Han Xiaoli could pass the assessment, the guild would gain another bit of strength.

As the guild leader, he naturally couldn't be stingy.

And Changchun Stone was just a type of Advanced Material; there was a probability of obtaining it by opening material treasure chests.

With this matter concluded.

Everyone immediately headed to the mission hall to accept advancement missions.

Su Taner followed by Qin Yun's side to level up.

Because she was already a Fifth-Rank Beast Tamer, and the maximum level for the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land First Layer map was the Fifth-Rank cap, she naturally couldn't accept Sixth-Rank advancement missions.

After the Fifth Rank, every level up required a massive amount of experience; one level was almost equal to the sum of all previous levels' experience.

After leveling up alone for a few days, Su Taner had only reached level 123, and that was with an experience bonus.

"Let's go! Let's go sweep the Dragon Monsters on other maps first!"

With Su Taner's addition, Qin Yun's small team became even more lively.

When she saw Bili Si and Sarata serving Qin Yun like personal maids, Su Taner could only curl her lips in disdain from the side.

"Oh my, Sister Bili Si, your technique is wrong, it should be like this!"

Qin Yun didn't speak, just squinted his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it.

On the other side.

The new generation of the Chilin Guild was being hunted down by a mysterious Devil Head.

"Ah!!! Don't kill me, I'm just a newcomer who just joined the Chilin Guild; I have no grievances with you!"

A blood-covered youth looked in terror at the great Devil Head who had suddenly appeared and attacked him.

"None of the Chilin Guild members will leave the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land alive!"

This Devil Head was naturally the blackened Liu Xiaoran. At this moment, she was hunting Dragon Monsters to level up while also hunting Chilin Guild members, as well as other guilds that had refused her entry after she was kicked out of the Chilin Guild.

She vented all the resentment in her heart onto these people!

Of course.

After becoming a Dark Believer, Liu Xiaoran no longer needed to accept advancement missions to advance. She only needed to increase her level, and she would naturally advance to the next Rank. The all-attribute rewards she obtained were also at the level of Purgatory-difficulty advancement missions.

At this moment, with the help of Barto, a Fifth-Rank Dark Believer, Liu Xiaoran had quickly risen to the Fourth Rank, and it would take at most a few days to reach the Fifth Rank.

Puchi!

After Liu Xiaoran had toyed with him enough, she let the Dark Howling Moon Wolf devour the Chilin Guild newcomer in one bite.

"Strange! I've found so many Chilin Guild members, why haven't I found Scarlet Silver Wind yet?"

The person Liu Xiaoran wanted to kill most was Scarlet Silver Wind. Don't ask her why; if you ask, it's hate—that's just how women are.

"Barto, how many Chilin Guild members are left?"

Barto took out a Dark positioning item, used the blood of a Chilin Guild member, and input the Chilin Guild's information.

The next second.

The locations of the remaining Chilin Guild members were briefly displayed on the map.

"There are fifteen left!"

"Continue the hunt! I will kill them all, and then go to Safe City to find Qin Yun. With his ability, he will definitely be able to find Safe City!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaoran continued her actions.

Very soon.

Rumors of a female Devil Head hunting Beast Tamers spread throughout the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land First Layer.

Many people who had encountered the female Devil Head and luckily survived said in terror after seeing others, "That female Devil Head is too terrifying. She is shrouded in darkness, wearing a dark mask, and accompanied by an NPC. That NPC also looks like a Devil Head. They seem to be specifically hunting members of the Chilin Guild, and most others who encounter them also meet a tragic end!"

"No way? Is that female Devil Head also an NPC? Could it be the Dark Believers mentioned in the system rules?"

"I'm not sure, I can't view the female Devil Head's information. In any case, if you encounter them, you must run immediately; they are even more terrifying than Dragon Monsters!"

Qin Yun, who was sweeping through the Dragon Monsters on various maps, also heard about the female Devil Head from the passersby he met.

"Strange? I haven't heard of a female Devil Head in the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land?"

Su Taner was full of confusion.

After learning what the NPC accompanying the female Devil Head looked like, Qin Yun instantly confirmed that the NPC was a disguised Dark Believer, and it was very likely that the female Devil Head was also a Dark Believer!

"Hmm? Little Yun, do you know their origins?"

Seeing Qin Yun deep in thought, Su Taner asked curiously.

"They should be the Dark Believers mentioned in the rules, but it's unclear for now why they are blatantly hunting Beast Tamers."

Because normally, Dark Believers have their own goals for entering the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land and generally act low-key and in the shadows, which could be confirmed from the Dark Believers encountered previously.

But why were the two Dark Believers that had appeared now acting so openly? Could it be that they wanted to find him?

Qin Yun couldn't help but suspect this.

Because he couldn't think of any other reason.

"Dark Believers, I haven't seen one yet. If I encounter them, I must have a good fight with them!"

Su Taner's Battle Intent was aroused.

"Sister Su Taner, don't be careless. These Dark Believers are not weak. At the very least, in terms of equipment alone, their attribute bonuses absolutely crush yours. Moreover, they have a Dark Divine Power buff, which is no less than a Mythic-level talent all-attribute bonus!"

"Ah? They're that strong? Have you encountered one?"

"Yes, I encountered one before!"

"What was the result?"

"What else could it be? My Golden Niu swallowed it in one bite!"

"..."
