121: Good deeds will be rewarded or will good deeds be repaid with evil?

The Holy Light Divine Pillar landed on the black dagger, instantly emitting a puff of white smoke.

The Ice Silkworm King let out a tragic cry, but the crimson blood vessels in her azure eyes were rapidly disappearing.

Autumn Leaf didn't know what had happened, her hands loosened, and she stumbled back three steps.

At this moment, where the dagger and the Holy Light Divine Pillar converged, a strange black light cluster was rapidly expanding.

As soon as the 15-second cooldown ended, Lin Ling immediately unleashed Invincible Diamond Armor again.

He rushed towards Autumn Leaf, grabbed her clothes, lifted her, and dashed several hundred meters away in one breath.

Boom!

A loud bang came from behind them.

The icebound earth seemed to have been hit by a nuclear bomb.

The ground behind Lin Ling began to collapse, and a strange energy wave pursued him closely.

His speed was already very fast, but he was still slightly inferior to the shockwave.

The two were instantly sent flying by the air current, soaring dozens of meters further.

Rumble...

Buzz...

The ringing in their ears lasted for dozens of seconds before finally subsiding.

The entire Icebound Forest was enveloped in dust, and if Lin Ling hadn't taken Autumn Leaf out of the core area, Autumn Leaf would have been reduced to nothing.

Autumn Leaf's clear voice rang out in the dust.

"Thank you for saving me."

Lin Ling nodded, "Don't overthink it. I only saved you so you could help me with the materials."

"Mm..."

Autumn Leaf's voice became exceptionally light.

Even through the hazy dust, a faint blush could still be seen on her face.

Which girl hasn't fantasized about a day when a peerless hero would save her from danger?

But at this moment, Lin Ling dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly activated Omniscient View and walked towards the Ice Silkworm King's previous location.

Autumn Leaf looked at Lin Ling's back and suddenly shouted, "Your magic robe..."

Lin Ling paused slightly, looked back, and only then realized that his Blazing Robe was already tattered beyond recognition.

He frowned slightly.

Even in a normal battle, even if killed on the spot, high-quality equipment is difficult to be completely destroyed.

Let alone a sacred set.

Lin Ling immediately checked the equipment's attributes.

[Damaged Blazing Robe (sacred set)]

[Usage Level: Level 10]

[Equipment is damaged, attributes are ineffective.]

[Set is missing, set effect is ineffective.]

"I'm sorry, it's all because I saved you that your equipment was damaged. If you had escaped alone, you definitely could have gotten further."

Autumn Leaf's self-reproaching voice came through.

"I will compensate you for one," Autumn Leaf said again.

Lin Ling shook his head, took off the robe, and handed it to Autumn Leaf, "How will you compensate? Mine is a sacred set."

Autumn Leaf immediately checked the Blazing Robe's attributes.

When she saw the elements 'sacred set' and 'Level 10', her eyes instantly widened.

Although she had been immersed in researching enchantment stone recently, the matter of Lin Ling's sacred set was simply too popular.

She had heard some rumors intentionally or unintentionally.

"He's Lin Ling?"

Autumn Leaf's pupils contracted, and the few memories in her mind began to be quickly sorted out.

Ye Xiu, Level 10 sacred set, a newcomer who awakened an SSS-grade useless talent, Lin Ling, the top-ranked newcomer in Xuanfu Base City.

At this moment, the somewhat naive Miss finally understood everything.

But the more she understood, the stronger the guilt in her heart became.

It was rumored that most of Lin Ling's strength came from the sacred set, and now the sacred set was destroyed.

Autumn Leaf, holding the damaged Blazing Robe, knelt on the ground, falling into deep self-reproach.

She was well aware of the Qiu Family's situation; all their assets combined were only about 1 billion left.

"Ye Xiu, I will definitely compensate you!" Autumn Leaf suddenly shouted towards Lin Ling's back.

However, Lin Ling didn't take it seriously; saving Autumn Leaf was just a convenient act.

Even if he hadn't saved her, his robe would have been damaged against that level of explosion anyway.

Lin Ling didn't look back, waving his hand, signaling her not to worry.

He himself walked to the edge of a huge deep pit.

This was the epicenter of the explosion; the former Icebound Forest had been transformed into a massive meteor crater.

And at the bottom of the pit, the Ice Silkworm King lay on the ground, a black and red dagger dropped beside her.

Lin Ling used Heros Eye again.

[Weakened Divine Ice Silkworm King]

[Race: Ice Domain Divine Race]

[Level: Lv300]

[Health: 1900 / 100,000,000]

[Physical Damage: 0]

[Magic Damage: 10,000]

[Magic Defense: 10,000]

[Physical Defense: 10,000]

[The Ice Silkworm King is in an extremely weakened state.]

Lin Ling's heart immediately filled with joy; to kill the current Ice Silkworm King, he only needed one casual kick.

He quickly rushed to the bottom of the pit, bent down, and picked up the dagger on the ground.

[Purified Demon God Dagger]

[Usage Level: Lv80]

[Quality: Divine Artifact]

[Weapon made from Demon God bones.]

[All attributes increase 100 times after use by an Abyss creature.]

[If a non-Abyss creature uses this weapon to deal damage to an enemy, they will be tainted by the Demon God Bloodline, and the evil within their heart will be stimulated. If the number of contaminations accumulates to a certain extent, they will be assimilated by the Demon God Bloodline.]

[Level is insufficient, cannot be used.]

When Lin Ling saw the dagger's attributes, his breathing instantly became rapid.

What did a 100x amplification represent?

If he used it now, his damage would instantly reach around 10 million.

And Jiang Shan Yi, at Seven Turns, only had about 20 million damage, but unfortunately, he was not an Abyss creature.

He looked at the Ice Silkworm King on the ground and slowly raised his right foot.

But when Lin Ling's gaze met those azure eyes, he gently lowered his foot.

"I need Ice Silkworm Silk and Ice Silkworm Shedding. If you are willing to give them to me, I can spare you," Lin Ling said, though he wasn't sure if the other party could understand.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Silkworm King immediately blinked twice forcefully.

And several system prompts instantly popped up in front of Lin Ling.

Streaks of white light lit up consecutively from beneath his feet.

[Congratulations! You have received the Ice Silkworm King's gift, Experience +10,000,000.]

[Congratulations! Your Summoning Magic profession has leveled up to Level 59.]

[Congratulations! Your Wind Mage profession has leveled up to Level 59.]

[Congratulations! You have received the Ice Silkworm King's gift: Ice Silkworm Silk +10, Ice Silkworm Shedding +10.]

Lin Ling smiled, crouched down in front of the Ice Silkworm King, and said:

"Thank you. I don't have any healing magic left. I hope you recover soon."

If anyone saw a Professional talking to a BOSS, they would probably think he was crazy.

But Lin Ling's mood at this moment was very happy.

He gently helped up the Ice Silkworm King, who looked like a small loli, wanting to try and feed her a red potion.

But he found that both red and blue potions were grayed out.

Just as he frowned, pondering the reason, the Ice Silkworm King beside him suddenly launched a surprise attack on Lin Ling.

A blue light suddenly shot out from between the Ice Silkworm King's eyebrows, heading straight for Lin Ling's forehead.

The blue light was too fast, not giving Lin Ling any chance to react.

However, the moment the blue light touched Lin Ling's forehead, it poofed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

[You have been subjected to a magic attack. Child of Elements passive has automatically activated, granting you immunity to the Ice Silkworm King's magic: Equal Partner Contract.]

"Equal Partner Contract? What the hell?"

Lin Ling was full of surprise, and the Ice Silkworm King in his arms was even more bewildered.

However, the Ice Silkworm King's divine-level mental power was clearly far superior to Lin Ling's.

She almost instantly recovered, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her large, beautiful eyes.

She opened her mouth and bit down on Lin Ling's arm.

From the previous trigger of the Law of the Son passive to this second surprise attack.

Everything happened in a flash. Lin Ling had already wanted to push the Ice Silkworm King away the moment the system prompt appeared.

Suddenly, a strange force bound his body, slowing his reaction speed by half a beat.

It was in that half-beat that the Ice Silkworm King had already bitten Lin Ling's arm.

Lin Ling's arm stung, and he was about to raise his hand to retaliate.

The Ice Silkworm King suddenly exploded with a bang, and countless ice-blue light particles slowly merged into Lin Ling's arm.

An Ice Silkworm tattoo instantly appeared on his arm.

At the same time, a series of system prompts sounded simultaneously.
