My beasts evolved after killing just one monster; they all became gods.

Chapter 15 Nightmare! The Forest of Blood Night!

"No, your face is etched with stories!"

The three of them roared in their hearts almost simultaneously.

That's right!

It's all because of that damn handsome face!

This kid actually managed to bewitch a peerless beauty like Lin Qingli; he deserves to die!

"Since everyone already knows my situation, there's nothing more to say."

Faced with their envious gazes, Su Lin calmly shrugged.

Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I'm handsome, and that's how people have envied me all these years. I'm used to it by now!

If Jiang Feng and the others knew what Su Lin was thinking at this moment, they would definitely complain even louder.

Who the hell envies you for being handsome?!

We're so envious that a goddess like Lin Qingli would actually fall for you!

What?

Lin Qingli wouldn't even look at someone as unattractive as us.

I don't care!

Envy caused Lao Tzu's plasmodium to split apart, and he couldn't care about anything else anymore!

"Alright."

Compared to the three, Jiang Yuyao, being a girl, was the first to calm down.

Even so, her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, still held a hint of complexity.

"I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance. Su Lin, hello. Please don't take my brother's words and their rudeness to heart. They meant no harm."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Su Lin smiled and said, "But you promised to let me join the team. You wouldn't go back on your word now that you know I'm an E-rank Beastmaster, would you?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Yuyao shook her head decisively and looked at the Xuanjia Shield Turtle: "Even if you are E-rank, it doesn't affect the fact that your pet is C-rank. That's enough for the team requirements, but..."

"only?"

Su Lin glanced at her.

He had to admit that the woman in front of him was absolutely stunning, on par with Lin Qingli, especially with her divine aura and elegant, comfortable manner of speaking; there was not a single flaw to be found.

If it weren't for the fact that he had grown up with Lin Qingli and had developed a strong immunity to beautiful women, Su Lin would probably have felt inferior in her presence.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Yuyao did not continue.

Beside her, Jiang Feng and the other two, who were gradually calming down, understood what she meant but didn't say it aloud.

Su Lin's C-rank Xuanjia Shield Turtle is indeed sufficient.

only……

Now that his identity as an E-rank Beastmaster has been confirmed, it is almost certain that he is not the mysterious genius Beastmaster who soloed the Wild Boar King BOSS despite being a higher-ranked opponent.

To be honest, before this, they still held onto a sliver of hope...

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business."

Having learned that Su Lin was not the mysterious beast tamer, Jiang Feng lost interest and began to go through the motions.

Mocking Su Lin?

That is absolutely impossible.

With the upbringing of scions of prominent families like theirs, they wouldn't do such a thing.

Of course, Su Lin shouldn't expect to gain too much respect from him either.

Just a passerby.

Even if he is the city lord's adopted son, it doesn't matter. In this world, in the end, it is personal talent and strength that speak for themselves!

"This secret realm is called Blood Night Forest. Difficulty: Nightmare. Limited to 5 players. The highest entry requirement is level 29."

Jiang Feng gave a brief introduction to the dungeon.

Su Lin nodded. The difficulty of this dungeon was as he had guessed, but the highest entry requirement was somewhat unexpected.

Everyone present was shrewd and immediately saw through his thoughts.

Jiang Feng said, "With our team, it is indeed very difficult to challenge a dungeon of this level, let alone in Nightmare mode."

"But my sister is a Holy Light class, and I'm a Fire Mage, so we have a high damage bonus against the monsters inside."

"That's right. Moreover, most of the monsters in this dungeon are plant-based, so they move very slowly or even nonexistently, which makes them much easier to fight."

Wang Hai, the shield warrior standing to the side, took over the conversation.

Su Lin understood.

Their thorough research into this secret realm clearly indicates that they had used various methods to understand its contents before opening it.

Come to think of it, these two people are of noble status. If they weren't more than 90% sure they could succeed, why would they risk their lives?

"In that case, I guess I'm pretty lucky; I can just sit back and win."

Su Lin said with a smile.

Wang Hai and Zhang Long exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Jiang Feng raised his chin with a touch of arrogance: "Of course, I'll carry you today!"

"Jiang Feng, that's enough."

Jiang Yuyao frowned her pretty brows and scolded playfully, "Can't you just stop pretending?"

"..."

Jiang Feng was immediately brought back to his original form.

Jiang Yuyao looked at Su Lin and said seriously:

"We originally estimated that this secret realm would be on hard mode, with a success rate of 99%."

"Although we're now at a higher level and in Nightmare Mode, we're still more than 80% confident that with you on board, it shouldn't be a big problem. But you have to follow orders and not act recklessly."

"During the battle, you will be solely responsible for any consequences arising from your unauthorized actions. Conversely, if our command fails, I will take full responsibility. How about that?"

As the adopted son of City Lord Lin Xiong, Su Lin definitely needed to make some things clear in advance.

"Can."

Su Lin nodded, offering no objection.

Since there hasn't been a fight yet, she can say whatever she wants.

Once they actually meet the monster, and unleash their skills, hey, they won't have a chance to fight back.

Su Lin didn't want to cause trouble, but he also had no intention of pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Once they entered the secret realm, he would definitely do everything he could as quickly as possible, since he was in a hurry to get home for dinner!

"Okay, I've said everything I needed to say. Do you have any more questions?"

Jiang Yuyao glanced around and said, "If there's nothing there, we'll go in."

The commotion caused by the appearance of the secret realm is too great; people have already appeared nearby. If this drags on any longer, things could get complicated.

Su Lin remained remarkably calm: "The only problem is, how will the spoils be divided?"

Jiang Yuyao readily agreed: "That's easy. Everything will be valued on-site and distributed according to the team's contribution to the battle, ensuring fairness, impartiality, and transparency."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Su Lin nodded.

The so-called "team panel" is a kind of "miracle" that comes into reality after the game is brought into existence, just like seeing health bars and information panels when killing monsters.

There's a feature above that shows combat contribution points.

This feature is very useful. It calculates a percentage based on the combined contributions of the team members in battle, and the entire process is determined by the will of the world, so no one can cheat.

It was clear that although he had only joined the team temporarily, Jiang Yuyao and the others had no ill intentions. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used such a formal method and simply given him a couple of pieces of equipment to get rid of him.

"Since there are no problems, let's go in."

As Jiang Yuyao spoke, she sent Su Lin a team-up invitation.

With a "ding," Su Lin successfully joined the team.

"what?"

The calm and meticulous Wang Hai immediately noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Feng asked.

Wang Hai stared at Su Lin with a strange expression: "Young Master Jiang, look at the team panel."

Jiang Feng glanced at it, puzzled, and was immediately taken aback:

"Holy crap! Really?! Dude, how did you get to level 10?"

Jiang Yuyao and Zhang Long were also somewhat shocked.

After learning that Su Lin was not the mysterious beast tamer, their emotions were in turmoil, and for a moment they forgot to ask about Su Lin's level. They didn't expect this guy to level up so quickly!

Under everyone's gaze, Su Lin spread his hands: "So what if it's level ten? Is it that hard?"

"Damn, you've got to pretend to be a good guy!"

Jiang Feng gripped his staff tightly, wishing he could unleash a fireball on Su Lin: "You've only been awakened for three days, and you've already reached level ten! That's not just difficult, it's extremely difficult, exceptionally difficult, okay?!"

There was something he didn't say: they had two high-level escorts who had only reached level 8, while Su Lin was just an E-rank Beastmaster. Why should he be able to compete?

"I don't know. I haven't done anything these past few days. I've just been eating and drinking, and I've leveled up to level 10 entirely by killing monsters with my pets."

Su Lin said with a serious expression.

"..."

The four remained silent.

Okay, that's how beast tamers are, then it's alright.

Jiang Yuyao glanced at him expressionlessly, took long strides, and walked silently toward the dark light screen. She stretched out her snow-white hand, and with a flash of light, her graceful figure disappeared from the spot.

"well……"

Zhang Long and Wang Hai also gave Su Lin a complicated look, sighing for some unknown reason, and followed closely behind.

Jiang Feng's expression shifted, and he gritted his teeth, patting Su Lin on the shoulder:

"Dude, I, Jiang, have always been the one showing off, the one who's always the one doing the show. I never thought I'd fall for you one day. You're ruthless!"

"This C-rank Shield Turtle was specially obtained for you by City Lord Lin, wasn't it? Regardless of how much it cost, just the fact that it allowed you to show off in front of me is enough for you to have made a profit!"

"Sigh, you know I'm the most pathetic one, why did I have to ask that one question!"

Young Master Jiang wished he could slap himself across the face, and dejectedly walked into the secret realm portal.

"Pretentious?"

"Is there?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

The four people's reactions left Su Lin feeling quite innocent.

"Sigh, never mind. True strength is always misunderstood. I'll just keep killing monsters."

Shaking his head, he also stepped into the spatial portal.

[Ding! Team members are complete. The dungeon [Blood Night Forest - Nightmare Difficulty] is about to open.]
