Chapter 287 Post-War Rewards



Although Li Xinyue is young, she has completely embraced the role of a mother.

She was very worried about Li Shiyun's future.

This girl has a terrible temper. It doesn't matter in Shashi, since no one can beat her anyway.

But if it were anywhere else, given how quickly Li Shiyun offends people, it's hard to say when she might run into a tough nut and be done for.

It's rare to find someone who can keep Li Shiyun in check, even if he's a few years older than her and can only be her concubine, she'd accept it.

She truly regarded Zhang Lin as her son-in-law.

That's why I'm rushing here now.

Seeing that Zhang Lin was alright, Li Xinyue breathed a huge sigh of relief, then hurriedly said, "This place is dangerous. Let's move to the shore first to avoid a second sneak attack from the Beast King!"

"?" Zhang Lin was full of questions.

What's wrong with that woman's eyes? I just instantly killed the Beast King, didn't you see?

"No, why aren't you moving?" Li Xinyue was very anxious. Seeing that Zhang Lin was not moving, she grabbed Zhang Lin's hand and tried to drag him away, but the result was... she couldn't move him.

"The Beast King is dead, so what's the point of talking about danger?"

Zhang Lin stood with his hands behind his back, a Miao sword waving beside him. He stood on a piece of driftwood, swaying with the current, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"What? Dead?" Li Xinyue didn't react at first, and after a moment of stunned silence, she asked blankly, "Who died?"

“…” Zhang Lin.

Why is someone who usually seems so shrewd acting so blankly right now?

Seeing that Zhang Lin remained silent and stared at him for a while, Li Xinyue suddenly realized something and stammered, "You, you're not saying that the Beast King is dead, are you?"

"Otherwise what?"

Her small hand was still gripping Zhang Lin's large hand. Zhang Lin gripped her hand in return and led her directly to the area with the most extraordinary creatures. "Hurry up and kill them. Once you've dealt with your troubles here, I'll collect my reward. I can't wait!"

Li Xinyue was completely bewildered. She had been on tenterhooks, worried that the Beast King would attack again, but Zhang Lin told her that the Beast King was dead. She trusted Zhang Lin, and although it felt unbelievable, she was relieved. Suddenly, Zhang Lin brought her to the place with the most extraordinary creatures...

Her previously normal black hair suddenly grew back, resembling sharp arrows, and began to reap the supernatural beings around her.

While fighting, he said, "Don't worry, I keep my word. You helped us through the crisis. Whatever you need, we'll definitely give it to you!"

"That's good."

Zhang Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then began to clear away the surrounding supernatural creatures at a speed even more efficient than Li Xinyue's.

Unlike Hope City, where a sudden appearance of a celestial being frightened away the beast tide, and with the Beast King dead and the tide dispersed, the beasts posed no threat to humans. The people of Hope City could then slowly clear out the surrounding supernatural creatures.

In Shashi, although the Beast King is dead, the beast tide has not yet subsided. The crisis cannot be considered over until most of the extraordinary creatures are killed.

Although the Beast King is dead, a great battle is still to come.

However, the current situation in the decisive battle is much better than anyone expected.

The Beast King died silently, though it stirred up a lot of water, it didn't attract anyone's attention. After all, the Beast King was an old bastard, and many people would ambush him from the water.

But as time went on, more and more people realized that no matter how they attacked the beast horde, the Beast King never appeared...

In addition, while fighting, Li Xinyue also spread the news of Zhang Lin's killing of the Beast King, which boosted morale. Soon everyone realized that the beast tide that they were so terrified of was actually dead!

This makes many people feel that it is somewhat absurd.

How could such a powerful beast king die so silently?

But this did not prevent the morale of the soldiers in Shashi from becoming exceptionally high.

However, things aren't going so well with the beast tide.

Although the Beast King is powerful, its main role is to lead the beast tide.

Without a leader, the extraordinary creatures fought each other in disarray, completely disorganized. With the constant slaughter of these creatures by experts like Zhang Lin, Li Shiyun, Li Xinyue, and Lin Lu, the beast tide quickly collapsed.

Without the Beast King as a deterrent, the instincts of the extraordinary creatures took over their minds. Sensing that the situation was not good, they also began to scatter and flee.

Although some supernatural beings escaped, most were still fighting. Not only humans were bloodthirsty, but wild beasts were too.

The battle lasted a long time, until dawn, when Zhang Lin felt his eyes were a little red before the battle finally ended.

A large number of the supernatural beings died, and only a little over nine hundred humans remained.

The mortality rate is over 60%.

But compared to everyone's initial estimate, the fact that more than 900 people survived is definitely the biggest victory.

We need rest after a great battle.

The corpses of extraordinary creatures scattered everywhere are treasures, key materials for improving strength, but no one bothers to even reach out and pick them up.

Everyone is resting.

Some ate, some drank, and Zhang Shukai continued to kiss the wounded, men and women, young and old, without any hurry.

A temporary camp had been set up, providing ample space for the survivors to rest.

Zhang Lin felt a bit tired, so he found an empty tent, crawled inside, and fell asleep immediately.

After he fell asleep, the little white cat quietly slipped in.

While Zhang Lin was fighting on the front lines, it watched from the rear. When it saw the giant rhinoceros being killed by Zhang Lin in one move, it was so scared that it almost wet itself.

It didn't witness the Beast King being killed in Hope City, but it saw it with its own eyes this time.

A beast king no weaker than it was killed by Zhang Lin in a single move!

How strong must he be?

Baihu felt fortunate that he hadn't acted rashly, but instead had infiltrated Zhang Lin's inner circle.

Looking at the sleeping Zhang Lin, Baihu was very tempted.

Zhang Lin is asleep now, so can it...?

It raised one paw, aiming at Zhang Lin's head, ready to strike at any moment. A tiger's paw is very powerful; if it were to strike Zhang Lin, it believed that his head would be turned into a rotten watermelon.

But the white tiger dared not slap him.

Although Zhang Lin was quite tired, it had been handling the previous battles with ease. It had witnessed firsthand that if it failed this time, it would be doomed.

After hesitating for a long time, Baihu finally decided not to make a move yet.

"Hmph, I'll let you live a little longer. Once you're truly weakened, I'll see if I don't mess with you!"

The little white cat tilted its head back, snorted inwardly, then lowered its paws, slowly walked to Zhang Lin's side, curled up, snuggled into Zhang Lin's arms, and fell asleep with him.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Zhang Lin woke up, tossed the sleeping white kitten in his arms aside, got up and walked out of the tent. It was already the afternoon of the following day.

He looked into the distance and saw that Li Xinyue had already begun organizing people to collect all sorts of extraordinary materials.

"It's over. I should go collect my payment now!"

Zhang Lin muttered something to himself and walked directly towards Li Xinyue.
