The Flame Set is objectively good, no weaker than the Demon Set, but its compatibility with Lin Yu is far inferior to that of the Demon Set.
Lin Yu thought this way:
Of the four items, the headband and boots are 1-star and not very helpful to me. The remaining two are 2-star. The staff is useless to me, and only the battle robe is barely acceptable.
Lin Yu felt that the "protective light" effect of the battle robe was quite good; with this effect, Song Tianhuo managed to block two sword wheels.
Unfortunately, when worn alone, the protective aura can only be activated once per day. Lin Yu expressed his deep regret.
He glanced at the pair of fiery red combat boots, which seemed to have a peculiar smell about them. Well, Lin Yu definitely wouldn't wear those.
I'll sell the boots and the staff later.
As for the headband, we can reinforce it later. If it works, we'll keep it; if it doesn't, so be it.
Lin Yu planned to add them all to his inventory.
If anyone knew that someone had collected the entire set and then sold the pieces separately, they would probably be heartbroken and exclaim, "What a spendthrift!"
But Lin Yu didn't care. He would use it if it worked, and sell it if it didn't. It was that simple.
Watching Lin Yu collect his spoils, Gao Yang and Wang Xiaoran didn't disturb him.
After he finished everything, Wang Xiaoran ran out of the tree hole and smiled at him:
"Lin Yu, thank you."
Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, all the gloom in them vanished, and she looked at Lin Yu with gratitude.
"So, how do you plan to thank me?" Lin Yu almost blurted out, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:
"It's nothing, nothing to worry about. Wang Xiaoran, I'm just glad you're alright."
Wang Xiaoran immediately felt a surge of goodwill towards Lin Yu. Not only was he strong, but he was also so humble and not arrogant at all.
Of course, the main reason was that Lin Yu saved her when she was at her most desperate.
"Lin Yu, are you injured? Let me treat you," Wang Xiaoran said.
Lin Yu shook his head: "Unfortunately, Xiao Song couldn't hurt me."
Wang Xiaoran nodded and naturally offered words of praise:
"Lin Yu, I never imagined that someone my age could be this amazing. You've truly surprised and delighted me!"
Lin Yu was very happy and said modestly:
Where? Where?
"By the way, what did you just say? Could you repeat it?"
Wang Xiaoran: "..."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaoran said:
"Lin Yu, you've been fighting for so long, your mana must be depleted. Let me help you recover it."
Without saying a word, she gently placed her jade-like fingers on Lin Yu's wrist and transferred all of her magical power into Lin Yu's body.
Lin Yu's mana points were restored by 800 points in an instant. It felt really good!
It feels great to the touch.
Lin Yu didn't mind lingering for a couple more seconds, of course, just out of appreciation.
Beside him, Gao Yang coughed forcefully, his voice slightly sour, and said:
"Lin Yu, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
"Before we leave, let's clean up the battlefield," Lin Yu said.
The group cleaned up the battlefield. They had been rushing to rescue people earlier, and Lin Yu and Gao Yang had fought their way here without having time to collect the spoils of war. Now, after a careful search, they had managed to seize quite a few items.
There are quite a few 2-star items.
Lin Yu let Gao Yang and Wang Xiaoran choose first, and then put the remaining props into his inventory.
Gao Yang didn't stand on ceremony and took a pair of glasses, rated 2 stars, which were detection-type props.
Wang Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, but under Lin Yu's enthusiastic invitation, she still took a belt. It was rated 2 stars and could increase 50 points of spirit and 500 points of mana.
To be honest, Lin Yu would have liked to wear it if it weren't a pink belt with a bow.
After thinking it over, I decided to give it to Wang Xiaoran.
In order to win her over, or rather, as hush money.
Lin Yu killed Song Tianhuo, and if possible, he naturally didn't want the Song family to know. Who knows if the Song family would go crazy and retaliate?
Currently, besides himself, there are three other people who know the truth: the necromancer, Gao Yang, and Wang Xiaoran.
He'll get rid of the necromancer sooner or later. Of the remaining two, Gao Yang definitely won't leak the secret. As for Wang Xiaoran, it's hard to say. The best way is naturally to silence her.
But Lin Yu couldn't possibly harm innocent people, especially since Wang Xiaoran's family had helped him before.
In this case, the only option is to offer them benefits so that they can profit from this matter.
Throughout history, there have been countless examples of teams turning against each other due to unequal distribution of spoils. It wasn't that Lin Yu didn't trust Wang Xiaoran, but he was mainly just being cautious.
Lin Yu took several loudspeakers from the dead spirits.
It has been confirmed that this is a communication device. It has a main unit and can communicate with a speaker within a 10-kilometer range to transmit sound in real time.
From this perspective, the necromancer himself is not too far from here.
Unfortunately, it's still too difficult to find someone within 10 kilometers, and besides, who knows if he has gone far away.
Lin Yu tried shouting into the loudspeaker, and immediately heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, as if he were being frightened.
"Just wait, I'll reunite you with Xiao Song sooner or later." Lin Yu sneered, destroying the speakers one by one.
The sun had already set, and the sky was gloomy, soon to be completely dark.
The group decided to leave as soon as possible, and explore the Broken Mountain again tomorrow.
"Let's throw this body into the Broken Mountain," Lin Yu suggested.
The fabrication that Song Tianhuo and others died in Duanshan, and the fact that a group of people, oblivious to their fate, broke into Duanshan at night and were wiped out, has nothing to do with Lin Yu.
At the same time, it also prevents enemies from getting involved and ensures that necromancers do not obtain these corpses.
Furthermore, it would also allow us to probe the situation in the Broken Mountain, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop. Why not?
Without further ado, the group began moving the corpses. Even Wang Xiaoran, who never participated in combat or touched dead objects, carried one corpse in each hand.
