"I don't want your treasure! I'm not interested in burning lifespan, and what I need is bait, not treasure!"

When faced with the frightened Little Fire Fox, Lu Yanbie the harsher his words, the more reassured she would feel.

Li Yang perfectly captured the inner turmoil of the Little Fire Fox.

She really wanted to team Lu Yanbie, because only by teaming up could she hope to kill more popular players and win high rewards.

But she was also afraid of losing her Invincible Shield —after all, Lu Yanbie strengths were extremely formidable; what if he could instantly kill her?

However, Li Yang had no other choice.

Want greater profits.

That would mean facing greater risks.

Seemingly having figured this out, the Little Fire Fox finally steeled itself and removed its Invincible Shield.

Meanwhile, the audience watching this scene from outside the stadium couldn't help but hold their breath.

Li Yang had put them in a tense situation, unsure Lu Yanbie genuinely wanted to form a team or was deceiving Little Fire Fox.

Even Jiang Yuqing couldn't help but hold her breath.

His concerns were different from the audience's; he was worried that Li Yang would make a fool of himself.

What if Lu Yanbie really intends to kill and steal the treasure...?

Then there's no point in talking between those two!

Fortunately, Lu Yanbie was indeed not interested in the Invincible Shield.

He didn't attack Li Yang; he just looked at her with a smile.

"Are you relieved?"

"Senior, I'll make good bait and catch a big fish!"

Li Yang was relieved. If Lu Yanbie wanted to make a move, now was the best time to do so; there was no need to delay.

The fact that he hasn't taken action means that what he said is true.

Lu Yanbie wasn't interested in the treasure that could burn through lifespan; what he needed more was bait.

Lu Yanbie not only didn't dislike Li Yang's straightforward words, but actually found them refreshing.

They were not related at all; they came together because of mutual benefit.

Then there's no need to talk about those empty platitudes.

Li Yang had a clear understanding of her own position, which made Lu Yanbie even more fond of her.

The moment the two teamed up, their popularity soared.

Lu Yanbie, in particular, clearly rode on Li Yang's popularity, going from obscurity to breaking into the top 50 in one go.

Lu Yanbie a smile, "These tips are because I took advantage of you."

Li Yang: "Senior also saved me."

These words startled Lu Yanbie.

Jiang Yuqing, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but slap her thigh and exclaim, "Awesome! Absolutely amazing!"

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 2000 points.]

Li Yang's words referred to Lu Yanbie's killing of the seven-man squad.

While the two were locked in a stalemate, refusing to team up, even Lu Yanbie overlooked the matter, but Li Yang kept it in mind.

After she lowered her guard around Lu Yanbie, she promptly pointed this out, demonstrating her gratitude.

Lu Yanbie's feelings for her improved even more. He was also very frank, saying bluntly, "If you didn't have that defensive treasure, I wouldn't have saved you."

Li Yang nodded in agreement, saying, "If I didn't have the Invincible Shield, and I still dared to participate in Life-and-Death Battle, then I certainly wouldn't deserve to be saved."

The way this Little Fire Fox talks is so funny that Lu Yanbie couldn't help but laugh again.

"Your secret treasure is called the Invincible Shield?"

"Yes, I named it because it's truly Invincibility."

Lu Yanbie nodded and asked, "Is this imbued with the Laws of Heaven and Earth?"

Li Yang said, "I don't know. I found it in a secret realm. It took a lot of effort at the time, and I later discovered that it was practically indestructible."

Li Yang was telling the truth. Such extraordinary encounters happen from time to time in the Astral Realm.

Especially in secret realms, there's a chance of encountering various hidden treasures.

Some are naturally occurring treasures, while others were left behind by the Star Wielders after their deaths.

Such information is frequently circulated from the Astral Realm Auction House.

Lu Yanbie said dismissively, "You're lucky."

"Yes, I've always been very lucky."

Lu Yanbie couldn't help but laugh again.

Li Yang looked steadily at him and said, "I hope that meeting you was good luck."

Lu Yanbie a smile and said, "Don't worry, it's just good luck."

At this moment, Lu Yanbie would never have imagined the deeper meaning behind Li Yang's words.

Jiang Yuqing, who were watching from the sidelines, could hear what was going on.

Li Yang was implying Lu Yanbie could become a key witness in the massacre of the Nature Department 28 years ago.

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]

Sister Yang is truly amazing!

How can someone speak the absolute truth and still manage to completely fool people?

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie teamed up without wasting any time and immediately began searching for suitable teams to join the fight.

The secret realm for the Life-and-Death Battle is not large. With Lu Yanbie, a Sixth Grade Realm Peak Spirit Department, Heavenly Fortune Bearer, it is easy to select suitable candidates for luring.

The three-person team hasn't made any major moves for the time being.

Although Lu Yanbie could determine the number of people involved in the operation, there were many teams entering the Life-and-Death Battle, and it might not be just those three.

They also need to practice their teamwork and familiarize themselves with each other's fighting styles.

Lu Yanbie quickly identified a small team.

The opposing team was not as weak as the seven-person squad that besieged Li Yang. Among them were three Sixth Grade Realm Star Wielders, and the other three were all at the Peak Fifth Grade Realm.

Lu Yanbie looked at Li Yang seriously and asked, "Are you sure your Invincible Shield can withstand the fierce firepower of the Sixth Grade Realm Star Wielders?"

I'm sure!

"If you can't hold on," Lu Yanbie help but remind her, "You will die, and I won't save you."

"I don't need your help. If I can't even handle this, how can I talk about cooperating with you to take down the top-tier squad?"

"Alright." Lu Yanbie didn't hesitate any longer and said, "You can go and distract them. As soon as they start focusing their attacks on you, I'll take action and kill them."

Lu Yanbie was able to pinpoint the team's location, and all Li Yang needed to do was be discovered by them at just the right moment.

The contestants in the Life-and-Death Battle couldn't tell who was in front of them.

They would only see her as a lone, isolated person.

I might as well take these 1000 Star Coin that are already in my hands.

The enemy rushed forward quickly, but without saying a word, Li Yang raised her Invincible Shield and withstood the attack.

The appearance of the Invincible Shield is enough to make the Star Wielders in the Life-and-Death Battle become greedy and violent.

Originally, they might have just wanted a headshot fee, but now they are eager to acquire this powerful treasure.

Once they start relentlessly attacking Li Yang, it will be time for Lu Yanbie make his move.

Lu Yanbie indeed formidable. Facing six Star Wielders ranging from the Peak Fifth Grade Realm to the Sixth Grade Realm Middle Stage, he still managed to suppress them with his Spirit Department control, steadily keeping all six under control.

However, from Li Yang's perspective, it was clear that the Star Wielders at the Sixth Grade Realm Middle Stage still had some consciousness and was trying to resist.

At this moment, Lu Yanbie unleashed another area-of-effect killing move, instantly slicing several people in half at the waist.

This method is quite suitable for harvesting Star Plant, Li Yang thought expressionlessly.

Li Yang felt no sympathy whatsoever for those who were killed.

They, like the seven-man squad, were people who wanted to kill her.

If you have the greed to kill and steal, you should be prepared to be killed.

The two's first collaboration was so smooth and efficient that it delighted the audience.

Another wave of donations arrived, causing their popularity to soar once again.

However, others are also making efforts, and their rankings on the popularity charts have not seen a significant leap.

Jiang Yuqing only looked at Li Yang, paying no attention to any other perspectives. He stared at Lu Yanbie Star Skill for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh—

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

This veteran Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer is truly powerful.

Jiang Yuqing couldn't help but wonder. He cultivated using Shock Points, and Sister Yang used Slaughter Points, so what did this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer rely on?

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to find out.

Li Yang put away the Invincible Shield.

Lu Yanbie at her and said, "Your lifespan..."

"I know what I'm doing," Li Yang said. "As long as you can deal with them quickly, I can hold out until the end."

Lu Yanbie added, "Don't risk your life. What good is making a fortune later?"

Li Yang said calmly, "I know."

This Little Fire Fox is very stubborn, Lu Yanbie stopped trying to persuade it.

Everyone has their own pursuits, and once you have pursuits, you have to make trade-offs in certain areas.

For example, those who value their lives will spend money to buy their lives back.

For example, those who love money will risk their lives to make it.

Whether they can ultimately bear the cost... remains to be seen.

Li Yang and Lu Yanbie's teamwork was excellent; their move was a decisive blow.

No one in a Life-and-Death Battle can escape Li Yang's tactics.

They didn't have God's perspective, and everyone who knew was already dead.

The only major drawback is that the popularity of Li Yang and Lu Yanbie is constantly rising, which inevitably raises doubts.

The advantage is that their races are too common.

It's not entirely surprising that two dark horses suddenly emerged from the Firefox hybrid race.

As people keep leaving, people keep entering.

The popularity rankings have finally shown a stunning gap—

The seven members of the Tiger-Sheep Squad suddenly rushed forward and occupied the top seven spots on the popularity chart.

Their captain, in particular, garnered a popularity score of 5 million Star Coin.

Qing Teng had already given Li Yang information.

This team has a very ruthless tactic, which is why they are able to gain a lot of popularity.

The Tiger-Sheep Squad will initially raise pigs, and then massacre them on a large scale.
