Zhang Feng was the first to react, raising his weapon and striking at the lizard leopard's neck once more. Surprisingly, the lizard leopard did not leap away to evade; it merely shifted its body slightly to avoid a fatal blow, then retaliated with a claw aimed at his abdomen.
If that claw landed solidly, Zhang Feng would either be disemboweled or severely injured. However, with his considerable combat experience, Zhang Feng managed to twist his body just in time, preparing to block the attack with his arm.
At that moment, Meng Xingchen reacted quickly, throwing a golden shield in front of Zhang Feng. Although the shield was thin and would shatter upon impact, it still mitigated some of the damage.
Bai Zhenzhen also activated her vines, pulling Zhang Feng away from the danger zone. She instructed him to take a potion while she charged forward herself. Lin Yao could have saved him, but seeing that he was not in immediate danger, she held back. It was time for her teammates to see some blood. After all, if they were overly protected, they would never understand their own strength and grow.
After the battle concluded, both Meng Xingchen and Bai Zhenzhen wore serious expressions, no longer carrying that carefree attitude they had when they first arrived.
"You all have made significant progress this time. From now on, you three will fight on your own; I will only assist you from the sidelines!"
This time, their attitudes were much more earnest. Once they were given the freedom to act independently, they became more cautious in their movements but struck with greater ferocity. Although they sustained occasional injuries, after three or four battles together, their coordination improved significantly. Their combat efficiency increased as well; it took them less and less time to defeat each beast.
That night, they found a safe house in a park and rested soundly through the night. The next morning, Lin Yao accompanied them to hunt third-tier beasts. Their efficiency had noticeably improved; they managed to take down a beast within just one morning.
During lunch break, Lin Yao said, "This afternoon I plan to hunt some beasts to find my breakthrough feeling. Do you want to observe nearby or find a place to rest for a while?"
The three of them replied in unison, "Captain! We want to observe!"
"If you reach your breakthrough threshold, we can provide support," Meng Xingchen added. "Besides, your combat skills are impressive; watching you might help us learn some techniques!"
"Alright then. If you feel rested enough, you can also hunt nearby."
After Lin Yao finished speaking, she took out a weapon from her spatial storage and aimed it at the beast before her. Her movements were simple and precise, without any unnecessary actions. With just one shot, and without even using her special abilities, she swiftly took down a Level Four beast.
Once the beast was dead, she quickly began to dismantle it. Her actions were as skilled and meticulous as a master butcher preparing meat, as if she had done this a thousand times before. After disassembling the beast, Lin Yao sorted the parts and packed them into boxes, storing them back in her spatial storage.
The spatial storage device was given to her by her mother before she turned ten. It wasn't very large, only about twenty square meters. Since it was bound to her, no one else could use it, allowing her to keep this small space. The larger the spatial storage, the more expensive it became. A twenty-square-meter device cost over three million ten years ago; now it had decreased slightly but still cost around two million.
Lin Yao considered upgrading to a larger one, something like Meng Xingchen's that could hold more items, but those devices often cost thousands or even billions. She didn’t have that kind of money yet, so she wasn’t in a hurry to change.
After killing the beast, Lin Yao hardly took a break before rushing toward the next one. With another smooth and fluid set of moves, she dispatched another Level Four beast in just a few strikes. At this point, she waved for the three companions to come over.
"Once I finish with this beast, you three will take turns dismantling it. When you can match my speed and precision in disassembling beasts, you'll be much more efficient in hunting them."
"That speed of yours is inhuman!" Bai Zhenzhen said, feeling somewhat discouraged and unable to hold back a sarcastic remark.
Lin Yao smiled at her and handed her a weapon from her spatial storage. "Trust me, with my killing speed, you'll soon develop that inhuman speed."
Bai Zhenzhen felt a chill at Lin Yao's smile but didn’t refuse the offer. Under Zhang Feng's guidance, she slowly began to dismantle the beast.
While they were working on that, Lin Yao didn’t wait for them; she charged toward another Level Four beast. After finishing it off, she sent them the location of the next target without caring about their progress and continued hunting.
Lin Yao had been on a killing spree all afternoon, while Meng Xingchen and the others followed her, dismantling the remains of their foes. By the end of the day, they were more exhausted from the disassembly than she was from the fighting.
That evening, they found another safe house to rest in. Meng Xingchen was so tired that he simply collapsed onto the ground.
"Boss, after killing all afternoon, don't you feel like you've leveled up at all?" he asked.
Lin Yao stroked her chin in thought. "Maybe the beasts here are just too weak. I killed them too quickly; I didn't feel anything at all."
The others were left speechless.
"Is this what top-tier arrogance looks like?"
Who else could boast about being a Level Three martial artist and a Level Four ability user, taking on Level Four beasts single-handedly? Not only that, but she had also killed over ten in one afternoon, while they struggled to keep up with the disassembly.
Of course, the only ones truly worn out were Bai Zhenzhen and Meng Xingchen, both of whom were rather useless in this situation. Zhang Feng was still in decent shape; he even had enough energy to cook some beast meat and energy rice for them.
"Captain, try eating more energy foods. Maybe it will help you level up," Zhang Feng suggested as he handed Lin Yao a bowl of rice.
"I want some too! I need to replenish my energy!" Meng Xingchen exclaimed as he caught a whiff of the delicious food and quickly sat up to serve himself a bowl.
Just as he was about to dig in, Bai Zhenzhen kicked him. "Do you have any sense of chivalry? Zhang Feng knows to serve the captain first; unlike you, who only thinks about yourself!"
Zhang Feng wasn't serving Lin Yao just because she was a girl! Despite his words, Meng Xingchen still handed his bowl to Bai Zhenzhen.
After finishing their meal, everyone felt a surge of energy and quickly began absorbing it. Lin Yao did the same; however, even though she absorbed energy, she still felt a lingering emptiness.
"Xingchen, can you ask if there are any high-level beasts in the area? I’d be willing to help them out for free," she said.
The beasts around Safe Star were all controlled by level; no beast could exceed a certain level.
The saying on Yunmeng Star was that once a beast surpassed that level, it could easily give rise to a leader-class beast. If not properly controlled and allowed to grow to a certain extent, it could command an entire planet and pose significant harm to its inhabitants.
