He instantly thought of the three unlucky souls whose tendons he had severed, leaving them as bait somewhere in the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems they sent out a distress signal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s how the command center found out I’d entered the Shadow Scale Race’s lair.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having figured it all out, Lin Ye’s tense body immediately relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming they were allies, he let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good thing I was fast enough to clean up all the Source Crystals on the ground.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye glanced down at the Galasha’s massive corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the only piece of loot he planned to take out of the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For humans, a lord-level Celestial Abyss Race creature like this was the definition of a walking treasure trove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was its sturdy Scale Armor or its sharp steel claws, they would definitely fetch a good price back at the Linchuan Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye walked over to the corpse and grabbed the Galasha’s thick tail with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hauled the massive, multi-ton carcass off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Star-Piercing Spear in his right hand, he began walking slowly toward the valley entrance, dragging the Galasha’s enormous body behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandstorm had almost completely subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visibility at the valley entrance was gradually clearing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Lin Ye saw a dozen or so soldiers in standard-issue black combat uniforms. They exuded a formidable aura as they prepared to enter the valley in a triangular formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of them emanated powerful fluctuations of Qi and Blood that far surpassed the Vein Opening Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gang Condensation Realm!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dozen or so soldiers were all powerful experts of the Gang Condensation Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Ye saw them, they also saw him emerging from the swirling sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s movements came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen pairs of sharp eyes snapped in unison toward the figure at the valley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, every one of their pupils contracted sharply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man, bare to his well-muscled waist and covered in gruesome scars and dried blood, walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left shoulder, chest, abdomen, and back had almost no patch of unscathed skin. The crisscrossing claw marks and cuts seemed to silently narrate the tale of a brutal, bloody battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his right hand, he held a black spear caked with grime and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Set against the backdrop of the swirling sand, the scene’s visual impact was impossible to describe with words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area fell into a dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen or so battle-hardened elites of the Ninghai Military, men accustomed to life-and-death situations and grand spectacles, were now frozen in place as if hit by a Body Fixing Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood with their mouths agape, their faces etched with an astonishment that defied description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We... are here on a rescue mission?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rescue who?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rescue... him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sandstorm abated, the leader of the rescue team saw Lin Ye’s grievous state and shouted urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Ye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Lingchuan strode forward, his perpetually stern face now showing deep concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you all right? Are you injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s gaze fell on the officer at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time they met was when he first arrived in the occupied zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, to this man, he had just been a cold code number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number 37.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he was calling him by his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lin Ye had no way of knowing that back at the command center, his name had already become famous in a single battle during that insect swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His subsequent instant takedown of the three men had further cemented his presence in the minds of Wang Lingchuan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Ye could answer, several medical Martial Artists carrying silver first-aid kits had already rushed over to surround him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were professional and swift. Various detection instruments, all flashing with faint light, immediately began scanning Lin Ye’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vital signs are stable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heart rate, blood pressure, Qi and Blood flow... all normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a large amount of non-self blood residue on his body, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A medic stared at the detector in his hand, then looked up at Lin Ye’s well-built torso, which was covered in gruesome scars but wasn’t even seeping a single drop of blood. His voice was filled with utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the scars... the subcutaneous tissue and muscles are intact!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no open wounds, not even... not even a scratch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached a conclusion that even he found absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, every member of the Ninghai Military present held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are you saying all the blood on this young man belongs to someone else?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And those terrifying scars on his body have actually healed completely?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the test results before them stated that this young man was perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How is that possible?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye felt a little guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A considerable amount of time had passed since the end of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Healing out of combat mechanic had long since restored his injuries, leaving him good as new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, his current condition was even better than when he had first entered the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>",992,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","b227b4d718b11e56f4bc055f607a2184a2fbbd645238b66e35fa18b1f409f20c","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-227","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-225",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
