What are you doing bowing to my hero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's neck turned red with embarrassment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei's behavior was lowering the status of a lord,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and he wondered if it would affect his image in Silvia and Elodie's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgling sounds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>came from her stomach, and Bai Bai Xiaowei looked up with a sheepish smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's eat first, let's eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu quickly broke the awkward atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Bai Bai Xiaowei patted her full, round belly and lay contentedly on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to move anymore, I'm going to sleep, good night…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mumbled, closing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Great Su Yu…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu shook his head and carried Bai Bai Xiaowei to the bed in the Hero Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu, holding Silvia, woke up early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because you were restless while sleeping, Silvia's loyalty +3, current loyalty: 89.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory prompt sounded, indicating that Silvia had woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guiltily pulled his hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the fifth day, and Su Yu was full of energy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because Silvia had reached level 10, and Elodie was at level 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, to subdue the Dark Flame Dragon!\" He stood on the mountain top, shouting down to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just, just the four of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Su Yu, do you really have no troops?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei was very timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by the four of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we two have any combat power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's them two, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's words made Bai Bai Xiaowei look at Silvia and Elodie in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Silvia might be a legendary hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if Elodie was also a legendary hero,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>attacking a level 15 epic leader would still be a suicide mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were very pretty, being pretty doesn't equate to strength, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Su Yu, a level 15 epic leader probably has 1000 combat power…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei said weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what?\" Su Yu strode forward, with Silvia and Elodie guarding him on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does \"so what\" mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you understand what 1000 combat power means?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can easily destroy half a city!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ten-kilometer territory could be flattened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's nonchalance left Bai Bai Xiaowei speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it confidence or ignorance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were anyone else,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei would have mocked the other person's ignorance without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this person was Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Su Yu was not an ignorant person,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so there was only one other option left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the buildings and arrow towers in the territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei walked, her steps gradually becoming light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also gained confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although facing a level 15 epic leader, such confidence was absurd,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Su Yu had given her confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylph's \"Gale Blessing\" was cast on everyone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the four of them moved swiftly, leaping several meters with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Su Yu and Bai Bai Xiaowei as burdens,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group arrived near Bai Bai Xiaowei's territory in just two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It took me a whole day to get here yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei marveled, under the effect of \"Gale Blessing,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>running 50 kilometers without sore legs or numb feet, feeling incredibly comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a legendary hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of skill is truly convenient and satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lush green valley, weeds grew profusely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with sparse trees, each one standing alone every few dozen meters, looking quite lonely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black dragon lay in the valley, sound asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an epic leader,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it had never moved since descending here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reckless beasts dared to approach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a radius of several thousand meters, except for Bai Bai Xiaowei's territory, no living creature could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It kept its eyes closed, with its wings drawn in,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and even its breath scorched the ground in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its coiled body was already ten meters high,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clearly surpassing a small house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only imagine how majestic it would look when fully stretched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the overly close mythical aura woke it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its crimson eyes shone with a captivating luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two spectators, Su Yu and Bai Bai Xiaowei, hastily retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had come here to witness an epic-level boss monster,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and if they were caught in the crossfire and accidentally died, it would all be for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei was still okay; her territory was nearby, and she still had a chance to see the epic battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Su Yu died and returned to his territory, he would have no such opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your territory is going to be wiped clean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu, seeing the massive dragon rise to its feet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knew that the battle might affect an area of several miles around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already sent my hero to lead the troops and peasants to safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in Bai Bai Xiaowei's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was the newbie protection period,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>during the seven days of newbie protection, only the lord's crystal, troop buildings, and the hero hall were invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any other building could be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hard-earned, frugal farmhouses, trading posts, and arrow defense towers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would surely be lost in the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already the fifth day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the newbie protection was about to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All new lords would soon face the test of the monster wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster wave would arrive at dusk on the seventh day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Su Yu, you must help me defend against the monster wave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei's voice carried a hint of sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew that asking Bai Bai Xiaowei to rebuild a territory capable of withstanding the monster wave within two days\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was indeed too much to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, her troops were non-combatant support units—nuns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arrow zipped through the air, carried by the wind at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the wind surrounding the arrow took on a color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green wind, carrying immense power, infused into the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clear sound, the arrowhead pierced the black dragon scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylph had taken the initiative to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon's roar shook the wilderness, and the battle began instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind pressure made it hard for Su Yu to keep his eyes open,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the deafening roar completely robbed him of his hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Bai Bai Xiaowei lay in the grass,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and their experience watching this epic battle was extremely poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I have any cultivation, I shouldn't get involved in such things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally wanted to broaden his horizons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but he found that level was far beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it stood right in front of him, it would be hard for him to even take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With light as the sword and wind as the arrow, slay the [Dark Flame Dragon]
