I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

These 590,000 armor and 270,000 magic resistance are figures they could never have imagined in their lives.

A level 60 Abyss Tauren, after going berserk, swung his giant axe and slammed it down on a mage.

The mage thought he was going to die, but the giant axe struck him with a crisp clang.

The mage was unharmed; the minotaur's attacks didn't even have the chance to break through his defenses.

These people were completely stunned. They stared blankly at their powerful hands, then looked at Lin Yuan in the distance.

They finally understood that the lone shield warrior was not there to die, but rather a "god" beyond the comprehension of common sense.

Once shield warriors reach a high level, almost everyone has a skill that shares a percentage of defense, but none of them are as outrageous as Lin Yuan's skill!

That's hundreds of thousands of armor points! Is this because Lin Yuan himself has high defense, or because of the high sharing ratio?

They didn't know...

At this moment, Lin Yuan had completely fallen into the mode of being a meat grinder that could inflict damage upon himself.

Countless sharp claws, pointed fangs, and heavy weapons slammed into Lin Yuan's [Ten Thousand Devouring Dragon] armor set.

With each attack, Lin Yuan's body would flash with the dark purple defensive light of his equipment.

Lin Yuan's defenses were not breached at all; his health bar remained as stable as a mountain, and he did not suffer any loss of health.

Moreover, as the enemy attacked, Lin Yuan's true damage reflection effect was instantly triggered!

With the added benefits of his equipment, Lin Yuan's actual health was now as high as 832320.

One instance of damage reflection triggers, directly dealing 49939 points of true damage, ignoring any armor and magic resistance, and directly affecting the attacker!

Before long, hordes of monsters collapsed, coughing up blood.

Lin Yuan stood amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his expression very serious.

The notification sound on the panel kept ringing.

Lin Yuan gained 15000 experience points after a level 60 Abyss Minotaur died.

He gained 8000 experience points after a level 50 demonic bloodthirsty wolf died.

Lin Yuan stood still, watching the defense points and experience points on the panel steadily increase, although the amount of experience points increasing was relatively small.

The main reason is the shared defense, but this is actually to his liking, since he doesn't want to upgrade so quickly.

The other team members didn't want to see Lin Yuan suffer alone.

With their shared defensive buffs, they were now completely immune to the monster's attacks.

After the team members finished taking their medication and recovered some of their strength, they naturally joined the battle to help clear out the monsters.

This scene completely stunned Zuo Tiancheng, who had been observing from the shadows.

Zuo Tiancheng was already prepared to rescue the people and had even summoned the phantom of his beast.

But now, he looked at Lin Yuan, who stood still and killed a whole bunch of high-level monsters with just his counter-damage.

Looking at the nine team members charging recklessly through the beast horde while protected by shared defense, Zuo Tiancheng felt his worldview crumble; his years of combat experience proved useless at that moment.

Even for a level 75 Beast Tamer, the armor of his strongest battle pet probably doesn't even match the amount Lin Yuan shared.

Therefore, Zuo Tiancheng planned to observe from the shadows first, just making sure that these people were not seriously injured.

Then time passed little by little, and more and more magical beasts fell around Lin Yuan.

After the last Abyss Minotaur fell, the battle finally ended, and Lin Yuan began to count the spoils of war.

Cola Novels always has a story waiting for you to open.

More than a hundred abyssal minotaur crystal cores, radiating intense energy fluctuations, were scattered on the ground.

There were also more than two hundred demonic cores of mutated bloodthirsty wolves, emitting a faint glow.

In addition, there are a large number of hard bull horns and wolf teeth, which are the basic materials used to make high-level equipment.

There were also more than a dozen pieces of silver and gold-grade equipment materials on the ground, as well as herbs and ores that were unique to the abyss.

After the battle, Lin Yuan opened the panel to check his specific gains.

In this battle, Lin Yuan gained a whopping 160 million experience points, instantly raising his level from 40 to 41!

等级：40（0\/90万）-> 41（70万\/95万）

Meanwhile, the panel showed that he had gained a total of 35600 defense points.

Defense points: 245610!

It has to be said that if you want to increase your defensive points, you still need a small beast tide. Just this one wave has brought him so many defensive points.

It's a pity that experience points can grow at a slower pace.

The nine members of the team put away their weapons, quickly walked up to Lin Yuan, and expressed their gratitude to him.

"Thank you for saving us, brother. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead here today," the squad leader said earnestly.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "I want to continue training here and delve deeper."

"I plan to find out what caused the small-scale beast tide. What are your plans next?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zhao Qian said in a low voice, "We plan to take our comrade's body back to the city."

These ten people were also tasked with investigating the cause of the beast tide, but this was the result.

Zhao Qian explained, "Recently, for some reason, several small areas in the Northwest battlefield have all experienced small-scale beast tides."

"These frequent riots are very abnormal; it's as if someone is plotting something. We must bring this message back."

After listening, Lin Yuan fell silent, and finally said, "Then you must be careful on your way back."

Lin Yuan opened his storage space, took out some recovery potions from his body, and gave some to them.

This is all Lin Yuan can do right now. He can't possibly go back with these people now; it would be too much of a waste of time.

Moreover, he knew that there was another person following him in the air, and that this person was a beast tamer. He happened to know this person, and perhaps this teacher would send a beast tamer to protect them on their way back.

Seeing this scene from the air, Zuo Tiancheng sighed inwardly.

This is the fate of soldiers on the border; death is the norm, and people die every day.

They were lucky to run into Lin Yuan this time; otherwise, the ten-man team would probably have been wiped out.

Zuo Tiancheng secretly summoned a dark-type beast, a level 70 Shadow Panther.

Zuo Tiancheng ordered the Shadow Leopard to follow them in the shadows and escort them safely back to the city.

Lin Yuan bid farewell to the team and continued his journey deeper into the canyon.

Along the way, Lin Yuan encountered a few monsters, but he didn't take the initiative to attack; he just let them hit him.

Some monsters, after being attacked a few times, realized they were losing a lot of health and turned to run away.

Lin Yuan immediately activated his taunt skill, increasing the amount of hatred directed at him.

The monster, under the control of the taunt, could only turn around and continue to attack him until it was killed by the counterattack.

As they approached the heart of the canyon, Lin Yuan heard a burst of intense battle explosions.
