All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Can you hear me? Are you in position over there?"

Lin Qiu glanced at the team voice chat in the lower right corner and responded, his gaze fixed on the blurry figure amidst the smoke in the distance.

If we get any closer, we'll be within the Shadow of Dying's detection range; it's time to prepare to make our move.

"We're in position at intersection A, and Liu Yu can be summoned at any time."

"The situation at intersection B is also fine now."

"I can already see the Boss from here, let Liu Yu start."

"understood."

Upon hearing Lin Qiu's instructions, Ying Ziyan also looked at Liu Yu, who was flipping through an ancient book.

In contrast, Chu Ning on the other side was quite busy, constantly pacing back and forth nearby with the Crystal Knight Lance in hand, keeping watch for any possible accidents.

"Liu Yu, we can begin now. We can already see the dying shadow on Lin Qiu's side."

"However, if Lin Qiu summons so many creatures as requested, my magic power might not be enough."

Liu Yu frowned as she looked at the various monsters in her books.

Judging from his own magical power, he could only summon less than half of the number Lin Qiu requested.

"Don't worry, Lin Qiu already prepared this for you."

Ying Ziyan rummaged through her backpack and handed over dozens of bottles of mana-restoring potions.

"This is?"

"A superior magic potion, enough for you to repeatedly summon those high-quality demons. Let's begin."

"Huh? Ah—I know."

Seeing Lin Qiu's generous gesture, Liu Yu was stunned, and her hand trembled slightly as she accepted the gift.

Although they had dealt with some adventurers and plundered nobles and gentry before, they had never seen so many high-level potions.

Lin Qiu, this alchemist, is far more wealthy than I imagined...

Chu Ning, standing to the side, looked at the mana recovery potions that Liu Yu could barely hold, her eyes gleaming with intense desire.

Just how many good things does Lin Qiu have left?

While she was pondering how to get closer to Lin Qiu and provide assistance for her plan to restore her kingdom, Liu Yu on the other side was also frantically summoning demons without delay.

"O beings who have forsaken God's guidance, listen to the prayers of the fallen..."

"This loading time is longer than a pet store."

Hearing the sounds coming from the other end of the voice call, Ze Zhi couldn't help but smack her lips.

As expected, NPCs have more limitations than players' hidden skills.

"It might not be suitable for the arena, but it's still pretty effective against bosses. We can get ready to make our move."

"okay."

Ze Zhi also silently took out his own chain and stood side by side with Lin Qiu.

While there was still some time, she couldn't help but ask—

"You and Yunmo only held hands in the room?"

"if not?"

"That's good."

"Um???"

"Ahem—I'm worried that if you suddenly become aggressive and try to force yourself on Yunmo, she might kick you to pieces."

Realizing she had misspoke, Ze Zhi quickly explained, turning her head away somewhat guiltily.

I thought this guy and Qin Yunmo had progressed to some terrible point, but it seems that's alright now, there's no need to worry.

"It's not that bad. I already said I'm not in the mood for... dating right now."

At this point, Lin Qiu's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of the class monitor with her ears turning red with embarrassment, and his tone involuntarily faltered.

Seeing that this guy was obviously thinking about other women, Ze Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

And you say you have no ill intentions towards Qin Yunmo!

"Ahem—let's not talk about that anymore. Let's think about how to escape later. I've laid so many traps along the way. If that thing doesn't run with us, we'll be in big trouble."

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? I joined a group once before, and they basically just followed the target of the mockery."

"Don't forget, the speed at which the intelligent technology is being popularized in 'Karakuri' is getting faster and faster. Last time was last time, but this time there may be other changes, so we need to be prepared."

"Hey—how do we get it?"

Zezhi blinked, looking at Lin Qiu with a somewhat blank expression.

"You should have learned 'Soul Binding Technique,' right?"

"It's maxed out. It feels pretty good to control, but the damage is a bit low."

"I'll engage the mob in a bit. You stand to the side. As soon as that charging mob spawns, immediately use 'Life-Taking Binding' to entangle it and drag it over. Remember, don't interrupt the skill prematurely; just keep it active until the skill ends."

"Huh? But this won't save us much distance..."

"You'll know then."

Lin Qiu didn't explain anything in detail, his gaze fixed on the faintly visible dying soul in front of him.

Sure enough, when luring out the charging minions, you still can't let them trigger the traps you've laid, so you can save them to deal with other summoned creatures.

"Lin Qiu, Liu Yu's side is fully prepared, we can start now."

"learn!"

Lin Qiu responded, and the moment he finished speaking, the two of them immediately split up and rushed toward their target.

As he sprinted forward, Lin Qiu's body slightly twisted, and his "avatar" instantly detached from his main body, rushing towards the dilapidated figure in the center of the battlefield like the wind.

The tattered armor, weathered by countless years, trembled slightly, and the illusory figure beneath it swayed abruptly before its crimson eyes locked onto the "avatar" before it.

Before it could react, the "avatar" suddenly leaped high into the air, and in the instant its right hand rose, a brick appeared and mercilessly slapped onto the dying soul's face...

138 - Remember to turn off in-team voice chat...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp crack, the brick shattered, reducing the meager amount of health lost and instantly drawing the dying soul's hatred firmly to the "avatar".

The dying soul's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the moment its gaze locked onto the "avatar," a strange black mist suddenly emanated from its body.

Accompanied by mournful howls, a figure clad in tattered heavy armor slowly emerged from the black mist, its long spear pointing directly at the "avatar" in mid-air, exuding a chilling aura—

"For my lord! Charge into battle..."

"Ding-"

Before its terrifying roar could even spread, two chains unexpectedly wrapped around its neck.

The next second, the newly summoned charging minions trembled, their vision blurred, and they were instantly pulled to the other side.

"Scammer! Caught!"

The moment Zezhi's voice rang out, a large hand silently wrapped around her waist.

Before she could react, Lin Qiu had already pulled her into his arms, and with all his speed-boosting abilities activated, the two of them instantly rushed dozens of meters away.

Watching helplessly as his summoned servant was dragged away like a pig, the dying soul was completely stunned.

Before he could come up with any countermeasures, the "avatar" in front of him suddenly trembled and instantly transformed into Qin Yunmo's appearance.

The crimson drill, without a second thought, mercilessly hammered into the dying soul's face...

Hearing the skill sound effects coming from behind, Lin Qiu knew that the class monitor had already started to make his move. His eyes were fixed on the passage that was rapidly closing in front of him, and he silently kept track of the countdown of "Life-Taking Binding".

The moment the chains were opened, a long spear pierced the chest of the charging monster with deadly precision.

A terrifying force emanated from the other end of the gun. As Lin Qiu put Ze Zhi down, he swung the gun violently, slamming the charging monster onto the ground on the other side.

The recoil force lifted it into the air, and the two feet kicked it in the chest almost simultaneously.

"call out--"

After watching the monster fly horizontally and land in the pre-set ambush, the two turned around and rushed to support Qin Yunmo without looking back.

As Xiao Guai landed with a "thud," before he could even get up, three figures gradually enveloped his body.

"The tricks of the weak are nothing in the light of our Lord..."

The charging monster stood up again while yelling, but when it saw the dense swarm of monsters emerging from the mountain behind it, the words it was about to say were stuck in its throat.

The eerie silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, until all the monsters' gazes were fixed on the little monster, at which point it became extremely uneasy.

Without even thinking, he turned his head, and before he could take a step, a greatsword wreathed in flames was already cleaving down from above his head...

"They've already made their move, so why haven't we done anything yet?"

Alice couldn't help but mutter to herself as she gazed longingly at the area shrouded in mist in the distance.

I always feel like I don't have anything to do here.

"The health isn't high enough yet. The Soul of the Dying still has a lot of health. Take it slow, no need to rush."

Xiao Xi, standing to the side, lazily offered an explanation, while her gaze lingered on Alice with considerable interest.

With intelligence reaching this level, even if the "wall" is breached, there will be fewer enemies, right?

Hopefully, Lin Qiu can step up his game and take down these guys soon, which will increase our chances of winning.

"Oh right, I was just about to ask, Xiaoxi, are you related to Lord Lin Qiu?"

Alice's sudden question drew Qi Xi's attention back to her.

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"Just now in the cabin, you and Lord Lin Qiu seemed quite intimate..."

Alice looked Qi Xi up and down, and only after confirming that her childlike size posed no threat did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Originally, Lin Qiu's three teammates had all transformed into women, which greatly increased the threat he posed to him. However, the little boy in front of him should not pose any danger.

"Hmm—I guess so? I'm his...sister, yes! Is there a problem?"

With a "let's have some fun" attitude, Qi Xi casually agreed without thinking.

"Ahem, can I ask you a quick question? Just a casual one."

"Go ahead and tell me. Although I don't know much, I will try my best to answer you."

"Miss Qin Yunmo... is she dating Lord Lin Qiu?"

"Wow - if you ask that, I'm not sleepy anymore."

Upon hearing this question, Qi Xi's listless spirits suddenly lifted, and she quickly sat up straight.

"As things stand, the two of them have not officially confirmed their relationship, and both have said they are not interested in dating or anything like that."

Recalling the information Zezhi provided when she asked about the two of them, Xiaoxi repeated it word for word.

"That's good......"

"But! Although we're not officially related, things are definitely not going well on a regular basis!"

"Hmm? Please tell me more about it!"

Upon hearing that things weren't going well, Alice's heart sank. Had she been outmaneuvered?

"Just a short while ago, when I came to see them, the two of them were in the same room, snuggling together, holding hands so tightly! If we hadn't gone there, they might have even gone further!"

"Go one step further?!"

"A man and a woman alone in a room, what's the point? They'd have to do something more exciting, right? Get intimate, and things will just naturally progress! Then during the day..."

Alice's pupils dilated violently, and she almost fainted from the shock.

No wonder Lord Lin Qiu is always missing for a while every day; turns out he's out having a secret rendezvous with that philandering cat!

"Please be careful, I can hear you."
