The battle between Qin Yan and the poor monster was overwhelmingly one-sided. Lin Shiqi continuously caused damage to the poor monster from a distance with thunderballs. When the sixth lightning ball hit, the poor monster could no longer support itself and collapsed with a loud thud. This time, it did not get back up. Its body remained motionless, its eyes slowly closed, as if it had passed out. It seemed that its recovery ability had reached its limit and could no longer continue to recover.
"We finally defeated it." Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling instantly lighter. The pressure of fighting such a fierce monster was too much for him to handle, and he never wanted to experience it again.
"Did we win?" Lin Shiqi cautiously tossed a few small lightning balls at the poor monster, confirming that it had no reaction. She was overjoyed and ran over to hug Qin Yan, planting a few kisses on his face.
"Okay, everyone is watching." Qin Yan pinched Lin Shiqi's cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed even though everyone around them had already assumed they were a couple.
"How did you manage to avoid being bitten by the monster?" Lin Shiqi let go of Qin Yan, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at him.
"Maybe I was lucky." Qin Yan casually replied, knowing full well that without the help of Dream Butterfly just now, he would not have been able to fight the poor monster. He looked at Dream Butterfly, who stood nearby looking slightly tired, and said, "Thank you, thanks to you, Dream Butterfly..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Dream Butterfly shook her head and said softly, "Don't thank me. It was your courage and adaptability that defeated it. You did great just now."
Qin Yan nodded gratefully at Dream Butterfly and fell silent.
At that moment, the other members of the special task force also approached. They were all overjoyed, constantly praising and complimenting Qin Yan, raising him to the sky. Gao Zhanxiang was in tears, saying that it was fortunate to have Qin as a brother, otherwise they would all have perished today. Qin, you are truly like a second parent to me, making Qin Yan very embarrassed.
"What should we do with this monster now?" Lin Shiqi asked.
"It's simple, inject it with a tranquilizer to anesthetize it, then get a large vehicle from nearby to transport it back." Gao Zhanxiang said, just then, a slightly surprised voice came from a distance:
"Oh, I didn't expect to encounter such a fierce beast as the 'poor monster' in a place like this."
"Who is it?" "Who's talking?" This voice was very unfamiliar, immediately arousing the alertness of everyone. They turned to look at the source of the voice, only to see a tall man in silver-white clothing, slowly walking towards them about thirty meters away.
"Who is he? Is he from another organization of ability users?" With doubts, everyone carefully examined the man. He was very tall, over six feet tall, with a handsome face that looked to be between thirty and forty years old. Although he was a man, his hair was very long, tied up like ancient people did, and his clothing was also very peculiar, a loose silver-white robe that did not look like modern attire. In addition, the man also held a shiny trident in his hand.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?!" Gao Zhanxiang felt that this man had malicious intentions and approached him with a spear in hand. The man in silver clothes stared at Gao Zhanxiang with piercing eyes and pointed towards the unconscious poor monster lying on the ground.
"Give it to me." The man in silver clothes spoke slowly, his voice sounding calm but with an undeniable sense of authority.
“Why should we give it to you? This monster was defeated by our hard work, it belongs to us.” Gao Zhanxiang's face was stern as he spoke coldly.
"Yours?" The man in silver clothes smirked, "Truly ignorant, arrogant, and selfish. Perhaps that's just the nature of people like you."
"What did you say? Say it again to my face?!" Gao Zhanxiang felt mocked and a hint of anger flashed across his face.
The man in silver clothes's eyes gleamed, "Leave this place before you get hurt—” he spoke in a threatening tone.
"Are you looking for a fight?" Gao Zhanxiang was truly enraged, he had never encountered such arrogance before.
"You are not even worth fighting against me!" The man in silver clothes looked down on Gao Zhanxiang from above, completely dismissing him.
"You bastard!" Gao Zhanxiang could no longer contain his anger, he raised his spear and charged at the man in silver clothes, thrusting the spear towards his body.
"You are overestimating yourself..." The man in silver clothes frowned slightly, effortlessly dodging the thrust and swiftly kicking Gao Zhanxiang in the chest. Gao Zhanxiang let out a cry as he was kicked to the ground, although he had body refinement abilities to protect himself, he still felt the unbearable pain in his chest, almost losing his breath.
"Gao Ge!" "Captain Gao!" The others rushed over to support Gao Zhanxiang when they saw him being attacked. However, Gao Zhanxiang shouted, "Don't act yet!"
Everyone stood still as Gao Zhanxiang slowly got up from the ground. He realized the man's strength was extremely powerful and cautiously asked, "Who are you, and why do you want this monster?"
"You don't need to know that." The man in silver clothes said coldly, "Leave now, don't hinder me here."
It was the first time Gao Zhanxiang had been treated so rudely. Shaking with anger, he thought he would show this arrogant person a lesson, even if it cost him his life. Suddenly, Qin Yan's voice came from the side, "Captain Gao, you're injured, let me help you fight."
Despite his anger, Gao Zhanxiang remained rational. He knew that engaging with the man in silver clothes would only bring disgrace upon himself. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Alright, be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with." Then, he stepped aside.
Qin Yan walked towards the man in silver clothes, who, upon seeing Qin Yan approaching, showed a contemptuous expression, thinking that a kid like him was not worthy of engaging in a fight with him.
Qin Yan exerted force under his feet, charging towards the man in silver clothes and slashing his sword towards the man's chest. The man in silver clothes coldly snorted, swiftly dodging to the side. At that moment, Qin Yan's sword turned in mid-air, tracing an arc and landing a slash on the man's chest with a "swish," tearing his clothes and leaving a shallow scar on his chest.
The man in silver clothes was incredulous, taking a few steps back and saying, "How... how is this possible?!"
Qin Yan's strike hit home, but he did not continue the attack. He thought that he had no grudge with the man in silver clothes and saw no need to fight to the death. It would be better to clarify the situation first. He said, "Although the monster is not ours, it is not yours either. Why do you insist on taking it away?"
The man in silver clothes's arrogance faded slightly as he slowly replied, "This monster is ferocious and stubborn by nature. Staying here will only bring harm to the world. I want to take it to where it should be, to prevent more people from being harmed."
Qin Yan nodded, having witnessed the brutality of the poor monster earlier. He understood the extreme danger posed by such beasts and how leaving them unchecked could harm many people. He asked, "Where do you want to take it?"
"Where it came from, it shall return." The man in silver clothes said indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Qin Yan was puzzled. "Do you know where this monster came from?"
"Yes, this monster is not of this world and should not remain here." The man in silver clothes said, carefully examining Qin Yan's face before suddenly remarking, "Young man, you seem very familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
