The attendants and guards standing on both sides of the corridor did not pay any attention to Lin Ye, even though Lin Ye himself felt his current appearance was particularly unique.

"My name is Lin Ye, how should I address you?"

Lin Ye continuously absorbed the spiritual energy from the environment to Alienate this host body. Since the employer didn't need his help, he could focus his energy on other matters.

No employee would dislike this kind of employer.

"Xivia."

The young girl did not look back, merely walking calmly ahead of Lin Ye.

"Xivia, could you give me some flesh and blood materials? I want to enhance my body a bit."

The other party seemed quite wealthy, so Lin Ye thought about scamming some enhancement funds first.

"We are going to participate in a ritual now. Before entering the ritual site, you need to maintain your current state. After the ritual begins, I will get you some flesh and blood materials."

Xivia did not lead Lin Ye out of this building, but instead took him into another room.

The floor and walls of this room were carved with complex composite runes, and in the center of the room was a water-blue portal.

Xivia raised her left hand towards Lin Ye, and Lin Ye cooperatively used his right claw to catch Xivia's left hand. Just like that, the two of them entered the portal together.

The spatial teleportation ended quickly. Lin Ye used his mental energy to sense their surroundings. They had been teleported to the interior of a jungle, surrounded by towering trees hundreds of meters tall. The air in the jungle was very fresh, but Lin Ye noticed something amiss: he did not sense any animals nearby.

"What is this place? What are we going to do here?"

Lin Ye inquired about the work procedure from his employer.

"Don't casually use mental energy to sense the surroundings. In our circles, indiscriminate use of mental perception is a very dangerous behavior... I only know this is the ritual site. Ritual participants cannot be involved in the selection of the ritual site. Our task here is to kill all the other ritual participants."

Xivia looked at the surrounding trees. She didn't really like this kind of complex environment, but considering the cost of clearing this area, she decided to endure it for now.

"Really straightforward and simple."

Lin Ye Adapted to his new body. The spiritual energy concentration inside this jungle was extremely high, making it a very suitable environment for improving physical strength.

"Follow me."

Xivia led the way in front, while Lin Ye followed behind her, strengthening his body as he went. He was gradually getting used to the Tyrannosaurus rex body, having used it once before. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The two kept moving in one direction. Every so often, Xivia would use some kind of spiritual energy detection technique on the surroundings. In Lin Ye's view, this technique was practically blatantly announcing to the detected area: We are right here.

"Ah, there's a pair over there similar to us. Want to go check it out?"

Lin Ye had already enhanced his body to the first tier. The Tyrannosaurus rex's physical attributes were quite good and didn't overly affect Lin Ye's perception range.

"Fine, but don't do anything unnecessary."

The two headed in that direction and soon encountered the enemy Lin Ye had sensed earlier.

It was a young man riding on the back of a black lizard.

"Miss Xivia, I didn't expect to encounter you first. Can we talk first?"

The young man cautiously observed Lin Ye; it was his first time seeing such a strange short-clawed creature.

"You are?"

Xivia frowned and asked.

"...I originally wanted to help you, but now it seems, forget it."

The young man suddenly charged towards Lin Ye on his lizard. A barrier similar to a spiritual energy shield appeared between Xivia and Lin Ye. The young man seemed intent on dealing with Lin Ye first before handling Xivia.

However, before Lin Ye could even make a move, Xivia used some kind of compressed spiritual energy Piercing technique. With one move, she pierced through the spiritual energy barrier and blasted both the young man and the lizard into minced meat.

The young man's figure reappeared several hundred meters away, then gradually faded and soon disappeared.

"This is... leaving the ritual?"

Lin Ye sensed some kind of spatial fluctuations.

"Mhm, if the summoned creature dies, the ritual participant will be expelled outside the ritual site."

Xivia seemed somewhat dissatisfied that the young man had escaped. She continued using her detection technique, trying to find other ritual participants.

Lin Ye gathered the minced meat together, then used the meat to Alienate one Red Frog after another. These Red Frogs began spreading out around them, helping Lin Ye explore this area.

Xivia watched the Red Frogs with some curiosity. She reached out and grabbed one passing by, carefully sensing its internal structure.

"These Red Frogs can help us explore this area. If they find enemies, I'll take you there. Running around randomly will only waste energy. We might as well wait here for enemies to approach."

Lin Ye opened the Suitcase and found some items related to camping inside.

"Then I'll trouble you. Could you pour me a cup of black tea?"

Xivia also saw the things inside the suitcase. She hadn't expected Lin Ye to be so thoroughly prepared in advance, which made her think more highly of this strange creature.

"No problem."

Lin Ye spread a waterproof cloth on the ground, then used nearby trees to make simple tables and chairs.

The suitcase contained equipment similar to a portable gas stove, as well as high-grade tea leaves and utensils and materials for making desserts. Lin Ye used his two small claws to nimbly operate these utensils, soon placing tea and Dessert on the tabletop.

After pouring black tea for his employer, Lin Ye sat opposite Xivia and picked up the teacup in front of him with his claw.

"The tea brewing technique is a bit lacking, but the heat control and portioning are excellent."

Xivia took a sip of the black tea and gave her evaluation.

"Can't be helped. I almost never drink this kind of thing, and I don't usually brew tea for others either."

Lin Ye preferred more stimulating beverages, and he didn't like hot drinks, even in winter.

"I thought you liked black tea, which is why you prepared so thoroughly."

Xivia tasted a bit of the dessert; she really liked its portion size and sweetness.

"No, this suitcase produces things I need... probably something like that."

Lin Ye wasn't actually sure about the suitcase's function either. After all, it was a card item; it definitely wouldn't be as simple as just providing daily necessities.

"Oh? That's really interesting. Can I take a look?"

Xivia threw away the Red Frog she had pinched until its Eyeballs bulged out, and took the suitcase Lin Ye handed over.

Lin Ye could sense the movements of the distant Red Frogs. The Red Frogs were dying quickly, but at the same time, they were also seeking Parasitic materials to hatch more Red Frogs. This jungle wasn't devoid of animals; they were just relatively scarce and mostly lived in groups. So, the total number of Red Frogs was continuously increasing.

Just as the two were happily enjoying their morning tea, some enemies were approaching them and soon entered their field of vision.
