Amidst the series of system prompts, Lin Yi's mouth grinned wide enough to reach the back of his head.

At this moment, whether it was Jun Moqian or Orana who killed them,

those Red Gold Monkeys all counted as being killed by Lin Yi.

By the time all ten-plus Red Gold Monkeys had been slain, Lin Yi's inventory was suddenly filled with over twenty pieces of equipment and several pet eggs.

And the most important of this challenge: the Demon Core!

What surprised Lin Yi the most was that these pieces of equipment turned out to be sets.

Although he didn't look carefully,

Lin Yi could vaguely sense that these pieces of equipment were enough to complete a [Red Gold] set.

…

…

Until the last Monkey King was slapped to death by the Golden Behemoth, Ling Yuwei and others looked in shock at the scattered corpses everywhere, their astonishment evident.

Orana was even more incredulous,

"Were these all killed by us?"

These are the notorious Red Gold Monkey group in the Demon Forest, known to be the most troublesome!

She still found it hard to believe.

That with just a few of them, they managed to eliminate a Red Gold Monkey group.

Initially, when they encountered this group of Red Gold Monkeys, Orana had already prepared herself mentally for being beaten to death.

But what happened next was entirely beyond her expectations.

These monkeys, which made her scalp tingle, were so easily wiped out by their group.

She suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi and the Golden Behemoth beside him, her eyes filled with amazement.

By now, she was completely captivated by Lin Yi's endless variety of tactics.

As for Ling Yuwei,

Her feelings were much less intense.

After all, whether it was Lin Yi fighting the Divine King or the scene of the Celestial Tribulation, it was far more shocking than what was currently being demonstrated.

Feeling Orana's gaze, Lin Yi, still weak, leaned against an ancient tree, saying:

"I think you should now start collecting the monkey corpses and leave quickly."

Never mind that every Red Gold Monkey killed granted Lin Yi a Demon Core,

But in reality, that's just a system reward, not from the monkeys themselves.

What does this mean?

It means that as long as it's determined to be killed by Lin Yi, he can gain two identical Demon Cores.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't mention this.

Orana, reminded by Lin Yi, quickly snapped to it.

In the face of harsh reality,

The three women had no choice but to pull out a dagger to open the Red Gold Monkey's heads.

Then, they stifled their disgust to extract a bloody, finger-sized Demon Core from its head.

After a short while, the women's hands were stained with blood,

Even their clothes became disordered and messy.

This scene made Lin Yi, standing aside, feel a little embarrassed.

This kind of 'grunt work' should have been done by a man like him.

But the opposite was true.

With less than half an hour left before the end of the [Weakness] state,

Lin Yi, seeing hope, eagerly awaited the end of this half-hour.

Otherwise, this frail body was unbearable for Lin Yi.

While the women were collecting Demon Cores, Lin Yi wasn't idle.

He opened his backpack to check the attributes of the [Red Gold] set.

He found this set was actually made for close combat, and Lin Yi confirmed that the pieces could complete a set.

Regardless of the general properties of the equipment, the set attributes drew Lin Yi's attention:

[Crimson Gold Body]

Collecting 2 pieces activates: All Attributes +10%

Collecting 4 pieces activates: All Attributes +20%; Life Value +100,000.

Collecting 6 pieces activates: All Attributes +40%; Life Value +150,000; Damage Resistance +10%.

Collecting 8 pieces activates: All Attributes +100%; Life Value +300,000; Damage Resistance +18%; Adds Active Skill [Crimson Gold Body] Immune to damage for 3 seconds, Cool-down Time: 60 minutes.

Completing the set of eight makes you invincible for 3 seconds!

And the cool-down time is just one hour.

Compared to Lin Yi's other life-saving skills with cool-down times of one or two days,

Seeing these attributes made Lin Yi's eyes light up.

For close combat players, this set qualifies as a top-tier set.

Although the equipment is only Tier Six (Lv60), it can be used effectively until the level 80 demigod stage.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi's current equipment is a collection of top-notch individual pieces.

Lin Yi was reluctant to replace any of them.

So this set was not for Lin Yi.

However, if brought to Rafam Continent, whether given to Uncle Steady or to Speechless, it would be a great choice.

However, at this moment, the Golden Behemoth suddenly roared:

"Roar~"

This brought Lin Yi back to focus immediately:

"What's wrong, Xiao Hei?"

The Golden Behemoth looked towards the dim forest in the distance with a serious expression, saying:

"I feel many people are heading this way."

"Many people?"

Lin Yi was startled by this.

He glanced in the direction the Golden Behemoth indicated, then said to Orana and the others:

"Stop picking, we need to go."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Ling Yuwei didn't ask why.

Instead, she wiped the blood from her hands with her clothes and then came to Lin Yi's side with the magic staff.

At this moment, the Golden Behemoth lifted Lin Yi and placed him on its shoulder.

Lin Yi then pointed in a direction, instructing the Golden Behemoth:

"Go, Xiao Hei, this way."

Without a word, the Golden Behemoth quickly headed in the direction Lin Yi pointed.

Seeing this, Orana reluctantly glanced at the few Red Gold Monkeys on the ground that hadn't had their Demon Cores extracted yet.

Then she followed the Behemoth into the nearby shrubbery.

Shortly after Lin Yi and his group disappeared,

A group of dozens suddenly arrived.

Leading them was Regill, the representative of the Artifact Refiner Guild.

When they arrived and saw the scattered Red Gold Monkey corpses, gasps filled the air.

Regill scanned the chaotic scene with a puzzled, furrowed brow.

At this moment, someone ran over, saying:

"Most of the Demon Cores here have been taken."

"Judging from the scene, there shouldn't be more than five of them."

Regill looked at the traces on the ground, a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes:

"They can't have gone far."

"Let's go."
