Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

When Yinghuan saw the saber-toothed tiger running away, he immediately chased after it. As soon as he entered the woods, the saber-toothed tiger disappeared, leaving only traces of its escape.

"Damn it! He runs so fast!"

Just as he was about to follow the trail, a red cat-like female suddenly appeared from behind him, stopped in front of him, and looked at him anxiously.

"Hey! Hey! Have you seen a cat with long teeth, meow!"

The appearance of the cat-woman in front of him startled Ying Huan. This cat-woman is so beautiful, but with my calm heart, how could I fall for her? This must be the charm technique that the master talked about.

"Cat? Long teeth? Oh! A saber-toothed tiger! Who is it to you?"

"Hey! Cat, I have something to look for him, have you seen him, meow!"

"Based on the traces, it should have gone that way..."

Yinghuan raised his finger and pointed in the direction the saber-toothed tiger escaped. A red light flashed and the cat-woman disappeared into the jungle.

"Hello! Have you seen the two cats? I'm looking for them."

The sudden voice behind him startled Yinghuan's heart. When he turned around, his heart beat faster and his brain crashed instantly. Is she my destined goddess?

A cute girl with long aqua blue hair draped behind her, a delicate face fair and pretty, and the same height as him stood behind him, exuding a charming fragrance and having a neutral voice.

This... could this be the legendary love at first sight!!! This made Ying Huan's silent heart stir for the first time. He immediately straightened his clothes and hairstyle, and elegantly performed the etiquette he learned from the nobles.

"Hello! My name is Yinghuan, beautiful girl. Are those two cats your pets?"

Dong Yu looked at Ying Huan with a strange expression. Is this guy okay?

"My name is Dong Yu, um... I guess so!"

"They went over there. I heard there are Chimeras active nearby. Let me escort you to find your pet! Please allow me to offer my humble help!"

Dong Yu felt speechless for a moment. He simply ignored this strange swordsman and chased in the direction of Irelia.

"This... is this the legendary 'tsundere'? So cute! Master, I finally found it! Don't worry, I will bring my disciple's wife back to you as soon as possible!"

Yinghuan secretly followed Dong Yu where he ran.

……

"Shit! Why is that idiot following me? This reminds me of someone who once did the same thing..."

The corners of Dong Yu's mouth twitched helplessly. As an assassin, he had long detected the shadow that had been following him, but every time he turned around, the guy always hid.

Not long after, Dong Yu felt a powerful magical fluctuation ahead.

"What is this? Irelia's magic. Let's go and take a look."

Dong Yu no longer paid attention to the phantom behind him and quickened his pace to run in the direction of the magic fluctuations. The magic fluctuations became stronger and stronger. Dong Yu pushed aside the grass in front of him, and a huge magic circle appeared in front of him.

In the center of the formation, there was a saber-toothed tiger being pressed to the ground with its belly facing up by a group of stone men. It was desperately shaking its head and was looking at Irelia with an evil smile on her face as she slowly walked towards it.

This made Dong Yu have a strange idea in his mind. His face turned red for no reason and he turned around silently. Someone who had been following Dong Yu saw this scene and his blood boiled.

"Ah! She's shy! So cute!"

Gradually the magic power faded away, and Dong Yu looked back again. The magic circle, the stone man and the saber-toothed tiger were all gone, leaving only Irelia walking towards him with a satisfied look on her face.

"Dong Yu? Why are you here meow?"

"My sister said you were chasing a cat, so I followed her to see! I didn't expect you to finish the job so quickly, Irelia, you're so open-minded! You actually did it in the wild, and you used force, hehehehehe!"

Dong Yu looked at Irelia with an ambiguous expression, and Irelia immediately got angry and stomped her feet in frustration.

"Aiya! What are you thinking about, meow! No matter how brave I am, I will never do such a thing in the wild! It would be so embarrassing if someone saw me. It's okay if it was a human, but if a goblin saw me, I would be so ashamed that I would be ashamed!"

"Then you just..."

Dong Yu raised his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you talking about, meow! I want to sign a contract with it and make it my magical beast, meow!"

"Hey, hey! Is that so? Let's go back then!"

Dong Yu scratched his head and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly. Irelia was too lazy to argue with him, so the two of them walked back. Someone not far from them had already fallen into an excited state.

"Ah! I can't stand it! It's so cute!!!"

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

After Dong Yu left, Ling Feng and others began to prepare camping tents and dinner. Rita took the initiative to announce that she would prepare dinner.

Seeing the positive Rita, Alice suddenly became motivated and announced that she would prepare dinner together. So the chef for tonight was decided.

Ling Feng and Ku Le were responsible for collecting firewood from everywhere, and the others also had their own responsibilities.

Ling Feng and Ku Le were both waiting for this opportunity, so it could be said that this mission was something they had been longing for.

"Cool, would you consider joining us again?"

Ling Feng spoke to Cool beside him with a serious expression.

"I also know that we are a rookie team and may not be able to bring you much benefit. After this breakthrough, I have become more aware of the shortcomings of our team."

Ling Feng sighed somewhat dejectedly, then continued speaking firmly.

"Rita needs someone to protect her. Although Wu Ke La has strong defense, its offensive ability is insufficient. Although I am an offensive mercenary, I am a novice with little experience. Even if we can still grow and become stronger slowly, our team does tend to prefer magic attacks. If we encounter an opponent with strong resistance, we will be in a difficult battle."

Cool never expected that Ling Feng, as a newcomer, could already consider so many things.

"Ling Feng, as a newcomer, aren't you thinking too far ahead?"

"No, I don't think so. I'm the captain. I have to think about these things. This is my responsibility."

"But you haven't been in the guild for half a year, right?"

"Even so, I still don't want to think about countermeasures when the problem occurs. After all, I'm not that smart and can't think of countermeasures immediately when the problem occurs! I'm just an ordinary person, still a newcomer, and dealing with problems on the spot is not my forte!"

Cool stopped and looked at Ling Feng with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Ling Feng smiled bitterly, with a hint of regret, resentment and helplessness in his tone.

"Last time, because of me, because of my negligence, because of my lack of consideration, Rita almost died at the hands of the goblins! If I had given more thought at the time, Rita wouldn't have suffered such a fate! So I can't do this again!"

Ling Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling extremely regretful for his last negligence.

"I have to think about what might happen and avoid the worst that can't be undone! If one day is not enough, I will think about it for a month. If one month is not enough, I will think about it for a year. If one year is not enough, I will think about it for the rest of my life! I can't let Rita be in that kind of danger again!"

Cool stared at Ling Feng silently. He had experienced similar things before. He was also a newcomer at that time and he was also in a newcomer team.

He was ill and did not participate in that mission, and it was during that mission that an irreparable accident occurred and the entire team was wiped out.

Cool only heard afterwards that the reason their team was wiped out was because of a lack of consideration. All members did not wear the Fire Spirit Protective Cloth, and as a result, they all died under the flames of the fire lizard.

“After that, I kept thinking about how I could do better and what I had to do in different situations.

Our team is currently lacking in physical attack capabilities and mobility, so we need a melee physical attack mercenary. Cool, if you are willing to join, I will satisfy you no matter what the conditions are, as long as I can do it!"

"Since you've said this, well, I'll put forward my conditions!"

Ling Feng was stunned when he heard Cool's response. He stared at Cool without reacting. Cool smiled back.

Although he knew that with Ling Feng's luck, there would be many benefits for him to join his team, but since it was a new team after all, Cool was still a little hesitant. However, Ling Feng's words made Cool feel good about this newcomer.

"Cool music? You agree?"

Cool smiled kindly again and did not deny it.

"That depends on you agreeing to my conditions!"

Ling Feng swallowed his saliva and responded to Cool in a stiff tone. He didn't know what Cool would ask for, nor what price he would have to pay for that promise. But as long as it wouldn't embarrass Rita, other conditions were negotiable!

"Cool, please state your terms!"

"Okay, I have no problem joining your team. However, for missions involving me, I don't need to give up other things, but all the forging materials I obtain will belong to me!"
