We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 37 Red Wolf Buck

The other four mercenary group members heard the commotion.

They all turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Lin Qi, and roared as they pounced on him.

Lin Qi remained unconscious, relying solely on instinct to weave through the crowd with agile movements, avoiding all attacks.

His dagger flashed again and again, each strike hitting a vital spot with pinpoint accuracy, and screams echoed throughout the canyon.

A mercenary wielded a longsword and thrust it toward Lin Qi's back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Lin Qi dodged the attack in a flash, and at the same time swung his knife back, slashing the back of the man's neck. Blood gushed out, and the mercenary fell to the ground with a thud.

Another mercenary tried to ambush him from the side, but Lynch dodged to the side, pressed his dagger against the man's chest, plunged it in, and then quickly pulled it out.

Blackish-red blood splattered on his clothes, but he showed no reaction, his eyes still empty, as he continued to charge toward the next mercenary.

Yata hid in the purple mist, her eyes fixed on Lin Qi's movements, her scrutiny growing stronger.

She could tell that Lin Qi's actions were not deliberate, but rather a deep-seated fighting instinct.

And the more you look at these movements, the more they resemble a cat?

Yata was surprised by her own strange idea.

Moreover, he absorbed the purple mist at an increasingly faster pace, and his aura grew richer and richer, yet it never leaked out, as if the purple mist was an integral part of his body.

In a short time, all four mercenary members collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The pollution within them, the purple mist, all poured into Lin Qi's body.

Lin Qi stood motionless in the pool of blood, his eyes still vacant, the dagger in his hand dripping with dark red blood.

The purple mist surrounding him continued to gather towards him, and he slowly absorbed it.

Just then.

Yata's gaze passed over Lynch.

A cold voice suddenly came from the mist ahead, carrying an air of absolute authority and a hint of barely perceptible greed, breaking the silence of the canyon.

"Who is it?"

"Who is slaughtering my men?"

Yata paused slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.

She could sense that the owner of the voice was very strong, almost on par with the mountain bear from before, at least a powerful figure among first-tier professionals.

Lin Qi remained unresponsive, standing there blankly with empty eyes, completely oblivious to the cold voice.

A tall figure emerged from the mist.

The man was dressed in a black outfit with a red wolf embroidered on his chest. The wolf's eyes were embroidered with gold thread, making it look particularly ferocious. He was tall and muscular, with a hideous scar on his face that stretched from his forehead to his chin. His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, staring intently at Lin Qi.

His aura was calm and steady, showing no signs of being misled by the purple mist. On the contrary, one could vaguely sense that the power within him was suppressing the erosion of the purple mist.

He was holding a long knife in his hand.

The blade was jet black, gleaming with a cold light. Small runes were engraved on the blade, emanating a strong killing intent. There were also some bloodstains on the hilt.

Name: Red Wolf Buck

Race: Human

[Attributes: Strength 199, Stamina 99, Intelligence 1, Spirit 10, Agility 60]

[Note: The strongest person in Silverleaf Town]

The system notification sounded, but Lin Qi remained completely unaware.

Buck, the leader of the Red Wolf Mercenary Group.

He was a genuine first-tier expert, with formidable strength and ruthless methods. He had a great reputation in the area around Silverleaf Town, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

Buck's gaze fell on the five corpses on the ground, his eyes filled with amusement.

These are wastes.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze returning to Lin Qi, his eyes filled with scrutiny, the greed in them growing stronger, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qi as if he were examining a rare treasure.

"I never expected that there would be such an interesting little guy hidden in this Black Rock Canyon."

Buck's voice was cold, with a hint of amusement, but devoid of any warmth.

"You killed all my people?"

Lin Qi remained unresponsive, standing there blankly with empty eyes, the dagger in his hand still dripping blood.

Buck frowned and took two steps forward.

"Interesting, very interesting."

"It absorbs the purple mist faster than those corrupted monsters."

"It's probably true, hahaha, God is on my side, I've finally found it."

Buck's voice shook the leaves on the ground.

"I will take you down, and I, Red Wolf Buck, will be the king of the Misty Forest!"

These days, he has been leading his mercenary group on missions near Blackrock Canyon. They have encountered many ferocious monsters and suffered heavy losses. However, Buck keenly sensed something was wrong, and the rumors he had heard before excited him.

Until we arrived at this valley.

All of his mercenaries were corrupted by the fog here.

He finally realized that there was something here that could help him break through on another path.

Primordial Gods!

Having lingered here for a long time, Buck, though powerful, still had to constantly resist the erosion of divine power, which was not an easy task.

Until just now.

He sensed the commotion and rushed over, only to find this scene before him.

In his view, Lin Qi was the newly born primordial deity, but his power had not yet fully recovered, so he disguised himself as a human to absorb the purple mist to restore his power.

"Hand over your divine status, and I'll give you a quick death."

Buck stopped, slightly raising his longsword, the tip pointing at Lynch, his eyes filled with ferocity and greed.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind dismembering you and tearing you apart, so you can find it yourself. You'll suffer worse than death."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Buck flashed forward and charged toward Lin Qi, his longsword slashing down with ferocious force.

The runes on the blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light, and its power was immense, enough to split a boulder in two.

He held nothing back, intending to kill Lin Qi in one strike and seize the divine status.

Yata secretly drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

She couldn't let Lynch be killed like that.

At the critical moment.

[Note: Your faith has reached its limit; please convert immediately!]

Just as the long sword was about to strike Lin Qi, he seemed to be awakened by a sharp pain, his eyes instantly cleared, and the chaos within his body dissipated instantly.

"Holy shit!"

The burly man who descended from the sky had an extremely ferocious expression on his face.

He instinctively dodged to the side, his long sword slashing the ground, sending up a spray of pebbles. A deep trench was cleaved in the ground, and the flying pebbles smashed into powder against the cliff face.

But it was too late. The force of the longsword swept across his shoulder, cutting a deep wound. Blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes red. The intense pain made him groan, stagger, and take a few steps back, leaning against a rock, his face pale and his breathing rapid.

"That was a pretty quick reaction."

Buck smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"It seems your strength hasn't fully recovered yet. That's good, saves me the trouble."

Lin Qi gritted his teeth, pressed his shoulder wound, and blood seeped from between his fingers. The intense pain brought him fully awake.

He could sense that Buck's strength far exceeded his imagination, far beyond his ability to contend with; a direct confrontation would only lead to certain death.

His gaze fell on Buck, full of vigilance, his mind racing as he considered how to escape.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a system notification.

My faith is full.

Can this thing ever be full?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this matter. Lin Qi quickly glanced at his panel.

Name: Lin Qi

Race: Human

[Occupation: Forgotten Evil God]

[Status: Divinity Shattered]

[Attributes: Strength 51, Stamina 51, Magic 1, Spirit 1, Agility 21, Divinity: 0, Faith: 100000]

[Skills: Body Regeneration, Superior Memory, Memory Deprivation, Memory Injection, Thief's Silent Step, Trap Setting, Dagger Mastery]

[Faction: Chaotic Neutral]

[Hosts: All existing intelligent beings possessing divine qualities]

[Friendly: None]

[Note: The Forgotten God]

At the same time, he also noticed the other party's panel. This leader of the Red Wolf Mercenary Group, Buck, was indeed one of the strongest in the first tier. His strength and stamina far exceeded those of ordinary people, and he could even rival the mountain giant bear.

His only weakness.

Lynch placed it in the Agility category.

60.

Now that my faith is full, I can convert ten points of divinity. If my agility is maxed out, I will be just higher than Buck.

Lynch did not hesitate at all.

"System, add points!"
