Chapter 165: Star Crystal Windfall (Fourth update)
Lin Zhen looked at this scene and felt a little touched.
This is a difficult choice. For a warrior, martial arts is their second life and a lifelong pursuit. If Zhao Xiaoman chooses to leave the Star Fruit Tree at this time, her career as a warrior will not be completely ruined, but her future will at least be bleak.
If she goes to ask Zhou Bu Tong for help, she will probably lose something precious. This is a difficult choice.
Sure enough, Zhao Xiaoman sat there with a pale face, neither knowing whether to leave nor to stay.
Lin Zhen walked over to Zhao Xiaoman and said to him, "If you follow me, I will give you a bottle of antidote and promise to give you priority in absorbing the star crystals in the future, as long as you join my team."
As he spoke, Lin Zhen took out a bottle of antidote, which he got from Brother Guang. The antidote in the star fruit tree cannot be bought in the outside world, and most warriors don't have it. However, as the boss of the ant nest, Brother Guang has quite a bit of stock.
Zhao Xiaoman raised her head and looked at Lin Zhen's handsome face. She struggled for a while, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Pervert! I would rather leave the Star Fruit Tree than let people like you succeed."
Lin Zhen turned around and looked at Li Changying: "Do you think it's okay?"
Li Changying smiled and said, "You are the captain, you have the final say. Zhao Xiaoman is a good person, but the team she is in is not very reliable."
Lin Zhen handed the antidote to Zhao Xiaoman again, and then said to him: "This bottle of antidote is for you. I hope you will agree to join my team. Of course, if you join, you may end up on the opposite side of Zhou Bu Tong. Do you dare?"
Zhao Xiaoman understood what Lin Zhen meant: "What did you just say?"
"It was just a little test, I'm glad you passed it."
"Thank you, big brother! I'll join you."
Zhao Xiaoman happily took the antidote, took it immediately and began to heal his wounds.
Lin Zhen stood up and looked back at Li Changying: "Do I look old?"
"Who said that? Who said you are old? I think you don't look old at all, Brother Lin." Li Changying, who has always been a serious and upright man, hit Lin Zhen seriously.
Lin Zhen felt that it was worth it to exchange a bottle of antidote and a star crystal for a teammate. If Zhao Xiaoman had agreed to go with him just now, Lin Zhen would think that she could endure humiliation and would achieve great things in the future, but she would not be the most suitable teammate.
About an hour later, Zhao Xiaoman completed the detoxification. Although it was not completely eliminated, as long as she had a star crystal to absorb, she would be able to recover completely.
"Brother Lin, I think we should start the challenge from the west. The third group from the west is my original group. I made great contributions to this group before, but they didn't want me anymore after I got injured. I want to drive them away!"
Zhao Xiaoman expressed her respect by calling him "Brother Lin" all the time, and was gnashing her teeth at the team from the west that was driving her away.
"Which direction is Zhou's different team in?" Lin Zhen asked.
"The first group in the east is his team, but he rarely appears in the Hive. Most of the time he is in the Sky Dome. Usually, only his four teammates are there, and no one dares to challenge them."
Lin Zhen nodded: "Okay, our people will be here tomorrow, and we will start challenging the fifth group from the west. How often can we challenge them?"
"One week. Just like in the anthill, we challenge once a week."
Just as a few people were talking, a few more drops of honey fell, and two planetary crystals and three star crystals appeared. The two planetary crystals were obtained by other teams. Among the three star crystals, different teams got two, and the first group in the west got one.
Lin Zhen couldn't help but admire: "The environment here in the beehive is much better than that in the anthill. There are so many star crystals."
"Yes, there are many flowers blooming here. This mound is nourished by honey all year round, and the internal energy is also abundant. Although it cannot be directly absorbed by humans, it can produce many flowers. If we only talk about the speed of star crystal birth, the sky can't compare, but the sky is larger in area."
Zhao Xiaoman tells Lin Zhen everything she knows.
However, at dusk, the sky became increasingly dark, and the surrounding warriors gradually dispersed.
Lin Zhen looked at the star crystals that occasionally sparkled on the dirt pile, and asked Zhao Xiaoman, "Why don't warriors come to pick them at night? Aren't those glowing star crystals the most conspicuous targets?"
"The star crystals are indeed conspicuous, but it's too dark around at night to be noticed by the ubiquitous bees and wasps. These things are very smart and extremely sensitive at night. Although they won't leave the hive far, this mound of earth is basically completely covered. Anyone who dares to go out at night to pick them is seeking death." Li Changying explained to Lin Zhen this time.
"Yes, no one dares to come at night. Only when it is daybreak will everyone come together at six o'clock and pick the fruits according to their own abilities. That period of time is also when people get the most."
Lin Zhen looked at the warriors who had completely dispersed, then looked at the three or four star crystals on the mound, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"I'm going to be rich now. I have night vision and gravity. This hive is tailor-made for me. If I had known this, I should have come here earlier. It's such a waste of time to waste two years in the anthill."
At night, people stay away from the beehive. After all, sometimes a reckless bee will run out, and it would be terrible if you get stung.
Lin Zhen, Li Changying and Zhao Xiaoman found a place to live. This was where Li Changying lived before, and it had two layers of tree holes.
Zhao Xiaoman was a girl and she occupied the inner room alone, while Lin Zhen and Li Changying were outside.
At night, after Lin Zhen adjusted his breathing for a while, it was already pitch dark around him. Li Changying beside him could be heard snoring softly.
Lin Zhen left the tree hole. With his night vision, everything around him was clearly visible. He could even see the dense swarm of bees flying around the beehive in the distance.
Without alarming anyone, Lin Zhen stepped on the shield, flew through the air, and flew towards the hive.
When he arrived at the first row on the west side, there was no one there, so Lin Zhen stopped.
In the darkness of the night, a few stars twinkled above the mound.
"one two three."
Lin Zhen counted and found that there were six star crystals on the west side of the mound, including four stellar crystals, one planetary crystal, and one satellite crystal.
"Tomorrow morning, all the warriors will come here to pick them. If I take too many at once, it might attract attention. So I can't take all of these star crystals. I won't take those that are useless to me. What I need now are the star crystals."
"There are four star crystals in total. I will take three. I estimate that one or two more will be born in the second half of the night. That will be enough."
Lin Zhen was ready. First, a mental shield appeared on the surface of his body, and then he turned the liquid metal into a half-body armor. Then, he stepped on the shield, held the bright silver gun in his hand, and ran straight to the pile of earth!
Swish! A streak of light flashed by, and Lin Zhen was already on top of the mound.
The surrounding bees immediately buzzed over, raising their butts one by one, and their spear-like stings stabbed at them from all directions! Lin Zhen completely ignored the flying bees, waving the bright silver spear in his hand into a windmill shape, and rushed down without moving like a mountain.
A burst of dense collision sounds was heard, and most of the bees' attacks were blocked by the bright silver gun. Even if there were occasional bees rushing over from other angles, it was difficult for them to penetrate Lin Zhen's mental shield.
Moreover, Lin Zhen didn’t need to get too close to the mound. He could just wave his hand from five meters away, and a star crystal would fly directly into his hand.
"Got it! The first star crystal!"
Lin Zhen hit the target accurately on his first try. Although he was covered in mud, he could not hide his excitement.
He charged into the swarm of bees several times, and his protective shield was pierced once by a wasp, but it did not pierce Lin Zhen's golden liquid metal armor.
Lin Zhen raised his hand again, and got the second star crystal! The beauty of his mood was simply beyond words. Lin Zhen's shield drew an arc in the air, passing low over the mound, and with a wave of his hand, he got the third one!
With three star crystals in hand, Lin Zhen basically completed his goal this time. The bright silver spear once again blocked a wave of attacks, and his body went straight to the bottom of the mound.
Flying at high speed, he quickly left the branch where the pile of earth was and stopped under a huge leaf.
He quickly got a few leaves to block the light emitted by the star crystals, and Lin Zhen took out three star crystals.
"Wow! It's so enjoyable! So exciting!"
Lin Zhen saw a lot of warriors today. Almost all of them were at the level of ninth-level generals. Occasionally, there would be a seventh or eighth-level warrior. They were basically all freshmen this year. There were no more old students at this level.
Furthermore, among the nine-level warriors, half are below their peak, a quarter are at their peak, and the remaining quarter are all compressing the Dantian Qi.
Among the first group on the east side, Lin Zhen even saw one who compressed the Dantian Qi six times.
With Lin Zhen's current strength, if he does not use the Soul Locking sneak attack, he will basically have no chance of winning against a warrior who has compressed his Dantian Qi six times. Even if he uses the Soul Locking, it is hard to say whether he can succeed in one strike. After all, the higher the realm of the warrior, the stronger the mental willpower must be. If he cannot quickly lock the opponent's soul and let him resist, the Soul Locking will most likely fail.
This is not to say that Lin Zhen’s soul lock is not good. If the opponent’s body cannot move, Lin Zhen is confident that he can lock anyone, but this takes time.
Li Changying's compression was nearly doubled or tripled, and even Zhao Xiaoman's compression was once times. Lin Zhen's starting point was low, and although he tried his best to catch up, his progress still could not satisfy him. If he wanted to counterattack the sky, this kind of strength was not enough.
Holding the three star crystals, Lin Zhen was secretly happy.
"A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. Although it is a bit unkind to eat alone, this matter really cannot be shared with anyone. My teammates, you will soon know the benefits of teaming up with Lin Zhen."
The dark stars in his body were running, and the three star crystals emitted faint starlight at the same time. Threads of silver air began to flow into Lin Zhen's body.
