Chapter 179: Facing a powerful master with an ordinary body
"Buzz!"
There was only a deafening sound of breaking through the air.
Lu Tianrong, who was still on the ground the previous moment, rushed to the masked man the next moment.
"die!"
Lu Tianrong pulled out his machete, attached a large amount of energy and blood, and slashed at the masked man.
The masked man dodged the knife with ease by stepping back.
At the same time, he waved his hands and controlled a large number of vines to rush towards Lu Tianrong.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Lu Tianrong did not dodge or evade, but chopped at the vines that were coming towards him, chasing the masked man in front of him relentlessly.
He wasn't sure if he could kill the masked man.
Therefore, the most urgent thing to do is to launch the most violent attack and force the masked man out of the tree cage.
As long as he gets away from the tree cage, the masked man will lose control of the vines inside.
In this way, without the interference of vines, the trainees' chances of escape will be greatly increased.
They only need to work together to eliminate the remaining masked woman, who is the leader of the branch sect in the mission, and they can escape.
"That's it?"
The masked man scoffed with contempt, "Such a slow attack doesn't affect my ability to multitask at all. I'm manipulating the vines to attack the trainees below while effortlessly dodging your machete."
Hearing this, Lu Tianrong became very anxious.
He immediately released more energy and blood, speeding up his attacks.
However, the masked man still couldn't be killed.
The disadvantage of playing away is too great.
A large number of vines kept coming from the front, causing great interference to Lu Tianrong, so that he could not attack the masked man who was protected by the vines.
“Let’s fight!”
Lu Tianrong made up his mind and took the risk of alienation to further activate the alien beast genes in his body.
The next second, his eyes were bloodshot, the hair on his body grew thicker, his muscles became stronger, and the aura emanating from his body was filled with violence.
"die!"
Lu Tianrong roared wildly, and the power and speed of his sword suddenly increased, and he slashed at the masked man's neck.
The masked man could feel the horror of the knife and did not dare to control the vines to block it head-on. He chose to avoid the edge and retreat quickly.
The first blow missed, but Lu Tianrong continued to swing the knife.
Each blow is stronger than the previous one.
The masked man who had been chopping with ease just now couldn't even adjust the direction of dodging and could only retreat backwards continuously.
In just a few seconds, it seemed like it was about to exit the tree cage.
…
Below.
Lin Zichen and others are being attacked by vines.
Luo Yongjian activated the strange beast gene in his body and transformed into a birdman. Both his left and right wings were broken by vines.
Zhang Kai, who has a body of steel, had one of his powerful mechanical legs torn off by the vines.
"Buzz!"
There was only a loud sound of air friction.
The next moment, a thick vine suddenly whipped towards Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan wanted to dodge, but the vines whipped her too fast and she couldn't avoid it at all.
Fortunately, Lin Zichen was right next to him and punched the vine in time, directly shattering the vine, which was as strong as B-grade alloy, into pieces.
"Brother Chen, save me!"
Luo Yongjian was rolled up by the vines and rushed straight up into the sky. He was so scared that he hurriedly asked Lin Zichen for help.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen instantly jumped up on the spot, rushed above Luo Yongjian at an extremely fast speed, and cut off the vines wrapped around him with a knife.
Luo Yongjian fell to the ground from a height of several meters. His butt was almost swollen and he screamed in pain.
"Lin Zichen, save me, save me..."
Suddenly, a weak shout came from behind.
Lin Zichen looked back and found that it was Ma Xiwei who was entangled by the vines.
It was wrapped around her like a pleasure, showing off her curvy figure to the fullest, making her face flush and her tongue sticking out involuntarily.
"Don't panic, I'll do it!"
Li Moyu rushed over immediately, swung the thick mace in his hand, and smashed the vine hanging above Ma Xiwei's head.
However, the strength of the vines was far beyond his imagination.
It can't be smashed at all.
In the end, Lin Zichen flashed in front of Ma Xiwei and chopped with his knife, easily splitting the vine hanging over her head into two.
"Thanks."
Ma Xiwei looked at Lin Zichen, covering her neck which had just been strangled by the vines, and spoke while panting slightly.
Lin Zichen just said "hmm" and quickly left to rescue others.
Li Moyu stood where he was, watching Lin Zichen easily cut the vines with just his hands. Thinking about how he couldn't break the vines no matter how hard he swung his mace, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly filled his heart.
He considers himself a top genius.
But at this moment, in front of Lin Zichen, he looked like an elementary school student, and the gap in combat power was huge.
However, when he saw that other people were also unable to break the vines and were just as useless as himself, he suddenly felt a lot more balanced.
"Zi Chen, save me!"
"Brother Chen, save me too!"
"Ah! Help me!"
Lin Zichen was trying his best to save them, and the others were desperately asking for help.
There were too many people attacked by the vines, and he was exhausted physically and mentally from saving them all by himself.
Just when he felt a little flustered.
Suddenly, the surrounding vines dropped down one after another like soft worms and stopped attacking.
Looking up, I saw Lu Tianrong forcing the masked man who was controlling the vines out of the tree cage.
Perhaps because the distance was too far, the masked man lost control of the vines.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Lin Zichen didn't dwell on the reason and immediately shouted this to everyone.
Then he immediately rushed to Shen Qinghan, picked her up and carried her on his shoulders, and rushed towards a gap in front as fast as possible.
The most urgent thing is to escape from this tree cage first.
The others didn't hesitate and quickly followed him out.
Zhang Kai shouted anxiously: "My leg is broken, is there anyone who can carry me?"
When Zhu Shishi, who was running in front, heard this, she immediately turned back to carry him.
"Xiao, Xiaochen, I can run by myself..."
Shen Qinghan lay on Lin Zichen's shoulder, feeling uncomfortable from the bumpy ride, and spoke weakly.
Lin Zichen refused outright: "No, you run too slowly."
Shen Qinghan pursed her lips, chose to lie down quietly and not make any sound, trying not to disturb Lin Zichen.
At this time, Lin Zichen, who was running at high speed, suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers.
It smells very nice and refreshing.
It felt like Shen Qinghan was stroking my head with her soft little hands, sweeping away all the fatigue in my body and making my body numb with comfort.
[You are being invaded by a flower poison that can cause creatures to fall into a coma. Poison resistance +1+1+1+1+1...]
At the moment the prompt message pops up.
Lin Zichen felt bored for a moment and instantly recovered from the numbness all over his body.
After waking up, the first thing he did was stop to check on the condition of Shen Qinghan on his shoulder.
I didn't fall asleep, but my consciousness was very vague, and I looked like I was just waking up in the morning.
The people behind him fell down in large numbers.
Most of them fell into coma, and a few were kneeling on the ground, struggling to hold up their upper bodies. It seemed that they would faint on the ground soon.
They are all poisoned.
It's not a coincidence.
Someone must be hiding in the dark and poisoning...
Lin Zichen realized this, and his five senses instantly opened up, carefully exploring every corner around him.
Soon, he sensed a powerful biological pressure from the direction where the fragrance of the flowers came from.
As high as the ordinary ninth level of perfection.
This level of creature... is the leader of a branch of the Divine Plant Sect!
"Oh? Not only were you not poisoned, you were even able to sense my presence?"
Following this, a woman's voice full of surprise sounded.
The next second, a graceful figure walked out from the direction of Lin Zichen's sight.
It was the masked woman who appeared in the tree with the masked man before.
The mask she wore on her head had a conspicuous clover pattern on it.
"You're barely 20 years old, yet you possess such incredible strength. No wonder the Grand Master was willing to take the risk and plan this attack just to control you."
The masked woman's voice sounded relaxed and at ease, and she obviously didn't take Lin Zichen seriously.
Likewise, Lin Zichen didn't take her seriously and simply asked calmly, "Are you the leader of the branch sect of the Divine Plant Sect?"
"Exactly."
The masked woman smiled faintly.
Lin Zichen nodded and gently put Shen Qinghan down from his shoulder.
Then, he suddenly took a step forward, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow, rushing towards the masked woman at an extremely high speed far exceeding that of ordinary creatures.
So fast!
The masked woman was horrified. She had never expected that Lin Zichen could burst out with such terrifying speed.
She reacted quickly and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, before she could lift her legs, Lin Zichen had already rushed in front of her, raised his fist filled with energy and blood, and punched her in the face.
"Bang!"
Just heard this sound.
The masked woman's head exploded instantly like a watermelon falling from the third floor, and red and white things scattered all over the ground.
The remaining headless corpse was also severely damaged by the remaining energy and blood in its neck. In the blink of an eye, its skin was torn and all its organs were destroyed, leaving it unable to heal itself.
Lin Zichen skillfully recycled the waste. He reached out and touched the corpse, and an idea came to his mind: devour it!
[You devoured a large amount of the life essence of the "Shadow Night Cat"]
[Shadow Night Cat Album: 62%]
[You devoured a large amount of the life essence of the "Ghost Shark"]
[Ghost Shark Album: 23%]
…
On the other side, a few people who were kneeling on the ground and had not yet fainted witnessed the whole process of Lin Zichen rushing over and punching the masked woman to death.
Suddenly everyone's eyes widened, and a storm of shock rose in their hearts.
Just one punch!
Just defeat the leader of the branch sect whose biological level is as high as the ordinary ninth level of perfection!
So strong!
So strong that it’s outrageous!
He is not human at all!
…
Lin Zichen wiped the blood off his fist and walked back under the shocked gazes of several people.
He checked Shen Qinghan's condition.
Seeing that Shen Qinghan was still conscious, he looked at the few people who were still conscious and asked, "You are all poisoned now. Does anyone have any antidote?"
"It might be in the lining of Ah Zhong's clothes. Go look for it."
Liu Ruihe, the strongest fighter among the five members of the military district team, said with difficulty while supporting his upper body.
His physical strength was extremely high, and he was relatively resistant to poison, so the poisoning was not that serious. He was still conscious, but his muscles were numb and he couldn't stand up.
Hearing this, Lin Zichen immediately walked towards Zhao Yuanzhong.
At this time, Zhao Yuanzhong was lying on the ground unconscious and completely lost consciousness.
In terms of poison resistance, he is not as good as Shen Qinghan, whose biological level is only ordinary sixth level.
Lin Zichen squatted beside Zhao Yuanzhong, unzipped his jacket, and quickly found three small plastic medicine bottles in the inner pocket of the jacket.
The bottles are labeled.
【Detoxification】
【trauma】
【internal injury】
Lin Zichen opened the small medicine bottle labeled [Detoxification] and poured out a small white pill from it.
The size of soybeans.
It feels very hard.
It emits a bitter medicinal smell.
Lin Zichen pinched Zhao Yuanzhong's mouth open and threw the small white pill in his hand into it.
In less than a moment, Zhao Yuanzhong opened his eyes in a daze.
But my body was still numb and I couldn't stand up. I just regained some consciousness.
Seeing that the small white pill was effective, Lin Zichen gave it to Shen Qinghan first, and then gave it to others.
Soon, all the unconscious people on the ground woke up one after another.
But their consciousness was still a little fuzzy, their bodies were still numb and weak, and they couldn't move for a while.
All I can say is that the little white pill is somewhat helpful, but not much.
While waiting for everyone to detoxify.
Lin Zichen had nothing to do, so he went back to the bamboo building to recycle the waste and devour the corpses of the Shenzhi Sect followers on the ground.
Strictly speaking, it is not devouring the corpse, but devouring the genes of the alien beast contained in the corpse.
I killed too quickly before, killing seven in the blink of an eye and seriously injured one, and forgot to swallow for a while.
While I have some free time, I'll go back and eat it all.
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Iron Rhino"]
[Armored Rhino Album: 8%]
[You swallowed a trace of the life essence of the "Sawtooth Crocodile"]
[Sawtooth Crocodile Album: 7%]
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Ice, Fire and Poison Scorpion"]
[Ice, Fire, and Scorpion Album: 9%]
【……】
Lin Zichen devoured seven corpses in a row. The source of life he obtained each time was new, and the progress bars of seven new atlases were opened.
He secretly felt it was a pity.
Unless you can directly open the atlas 100% and obtain the biological attributes.
Otherwise, it would just be a progress bar, which would be more effective than enhancing the original biological attributes.
Shaking his head, Lin Zichen walked to a small tree and stopped.
This little tree looks very strange.
The color of the leaves is deep red like blood.
The branches are covered with veins like blood vessels.
Looks a bit psychologically uncomfortable.
This strange little tree grew out of the mouth of the seriously injured and questioned member of the Divine Plant Cult.
So, is it a product developed from the tree demon Gu species?
Lin Zichen thought of this.
Previously, when he was in school, the Divine Plant Cult had attacked him.
He instructs Wang Shujie and Lu Gang to send a tree demon poison seed to his hands, hoping that he will eat it.
Yuan Dongzhi said that the tree demon insect seeds are used to control people.
The best way to control a person is to control his life and death.
Thinking about it this way, the function of the Tree Demon Gu seed is most likely that once the controlled person betrays the person, the Gu seed in the controlled person's body will take root and sprout, directly killing the betrayer.
Well, that makes sense.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the same as what I thought.
After thinking about it, Lin Zichen reached out and touched the strange little tree in front of him, and an idea came to his mind: swallow it!
No response.
No prompt message popped up in the void.
Lin Zichen was confused at first, but then he quickly reacted.
I almost forgot, [Survival of the fittest] can only devour the life essence of dead things, not living things...
“Bang!”
Just heard this sound.
Lin Zichen swung his knife and ruthlessly cut off the strange little tree in front of him, and then used the power of qi and blood to destroy its internal structure.
Then he reached out his hand again to touch the strange little tree that was deader than dead, and a thought came to his mind: swallow it!
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Bloodthirsty Gu Tree"]
[Bloodthirsty Gu Tree Album: 0.01%]
It can really swallow!
Lin Zichen was slightly excited and felt a little surprised.
But soon, the surprise faded.
Because he sadly discovered that the progress bar of the Bloodthirsty Gu Tree Atlas was only 0.01%.
Each newly born bloodthirsty poison tree sapling can only provide 0.01% of the opening progress of the atlas.
According to this calculation, you have to devour 10,000 trees to open the album.
Where can I devour ten thousand trees?
I don’t know if there are even 10,000 followers of the Shenzhi religion in the whole country.
I thought about these things for a while.
Soon, Lin Zichen left the bamboo building and returned to his group.
…
A forest not far from the tree cage.
Lu Tianrong and the masked man were fighting fiercely inside.
Deafening and violent collisions continued to explode.
Wherever the two men passed, towering trees fell one after another, scaring the wild beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests into fleeing in panic.
"So what if you force me out of the tree cage?"
"Do you really think that a group of specially trained students who are not even 20 years old can defeat an ordinary ninth-level Great Perfection Secondary Gene Fusion Master together?"
"Now, even if you want to go back to the tree cage, I won't let you go. Stay here and continue this indecisive fight with me!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
The masked man dodged the chopping machete while laughing loudly with a mocking look on his face, constantly attacking Lu Tianrong's psychological defenses.
The attempt was to cause Lu Tianrong, the instructor, to have severe emotional fluctuations, thus affecting his performance.
Lu Tianrong knew what the masked man was planning.
But he still fell into it.
His emotions inevitably fluctuated violently when he thought that the group of special trainees in the tree cage might not be able to defeat the branch sect leader in the mission, and then be killed or abducted by the branch sect leader.
Because those 20 specially trained students are extraordinary geniuses with a bright future.
As long as they grow step by step, they can basically evolve into rare creatures in the future.
Some of those with better luck can obtain huge amounts of evolutionary resources in the source land, and may even evolve into epic creatures and become the top combat force of mankind.
What if something happened to this group of top geniuses?
Even if Lu Tianrong, the team instructor, died a thousand times afterwards, he would not be able to make up for this loss.
Lu Tianrong himself is very clear about this.
He hesitated for a moment about this.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try, over-activating the alien beast genes in his body.
Four-armed demon ape gene, 120% activated!
Saber-toothed tiger gene, 130% activated!
At the moment when the genes of these two advanced exotic beasts are over-activated!
Two rows of giant fangs as sharp as daggers suddenly grew out of Lu Tianrong's mouth, a pair of powerful arms grew behind him, and his entire body expanded by 50%, turning him into an extremely oppressive orc.
"Die!"
Lu Tianrong's eyes lit up scarlet, and he roared wildly at the top of his lungs.
Then he suddenly exerted force with his legs, and broke the towering tree branch with a radius of more than 1 meter under his feet with a "crack", and the whole person rushed towards the masked man in front of him like a high-speed flying missile.
Before the masked man could react and dodge, he was directly knocked hundreds of meters away by his punch. He crashed into more than ten towering trees before he could barely stop.
"Buzz!"
Lu Tianrong flashed and rushed towards the masked man with a sharp sound of air explosion, not giving the other party a chance to recover.
The masked man reacted this time, spitting blood and using his ability of transplanting to escape.
"Bang!"
"boom!"
"Bang!"
The masked man fled frantically, with Lu Tianrong chasing him relentlessly.
As soon as he caught up with him, Lu Tianrong raised his hand and punched out with great ferocity, aiming to kill the masked man with one punch.
The masked man failed to dodge several times and was punched through the body by Lu Tianrong, almost dying on the spot.
If it weren't for the living-death slug gene that was constantly working, he would have been beaten into a pool of rotten flesh and would have been dead beyond death.
"Crazy, you're fucking crazy!"
"Overactivating the alien beast's genes will eventually lead to complete alienation and loss of sanity!"
"Just because I, as an instructor, couldn't protect those special trainees, should I die as an apology?"
"Stupid! How stupid!"
"If you can't return to the military zone, you can choose to join the Divine Planting Sect and create a future with us!"
"Why sacrifice your life in vain?!"
"We're already advanced creatures. We can live a life of luxury wherever we go. Why bother working so hard?!"
"Joining the Divine Plant Cult will give you a better life than living in the military!"
The masked man was unable to withstand Lu Tianrong's desperate attack and did not dare to mock him as he did before.
Instead, he changed his mind and tried to win over Lu Tianrong.
I want to end this deadly fight that will only hurt each other.
However, Lu Tianrong was not tempted at all, and continued to consume his life and attack fiercely.
"Oh shit!"
"madman!"
"Fuck you, you lunatic!"
Seeing that Lu Tianrong refused to listen, the masked man was so angry that he started swearing on the spot.
Then he became cruel and shouted at Lu Tianrong with a ferocious look on his face: "You forced me to do this!!!"
The moment he finished speaking, the masked man took out a bright red, wriggling seed from somewhere and swallowed it into his stomach without any hesitation.
The next second, a large number of strange blood vessels bulged out of the masked man's skin.
These blood vessels are constantly wriggling, as if there are a large number of parasites living inside.
“Get off!!!”
The masked man shouted with an angry look on his face.
He then sacrificed most of the blood and essence in his body and used a forbidden technique from the Divine Plant Sect to summon a large number of thick vines.
These vines are covered with sharp thorns.
Suddenly broke out from the ground.
It soared into the sky in an instant.
With the force of covering the sky and blocking out the sun, Lu Tianrong above was shrouded in shadow.
Then, it suddenly contracted and wrapped Lu Tianrong into a cicada pupa several meters thick, hanging in the air and unable to move.
"Damn idiot, you cost me half my life!"
The masked man gasped for breath and cursed weakly.
Then, without wasting any more time, he flashed and quickly rushed towards the tree cage.
He wanted to hurry back to the tree cage and bring Lin Zichen back to the chief instructor to report, so as to avoid any problems if he was late.
…
Over there by the tree cage.
Lin Zichen returned to the group and found that everyone had recovered a lot and could stand up and walk.
Some who recovered well can even run.
He just doesn't run fast and looks like a staggering old man.
It seems that the flower poison just now is still strong.
It was so severe that these geniuses had been taking antidotes for a while but still hadn't fully recovered.
"Xiaochen, my legs feel so weak."
Shen Qinghan massaged her thighs while frowning slightly as she complained to Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen: "It's okay, I'll carry you later."
Shen Qinghan: "That's not necessary."
"Yes."
After saying that, Lin Zichen looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone can leave now, let's get out of this tree cage quickly, so as to avoid any problems later."
Everyone had no objection and stood up to leave.
Lin Zichen carried Shen Qinghan on his back and walked quickly towards a gap in front.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, a faint sound of breaking air came from behind.
Lin Zichen looked back, and with the help of the Eye of the Sky, he saw a figure rushing towards him at a high speed from hundreds of meters away.
He looked closely and found that the person coming was a masked man covered in blood.
…
