Chapter 186: The Earth Genius Who Overshadows the Aliens
"Yuan Xiao is defeated!"
"The ninth elder of the Divine Plant Sect is approaching us at a very fast speed!"
"His target is me, I will lead him away!"
The moment he saw the hunchback masked man, Lin Zichen immediately said to the people around him.
After saying that, he didn't stay for a second, and immediately jumped into the bottomless sea water below and disappeared.
On land, he was only an ordinary ninth-level creature, and there was no possibility of escape when facing the hunchback masked man with a rare biological level.
Only in the water, there is a chance to create a miracle of escape with the biological attribute of [Luck of Melting Water].
The few people who were still in the tree saw Lin Zichen suddenly jump into the water and disappear, and they couldn't react for a while.
Until Lu Tianrong saw a hunched figure approaching at a high speed in the distance, he was the first to react and shouted:
"Everyone, follow me and run in the opposite direction of Lin Zichen!"
Just after he finished shouting and before he had time to move, he found that the hunched figure in the distance suddenly changed its direction.
No longer approaching the towering tree where he was, but turning a big corner and chasing at a high speed to the right.
Looking in the direction of the hunched figure, he saw a figure that surprised him.
It was Lin Zichen!
Lin Zichen had just jumped into the sea for less than 10 seconds!
Lu Tianrong was stunned by the scene in front of him.
It had only been less than 10 seconds since he jumped into the sea, how could he swim hundreds of meters away?
And it was not diving, but freestyle floating on the water.
This freestyle speed was something that even he, who was at the advanced sixth level, could not do.
To be more precise, it should not even reach half the speed.
Lu Tianrong was full of doubts about life and could not understand what he saw.
Lin Zichen was just an ordinary creature, how could he swim so fast in the water?
Could it be that he had merged with the genes of water-related beasts?
But this is not right, Lin Zichen is a pure-blooded human and cannot merge with the genes of beasts.
What is going on? !
Lu Tianrong was puzzled and suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Instructor, why don't you leave?"
Li Moyu was very confused when he saw Lu Tianrong shouting to leave, but in the end he was standing on the tree.
Hearing Li Moyu's voice, Lu Tianrong came back to his senses and said:
"Let's go, let's leave here quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped first, jumped straight into the sea water below, and swam away in the opposite direction of Lin Zichen.
Li Moyu and others saw this and jumped down one after another.
"Qinghan, what are you still doing up there? Jump down!"
Seeing Shen Qinghan still standing on the tree, Ma Xiwei shouted at her with a puzzled look on her face.
At this time, Shen Qinghan was looking at the direction where Lin Zichen was, with a worried look on her face.
Her eyesight was not strong, and she could not see Lin Zichen's figure.
However, she could accurately sense where Lin Zichen was through the fluctuations of the water.
"It's all my fault..."
"If I had enough strength, I wouldn't always need Xiaochen to take risks to divert danger for me when I was in danger..."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for being useless..."
Shen Qinghan looked in the direction where Lin Zichen was, blaming herself constantly in her heart, feeling more and more depressed.
She felt that she was just a burden, never providing any help to Lin Zichen, and only dragging him down at critical moments.
She felt that if she was not there, Lin Zichen would be more at ease when he was in danger.
Instead of always looking ahead and behind and being unable to let go of his hands and feet.
"Qinghan!"
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Come down quickly!"
Seeing that Shen Qinghan didn't react at all, Ma Xiwei in the water shouted at her anxiously.
Shen Qinghan finally heard her shout, quickly came to her senses and apologized:
"Sorry, sorry, I'll come right away."
After saying that, she immediately jumped down and inserted into the water with a silky movement.
No splashes of water.
Yes, just circles of ripples spreading smoothly on the water surface.
Ma Xiwei rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
How come there was no splash of water when she jumped down from a height of dozens of meters above the water surface?
What's going on?
Before she could figure out what was going on, Lu Tianrong shouted from the front:
"You two girls, don't stand there stupidly, swim quickly!"
"Here I come!"
Ma Xiwei responded and swam up quickly.
Shen Qinghan swam silently behind him, rarely saying anything. He would occasionally look back in the direction of Lin Zichen, his face full of worry
…
On the other side.
Lin Zichen was swimming freely on the water surface at a very fast speed under the blessing of [Luck of Melting Water].
If he chose to swim underwater, he could swim even faster.
The reason why he chose the slow freestyle was that he had to float on the water to expose himself and attract the rickety masked man.
He was not sure if the rickety masked man could detect his presence after he dived into the water.
If he could not detect him, Shen Qinghan might be in danger.
After swimming for hundreds of meters.
Lin Zichen found that the direction of the rickety masked man finally changed.
No longer heading towards Shen Qinghan.
Instead, he changed his route and ran towards him at a high speed.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then suddenly increased his speed and swam madly.
After swimming a long distance and confirming that the rickety masked man caught up.
He decisively dived into the water and increased his swimming speed to the fastest.
The rickety masked man had been successfully attracted.
The next step was to get rid of the rickety masked man and escape.
And the direction of escape was the direction where the waves came from before.
If the previous wave was really created by Yuan Dongzhi using his ability.
Then if we move forward in the direction of the wave, we will most likely encounter Yuan Dongzhi.
Lin Zichen guessed.
Although Yuan Dongzhi was defeated, he was probably not dead.
Instead, he was trapped by the enemy with vines like Lu Tianrong before.
This guess is well-founded.
The basis is that the hunchback masked man did not look seriously injured, which means that the battle between him and Yuan Dongzhi was not fierce.
If you want to kill the opponent in a battle between strong men of the same level, it is impossible not to fight fiercely.
After all, they are strong men of the same level, and the gap is unlikely to be so big that one side can kill the other side without injury.
In summary, the possibility of Yuan Dongzhi dying in battle is almost zero.
The high probability is that he was trapped by the vines of the hunchback masked man and could not escape for a while.
Based on this, the next plan is to find a way to help Yuan Dongzhi escape.
After that, let Yuan Dongzhi fight the hunchback masked man again and help him out.
"I hope Yuan Xiao is really trapped by the vines, not killed in the battle..."
"I hope that the newly acquired biological attribute of [Forest Lord] can control the vines that the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Sect trapped Yuan Xiao..."
"I hope that I was not caught by the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Sect before I found Yuan Xiao..."
Lin Zichen prayed in his heart while swimming forward with all his strength. His nerves were very tense, and he was very afraid that he would fail.
...
On the surface of the water.
The hunchback masked man was chasing Lin Zichen at a very fast speed.
When Lin Zichen dived into the water and his swimming speed suddenly increased to an extremely exaggerated speed, the hunchback masked man was shocked.
How can an ordinary creature swim so fast? !
Moreover, this ordinary creature is still a pure-blooded human, and has never merged with the genes of water-related beasts.
What is going on?
The hunchbacked masked man was puzzled.
He had lived for nearly two hundred years and had seen countless geniuses from Earth and the source land, but he had never seen a special existence like Lin Zichen.
He was obviously a pure-blooded human.
He had never fused any alien beast genes.
But his physical and mental strength far exceeded that of the gene fusion people of the same age.
Now, he even showed underwater ability that was not inferior to the water gene fusion people of the same age.
No!
Not not inferior, but far superior!
The powerful underwater ability shown by Lin Zichen at this moment was far superior to the water gene fusion people of the same age!
Such a heaven-defying performance directly refreshed the hunchbacked masked man's understanding of Earthlings!
It turned out that Earth, which was short of evolutionary resources, could also breed peerless geniuses who were not inferior to the aliens of the source land!
"This boy is really a monster."
"We must fight quickly and bring him back to the headmaster."
"Otherwise, something unexpected will happen."
The hunchbacked masked man thought to himself, and his speed suddenly increased, jumping on the towering trees at lightning speed.
In just a few seconds, he closed the distance with Lin Zichen, and was within reach.
Then, with a thought, he controlled several vines to dive into the water and chase Lin Zichen who was swimming underwater.
The vines were extremely fast, and they caught up with Lin Zichen in just a moment, and one after another, they wrapped around him like a python.
Facing the attacking vines, Lin Zichen just swam in a silky snake-like manner and dodged them with ease.
With the blessing of [Luck of Melting Water], the water is his home court.
In contrast, the vines were subject to a lot of resistance in the water, and the speed of pursuit was greatly reduced.
This increase and decrease greatly increased his chances of escape.
"It's obviously just an ordinary creature, how can its underwater ability be so strong?"
The hunchbacked masked man was very puzzled.
The underwater ability that Lin Zichen showed in the water at this moment was enough to rival a high-level water gene fusionist.
Moreover, it was comparable to a "high-level intermediate" water gene fusionist.
Such performance was too unreasonable.
Even the aliens in the source land, most of them pale in comparison to Lin Zichen.
"Bang... Bang... Bang!"
The hunchbacked masked man summoned a large number of vines, which shot into the water densely like raindrops, rushing towards Lin Zichen at a high speed.
If a few vines can't catch Lin Zichen, then there will be dozens or even hundreds of them.
No matter how flexible Lin Zichen is underwater, facing the vines rushing from all directions, he can only surrender obediently.
...
Underwater.
Lin Zichen's blood vessels dilated all over his body, and his blood and qi continued to burst out.
With the blessing of [Melting Water's Luck].
He swam faster than the swordfish in the sea in his previous life.
The swimming speed was close to 100 meters per second.
But even so, the vines attacking from behind kept closing the distance.
One is ordinary level.
The other is rare level.
The difference in biological level between the two is too big.
The gap in strength caused by this could not be made up by a mere [Luck of Melting Water].
"Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh!"
Accompanied by a sound of water penetration.
The vines controlled by the hunchback masked man have already caught up with Lin Zichen in front.
After catching up, they did not immediately wrap around him.
Instead, they accelerated and rushed to Lin Zichen.
When there were vines in the six directions of front, back, left, right, up and down, completely blocking Lin Zichen's escape space, they concentrated their attacks at the same time and quickly wrapped around him like pythons.
Lin Zichen wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.
There were too many vines, and there was no room for maneuver.
There was no chance to struggle, and he was instantly entangled by the vines that surged in, unable to move.
Then, the whole person was suddenly pulled up and was about to fall into the hands of the hunchback masked man.
At the moment of being pulled up, Lin Zichen had an idea and consumed his mental power to use [Lord of the Forest] to try to control the vines on his body.
He could sense the vines, but could not control them.
His mental strength was far behind that of the hunchback masked man, and he could not snatch the control of the vines.
Fortunately, he had the biological attribute of [Higher Spirit], which could provide amplification and strengthen his own mental power.
With the blessing of [Higher Spirit].
Lin Zichen consumed a lot of mental power and finally snatched a small part of the control of the vines.
At the moment when he was about to be pulled out of the water, he successfully loosened some of the vines wrapped around him.
Then, he instantly got rid of the layers of vines, quickly dived back to the bottom of the water, and swam as fast as possible, as far away from the hunchback masked man on the water surface.
...
On the surface of the water.
The hunchback masked man was confused.
He was about to be pulled up, so why did the vines suddenly loosen uncontrollably?
What on earth was going on?
He didn't care about the doubts.
Soon, the hunchback masked man attacked again.
Controlling more vines than before, rushing towards Lin Zichen at a high speed.
In just a short moment, the vines that surged out tightly wrapped around Lin Zichen.
Just when he was about to be pulled out of the water.
Just like before, the vines wrapped around him loosened inexplicably.
Watching him break free from the deathly entanglement of the vines, he swam hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and escaped again.
What happened?
Why did the vines loosen again?
The hunchbacked masked man frowned, confused by the scene in front of him.
He thought about it carefully and found a detail.
When the vines loosened just now, there seemed to be a subtle mental fluctuation in the water.
Could it be that... Lin Zichen can use mental power to control the vines?
This thought flashed through the mind of the hunchbacked masked man.
But soon, he denied it.
Lin Zichen's mental strength is high, but that is compared with his peers.
Compared with him, who is a rare-level strongman, it is the gap between an ant and an elephant. There is no comparison at all.
Not to mention Lin Zichen, even if Yuan Dongzhi, who is also a rare-level creature, came, he could not compete with him for the control of the vines.
Unless Yuan Dongzhi also merged the genes of the [Wood Spirit] and gained the ability to control plants.
Otherwise, it is impossible to win the control of the vines by relying solely on the spiritual telekinesis.
After thinking about these.
The hunchback masked man attacked Lin Zichen again.
Like the previous two times, this time he also easily controlled the vines to tightly wrap Lin Zichen.
In order to avoid the situation of sudden and inexplicable loosening like the previous two times.
This time, the hunchback masked man deliberately controlled the vines to wrap Lin Zichen into an airtight cicada pupa.
The vines were spirally entangled with each other, tightly gathered, and there was no possibility of breaking free.
However, just when the cicada pupa was about to be pulled out of the water,
A strong mental fluctuation came from the cicada pupa.
The next second, the airtight cicada pupa instantly disintegrated and turned into scattered vines.
Lin Zichen, who was trapped inside, shot out like an arrow after getting out, and swam hundreds of meters away.
The hunchbacked masked man was stunned, his eyes wide open in disbelief, unable to imagine that the scene in front of him was real.
It's not an illusion!
It's not an illusion!
Lin Zichen can really use mental power to control vines!
But how is this possible!
How did he do it? !
The hunchbacked masked man was shocked beyond words, and for a moment he thought he was dreaming.
This is not as simple as being comparable to the aliens.
It's far superior to the aliens!
Even the most talented aliens he has ever seen would be eclipsed in front of Lin Zichen, and have no qualifications to be compared with him!
"There is a secret!"
"There must be a big secret in Lin Zichen!"
"Bringing him back to the main sect will definitely be a great achievement that will shock the entire sect!"
"Maybe, I can use this to get key support from the sect and hopefully reach the epic level!"
Thinking of this, the hunchback masked man's breathing became rapid, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.
Then he immediately jumped into the water to capture Lin Zichen himself.
Seeing that the hunchback masked man no longer used vines, but jumped into the water to chase him.
Lin Zichen knew that he could no longer continue to seduce him, and he had to show his real ability to get out.
Otherwise, if he really fell into the hands of the hunchback masked man, he would completely lose the chance to turn the tables.
"It's time to get out. I hope Hanhan and the others have escaped far enough..."
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen had an idea and used the biological attribute [Natural Camouflage] to hide all his breath.
Then he quickly swam to a towering tree in front of him, and with the help of the tree's cover, he instantly disappeared from the sight of the hunchbacked masked man.
Seeing this, the hunchbacked masked man quickly chased after him.
In less than two seconds, he swam behind the tree.
Then he found that Lin Zichen's figure had completely disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone.
There were only thick tree trunks soaked in water.
Where was he?
In just two seconds, where could he swim to?
How could he suddenly disappear?
The hunchbacked masked man was full of doubts.
Soon, he had an idea, and he spread his mental power to cover the area within a kilometer radius, using mental perception to find the disappeared Lin Zichen.
He guessed that Lin Zichen should be hiding behind a towering tree.
As long as the mental power spread out, he could quickly find Lin Zichen's figure and capture him back to the sect.
However, when his mental power completely covered the area within a kilometer radius, he could not find Lin Zichen.
What happened? !
Why can't he sense his presence? !
The hunchbacked masked man was confused, and couldn't understand why Lin Zichen disappeared completely.
After being confused, he was anxious.
Lin Zichen was his cash cow, and he couldn't accept that the duck in his mouth flew away.
"It's impossible for a person to disappear suddenly!"
"He must be around!"
"He must be hiding somewhere!"
The hunchbacked masked man thought to himself, and once again dispersed his mental power.
This time, he no longer dispersed his mental power to cover the surrounding area.
Instead, he used his mental power to control the towering trees around him, shaking them frantically, trying to find Lin Zichen's figure from them.
Unfortunately, no matter how he shook, he could not find Lin Zichen's figure.
It seemed that Lin Zichen had left this area.
Instead of hiding behind or on top of a giant tree as he thought.
"How can he run away!"
"How can he run away!"
"If he hadn't been caught alive, he wouldn't have had a chance to escape from me!"
The hunchbacked masked man became more and more angry, and controlled a large number of vines to frantically whip the surrounding giant trees to vent his anger.
In just a moment, dozens of giant trees were uprooted and smashed into the water with a few loud bangs, splashing water all over the sky.
He couldn't accept the fact that Lin Zichen ran away.
As a rare-level strong man, he was actually played by an ordinary-level creature. This is an unbearable shame!
After venting his anger like this.
The hunchbacked masked man calmed down a little.
He rushed out of the water and landed on a giant tree that was not knocked down by the vines.
While looking at everything around him, looking for Lin Zichen's figure.
While thinking, he wondered why Lin Zichen, since he could swim faster and escape the five senses, didn't use these two skills at the beginning?
After a brief thought, he thought of a possibility.
The reason why Lin Zichen didn't use these two skills to escape at the beginning was to seduce him and buy time for others to escape.
Now that time is almost up, he will no longer hide it, and immediately show his true strength and escape in an instant.
After figuring this out.
The hunchbacked masked man didn't waste any time, and quickly jumped up and ran to the place where Shen Qinghan and others were before.
He thought that after Lin Zichen escaped, he should return to meet Shen Qinghan and others.
If he returned to chase Shen Qinghan and others now, there is a great chance that he would meet Lin Zichen.
"Wait!"
"No!"
"I might be wrong!"
The hunchbacked masked man had just run a few hundred meters away when he suddenly stopped on the top of a towering tree.
He thought of another possibility.
He suspected that Lin Zichen did not go back to meet Shen Qinghan and others.
Instead, he went to rescue Yuan Dongzhi and liberate this rare-level combat power.
This suspicion is based on facts.
First, Lin Zichen can control vines with mental power.
Second, Lin Zichen's escape direction is the direction where the waves are coming from, and the direction where the waves are coming from is exactly the direction where Yuan Dongzhi is trapped.
Will Lin Zichen go back to meet up with his teammates?
Or will he rescue Yuan Dongzhi?
The hunchback masked man thought for a moment and finally felt that Lin Zichen was more likely to rescue Yuan Dongzhi.
So he didn't think about it anymore and immediately turned around and ran in the direction where Yuan Dongzhi was.
...
On the other side.
Lin Zichen swam quickly in the direction where the waves were coming from.
At this moment, he didn't know whether he had shaken off the pursuit of the hunchback masked man.
He only knew that he could no longer sense the existence of the hunchback masked man.
He guessed that he should be safe now.
However, it was only temporary safety.
After all, the hunchback masked man was a powerful rare-level strongman. He might have some special means of finding people and might catch up again later.
He must take advantage of this gap to find the trapped Yuan Dongzhi and rescue her.
Only if Yuan Dongzhi was saved, he and others could be saved.
Otherwise, before the rescue from the military district came, they would probably all be found one by one by the hunchback masked man, and then either killed or taken away.
About half a minute later.
Lin Zichen, who was swimming at a very fast speed, vaguely sensed the breath of Yuan Dongzhi.
He surfaced and looked in the direction of the breath.
Then, what came into view was a giant tree cage hundreds of meters high.
"Found it!"
Lin Zichen's heart moved slightly.
Then he immediately dived back into the water and swam towards the tree cage at the fastest speed.
About ten seconds later.
Lin Zichen swam a distance of thousands of meters and finally entered the tree cage.
He quickly surfaced and saw that Yuan Dongzhi, who was usually high and mighty, was now entangled with strange blood-colored vines and hung in the air, unable to move, looking extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, he immediately thought of giving a command to the blood-colored vines wrapped around Yuan Dongzhi: Loosen!
Under the effect of [Lord of the Forest].
The blood-colored vines on Yuan Dongzhi immediately loosened up a little when they heard Lin Zichen's "loosen" command.
Because Lin Zichen's mental strength was not high, the loosening of these blood-colored vines was quite limited, and they just became less tight.
However, this was enough for Yuan Dongzhi.
At the moment when the blood-colored vines loosened slightly, Yuan Dongzhi's blood and qi burst out instantly, and she suddenly broke free of all the blood-colored vines on her body.
She did not connect the sudden loosening of the blood-colored vines with Lin Zichen, thinking that she had struggled for a long time and finally broke free from the restraints of the blood-colored vines.
"Principal Yuan!"
Seeing that Yuan Dongzhi successfully escaped, Lin Zichen shouted at her.
Yuan Dongzhi looked at him in the direction of the voice, with a somewhat surprised look on her face: "Why are you here? When did you come here?"
Like the hunchbacked masked man, she could not sense Lin Zichen who used [Natural Disguise].
Lin Zichen explained: "I was just being hunted down by the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult. I escaped all the way here with my excellent water skills and just happened to find you here."
He didn't tell Yuan Dongzhi that he had saved her and helped her untangle the bloody vines.
The biological level can be exposed, the mental strength can also be exposed, but the fact that you can control the vines must not be exposed.
Yuan Dongzhi looked incredible: "How could you escape the pursuit of the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult?"
As soon as the voice fell, a series of loud air-breaking sounds suddenly came from outside the tree cage.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Yuan Dongzhi, who heard the movement, immediately sent out his mental power to sense it.
When she sensed that the hunchbacked masked man was rushing towards the tree cage at a high speed, her face suddenly changed slightly.
"The Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Sect is here, let's go!"
After saying this, Yuan Dongzhi jumped into the water, stretched out her hand to hug Lin Zichen into her arms, and with her superb swimming ability, she took him to escape in the water.
She knew that she was no match for the hunchbacked masked man, and she knew that escaping with Lin Zichen was the right choice.
