CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 199: DISGUISED AS ALIEN RACE TO ENTER THE CITY, HOLY PATH

Seeing Lu Lin awaken, the three of them were overwhelmed with excitement and quickly ran up to him, asking about his well-being.

"That crystal stone is actually a Soul Devouring Crystal?"

"It can devour a person’s spiritual strength?"

"Did you fall into a coma because you had too much spiritual strength absorbed?"

"So if that’s the case, the Saint isn’t actually dead, just had his spirit devoured by the Soul Devouring Crystal?"

The questions came one after another.

"Yes, but even though this Soul Devouring Crystal is evil, it’s not without its usefulness."

"I’ve actually been awake for a while, just now searching through some info in the Mad Blade Secret Realm, and finally found it."

"The Soul Devouring Crystal, once it’s filled with spiritual strength, turns into a Soul Crystal, which is very beneficial for cultivating spiritual strength."

"When its spiritual strength is depleted, it turns back into a Soul Devouring Crystal."

"Let’s keep this thing for now and study it further once we return."

After Lu Lin spoke, he also stood up and walked over to the Saint, breaking his fingers one by one to extract the Soul Crystal.

"Team leader, do we still want the Saint’s body?"

Fang Gang asked.

"Yes."

"It’s our mission target this time."

"Just put him into the Storage Ring."

Lu Lin said as he tried to put the Saint in, but after two attempts, he couldn’t succeed.

"Team leader, why aren’t you putting him in?"

"Hurry up, once he’s packed, we can make our escape."

Fang Gang urged.

"I can’t get him in."

"Forget it, I’ll just carry him back; he’s not that heavy, anyway."

Lu Lin said awkwardly, but when he tried to lift him, he almost couldn’t manage.

Even though the Saint looked slim and pale, he probably weighed a ton.

Probably only Lu Lin could manage to carry him.

The three of them found some rope and tied the Saint to Lu Lin’s back.

Lu Lin adjusted him and felt it was alright, then smiled and said, "Okay, no matter what, we’ve completed our mission."

"Let’s move out."

The four-person team walked out of the cave, but just after descending the mountain, Lu Lin sensed something amiss.

His perception told him that an alien race was ambushing up ahead.

"Mr. Bai, there’s an alien race up ahead; you deal with it."

"Okay."

Bai Buyi responded, summoning the Dread Lion.

In front, there were over a dozen aliens with half of their bodies embedded in the ground, known as the Earth-Breaking Tribe.

Even in battle with the Dread Lion, they kept half of their bodies buried.

When the Dread Lion attacked, they would duck down and burrow into the ground.

Even in the darkness, Lu Lin could see that they had no lower half, or rather, their lower bodies were formed of a ring-shaped segmented structure like earthworms.

This was Lu Lin’s first time seeing such a bizarre alien race.

Previously along the way, the most he had encountered were the Dark Silk Clan, Crane Feather Clan, and Sky-swallowing Rat Clan, which were basically human-like in appearance, with only slight differences in looks and habits.

But this Broken Earth Alien Race were literally half-human, half-earthworm, freely burrowing back and forth in the ground.

"Get lost!"

As he was thinking, a half earthworm-man from the Earth-Breaking Tribe suddenly popped out from under Lu Lin’s feet, attempting to attack.

Lu Lin shouted, delivering a swift kick.

Even though his Inch Tick technique had been enlightened at the Shangqiu Acupoint during the battle with the Saint, this kick was still powerful.

Caught off guard, the half earthworm-man was kicked and sent flying.

As the body flew through the air, the long, segmented structure flailed about, making it visually nauseating.

"Flame Snake."

Chen Xiran unleashed a star skill, squatting down and retching uncontrollably.

Bai Buyi’s eyes lit up at Lu Lin and Chen Xiran’s teamwork.

"Xi Ran, keep going."

Meanwhile, the Dread Lion bit an Earth-Breaking Tribe member, dragging them from the ground and tossing them towards Chen Xiran.

"Gag."

"Flame Snake."

Seeing the half earthworm-man flying at her, Chen Xiran gagged and then used a star skill to burn it to ashes.

"Brother Bai, no, I can’t—"

"Gag."

Chen Xiran pleaded, squatting to retch again.

Bai Buyi said, "Chen Xiran, quickly, there’s more."

Chen Xiran looked up to see two half earthworm-men writhing towards her in midair.

"Gag."

"Flame Snake, Flame Snake."

"Brother Bai, enough, I really can’t keep going."

Chen Xiran pleaded endlessly.

While she wasn’t afraid of fighting anymore, these revolting creatures were too much to handle.

"It’s okay, it’s your first time; you’ll get used to it."

"When I first encountered the half earthworm people, I even dissected their ring-shaped segmented structures for study; the protein within is very rich..."

"Gag, Brother Bai, stop, gog, stop, don’t say any more."

"I’ll fight, okay?"

Hearing the nauseating details from Bai Buyi, Chen Xiran realized she had to overcome this obstacle no matter what.

While feeling her stomach churn, she moved to the Dread Lion.

Whenever a half earthworm-person popped up, she’d strike them with a Flame Snake skill.

Given the choice, she’d rather eliminate them the moment they surfaced than face the writhing, dirt-smeared, slime-covered lower bodies.

Soon, the dozen or so half earthworm-people were wiped out by the combined efforts of Chen Xiran and the Dread Lion.

"What’s going on here?"

"When we came through before, wasn’t this area known to be deserted?"

Lu Lin frowned and asked.

Having just eliminated the half earthworm people, his perception then detected more aliens rushing their way.
