Hearing Lin Zhen say this, Dongfang Jun was stunned, “You don’t know?”
Lin Zhen suddenly felt heavy, was it not a lie what Adams and his group said?
“Brother Dongfang, what has happened? I haven’t had internet access for a while, and I don’t know the situation outside.” Lin Zhen asked.
Dongfang Jun sighed and told Lin Zhen everything that had happened during this time.
Ice City is still besieged by the Mutated Beasts, and An Ning is inside.
Their parents were captured by the Gods Clan, and Li Yao died in battle.
Su Mingyue announced her withdrawal from the Gods Clan and her whereabouts are unknown.
Lin Zhen really didn’t know these things. After listening, he felt heavy.
Dongfang Jun said to Lin Zhen, “Little brother Lin, I still want to persuade you not to return to the Gods Clan to save your parents immediately. They have been captured for some time, and forgive me for being blunt, but with your current strength, there is no assurance of success. Not only would you be unable to save your parents, but you might lose your own life.”
Lin Zhen nodded, “I know these things, but I can’t wait too long. The situation is different now. I have fought face-to-face with Yan Huang, and many things have been torn apart. Moreover, the Gods Clan is in a precarious situation, and I must be careful of Yan Huang’s desperate actions.”
Dongfang Jun thought for a moment, “Yan Huang hasn’t canceled his wedding date yet, so he must have some calculations. There are only 20 days left until his wedding.
Huo Luofu roared and charged, Yan Huang brandishing his longsword to meet him. Lin Zhen circled around from the side, apparently trying to attack Huo Luofu’s rear
Hearing Lin Zhen say this, Luo Yun immediately slapped the table, “Alright, then let’s set off after our meal, and strive to gain some decent harvest within half a month.”
After eating a hot pot meal, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, and Lin Zhen went to the South Pole together.
Lin Zhen had embedded the core of Raging Fire in his armor early on to protect himself from the extreme cold of the South Pole.
At the place where the sky and the Aurora converge, Luo Yun pointed to the sky.
“The place where the Aurora appears is the entrance to the third layer. The three-headed Hellhound guards the entrance. Its den should contain Holy Artifacts. If we can kill it, we will definitely gain something.”
Dongfang Jun added, “Brother Lin, be careful. The three heads of the Hellhound can spray different elemental powers. One head can emit corrosive poison, one head can emit fierce fire, and one head can emit freezing air. The most troublesome thing is that corrosive poison.”
“It’s okay, I think I can handle it.” Lin Zhen was immune to all poisons, not fearing any venom.
“Alright, let’s go!”
The three of them leaped into the sky at almost the same time and charged straight towards the Aurora point of the South Pole.
The Star Realm warriors below watched the three of them disappear into the entrance of the third layer, admiring when they would be able to have the prestige of the Star List experts.
Although Lin Zhen was still a quasi-Star Realm, in the eyes of most Star Realm warriors, he was already a senior.
Crossing the Aurora area to reach the entrance of the third layer, Lin Zhen felt the Star List in his Spiritual Consciousness Sea flicker. The light screen of the third layer opened, and he, Luo Yun, and Dongfang Jun entered.
Inside the third layer was somewhat dim, and as soon as they entered, they felt a rotten smell. The ground was made of black soil. As Lin Zhen and the others appeared, a huge Ghoul nearby roared and pounced over.
This was a quasi-SS Class Mutated Beast. Lin Zhen could now easily kill it alone. With the combined efforts of the three, the beast was killed within ten seconds.
Looking at the Ghoul’s disgusting body, Lin Zhen frowned slightly, “Is this still a mutated beast?”
“No, this is not a mutated beast, and it’s not even an Earth creature. These things are called Warcraft. The entire third layer is filled with similar monsters, but their levels correspond to those of Mutated Beasts. For example, these quasi-SS Class Ghouls are the weakest in the third layer.”
Just as Luo Yun finished speaking, a loud roar was heard, and his face changed,
“The three-headed Hellhound is coming.”
Lin Zhen released Xiao Nuan, and after coming out, Xiao Nuan immediately devoured the dead body of the Ghoul.
There was a tremor on the ground, and a huge monster over five meters tall and more than ten meters long rushed over. Water was dripping from its three enormous heads, making it extremely terrifying.
“Go! According to the plan, Lin Zhen, you deal with the middle head that spits corrosive poison, and the two of us will deal with the ones on either side!”
“Let’s go!”
Lin Zhen gripped his spear, preparing for his first battle against an SS Class Warcraft.
As the three-headed Hellhound roared towards them, Dongfang Jun and Luo Yun launched their attacks simultaneously. Both of them wielded Lower Grade Holy Artifact swords, one using the ice element and the other using the fire element. They continuously flew, moving instantaneously around the Hellhound to create opportunities for Lin Zhen.
Without the worry of the two side heads, Lin Zhen’s Lightning Wings flapped, and he charged at the middle head!
The Hellhound’s huge mouth opened wide, and a stream of poison sprayed out. But Lin Zhen suddenly accelerated, rushing through the poison.).
Lin Zhen felt a burning sensation on his body, and except for the Sacred Armor and Lightning Wings, the other Star Artifacts were corroded and quickly lost their effectiveness.
But Lin Zhen was not affected. After absorbing the Cinnabar Stones from the Five Connected Pools, Lin Zhen’s body was immune to any toxins. He charged at the Hellhound, and with a flick of his wrist, the golden Seven Stars Knife appeared in his hand and slashed fiercely!
“Pft!”
The mouth of the Hellhound was torn open by Lin Zhen, revealing a wound one meter long, with the skin and flesh turning outwards, making it scream in pain!
Unexpectedly, the venom had no effect on Lin Zhen. After being hit by a knife, the Hellhound became more ferocious, opening its mouth wide and biting towards Lin Zhen.
Just as the dog’s mouth was about to close, Lin Zhen teleported!
He teleported to the top of the Hellhound’s head and slashed it viciously again!
Blood splattered, causing the Hellhound to go completely mad.
The left head abandoned Dongfang Jun and bit towards Lin Zhen, but Luo Yun came just in time to support with a fireball, saving Lin Zhen’s life.
The right head bit at Luo Yun, while Dongfang Jun shot out an Ice Knife, saving Luo Yun once more.
Meanwhile, the middle head sprayed venom at Dongfang Jun. Lin Zhen blocked it with his body and ruthlessly shot an energy ball into the Hellhound’s mouth, turning its insides into a mess.
No single person could possibly deal with this SS-level Mutated Beast, but with the combined power of the three top Star List experts, they managed to hold on.
The lion-sized Xiao Nuan also played a significant role now. The Galaxy Beast was extremely fast, and it specifically targeted the Hellhound’s rear. Every time it attacked, it would bite off a large chunk of flesh and swallow it down in just a few bites.
The Hellhound was already struggling to deal with the three formidable fighters and had no time to deal with Xiao Nuan’s constant harassment.
The battle was full of twists and turns, with the three of them almost dying several times. Fortunately, they didn’t abandon each other and supported each other to keep going.
After more than an hour of tough battle, it was finally Xiao Nuan who bit off one of the Hellhound’s legs. The three seized the opportunity to launch a major counterattack.
Everyone gave their all—Lin Zhen’s Star Weapon Spear was destroyed by the Hellhound’s venom. Instead, he used the energy balls as bombs, blasting the Hellhound’s middle head to pieces.
Slowed down and severely injured, the Hellhound couldn’t withstand the combined assault of the three and a beast anymore and eventually died.
Once the fight was over, they all lay on the ground, exhausted from the intense battle.
No wonder the third layer requires Star List experts; any Star Realm individual would be sending themselves to death.
After recovering for quite some time, Lin Zhen was the first to get up. He took three Crystals from the Hellhound’s body and gave the huge carcass to the meritorious Xiao Nuan as a reward.
This was an SS-level feast for Xiao Nuan, who gleefully pounced on it and enjoyed eating.
At this time, Luo Yun stood up: “Let’s hurry to the Hellhound’s nest, there must be good things there.”
The three rushed through and arrived at the entrance of the Hellhound’s cave
in a minute.
Entering the cave, there were no other creatures. They reached the end, where the shining treasure made their eyes light up.
A Lower Grade Holy Artifact Armor, a Lower Grade Holy Artifact Boots, a
Middle Grade Holy Artifact Sword, and a Middle Grade Holy Artifact Spear.
Luo Yun picked up the four Holy Artifacts and burst into laughter: “Great! This trip wasn’t in vain. This Hellhound has collected quite a few good items.” Everyone gathered around, their faces full of joy.
Finally, Luo Yun allocated the items. He kept the Middle Grade Holy Artifact sword for himself, while giving his original Lower Grade Holy Artifact sword and the armor to Dongfang Jun.
As for the boots and the spear, they were given to Lin Zhen. All of them were delighted.
Lin Zhen was the biggest winner of this battle, but it was also because he contributed the most. Without his immune body, it would be difficult for anyone to deal with the three-headed Hellhound, unless they were particularly strong, like those old ghosts from the Heavenly Star List.
Holding the spear in his hand, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but feel thrilled.
The Middle-Grade Holy Artifact spear, called Raging Light, was 3-5 meters long and weighed 1,400 kilograms. With a shining golden body and razor-sharp tip, it exuded an ancient aura from inside to out.
Lin Zhen swung it a few times reveling in the brilliance. He grew fond of his new weapon.
“If Lin had this spear just now, the three Hellhounds would have been killed much earlier. Watching Lin deal with the Hellhounds with a small knife made me so worried for him,” Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun laughed heartily.
Lin Zhen also put on the Lower Grade Holy Artifact boots. He now had three Holy Artifacts on his body.
“As soon as I get the Earth Elemental Core, I’ll leave this place right away. There are still many people waiting for me outside…” Lin Zhen secretly made up his mind.
Just as they finished dividing the spoils, Xiao Nuan suddenly ran in from outside.
Seeing Xiao Nuan again, Lin Zhen was shocked – was this still Xiao Nuan?
