Chapter 262: 176. Facing high-level powerhouses with an ordinary physique_3
Seeing that the white pill was effective, Lin Zichen immediately gave it to Shen Qinghan, and then to the others.
Soon, the unconscious people on the ground woke up one after another.
But their consciousness was still somewhat vague, and their bodies were numb and weak, unable to move for quite some time.
It could only be said that the white pills were somewhat useful, but not much.
While waiting for everyone to detoxify.
Lin Zichen, having nothing better to do, went back to the bamboo building, scavenging, and devouring the bodies of the Divine Plant Cult cultists on the ground.
To be precise, it was not devouring the bodies, but the exotic beast genes contained within the bodies.
He had killed too quickly before, taking down seven in the blink of an eye and seriously injuring one, and he had forgotten to absorb them.
Taking advantage of this free time, he went back and devoured them all.
[You have absorbed a trace of the “Ironclad Rhino” life essence]
[Ironclad Rhino Compendium: 8%]
[You have absorbed a trace of the “Sawtooth Crocodile” life essence]
[Sawtooth Crocodile Compendium: 7%]
[You have absorbed a trace of the “Ice-Fire Poison Scorpion” life essence]
[Ice-Fire Poison Scorpion Compendium: 9%]
[...]
Lin Zichen devoured a total of seven bodies consecutively, and each time he gained a new life essence, opening up progress bars for seven new compendiums.
Regarding this, he inwardly lamented it was a pity.
Unless he could directly achieve 100% and unlock the Biometric Attributes.
Otherwise, it would just be starting a progress bar, which was not as substantial as strengthening existing Biometric Attributes.
Shaking his head, Lin Zichen stopped in front of a small tree.
This small tree was growing in a very strange way.
The leaves were a deep red like blood.
The branches were covered with vein-like crevices.
Looking at it was a bit disturbing mentally.
All the Divine Plant Cult cultists in the country added together might not even number ten thousand.
After contemplating these things for a while.
Soon, Lin Zichen left the area near the bamboo building and returned to where the others were.
...
In a forest not far from the Tree Cage.
Lu Tianrong and the masked man were locked in a tense battle, evenly matched and relentless.
The deafening sounds of fierce impacts kept exploding around them.
Every tree the two passed by, towering and majestic, fell one after another, alarming the wild animals in the surrounding forests into a frenzied flight.
“So what if you force me out of the Tree Cage?”
“Do you really think a group of elite trainees, not even 20 years old, can defeat an Ordinary Ninth Rank Genetic Integrator who has fully fused genes twice?”
“Now, even if you want to go back to the Tree Cage, I won’t let you, just stay here with me and continue this indecisive struggle!”
“Hahahahaha!”
The masked man dodged an incoming chop while laughing mockingly, attacking Lu Tianrong’s mental fortitude continuously.
He aimed to provoke a strong emotional response in Lu Tianrong, the instructor, which could potentially affect his performance.
Lu Tianrong was aware of the masked man’s intentions.
But still, he was affected.
The thought of the elite trainees in the Tree Cage possibly losing to the Sect Hierarch, and then being killed or abducted by him, inevitably stirred strong emotions in him.
After all, those 20 elite trainees were future geniuses with bright prospects.
If they grew normally, they would all likely evolve into Rare Level beings in the future.
Some, with better luck and access to substantial resources for evolution in the Origin Land, might even evolve into Epic Level beings, becoming humanity’s most top-tier combat power.
If anything happened to this group of elite talents.
Then Lu Tianrong, as the leading instructor, would not be able to remedy the loss even if he died a thousand times over.
Lu Tianrong knew this very well.
Considering this, he hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, activating his Exotic Beast Gene well beyond its usual limit.
120% activation of the Four-Armed Demon Ape Gene!
