Chapter 241  : Chapter 241  : S-level Mutated Poisonous Scorpion (Fifth Update)

Since there was no escape, Lin Zhen quickly made a decision. There was only one way to shake off Yue Zhenhua’s pursuit.

Enter the poison fog area!

Lin Zhen had been studying this poison fog area for a long time. The width of White Dragon Lake was about ten kilometers, and with the speed of his Lightning Wings, he could pass through it in fifteen seconds.

But some time ago, Lin Zhen tested how long his Spiritual Shield could withstand the poison fog, which was only twenty seconds.

At that time, the one-time speed of sound increase of the Lightning Wings was not enough to support Lin Zhen to pass through the poison fog area. But now that the Lightning Wings have recovered after twenty days, they have reached twice the speed of sound, which is enough for him to pass through the area.

Once he crossed the poison fog area, it would be the Crane Lake region, and Lin Zhen didn’t believe that Yue Zhenhua could still pursue him there.

Although he didn’t know the situation at Crane Lake, Lin Zhen believed that those poisoning scorpions wouldn’t be flying around randomly. As long as he could find a place to settle, he could slowly practice. After all, he had collected a lot of A-level Mutated Crystals in his Space Ring, enough for him to practice until he reached the Sixth-level Peak.

Having made up his mind, Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua flew one after another, while He Liu continued to block the entrance to the tunnel.

Yue Zhenhua had a green whirlwind surrounding him that pushed his speed to the limit.

He had always been confident in his own speed, even daring to compete with an ordinary Star Realm in speed, but he never thought that he wouldn’t be able to catch up with Lin Zhen, the distance between them remaining the same.

“This kid really has good luck, actually getting such a treasure that helps with flying. But it doesn’t matter, the poison fog area of White Dragon Lake is up ahead. I’ll see where you run then!”

Ma Yao and Wei Li saw Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua flying back from a distance, hid far away, and dared not to approach. They didn’t want to participate in the battle between them.

Lin Zhen didn’t care about the two of them and, seeing that he was getting close to the poison fog area of White Dragon Lake, flashed a golden light on his body and covered it with a Spiritual Shield’

“Yue Zhenhua, let’s see if you have the guts to chase me!”

With a flutter of his Lightning Wings, ions surged, and Lin Zhen rushed into the poison fog area.

Yue Zhenhua was about to go crazy. He roared, “Lin Zhen, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will surely die today!”

A fierce hurricane surrounding him, he managed to forcefully repel the poison fog and dive into the foggy area.

Like two fighter jets traversing the sea of clouds, the two sped forward, and the poison fog tumbled around them.

Lin Zhen only felt his spiritual power being consumed rapidly, the fog was so dense that it was like a viscous liquid. If it weren’t for his Spiritual Shield’s protection, he would probably be a skeleton flying in the air.

But the Lightning Wings were truly a treasure. As they flapped, they blew away a lot of the poison fog, allowing Lin Zhen to continue forward smoothly.

The situation was much worse for Yue Zhenhua, who pursued behind. Although the wind blew away the poison fog, it exponentially increased the consumption of his energy.

“This isn’t good! This poison fog is too overbearing. I’m not going to make it out of the poison fog area at this rate!”

Yue Zhenhua saw Lin Zhen rushing forward recklessly and finally hesitated. So what if he got through the poison fog area? There were swarms of S-level Mutated Poison Scorpions there, wouldn’t that mean he would be seeking death?

Yes, he wanted to avenge his son by killing Lin Zhen, but nothing was more important than saving his own life.

As Chen Fenglie and he had said, as long as Yue Zhenhua could advance to the Star Realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about having sons or a long life, as long as he was still alive.

So Yue Zhenhua finally backed off. While he still had the strength to retreat, he turned around and left the poison fog area, returning to Yan Mountain Lake.

“Lin Zhen! You little bastard! If you dare, never come out of there! I’ll stay here until the knockout stage of the War God’s competition begins. By then, you’ll have only three possibilities: either you’ll be corroded by the poison fog, eaten by the poison scorpions, or just simply don’t have time to participate in the competition! Hahaha! Let’s see what you can do!”

Yue Zhenhua laughed wildly, like a madman.

At this moment, avenging his son had become a secondary matter. He had to make sure Lin Zhen wouldn’t die an easy death so his road to advancing to the Star Realm would be smooth.

Ma Yao and Wei Li were brought over by Yue Zhenhua, whose daily tasks were to cook and collect crystals.

He Liu was always in charge of guarding the exit of the tunnel, preventing Lin

Zhen from escaping. Yue Zhenhua would stay at the boundary between Yan Mountain Lake and White Dragon Lake, waiting for Lin Zhen to emerge every day. He was determined to wear Lin Zhen down.

“The head of the Gale Martial Arts Hall personally hunts down Lin Zhen, trapping him in the White Dragon Lake poison fog area of the Five Connected Pools, shutting him down and causing a genius to potentially miss the knockout stage of the War God’s competition!”

“Yue Zhenhua disregards his status and takes action, Lin Zhen’s life is in jeopardy!”

“Lin Zhen kills Tong Yuehu in the Five Connected Pools, Gale’s disciple becomes Gale’s mortal enemy!”

One by one, fresh news articles like these attracted countless people’s attention.

With Yue Zhenhua tearing away his dignity, Lin Zhen, even if he didn’t die, would face difficulties participating in the War God’s knockout stage.

According to the rules of the War God’s competition, the knockout stage would be determined by a draw. If a contestant couldn’t participate, their opponent would advance directly without having in fight

If Lin Zhen couldn’t participate, he would be eliminated in the first round.

Many people lamented this turn of events, and many cursed Yue Zhenhua for disregarding the country’s honor for personal gain.

Of course, there were still many people supporting Yue Zhenhua, after all, he was still the chief of Gale Martial Arts Hall, a highly respected position, and his son was indeed killed by Lin Zhen, so avenging his son was only natural.

Many people in Hua Xia were discussing this matter, but the foreigners were mostly celebrating with raised hands.

Especially in the Sand Russia region, many people were celebrating that Lin Zhen, who eliminated their three Sand Russian warriors, was finally in trouble, not only unable to advance but possibly even losing his life.

Huoluluofu slammed the table after seeing the report: “Lin Zhen! If you were eliminated like this, it would be too easy for you. Otherwise, I would tear you apart in front of a global audience!”

Duke of the United States saw Lin Zhen’s situation and sighed, “Another interesting opponent is gone.”

Shah and Omar of India looked at each other and laughed, “It seems that we have one less strong enemy, and our India’s ranking may rise as a result.”

At the African Federation, Brazilian War Gods saw this and either rejoiced in misfortune or sighed deeply, saddened that they could not fight against the famous Lin Zhen.

In the European Union, at the Mediterranean training camp, Chris, who had already begun fighting ocean giant beasts and undergoing demonic training, saw the news about Lin Zhen, bit her red lips, and looked eastward: “Lin Zhen, you must be strong and not give up. Before you lose to me, you must not lose to anyone.”

Far away on the moon, at the edge of a crater, Su Mingyue, who was adjusting her inner breath, suddenly opened her eyes.

“I feel so sad in my heart. My radiant power is causing me palpitations. Is it the effect of the companion star crystal? I miss him… What happened to him?”

Seeing Su Mingyue distracted, Gongsun Du beside her said, “Yue’er! What are you up to? You must train hard and quickly break through to Advanced War God if you want to achieve good results in the War God’s Knockout. Do you think everyone has the opportunity to leave Earth and train on the moon like you?” Su Mingyue reluctantly closed her eyes and continued training, silently praying for Lin Zhen in her heart.

Lin Zhen was unaware of the outside world, and he finally rushed out of the poison fog zone within fourteen seconds.

The spiritual barrier on his body was close to exhaustion. Even with his dark gold late stage spiritual power, it was extremely difficult to break through the poisonous fog. If it were not for the Lightning Wings, it would be impossible.

After breaking through the poison fog zone, Lin Zhen withdrew his spiritual barrier and looked ahead.

Under his feet was the edge of White Dragon Lake and Crane Lake. In front of him, a large expanse of surging blue waves and the air seemed to be much better than the previous three lakes.

Crane Lake was like a giant blue gemstone, with the lake shimmering between the mountains, surrounded by a pleasant climate, moist and warm air.

The thick fog in the sky dome was like a lid, turning this place into a paradise.

Lin Zhen’s feet slowly moved forward, heading towards Crane Lake.

Just as he was about to approach Crane Lake within 500 meters, a black shadow suddenly rose into the sky and rushed towards Lin Zhen!

It was a poisonous scorpion as big as a small car, with double wings on its ribs, thick armor on its body, and wielding two huge pincers!

Its long tail was like a hook, shining in the dark, and in the blink of an eye, the poisonous scorpion had already reached Lin Zhen!

S-level Mutated Scorpion!

Lin Zhen swung his Broken Jade Spear to resist the scorpion’s pincers!

A loud clang, Lin Zhen’s footsteps staggered backward, the gap between the two sides’ strength was huge!

The scorpion’s tail suddenly shot out nearly ten meters, fiercely stab towards Lin Zhen’s head.

Instant teleportation!

Lin Zhen instantly moved a hundred meters away, breaking out in a cold sweat, as if he could still feel the Reaper passing by him just now.

Before he could steady himself, the scorpion was already in front of him again, with incredible speed.

Lin Zhen’s figure flashed, and he teleported again!

This time Lin Zhen had experience, and after the teleportation, he flapped the Lightning Wings and headed straight for the distance, while the scorpion continued chasing him.

He flew several thousand meters away in a matter of seconds, already far away from the Crane Lake area and approaching the spewing volcanic area. The scorpion then returned to Crane Lake with a flap of its wings, no longer pursuing Lin Zhen.

“What a tough creature, this thing really has territorial awareness, which is a characteristic of S-level mutated beasts. As long as it’s out in the world, it can be king,”

Lin Zhen vaguely saw that as the scorpion landed, a swarm of scorpions flew up from the water’s surface, as if to welcome the victorious return of the scorpion.

“They’re even in groups, too hard to deal with.”

Lin Zhen no longer headed towards the edge of Crane Lake, and as for the fifth volcanic lake, Ruyi Lake, which was even further away and towering high, he had no intention of going there at all.

He set his sights on a nearby erupting volcano on the edge of the Fire Burning Mountain!

Only in the poisonous fog and thick smoke that separated them was it safe. Lin Zhen was going to continue his cultivation here..
