S-Class Mutated Venom Scorpion
Since there was no way out, Lin Zhen quickly made up his mind that there was only one way to shake off Yue Zhenhua's pursuit.
Entering the Poison Mist Zone!
Lin Zhen has studied this Poison Mist Zone for a long time. The width of White Dragon Lake is about ten kilometers. If Lin Zhen wants to pass through, he can do so in fifteen seconds with the speed of the Lightning Wings.
Some time ago, Lin Zhen tested how long his Mental Power shield could last under the Poison Mist, and it only lasted for twenty seconds.
At that time, the Lightning Wings's acceleration at one time of sound was not enough to help Lin Zhen pass through the Poison Mist Zone, but now, after twenty days of nurturing, the Lightning Wings has reached twice the speed of sound, which is enough to pass through.
After passing the Poison Mist Zone, they would be in the Crane Cry Lake area. Lin Zhen didn't believe Yue Zhenhua could catch up.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like at Crane Cry Lake, Lin Zhen believed that the Poison Scorpion wouldn't be flying around everywhere. As long as he had a place to stay, he could slowly cultivate. In any case, he had already collected a large number of A-Rank mutated crystals in his Space Ring, enough for Lin Zhen to cultivate to the peak of level six.
Having made up their minds, Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua flew one after the other, He Liu continued to block the entrance to the Mountain Tunnel.
A blue wind swirled around Yue Zhenhua, pushing his speed to its limit.
He had always been absolutely confident in his speed. Even against ordinary Stellar Realm, Yue Zhenhua dared to compete with him in speed. However, he never expected that he couldn't catch up with Lin Zhen. The distance between the two remained the same.
"That kid's really lucky, managing to get his hands on such a treasure that enhances flight. But it's nothing, the Poison Mist Zone of White Dragon Lake is just ahead. Let's see where you'll run then!"
Ma Yao and Wei Li saw Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua fly back from afar and were so frightened that they hid in the distance, not daring to get close, and had no intention of participating in their fight.
Lin Zhen ignored the two people and, as he approached the Poison Mist Zone of White Dragon Lake, a golden light flashed on his body, and a Mental Power shield covered his body!
"Yue Zhenhua, try chasing him again if you dare!"
With his Lightning Wings flapping and Lightning Ions surging, Lin Zhen charged into the Poison Mist Zone.
Yue Zhenhua was practically going crazy. He roared, "Lin Zhen, it's no use running to the ends of the earth! You're going to die today!"
The hurricane around him suddenly surged, forming a hurricane-like airflow that actually forced back the Poison Mist. Yue Zhenhua then plunged into the Poison Mist Zone.
It was like two fighter jets flying through a sea of clouds, with two people roaring forward amidst billowing Poison Mist.
Lin Zhen felt his Mental Power being rapidly depleted. The Poison Mist was so thick it was like a viscous liquid. If it weren't for the Mental Power shield protecting him, he would probably be a skeleton flying in the air by now.
However, the Lightning Wings were indeed a valuable treasure. With each gust, they dispersed much of the Poison Mist, allowing Lin Zhen to proceed smoothly.
Yue Zhenhua, who was behind him, was not doing well. Although the Poison Mist was blown away by the wind, the consumption of Yue Zhenhua's energy increased tenfold.
"Oh no! This Poison Mist is so potent! At this rate, I'll never be able to escape the Poison Mist Zone!"
Seeing Lin Zhen rushing forward recklessly, Yue Zhenhua finally hesitated.
Even if I manage to get through the Poison Mist Zone, so what? There are swarms of S-Class Mutated Venom Scorpion over there. Going there would be suicide.
He did want to kill Lin Zhen to avenge his son, but nothing was more important than his own life.
Just as Chen Fenglie and he said, as long as Yue Zhenhua can advance to the Stellar Realm, let alone one son, he could have a hundred sons in the long years to come, as long as he can still live.
So Yue Zhenhua finally retreated. While he still had the strength to back down, he turned and left the Poison Mist Zone, returning to Yanshan Lake.
"Lin Zhen! You little bastard! If you're so capable, then don't ever come out again. I'll stay here until the God of War Arena Knockout Round begin. At that time, you only have three possibilities: either you'll be rotted by the Poison Mist, you'll be eaten by Poison Scorpion, or you simply won't have time to participate in the competition. Hahaha! Let's see what you can do then!"
Yue Zhenhua laughed Zhang Kuang, like a Madman.
At this moment, avenging his son was secondary; he had to see Lin Zhen suffer a terrible death so that his path to advancing to the Stellar Realm would be smooth.
Ma Yao and Wei Li were brought here by Yue Zhenhua, and their daily task was to cook and collect crystals.
He Liu was responsible for guarding the exit of the Mountain Tunnel to prevent Lin Zhen from escaping, while Yue Zhenhua stayed at the junction of Yanshan Lake and White Dragon Lake, waiting for Lin Zhen to come out every day. He was planning to wear Lin Zhen down.
"The Grand Hall Master the Raging Wind Martial Hall personally pursued Lin Zhen, intercepting Lin Zhen at White Dragon Lake in Wudalianchi, and declared that he would be blocked until he was eliminated, meaning this genius might miss the God of War Arena Knockout Round!"
"Yue Zhenhua disregarded his status and intervened; Lin Zhen's fate is now in grave danger!"
"Lin Zhen killed Tong Yuehu within the Wudalianchi; Raging Wind Outcast is now irreconcilably opposed to Raging Wind!"
One report after another was published, attracting the attention of countless people.
With Yue Zhenhua's blatant disregard for propriety, even if Lin Zhen survives, it will be difficult for him to participate in the Knockout Round of the God of War Arena again.
According to the rules of the God of War Arena, the Knockout Round are conducted by drawing lots. If a participant is unable to participate, then his opponent will advance directly without having to fight.
If Lin Zhen cannot participate, she will be eliminated in the first round.
Many people felt sorry for him, while many others condemned Yue Zhenhua for disregarding national honor for personal gain.
Of course, there are also many people supporting Yue Zhenhua. After all, he is the head of the Raging Wind Grand Hall Master and has a very high status. In addition, his son did die at the hands of Lin Zhen, so it is only natural for him to avenge his son.
Many people in Huaxia are debating this matter, but many abroad are celebrating with open arms.
Especially in the Tsarist Russia region, many people were celebrating that Lin Zhen, who had eliminated Tsardom of Russia Three Warriors in a row, was finally going to be unlucky. Not only would he not be able to advance, but he might even lose his life.
Upon seeing the report, Kholov slammed his fist on the table. "Lin Zhen! If you're eliminated like this, you're really getting off easy. Otherwise, I would have torn you to pieces in front of the whole world!"
When Doc from the United States saw what happened to Lin Zhen, he sighed, "We've lost another interesting opponent."
Shahan and Omar from India exchanged a knowing smile, "Looks like we've lost another formidable opponent. Perhaps India's ranking can rise one place as a result."
The African Union and Brazil's War God, seeing this, either gloated or sighed with regret, lamenting that they could not confront Lin Zhen, such a prominent figure.
In the European Union's Mediterranean Sea Training Camp, Chris, who had already begun her grueling training and battles against Ocean Giant Beast, saw Lin Zhen's message. She bit her lip and gazed eastward. "Lin Zhen, you must be strong. Don't give up. You can't lose to anyone before you lose to me."
On the distant moon, beside a Ring Mountain, Su Mingyue, who was regulating her Inner Breath, suddenly opened her eyes.
"I feel so sad inside. My Radiance Power is making my heart palpitate. Is that the effect of the Lifebound Star Crystal? I miss him so much. What happened to him?"
Seeing Su Mingyue distracted, Gongsun Du said to her, "Yue'er! What are you doing? You must hurry up and train. If you want to achieve good results in the God of War Arena, you must break through to the Advanced God of War as soon as possible. Do you think everyone has the opportunity to leave Earth and train on the Moon like you?"
Su Mingyue closed her eyes helplessly and began training, silently praying for Lin Zhen in her heart.
********
Lin Zhen was completely unaware of the situation outside, and he finally broke out of the Poison Mist Zone within fourteen seconds.
His Mental Power shield was nearing exhaustion. Even with his Dark Gold Late Stage Mental Power, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the Poison Mist. If it weren't for the Lightning Wings, he wouldn't have been able to even think about it.
After breaking out of the Poison Mist Zone, Lin Zhen removed his Mental Power shield and looked ahead.
He was standing on the edge of White Dragon Lake and Crane Cry Lake. In front of him was a vast expanse of blue water. Unlike the previous three lakes, the air here seemed much better.
Crane Cry Lake is like a giant sapphire, with gentle ripples amidst the surrounding scenery. The climate is pleasant, with humid and warm air.
The thick haze in the Sky Dome acted like a lid, enveloping this place and turning it into a paradise.
Lin Zhen slowly moved his feet, heading towards Crane Cry Lake.
Just as they approached Crane Cry Lake less than 500 meters away, a dark shadow suddenly rose into the air ahead and rushed towards Lin Zhen!
It was a Poison Scorpion the size of a small car, with wings growing from its ribs, covered in a thick carapace, and wielding two enormous pincers!
Its long, hook-like tail gleamed eerily in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the Poison Scorpion was upon them!
S-Class Mutated Venom Scorpion!
Lin Zhen brandished the Broken Jade Long Spear, bracing against the Poison Scorpion's pincers!
With a loud clang, Lin Zhen staggered backward, the difference in strength between the two was enormous!
The Poison Scorpion's tail suddenly shot out nearly ten meters long, fiercely stabbing at Lin Zhen's head.
Teleport!
Lin Zhen dodged a hundred meters away in an instant, breaking out in a cold sweat. He could still feel death brushing past him.
Before he could even regain his footing, the Poison Scorpion pounced on him again with incredible speed.
Lin Zhen's figure flashed, and Teleport again!
This time, Lin Zhen had learned from experience. After Teleport, he flapped his Lightning Wings and immediately headed straight for the distance, with the Poison Scorpion still in pursuit.
In a matter of seconds, it flew several kilometers away, far from the area of Crane Cry Lake, and was about to enter the erupting Volcanic Zone when the Poison Scorpion flapped its wings and returned to Crane Cry Lake, without continuing to chase Lin Zhen.
"Goodness, this thing really does have a sense of territory. This is a characteristic that only S-Class Mutated Beast have. Once it goes outside, this thing can be king."
Lin Zhen vaguely saw that when the Poison Scorpion fell, a group of Poison Scorpion flew up from the water, as if welcoming the Poison Scorpion's triumphant return.
"They're social animals, and these things are really hard to deal with."
Lin Zhen stopped heading towards the edge of Crane Cry Lake, and as for the fifth Volcanic Lake, Wishful Lake, which stands even further away, he had no intention of going there at all.
He set his sights on the edge of a nearby erupting volcano, Fire Mountain!
The Poison Mist and thick smoke provide a barrier, making that the only safe place for Lin Zhen to continue his cultivation.
