Qi Qingmo's Whereabouts! Encountering an Exotic Human!

"You were born and raised by Earthling, yet you chose to side with Alien Race. You only have yourself to blame."

Qin Chuan looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and said in a completely emotionless voice.

The Secretary Guan, who turned to ashes, was someone he had watched grow up, and someone he had gotten pregnant with, but he acted without the slightest hesitation, being extremely decisive.

His bottom line is not to harm the interests of Earthling.

Otherwise, I'd kill even my own mother.

Besides, it's just a child lover.

"The evolutionary talent you displayed during the day was so powerful it shocked me."

"Aside from those ancient relics who have lived for countless eons, I have never seen a more talented Earthling than you."

"Your future is very bright."

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Zichen beside him, his eyes full of approval.

I paid no attention to the praise in Lin Zichen's conversation, and felt no emotion as I listened.

What he cared about was the phrase "old-fashioned antique".

So he asked, "City Lord, those ancient relics who have lived for countless eons, what do you mean by...?"

Qin Chuan said calmly, "It refers to the immortals and gods who have survived from the Age of Gods to the present day, that is, Ancient Human."

After saying that, he added, "Your Heavenly Human Pavilion Master is one of them."

Lin Zichen knew better than anyone that Qi Qingmo was Ancient Human.

He wasn't surprised to hear Qin Chuan say that.

Moreover, Qin Chuan's words confirmed one of his previous guesses.

There were other Ancient Human on Earth.

It is these powerful beings that have prevented Earth from being conquered by the Origin Land.

"By the way City Lord, do you have any news about our Pavilion Master?"

Lin Zichen thought of Qi Qingmo, who had been out of contact, and took this opportunity to ask Qin Chuan about it.

Qin Chuan is the City Lord of City No. 1, so he must be very well-informed about the Origin Land.

If anyone knows Qi Qingmo's whereabouts, Qin Chuan is most likely one of them.

"Your Pavilion Master recently ventured alone into the Southern Wilderness Beast Realm, refining a large number of Exotic Beast like a female demon. In the end, she forcibly entered a Ruins and has not come out yet."

Qin Chuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I've been in the Origin Land for over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen such an arrogant and powerful expert as your Pavilion Master."

The Pavilion Master is actually this powerful?

After hearing what Qin Chuan said, Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.

Having not heard from Qi Qingmo for so long, he had prepared for the worst, worried that something might have happened to Qi Qingmo.

In retrospect, that worry was completely unnecessary.

Qi Qingmo was far more powerful than he had imagined.

So... just what is the Pavilion Master's actual strength?

Mythical Tier?

Or what level of attainment?

It's definitely stronger than the Legendary Tier...

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

Qin Chuan picked up a teacup, poured a cup of hot tea, placed it on the table, and said to Lin Zichen, who was still standing:

"Let's sit down, have a drink, and chat."

His voice was calm, and there was no indication that he had just killed someone.

Moreover, the person he killed was his lover who was pregnant with his child.

There's a kind of cold indifference, like that of a ruthless emperor.

Lin Zichen pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Qin Chuan to drink tea.

His expression was natural.

They moved freely.

Not at all reserved.

Qin Chuan took another sip of tea and asked, "How much do you know about the Pavilion Master of your Heavenly Human Pavilion?"

Lin Zichen replied without hesitation, "Aside from knowing that she has lived for a very long time, we know nothing else about her. The Pavilion Master is very mysterious."

That's not true.

He knew quite a bit about Qi Qingmo.

After all, he spent a lot of time chatting with Qi Qingmo while he was giving her a blood transfusion.

However, he kept his knowledge of Qi Qingmo to himself and never told anyone.

Qi Qingmo was one of his own, his adoptive mother who often fed him evolution resources, while the City Lord Qin Chuan was just an insignificant outsider.

Revealing information about one's adoptive mother to outsiders is a very foolish thing to do.

Even if this outsider is the lord of a city who protects the Earth.

Seeing that Lin Zichen said he didn't know, Qin Chuan didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Your current strength is already more than enough. In the future, go out and train more to familiarize yourself with the environment of the Origin Land."

Lin Zichen: "The City Lord is right."

He had already planned this out; he had previously discussed it with Fu Zhou, asking Fu Zhou to take him and Shen Qinghan with him when he went out of the city for training.

"By the way, what's the deal with your relationship with Shen Qinghan's parents? You two have such high evolutionary talents, why are your parents just ordinary people?"

Qin Chuan suddenly asked.

Lin Zichen had no answer to this question.

He's strong because he has a built-in cheat code from time travel.

As for Shen Qinghan's strength, that remains a mystery to this day, and no one knows the reason behind it.

"I don't know, I'm confused too. My parents are just ordinary people, so why are my and Shen Qinghan's evolutionary talents so high?"

Lin Zichen replied.

Qin Chuan nodded, not pressing the issue for details.

Because he knew that Lin Zichen himself didn't understand the reason, so digging into the root of the problem was pointless.

The conversation in the office eventually lasted for more than half an hour.

The topics of conversation were quite varied.

Basically, it was Lin Zichen asking questions and Qin Chuan patiently answering them.

Inquire about the power of the Origin Land.

Ask about the Ancient Human on Earth.

I asked a lot of questions, but the answers I received were all superficial.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan waited at the city gate early in the morning, ready to go out of the city with Fu Zhou for training.

"Lin Zi, how can there be so Human Traitor? Even the City Lord's secretary is Human Traitor. This world is just too unsafe."

Shen Qinghan muttered a complaint under her breath, trying her best not to let the guards on the city wall hear her.

Last night, as soon as Lin Zichen returned to the dormitory, he told her that he had been attacked in the office and that the attacker was the City Lord's secretary.

When she heard about it, she found it hard to believe.

This remains true even now.

I couldn't help but complain from time to time, feeling that this was outrageous and making me very uneasy.

Lin Zichen explained, "The current situation on Earth seems hopeless. Many people believe that Earth will be invaded by the Origin Land sooner or later. Under such circumstances, there will naturally be more Human Traitor."

"Lin Zi, if one day Earth really can't withstand the invasion of the Origin Land, then let's become Human Traitor too."

Shen Qinghan lowered her voice so much that it was almost as if she was just mouthing the words without making a sound.

Lin Zichen turned to look at her, his expression very serious, and said, "As Earthling, we must not have such thoughts, understand?"

"I understand, I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."

"I'm afraid people will take it seriously."

"I know I was wrong..."

Shen Qinghan said weakly.

Seeing that she understood, Lin Zichen stopped lecturing her.

If Earth were ever truly conquered by the Origin Land.

Lin Zichen felt that having thoughts of becoming Human Traitor was normal and understandable.

After all, the instinct of living beings is to live.

However, this thought must remain buried in one's heart; it must never be spoken aloud or shown.

Otherwise, it's suicide.

Just then, a voice came from ahead:

"Zichen, didn't we agree on 6 o'clock? Why are you two here so early?"

It was Fu Zhou who arrived, accompanied by a mature woman with a high ponytail.

This mature woman is also a member of the team of geniuses of the Exotic Human Tier. Lin Zichen had noticed her before and knew that she was 25 years old this year, named Wu Shiya, and her Biological Rank was Advanced Tier 6.

"I woke up early, and since I had nothing to do, I came over here for a stroll."

Lin Zichen said calmly.

Fu Zhou walked over, holding Wu Shiya's hand as he went, and said with a smile, "Her Wu Shiya, she's also a member of the team, and we're a couple."

He figured Lin Zichen was new here and probably didn't know Wu Shiya, so he introduced them.

"Sister Ya, you can just call me Zichen, and her name is Qinghan."

Out of politeness, Lin Zichen introduced himself and Shen Qinghan to Wu Shiya.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether I introduce it or not.

They're already famous enough.

Everyone in the city knows it.

Wu Shiya was surprised that someone as talented as Lin Zichen would be so polite, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Zichen and Qinghan from now on."

After exchanging a few words, the four of them quickly left the city to gain experience.

The destination is all the places surrounding the city.

It's supposed to be a training experience, but it's really no different from a vacation.

Because Lin Zichen's strength is too great, he is invincible in the stable area.

So invincible that no matter what Exotic Plant Exotic Beast it encounters, it can be annihilated in the blink of an eye.

Fu Zhou and Wu Shiya were essentially relegated to being tour guides.

My only responsibility is to lead the way.

First, there was the desert directly opposite the city gate; then the forest to the right of the city; and finally, the lake to the left of the city.

Fu Zhou and Wu Shiya spent nearly half a month showing Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan around the three areas, helping the two newcomers to familiarize themselves with the city's surroundings as much as possible.

"We've pretty much covered the stable areas. Zichen, are you planning to go back to the city to rest and enter the dangerous areas later, or do you want to go in now?"

On the shore of the lake, Fu Zhou looked at Lin Zichen and asked.

Lin Zichen didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Shen Qinghan beside him and asked, "Do you want to go back and rest, or do you want to go into the danger zone?"

Shen Qinghan, lacking her own opinion, said, "I'll listen to you."

Lin Zichen said to Fu Zhou, "Then let's go into the danger zone and take a look, just at the edge."

Fu Zhou: "Alright, then I'll take you inside for a look around."

Normally, with his Biological Rank of only Advanced Tier 7, he wouldn't dare enter the danger zone at all.

I only dare to go in and explore when I'm teamed up with a strong player.

In his eyes, Lin Zichen was a powerful expert.

With Lin Zichen around, he felt that it shouldn't be dangerous to just wander around the outer edge of the danger zone.

Soon, the four of them, with their eyes and ears open, entered the danger zone.

As soon as he entered, Lin Zichen noticed something noticeably different.

The energy is more concentrated in the danger zone, and life is radiating everywhere.

At first glance, towering trees reaching into the sky and strange flowers and plants cover the ground. You can see many bizarre-looking creatures, as if you have entered a magical fantasy world.

"Lin Zi, there are dandelions here too!"

Shen Qinghan quickly walked to a plant that looked like a dandelion and stopped, looking at it with a face full of surprise.

Lin Zichen looked over and saw a plant that looked exactly like a dandelion.

The only difference is that dandelions on Earth are all white, while this seemingly ordinary plant in front of me is black, and it even emits wisps of black mist, making it look very strange.

"Shiya, I remember Flying Flower Grass is purple, why is this Flying Flower Grass black?"

Fu Zhou looked at the black dandelion in front of him, his brows furrowed in confusion.

Having lived in the Origin Land for so many years, he was quite familiar with the Flying Flower Grass, a plant Origin Land. In his memory, the Flying Flower Grass was a dull purple, not the black it appeared before him.

Wu Shiya stepped forward and examined it, her eyes also filled with doubt. "Indeed, all the Flying Flower Grass I've seen are purple; this is the first time I've encountered one that's black."

"Could it be Exotic Plant?"

Fu Zhou suddenly realized this, and a hint of excitement was clearly visible on his face as he said this.

Wu Shiya thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like it. I've seen quite a few Exotic Plant, but I've never seen a black Exotic Plant before."

"And look, this Flying Flower Grass is emitting wisps of black mist, giving it a lifeless and stagnant feel, devoid of any vitality."

"It doesn't look like Exotic Plant at all."

"..."

After hearing what Wu Shiya said, Fu Zhou also felt that it didn't seem like Exotic Plant.

Then he looked at Shen Qinghan and Lin Zichen and said:

"Zichen, Qinghan, that's not a dandelion. It might be some kind of Flying Flower Grass contaminated with a virus. We'd better not get too close, or it might be dangerous."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan immediately took a few steps back to get away from the Flying Flower Grass in front of her.

Lin Zichen did not step back, but remained very close to examine the Flying Flower Grass.

His [Immunity to All Poisons] was not triggered, which means that the black mist on the Flying Flower Grass was not poisonous.

After observing for a moment...

Ignoring the Flying Flower Grass on the ground, Lin Zichen said to Fu Zhou and Wu Shiya, "Let's continue deeper into the area."

"Good."

Fu Zhou nodded and continued to lead Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to familiarize them with the outer perimeter of the danger zone.

After taking only a few steps, Lin Zichen reached behind him and, through a distance, sucked the black-glowing Flying Flower Grass into his Storage Space.

He planned to study this strange plant of Origin Land carefully after returning to the city.

"What's going on? Why are there so many plants shrouded in black mist?"

As they walked, after about two miles, Fu Zhou, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and frowned.

In a thicket ahead, he discovered a large number of plants shrouded in black mist, emanating a deathly, desolate aura that made him extremely uneasy.

Let's go around that.

Wu Shiya suggested, her brows furrowed.

The Origin Land area is too dangerous. When you are weak, it is best not to be curious when you encounter the unknown, but to keep your distance.

Just then, a hoarse voice drifted from the bushes:

"Gentlemen, since you're already here, why not stay and kill some time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man shrouded in black mist emerged from the bushes.

The moment the other party appeared.

Lin Zichen's [Danger Perception] was triggered instantly.

It was pounding wildly.

Biological Rank Rare, Tier 3, Great Perfection...

His body contains abundant Source Power...

The man shrouded in black mist before us is an Exotic Human!
