Shen Qinghan's Identity! Water God Palace!

Just as Lin Zichen suspected that Luo Qianxue was an undercover agent lurking in the city—

"Buzz--"

A whooshing sound rang out.

The team's only two rare-level members, Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao, suddenly unleashed their inner energy and charged towards Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen has extremely sharp senses, and he noticed their attack the moment they made a move.

Faced with the two attacks, he simply focused his gaze and unleashed a terrifying, overwhelming biological pressure.

The next second, two loud "bangs" rang out.

Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao were instantly suppressed to the ground by this powerful biological pressure, their bodies sinking completely into the hard earth, creating countless shocking cracks at the edges.

One wave subsides, another rises.

The moment Lin Zichen finished dealing with Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao, the other Exotic Human Tier geniuses in the team also launched an attack on him, including the timid Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan suddenly had an idea.

The next second, just like Yuan Dongzhi had fought the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult in the Coastal Forest, she drew out a massive amount of underground water from beneath her feet, forming a hundred-meter-long dragon that blotted out the sky, and slammed into Lin Zichen.

It was only then that Lin Zichen belatedly realized that Shen Qinghan and the others had been controlled.

He recalled the Fragrance he had suddenly smelled just now.

If nothing unexpected happens, that Fragrance should be the culprit that controlled everyone.

Although he had found the problem, Lin Zichen didn't know what to do to bring everyone who was being controlled by Fragrance back to their senses.

Left with no other option, he could only secrete a large amount of venom that could paralyze the nerves from his skin, causing all the attackers to collapse to the ground.

When all this is done--

"Bang!"

A huge flower bud broke through the soil, carrying a faint blue mist and emitting a pleasant Fragrance.

That's the Fragrance!

Lin Zichen instantly became alert, his blood and qi suddenly surged, and he stared intently at the mysterious flower bud that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Sizzle!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The enormous, mysterious flower bud had a crack several fingers wide on its surface, from which a rich Fragrance seeped out, instantly filling the entire cage.

Lin Zichen was on edge, his gaze fixed on the flower buds in front of him, not daring to look away for even a moment.

Under his gaze.

The cracks on the flower buds are widening.

Until it blooms into an extremely beautiful blue flower.

A woman covered in vines was revealed.

"Lin Zichen, not only are you physically powerful, but you also have an unbelievable number of methods. You must be hiding some unknown secret."

The Flower Vine Woman, with her alluring eyes and captivating smile, spoke softly.

Lin Zichen frowned, constantly scrutinizing Flower Vine Woman, not remembering knowing such a powerful person.

The Flower Vine Woman noticed his confusion and smiled, saying, "You are now known to everyone in the Sun-Moon Sacred Land. All the beings there want to take you back as a sacrifice to the Flower God Goddess."

Flower God Goddess?

Mythical Tier creature from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land?

What does "sacrifice" mean?

Is it to be a bed slave?

Or are you trying to kill me?

In just a brief moment, Lin Zichen had already swung through so many thoughts, which finally coalesced into a question that he blurted out:

What does "sacrifice" mean?

"It means sacrifice."

The Flower Vine Woman made a delicate gesture with her fingers, a half-smile playing on her lips.

After saying that, she added in a soft voice, "Alright, enough of the nonsense. It's time for us to go, offerings to the Flower God."

The words were spoken instantly.

The hair on the Flower Vine Woman suddenly stretched into blue vines, like octopus tentacles, and lunged at Lin Zichen, trying to drag him into the flower bud and take him away.

Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Zichen did not sit idly by and wait for death. Instead, he instantly raised his mental strength to the maximum and unleashed [Flame Breath] to spray at the attacking vines.

Soon, the crimson flames and blue vines clashed violently, unleashing a terrifying aftershock that sent everything around them flying.

Lin Zichen could only hold on for a moment before he couldn't withstand the explosive force of the vines. He was blasted away and crashed heavily into the base of the cage, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Flower Vine Woman is extremely powerful, if not Epic- level, then close to Epic- level.

Lin Zichen, whose Biological Rank was only Rare Tier 3, was no match for the Flower Vine Woman's attacks.

"You withstood my attack and only coughed up a little blood, but you're otherwise unharmed. Your physical body is indeed powerful; I believe the Flower God Goddess will be very pleased."

The Flower Vine Woman spoke with a smile.

After saying that, she manipulated more vines to wrap Lin Zichen, who was still vomiting blood on the ground, into a cocoon and pulled him into a huge flower bud.

Before leaving, Flower Vine Woman glanced at the pile of Exotic Human Tier on the ground, her face showing regret.

These are all among the most outstanding geniuses on Earth.

His evolutionary talent is exceptional.

If I can bring them all back to the Holy Land and make them members of the Holy Land, then I will surely receive the highest reward from the Holy Lord.

However, the flower buds have limited capacity and cannot carry away so many Earthling.

It's such a pity...

Thinking this, the Flower Vine Woman manipulated a blue vine covered in sharp thorns and whipped it fiercely at the Exotic Human Tier on the ground.

We must completely crush these future Earth's powerful beings, who have yet to mature, within this cage.

"Buzz--!"

The vines swung at incredible speed, creating a crackling sound as they rubbed against the air, their target the group of Exotic Human Tier geniuses on the ground.

A loud "bang" was heard.

The thorny vines struck the closest youth first— Xia Liu.

The moment the impact rang out, Xia Liu, Biological Rank was as high as the Tier 9 of Advanced, exploded, turning into blood that filled the sky and splattered all over the ground, completely disappearing from this world.

After killing Xia Liu, the vines swept to the side, aiming directly at Shen Qinghan lying on the ground.

Just as the vines were about to strike Shen Qinghan's seemingly delicate body—

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Shen Qinghan suddenly burst open like a fully inflated balloon.

Then, a large amount of groundwater gushed out from below, enveloping Shen Qinghan on the ground and forming an impenetrable water film.

"Bang!"

The vines, carrying the Giant Strength of Mount Tai crashing down, slammed fiercely against the water film.

Then, contrary to expectations, the water film and Shen Qinghan, who was protected by the water film, were not smashed into a pool of blood.

Instead, the vines themselves were instantly shattered into a pile of wood chips by the seemingly soft and delicate water film.

The Flower Vine Woman, who witnessed this scene, widened her eyes in disbelief at what she was seeing.

My vines are incredibly strong, reaching Epic levels! How could they possibly not even be able to penetrate a single layer of water?

What exactly happened?

The Flower Vine Woman was completely baffled and wondered if she was hallucinating.

I calmed myself down a bit.

The Flower Vine Woman once again manipulated a vine and lashed it out at Shen Qinghan was trapped in the water film.

"Bang!"

That familiar sound rang out again.

The vines lashed heavily against the water film, instantly shattering into a pile of sawdust.

This time, the Flower Vine Woman was finally willing to believe the facts before her eyes.

The water film covering Shen Qinghan's body could easily withstand a full-force attack from Epic- level creature.

What exactly is that film of water?

What's the deal with that Earth girl in the water film?

It's unbelievable...

Flower Vine Woman curiously examined Shen Qinghan within the water film, realizing that what was happening was beyond her comprehension.

This made her hesitate.

Hesitantly deciding whether to take Lin Zichen or Shen Qinghan, who was trapped in the water film.

Lin Zichen is very special; that's for sure.

But Shen Qinghan seems even more special than Lin Zichen right now, which puts her in a dilemma, leaving her unsure of what to do.

She was facing a difficult choice.

The ground of the cage began to seep water at a visible rate, and in an instant, the originally slightly dry ground was soaked into a wetland.

The Flower Vine Woman had never seen such a bizarre scene before, and she immediately became cautious.

Without further hesitation, she closed the Lin Zichen Shen Qinghan and chose to take the risk-free Lin Zichen away, offering him as a sacrifice to the great Flower God.

But just a second after the flower bud completely closed...

The Flower Vine Woman's expression changed slightly as she incredulously discovered that her flower buds could not burrow underground to reach the sacred land far away in the sky.

What happened?

Why can't I teleport away?

With this question in mind, the Flower Vine Woman frowned and opened the flower bud, wanting to see what was going on outside that prevented the flower bud from teleporting away.

Soon, the flower buds opened.

The moment the flower bud opened, a large amount of icy water rushed in from the outside, directly bursting the Epic- level flower bud into several petals.

Seeing her flower bud burst from the water, the flower bud girl was filled with astonishment, wondering if she was under an illusion and hallucinating.

Its own flower bud is as strong as an Epic Tier 2!

How could ordinary water possibly burst?

The Flower Vine Woman tried to calm herself down and used her Mental Power to perceive her surroundings.

It would have been better if I hadn't sensed it; once I did, I was immediately startled.

To her horror, the Flower Vine Woman discovered that she was no longer in the familiar cage, but in a completely unfamiliar underwater world.

Have I been teleported?

When?

When was I teleported here?

Why don't I feel anything at all?

The Flower Vine Woman shuddered at the thought; the more she pondered, the more frightened she became.

Since evolving into Epic- level creature, she has rarely been this panicked; she has always been the one who instills fear in other beings.

Suddenly, she was inexplicably transported to a completely unfamiliar environment, which made her feel panicked for the first time in a long time, and she didn't know what to do.

Um?

Is there a palace ahead?

How could there be a palace here?

With her Mental Power constantly sensing, the Flower Vine Woman quickly perceived a magnificent palace several miles ahead.

The palace was so large that it baffled the Flower Vine Woman.

She couldn't understand why there was a palace in this underwater world.

Have I stumbled upon some kind of Ruins?

The Flower Vine Woman suddenly thought of this possibility.

In less than a second, the panic and disbelief I felt just moments before transformed into excitement and exhilaration.

They just wanted to come to the battlefield and capture someone to take back.

Unexpectedly, we stumbled upon a hidden Ruins!

In the Origin Land, being able to enter the Ruins means that there is a high probability that one will obtain a large amount of special evolutionary resources.

Obtaining a large amount of evolutionary resources means that one's Biological Rank can be further improved.

Thinking of this, the Flower Vine Woman did not hesitate for a moment and immediately swam towards the giant palace several miles ahead at top speed.

Its speed was so great that it created a large, turbulent current in the water.

Less than half a second.

The Flower Vine Woman traveled several miles before arriving in front of the palace.

Behind her floated a cicada pupa connected by vines.

Inside the cicada pupa was Lin Zichen, whom she controlled.

"Water God Palace?"

Flower Vine Woman looked at the plaque above the palace gate and saw these three large characters.

Just as she was carefully examining the palace—

"Creak--"

A deep, wooden sound rang out.

The palace gates opened.

The Flower Vine Woman instantly became alert and immediately distanced herself as quickly as possible, not daring to approach the open palace gates.

As Epic- level powerhouse, she had been to Ruins several times before and knew Ruins such places, besides offering opportunities, also carried a great deal of danger.

Rushing in recklessly will result in instant death and destruction, becoming one of the evolutionary resources within the Ruins.

"You've come..."

Just as Flower Vine Woman was pondering how to enter the palace to find out what was going on, a faint female voice suddenly came from inside the palace, causing ripples to spread outside.

Upon hearing the words "You've arrived," Flower Vine Woman was immediately filled with doubt.

What does that mean?

What do you mean "I'm here"?

The devil's whispers, are they luring me in?

The Flower Vine Woman was very cautious and was not lured inside by the sounds coming from the palace.

"God..."

"Great God..."

"Please grant us strength..."

Inside the palace, a shout filled with awe rang out.

As Flower Vine Woman heard these shouts, her doubts deepened, and she became increasingly curious and wary of what was happening inside the palace.

She had entered several Ruins before, but this was the first time she had encountered Ruins she could hear voices constantly coming from within.

"God! Great God!"

"God! You have finally answered us!"

"God! He has finally appeared!"

Suddenly, the sounds inside the palace became unusually agitated.

There was less awe and more excitement.

The sound was so loud that it caused waves to surge and churn in the water outside the palace.

Lin Zichen, who was inside the cicada pupa, heard excited shouts coming from the palace outside and regained some consciousness after a moment of daze.

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an absolutely dark space, his body tightly bound and unable to move.

All we can do right now is listen to the shouts coming from outside.

Was I taken to the Sun-Moon Sacred Land?

What is the god outside?

Is she the Flower God?

Lin Zichen frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.

At the same time.

On the other side.

The Flower Vine Woman listened to the excited shouts coming from inside the palace, and was filled with doubt.

The palace before us was truly bizarre.

It doesn't feel like a lifeless Ruins.

It is a vibrant little world.

The sounds from inside the palace grew louder.

Soon, a frail figure slowly rose from inside the palace.

The Flower Vine Woman noticed the delicate figure immediately.

When she saw the figure's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

That frail figure was actually the Earth girl who had been enveloped in the water film earlier!
