Central Region Ruins! Legendary-Tier Powerhouses? Your Death Is at Hand!

Lin Zichen felt very uncomfortable for a moment.

To escape the great war, he fled all the way to the Central Region.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Qin Chuan here.

And what's worse, Qin Chuan is currently being chased by two Human Traitor Deputy City Lord, and his situation is extremely dire.

"Let's go in!"

After Lin Zichen finished speaking, he flashed forward and rushed into the cave ahead with Shen Qinghan.

Thinking of hiding inside to avoid the three people in the sky.

After entering the cave.

Lin Zichen discovered that there was a hidden world inside.

I had initially thought it was a pitch-black, bottomless cave, but it turned out to be a boundless world.

"This cave is so big! It looks much bigger than the entire mountain."

Shen Qinghan looked around at everything in front of her, her delicate face filled with disbelief.

Lin Zichen was equally incredulous. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "It might involve a spatial structure, like a storage bag. It looks small on the outside, but it can hold a lot of large items inside."

"Yes, that should be it."

Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement.

Lin Zichen remained silent, quietly observing his surroundings.

The surroundings were very open, with nothing but stones in sight, looking very primitive and showing no signs of life.

After examining it with my eyes.

Lin Zichen released his Mental Power, spreading it deeper into the cave.

But before it could spread beyond the field of vision, it could no longer spread forward.

The area outside of one's field of vision seemed to be covered by an invisible membrane, preventing the spread of Mental Power.

"Lin Zi, this is strange, my Mental Power can't penetrate it."

Shen Qinghan frowned slightly as she spoke.

Like Lin Zichen, she had just been using her Mental Power to sense the environment deep within the cave.

Lin Zichen frowned slightly as well. "Same here, my Mental Power can't penetrate it either. This place should be able to isolate Mental Power."

As he said this, he was somewhat unsure of himself.

The unknown is always fraught with danger.

In the past, when he went to unfamiliar places, he was able to use his Mental Power to sense and familiarize himself with the environment.

Now that his Mental Power perception has failed, he feels extremely insecure.

"Should we still go inside?"

Shen Qinghan's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly, clearly indicating that she was unwilling to go inside.

Lin Zichen shared the same thought, saying, "Mental Power is useless here. To be safe, we'd better not risk going in."

"Indeed, it's better not to go in."

Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice.

Lin Zichen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Before you came in, you said you sensed a large amount of water containing rich Source Power, as well as various strange creatures inside the cave. How did you sense that?"

This cave was supposed to isolate Mental Power, but Shen Qinghan could still sense the environment inside the cave from the outside.

This is a bit hard to explain.

Shen Qinghan knew what he was wondering about and explained, "It wasn't me who sensed it by spreading my Mental Power, it was the Water God Palace in my Consciousness Sea that sensed it."

Lin Zichen asked curiously, "How did the Water God Palace sense it?"

Shen Qinghan patiently explained, "I don't know how the Water God Palace sensed it. I just saw a perspective from above the Water God Palace that led deep into the cave, and then followed that perspective into the cave to see part of the environment inside."

Lin Zichen felt something was off after hearing that.

After a moment of silence, he finally voiced his guess. "I have a feeling that the Water God Palace in your Consciousness Sea is guiding you into the cave?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan belatedly realized this point and said with a look of sudden understanding, "You know what, now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense."

The Water God Palace in the Consciousness Sea usually remains quietly immersed Consciousness Sea without any movement.

The view of the cave suddenly appearing from above looked very deliberate.

Lin Zichen guessed again. "You mean... could your cave be a Ruins, an ancient Ruins related to the Water God?"

Maybe.

Shen Qinghan couldn't answer Lin Zichen's question.

She was just a timid young girl.

When she's around Lin Zichen, she tries to avoid using her brain as much as possible, basically acting as someone without any personal thoughts.

She was too dependent on Lin Zichen.

If Lin Zichen weren't by her side now, she basically wouldn't know how to survive.

Lin Zichen hesitated.

He hesitated, wondering whether he and Shen Qinghan should venture deeper into the cave to explore.

Remembering that the guidance was given by the Water God Palace, he felt that there should be no danger if he and Shen Qinghan explored deeper into the cave.

On the contrary, there may be unexpected gains.

Just as he was thinking about these things—

"Buzz!"

A whooshing sound came from outside the cave.

The sound was deafening.

It felt as if they were right next to each other.

Lin Zichen realized it was Qin Chuan and his group, and his expression immediately changed.

Before he could react, Qin Chuan, covered in wounds, rushed in at high speed, radiating a powerful aura of blood and qi.

Qin Chuan was taken aback, not expecting anyone to be in the cave.

When they saw that the two people inside were Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, they were completely stunned.

He couldn't imagine why the two people who were in the Southern Region not long ago would now appear in a Ruins in the Central Region.

In particular, this is a Ruins whose entrance is hidden by a special magic array.

I was only puzzled for a moment.

Qin Chuan quickly realized what was happening and, with a wave of his hand, grabbed Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, leading them in a frantic escape into the depths of the cave.

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, who were hot on their heels, were surprised to see Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan there as well.

This unexpected turn of events quickly turned into a pleasant surprise.

As Human Traitor, they were well aware of the value of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Putting everything else aside, even just capturing these two and offering them to the Flower God would yield a considerable amount of evolutionary resources.

"Buy one get two free, this is a huge bargain!"

Bai Wubian was extremely excited and immediately sacrificed his Essence Blood to increase the intensity of his great blood burst, instantly increasing his flight speed several times over.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yuehua also sacrificed her Essence Blood to increase her flight speed.

She was more cautious than Bai Wubian, reminding him, "Be careful, Old Dog Qin chose to escape here; he must have something to rely on."

Bai Wubian didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry, I've been maximizing my Mental Power, constantly alert to any disturbances around me, so I can react in time if anything unexpected happens."

Seeing that he had already said that, Shangguan Yuehua didn't say anything more and focused on unleashing her speed to catch up with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was seriously injured and could not keep up with the two people chasing him.

In just a few breaths, the distance was reduced by a large margin.

Qin Chuan frowned at this.

He also wanted to sacrifice his Essence Blood to increase his flight speed.

Unfortunately, the situation didn't allow it.

In the previous battle against two opponents, he was seriously injured and had no chance to sacrifice his Essence Blood.

Fortunately, he had entered this Ruins located on the edge of the Central Region many times and was very familiar with the environment.

Taking advantage of this, he led Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan on a winding route, gradually widening the distance between them and the two Human Traitor Deputy City Lord behind them.

"How come he's so familiar with this place? Has he entered this Ruins many times before?"

Seeing Qin Chuan enter the Ruins with ease, Bai Wubian's face was no longer as composed as before, but instead showed more caution.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shangguan Yuehua exclaimed, "Old Dog Qin has gone into that pool in front!"

Under the watchful eyes of the two Human Traitor the Deputy City Lord.

Qin Chuan led Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan into a pool of water.

The moment she submerged and saw the bottom of the pool, Shen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and transmitted her thoughts to Lin Zichen via telepathy:

"Lin Zi, that's the pond."

"This pool is the place in my Consciousness Sea where the Water God Palace manifests, a place with a large amount of water containing rich Source Power."

"Look! There are many strange aquatic creatures deep in the pool, just like the projections of the creatures I saw in the Water God Palace."

"..."

Listening to Shen Qinghan's words, Lin Zichen sensed the Source Power contained in the water while observing the aquatic creatures at the bottom of the pool.

The Source Power contained in the water is so concentrated that it is almost condensing into crystals.

The aquatic creatures at the bottom of the pool had extremely bizarre shapes, like those in the Abyss. Their life forms were so unique that they defied comprehension and were difficult to understand.

As Qin Chuan continues to sink.

Suddenly--

"Uproar!"

A crisp sound of water breaking rang out.

The next second, Lin Zichen found himself no longer bathing in the cool pool water, but had fallen into a dark space.

He immediately looked at Shen Qinghan, who was standing to the side.

Seeing that Shen Qinghan was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, calming his mind and focusing his attention, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings of this unfamiliar place.

A quick glance around revealed, to my surprise, that the surroundings were filled with Source Crystal.

Most of them are columnar.

In terms of shape, it looks very similar to stalactites in limestone caves.

The only difference is that the stalactites hang upside down from the top.

These columnar Source Crystal in front of us are standing upright on the ground.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should have been formed by water droplets falling.

Thinking of this, Lin Zichen looked up at the top of his head.

The next thing he saw was a piece of water floating upside down in the air.

Above the water's surface is the same pool we just saw.

So... is this a space beneath the pool?

How did the City Lord know about this place?

Has he been here before?

Lin Zichen's mind was racing.

At that moment, two extremely strong energy fluctuations emanated from the pool above.

Qin Chuan, who was the first to sense these two energies, immediately became extremely solemn.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned to look at Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan beside him and said to them:

"Go to the most secluded and open spot!"

"Never get near the Source Crystal!"

"Quick!!!"

Qin Chuan shouted the last word, "Quickly," especially loudly.

They were afraid that Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan would stand there frozen in place.

Hearing Qin Chuan's shout, Lin Zichen quickly grabbed Shen Qinghan and rushed her to a corner ahead as fast as he could.

He didn't know Qin Chuan's intention in making him do this.

But given the current situation, he had no choice but to trust Qin Chuan.

There is no other way.

It only takes a blink of an eye.

Lin Zichen then led Shen Qinghan to a secluded corner where there were no Source Crystal.

Shen Qinghan asked softly, "Lin Zi, why does the City Lord want us to stay away from the Source Crystal?"

"I don't know either."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Zichen added, "Let's remain quiet and observe the situation."

"Um."

Shen Qinghan obediently responded, then shut her mouth and remained silent.

Lin Zichen held his breath, his gaze fixed on the water above him, waiting for the two traitors, Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua, to enter.

At the same time, I channeled my Mental Power and tried to perceive the environment around me.

However, the result was disappointing; the Mental Power simply couldn't spread out, failing just like it had when it was on the pool.

Seeing that his Mental Power not spread out, Lin Zichen withdrew it and focused intently on Qin Chuan in front of him and the water above.

He wanted to see how Qin Chuan would deal with the two Human Traitor Deputy City Lord were about to attack.

"Uproar!"

"Uproar!"

Two crisp, clear sounds of water breaking rang out.

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua emerged from the water almost simultaneously, entering Lin Zichen's field of vision.

Upon seeing these two Human Traitor towards the Deputy City Lord, Lin Zichen's heart leaped into his throat.

Both of them were Legendary Tier experts Human Traitor the Deputy City Lord.

If Qin Chuan cannot eliminate these two, then Lin Zichen, whose Biological Rank is only Epic Tier 1, will be in a very bad situation.

It seems only a divine intervention can resolve this crisis.

For example, when facing the Ninth Elder in the Coastal Forest, the crisis was averted only because Shen Qinghan used her mechanical powers to kill the Ninth Elder.

"Old Dog Qin, you seem to know this place well. Have you been here before?"

Bai Wubian looked at Qin Chuan and spoke rudely and disrespectfully.

Shangguan Yuehua to the side, remained silent, silently spreading her Mental Power to sense the surrounding environment. She then frowned because her Mental Power could not spread out.

Neither of the two Human Traitor Deputy City Lord made a move.

It's not that I don't want to help.

Instead, they dared not act rashly.

Qin Chuan stopped running away once he arrived at this place.

Stop and wait to face the two of them directly.

This made the two of them feel uneasy, as if there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

Qin Chuan noticed their unease and asked in a slightly weak voice, "Do you see the Source Crystal here?"

"This amount is comparable to the reward for killing a Legendary Tier Exotic Human."

"There are many more spaces like this in this Ruins, filled with Source Crystal."

"Spare my life, and I'll tell you both about the rest of the space, how about it?"

"..."

This offer is very tempting.

Qin Chuan was merely a Legendary Tier expert; killing him would yield many benefits, but not by much.

Especially when the money is split equally between two people.

But if what Qin Chuan said is true, and there are many spaces like this one filled with Source Crystal in this Ruins, then we've really struck it rich.

Thinking of this, both Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua were tempted.

Unable to suppress his deep-seated greed, Bai Wubian waved his hand, intending to collect all the Source Crystal present into the Storage Space deep within his Consciousness Sea.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yuehua frowned slightly, then a thought struck her, and she stopped Bai Wubian from taking away all the Source Crystal on site.

Bai Wubian laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll split it with you later. There's no need to be so clear about it now."

Shangguan Yuehua said expressionlessly, "It's better to break up now."

After saying that, she put the remaining half of the Source Crystal into her Storage Space, dividing it equally with Bai Wubian.

Across from him, Qin Chuan saw the Human Traitor Deputy City Lord collect all the Source Crystal into their Storage Space, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

Seeing Qin Chuan laugh, Bai Wubian also laughed out loud, "Old Dog Qin, what are you laughing at?"

"Do you think that by taking the Source Crystal here, I've agreed to your request?"

"Kill you, Source Crystal will naturally belong to us."

"If you can find those spaces filled with Source Crystal that you mentioned, then there's no reason why Yuehua and I shouldn't be able to."

"Old Dog Qin, laugh for a few more seconds while you're still alive, because you won't be able to laugh anymore soon."

Bai Wubian spoke with a mocking expression, but he didn't dare to make a move against Qin Chuan.

He knew Qin Chuan was treacherous and remained vigilant.

"You have no idea what I'm laughing at."

Qin Chuan looked at Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua opposite him, his smile deepening, and said, "I'm laughing because you two are about to die."

Are you going to die?

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua looked completely bewildered.

Just then--

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying roar came from the depths of the pool's bottom, causing the ground to crack open with countless shocking fissures.
