"A Duo!" Lin Shen was startled when he made out her attire and face.
His first reaction was not to go over, but to retreat swiftly while scanning his surroundings.
Although A Duo had never displayed her strength, Uncle Xue at her side was so formidable that she herself could not be much weaker.
Now Uncle Xue was nowhere to be found, while A Duo lay on the ground with her life and death unknown. She must have encountered some major trouble.
In a hellhole like this, what major trouble could one encounter? Nine times out of ten, it had to be a powerful Deformed Species.
With Lin Shen's current strength, he naturally would not arrogantly believe he could handle a Deformed Species that even A Duo and Uncle Xue could not deal with.
So his first thought was to flee as far away as possible, lest he too fall victim to it.
Fortunately, he did not spot any other Deformed Species nearby. Lin Shen retreated into a passageway and peered outside in secret, surveying the surroundings several times without discovering any creatures there.
"Did a Deformed Species kill her and leave, or did she flee here and die after being injured by one?" Lin Shen pondered inwardly.
The reason he had not immediately vanished without a trace was that A Duo appeared to have no ordinary status. Perhaps she carried something valuable that could help Lin Shen in his current predicament.
Lin Shen did not know why Lin Wan had sent him here, then left him here to fend for himself.
Whatever the reason, what Lin Wan had said before was definitely not trustworthy.
His current situation was extremely awkward. It was not merely because the Neutron Star was exceptionally dangerous; more importantly, he was an undocumented outsider here.
