The Slowest Linna

"Director Zhang, your legs aren't very nimble!"

Zhang Xuezhou was the first to set off when chasing Turcolando, but as many others put in the effort to catch up, he ended up falling behind.

While Adrian was chasing after Linna, who was the slowest among them, he even had a moment to complain to Zhang Xuezhou.

Excluding the initial scale of construction in the Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum area, the deep pits and ravines excavated in other areas are difficult to calculate, and earthen slopes of varying heights are piled up everywhere.

As the chase progressed, the group scattered in different directions. However, as the distance between them increased, the dozen or so people were dispersed in various places. They could only occasionally see people leaping over deep pits under the lights, or suddenly appearing from a certain earthen slope.

Without the aid of Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou's legs obviously couldn't keep up with people.

He deliberately slowed down, and he and Ren Anran fell to the very back.

"This skeleton is the most prized possession of our museum. Please... please help me, my legs can't move fast in this kind of place!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied with a heavy breath.

Hearing his rather sincere plea for help, Adrian's pent-up frustration from past grievances almost completely dissipated.

"Linna, you follow Director Zhang and run slowly. I'll go chase after that unruly Tuer man!"

Adrian released Linna's hand, who was lagging behind, and after giving her a word of advice, she leaped away like a cheetah.

"She's not a bad person!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a comment.

"You beat Adrian up pretty badly. She's never been treated like this before, so she's been quite unfriendly towards you!"

Linna explained in a low voice.

Those who can enter the Montes Lineage and serve by Montes Arthur's side are no ordinary people.

Many of them were selected and trained from the sequencer and Sequence Holder population through various methods. Batia was almost the only one who dominated the Fourth Sequence population in the Aomeijia Alliance, and Adrian was not much different.

Zhang Xuezhou's first battle against Qin Meng was almost a nightmare of crushing defeat for everyone, even resulting in extremely severe punishment for them.

Adrian could tolerate being beaten, but he couldn't stand having his resources cut or reduced, and he didn't have a good attitude towards Zhang Xuezhou either.

Only when Zhang Xuezhou looked somewhat disheveled did Adrian finally exhale all the pent-up anger.

Lin Na muttered a couple of things, only to realize she had fallen behind by several steps, and had to shut her mouth tightly.

"Ouch... Ouch!"

When she and Zhang Xuezhou and the others rushed out, somersaulted, and rolled to her feet in the pit, there was no sign of Zhang Xuezhou or Ren Anran around.

"They're both using the same stride!"

Looking at the ditch, which was more than ten feet wide and deep, Lin Na gestured to it and finally concluded that she couldn't take that long a stride while running.

"That's strange! Their running pace is no different from mine, so how did they manage to cross it!"

Lin Na grumbled, but had no choice but to put her feet together and jump again. After clearing four ditches, she finally returned to her normal running speed.

"There's no one left to see!"

Aside from the bustling activity outside the Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum Museum, the fervent trend of nighttime fire sacrifices in many areas has cooled down. Construction sites are mostly deserted at night, with only large lights illuminating each spot.

Linna looked around, then climbed a mound to survey the surroundings. All she could see was darkness or emptiness.

Apart from her, everyone around her seemed to have vanished in a short moment.

She could no longer even hear the clamor of the people performing the bonfire ritual outside the museum.

A cold wind blew through the imperial tomb at night, and Lin Na felt a chill run through her body, prompting her to quickly tighten her clothes.

Cough cough cough!

A low cough was heard, and Lin Na's heart skipped a beat as she looked up in the direction of the sound.

"Who are you?"

The sight of an elderly man coughing up blood with gray hair came into view, but Lin Na did not lower her guard; instead, she shouted.

"I'm Feng Xiangyu, the person in charge of inspecting the construction site here," the old man said, his head bowed and his voice heavy. "I heard someone shout 'Stop thief!' So I picked up a steel bar to block the way, but I was slapped and sent flying. I only just came to my senses now!"

"My God, is Lord Turcorando really that ruthless?"

Linna exclaimed and quickly approached, and the old man slowly raised his head.

"I have medicine here—medications to stop bleeding, treat internal injuries, and treat shock. Just bear with it; I'm quite professional in emergency medical care and can give you the fastest treatment possible!"

As the old man's eyes flashed with an odd light, Lin Na quickly introduced herself.

The light in his eyes vanished as an acupuncture needle was inserted into his body, and Linna took two small pills out of the small medicine box on her back.

"This is the best high-end medicine in our Aomeijia Alliance," Linna said. "Lord Arthur rarely gets injured, and he's not going to Qinmeng recently, so he probably won't need it. I'll take advantage of the time before the medicine expires to change it, and it shouldn't cause any trouble!"

"Oh, is there a problem?" the old man asked.

"As long as Lord Arthur isn't injured, my presence as a healer is minimal," Linna said quickly. "Using some high-end, fast-acting medicine won't punish me!"

"Is Lord Arthur, whom you speak of, very strong?" the old man asked.

"Lord Arthur is definitely incredibly strong. He has no rivals below the Sixth Sequence; Sequence Holder below the Sixth Sequence are like mowing grass to be cut down," Linna said proudly. "When Lord Arthur reaches the Seventh Sequence in the future, he will sweep across the current mainstream sequence levels of the world, becoming a super strongman who can take on ten people at once and is feared by all!"

"So he's a useless... That thief is very powerful. Do you have any other capable fighters?" the old man gasped. "I'm afraid ordinary people can't subdue him. I'm also Fifth Sequence fighter, and I was knocked down in one move!"

"You're also Sequence Holder, and your strength is so high! You're even stronger than me!"

Lin Na looked surprised; she clearly hadn't expected to encounter a coughing old man who also possessed the strength of Fifth Sequence cultivator.

"I'm old, I'm useless now, I can't compare to you young people, cough cough cough!"

The old man coughed repeatedly, forcing Lin Na to push him away several times to calm him down.

"Do you have anyone else who can defeat that thief?" the old man coughed before asking. "I estimate that thief has at least the strength of Sixth Sequence!"

"I'm confused too. We've had several groups chasing Lady Turcorando. Our Aomeijia Alliance can completely overpower those at the Fifth Sequence rank, and with coordinated efforts, we're even capable of contending with Sixth Sequence powerhouses. But we're not all together right now. I can't catch up with them, and we can't even provide first aid to those who are injured. I don't know how to coordinate. The Speaker of the Thousand Islands Alliance doesn't seem that strong. I've heard that Lady Shelton of the British Alliance State is skilled in strategy and planning, but her direct combat strength is only average among those at the Fifth Sequence. However, Lady Omega is at the Sixth Sequence, and she's very famous among women, second only to Lady Clark of our Alliance States. She should have no problem fighting Turcorando!"

Omega?

"Yes, she should be the strongest among the group we're chasing. The remaining Ms. Zhou Yueyan is a researcher, and I heard she only has the strength of the Fourth Sequence. Although the others are said to be strong among the younger generation, they can't fight against Sixth Sequence person yet!"

"I see, then I'm relieved!"

The old man nodded in acknowledgment. Lin Na wanted to say a few more words of advice, but then she felt a wave of dizziness and her body became unsteady.

She struggled for a moment, then her body swayed and she fell to the ground.
