Chapter 1158: Drive Away

On the barren land, the vast crowd moved at high speed in an extremely strange manner.

Only see dozens of large planks made of wood and stone, on which over a thousand Heavenly Eye People anxiously crowded together; the edge Heavenly Eye People nervously gripped the fixing iron chains, fearing they would fall.

It was just like a huge flat-topped ship.

Heavenly Eye People sat on top, while below were Awakened Ones bitterly shouldering them and running wildly with heads down.

Jostling and shaking, in this manner of "transporting" Heavenly Eye People, many silently cursed Lin An for being too perverse.

These Third Level individuals, who held high positions in the real world, each was a regional leader; even a Second Level was a Captain-level figure.

In the Apocalypse, beings of their strength wouldn't even need to do such things; relying on their strength, naturally a large batch of Survivors would serve them, merely seeking their protection.

But now?

Under Lin An's coercion, they had to, like mules, carry the Heavenly Eye People and walk.

Not only were they full of complaints, even the Heavenly Eye People who were taken away were greatly shocked.

In their eyes, the ferocious Alien Species, at this moment before another Alien Species, was obedient like a lamb, truly overturning their cognition.

"Faster!"

With a cold shout, Lin An led the way flying ahead, the sharp high-speed airflow producing repeated howls.

Although he forced these Third Levels to burst forth with all their speed, it was still too slow compared to his.

Starting to capture peripheral Awakened Ones at this speed, the efficiency is truly too low.

Moreover, Lin An also discovered a problem.

That is, other Awakened Ones simply cannot "smell" the strange fragrance, causing many who received his warning to scoff dismissively, not taking it seriously; many even thought Lin An could not find them and directly provoked him.

After discovering this, Lin An also realized it must be because his will attribute far surpassed everyone else, enabling him to detect this anomaly.

The battlefield is so vast, and there are so many of them.

Even Lin An, even if stronger, could not possibly find them one by one. With long-standing grudges, this instead drew many battle zones occupying gathering places, which now began to absorb Heavenly Eye People, even though their spiritual energy did not yet need replenishing.

Lin An was not at all surprised by this.

He clearly knew his threat might have some effect, but it was still insufficient. In the early stage when Awakened Ones' spiritual energy was still adequate, perhaps some cautious individuals would heed his "advice" and temporarily refrain from moving the Heavenly Eye People.

But as time passed, even those who believed him yet feared him would likely be unable to resist beginning to consume the Heavenly Eye tribe.

After all, his threat is far less intuitive than the directness of spiritual energy depletion!

Without spiritual energy, how many Awakened Ones could still maintain combat power? Either way it's death; better to gamble.

"We must find several major battle zones, find more people.."

His gaze was icy.

Lin An, looking at the replies to his messages, saw many provocations, and a flash of killing intent crossed his mind.

"Do they really think I can't find them?"

Ridiculous.

Unless these Awakened Ones do not enter gathering places, otherwise each gathering place is equivalent to a natural coordinate; he can just go and kill them one by one.

For him, as long as these Awakened Ones do not enter gathering places, it means they will not consume Heavenly Eye People, which has no effect on him.

"Dare to provoke and defy him?"

Unless they stay away from gathering places and do not hide for points, otherwise he has ten thousand ways to find these worms!

"Leader, are we really not going to deal with Lin An?"

"That guy previously did similar things in the trial; I'm afraid what he says might be true..."

"Could it possibly be a well-intentioned reminder to us?"

In a medium-sized gathering place, over sixty Awakened Ones, like capturing lambs, ruthlessly gathered all the Heavenly Eye People inside together, ignoring their cries, and directly bound them; when encountering vigorous resistance, they simply chopped off the limbs and threw them into the pile.

The wails filling the gathering place annoyed a Third Level Awakened One, filling his mind with irritation.

"Make them quiet!"

"Kill a batch first! Store the corpses!"

After shouting at his subordinates, this thin-built, glove-wearing Third Level Awakened One glared resentfully at his confidant.

"What? Are you afraid?"

"Indeed, Lin An indeed did this in the previous trial, but ultimately it wasn't for the points in our hands, was it?"

"He said eating Heavenly Eye People would attract worms and produce a strange fragrance. Did you smell it?"

"Besides, aren't the worms supposed to come anyway? Otherwise why would the system have us guard this place and offer point rewards?"

"Isn't Lin An just spouting nonsense? That thing which originally existed is being used to scare us?"

A scoffing laugh.

The speaking thin youth nonchalantly licked the corner of his mouth, looking at the bound Heavenly Eye People:

"This thing is a resource, essentially equivalent to points!"

"Use your pig brains! Just like last trial, Lin An took points from us; this time he still wants them, so naturally he doesn't want us to consume the Heavenly Eye People. With his strength so great, his consumption would definitely be much greater than ours!"

"If I were him, I would certainly try to stop others from consuming the Heavenly Eye tribe! The more Heavenly Eye People left, the more Lin An's combat power could stay at full strength! In the later stage, Awakened Ones will surely clash among themselves; Lin An naturally also fears spiritual energy exhaustion!"

He harshly tapped his confidant's head; the man called the leader was extremely dissatisfied with his subordinates' panic.

"Look at you lot! Damn it, just one threat from Lin An and you're scared into this state? Those unaware might think he came to kill us!"

"You don't think, what does Lin An fear? He surely also fears us joining forces to kill him first!"

"He must ensure he has enough Heavenly Eye People to replenish his spiritual energy!"

"But..."

Several confidants with sorrowful faces gazed at their leader, still feeling uneasy.

"Leader, doesn't this indicate that Lin An will definitely come to find us..."

"If he really comes to kill us, how can we stop him..."

Our war zone only has 6 third-level fighters... Here we only have two.. The others don't even know where they are..

The thin, dry-skinned man who was scolding several people heard the voice, paused, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

That's right; as a small Southeast Asian country, the total number of third-level fighters they have entered into this confrontation is six, and the remaining second-level fighters barely added up to less than a thousand. Compared to those major war zones, they are practically like ants.

Don't look at him acting as if he doesn't care, but he also knows..

As long as Lin An comes to kill them, they can only flee with their heads in their hands.
