Chapter 1285: Alien Species and Instance Crisis

"Lin Dui, the bunch of trash that came in with us is killing quite fiercely!"

"They seem to have noticed us; recently, many controlled NPCs have appeared around."

On the castle wall, Zhang Tie let out a cold snort, gazing at the dense crowd of instance humans on the wilderness.

It is obvious that these soldiers, with frenzied expressions, constantly shouting names, are all controlled by the Awakened Ones.

Although he and Lin An haven't gone out much, he also heard a lot of news from normal NPCs.

It is now the forty-seventh day, and four days have passed in the real world.

Since the last time we noticed those two Awakened Ones begin fighting, the whole world has now fallen into chaos.

That is, the places where most Awakened Ones enter are relatively remote, located within small kingdoms, which is why they haven't reached us so quickly.

They are the imperial capital.

But with the passage of time, the flames of war have already spread to them.

"After they kill out a final victor, we will then act."

"If they approach the castle, we can also resolve it in advance."

Without raising his head, Lin An coldly looked at the energy ball in his hand that was constantly compressing and rotating.

After over forty days of adaptation and strengthening, his overall attributes have surged to an unimaginable degree. His body has been formally strengthened to Fourth Stage! And he has completely mastered the two rules.

Apart from lacking real combat, he is now, among humans, a true Fourth Stage existence!

Of course, Lin An could also feel that he seemed to be missing something to reach the Fourth Stage.

That seems like... the strengthening after the system's recognition?

Just like when he promoted to Third Stage, the system would first descend a pillar of light, then issue an announcement.

Now he already possesses the power of Fourth Stage, lacking only a rank recognition...

If nothing unexpected happens, the moment he steps out will be when he becomes Fourth Stage.

Therefore, he doesn't care at all about the Awakened Ones of the entire instance world.

Just a bunch of flukes who grasped a loophole or a trick, nothing but trash.

If he stays in his own territory and enjoys this wonderful instance life, he can ignore them. But whoever dares to attack him will make this bunch of trash know what true power is.

Calling themselves divine spirits?

Just a bunch of trash that only knows how to bully NPCs...

That's right, he and Zhang Tie have had their strength limited, and everyone is at the lowest level. But relying solely on his own rules, even a Third Stage Awakened One before him would only be instantly killed.

Rules, like a weapon beyond cognition, relying solely on each effect, are enough to crush anything below Fourth Stage!

"Hehe, Lin Dui."

"Actually, we don't need to act; I have also controlled a batch of soldiers."

"A few days ago I went to the imperial capital's core, likewise, and settled their emperor."

His eyes darted around, Zhang Tie full of pride, couldn't help but look toward the direction of the imperial palace.

As the guard of the entire imperial capital's forbidden army, the legion strength here is much stronger than those kingdom soldiers. Just thinking that with one of his commands, that old emperor would kneel on the ground and obey, he feels extremely pleased.

To be frank, if it weren't for Lin Dui urging him to seize every moment to master the rules, he would really want to have a blast.

This instance world is really awesome!

Frowning slightly, Lin An, who had intended to return to the room to continue practicing the rules, suddenly lifted his head.

Looking at Zhang Tie's face, inexplicably carrying a violent intent, and the arrogance in his words.

He instantly realized that this foolish bear had probably not rarely used the so-called 'word becomes law' recently.

After merely hesitating a moment, he also didn't say much more.

To be frank, Zhang Tie being able to follow his meaning, restraining himself from indulging, is already extremely rare.

In this instance world, once the command loophole is known, out of a hundred Awakened Ones, all hundred will use it without hesitation, even becoming deeply immersed.

Under such absolute control, absolute authority, and absolute satisfaction of any desire, no one can resist.

Even Lin An, he also has such an impulse...

This ability is like Pandora's magic box; once opened, everyone will sink into it, unable to extricate themselves. Moreover, the desires and fantasies in the heart will only become more and more crazy, more and more extreme and perverse.

This is an 'divine power' without constraints.

When he just learned of this loophole, Lin An also admitted that he could hardly restrain his various desires.

"Try not to use this command; I always feel it's not that simple."

In his hesitation, Lin An still gave a reminder.

Vaguely, he always felt that this instance's safety coefficient was too high... At least for him, he didn't know what in this instance world could threaten him...

This does not match the system's style.

Out of caution, he only hopes to strengthen his strength a bit more, to leave before the Alien Species attack.

"Understood, Lin Dui."

"Don't worry, I'm not as perverted as that bunch."

He grinned.

Zhang Tie replied casually, not caring, but in his heart it felt like a cat's claw, always wanting to use it a few more times.

Just as he was thinking about where to go play, outside the castle on the wilderness, large numbers of gathered soldiers, as if under orders, launched a new round of slaughter.

"Huh? Can't hold back?"

Looking on with interest, Zhang Tie, as if watching a show, gazed toward the outside of the castle, when for some reason he suddenly noticed something abnormal.

Wait...

How come it seems something is running over?

With his excellent eyesight, taking advantage of the high ground, he instantly saw on the distant wilderness horse path, several somewhat strange things crawling quickly.

Pupils contracted, then dilated.

After a few seconds, Zhang Tie's face involuntarily flashed a hint of astonishment.

That was..

How could it look so much like a broken NPC?

At the same time, unnoticed by the two, inside the castle's prayer chamber, a small statue's surface slowly peeled off a lump of flesh, which fell to the ground.

If Lin An were present, he would instantly recognize this as the likeness of Shen Yan.

"Pa-da—pa-da"

After two intelligent beings fell to the ground consecutively, the two naked figures, as if each seeking their own target, staggered outward.

"Lin An... you said yesterday you would always be with me..."

"Really...?"

Muttering, repeating.

Swaying, the silent Shen Yan pushed open the prayer chamber's wooden door, step by step walking toward Lin An.

Capital Military Region, Shelter No. 77.

In the burning ruins, two Awakened Ones with cracked lips lay pressed tightly under a broken concrete slab, daring not to make a sound.

Holding back the urge to breathe, even as the rising temperature scorched their skin until it cracked, they remained motionless, as if avoiding something.

Until a few minutes later, when a whistling sonic boom flashed past, they finally gasped heavily.

"Did those Alien Species leave!?"

"They left, they should have left... run, we must escape quickly!"

"As long as we escape this fog, we can tell the outside world what happened!"

Eyes filled with grief and indignation.

One could see a third-rank intermediate Awakened One, at this moment his eyes filled with extreme hatred and sorrow, finally glancing once toward the capital.

Everything seemed like a nightmare.

Six days ago, when they awaited the heroes' return with anticipation, waiting for the troops from the competition to return to reality, disaster struck.

Before Lihao and the others could desperately issue warnings, completely unprepared, the large number of high-level officials standing at the transmission point to welcome the returning troops were instantly slain by the Alien Species.

From that moment, the capital fell.

When the former superiors, the former high-level officials directly exposed their true nature, faith and hope collapsed in an instant.

At the same time, a brutal massacre began.

They were the ordinary humans who fortunately escaped from that massacre to the present.

"But... Zhang Yong, where should we go..."

"Dead, everyone's dead... all controlled by those Alien Species, where can we go..."

"It's all fake... why is everything fake!!"

Suppressing despair, an officer lying beside Zhang Yong helplessly murmured, not knowing what to do.

All dead, all dead.

If it weren't for those Alien Species preferring to capture them rather than kill them, at this moment they wouldn't even have a chance to escape, let alone resist.

That door has already been opened!

The charging horde of Alien Species, like monsters, frenziedly burrowed into every soldier's mouth, forcibly occupying their bodies.

That nightmare-like scene, even now when recalled, makes him unable to believe.

"Go to Long An! Go find Lin An!"

"Lin An must know something!!"

Taking a deep breath, looking at his companion's helpless despair, Zhang Yong seemed to recall the various "abnormalities" between Nie Lao and Long An; now thinking back, Lin An must have known something!

If there is still hope anywhere, he can only think of Lin An, who has created countless miracles!

"Let's go find him! Tell him what happened in the capital! Tell him there are still many people trapped here!"

"Maybe, maybe he can save everyone!"
