Chapter 1365: Luck?

Outside the black fortress as huge as a snake's head, Lin An frowned slightly, carefully observing everything before him.

"Everyone must show identification! Anyone who has gone out or is an outsider within three days, activate thought sharing on your own!"

"Those queuing for selection go to the left passage! Anyone who defies orders will be killed without question!"

Before the fortress's three entrances, Alien Species of the Third Level swinging their snake tails behind them shouted sternly.

The sky was darkened, as over a hundred Third Level Alien Species flew on patrol, instantly leaving the lower-level Alien Species below gasping for breath. Everyone looked shocked; as the lowest-level Alien Species, they had no idea what was happening.

Simply obeying, they honestly lined up and activated thought sharing.

Standing at the rear of the left line, Lin An retreated to the back without showing any emotion.

The three passages: the rightmost is for the fortress troops, the middle is for Third Level use only, and the left is for these outsiders and lower-level beings to share.

Under his mental power scan, although it hasn't yet covered the whole city, he already grasped the general situation of the fortress.

"Over four thousand Third Level... at least seven hundred thousand Second Level...."

"The number of First Level is, on the contrary, less than a thousand."

His eyes flickered.

After confirming the approximate numbers, even Lin An couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the average strength of the Alien Species.

In the intelligence he received, this fortress is not considered a key location. Yet even so, just the number of Third Level Alien Species in this small fortress alone could match that of the entire Earth!

This is no exaggeration.

If we ignore the card holders on Earth and individual Fourth Level seeds.

Just this most inconspicuous fortress, which can be called the lowest-level stronghold of the Alien Species civilization, could sweep across the entire human world!

In a sense, the Alien Species civilization calling humans "worms" is already as much "attention" as possible.

However, for Lin An, the more Third Level Alien Species here, the better, as long as there is no Overlord!

But...

The inspection is this strict; looking at the reactions of the surrounding Alien Species, it seems they only recently became this strict...

Almost without thinking, Lin An realized that this sudden martial law situation is very likely because of him!

"How... to sneak in..."

Frowning slightly, looking at the line about to reach him, Lin An couldn't help but feel it was a bit tricky.

He lacked the Alien Species' communication ability, so he couldn't possibly contact Lin Yan's brother in advance. In the original plan, he intended to find that person, then replicate the method to obtain specific information and qualifications beforehand, and then turn around and slaughter everyone here.

But now it seems even getting in is a problem.

Thought sharing, he simply doesn't have this ability.

Without knowing the Overlord's exact position and the distribution of Fourth Level, acting rashly now would be tantamount to exposing himself too early.

What to do?

Use teleportation ability to enter the city? But if the interior has verification, how to handle registration upon entry?

The Alien Species world's ranking system is too strict.

Low-level Alien Species know too little information, and high-level ones cannot be made to reveal key information through resurrection.

However, in just a little over an hour, Lin An felt a huge pressure weighing on his shoulders.

Forcibly charging into the Alien Species world, even if he could disguise his appearance, a single careless move would expose his true identity! Here, every step is somewhat difficult.

Give up sneaking in? Also give up obtaining the qualification?

Better to start killing from here, then after the slaughter try to extract information as quickly as possible from the mouths of the dead Alien Species?

Take a gamble, bet that the Dominion-level Alien Species is far from here?

In his hesitation, seeing that his turn in the line was approaching, a fierce flash crossed Lin An's eyes.

If there's no way to solve the identity problem, then use violence to solve it!

The reaction speed in the Alien Species world is too fast; wasting even a minute, no one knows what will happen next!

Just as Lin An was about to spread his mental power, deciding to give up mixing in, a somewhat uncertain shout suddenly sounded behind him.

"Red Tooth Leaf!!"

"Are you Red Tooth?"

Behind Lin An, in a squad of Alien Species that had just returned from outside, a Second Level peak Alien Species wielding a curved blade was looking at him with some surprise.

Turning his head, Lin An also slightly startled; upon seeing clearly the appearance of the Alien Species who called out to him, a faint sense of familiarity instantly arose.

White scales, a fortress Alien Species? In an instant, he recalled the scale tooth appearance that Lin Yan had described to him.

Is this... Lin Yan's brother?

Reacting extremely quickly, Lin An, as if thinking of something, instantly put on a surprised expression on his face.

The next second, a bloody scale appeared in his hand.

"Yes, I am Red Tooth Leaf!"

"Are you Lin Yan's brother?"

Three minutes later.

Following behind Lin Ya, Lin An let out a slight sigh of relief, off and on, pretending to be nervous and chatting casually with Lin Ya.

Who knows if this counts as luck.

The squad led by Lin Ya had already been inspected a few minutes earlier, so when bringing him in, the inspection squad unconsciously assumed Lin An had also been inspected.

And when Lin An took out his sister's scale, Lin Ya had no suspicions at all, instead becoming somewhat excited and directly bringing him inside.

"Is my sister still okay?"

"I heard from my father that you came this time to participate in the selection?"

"What is your talent? This selection is very strict; if it's too poor, I might also find it hard to help you with anything."

Unlike what I imagined, Lin Ya is somewhat aloof.

Perhaps it's been too long since he saw his own kind; at this moment Lin Ya enthusiastically pulled Lin An, as if truly treating him as one of his own, unable to help but speak up and ask.

Realizing that Lin Yan's older brother deeply loves his sister in his bones, loving the house and thus the crow, he also cares for Lin An; after Lin An remained silent for a moment, he simply responded without changing expression.

"Lin Yan... is very good.."

"She previously said she really missed you, and asked me to bring these things to you when I saw you."

"As for my talent, it leans toward fire. Not too good..."

While speaking, Lin An, without changing expression, pulled out some small items he had found after killing Lin Yan and others from behind his back, and then handed them to Lin Ya.

These items were what Lin Yan, while holding his hand, told him were the "treasures" she and her brother had saved up since childhood.

Therefore, after slaughtering the entire gathering, Lin An keenly realized that these items could greatly gain Lin Ya's trust.

As expected, upon seeing the shell-shaped item Lin An handed over, Lin Ya's eyes involuntarily flashed a hint of recollection.

He had been out for too long, having not seen his sister and father for a long time; looking at these things, it actually made him feel a sour ache in his heart.

Raising his head to look at Lin An, thinking that his sister had entrusted even her most important token to the red-fanged one before him, he could also realize that his sister was likely determined to be with that person.

Having come to this thought, he simply firmly patted Lin An's shoulder, as if making a promise, and resolved himself.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you pass the selection!"

"But you must promise me, you must not let down my sister!"

Seeing that he had successfully gained Lin Ya's trust, Lin An's heart hesitated slightly, then he lightly nodded with a smile.

"Of course, Lin Yan is a good girl.."

"I won't let her... be sad."
