Chapter 1369

o5「pfft」

「pfft」

The noisy periphery of the fortress, without any Alien Species noticing, a series of faint skull-shattering sounds, like stepped-on leaves in the night, rang out in rapid succession.

If someone could see the red dots representing life from high altitude now, they would likely be shocked to discover that, across the entire fortress periphery, large patches of the Alien Species' life force are rapidly dissipating.

It is as if an invisible grim reaper is gradually devouring life.

「13,400... 「

「Bang. 」.

With a slight lift of his eyes, under the pure wind pressure he flicked out, Lin An calmly gazed at the hundreds of headless corpses inside the hall.

Appearing instantly, killing instantly.

With his current strength, killing these Alien Species is as easy as stepping on a group of ants.

The Alien Species in this hall seemed to be celebrating something, but even with two third-rank Alien Species among them, they were instantly killed by his casual strike.

Under absolute power and speed, the airflow he casually unleashed was comparable to a full-force strike of a third-rank high-level, instantly shattering the opponent's skull.

The speed was so fast that even third-rank Alien Species could not react at all.

「Efficiency is still too slow... 」

「Relying solely on the flesh to kill enemies, it would take at least half an hour to finish... 」

Stepping over a patch of blood, Lin An frowned slightly, then silently appeared in another building.

「Bang bang bang bang」

In high-speed motion, after casually smashing dozens of Alien Species, his mood became somewhat irritated.

Killing these Alien Species is simple, but without exposing himself or alerting other Alien Species, he can only clear them piece by piece slowly.

Moreover, the complex internal structure of the Alien Species fortress makes his efficiency far lower than he anticipated.

「We must change our approach... 」

「Not using other abilities is ultimately not a long-term plan. 」

「Use the grim reaper halo? 」

Standing amidst a sea of corpses, Lin An hesitated for a moment, intending to increase the efficiency of the slaughter.

With the grim reaper halo, no, with the life-force-absorbing ability of the combined set, he only needs to quickly appear in each area; under the halo that can literally suck dry even third-rank high-level beings, he can achieve mass slaughter of Alien Species.

Not only considering the delay in time, Lin An also considered that he could not always maintain this efficiency in later slaughter of Alien Species.

One's own abilities will eventually have to be used.

「The periphery mostly consists of third-rank and below; for the Alien Species with particularly tenacious vitality, I will personally take action. 」

「With quick instant kills, it won't leak information either. 」

「The remaining Alien Species strongholds inside, leave them to be killed last... 」

Without overthinking, after confirming the change of approach, Lin An's surroundings instantly burst out a black mist, which in the blink of an eye rapidly spread like an invisible ripple.

The area covered was so vast that it directly formed a death zone of several hundred meters.

Only seen, as he moved at high speed, patches of Alien Species, upon contacting the death halo, instantly withered as if dried up.

Under the life-draining effect, their organs failed and aged within an extremely short time; even third-rank Alien Species see their brains atrophy within a second, only able to sense the rapid loss of vitality within their bodies under extreme fear!

Fourth Stage killing third rank and even lower, with the strength difference already near demigod versus flesh, Lin An now resembles an invisible natural disaster, madly reaping vast numbers of lives.

In the rooms, in the hall, in the buildings, on the streets.

Even at the speed of stealth, Lin An still swept across the entire fortress at twice the speed of sound.

Wherever he passed, large numbers of Alien Species collapsed like patches of withered rice fields.

Occasionally, a few third-rank Alien Species that could barely endure for a moment could only watch in horror as their companions silently collapsed one after another.

If their cognition included supernatural or Meme events, they would likely mistake this for an extremely terrifying ghost silently killing them!

「Beep, earned honor points 2.. 」

「Beep, earned honor points.. 」

「Beep, earned honor points... 」

One after another, icy system prompts rang out; their speed was like a waterfall, flooding the screen.

After choosing to use the grim reaper set's ability, Lin An clearly felt his killing speed increase by more than tenfold!

However, in less than a minute, the outer periphery of the fortress he initially entered seemed to have been swallowed by death, as large numbers of Alien Species began to die.

Under a blanket of silence, the entire area became eerily quiet and terrifying, like a haunted realm.

Within the fortress's inner ring, many Alien Species still active were completely unaware that a brutal slaughter was about to descend upon them.

「Lord Zi Ya, I feel it's too quiet... 」

On the streets inside the fortress, observing the clear-cut boundary, an Alien Species stationed in the inner city hissed doubtfully.

Although he heard nothing, after walking from the meeting's end to the main street, within just a few seconds he sensed something amiss.

Especially toward the periphery, the usually noisy low-rank area now seemed utterly silent.

Amidst the chaotic buildings blocking his view, he couldn't see anything, but he constantly felt something was off.

Quiet, too quiet...

It was as if that area had died.

Coming to a stop, the third-rank Alien Species called Zi Ya also wore a doubtful expression, involuntarily flicking out its tongue.

Under the third-rank's crisis instinct, this eerie silence seemed to surround them, also giving him a faint sense of unease.

「What are you spacing out for? 」

「Zi Ya? What are you worried about? This is inside the fortress! 」

Walking out of the moving spire-top building, another batch of third-rank Alien Species who had just finished the meeting stared oddly at the somewhat uneasy Zi Ya standing on the main street, and casually patted his shoulder.

Don't worry about so much, maybe it's mealtime now, those low Fourth Rank's have all gone back to eat.

Haha, this time the selection must have gained you a lot, right?

Those idiots really think this kind of good fortune of selection could still fall on them?

As if knowing some Inside Information, a snicker came from beside Zi Ya, then he excitedly called friends, planning to go enjoy the core area.

This round of selection has ended.

Those three Fourth Rank Alien Species responsible for the selection naturally made a fortune. Moreover, some Alien Species with poorer conditions, in order to have their relatives selected, did not hesitate to sell their bodies.

Older sister helps younger brother, younger sister helps older brother. Some impoverished lower-stratum Alien Species can only offer their bodies, in exchange for a chance to turn their fortunes.

Just thinking about the few mother-daughter flowers he reluctantly accepted, the speaking three Fourth Rank Alien Species couldn't help but feel somewhat excited.

They are truly a bunch of pitiful idiots, sending their own relatives into a pit of fire and then still feeling grateful to him...

But, isn't reality just like that?

"Tong Lin, I always feel..."

Forcing a smile, Zi Ya, who constantly felt a strong unease, turned his head; in his slightly constricted pupils, unease filled.

Too quiet...

Moreover, he seemed to smell a faint scent of blood?

For some reason, in his mind suddenly flashed that dull-witted Alien Species he had seen not long ago.

That Alien Species, somewhat strange and extremely weak, actually left an impression on him for no apparent reason.

His nostrils twitched; the next second, just as he was about to carefully sniff where the blood scent in the air came from, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly appeared from above his head.

In an instant, the whole space seemed to darken.

Instinctively raising his head, Zi Ya's pupils, whose scales had burst open all over his body, suddenly contracted.

Only see above their heads, a pitch-black Alien Species shrouded in black mist, like a monster, silently gazing down at them.

Before he could even realize what in his horror, in an instant he heard the sound of widespread cracking.

Only see, like the Descent of the Death God.

Confirming that there were over a hundred heads of three Fourth Rank Alien Species on site, Lin An, who had canceled the Death God's halo to prevent these Alien Species from reacting within a second, at this moment acted like a ruthless killing machine, striking out violently.

"Bang bang bang bang!!"

After continuously exhaling several bursts like air cannons, each three Fourth Rank Alien Species was instantly blasted to death, their bodies seemingly undergoing disintegration and exploding on the spot.

They didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry.

Everything happened too fast!

After seeing in the blink of an eye that three Fourth Rank Alien Species of the same level were being killed, Zi Ya's fear almost made him go numb with a buzz.

What monster is this!? What monster is this!

The rich smell of blood drilled into his nostrils.

Only now did he realize why this place had suddenly become quiet!

Instinctively locking eyes with those pitch-black pupils, he suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.

This monster is...!!!?

No!! No!!

"Bang!"

Noticing that one Alien Species seemed to behave somewhat abnormally, after Lin An, who had suddenly reversed and teleported, killed the few three Fourth Rank Alien Species at the farthest point, he thoughtfully glanced down at Zi Ya.

As if recalling that this Alien Species was the one previously responsible for the selection, Lin An felt no disturbance and kicked its head into its chest.

"Ding, earned 3 honor points.."

After hearing the confirmation of death, Lin An had no hesitation and directly continued killing inward.

On the ground, the corpse of Zi Ya, trampled to death alive, looked like a tomato violently squeezed, with its internal organs blown everywhere.

Before dying, in his eyes filled with extreme shock, he actually realized that this suddenly appearing monster, comparable to a Death God, was none other than the "Red Tooth Leaf" he had encountered before.

But even realizing this point before death was meaningless.

He could never figure it out even in death, but the one who killed him was actually another world's Lin An.
