Chapter 1391

~6 min read 1,044 words

The airflow reversed, like an inhaling tornado.

He stared fixedly at the subordinate who had drawn a conclusion; the lead black-scaled one, as if unwilling to believe no matter what, spoke in a hoarse voice:

Are you sure Lin An did this?

Could it possibly be those monsters?

This is... an Overlord!

He was somewhat uncomposed.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to accept the fact, nor that he looked down on Lin An.

But the shock of this news truly left them unable to comprehend.

They were absolutely certain Lin An was merely a Fourth Stage beginner—even this dead Overlord had recently sent back a confirmation message!

Thus they could not imagine how Lin An had suddenly turned from an ant into a ferocious beast, and in an utterly inconceivable manner instantly slain an Overlord!

Wu Lin was also an Overlord; he asked himself whether his strength could possibly be much greater than that of the dead Overlord.

This meant that in the upcoming encirclement, he too could die!

Moreover, how short a time has this been!? Lin An's growth speed has reached a hair-raising, even terrifying level!

At this rate, what if three more days pass!? What if a whole week passes!?

"From Third Stage peak to slaying an Overlord... it's been barely less than a week!!"

"Why!! Who can tell me why this happened!!"

Standing beside the black-scaled one, another Dominion-level Alien Species felt his scalp go numb, his scales all over seeming to explode, and unable to accept this, he actually felt a long-lost fear!

Fast! Too fast!!

As one of the continent's four Overlords besides the Annihilators, he may not be an Overlord-title level, but he is a mid Fourth Stage.

If Overlords die, then wouldn't he die even faster!?

At this moment he suddenly understood why those clansmen behind the gate so feared a perfect being of the insectoid civilization.

They probably, in that world, also personally witnessed this insectoid repeatedly overturning their understanding.

"Don't argue!!"

"There's nothing to doubt!!"

Without waiting for the Fourth Stage Alien Species under immense pressure to speak for confirmation, a somewhat violent voice suddenly sounded from the rear.

There appeared a ferocious Dominion-level Alien Species whose scales were like bone spurs all over its body, flickering as if teleporting like a phantom, appearing right beside them.

"Monsters from the Death Battle Grounds couldn't possibly escape! Even if they did, that idiot would surely notice!!"

"Even if we concede ten thousand steps, even if Lin An allied with those monsters, it would mean he can now slay an Overlord!"

"Report to the Council of Elders! Report to the Annihilator Sir!"

"Our only problem now is to find Lin An!"

Although it was only a delay of a few seconds, once again Lin An got away, and his mood became extremely heavy.

Just as Lin An made a mistake, when hiding underground he did not constantly maintain the operational rule to conceal himself.

Their method of using pressure-scanning this time likely won't work either.

Lin An's escape this time must have gone deeper!

But just as he was about to command the many Fourth Stage to continue the pursuit, his nostrils twitched suddenly, as if he had smelled something, and he froze instantly.

The next second, his face flushed with rage as he snatched up the half of the severed snake head.

"Trash!"

"Trash!!!"

"This trash actually didn't activate its defense protocol!?"

"He deserved to die!!"

His anger was uncontainable.

Unlike other Overlords' mastery of rules, which differs from his, he, skilled in spatial rules, also has some perception of time.

Just arrived, he had not yet sensed the rule anomaly on the corpse of this dead Overlord.

But after a subconscious sense, he discovered that this dead idiot had not activated its defense!

No wonder Lin An managed to behead him!

In an instant, his extremely high mental efficiency let him mentally reconstruct the scene at that time.

It's a shame they initially wondered whether Lin An possessed some special ability, forcing this Overlord Alien Species in battle to have no time to send a message.

But now it seems he has figured out the truth of the matter!

This idiot probably harbored the thought of monopolizing the merit, which is why he didn't continue to report the coordinates.

Subsequently, his arrogance led him to abandon defense, and then Lin An's sudden attack instantly killed him!

Thus everything can be explained!

As his words fell, the surrounding Alien Species, after carefully sensing, also changed expression in unison; a hard-to-describe sense of ridicule instantly permeated their hearts.

Half annoyance, half relief.

The former is annoyance at this idiot's stupidity; the latter is relief that perhaps Lin An isn't as strong as imagined!!

Unbeknownst to them, after the Alien Species who had pointed out the truth snorted, he remained unaware of how great a hidden danger his revelation had buried.

In the depths of the ocean.

In the dark, lightless deep sea, Lin An somewhat laboriously emerged from a submarine volcano, and the next second lay powerless on the ten-thousand-meter seabed.

He still underestimated the pressure and temperature underground.

Traversing the entire continent through liquid metal is hardly different from directly piercing the whole planet.

After expending the light-exchanged wall-piercing scroll, unwilling to keep consuming points, he simply used his flesh to directly 'swim' across that previous continent.

Even at full speed, his current strength was a bit too much for him to handle.

However, it can be confirmed that he is temporarily safe now.

After a brief one-second rest, Lin An took a deep breath, a hint of excitement in his voice, and dove back into the points panel.

Now, he must make use of this safe time to boost his strength again!

"Dominion-level Alien Species... thirty thousand points!"

Even though he had seen the reward for slaying an Overlord more than once, seeing the huge amount of points on the panel, Lin An was still somewhat shocked.

He never expected a Dominion-level Alien Species to be worth so much—more than what he gained from slaughtering three regions...

Now, he must make a choice.

"Why not just keep strengthening his attributes, then hunt the Overlord..."

"Or... should he walk the path of rules again?"
