Chapter 1417

Unlike what I imagined, I originally thought the Red Net would have a special reaction after being broken through.

But at the moment of breaking through the Red Net, Second Will's heart suddenly relaxed.

Just as he broke through, the Red Net behind him suddenly seemed to light up, with several streams of information near light speed radiating in all directions, and otherwise nothing unusual.

If nothing unexpected, it should be sending out an alarm, exposing his current coordinates.

And after the Red Net, in Lin An's eyes, the scene outside the Red Net suddenly changed, turning into a pitch-black world.

Silent, oppressive.

Like a space-time shift, the world inside the Red Net originally had a sun hanging high.

But in the region outside the Red Net, darkness seems to be the dominant hue.

You can't see your fingers in front of your face, as if imposed darkness and omnipresent pressure fill the whole world.

Only in the high sky is there a single wheel emitting ink-colored light, a strange object like a moon.

Although it emits light, under its glow the world outside the Red Net becomes even deeper and darker.

It looks like a dead world.

"Different world environment? Suppression effect?"

Almost in an instant, Second Will suddenly felt an invisible pressure covering his body.

Relying on his strong judgment, he instantly realized this seemed to be a pervasive gravity filling the entire area.

"Area-wide gravity rule?"

"Is this used to restrain Aberrants?"

He raised his eyebrows.

Second Will instinctively glanced back at the two starkly different scenes inside and outside, immediately understanding why.

This battlefield was clearly divided into two zones, and both Aberrants and Alien Species had remodeled the 'rules' of their respective zones.

Aberrants have strong bodies, but their perception and various special abilities are far inferior to those of Alien Species.

Therefore they chose to create the Red Net, attempting to compensate for their perceptual detection shortcomings.

Of course, there may be other functions, but Lin An hasn't discovered them yet.

Alien Species, on the other hand, chose to impose heavy rule-based gravity within their own territory to increase the physical burden on Aberrants during battle.

As for the dark environment, it has no effect on Alien Species, but it can interfere with the already weak perception of Aberrants.

It can be said that both sides, in order to gain an advantage, are truly doing everything possible to increase their odds of victory.

"Not bad; for me it's not a big deal, and instead it will interfere with my pursuers behind me."

He slightly relaxed his breath, Second Will lowered his head to look at his own spontaneously operating Eternal Body.

Obviously, this pervasive rule is not strong; even if he cannot activate his Eternal Body, it can still be spontaneously neutralized in a passive state.

But just as he was preparing to lock onto a direction and leave, in an instant, a red ray suddenly shot into his body from within the previously unremarkable Red Net.

At near-light speed, even Second Will, constantly vigilant, had no time to dodge.

Buzz

Accompanied by a sudden beep, a strong wave of dizziness instantly disturbed his stance, making him unsteady.

It felt as if something had burrowed into his body.

What the—!?

His complexion slightly changed; upon realizing something had burrowed into his body, Second Will quickly used mental power to scan his body, but no matter how he scanned, a few seconds later he discovered with an ugly expression that the thing seemed to have vanished.

What is it!? Some kind of indelible tracking mark? Or something else?

Unable to determine its specific function, Second Will could only suppress the heaviness in his heart and directly leave.

Whatever it is, since it cannot be avoided, he can only take things one step at a time.

Does the difficulty increase here?

It doesn't matter anymore!

After locking onto a target, the Second Will, which had returned to a calm state, instantly shot out, preparing to find a fourth-stage elementary Alien Species to 'eat' as quickly as possible.

He now urgently needs to replenish his energy!

However, unbeknownst to him, this somewhat eerie red light, at this moment, seemed like a whisper, silently drilling into the light sphere representing Lin An's consciousness.

As the red light drilled in like a small snake, the originally shattered will, the Lin An consciousness that had fallen into a dormant state, imperceptibly twitched slightly.

If one could enter his currently dream-like damaged consciousness world, they would surely discover that Lin An at this moment seemed to be trapped within a 'dream'.

Altar, blood tree, white bones.

"We are... one."

A stiff white bone skull said.

"Huh!? The red net has been triggered!?"

"Did he escape out?"

A cold chuckle.

The General, who had been flying swiftly toward the southwest, suddenly halted and then, without hesitation, flew toward the direction of the red net's fluctuation.

Just as the Second Will had judged, the red net indeed serves to compensate for the mutants' perception abilities and the infrared defense line.

As long as he breaks through the red net, his own coordinates will be instantly located.

Moreover, any organism passing through the red net will also be affected by a temporary special rule, continuously exposing its coordinates for twenty-four hours.

This is also one of the special means the mutants use against Alien Species!

"Lin An... do you really think you can escape.."

In his high-speed flight state, the General wore a hint of mockery; he had thought that after Lin An fled, he would hide within the territory, perhaps even survive a bit longer.

But, as if seeking death, he made contact with the red net; did he really think that escaping this area would be okay?

Meaningless...

Although Lin An showed various abnormalities while fleeing, his strength underwent a shocking surge, and even now he doesn't know what happened.

But without a doubt, even if Lin An hid many more trump cards, he could not possibly be their opponent.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to flee at all.

Especially, in the news he just received, his subordinates' mutants found two corpses of mutants that had been devoured in the same way!

Combining the existing information, he can easily infer that Lin An's consumption must be enormous!

It is very likely that the desperate combat power that suddenly erupted is a special ability that consumes the source of life!

As long as we can find Lin An, it's nothing more than having a few more mutants die!

But after locking onto Lin An's exact position, the general seemed to think of something, and the plan to gather mutants from this area and nearby areas to surround and kill him suddenly changed.

Lin An... fled to the Alien Species' territory.

Although he is not afraid of the Alien Species, if too many forces are dispatched, the Alien Species will inevitably sense something is wrong instinctively.

By then...

"Attracting that bunch of monsters will surely be a trouble..."

"Lin An's corpse must be obtained..."

Thinking of the Emperor's order given to him, the general then cancelled the order to surround and kill low-ranking mutants.

There's no need to bring too many mutants to pursue.

It's pointless to say, and it would be too conspicuous.

Having him and the remaining high-ranking mutants is enough!

Although theoretically Lin An must die, even after confirming that if they cannot hunt down Lin An, they even considered simply selling the information and providing it to the Alien Species here.

But the best outcome, naturally, is still for them to kill Lin An and obtain the reward.

They also need a corpse of a Perfect One!
