Chapter 1706

What incredible speed...

He instantly closed the exchange list; Lin An suddenly turned around and quickly put on the Death God Mask.

After quickly adjusting his somewhat chaotic aura, Lin An then strode toward the exchange point outside.

Although Hei Di and the others had already completed the pursuit and brought back the captives he needed.

But for Lin An, his heart sank instead.

Too fast...

From when Hei Di led the team to finish off the abandoned War Star Level targets until now, no more than about ten minutes have elapsed.

Although battles between Fifth Stage fighters are extremely fast, this amount of time is still a bit short.

It's obvious that Hei Di and the others didn't choose to pursue deeply, nor did they dare to face those Star-Destroyers.

Considering that Hei Di and the Chimera Emperor could hardly spare many 'heads' for him, Lin An could guess that this batch of captured Fifth Stage fighters would likely be even fewer than he had expected.

As expected.

After Lin An emerged expressionlessly, he could see at a glance the captives surrounded by layers of Fifth Stage fighters not far away.

"Lin Emperor, we have killed a total of forty-three Fifth Stage fighters and two hundred sixty Fourth Stage Peak fighters this time. Of them, thirty-nine were captured and brought back under control."

"The remaining Fifth Stage fighters, we simply can't catch up to."

Seeing Lin An come out, Hei Di quickly and carefully sensed Lin An's current condition.

His tone became even more respectful as he spoke.

His lowered head and expression were full of self-blame, as if he felt sorry for Lin An for not capturing many people.

Given his sincere attitude, if Lin An didn't know what Hei Di was really thinking, one might truly think this old fellow was willing but unable, and was merely feeling ashamed.

"Thirty-nine people? Three Fifth Stage fighters, and the rest are all Fourth Stage Peak."

"Is this the result of your mop-up operation?"

With a half-smile, Lin An coldly gazed at the distant captives, his sense of heaviness growing even stronger.

Old fox!

Two Star-Destroying Level beings led over a hundred Fifth Stage fighters to chase a group that only cared about fleeing, yet they managed to bring back only this few?!

Don't be fooled by Hei Di's weakened aura, his black light dimmed considerably, and the Chimera Emperor beside him was drenched in blood, clearly having endured a great battle.

But now that he knows just how powerful a Star-Destroying Level being is, Lin An clearly realizes this battle result is utterly fake!

Anyway, even if Hei Di's rules are depleted, with his Star-Destroying Level strength, going after a bunch of worthless Fifth Stage fighters, one person could easily take out a hundred of them!

Maybe capturing other War Star Level beings isn't so easy, but what are these slowest War Star Level ones? They're just cannon fodder! Abandoned!

Under normal circumstances, Hei Di and the Chimera Emperor could at least bring back twenty of them!

Fourth Stage Peak fighters, not even one can be let go!

Just think of Lin An's situation: even a lowly Human-Insect could trap and kill his Fourth Stage self, let alone Hei Di?

Sensing the coldness in Lin An's tone, the Chimera Emperor beside him felt his heart jolt, inevitably becoming nervous.

That's right, they deliberately captured far fewer, even killing a batch outside before bringing back these.

There's no way around it; Hei Di has hinted that Lin An needs a large number of points, so he naturally doesn't dare to bring back too many!

"Lin Emperor! We really did our best!"

"Our strength is far too weak compared to yours! If you personally took action, you would surely kill them all!"

"You also know that earlier, both I and Hei Di had our rules depleted, so we were willing but unable..."

A somewhat flustered explanation.

The Chimera Emperor, somewhat panicked, lowered his head, revealing the bloody scales on the back of his neck.

At this moment, it seems to be telling Lin An that he had actually been injured long ago!

However, compared to Hei Di, he fears Lin An more; if it weren't for Hei Di half-threatening him not to bring back too many captives, he actually wouldn't dare to do so.

Although he could also imagine that Lin An not personally pursuing afterward would certainly indicate a problem.

But he still fears it, after all, the scene of Gul Hong Mo being instantly killed was truly terrifying.

"Lin Emperor, if you're not too satisfied, we'll go after those people again. Of course, if you're willing to come along, that would be even better."

"Our strength is low, and we still need to be careful of those other escapees..."

Standing beside the Chimera Emperor, Hei Di silently cursed to himself, then simply gave a wry, respectful look toward Lin An.

He naturally saw that this stupid dragon was starting to be afraid. Not wanting it to say the wrong thing, he could only make up for it.

Having said that, Hei Di's gaze subtly began to carefully probe Lin An's body.

Lin An was dissatisfied, so he said, "Just keep catching people then."

By saying that, he also subtly tried to test how much combat strength this person still has.

We're trash; if you, Lin An, want more points, then do it yourself! At worst, Hei Di will just offer his humble service like a dog or horse.

The reaction was still fairly quick.

In the brief silence, the Chimera Emperor instantly understood Hei Di's meaning.

"Yeah, Lin Emperor."

"With your strength, if you don't mind the trouble, there are still a few Star-Destroying Level beings not too far away."

"Just give the order, and we'll immediately chase after you!"

Playing dumb.

After suppressing his fear of Lin An, the Chimera Emperor also straightforwardly declared his stance.

Hei Di's words reminded him.

That Star-Shattering Level monster probably can't easily make a move again. Anyway, relying on Lin An's intimidation, they've already gotten the first batch of rewards.

Lin An obviously needs them; he has no need to be too afraid.

If Lin An still has the combat power he had when he killed the flame giant demon, as long as he is willing to act personally, he can follow us there.

However..

(This person probably has a serious problem... otherwise we would have already brought our forces to hunt down those fifth-stage enemies..)

His thoughts raced.

The Chimera Emperor also couldn't help but secretly calculate Lin An's current combat power, trying to discern something.

In his view, Lin An's aura had already returned to normal, but under his star-destroying level strength, he keenly sensed that Lin An seemed to be lacking something.

Perhaps...

Without waiting for the Chimera Emperor and Hei Di to think much more,

The next second, Lin An suddenly gave a light chuckle, his originally icy gaze turning somewhat unfathomable, even becoming casual.

"I was just thinking of doing that."

"Didn't they run too far? Then let's first kill all fifth-stage enemies within a four-thousand-kilometer radius..."

As his words fell, Hei Di's heart jolted, as if he had misheard, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Beside him, the Chimera Emperor raised both heads, likewise being frightened down.

All fifth-stage enemies within four thousand kilometers!?

Lin An, can he really still act at will!?
