Chapter 2087

Bang!

The earth shattered, and extreme stillness rotated.

At the instant the message was received, the white earth beneath Lin An's feet turned like a nuclear explosion, instantly bursting into a fine web of spider silk.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black-red light and vanished on the spot.

Eternal Summit, southwest direction 63°14'.

"Princess Ka Lian, shouldn't we move first? The second batch of participants is about to enter; I've taken a look, and this batch includes several civilizations we know!"

Standing at the bottom of a deep pit, the pale red War Star Level stationed beside Ka Lian, somewhat agitated, repeatedly sensed the surrounding fluctuations.

The civilizations entering in the second batch are considerably stronger than theirs; according to the explanation given by the Starlight Battlefield, the enemy is very likely to descend behind them!

If they don't leave now while they have the chance, they'll easily become prey!

"Wait a moment, the mental imprint I left shows that No. 01 is not far from us."

"I can still wait for about half a minute!"

Princess Ka Lian furrowed her brows, hesitating but still insisting on staying here to meet up with Lin An.

Half a minute's time bought them a Body System comparable to a Fifth Stage, which will be very helpful for their upcoming actions!

Especially since the power she brought this time is already inferior to that of other teams; if No. 01 meets with an accident on the way, it would truly be an ill-fated start.

Simply noticing that Lin An had not replied to her message, Princess Ka Lian couldn't help but become irritated for a moment.

This damned War Slave, Qing Kai surely didn't skip training, did he!?

Noticing that the Princess seemed to have gotten no response, several War Star Individuals couldn't help but ask instinctively:

"Princess Ka Lian, haven't those War Slaves come over yet?"

"No way!? They wouldn't have run into a Fifth Stage from another civilization, would they!?"

They never imagined that Lin An and the others would dare to defy orders; several of them instinctively thought that Lin An's side might have encountered another Fifth Stage. Although the Body System has decent combat power, in this kind of team battle on the battlefield, it is extremely prone to being suppressed by the rules.

Putting it bluntly, the best use for a Body System like Lin An's is as a bait meat shield; without these Fifth Stages suppressing the rules, it cannot exert any effect at all.

Instinctively, several of them intended to lower their status to go find Lin An, but as soon as the words left their mouths, another middle-aged War Star who had been constantly berating Lin An suddenly changed expression.

"Wrong! The mark I left on that batch of War Slaves and the direction sensed by Lady Ka Lian don't match!"

The middle-aged man suddenly looked at Princess Ka Lian, as if he had realized something, and hastily pointed his finger toward the distance:

"Your Highness! Can you sense which direction No. 01 is moving? Is it to the left?!"

Reacting swiftly, upon hearing the middle-aged War Star's words, Princess Ka Lian's expression changed instantly, understanding his meaning.

"It's to the left! I just sent him a message telling him not to fly wrong!"

"Damned War Slave! He's actually gone to look for his own kin!?"

Fuming, Princess Ka Lian's eyes turned cold, and she instantly realized why Lin An hadn't replied to her message nor gone to meet with them.

It turns out that this batch of War Slaves had also been scattered upon entry, and No. 01, worried about his kin, dared to defy her order and ran off to find his own people!

"No. 01 War Slave! Get back here!"

"You dare defy my order—you're asking for death!"

Without hesitation, accustomed to issuing commands from a superior's posture, Princess Ka Lian angrily shouted at Lin An, and the spiritual imprint branded in Lin An's Thought Space was also instantly triggered.

If Lin An doesn't listen, she doesn't mind letting this monkey taste what a superior's dignity is!

However, faced with Princess Ka Lian's wrath, Lin An seemed to vanish, still giving no reply. In her perception, the light point representing Lin An was even moving farther away from her original position!

"Courting death!"

"No. 01, you're testing my patience!"

"Hum!"

Blue light flashed in the depths of her eyes; Princess Ka Lian coldly stared in the direction Lin An had 'fled,' and her right hand clenched fiercely.

A mere War Slave actually dares to ignore her! Then...!

"Scram!"

Before Princess Ka Lian could trigger the imprint, the next second a formless silver light suddenly exploded within her Thought Space.

A voice devoid of emotion instantly smashed toward her.

As if struck by an invisible heavy hammer on the head, in everyone's eyes the girl who had just been about to punish Lin An seemed to be slapped away by an invisible palm, her whole body flying back with a boom and slamming heavily against the pit wall.

"Wah..!"

Bright red, scalding blood poured uncontrollably from her mouth and nose; in the deep pit, Princess Ka Lian, in a sorry state, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'wah,' her eyes filled with shock.

"Princess Ka Lian!?"

"Damn it! Someone's attacking us!"

"Enemy attack! Raise the shield, protect the Princess!!"

Mistakenly thinking that other Fifth Stages around were secretly attacking them, several people rushed to Princess Ka Lian's side, quickly forming a barrier with their own rules.

However, before another Fifth Stage could instinctively mobilize its rules to try to locate the ambushing Fifth Stage, Princess Ka Lian, deeply embedded in the pit wall, appeared as if she had seen a ghost and voicelessly stopped her.

"Not an enemy attack!"

"The imprint! It's the imprint!!"

Trembling all over, unable to comprehend what was happening, the girl climbed up and stared in shock toward the direction where Lin An was.

It's utterly absurd, truly preposterous!

It's hard to imagine, but she just suffered a backlash! That War Slave's mental power is actually several times stronger than her War Star Peak!

No, recalling that violent mental backlash just now, Princess Ka Lian's lips trembled, feeling it was like a hallucination, beyond her comprehension!

A mere Fourth Stage native monkey almost blew up her brain! If she hadn't promptly severed the connection, even her mind would have been harmed!

Qing Kai..! What kind of monster did Qing Kai find for her!?

That War Slave is definitely not a Fourth Stage!

「Brand?!! 」

「What brand!! 」

Guarding around Ka Lian, watching the pale-faced highness, several Creator fifth-stage all felt a strong unease rise in their hearts.

Just for a moment they couldn't react, and several people simply couldn't understand what Ka Lian had discovered!

A few seconds later, as Ka Lian exclaimed what had just happened, the entire troop's faces all changed dramatically, and they instinctively thought of too many conspiracies!

「Run! Your Highness, hurry! 」

「Damn it! Are you saying that the War Slave named Lin An actually has mental power far exceeding Fourth Stage!? Trap! It must be Qing Kai who betrayed us; he could sneak past us and infiltrate, surely harboring ill intent! 」

Not having time to be angry, upon realizing Lin An had a major problem, the entire troop fled as if escaping for their lives, without hesitation running in the opposite direction.

They all entered with their true bodies; although theoretically even if Lin An had a problem, they, being so many Fifth Stage, would not be afraid.

But all of this was simply too bizarre, like an ant on the roadside that one intended to crush, suddenly turning into a savage beast that snapped their legs in one bite.

For a moment, several people even began to suspect other squads of the same alliance, thinking this was a trap aimed at Ka Lian!

At the same time.

The Creator squad, sensing that they were suddenly moving in the opposite direction, even shielding their mental brand.

Lin An, moving at high speed, merely shook his head slightly, not caring about anything.

He had originally planned to bring his team members and follow Ka Lian's group, mixing in for a while, and act once they had gathered enough intel. After all, the Creator Alliance at least had some competition experience, which was somewhat useful.

But time was pressing, and Lin An couldn't be bothered to keep up the disguise.

Locking his gaze on the rule fluctuations coming from afar, Lin An, with even greater speed, instantly shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, violently charging.

He had already sensed the group of Fifth Stage pursuing Gao Tian.

Anyone who dares to act against him had better prepare to die!
