Chapter 2093: The Meaning of the Rescue Team

Lin Dui? Is that the potion you were talking about?

Nice, a hundred per bottle!? The expensive ones are two hundred!?

After the battlefield was cleared, Xiong Hanzi tilted his head, eyes fixed on the three potions in Lin An's hand.

Three bottles of potion radiating brilliant light were like highly condensed star cores; at a glance they gave off a strong, mysterious aura. Of course, they also looked expensive.

Unlike the virtual projections seen at the exchange point, the moment Lin An took them out, everyone realized these three potions could absolutely serve as life-saving trump cards.

"Yes, Star Potion—you take two bottles, Gao Tian takes one."

"You'll understand the potion's effects after researching them yourselves, but Zhang Tie, after using Star Potion to provide defensive power, you can use yourself as a self-destruct bomb."

"As for Gao Tian, when you encounter a strong enemy, you must not hesitate to use it. Your rule is too special; once people discover you can threaten them, those fifth-stage enemies will prioritize attacking you."

After handing over the potions, Lin An smiled and looked at Zhang Tie, who obviously dared not take them.

He saw that Zhang Tie wasn't afraid of taking the potion and then being forced to the front; rather, he hesitated, worried that Lin An wouldn't have enough.

"It's fine, I still have plenty in my hand; you take them, and I'll feel relieved."

"Brother Lin...? I... I wonder if taking it would be too wasteful..."

"Yeah, Lin Dui. This thing costs a hundred points per bottle; damn it, even if we killed a few fifth-stage enemies, we couldn't earn it back!"

They hurriedly declined, instinctively shaking their heads like rattles.

It's too expensive, really too expensive. Since they gradually learned about fifth-stage information, they've known how precious points are. Put bluntly, the lives of those battle stars just now, added together, might not be as precious as the potions in Lin An's hand.

"Just take them; your growth is more important than anything. If you really want to help me, just keep these potions!"

Seeing everyone refuse, Lin An furrowed his brows and immediately snapped at them.

The team members have great potential, although it seems hard for them to help him at this stage. But setting aside his strength, a few fourth-stage members working together can take down a fifth-stage enemy—this is already an outstanding achievement.

You should know, even the deceased Rock Sea leader couldn't help but exclaim—and those who died were his people!

Seeing Lin An frown, Zhang Tie and Gao Tian hurriedly took the potions, gripping them tightly, afraid to drop them. Unlike everyone else who treasured the potions, Mo Ling, who had just rushed over from another direction, stared fixedly at Lin An:

"You're leaving? You're not coming with us?"

When dealing with Lin An, Mo Ling's thoughts are extremely delicate. Based on her familiarity with him, she naturally instantly caught the subtext of his earlier words.

Everyone was shocked; Lin An also blinked slightly, but soon calmly nodded, not hiding anything.

"That's right; I'll probably part ways with you temporarily halfway to the Eternal Summit."

"At another location, there's something important to me; I need to go get it first."

"But don't worry, I've already arranged everything..."

"I'm going with you!"

Before Lin An could finish, Mo Ling suddenly interrupted him, her eyes full of stubbornness. Meanwhile, Wen Ya beside her couldn't help but open her mouth, obviously wanting to say the same thing.

"Lin An, I'm going with you! I have teleportation ability; bringing me along would be the most efficient!"

Having said that, little Mo Ling grabbed Lin An in one swift motion, afraid he'd run away.

Although she wanted to go with Lin An simply to be with him, upon hearing that he would part ways, she instantly realized his destination must be extremely far away; otherwise there'd be no reason to split midway!

Therefore, what she said isn't wrong; with her ability, following Lin An would definitely be helpful!

However, contrary to Mo Ling's expectations, Lin An gave a bitter smile and shook his head:

"Mo Ling, I understand what you mean. But the place I'm going is special—not only is it extremely far, the terrain is also incredibly complex, so your teleportation ability would be of little use."

"Rather than following me, I'd rather you coordinate actions with Zhang Tie and the others."

As he spoke, a white light flashed in Lin An's hand, and he promptly produced twelve bottles of potion in one go:

"Here there are two bottles of Rule Replenish and ten bottles of Spirit Burn."

"Mo Ling, if I'm not mistaken, you actually rely not on mental power for combat, but on vitality, right?"

"Your death spirit power is converted from vitality. The lower your life, the stronger your combat power? Except under normal conditions, you need to maintain a balance between life and death, right?"

Hearing Lin An explain Mo Ling's ability for the first time, everyone couldn't help but turn their curious gazes toward her.

If we talk about who's the most mysterious in Long An, there's no doubt—aside from Lin An, it's Mo Ling. In fact, in some respects, her mystery surpasses even Lin An's.

Since she rarely interacts with people, even Zhang Tie and the others' impression of her ability remains from the city defense battle.

Faced with Lin An's question, Mo Ling fell into a rare silence; after a while, she gave a displeased nod.

She isn't upset that Lin An revealed her secret; rather, once she knows Lin An has guessed this, she will certainly realize something. She wants Lin An to feel sorry for her, but she doesn't want Lin An to protect her. If protection is needed, it should be her protecting Lin An!

"Lin Dui? What does that mean? Is this little girl Mo Ling like me? The more corpse-like she is, the stronger she gets!?"

"Good grief, she used to control zombies, right? How did she end up making herself half-dead?"

Completely unaware of Mo Ling's little thoughts, Zhang Tie looked at her with a face full of amazed clicks, feeling like he'd found a kindred spirit.

But when faced with Zhang Tie's hehe and wanting to say something, Mo Ling merely gave him a cold, dismissive glance.

(Indeed...)

Lin An secretly sighed in his heart and didn't continue.

He had actually been guessing all along: Mo Ling had entered the Dark Realm multiple times and inexplicably fused with a ghost infant. Her doing this must involve some secret; her reluctance to tell him shows she fears he wouldn't agree.

(Is it for me? Or is there some crisis that Mo Ling plans to face alone?)

(After life and death, a soul either dissipates in place or enters the death realm. As for the death lord—could Mo Ling still remain in reality and also transform into a death lord...)

(No surprise, each transformation actually comes at a huge cost..)

Lin An silently buried his guess in his heart; he knows Mo Ling is stubborn, and some things, even if he spoke them out, couldn't stop her.

All he can do is become as strong as possible; only strength can prevent future tragedies.

Mo Ling regards him as her sole kindred spirit, wanting to always be with him. Frankly, Lin An has never not wanted to bring Mo Ling and everyone else along to the end.

"So, you're planning to have me cooperate with that clueless bear for training?"

"When will you come find me?"

Likewise, knowing Lin An's insistence wouldn't change, Mo Ling, somewhat unhappy, snatched the potion in one go, then lifted her head and stared at him.

We had agreed to fight side by side; she still thought Lin An would bring her along, and the two would, hand in hand, cut through the whole battlefield. But who would have thought, she was abandoned midway again.

She hated him so much her teeth itched; if it weren't for the crowd, she would love to bite Lin An to death in one bite.

Yes, only if you bring Zhang Tie and the others can I feel at ease.

Mo Ling, your abilities are very suited to leading troops in battle, including coordinating with Wen Ya and the others; without you, they would find it hard to form a strong combat unit.

Pretending not to see Mo Ling's resentment, Lin An spoke earnestly, after a brief thought, then said the battle plan he had devised.

To be honest, he only recently realized that some things might have been fated all along.

He and the rescue team.

Essentially, they are two completely identical combat units!
