Lin Zhen felt an ominous gust of wind above his head and reacted immediately.
The bright silver spear appeared in his hand, forming a screen of spears above his head!
After a fierce collision, the black shadow retreated, but it left behind a dizzying cloud of dust.
Lin Zhen shook the bright silver spear in his hand, spinning it like a windmill. The powerful spinning force blew away all the dust, and only then did he have time to look at the thing that attacked him.
The thing was standing on a tree branch not far away. Its two wings were raised high, reaching a height of more than five meters. Its wings had a large compound eye pattern, and there were antennae on its forehead. Its eyes were crystal-like, and its body was slender. It was actually a huge mutated moth.
Moths were nocturnal creatures. Even after mutating, they still chased after light. That was why there was the saying of moths flying into flames. This thing had appeared here because it was attracted by the star crystal. In the end, it encountered Lin Zhen, and instinctively wanted to hunt him down.
Lin Zhen moved his feet lightly, waving the spear in his hand. He looked at the thing vigilantly.
Although he had a lot of combat experience in his previous life, he had never fought with a mutated insect. This was because mutated insects could only be found in the Star Fruit Tree.
Although the insect had mutated and its body was huge, its brain capacity determined that it did not have a high IQ. After missing its attack, the mutated moth did not feel that this prey was difficult to deal with. It flapped its wings twice, and a cloud of dust rose from its body. Its mouth actually made a hissing sound, and it once again pounced on Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen was still a little dizzy. The dust on the moth's body seemed to have the effect of making people unconscious. Fortunately, he used his spear to blow it away, or else he would have already fallen.
Seeing the moth attack again, Lin Zhen immediately held his breath. His feet kicked off the tree trunk, and his body jumped up. His bright silver spear struck out like lightning!
Torrential Rain!
Countless lightning particles burst out at this moment. The speed of Lin Zhen's long spear had reached an inconceivable level, and a torrential rain of spear lights flashed. The speed of this giant moth was not fast, so how could it avoid Lin Zhen's torrential rain? Both of its wings were smashed into pieces, and it was no longer able to fly. It spun around and fell to the ground.
Lin Zhen landed on the ground, his footsteps staggering. Although he had held his breath, he was still somewhat unable to control himself during the battle, and he had unavoidably inhaled some dust.
"What a tyrannical powder. I can't fight for long. Get rid of it!"
Lin Zhen took a step forward and arrived in front of the fluttering moth. He put away his spear and transformed the liquid metal at his waist into a long sword. With a swing of his hand, he cut off the moth's head!
Light green liquid flowed out along with the internal organs, giving off a foul smell. Lin Zhen did not care at all. He dug his sword into the brain, and a gray crystal appeared.
"This kind of mutant insect's crystal is similar to a mutant beast's crystal. It is the energy core of its mutation. Although it is useless now, I can collect it and sell it to the Ministry of Science and Technology."
Because Lin Zhen was a member of the Ministry of Science and Technology, he had once seen a gray crystal on the Ministry of Science and Technology's website. At that time, he did not realize what it was, but now he remembered that it was a mutant insect's crystal.
Because the number of mutant insects was far less than mutant beasts, only people in the Divine General Training Camp had the opportunity to obtain them. Therefore, the price of this thing was more than twice as expensive as a mutant beast's crystal. Lin Zhen had long planned to collect it.
Holding the crystal in his hand, Lin Zhen first put it under his nose and took a deep breath.
A cool breath was injected into his brain, and the feeling of dizziness in his head disappeared.
"Sure enough, the best way to break the influence of mutant insects is to use their crystal. This can be considered as the person who started the trouble needs to untie it."
With his mind clear, Lin Zhen did not care about the dead moth. Instead, he prepared to go back to the flower bud to pick the star core crystal.
However, as soon as he walked over, he found a person on the flower bud!
This person had also just arrived and was reaching out to pick the star core crystal.
Lin Zhen could not help but be furious and immediately shouted, "Stop! That's mine! "
The person turned around and Lin Zhen saw his face with the help of the light from the star core crystal. This person was an intermediate warlord and looked somewhat familiar. He was clearly one of the eighty warlords who had entered the tree this time.
After thinking carefully, he seemed to be a warrior who ranked seventh in the intermediate warlord group. His name was Li Yuan.
"Lin Zhen!"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Zhen. However, he immediately picked up the star core crystal and said to Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you ranked first in the beginner group. We intermediate warlords will not give you face. Star core crystals are first come, first served. What right do you have to say that it's yours?"
Once a star core crystal was picked up, it would dissipate if it was not absorbed within ten minutes. Lin Zhen saw that the crystal was already in the hands of this person. He took a deep breath and the bright silver spear appeared in his hand again. He walked over step by step.
"I found this star core crystal, but before I could pick it, I encountered a mutant moth. I had just killed the moth, but you came to pick up the peach that had fallen to the ground. Do you really think that I, Lin Zhen, am easy to bully? Put down the star core crystal and we will be at peace. Otherwise, you can stay here today!"
Li Yuan laughed and said, "Lin Zhen, you are too arrogant. Yes, your results during the assessment were amazing, but that doesn't mean anything. You only got high marks because your results in the Good and Evil, Courage, and Willpower tests were better. I also admit that you are outstanding among the beginner warlords, but in the intermediate group, your actual combat ability can only be regarded as average. You are not even in the top ten. What right do you have to threaten me?"
Li Yuan's words were somewhat reasonable. The real test of a warrior's ability was in the fourth test. Lin Zhen did not get full marks in the fourth test. Although his score was very high, in the eyes of these intermediate warlords, Lin Zhen's technique in killing mutant beasts was a big factor.
In terms of strength alone, Lin Zhen was definitely not the top figure among these elite intermediate warlords.
Of course, Lin Zhen did not use gravity during the siege. This was also a factor.
As Li Yuan spoke, he held the star crystal in his hand and looked at it. "Tsk tsk! What a beautiful treasure. Lin Zhen, if you know what's good for you, don't compete with me. If you use force, I will let you know what an intermediate warlord is. "
"Swish!"
Before he finished speaking, the star crystal in his hand suddenly flew out of his control and landed directly in Lin Zhen's hand!
"What's going on?!" Li Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect that Lin Zhen would be able to use telekinesis when he was more than ten meters away.
With the star crystal in his hand, Lin Zhen laughed and stored it in his interspatial ring. "In the future, don't forget to store good things immediately when you get them. Otherwise, you will suffer a loss."
"Give it back!" Li Yuan was furious. He raised his hand and a sword appeared. Then, he attacked Lin Zhen.
"You are courting death!"
With the star crystal in his hand, Lin Zhen was in a good mood. He attacked without any scruples. He swung his silver spear and was as immovable as a mountain!
A series of sparks flew in the dark night. Li Yuan's fierce attack was fruitless and he retreated with exhaustion.
"What a strong defense!" Li Yuan was shocked. He once again assumed an attacking posture, but there was no contempt in his eyes.
Lin Zhen didn't want to be entangled with Li Yuan here. The other party was the seventh in the intermediate group. His strength couldn't be underestimated. Although Lin Zhen was confident in winning, he wasn't someone who could be defeated in a few moves. Besides, the star crystal would dissipate in ten minutes. Three minutes had already passed.
"Li Yuan, don't push me too far. If you leave now, we will be safe. Otherwise, you have to be careful. Let's see if you can block my flying daggers in the dark night!"
As Lin Zhen spoke, five flying daggers hovered in the air. They were almost undetectable in the dark night.
Li Yuan's face suddenly changed. A spirit reader's flying dagger was too difficult to guard against in the dark. He really didn't have the confidence to block it.
But when he thought about how the star crystal had been snatched away, he was still unwilling. His feet didn't move. He was clearly prepared to fight to the death with Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's face sank. It was rare that he didn't want to be entangled with someone, but this guy didn't want to give him face. Then he had to fight. But it was a pity that he didn't have the time to absorb the star crystal.
His strength was still not enough! Lin Zhen thirsted for strength more and more.
But at this time, Lin Zhen saw a giant spider slide down from the sky along a thick silk thread. Its target was Li Yuan.
The spider was as big as a small house. Its fangs were exposed, and it looked extremely fierce. It was already above Li Yuan's head.
Although Lin Zhen wanted to kill, he really didn't want a student in the same batch to be killed by a spider. So he reminded him, "Watch out above your head. A big spider is coming."
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan sneered, "Lin Zhen, don't try to divert my attention. I know you want to use flying daggers to sneak up on me. This kind of trick has been used too many times. If you have the ability, come at me openly. See if I'm afraid of you … Ah!"
Before Li Yuan could finish his words, the spider's steel pillar-like legs dug into him. Its sharp claws pierced into his muscles, and a strong neurotoxin instantly invaded his brain.
The spider's legs moved quickly, and ropes of spider silk quickly wrapped around Li Yuan. Soon, he was tied up like a dumpling.
Li Yuan struggled with all his might, but the spider's speed was too fast. Coupled with the neurotoxin's invasion, his resistance became weaker and weaker.
Twenty seconds. In less than twenty seconds, Li Yuan was completely wrapped up by layers of silk. His face was twisted in pain, and his mouth was wide open. He looked like a mummy that had been injected with mercury. He seemed to want to shout something, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
The spider climbed up, and Li Yuan's body disappeared into the leaves.
Lin Zhen let out a deep breath, "Some people are always greedy for things that are beyond their strength. Who can you blame for your death?"
Lin Zhen wasn't in the mood to care about Li Yuan's death. He looked around, ran a few steps, and climbed up a tree trunk. Then, he hid in a hidden depression.
The terrain here was hidden, and there was no one to disturb him. The small hole was so small that even large insects couldn't enter. It was perfect for Lin Zhen to try to absorb the star core crystal.
