Just as Lin Zhen was about to leave, his sharp senses suddenly caught a trace of abnormality!
"What's that sound?"
Lin Zhen listened carefully and vaguely heard some crashing sounds. The screeching of the Zerg came from about a thousand kilometers away.
After listening for a while, Lin Zhen was suddenly not in a hurry to leave.
"Chris, check the Dimensional Universe and see if there's anything that we haven't noticed."
Kris quickly replied, "Master, something important has happened. Tianci is broadcasting a video. The insectoid warriors have used their flesh and blood to carve out a path, forcing their way through the floating island. They're getting close to us."
"Oh, let me see!"
Lin Zhen immediately logged into the Dimensional Universe's forum. At first glance, it was similar to what he had guessed.
Countless Zerg warriors had used their bodies to form a passage of flesh and blood. God knew how many of them had been sacrificed to open the passage to a position less than a thousand kilometers away from him.
"Ha! These Zergs have really strong willpower. They can actually think of this kind of human wave tactic. No … it's the insect wave tactic. Is it really worth it for them to forcibly break through the floating island just to kill me? It seems that my life is really worth a lot. "
Lin Zhen couldn't help but pat his knee lightly. "If I had known that I was worth so much, I would have tied myself up and sent myself to the Zerg Race in exchange for tens of billions of cosmos crystals. That way, my doppelganger wouldn't have to work so hard."
Lin Zhen's doppelganger was still opening the Star Shifting Store on the Kirin Sacred Planet. The income was considerable. In the past four years, it had accumulated about twenty billion cosmos worth of wealth. It was only half of the target of forty billion cosmos worth of wealth.
However, it was the peak of his income recently because his doppelganger had learned King Yan Jun's unique skill, Flash Attack!
Flash Attack was as fast as lightning, and it could launch sub-light speed attacks while attacking.
If his doppelganger learned it, it meant that Lin Zhen's main body had learned it. Therefore, Lin Zhen's hidden strength was quite strong.
Now, Lin Zhen's doppelganger had a breakthrough as well. Now, Lin Zhen's doppelganger had more than 4,000 stars. Although the doppelganger didn't have a mutated black hole like Lin Zhen, the doppelganger's degree of armor transformation was very high under the stimulation of the black hole's power. When it transformed into armor, it almost looked like a galactic beast. If one looked carefully, they could even see Xiao Nuan's appearance when it grew up.
The doppelganger's natural devouring ability had also reached a terrifying level. Everything below the Nebula level was within its natural devouring capabilities.
Although it hadn't completely transformed into a Qilin, it was already halfway through. Therefore, the strength of the doppelganger wasn't too far behind the main body.
At this time, Lin Zhen was in an extremely good mood. As a martial artist, you could live without anything, but you couldn't live without strength.
A martial artist without strength was worthless. However, with the support of a huge amount of star power, Lin Zhen, who had just learned Time Stop, Mental Evil Spirit Awl, Mental Force Object Control, Space Slash, and Flash Attack, was undoubtedly very strong.
With strength came confidence. This was what it meant to be relaxed.
Looking at the situation in the Dimensional Universe from here, Lin Zhen felt like he was watching a show.
"Oh! The Empire actually sent a team to rescue me? They'll arrive in half a month? Let me look at the time … It's been 13 days since we set off. Does that mean that the rescue team will be here soon? "
However, in Tianci's video, Lin Zhen didn't see the rescue team at all. The Zerg team also didn't suffer any attacks.
"Hmph! The Zerg will be able to travel a few hundred kilometers in at most an hour. If I count on them to rescue me, I'm afraid that my bones will rot away. "
Lin Zhen cleaned up. After staying here for four years, Lin Zhen's appearance was extremely sloppy. His beard was unshaven, and his clothes were tattered. He looked like a savage.
He changed into a new set of clothes and built a small house with the Light Fiend, which had been upgraded to a middle-grade divine artifact. Then, he condensed a cloud of water vapor and took a bath.
After washing up and cleaning up, there was still half an hour left. Half an hour later, the Zerg would be able to travel through the meteorite belt.
While waiting for the arrival of the Zerg in boredom, Kris suddenly prompted, "Master, someone in the Dimensional Universe is calling for you. It's the captain of the Fire Qilin Empire's Royal Guards, a Level 9 Nebula martial artist, John. He calls himself the person who will save you."
"Oh! The person who will save me? Hahaha! He came just in time! "
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do. I'll see how this Captain John will save me in this situation. If he can do it, I'll have to say I'm impressed."
Soon, Kris connected, and the image appeared …
*****
"Uncle John, you said that we came all the way from the ends of the earth to this Chaotic Star River to save some so-called national hero? Are we considered heroes?"
A young man leaned lazily on a chair, talking to a man in his early thirties.
The man looked back at him. "Zhang Yang, we're not heroes. We're just following orders to save a pitiful person who's about to die here."
"Hmph! I can't stand the way the people flatter him. If he's so capable, why is he still trapped here by the Zerg? Why do we have to save him? If you're so capable, come out yourself. We have to beg for help. "
John did not answer Zhang Yang. He only frowned slightly.
"The Zerg have replied!"
John's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately connected to the Zerg's communication channel.
The one who was talking to him was the Locust Commander, introduced by Tianci.
The Locust Commander appeared on the screen and said arrogantly, "You're John, right? I know why you're here, but it's impossible to save Lin Zhen. You've seen it yourself. We've sacrificed billions of soldiers, and we're about to break through the floating island. Now you're saying you want to take him away? That's bullsh * t! Do you think billions of Zerg soldiers have been sacrificed for nothing? Not even the gods can do that! "
Hardedef immediately smiled. "Honorable Commander-in-chief, we came with sincerity. You should know that our Emperor has ordered us to bring Lin Zhen home no matter what. As for your losses, we will do our best to compensate you. Please state your conditions. As long as I can make the decision, I will not bargain."
The Locust Commander rolled his eyes. "Hmph! Will you accept my terms? Very well, prepare one trillion cosmos crystals. We want to compensate the dead soldiers. Anything less than that is off the table! "
Hardedef immediately took in a breath of cold air, "Sir Commander, this is impossible. A trillion cosmos crystals is absolutely unacceptable. Not to mention a trillion, even a hundred billion cosmos crystals would be difficult."
"Since you're so insincere, then there's no need to negotiate!"
The Locust Commander immediately cut off the communication channel.
"Uncle John … Didn't the emperor authorize you to pay 500 billion? I want to negotiate with you. Maybe there's hope to bring Lin Zhen back. After all, those Zergs are worthless in the Zerg Empire. They're asking for a sky-high price. Can we just sit on the ground and pay them back?"
John suddenly sneered. "Zhang Yang, you're my nephew. I won't hide it from you. Bringing Lin Zhen back is right. The emperor's will must be carried out, but we can't ignore the King of Mechanical Realm."
"King of Mechanical Realm … He's Ye Hua's father. You mean …?" Zhang Yang immediately understood.
"That's right. The King of Mechanical Realm doesn't want Lin Zhen to come back, so I don't want this negotiation to succeed. I can only give you 100 billion, but what we bring back will be a reckless and heroic Lin Zhen."
"Then what should we do?"
"Easy. The video with the Locust Commander just now was for others to see. I've secretly transferred 100 billion cosmos crystals to him. As long as they let Lin Zhen pass through, I'll have a way to make Lin Zhen go back with righteous indignation and fight those Zergs to the death. By then, Lin Zhen's death will have nothing to do with us. We've already promised the Zergs to let him out, but he's the one who can't bear it and went back to kill them … Haha!"
"Uncle! I'm really impressed. You can even come up with such a plan. "
"Learn slowly. You still have a lot of things to do. Oh … Lin Zhen has accepted my request in the Dimensional Universe. I'll go into the Dimensional Universe and talk to him. We'll talk later."
In the Dimensional Space, John saw Lin Zhen in the room. He didn't look like a savage as he imagined. He could see that his clothes were new.
"This guy, knowing that we're here, he even changed his clothes. He really doesn't know what's good for him."
John smiled. "Lin Zhen, it's nice to meet you. I'm the captain of the Royal Guards, John. I'm here to bring you home. You're free."
"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, Captain John. Can I leave now?"
"Hmm … It's like this. For your safety, I've had a tough negotiation with the Zergs. It wasn't easy to get them to agree to let you leave through a passage. In a while, you'll have to follow their request and walk out with your head down. Their passage should reach you soon."
"It's that simple?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Maybe they'll have some unreasonable requests, such as beating you up a few times or something. But that's not important. What's important is that you'll come out alive. What's wrong with a little humiliation? A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. When you're successful in your cultivation one day, we'll take revenge."
Lin Zhen looked straight at John. He was talking to the other party in the Dimensional Universe, and then through the Dimensional Universe, it was broadcasted to the other party's spaceship.
In the Dimensional Universe, it was allowed to fight.
Looking at the contempt and ridicule in John's eyes, Lin Zhen suddenly sneered. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and a wave of Psychic Energy suddenly blasted out and went straight to John's mind. At the same time, he asked, "Then, Sir John, what price did you pay to save me?"
John only felt his vision go black. He didn't realize what was happening at all. He instinctively said, "Save you, my ass. Give the Zergs some money to let you come out, and then you can walk through this passage. They'll torture you here and play with you until you can't take it anymore and take the initiative to attack. At that time, your death won't have anything to do with me. Lin Zhen, you've offended Ye Hua. If the Mechanical Realm King wants you dead, you're dead!"
In the next second, John's consciousness came back to him. He saw Lin Zhen nodding at him. "Okay, I agree with your suggestion."
John only felt a little dizzy, but he didn't realize what had happened. He thought Lin Zhen had agreed, so he immediately nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. We'll be there soon. Get ready to leave Sky Island through the Zerg's passage. No matter what they do to you, just endure it. Don't worry, we'll take you out safely."
