Chapter 447 257. Is the falling of leaves the pursuit of the wind, or is it that the tree does not retain them?_2
Appearances can be deceiving.
While others were astounded by Shen Qinghan's strength, Luo Qianxue gazed up at the two figures gradually distancing themselves in the sky, her heart filled with confusion.
Were these two really Earthlings?
How could their strength be so immense?
It didn't make sense...
...
High above,
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan flew towards the area littered with corpses and wreckage, intending to clean up the battlefield, scavenge for spoils, and, by the way, rescue the townspeople trapped in the fierce battle there.
But before they could get far, an extremely strange noise echoed around them.
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Zichen instantly became on alert.
He turned his five senses up to their maximum.
At all times, he stayed vigilant of his surroundings.
After observing for a moment,
Lin Zichen discovered that the strange noises were caused by seeds bursting open.
The entire sky was unexpectedly filled with eerie blue seeds.
Like dandelion fluff, they dispersed into the air, emitting a bit of light, dazzling like stars against the night sky.
"Lin Zi, we need to get away from here fast, these seeds might be dangerous!" Shen Qinghan called out a warning.
She quite liked the scene before her, finding it extraordinarily beautiful, breathtakingly so.
But she knew, a scene like this popping up on the battlefield suddenly couldn't be good.
It most likely had something to do with the Sun-Moon Sacred Land.
Because the Sun-Moon Sacred Land was a stronghold of exotic plants, and their methods usually involved vegetation.
Right now, these eerie blue seeds were likely the doing of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land.
Alerted by Shen Qinghan's warning, Lin Zichen, who had been observing the seeds, immediately snapped back to reality.
For some unknown reason, he had just been engrossed in observing them, as if enchanted by the surrounding eerie blue seeds, losing his senses.
These seeds were too peculiar; they needed to get away from them as quickly as possible...
With that thought in mind, Lin Zichen quickly moved towards Shen Qinghan, to take her away from the surrounding seeds, lest delay leads to disaster.
However, just as they were about to leave, the surrounding seeds suddenly burst all at once, creating a dense cacophony of noise.
"Pop... pop... pop!"
The moment this sound arose, the exploded seeds instantly spread out a vast amount of roots veined with blood, taking root in the air on the spot.
Witnessing such a sinister scene, Lin Zichen had no intention of contending with it and immediately escaped at the highest speed possible with Shen Qinghan.
He didn't know if he could resist it; all he knew was that he couldn't choose to confront it head-on without understanding his enemy.
If they failed, it would result in death and the annihilation of their paths, too great a price to pay.
The cost-effectiveness was questionable.
"Hum—!"
Lin Zichen, carrying Shen Qinghan, flew extremely fast, leaving a roaring sound in the air.
Just as the two swiftly streaked over the heads of the crowd below—
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Halfway there,
the pitch-black cage, where it was so dark you could not see your hand in front of you, suddenly lit up with beams of bright blue light, illuminating the inside of the entire cage.
In that instant when the blue light appeared,
Lan Tianbai and the others saw Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan approaching, and their faces were filled with confusion.
"Didn't you two fly away? How come you are here?"
Lan Tianbai asked, looking puzzled at the two of them.
Lin Zichen replied, "We hadn't flown far when this cage suddenly appeared and trapped us."
Lan Tianbai nodded, not asking further.
Instead, he furrowed his brow and carefully surveyed the surroundings, attempting to assess the current situation.
Lin Zichen did the same, maximising his senses to their limits, continuously scanning every corner of the cage.
Just then—
"Swish!"
A crisp sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other echoed.
Lin Zichen, hearing the noise, immediately looked in the direction it came from.
He then saw a dark figure plummeting rapidly from the top of the cage, landing on the ground with a "thud."
...
A puppet.
...
Buds bloomed in swarms.
It was the Thorn Fairy!
The whole team was shocked.
After that,
they continued fighting the enemy.
Noticing the presence of an Epic Level Expert.
...
...
...
An operation had failed.
The team suspected Luo Qianxue, the only Alien in the team, was the traitor.
They verbally attacked her, considering it wise for their safety to drive her out of the team.
But in reality, the traitor was someone else.
Luo Qianxue felt aggrieved—despite having been with the team for so long, always trying her best, she had never been trusted and just broke down crying.
Knowing that Luo Qianxue was not the traitor, Lin Zichen stood up for her.
Luo Qianxue was being ostracized,
and Lin Zichen casually uttered a remark.
Something seemed to dawn on Luo Qianxue,
recalling her own past ostracism, knowing that she was Bai Xue.
The Earthlings could only give up their stronghold in the Origin Land and retreat back to Earth.
Qianxue, come here.
