Chapter 79: Reunion (Seven Updates, Please Subscribe)
After leaving the beach, Lin Shen and the other three were incredibly lucky to have found a rather hidden cave, which wasn’t occupied by any Base Variant Creatures.
The four of them hid inside the cave, and nearly forty hours had passed; they showed no intention of coming out.
“Cowardly, really too cowardly. That playboy has such powerful weapons and bodyguards, yet he’s been cowering the whole time.”
“Don’t be naive. He has a huge inheritance to protect, who knows who would benefit if he died, of course he has to be cautious.”
“Hiding like this, I reckon it will be hard for the Angel to find them before the countdown ends.”
“I actually kind of want to see them get robbed by the Angel.”
During this long period, the Mutators from the Lu and Xu families had learned the function of the watch, and naturally, the spectators did too.
In their eyes, this was more like a reality show, only a few knew that this was far from some reality show, without any script; death was real.
Lu Qing and Xu Tiange were now wholeheartedly following Lin Shen’s advice; even someone like Lin Shen, who had the capability to kill Mutated Crystal-based Creatures, was being so cautious in this place, what right did they have to act recklessly?
In truth, they were being misled by Lin Shen. This planet was indeed dangerous for humans, but not to such an extent.
Generally speaking, the oceans and certain mountain ranges were the most dangerous places, where Crystal-based Creatures were most likely to appear.
The forest was a high-risk area as well, but the plains were different; not as dangerous, with the main threats being steel creatures and Alloy Creatures.
Some members of the Lu and Xu families were luckily transported to the plains, where they had hunted a good number of prey, including mutants, and some had even obtained Mutant Eggs.
Of course, Lin Shen didn’t know this; both times he had been to this planet, he ended up near the sea with mountain ranges nearby, which was one of the most dangerous areas.
Moreover, the many terrifying mutants he encountered made Lin Shen feel that one had to be very prudent here and that he dare not go out hunting Base Variant Creatures carelessly.
Even if he wanted to hunt Base Variant Creatures, he would wait until he advanced to an Alloy or Crystal Base, acquiring the ability to protect himself.
Furthermore, the four of them had already made some gains, and those gains were quite high-level, so they lied down with a clear conscience.
While the other three were sleeping, a noise was suddenly detected by Xu Tiange, who was keeping watch. They all jumped up and gathered at the mouth of the cave, peering out quietly.
Before long, they saw a group of about fifteen figures walking this way.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Tiange and Lu Qing were overjoyed; among those fifteen people were members from both the Lu and Xu families.
They had thought that in such a dangerous place, their family’s Mutators would mostly have been lost to misfortune; seeing so many alive was an unexpected relief.
“Shen, look, they’re all our own people. Shall we let them come over and hide together?” Xu Tiange had learned his lesson and didn’t act without consent this time.
Seeing Lu Qing looking at him with a pleading expression, Lin Shen immediately agreed.
Firstly, those people were heading this way, and even if he didn’t agree, they might discover the cave later.
Secondly, Lin Shen wanted to gather information from them, to understand what the situation was like in the surrounding area.
The strengths of these new arrivals varied, and the fact that they had survived until now suggested that this place might not be as dangerous as he had thought.
With Lin Shen’s permission, Xu Tiange and Lu Qing came out of the cave and called out to their family’s Mutators.
The Mutators, upon seeing Xu Tiange and Lu Qing, were both surprised and delighted, and quickly ran over.
Lin Shen just stood inside the cave, watching those people with a cold eye. Their situation didn’t look too bad, but it wasn’t particularly good either.
It was very strange that among so many people, not a single one had a mount.
If one might say all their pets had been sacrificed, then they should have had many more wounds from such intense battles. However, it seemed that they had only a few injuries, and some of them even didn’t have any wounds at all, their clothes still clean and tidy.
However one looked at it, there was something odd going on.
Of course, Lin Shen couldn’t guess that these people had been robbed by an Angel and hadn’t managed to get new pets yet.
They did manage to get some Base Mutation Eggs, but these eggs couldn’t immediately become pets.
Zheng Yan was overjoyed to see Lu Qing.
After being robbed, as they hunted Base Variant Creatures, they hoped to find Lu Qing. They did encounter some people, but unfortunately, none was Lu Qing.
Zheng Yan was very worried about Lu Qing’s safety, knowing that if anything really happened to Lu Qing, he would have a hard time explaining upon returning.
Moreover, he didn’t want anything to happen to Lu Qing; he was planning on leveraging her to enter the core circle of the Lu Family.
Seeing that Lu Qing was unharmed, Zheng Yan was very happy, but when he saw Lin Shen standing in the cave, his brows furrowed again.
Xu Tiange and Lu Qing led everyone into the cave, and when Zheng Yan and the others saw the body of the Mutant Sea Demon God General, they were slightly surprised, but they didn’t say anything; they even thought it was just an ordinary Crystal-based Creature.
Xu Tiange and Lu Qing asked about their situation while Lin Shen silently listened on the side.
As Lin Shen had thought, aside from the seas and the mountains being relatively dangerous, other places didn’t actually have that many Crystal-based Creatures.
These people were relatively lucky, not being transported to particularly dangerous areas. Except for Zheng Yan’s group, they had basically not encountered any Crystal-based Creatures.
Therefore, their perception of danger was quite low, and they had actually managed to reach the mountainside.
As Lin Shen listened to their stories, nearly everyone mentioned the robbing Angel with clenched teeth, speaking about their experiences of being robbed.
Now Lin Shen understood why things had seemed so strange; it wasn’t that their pets had been sacrificed, but rather that they had been entirely plundered by the robbing Angel.
Lin Shen and Wei Wufu exchanged glances, both thinking of the same person.
“Tian Xin, that fellow, is still here? I thought he had already gone back,” Lin Shen thought to himself.
After he had robbed Tian Xin, Tian Xin had nothing left; logically, Tian Xin should’ve gone back to prepare before returning.
Unexpectedly, Tian Xin hadn’t gone back and had been lingering on this planet.
“I was originally planning to get some alien high-tech products from him the next time I came here. It’s really a pity that he hasn’t left,” Lin Shen felt slightly regretful.
It was very possible that on this planet lay the remains of The Ancient Realm King and The Three Treasure Chests. When Tian Xin arrived, he came in stealth, not daring to let others know, and even if he did go back, he would surely keep it a secret.
After all, compared to Humans, his strength was naturally strong, but among the Powerful Cosmic Races, he was just a small shrimp.
If he let this news out, what was The Ancient Realm King’s would hardly fall into his hands.
So, no matter what, Tian Xin definitely wouldn’t reveal the method of entering this planet.
