Chapter 270: 178, The Fox-Eared Girl Who Appears Like a Ghost_3
He suspected that Lu Tianrong was a traitor.
Previously, when he faced the masked man, Lu Tianrong did not appear.
Just now, when he faced the hunchbacked masked person, Lu Tianrong was also absent.
But now, as he had just regained his freedom and was about to make a run for it, Lu Tianrong showed up.
If that wasn’t a traitor, then what was?
99.9999% a traitor!
Lin Zichen was very cautious.
Adhering to the principle of “not harboring malice but always keeping guard,” he directly labeled Lu Tianrong as a traitor.
As he unleashed a frantic burst of Qi-Blood within his body, his legs moved into afterimages, keeping Lu Tianrong from getting close.
However, fate was not on his side.
Lu Tianrong’s speed was multiple times faster than his.
In less than half a minute, Lu Tianrong caught up with him and appeared at his side.
“Zi Chen!”
“It’s me!”
“Instructor Lu, Lu Tianrong!”
As Lu Tianrong closed in, he shouted at Lin Zichen, who was less than ten meters away.
At this moment, due to over-activation of his Exotic Beast Gene, his body’s transformation into a beast was very apparent.
His mouth was full of large and sharp fangs.
A pair of arms covered in fluffy hair grew from his back.
And with his body drenched in blood,
the entire person looked extremely ferocious.
“Instructor Lu, what’s going on with you?”
Lin Zichen felt a bit nervous inside, but his face did not show it; he just carried a hint of confusion.
Lu Tianrong’s Biological Level was High Level Sixth Order.
And he was not severely injured.
As for Lin Zichen’s strength, at best, it was equivalent to High Level Fourth Rank.
If Lu Tianrong really was a traitor, then it was more likely that Lin Zichen would face a grim outcome.
It was hard for Lin Zichen not to feel anxious.
Lu Tianrong, unaware of his inner tension, quickly explained to him:
“Previously, when fighting against that masked man who could control vines, in order to defeat him, I had to excessively activate my body’s Exotic Beast Gene.”
“After the excessive activation, my strength became stronger than the masked man.”
“But unfortunately, my skills were still not as good as his, and he trapped me with his vines, leaving me unable to break free.”
“Luckily, just now Principal Yuan found me and helped me get rid of the vine’s bindings with a throw of his water knife, otherwise I’d still be stuck there.”
“…”
Hearing Lu Tianrong’s words, Lin Zichen chose to believe.
Because, with Lu Tianrong’s strength, dealing with him would be a piece of cake, there was no need to make up such convoluted stories.
Lu Tianrong asked, “By the way, where are the others? Why are you alone?”
Lin Zichen explained, “Earlier, we were being pursued by the heavily injured masked man. Knowing he was after me, I drew him away alone to let the others escape. They should be at the bus now.”
“I see.”
Lu Tianrong nodded, then asked, “What about the masked man?”
“He’s dead.”
Lin Zichen said startlingly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianrong’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Lin Zichen explained again, “The masked man was severely injured at the time, and his strength had greatly diminished. I was able to kill him by taking advantage of a surprise attack.”
“I see.”
Lu Tianrong nodded and said, “The masked man was heavily injured by me at that time. His strength must have declined to the point where it wasn’t even high-level anymore, so with a surprise attack, you could indeed win.”
Having said that, he continued to ask, “Did the Sect Hierarch whose Biological Level was as high as Ordinary Ninth Rank also die?”
Lin Zichen said, “Yeah, he’s dead.”
Lu Tianrong nodded, not probing further.
He assumed that the Sect Hierarch was beaten to death by a group of the special trainees.
Lin Zichen asked, “Instructor, is your body all right?”
“It’s fine.”
Lu Tianrong smiled and said, “Although there’s a tendency to mutate, as long as I get back to the military area and deal with it in time, there won’t be any issues.”
Lin Zichen then asked, “Instructor, what’s the story with that Ninth Elder who’s currently fighting fiercely with Principal Yuan?”
Lu Tianrong replied, “This Ninth Elder is from the Divine Plant Cult and is one of the Sect’s elders.”
“The Divine Plant Cult has nine elders in total, all of whom are Rare-level Fighters.”
“The Ninth Elder specifically manages the internal personnel matters of the Sect.”
“This person is said to be nearly two hundred years old and many influential figures have dealt with him when they were young.”
“Of course, it wasn’t a voluntary engagement, but rather, they were either threatened or enticed by him.”
“There are rumors saying that when Principal Yuan was young, he was threatened and tempted by this Ninth Elder, but luckily due to the support of his powerful family and his own great strength, he managed to not fall for it.”
“…”
“`
“So that’s how it is.”
Lin Zichen asked, “You said that all nine elders of the Divine Plant Cult are rare-level fighters, but what about their sect hierarch? Is he an epic-level powerhouse?”
Lu Tianrong shook his head, “Not sure, the sect hierarch of the Divine Plant Cult has never shown his face.”
“But I guess, he must be an epic-level powerhouse.”
“Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather so many followers and establish such a large heretical sect.”
“…”
An epic level, this was a rank that could withstand a nuclear bomb.
Lin Zichen felt this level was very distant.
…
A minute and a half later.
The two finally burst out of the forest and saw the bus parked at the roadside.
At the same time, they also saw Shen Qinghan and others.
Those people, poisoned by the flower toxin, were moving extremely slowly. They had just emerged from the forest not long ago and were about to board the bus to leave the area.
“Xiao Chen!”
As soon as Shen Qinghan saw Lin Zichen, she immediately ran over to him, bursting into tears and throwing herself into his arms.
While crying, she said, “I was really scared just now, scared that I would never see you again. Let’s never part again, okay? Not a single step apart.”
“Mmm, we won’t part.”
Lin Zichen touched her head to comfort her.
At that moment, Ma Xiwei came over and asked, “Why are you covered in blood? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Before Lin Zichen could respond, she handed him a small medicine bottle she was holding and said coldly, “I have a Great Restoration Pill here, take it and eat it.”
She remembered that Lin Zichen had once saved her, now it was her turn to repay him.
Just as Lin Zichen was about to say it wasn’t necessary, Shen Qinghan, who was in his arms, released her embrace and began to carefully examine his body, saying worriedly:
“Xiao Chen, you’re covered in blood. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?”
When Shen Qinghan first laid eyes on Lin Zichen, she was so overwhelmed with emotion that she had not noticed the detail of Lin Zichen being covered in blood.
Now that Ma Xiwei had brought it up, she realized belatedly.
She felt very guilty for a moment.
Feeling that she was too clumsy and not as considerate as an outsider, falling short of being a fiancée.
Lin Zichen held her hand and said, “It’s okay, stop checking, I’m not injured. The blood on me is someone else’s, not mine.”
“Really?”
Shen Qinghan looked up at Lin Zichen.
She suspected that Lin Zichen was telling a white lie, intending not to worry her.
“Really, I’m not lying to you.”
Lin Zichen said and, without further explanation, turned towards Ma Xiwei with a smile, “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not injured, so I don’t need the Great Restoration Pill.”
“No problem, you take it. If you need it later on, use it then.”
Ma Xiwei stuffed the Great Restoration Pill into Lin Zichen’s hand and then turned and walked away, tactfully not disturbing the couple’s moment.
She didn’t like to owe others favors and would repay them on the spot if she could.
In certain special situations, she can even accept betrothal by offering herself.
Lin Zichen looked at the medicine bottle in his hand that contained a Great Restoration Pill, didn’t think too much about it, and chose to put it in his pocket.
“Everyone’s here!”
“Let’s quickly get on the bus and leave!”
“This place is very dangerous now!”
“The Divine Plant Cult has sent a rare-level fighter here, who is currently confronting Principal Yuan.”
“Continuing to stay here, we might be affected by the clash between those two rare-level fighters.”
Lu Tianrong, enduring the pain of his mutation, shouted loudly to everyone.
As time passed, he felt the beastly nature inside him growing stronger and wanted to head to the nearest hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
To avoid some permanent damage that could be prevented if it took too long.
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.
The Divine Plant Cult sent out a rare-level fighter?
Is that necessary?
Also, Principal Yuan came?
What about the military district’s people? Why haven’t they come?
Everyone was full of doubts in their hearts.
But they all knew that now was not the time to dwell on these doubts.
The top priority was to quickly get on the bus and leave this place.
Thinking this, everyone boarded the bus, waiting for Lu Tianrong to drive away from this place.
When everyone was on the bus, the engine already started, ready to set off,
Suddenly, a graceful and pretty figure appeared in front of the bus.
It was a vixen character.
Without any warning, like a phantom, she appeared out of thin air in front of the bus in the blink of an eye.
