Canaan Safe Zone.

“Ugh…”

The alarm woke Liu Xiangxiang from her deep sleep. She stretched as rays from the bright sun outside the window shone in.

Her beautiful figure emitted a gentle glow under the golden sunlight.

After a night of indulgence, her new day was still filled with mountains of work.

Liu Xiangxiang washed up in ten minutes and spent half an hour preparing two sets of breakfast, but she did not see Lin Sen waking up.

She walked to the door of Lin Sen’s room and knocked lightly.

“Little Lin, it’s time to wake up. You have the regional assessment in six days. You’ve got to make use of all the time you have to train!”

A moment later.

There was still no response from behind the door.

Liu Xiangxiang puffed up her cheeks and placed her slender hands on her waist. She raised her voice slightly.

“If you don’t get up, I’m going to come in and lift your blanket!”

There was still no response from inside.

Liu Xiangxiang pushed open the door, but she did not find Lin Sen on the bed.

A note lay on the conspicuous table. She picked it up and read it carefully.

After a while.

Liu Xiangxiang sat on Lin Sen’s bed in a daze. She looked out of the window at the towering Hundred Thousand Mountains. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.

She sighed.

“Stupid brother, you disobeyed me again…”

“You must come back alive!”

“Even if you accomplish nothing, even if you’re useless and dispirited, you have to come back alive.”

“After all, you’re my only family now…”

A tear streaked down her cheek.

Blue spiritual energy rose from nowhere and wrapped around her fingertips, outlining her dazzling fish-scale-like skin…

In a wilderness dozens of kilometers away from the safe zone.

A handsome man whose eyes were covered by a black cloth, dressed in a white samurai suit with a samurai sword at his waist, seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Canaan Safe Zone.

A smile appeared on his lips.

“I’ve found you, remnant of the merfolk remnant…”

…

“Is it raining?”

Lin Sen started a fire in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He seemed to sense raindrops hitting on his neck and looked up at the clear sky in confusion.

The next second, the Mortal Serpent meat skewer that emitted an alluring fragrance pulled his attention back.

Sprinkling the spices, Lin Sen took a few bites of the roasted meat in the magnificent and handsome wilderness.

“So crunchy, tastes like chicken!”

Then, he took out the soda beverage that he had prepared yesterday from the system warehouse and downed it in one gulp.

“Phew—”

“Awesome—”

Coming and going, killing demons and devils.

Taking big bites of meat and drinking big bowls of wine.

This was the life that Lin Sen wanted!

“It’s a pity that I can’t bring Sister here. However, as long as I continue to train here for a few days, I’ll have enough strength to give Sister a carefree life!”

Having lived two lives,

Lin Sen lacked a sense of belonging to this world.

If he immediately protected the world once he gained strength, this world that was monopolized by the financial consortiums and belonged to them, it would be a little unfair to the education he had received in his previous life.

The most fundamental motivation for Lin Sen to increase his strength was to give himself and his sister a safe and prosperous life.

If anyone were to stop him,

he would kill them!

“I’m full!”

“Now, it’s time to continue hunting other beasts to earn experience and materials.”

“I have a big test in Canaan in six days. I’ll give Sister a surprise then!”

The Mortal Serpent’s 50,000 ton carcasses was thrown into the God-level Farm by Lin Sen.

It’ll take some time for the system to digest it into materials.

That will probably be completed tonight and the rewards will be given.

During this period, I shall kill some small monsters to kill time.

It’s the perfect time to

test out his three attributes that had broken the 1,500-mark,

as well as the extent at which the new skill [Understanding · The Supreme Mother] could it increase his strength!

After extinguishing the bonfire, Lin Sen stepped on the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life that spread out from the void and walked deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

He searched for traces of other stronger ferocious beasts.

It took about four hours.

The noon sun was like a ball of flames, roasting the mountain that was like a furnace.

“Wow, Bronze VIII crocodiles, a group at that. I can test the effect of [Understanding · The Supreme Mother] and see if the branches of my Kabbalah Tree of Life can break through your defenses.”

Lin Sen crossed several mountain peaks and finally found a group of giant crocodiles about ten meters long in a freshwater lake.

He stopped and checked his interface——

Name: Storm Giant Crocodile

Level: Bronze VIII

Rank: Elite

Physical Body: 658 (+50)

Spirit: 368

Psionic Energy: 465

Skill: [Cold-Blooded]: Passive; ignores the cold. When body temperature is lower than the environmental temperature, physical body points +50.

[Intermediate Bite]: Active. When biting an enemy, consume 20 points of psionic energy and increase bite strength by 50%.

[Storm Breath]: Active; can spit out a corrosive breath up to 50 meters away.

[Intermediate Sharpness]: Passive; increases the sharpness of all parts of the body.

[Intermediate Crocodile Armor]: Passive; greatly increases defense. Without the [Advanced Sharpness] skill, this defense cannot be broken.

Compared to the Bronze IX Mortal Serpent whose rank was Lord, these crocodiles were inferior in all aspects.

But,

there was only one Mortal Serpent

while there were dozens of Storm Giant Crocodiles!

Besides,

their defense, looking solely at the description of the skills, was also slightly stronger than that of the Mortal Serpent.

If the Mortal Serpent were to fight this group of crocodiles one-on-one…

Most likely, the crocodiles would pay a heavy price to bite the serpent to death.

In the current Canaan region,

perhaps only a team of Silver Advanced professionals could be confident in defeating them?

Still.

“I, Lin Sen, am not a good person either!”

Lin Sen was not picky. He leaped out of the forest and jumped in the freshwater lake where the crocodiles were.

Roar——

The Storm Giant Crocodiles never thought that an insignificant human would take the initiative to enter their hunting ground.

Like sharks that caught the scent of blood, they opened their bloody mouths that were several meters long and bit at Lin Sen.

“An eye for an eye.

“When the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life obtains the hardness of your skin, who will be better in a head-on clash?”

Lin Sen didn’t know either.

But,

with his physical body points close to 1,500 points, he undoubtedly had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength.

Whether it was perseverance or a race to the breaking point,

he was invincible!

Lin Sen waved his hand casually, and a dozen thick branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life immediately extended out within a dozen meters.

Crack—

When the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life touched the hard armor of the Storm Crocodile, [Understanding · The Supreme Mother] was activated, and the branches immediately became as hard as the armor was.

Compared to the armor of the Storm Crocodile, the tips the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life was sharper and had extremely small force-bearing points.

With the support of Lin Sen’s nearly 1,500 points of strength,

the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life pierced into the head of one Storm Crocodile at the cost of shattering its tips!

“I won the gamble!”

Lin Sen’s eyes were filled with joy.

This meant that he was about to obtain a large amount of experience points!

Just as he was rejoicing…

a huge eye with a diameter of three meters suddenly opened from the bottom of the lake!
