107: Chapter 107 Strange Creatures!

Inside the Core Zone.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings in shock.

The spatial distortion here was even more severe!

Countless glowing energy crystals floated in the sky.

They emitted an enticing aura.

Fissures were everywhere on the ground, with eerie energy surging within them.

Gravity fluctuated in strength, causing extreme discomfort.

"This place... is so eerie..."

Ye Qingxue spoke calmly, but a flicker of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Luo Qinghan's expression was grave: "Be careful, these energy crystals might be traps."

"Intelligence indicates we shouldn't touch them lightly."

Lin Yuan used Crisis Insight and instantly sensed a large number of powerful auras hidden nearby!

A-Rank Evolved Beasts!

And the number... at least twenty or more!

His heart skipped a beat.

As expected of a Reborn Person, Luo Qinghan's intelligence was indeed accurate!

"Careful, there's a large number of A-Rank Evolved Beasts around us."

Lin Yuan said in a low voice.

Luo Qinghan's gaze narrowed: "How do you know?"

Lin Yuan said indifferently: "Perception Superpower."

Luo Qinghan was shaken.

This man...

Actually has a Perception Superpower too?

And she was completely unable to detect it, which showed that Lin Yuan's Spiritual Power definitely surpassed hers!

Just how many Superpowers does he have?!

But Luo Qinghan wasn't given time to think.

A roar interrupted her thoughts.

"Roar—!"

Deafening roars came from all directions!

More than twenty terrifying monsters charged out from the darkness!

There were fleshy monsters covered in eyeballs that constantly dripped blood!

There were Skeletal Behemoths pieced together from countless white bones, emitting the aura of death!

There were octopus-like monsters with over a dozen tentacles.

At the end of each tentacle was a sharp blade!

There were also eerie creatures with transparent bodies and clearly visible internal organs that constantly made the sound of a baby crying!

Every single one emitted a terrifying aura!

Lin Yuan's brow furrowed tightly.

These monsters...

Were even more eerie and terrifying than the ones they had just encountered!

Especially that transparent creature making the baby crying sound; it made one's scalp tingle!

Ye Qingxue's gaze was solemn:

"These things... are truly disgusting."

Although she was used to bloodshed, these distorted creatures still made her feel uneasy.

Luo Qinghan, however, remained calm and said indifferently:

"The monsters in the Core Zone are all like this."

"Damn it! So many?!"

Her expression changed.

Being besieged by more than twenty A-Rank Evolved Beasts at once...

Even she felt immense pressure!

"Back to back! Don't get separated!"

Lin Yuan commanded calmly.

The three of them immediately stood back to back, forming a defensive formation.

Lin Yuan was the first to strike!

Mental Control Ability instantly erupted!

The surrounding rubble, ruins, and rebar were instantly manipulated by invisible Spiritual Power!

Dozens of massive rocks and sharp rebar pieces blasted toward the twenty-plus A-Rank Evolved Beasts like cannonballs and spears!

"Boom boom boom—!"

Rocks and rebar smashed down at terrifying speeds, battering the Evolved Beasts into a bloody mess and slowing their movements!

"Now!"

A flash of killing intent crossed Ye Qingxue's eyes.

She raised her hand, and her S-Rank Shadow Ability instantly erupted!

Endless darkness surged from behind her, opening like a giant maw from the abyss, transforming into a domain of death!

The darkness writhed like a living thing, instantly swallowing ten A-Rank Evolved Beasts!

"Awoo—!"

Shrill screams rang out.

Luo Qinghan also stopped holding back.

Terrifying lightning erupted from her body!

Purple thunder roared like an angry dragon, instantly blasting toward the remaining Evolved Beasts!

"Rumble—!"

The thunderous strike instantly killed five A-Rank Evolved Beasts!

But five more broke through the defensive line!

Luo Qinghan's gaze turned cold, and her B-Rank Space Ability instantly erupted!

Invisible Spatial Power, like countless sharp blades, instantly sliced through three Evolved Beasts!

Their bodies were instantly cut in half!

Lin Yuan also made his move.

He clenched his fingers, and his D-Rank Forest Realm Control Superpower activated!

The ground cracked open, and countless Vines drilled out from underground!

The Vines coiled around the last two Evolved Beasts like venomous snakes, then constricted with force!

"Crack—!"

The two A-Rank Evolved Beasts were instantly strangled to death!

The battle ended.

All three had consumed a great deal of energy and were panting heavily.

Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Yuan and Ye Qingxue in shock.

These two...

Their coordination was too perfect!

And their combat power...

Was truly too strong!

Especially Lin Yuan!

His A-Rank Mental Control Ability had simultaneously controlled dozens of rocks and rebar to attack over twenty A-Rank Evolved Beasts!

That kind of precise control, that kind of terrifying destructive power...

Lin Yuan smiled, as if seeing through Luo Qinghan's thoughts: "Your Space Ability is very impressive."

Luo Qinghan's eyes flickered.

This man...

Seemed to have seen through all of her Superpowers.

But he didn't ask further, which surprised her slightly.

Could it be...

That he wasn't curious about why she had so many Superpowers?

Luo Qinghan was puzzled, but she didn't say anything more.

"Let's keep moving."

Lin Yuan said.

The three continued deeper into the Core Zone.

Along the way, there were traces of battle everywhere.

Shattered rocks, scorched earth, and scattered evolution cores.

Clearly, intense battles had taken place here.

"Intelligence shows that the Location of the Opportunity is just ahead."

Luo Qinghan said cautiously.

"But it's also the most dangerous place."

Lin Yuan nodded.

After walking for another ten minutes.

The three finally saw the center of the Core Zone.

It was a massive altar!

The altar was entirely black, its surface covered in eerie runes.

The runes emitted a faint glow, writhing as if they were alive.

And in the center of the altar...

Three treasures were floating!

The first was a seven-colored divine fruit!

It was completely different from the seven-colored fruit Lin Yuan had obtained before; its seven-colored glow was even more dazzling.

The fruit's structure was more beautiful, and its fragrance was mouth-watering.

The second was a space ring!

The ring was silver-white, its surface carved with spatial runes, emitting strong spatial fluctuations.

The third was a mysterious scroll!

The scroll was ancient and weathered, its surface covered in archaic characters, emitting a mysterious aura.

When Luo Qinghan saw these three treasures, her eyes instantly lit up!

"That's them!"

She said excitedly.

"The heaven-defying treasures recorded in the intelligence!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.

Ye Qingxue also looked at the treasures, a hint of desire flashing in her eyes.

But she was more concerned about Lin Yuan's safety.

"Be careful, there might be traps here."

She said softly.

Lin Yuan nodded.

He used B-Class Crisis Insight to carefully sense the surroundings.

Suddenly!

Crisis Insight gave a frantic warning!

Danger!

Extreme danger!

"Wait! Something is coming out!"

Lin Yuan's expression changed.

No sooner had he spoken.

"Rumble—!"

The entire altar began to vibrate violently!

The ground split open, and countless cracks spread out!

A terrifying pressure emanated from underground!

Luo Qinghan's face changed drastically, and she blurted out:

"This isn't right! This aura... compared to my previous life—"

She immediately realized she had let something slip and urgently changed her tune:

"It's stronger than what was recorded in the intelligence!"

"The intelligence showed the guardian beast was S-Rank, but this feels like much more than that!"

A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

She slipped up again?

However... he pretended not to notice.

He remained calm on the surface, but his mind was racing for a countermeasure.

This pressure...

Was indeed very strong!

Ye Qingxue walked to Lin Yuan's side and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No matter how dangerous it is, I will protect you."

She said in a low voice, her eyes filled with an intense love that couldn't be hidden.

Lin Yuan felt Ye Qingxue's deep affection, and his heart was slightly touched.

"I know."

He said softly, taking Ye Qingxue's hand.

Luo Qinghan watched this coldly, her heart scoffing at such emotions.

Sentimental feelings.

In the Apocalypse, such emotions would only become a burden.

"Boom—!"

The altar's vibrations became more and more violent!

The terrifying existence beneath the ground seemed about to awaken!

Luo Qinghan gritted her teeth and said:

"We have to make a choice!"

"Either we retreat immediately to save our lives!"

"Or we risk everything to seize the treasures, but we might die!"

Lin Yuan looked at the treasures on the altar, his gaze firm.

"We've already come this far."

"Leaving without taking anything?"

"That would be too much of a loss."

Ye Qingxue stood by Lin Yuan without hesitation:

"I'll follow your lead."

Luo Qinghan gritted her teeth: "You guys are crazy!"

"That thing is definitely not something we can handle!"

She was anxious inside.

But seeing Lin Yuan's determined gaze...

She suddenly had a strange feeling.

Perhaps...

Following this man really could create a miracle?

"Fine! I'll be crazy with you this once!"

Luo Qinghan said, gritting her teeth.

A smile curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.

"Then... let's begin!"

The three of them stood ready.
