498: Chapter 498 Deceiving and Fishing

Seeing this, several alien beings charged into the large hole where Nie Ning had fallen.

Accompanied by a violent surge of energy, the underground suddenly became incomparably calm.

The several Long-armed Humans in the air exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a trace of solemnity.

Just as they were preparing to go down and check the situation, they saw one of their kin flying up while carrying a person.

Seeing this scene, how could the others not understand what was happening?

But just as they wanted to go up to investigate, they saw their kin point towards the distant battlefield, and then point to the Long-armed Human leaning on his shoulder.

Without a word, the others understood tacitly and quickly moved to support the other battlefields.

Seeing the others leave, the Long-armed Human couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Sigh, it's really hard to get by these days without a few tricks up your sleeve."

The Long-armed Human looked at the corpse slung over his shoulder, but the voice that came from his mouth was Nie Ning's own mutterings.

Shapeshifting!

A trait that Nie Ning had almost forgotten.

Because he couldn't achieve a full-body transformation, only able to change into things like a cat's head, Nie Ning rarely used this ability.

However, although he couldn't perform a full cross-species transformation, turning into a creature that was also humanoid posed no problem.

Combined with his Sacred Rune Armament and his extraordinary adaptability to world energy, it was difficult for ordinary creatures to notice anything different about him.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to pass the hurdle of the world energy's influence.

Because any creature from another world would exhibit an inexplicable sense of discordance upon arriving in a new world; even if they looked exactly the same, other Transcendent beings could still spot the clues.

Nie Ning looked around and saw many high-level creatures from other worlds.

Although walking that way would be safer, there was also a high probability that he would be exposed.

After observing for two breaths of time, Nie Ning flew towards a few unlucky souls being chased by alien beings.

Of course, he certainly wasn't going to save anyone.

After all, he still had a wife and children; dying here definitely wouldn't be worth it.

Immediately, Nie Ning, carrying the 'injured' Long-armed Human, deliberately helped chase after the fleeing Belvis Transcendents.

Before long, Nie Ning was beaten until he was covered in injuries.

In order to prevent his super-speed self-healing from taking effect, Nie Ning even utilized the properties of corrosive power to clash with the elements, preventing his wounds from healing.

Then, dragging his 'severely injured' body, he slowly moved toward the periphery.

Besides that, Nie Ning carefully observed how those alien beings spoke and attempted to communicate in their language.

Although it was a bit rusty and his tone was strange while speaking, he managed to barely fool those alien beings.

Once he reached the edge, Nie Ning gritted his teeth and punched himself in the throat, so that no one would pay attention to the sound of his voice.

After doing all this, Nie Ning didn't flee directly; instead, he pretended to be severely injured and began to observe the situation from the side.

If anyone from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace or the Yin-Yang Sect appeared, Nie Ning would even take the initiative to help.

Although it was the kind where he put in effort without actually contributing...

After all that fuss, he hadn't caught a single person, and had even taken the time to let a few go.

The others saw that Nie Ning was severely injured and couldn't say much.

After all, everyone was on the same side in this battle, and since he was already so severely injured, it would be a bit inappropriate to criticize him.

In this way, Nie Ning successfully made the acquaintance of some alien beings.

After all, this was where they had descended, and the next time the portal opened, it would certainly be in this same place.

When that time came, even if the defenses were tight, perhaps he could stay in the vicinity to act as a contact, making it easier to escape.

Anyway, it was impossible for him to stay here forever.

Belvis World was, after all, a high-level world; its resources simply couldn't be compared to these small places.

Unless he could find this world's World Tree and some rather special heaven-sent treasures.

Other than that, only the life energy here made him feel a bit comfortable, but that was not irreplaceable.

...

The subsequent battle didn't have many ripples; with the assistance of the meteors, it was almost one-sided.

However, the losses on both sides of the Yin-Yang Sect and the Extreme Phase Demon Palace were not large.

After this round of battle, out of a group of about two thousand people, the death toll was only around four hundred.

Yes, just that many.

I have to say, even Nie Ning was dazzled.

This bunch couldn't do anything right, but their escape skills were slipping one after another.

After fighting for a long time, most of the deceased Belvis humans were still killed by the meteors, and the rest were those forced to stay behind after being ganged up on.

As for those who escaped, although everyone had some injuries, they had managed to save their lives.

Take Garcia, for example; he was worthy of being a student of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace Master, cutting a bloody path to escape and even slaughtering a seventh-order energy-level creature from another world along the way.

Immediately after, Nie Ning saw three seventh-order creatures chasing after him.

As for whether he was dead or alive now, Nie Ning didn't know, and anyway, he didn't have the guts to go and see.

Let alone the alien creatures, if he got hit by Garcia, he wouldn't be able to take it either, and if he were beaten back into his original form, that would be truly miserable.

Besides Garcia, Nie Ning also saw quite a few tough guys, among them the Yin-Yang Dao Envoy whom Nie Ning had peeked at twice.

Nie Ning never expected that the other party was actually a Bloodline Wizard possessing the bloodline of a Flame Dragon.

Moreover, the bloodline concentration was ridiculously high, having reached the level of transforming into a full-form Flame Dragon.

Let alone seventh-order Transcendent creatures, even when fighting an eighth-order creature alongside the Yin-Yang Sect's Wizard Claude, it blasted the creature with a single breath of dragon fire, leaving it disoriented, and finally grabbed Wizard Claude and left the battlefield.

Nie Ning didn't see Wizard Lapu.

Aside from seeing intense elemental fluctuations in the clouds, neither Wizard Lapu nor the Leisi Sacred Beast revealed their figures.

In the end, perhaps the Leisi Sacred Beast won, dragging its severely injured body away with the young Leisi Sacred Beast.

...

The battle didn't last very long; from beginning to end, it was over in less than two hours.

Nie Ning secretly mingled among the alien beings to help collect the corpses of the dead.

Even this was something Nie Ning had fought hard for.

Because the injuries he had caused himself were so severe, other alien beings told him to go to the side and rest.

Fortunately, Nie Ning had some acting talent; with teary eyes, he recounted his tragic experience and how his wife was also missing, which barely allowed him to go over to search for his wife.

Of course, looking for his wife was a lie; those dead creatures from other worlds were his real goal.

I have to say, this wave was much more satisfying than in Belvis World.

After all that fuss, Nie Ning hadn't done anything, yet he had managed to get a lot of blood from creatures from other worlds.

According to Nie Ning's plan, with the help of these alien creature genes, even if they couldn't enhance his strength, they would allow him to use those genes to conceal his aura.

Reducing the chance of being exposed by the strong experts of this world.

Nie Ning's current strategy was to just lie low and wait for the Extreme Phase Demon Palace to send people to rescue him; as for other matters, they could wait.
