Chapter 472: 271, Burst Kill Epic Level Alien! New Achievement: Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis!

In the dense forest.

Lin Zichen didn’t dare to pause for a second, running wildly with Shen Qinghan to distance themselves from Su Jiujie as quickly as possible.

However, they hadn’t run far when several notification messages emerged in the void deep within his mind.

[You have encountered a distressed Alien Races Fox Woman who has repeatedly sought your courtship, wishing to embark on the Evolution Path with you and evolve into a higher-level being, satisfying the conditions for Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis.]

[Achievement: Live under the same roof as an alien species for a year, during which mutual benefits and joint evolution must occur.]

[Reward: Gain the Biometric Attributes — Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis]

[Total Time Lived Together: 0/366 days]

Lin Zichen glanced at the content of these notifications and felt quite surprised.

It had been a long time since he’d triggered a new achievement task, and he hadn’t expected to do so under the current circumstances.

“The Biometric Attributes rewarded by the system are much more powerful than those obtained from opening the atlas; the effect of this [Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis] will definitely be impressive,” he thought.

“So… should I turn back to rescue the Fox Woman and complete this freshly-assigned achievement task to obtain the system-generated Biometric Attributes [Mutually Beneficial Symbiosis]?”

Lin Zichen felt a surge of indecision within.

The Biometric Attributes produced by the system were extremely powerful, tempting him greatly.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether he should take the risk to return and rescue Su Jiujie.

His hesitation lasted less than two seconds before it ended.

Lin Zichen made his decision, to temporarily give up on the new achievement task.

Achievements could be completed any time; there was no need to take today’s risk.

Just as he made this decision,

Lin Zichen’s expression changed as he sensed a powerful presence near the stream where Su Jiujie was.

Concentrating his spiritual power, the next second an image of a man shrouded in dark aura appeared in his mind.

An Alien from the Land of Oblivion.

With a Biological Level that’s extremely high.

An Epic Level One.

“Just Epic Level One?”

Having ascertained the man’s Biological Level, Lin Zichen stopped in his tracks, contemplating taking the risk.

His current Biological Level was a Rare Ninth Order, just one level below the man’s, and with a multitude of Biometric Attributes enhancing him, he would likely be able to easily overpower the man without a hitch.

“Lin Zi, why have we suddenly stopped?”

Seeing Lin Zichen halt, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but voice her confusion.

Then, without waiting for Lin Zichen’s reply, she added, “Are you thinking of going back to rescue the Fox Woman?”

“That’s one idea.”

Lin Zichen answered candidly.

He disliked deceiving Shen Qinghan and usually spoke his mind without much reservation.

“If that’s what you’re thinking, then let’s go back and save her.”

After speaking, Shen Qinghan continued, “Although the Fox Woman is a creature from the Origin Land, she holds no ill will towards us.”

“Moreover, when we were attacked by the Divine Plant Cult in Shanhai City, she lent us a hand.”

“Now that she is in trouble, if we can help her, we definitely should.”

Shen Qinghan spoke sincerely, not pretending to be magnanimous in front of Lin Zichen.

Even though Su Jiujie had designs on Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan didn’t believe she could sway him at all and wasn’t worried that going back to rescue Su Jiujie would lead to letting a fox into the henhouse.

Seeing that Shen Qinghan didn’t mind, Lin Zichen didn’t dawdle and immediately rushed with her toward the stream.

On the way,

Lin Zichen, wanting to ensure nothing went wrong, decisively sacrificed his Essence Blood to elevate his Qi Blood Strength and Spiritual Strength to their maximums.

He aimed to confront the Alien from the Land of Oblivion, whose Biological Level was an impressive Epic Level One, in his strongest form.

…

By the babbling brook,

Su Jiujie struggled to her feet, her gaze fixed on the man before her as she furrowed her brows, devising a way to escape.

However, no matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t think of any feasible plan.

Moments later, a sense of despair swelled within her, casting her expression ashen.

The man enveloped in dark aura, seeing the look of despair on her face, couldn’t help but laugh and said,

“Frowning so deeply, have you reached the limit of your ability to flee by abandoning your tail?”

“To be honest, you don’t look as charming when you frown.”

“But no matter, once I refine you into a Yin Corpse, I’ll make sure you always wear a smile, eternally beautiful.”

“…”

Always wearing a smile…

Su Jiujie couldn’t imagine that a corpse eternally grinning would be beautiful; it would only seem creepy to her.

“Enough talk, come into my Corpse Nurturing Banner and become a beautiful Yin Corpse!”

As he finished speaking, a pitch-dark banner appeared out of nowhere in his hand, which he then gently flicked towards Su Jiujie.

In an instant, a swath of thick black aura flew from the banner, transforming into shrieking Yin Spirits that rushed towards Su Jiujie at the speed of lightning.

At that moment, Su Jiujie’s Qi-Blood and Spirit had nearly depleted; she hadn’t the strength to stand up and evade and could only watch as a horrifying swarm of Yin Spirits enveloped her.

Just when the Yin Spirits were about to devour her flesh——

“Hum!”

A deafening sound of tearing through the air struck.

At the sound, a wave of Blood Qi Power so dense it nearly condensed into droplets rushed from afar at an indiscernible speed, instantly scattering the myriad Yin Spirits into nothingness.

“Who is it?!”

The man was shocked, whirling around to look in the direction from where the Blood Qi Power had come, his face filled with terror.

This Blood Qi Power, capable of instantly dispersing the Yin Spirits from his Corpse Nurturing Banner, had to be at least of Epic level.

Moreover, until now, he had been unable to detect the presence of the owner of that Blood Qi Power, not a trace of their energy could be sensed.
