Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chen Xiran's face was flushed with embarrassment as she looked at Lu Lin, Fang Gang, and others who came to rescue her.

She lowered her head, constantly fidgeting with the corner of her clothes.

"I'm, I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"Xiran, did someone run out just now?"

Lu Lin asked.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiran nodded.

Shortly after Lu Lin and the others went inside, a person sneaked out of the cave.

Seeing Chen Xiran, that person was momentarily stunned.

Chen Xiran remembered Lu Lin's words and if anyone ran out, she would use Fire Star Skills without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, that person was also a Water Attribute Martial Artist.

Facing Chen Xiran's attack, the person was unflustered.

While dodging, he kept approaching the cave entrance.

Chen Xiran was anxious and directly went with a fiery attack.

However, due to the urgency, she didn't have time to use Volcano, and her Star Power quickly depleted.

Meanwhile, the person fought smartly.

After dodging for a while and seeing Chen Xiran's Star Power waning, he quickly dashed out of the cave without entangling with Chen Xiran, then ran swiftly into the mountains.

Chen Xiran knew the urgency and wanted to chase after him.

But at that moment, a small swarm of flame beetles suddenly appeared.

And so, it led to the scene Lu Lin had just witnessed upon coming out.

To drive away the flame beetles, Chen Xiran allowed Liu Chang to escape.

Lu Lin sighed, unsure of what to say.

To blame Chen Xiran?

She actually did quite well.

It was just that her Star Power couldn't keep up, letting the opponent seize the opportunity.

To praise her?

That wasn't possible either.

Chen Xiran was in charge of guarding the cave entrance and let the criminal go; how could Lu Lin commend that?

"Alright, let's head back and deal with those Dark Silk Clan people first."

Lu Lin, confident with his Guiding Star Skill, was sure he could find Liu Chang no matter where he ran.

Although this would extend the task's duration, there was no other choice.

Bai Buyi and Fang Gang both nodded, and the group returned to the cave, only to discover that the corpses of the dead Dark Silk Clan people...

had all disappeared.

Even the Dark Silk that was strewn around had vanished.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Team, team leader, could it be that there's a group of people following us?"

Fang Gang instinctively shivered.

Bai Buyi walked to the combat spot and inspected it carefully, but found nothing.

Lu Lin also activated his Perception skill, meticulously exploring the surrounding atmosphere and Star Power fluctuations.

Except for the marks of the battle, no other scents or Star Power traces were left here.

"Everyone, let's leave here and continue tracking Liu Chang."

The group felt uneasy, and upon realizing what had happened, Chen Xiran couldn't stop shaking.

"Leader, maybe we should go back."

"I'm a bit, afraid, scared."

Chen Xiran said, trembling.

She felt that this mission was far more terrifying than last time with the school teacher.

After all, during the last time, there hadn't been instances of the Dark Silk Clan people's corpses mysteriously disappearing.

"It's normal to be scared."

"It's not just you; even I feel a bit scared."

Lu Lin said with a smile.

"But in the Exotic Battlefield, there's inherently endless danger; will you be scared of this and then scared of that?"

"Quit?"

Lu Lin shook his head and patted Chen Xiran's shoulder: "Don't overthink; whether you're scared or not, it's still a day."

"Starlight Mountain isn't far from Food God City; the truly large exotic beasts here have long been cleared or driven away, and even if there are random Alien Races, they won't be too strong."

"Alright, let's treat it as a trip out."

After saying this, Lu Lin took the lead to walk ahead.

Compared to the morning's unfamiliar trek through the jungle, he was now accustomed to the environment of Starlight Mountain.

The broken knife in his hand gave him a sense of security.

The Guiding Star Skill pointed him in the direction.

Bai Buyi watched Lu Lin from behind, wholeheartedly approving.

If Lu Lin didn't have so many secrets, Bai Buyi would be more than willing to follow such a reliable and constantly growing team leader.

Fang Gang didn't dwell on such thoughts; as he walked, his eyes constantly surveyed the surrounding flora.

In the morning, he had noticed several plants in Starlight Mountain that could be used in elixirs but hadn't had time to pick them.

Now that Lu Lin said there was no rush, Fang Gang would occasionally stop to gather some plants.

Seeing Lu Lin's curious eyes, Fang Gang even explained the uses of various plants.

In the Exotic Battlefield where Star Power is abundant, almost all the plants here have some special effects.

Some can regenerate, some release poison, and some use hunting for sustenance...

During the federation's thousand-year Star Power Potion exploration, it was also a process of understanding Exotic plants.

Various plants played their respective roles within the federation.

Some varieties have even been introduced into the federation for cultivation, with many unique Exotic Battlefield plants appearing in vegetable markets on major planets.

Suddenly, Lu Lin halted his steps.

The arrow in front of him suddenly changed direction.

Pointing directly to underground.

Underground?

According to the task's description, Liu Chang's skills are Water Attribute; how could he go underground?

Could it be an Underground River?

Lu Lin crouched down, listening through the thick soil.

He indeed heard the sound of flowing water.

"Let's go, over here."

Lu Lin led the run, and the team members hurriedly followed.

After running for about two minutes, without Lu Lin having to crouch again, everyone could hear the sound of flowing water.

"This river has a section that goes underground, and Liu Chang might be hiding within."

"Everyone, grab your weapons and get into the water."

Star Core Warriors are physically strong, unafraid of extreme temperatures, so entering the water is naturally no problem.

Even Chen Xiran said nothing, obediently handing the other items she carried to Lu Lin, and jumping into the water with only a knife.

"Let's go."

Lu Lin called out and was the first to dive underwater.

After traveling underwater for about half an hour, they finally discovered an entrance.

A portion of the river water flowed underground through the entrance, while more surged along the riverbed.

Holding their breath, Lu Lin and the others squeezed through the entrance, revealing a passageway with significant elevation differences.

The river water flowed through lower parts while the higher grounds on both sides offered a path.

Lu Lin observed that the uneven terrain was not naturally formed, but excavated by human effort.

This wouldn't be Liu Chang's temporary hiding place.

"Everyone, be careful."

"Chen Xiran, help everyone dry their clothes."

"Okay."

Chen Xiran finally felt she could be of some use.

She displayed her Scorching Star Skill, drying everyone's clothes and shoes.

"Wait, everyone be cautious, we might encounter combat at any moment."

"Bai Buyi, you guard the rear, Fang Gang, you follow me, Chen Xiran after Fang Gang."

"Proceed."

Lu Lin expanded his Perception to the maximum, leading everyone forward along the higher grounds.

"Stay low."

Even in places with no light at all, Lu Lin could sense the obstacles ahead.

He had a feeling that he was not far from where Liu Chang was hiding.

After continuing forward for over ten minutes, Lu Lin saw a faint firelight.

"Quiet."

"Bai Buyi, send your white mouse ahead to scout."

Bai Buyi nodded, summoning a white mouse with his hand.

But at this moment, it seemed like the creatures ahead detected the Star Power Fluctuation here, suddenly roaring and charging towards Lu Lin and his team.

"Whoever dares intrude, kill them all."

"Be careful, could it be..."

"No, shut up, they are all dead, dead!"

Chaotic noises came through, Lu Lin sensed a group of humanoid creatures slowly approaching.

It was pitch black here, and he couldn't see their appearances.

"Who dares to come to my Dark Silk Clan's Danfeng Tribe, please reveal yourself."

Dark Silk Clan?

It's the Dark Silk Clan again!

In Lu Lin's perception, the other side was bustling with no fewer than forty or fifty people.

Fortunately, their abilities were not very strong, the strongest was only about Level 2.

It seemed like they were from the same tribe as the Dark Silk Clan encountered in the cave just now.

All the tribe warriors had died, how could such a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled survive in this dangerous Exotic Battlefield?

Lu Lin decided to lend them a hand.

"Prepare for battle."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Lin charged out fiercely.

With a broken knife in hand, he slashed at anyone he saw.

Fang Gang followed closely, using the river water underground next to them to form waves, attacking those Dark Silk Clan people.

Bai Buyi raised his hand and released the Dread Lion, Earth Python, and Black-striped White Tiger, plunging into the crowd and causing a bloody massacre.

Humans and Alien Race cannot coexist, killing is a must.

If you don't kill the Alien Race when you have the advantage, the Alien Race will kill you in turn.

This is the first rule of survival on the Exotic Battlefield.

"Ah—"

"Wah—"

All kinds of screams and cries reached Lu Lin's ears.

Watching as her three teammates had already charged ahead, Chen Xiran nervously closed her eyes.

It's happening again, the scene from the last training session with the teacher reappeared.

Everyone was killing, and only she shrank back.

"Chen Xiran, what are you doing, quickly light a fire!"

Lu Lin shouted amidst the crowd.

This dark environment made no difference for him, but Fang Gang and Bai Buyi could only rely on their feelings.

Previously, they were in stealth mode and couldn't use strong flashlights.

Now that fighting has ensued, what is Chen Xiran still standing there dazed for?

"Oh, okay."

Chen Xiran agreed, raising her hand to release a Fire Snake.

Once the Fire Snake appeared, it immediately illuminated the passageway brightly.

Lu Lin then saw that these Dark Silk Clan people emerged from a cave not far away.

Moreover, among the crowd were not only Dark Silk Clan but also other races.

A kind of short-statured dwarf with gray-black skin.

These dwarves could not be compared with the old, weak, sick, and disabled of the Dark Silk Clan; they were tremendously powerful, armed with large stones attacking Lu Lin and his team.

However, the suddenly appearing Fire Snake made these dwarves see a burst of light in their eyes and temporarily unable to see.

Lu Lin quickly maneuvered over and killed all these dwarves.

Constantly, Star Power and Life Force entered Lu Lin's body.

Once accumulated to a certain degree, Lu Lin would gather these Star Powers at the Bai Acupoint on his feet, then kick all the Alien Race away.

The three battle-type exotic beasts summoned by Bai Buyi have also played a significant role at this time.

Upon seeing the enemy at first glance, they opened their mouths wide and attacked the Dark Silk Clan and dwarves wildly.

Ten minutes later, after Lu Lin killed the last Dark Silk Clan person, he finally sat down heavily.

Never thought that killing could be so exhausting.

The key during combat was to carefully monitor and ensure no Dark Silk Clan member would trap him using some Dark Silk World.

Fortunately, until all the Dark Silk Clan were completely dead, the situation Lu Lin feared never occurred.

"Xi Ran, this time, you did well."

Lu Lin praised Chen Xiran.
