Chapter 179: Dark Silk God and Black Howling Rock
Chen Xiran suddenly blushed at Lu Lin's encouragement, feeling too shy to speak.
In this battle, her only role was to continuously release Fire Snakes to light up the passageway.
Even when attacked by Gray Dwarves and Dark Silk Clan people, Fang Gang or Bai Buyi would help deal with them.
To put it bluntly, she was just a large flashlight.
But a flashlight has its function as a flashlight.
Lu Lin never hesitates to encourage the members of his team.
After all, everyone has their rookie moments.
Some people have amazing talent and can sweep through battles effortlessly.
Some need a little time to adapt.
At the very least, Chen Xiran dared to take action in battle and provide assistance to her teammates.
This is a good sign and deserves encouragement.
After resting for a few minutes, Lu Lin stood up, preparing to check on Liu Chang's whereabouts.
In fact, he didn't need to look to know that the other person had definitely run off again.
The main reason was that Lu Lin was tense during the fight, and once it ended, he relaxed and forgot about pursuing Liu Chang.
However, after taking just a few steps, Lu Lin suddenly stopped.
"Bai Buyi, you take everyone over first, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Bai Buyi knew what Lu Lin wanted to check, nodded, and led Fang Gang and Chen Xiran away.
The passage returned to darkness.
Fortunately, Lu Lin's perception was sharp, allowing him to see those corpses of the Dark Silk Clan on the ground in the dark.
The cold wind whooshed by, and it really did give off a bit of an eerie and creepy feeling.
Lu Lin kept his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the Dark Silk Clan corpses.
He wanted to see if they would disappear naturally like inside the cave.
Ever since coming into contact with the Kongming White Ape, Lu Lin always felt that certain incidents were caused by invisible people.
Previously in the cave, he hadn't found traces of Star Power left by the other, only because of their clever hiding techniques.
In this world, there are no ghosts or gods.
Lu Lin is a firm believer in materialism.
Shhh.
Shhh shhh.
A wind blew from nowhere, and Lu Lin sensed those Dark Silk people corpses on the ground gradually dissolving like sand grains.
It was as if they were being blown away by the wind.
Lu Lin boldly stepped forward a few paces, coming to the side of a half-dissolved Dark Silk corpse.
"Ah!"
Lu Lin shouted loudly.
Yet the wind kept blowing.
The disintegration of the Dark Silk corpse underfoot into sand grains only accelerated.
Lu Lin kicked the corpse away.
In his perception, even in mid-air, the wind could not be blocked from eroding it.
Turning it into sand grains and vanishing into nothing.
This...isn't scientific.
The Dark Silk alien corpse disappeared, its clothes too vanished, leaving only the beast tooth pendant around the neck unchanged, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Are you alright, team leader?"
Fang Gang's question suddenly came from the front.
"I'm fine."
Lu Lin answered deeply, then noticed another strange phenomenon.
Just now, he only focused on perceiving the Dark Silk people, and now, turning to look, the Gray Dwarves on the ground were completely unaffected by that eerie wind, with their bodies remaining intact.
If it weren't for his memory, Lu Lin would think that the opponents he battled earlier were just a dozen or so Gray Dwarves.
Gathering the fallen items on the ground, Lu Lin felt that he could find relevant clues from these things.
After walking a short distance, Lu Lin saw a larger cave.
This cave had many small pits dug into the walls, likely where the Gray Dwarves and Dark Silk Clan people usually rested.
The cave was littered with debris, along with altars and statues.
Evidently, the Dark Silk Clan and Gray Dwarves were worshiping some god, but Lu Lin and his group barged in and wiped them out.
"Bai Buyi, any discoveries?"
"Yes."
Bai Buyi picked up a statue from the ground and handed it to Lu Lin.
"Look, this is the god worshipped by the Dark Silk aliens—the Dark Silk God."
"In fact, in the Exotic Battlefield, races that worship gods aren't many. Humans only know of less than ten gods by name, including the Dark Silk God, The God of Black Shark, Hei Ming God, etc."
"These gods starting with the word 'black' have never appeared openly in human vision, but spread in a dark, covert manner."
"The Dark Silk God is a relatively common deity in the Exotic Battlefield, not only worshiped by the Dark Silk aliens but also numerous other alien races."
"By the way, did you discover anything just now, team leader?"
Lu Lin didn't speak but carefully examined the statue of the Dark Silk God in his hand.
The whole statue was as black as ink, with only two eyes showing a hint of white.
Eight arms, three heads, seated.
Looking into the eyes of the Dark Silk God, Lu Lin suddenly felt a little dizzy.
He immediately shook his head and looked at Bai Buyi nearby.
"What's wrong, team leader?"
"Did you see something?"
Bai Buyi quickly asked.
Hearing the voices, Fang Gang and Chen Xiran also hurried over to see Lu Lin.
"I'm fine."
"Just got a bit dizzy looking into the eyes of the statue."
Lu Lin waved his hand, temporarily steering the topic away.
"Guess what I just saw."
"The bodies of the Dark Silk Clan were blown away by a gust of wind, disappearing without a trace, while the bodies of the Gray Dwarves remained perfectly intact."
"Really? That's terrifying."
Fang Gang exclaimed.
Chen Xiran finally showed a hint of change, but then tugged at Lu Lin's sleeve, saying, "Captain, let's not talk about it."
"Alright, then let's not talk about it. Has anyone else found anything in here?"
Everyone understood what Lu Lin meant.
He was asking if there were any valuable items found in the cave.
"I have over thirty pieces of Black Howling Rock."
"I found some books but can't read them."
"I only discovered these statues and matching accessories."
The three of them took out the strange things they had found.
Black Howling Rock is a type of Howling Rock.
When this rock moves quickly, it emits a sharp and piercing sound.
The Human Federation had researched it, even grinding the Howling Rock into powder and adding it to some weapons.
When swinging the weapon, it emits the same piercing sound, which not only is unpleasant to hear but also has a certain degree of mental disruption, causing momentary dizziness.
Due to the scarcity of Howling Rock, weapons containing its powder are often more expensive than ordinary ones.
Yes, maybe about ten times more expensive.
Fang Gang found these Howling Rocks, while Chen Xiran discovered some books with mysterious runes. Although Lu Lin had a translation package for Demon Race language in his personal terminal, he couldn't use it now, so he put it away for later.
He flipped through a few pages, finding vast amounts of text not related to cultivation methods or Star Martial.
Bai Buyi found the statues and some accompanying accessories, which Lu Lin also put into his space ring.
After securing all the items, Lu Lin personally inspected the cave again to ensure there were no special items left behind, then set out to pursue Liu Chang.
Speaking of which, Liu Chang is really good at running.
Lu Lin didn't want to keep playing this endless chase game with him.
With all these bizarre events happening lately, Lu Lin felt they were beyond his ability to handle.
He decided to complete the mission quickly and return to Iron Blood University for school.
Following the arrow's guidance, Lu Lin climbed out from a pile of chaotic rocks.
At this moment, the Exotic Battlefield had also entered nighttime.
A star belt hung above, emitting white light.
Lu Lin was not interested in finding out whether the Exotic Battlefield was a planet or some unknown place.
"Awooo—"
A wolf's howl echoed behind Lu Lin.
Lu Lin quickly turned around.
He saw over a dozen wild wolves with green-glowing eyes growling less than ten steps away from him.
Green-eyed Mad Wolves?
Lu Lin recalled having eaten Green-eyed Mad Wolf meat at Jinchao Barbecue; it was quite good.
He hadn't anticipated meeting them here.
Patting his stomach, he felt a bit hungry.
Spending the first night on the Exotic Battlefield eating freshly killed and grilled Green-eyed Mad Wolf meat sounded appealing.
Lu Lin thought this decision was quite good and, without waiting for Fang Gang to catch up, charged at the wolf pack with his broken knife.
In his perception, these wolf packs were only at Level 2 or Level 3, which made them easy prey.
Lu Lin enjoyed easy prey.
It brought him a certain thrill, allowing him to freely revel in the joys of battle.
Moreover, he wouldn't face danger due to the enemy's overwhelming strength.
Recalling his experiences in the dodgeball training room, Lu Lin didn't want to go through that again.
Too exhausting.
The Green-eyed Mad Wolves didn't expect the human without a trace of Star Power before them to be so daring. Annoyed and embarrassed, they charged at Lu Lin with hoarse howls.
Seize the Gap.
Inch Step.
Seize the Gap.
Inch Step.
Lu Lin battled the wolf pack with his knife alone.
For Fang Gang, who had just crawled out of the cave entrance, it had a peculiar beauty.
Had the personal terminal been usable on the Exotic Battlefield, he would have wanted to take a photo of Lu Lin right now.
"Captain, leave me a couple!"
Fang Gang shouted and hurried over.
Hearing the voice, Lu Lin paused for a moment.
He put away the broken knife and relied solely on his Inch Step technique to dodge left and right, occasionally throwing a punch when a good opportunity arose.
"Captain, let me join!"
After a day of fighting, Chen Xiran had also changed a bit.
Seeing Lu Lin and Fang Gang fighting so easily, she felt an itch to join.
However, Chen Xiran didn't charge directly; instead, she conjured up a Fire Snake and directed it to attack the wolf pack.
When Bai Buyi crawled out from the passage, the dozen-plus Green-eyed Mad Wolves hadn't escaped; all were lying on the ground.
"Mr. Bai, let's taste your cooking tonight."
"We've got the ingredients ready for you."
Lu Lin laughed and said.
Bai Buyi gave a helpless smile, "Alright, I'm on it. But..."
Bai Buyi's gaze rested on Chen Xiran, "But I need Xiran to help clean the ingredients."
"Huh?"
Chen Xiran's face turned pale instantly.
