Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Flame North Pole (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

For Dongfang Jun’s proposal, Lin Zhen expressed his gratitude. However, he didn’t want to rely on anyone for now. In his rebirth, he knew that only his own strength was reliable. Relying on others would probably not end well, and that wasn’t Lin Zhen’s nature.

“Thank you, Brother Dongfang, but I have decided to try my luck,” Lin Zhen said.

“Well, then. I knew you might not agree, but you must be careful. If you have nowhere else to go, you can look for the Ice Palace near the Polar Region. That is Luo Yun’s territory, and I am there too,” Dongfang Jun advised.

“Alright, I think I’ll go there,” Lin Zhen replied.

“Hmm, if you’re going to the North Pole first, you must be careful of Arthur’s people. The North Pole is his sphere of influence, and according to what you’ve said, the people of the Gods Clan may know Arthur and possibly inform him to deal with you. Everyone here has walkie-talkies,” Dongfang Jun warned.

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement.

At this time, a walkie-talkie at Dongfang Jun’s waist rang. Someone on the other side said, “Dongfang, have you rested enough? If you have, let’s get ready to leave. Today, we should try to kill that Ice Centipede. We’re waiting for you.” “Alright, got it. I’m coming,” Dongfang Jun responded.

Dongfang Jun put away his walkie-talkie and said goodbye to Lin Zhen. “Be careful. If you really can’t go on, remember to come to the Ice Palace to find me.”

A layer of fiery red armor appeared on Dongfang Jun, and he flew away low in the southward direction, gradually disappearing from view.

After Dongfang Jun left, Lin Zhen immediately made his own plan for the second layer of the Star Realm.

He would first go to the North Pole area to collect at least three Flame Hearts, then head to the Polar Region and pass through the third layer from there.

As for challenging the experts on the Star List, Lin Zhen knew that he couldn’t do it yet. But he wasn’t in a hurry. He still had plenty of time to cultivate.

Having sorted everything out, Lin Zhen headed towards the Northern Region.

Xiao Nuan appeared from somewhere, following Lin Zhen happily.

As they traveled further northward, the temperature gradually rose.

The lush greenery in the central region was no longer visible, replaced by a dry and hot desert. The temperature here exceeded fifty degrees Celsius.

As they ventured deeper into the desert, temperatures rose even higher. When they reached the edge of the desert, the exposed black rocks were very hot.

“Phew! It’s so hot; it’s time to release some cold air,” Lin Zhen said.

Lin Zhen allowed the cold air inside his equipment to leak out slightly, creating a layer of white mist around his body that blocked the scorching heat.

The rocks beneath their feet gradually turned dark red. Xiao Nuan happily jumped around on them. While Lin Zhen was afraid of the heat, Xiao Nuan was not. As a Galaxy Beast with a fire element, it could even swim in magma.

The surrounding temperature gradually exceeded one hundred degrees. While moving forward, several red mutated beasts suddenly emerged from the cracks between the rocks ahead!

Each was about the size of a tiger, with small eyes and sharp teeth. Although they were sneaky, they exuded a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

“S-level Mutated Beast – Fire Fierce Rat!” Lin Zhen had learned about the situation in the second layer and knew that these were the lowest-level mutated beasts in the North Pole area – the Fire Fierce Rats.

These so-called Fire Fierce Rats were only a type of rat but didn’t belong to the species on Earth, having lived in hot regions for a long time.

In the second layer, the lowest-level creatures were also S-level. In other words, danger lurked everywhere. Facing these five S-level giant rats, Lin Zhen didn’t underestimate them. After all, these creatures didn’t belong to Earth, and it was always better to be cautious.

The rats spotted Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan and immediately bared their sharp teeth, uttering strange noises while pouncing toward them.

These creatures moved at staggering speeds, and when they ran, a layer of red light enveloped them, making them look like moving flames.

“Xiao Nuan, I’ll leave two for you!” Lin Zhen said as he pulled out his Seven Kills Spear and charged toward the three Fire Fierce Rats on the left, his Lightning Wings flapping behind him.

Xiao Nuan roared and pounced on the other two rats.

Suddenly attacking, Lin Zhen thrust his spear forward with a simple yet effective move against the first Fire Fierce Rat!

Unexpectedly, the rat twisted in mid-air, dodging Lin Zhen’s attack. It then opened its mouth wide and viciously bit towards Lin Zhen’s face.

During the attack, the fierce rat even accelerated, almost catching Lin Zhen off guard. In the nick of time, he teleported.

He appeared behind the third rat, crouched down, and struck it in the abdomen with a Back Horse Spear. The rod was then flicked upwards, spilling the rat’s intestines out!

After taking such a heavy blow, the rat didn’t die, but violently turned its head, opening its mouth and spewed out a flame!

Lin Zhen’s spiritual shield expanded outward, and forcefully blocked the incoming fire. With a strong forward push of his hand, the spear pierced the rat, and the golden energy inside its abdomen was released!

In an instant, the rat seemed like a hedgehog, pierced through by countless streams of golden energy, dying on the spot.

“Phew! This S-level creature is quite hard to deal with. I had to use several moves, but now that I’m familiar with your tricks, you won’t pose a threat to me.”

Lin Zhen swung his Seven Kills and continued attacking the other two rats.

As for Xiao Nuan’s battle over there, it was even more intense. One rat bit onto Xiao Nuan’s hind leg but couldn’t snap it. Xiao Nuan roared as it pounced, and with one bite, it swallowed a chunk of meat weighing over a dozen kilograms into its stomach.

The two rats attacked Xiao Nuan furiously, their fur flying and their blood splattering. Some wounds appeared on Xiao Nuan’s body, but each time a wound appeared, a faint white light flickered on its body and quickly healed it. That was its inherited Radiant power from Lin Zhen.

Xiao Nuan was also crazy enough, with light and electricity flashing all over its body, and its incredible speed. Other than getting bitten twice at the beginning, it eventually overpowered the two rats, and even if the rats attacked with fire, Xiao Nuan didn’t care. With every vicious bite, it swallowed chunks of flesh one piece at a time.

The rats couldn’t escape, and after about thirty seconds, they both died and were half eaten alive.

After killing the two rats, Xiao Nuan opened its mouth wide and gulped down both of them, then happily ran towards Lin Zhen’s direction.

At this moment, Lin Zhen had finally dealt with the other two rats. He immediately collected the crystals, leaving the remaining flesh for Xiao Nuan to gobble up like candy beans.

Lin Zhen put away his spear and caught his breath. These S-level mutated beasts couldn’t withstand his attack. It was just a little hard to deal with because it was their first encounter. The next time would be much easier.

With the harvest of five S-level crystals, Lin Zhen’s mood was pretty good.

He was currently at the peak of Level Nine. To advance to the Quasi-Star Realm, he needed a lot of crystals or Dark Energy Stones.

Although he had more than a hundred Dark Energy Stones in hand, Lin Zhen, who had previously advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm in his past life, knew very well that the more crystals or Dark Energy Stones he had during the advancement, the larger the vortex of Qi in his Dantian would be.

So he needed to collect a lot of crystals, in addition to the Dark Energy Stones, he planned to collect at least a thousand S-level crystals and four hundred Quasi-SS Class crystals.

In his past life, Lin Zhen had once heard of someone in the interstellar realm advancing to the Quasi-Star Realm by absorbing five hundred S-level crystals and two hundred Quasi-SS level crystals. As a result, the vortex of Qi they condensed ended up being one-third larger than others.

Of course, not everyone could absorb that much; it required tremendous talent. Lin Zhen believed that he could try this number in this life. However, there was still a huge gap in the crystals at present.

“Well done, Xiao Nuan.” Lin Zhen encouraged Xiao Nuan, who stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, looking nothing like a Galaxy Beast but more like a big Lion Dog.

However, after seeing it eat five S-level mutated beasts, it seemed that its body had grown slightly. If it weren’t for Lin Zhen’s keen eyesight, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

“Let’s go, there are many more monsters ahead waiting for us to conquer. It’s said that there are even SS-level mutated beasts here. If we really encounter them, remember how fast the two of us need to run.”

A man and a beast continued to move forward, killing several more rats and long lizards along the way.

The scenery gradually changed, and the stones up ahead turned reddish-brown. Lin Zhen arrived at a riverbank.

It wasn’t an ordinary river, but a river of lava.

Lin Zhen had seen this river in a video before. It was a river that circled the North Pole Area. A Spiritual mind master once tried to fly over the river but was burned to ashes.

The rolling heatwave rushed toward him. The width of the river was at least a thousand meters, so teleportation was not an option to cross it.

“It’s too hot. The temperature here is probably around 300 degrees Celsius. If it wasn’t for my Ice protection, I’d probably be roasted by now.”

“Three hundred degrees Celsius is probably just the air temperature here. The temperature of the lava river must be above a thousand degrees. But if I release all the ice from the inside of my armor and add the ice protection from the Dark Star, I should be able to swim across this river?”

Just as Lin Zhen was about to give it a try, he suddenly saw two large black dots on the compass he was wearing on his hand, and they were very close!

Right now, anything that shows up as black on the compass is undoubtedly a

Star Realm Expert. Anyone who isn’t a Star Realm Expert can’t pose much of a

threat to Lin Zhen anymore.

One of the black dots wasn’t particularly dark, but the other was pitch black.

The lighter black dot was probably a standard Star Realm Expert, while the pitch-black dot was probably someone on the Star List.

Apart from these two, there were also three very light-colored dots, estimated to be three Quasi-Star Realm experts.

“My pursuers are here!”

Lin Zhen immediately realized this. The people from the Gods Clan arrived quickly, and it was estimated that there was more than just one group.

“No, I can’t keep heading north. The area there is getting smaller and smaller. I need to find a place to stay as soon as possible, at least until I’ve mastered the Overturning River.”

Just as Lin Zhen made up his mind, he faintly saw a group of people flying in the distance.

His eyes were exceptionally sharp, and he could vaguely see that the two people in front were wearing golden robes, clearly elder members of the Gods Clan.

“These guys are so fast, I have to shake them off..”
