Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 199: Chapter 198: Other Shore Flower

At this very moment.

Luo Lei was truly shocked to the extreme.

The rumored Primordial Realm Lord, who terrified everyone, turned out to be someone he knew!

Astonishment, and disbelief, surged instantly in his heart, leaving him dumbfounded.

Not to mention Xu Xiangdong beside him.

Hearing him call Lin You “Boss Lin” just now, he was completely bewildered.

His friend actually knows this big shot!?

This is a person who almost dominates the entire number one battlefield!

In the past, he wouldn’t have dreamed of having any connection with such a big figure.

Especially when he saw those terrifying plants around him, he was too shocked to speak.

But quickly.

The two men reacted and hastily looked around.

“No need to look, I’ve already controlled them.”

Lin You naturally knew what they were looking at.

With a clap of his hands, the three Lords bound by Vines were dragged over, all looking on the brink of death.

“This!”

Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong immediately stood up, staring at the three people in front of them in shock.

These were the very same ones who had been pursuing them, almost driving them into a desperate corner?

“They were the ones chasing you just now, right?” Lin You asked.

“Uh…” Luo Lei replied blankly.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave them to you to handle.”

By now, Lin You probably figured out the origin of the situation, so he didn’t directly kill the three Lords, but left them for Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong to deal with.

Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong looked at the three, then at Lin You, and couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“Really leave them for us to deal with?”

“Mm, take care of it yourselves.”

Lin You nodded, then stepped aside, giving them space.

Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong exchanged a glance, finally setting their eyes fiercely, drew their weapons, and walked forward.

The three Lords, seeing them through the gaps in the Vines, began to struggle in terror, trying to break free from the vines’ hold.

But how could Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong give them a chance?

Recalling the humiliation of the desperate escape just now, and the ruthless intention of the other party wanting to torture them to death, their blades swiftly fell.

“Puff!”

Blood splattered, the long knives pierced through their chests, and two of them immediately ceased struggling.

The remaining one was left for Luo Lei by Xu Xiangdong, who followed the fate of the other two amidst the blood-red blade flash.

Thus, the three Lords pursuing them were all annihilated!

Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong stood up, staring dumbly at the corpses before them, and at the blood covering their hands.

There was an unreal feeling.

A few powerful Lords, just died at their hands?

This was too easy, right?

Of course.

They knew that all this was thanks to Lin You.

After being stunned, they quickly put away their weapons and approached Lin You.

“How are things? Got all the resources?” Lin You asked.

“Yes.” Luo Lei nodded heavily, still filled with excitement, “Boss Lin You, never thought we’d actually meet you here.”

“Indeed, it’s been about four months since we last met.” Lin You sighed, “How did you end up in the number one battlefield, and in such a place?”

“Because during random distribution, we had the bad luck to end up in this battlefield.” Luo Lei’s eyes showed a hint of bitterness.

“Like us, these Lords who just arrived, it’s really tough to survive in this battlefield, so when we saw Boss Lin You’s name in the rankings, we thought of coming over and joining you. But just halfway, we encountered these three people…”

“So, you were chased all the way here?” Lin You frowned.

“Yes.” Luo Lei nodded, “If Boss Lin You hadn’t appeared in time, we probably wouldn’t be alive now.”

His words were filled with deep fear.

Even Xu Xiangdong next to him was the same, with a face still lingering with trepidation.

It seems they truly went all out to come over and join Lin You.

Lin You glanced at their battered appearance, and the few remaining Tier Seven Species around them, and smiled slightly: “In that case, you two should stay with me for now.”

“Really!?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong became excited immediately.

Risking their lives to get here was precisely for this!

“But I have a condition.” Lin You continued, “You all have to follow my arrangements from now on, and not act arbitrarily.”

“Rest assured, we will.” They nodded vigorously, like chickens pecking at grains, “Whatever Boss Lin You tells us to do, we’ll definitely do.”

“Alright, take a rest first. You’re so badly injured; we’ll act once you’re healed by tomorrow morning.”

By now, the sky was gradually darkening.

Which is why Lin You hadn’t ventured further into the Imperial Palace.

After all, the palace was filled with overpowering negativity, and it was uncertain what dangers might be encountered at night, so acting during the day was safer.

It seemed other Lords should be similar, choosing to wait a night outside the palace.

Soon, he took Luo Lei and the others into a nearby mansion, casually found a clean spot to start a fire, cook food, and chat about their own experiences.

What surprised Lin You greatly was that where Luo Lei descended was actually in the Moonlight Duchy, which just lost its King, only separated by two Duchies from the Great Wilderness Duchy.

Luo Lei, however, only ascended to Tier Six half a month after the regional lockdown was lifted, descending to the Primordial Continent.

Truly speaking, luck was good.

However, Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong were in no mood to care about these things.

At this moment, they were already deeply shaken by the terrifyingly diverse and imposing plants around them, their hearts trembling intensely.

Especially Luo Lei.

He had thought that Lin You’s strength would be considerable, but he hadn’t expected it to be this intense.

Two Tier Eight Species, and such an exaggerated number of Tier Seven Species.

Is this really something a Tier Six Lord can achieve?

This has only been four months since the descent!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed Lin You was really someone from his own region.

At the same time, he felt immensely grateful that back in their region, his action of building a good relationship with Lin You had surprisingly saved his life at this crucial moment.

And also, killing those two Lords earlier earned him a few hundred thousand Magic Energy, an undoubtedly huge fortune for someone who had just descended not long ago.

Thus, he was very grateful to Lin You.

So, just like that.

The three of them snacked and chatted leisurely until darkness fell completely, then each found a clean room nearby to rest, ending this thrilling day entirely.

…

Early the next morning.

Lin You woke as soon as the first light broke.

After a simple preparation, he directly brought Luo Lei and the others out of the mansion, led through the plants towards the Imperial Palace gates.

Looking at the long passageway leading into the palace ahead, Luo Lei couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

“Boss Lin, are we really going inside?”

“Yes, we need to find the Source of the Plague before other Lords, and I can feel that this Source is related to the formation of the battlefield,” Lin You said without blinking.

“Indeed.” Xu Xiangdong nodded, “On the way here, we also discovered a lot of information about this battlefield in the surrounding villages, it seems this plague was transmitted from inside the palace.”

“Are you sure?” Lin You looked over at him.

“I’m sure, we found the clues in the home of a returning palace maid, and it turned out that the maid was infected too, spreading the plague throughout the village.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Lin You lowered his head and pondered.

“So it seems the Source of the Plague is indeed inside this palace, you guys better stick close, we’re going in.”

He then asked Cyan Rattan to build a wall ladder on the palace wall edges using vines, allowing the plants to enter the city through them.

Because he noticed, within the passage leading into the palace, many zombies were gathered.

Though not too many, the place is too narrow for fighting.

Better to simply and brutally cross the wall, saving a lot of effort.

Luo Lei and his companions naturally dared not hesitate and closely followed Lin You up to the palace wall.

Then, a scene different from outside the city came into their view.

“This is!”

Luo Lei widened his eyes in shock, staring at everything before them.

Even Lin You was profoundly shaken by the scene inside the palace.

Wherever they looked, it was covered with zombies and corpses, and a grayish-white root system draped almost the entire palace.

Even the distant lake waters were dyed black-red, exuding a nauseating stench.

But what shocked them the most was where the roots converged, on an imposing palace in the palace center.

A gigantically eerie flower stood defiantly between heaven and earth.

Its vibrant red contrasted starkly with the palace’s grayish-white.

“That seems to be… the Other Shore Flower?”

Luo Lei spoke with horror, seeing such a large Other Shore Flower for the first time.

It’s several times bigger than Lin You’s Cyan Rattan!

Even the clouds in the sky continuously gathered above it, looking both magnificent and terrifying.

“Could that be the Source of the Plague?” Lin You frowned and said.

For some reason, he felt that flower was unusual.

While they observed the palace’s interior, a notification sounded promptly.

[Attention all Lords, the deadly plague is about to start shrinking.]

[At that time, the battlefield’s range will reduce to half its original size, please prepare yourselves.]

Boom!

A huge roar.

The toxin circle outside Dayan City began moving again, slowly shrinking towards Dayan City.

Distance-wise, this time it should shrink directly into the Outer City District.

Meaning all Lords will be forced into the Inner City, and ultimately have no choice but to seek refuge in the palace.

“Let’s go, time is running out, we must act quickly.”

With the battlefield’s end time at noon tomorrow, Lin You didn’t want to waste any time and immediately led the plants over the wall, into the palace.

Immediately, nearby zombies were drawn by the scent of flesh, roaring and surrounding them, even mixed with two Tier Eight whose presence was overwhelmingly powerful.

But soon, they were blocked by the Immortal Flower Legion.

Then, amidst angry roars, they were gang-beaten to death by Lingxi, Cyan Rattan, and two Tier Eight Tree Demons, unwillingly falling to the ground.

“So strong!”

Luo Lei and his companions watched the two Tier Eight being neatly dispatched, their eyes ready to pop from their heads.

Finally, witnessing Lin You’s terrifying power.

At the same time.

At three other palace entrances.

Other Lords also began their actions, leading their species into the palace, clearing the zombies along the way, all wanting to find the Source of the Plague first.

However, they didn’t know.

Just as they entered the palace, a figure sitting on a throne underneath the Other Shore Flower in the palace suddenly opened their eyes.
