Chapter 143: Lin Yuan’s Solo Kill

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After another half an hour of stalemate, a green luminescent insect suddenly appeared at the sea of flowers’ edge. This huge alien insect was the second Class 3 alien insect, the Acid Tapeworm.

When everyone saw the Acid Tapeworm appear, they were relieved but had grave expressions.

While killing the Class 1 and Class 2 alien insects, the combat-class spirit qi professionals with Gold feys needed to focus and carefully observe their surroundings. This was because they did not know in which insect’s body the hidden killer, Class 3 Heart-Penetrating Ironline, was. It might launch a sudden attack at any time.

Since the Acid Tapeworm appeared, only the Class 3 Heart-Penetrating Ironline was left.

Everyone retreated to their defensive positions, prepared to deal with the Acid Tapeworm in unison.

The Acid Tapeworm’s defensive power was not strong, not even comparable to a Class 1 insect. Nonetheless, it was terrifying due to the green acidic corrosive liquid in its body that would even corrode sand and soil when spewed out.

Even if a Gold fey got into contact with a little of this acid, a huge chunk of its flesh would be corroded. If it was covered in more acid, its roots would be damaged.

Just as Xin Ying, Zhang Xiaobai, Tan Ran, the Millstone Town’s Guild Alliance branch president, and a middle-aged foreign man were prepared to attack the Acid Tapeworm, Red Thorn suddenly became excited.

Lin Yuan soon understood why he sensed Red Thorn’s sudden excitement and intense emotion waves. Red Thorn had probably spotted its favorite delicacy.

The leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box that the Moon Empress had given Lin Yuan contained a huge amount of dimensional lifeform flesh.

After devouring the flesh of different kinds of dimensional lifeforms, Red Thorn slowly became picky.

Based on Lin Yuan’s observation, Red Thorn preferred eating the dimensional lifeforms’ flesh that contained a lot of acid in their blood. Naturally, alien insect flesh contained the strongest acidity.

The carcass of an Acid Tapeworm was in the Diamond leaf-shaped fey storage box all along, and Red Thorn had been drooling over its Class 3 flesh. However, Lin Yuan had not allowed Red Thorn to eat it.

This was because Red Thorn had been at Elite previously. If it ate this Class 3 Acid Tapeworm, it would likely be unable to digest it and would instead be injured by the Acid Tapeworm’s strong acidity.

Now that Red Thorn had seen the Acid Tapeworm, its vine wrapped around Lin Yuan’s wrist shook. It was like a puppy wagging its tail pitifully to plead its master when it saw something delicious.

Lin Yuan nodded as he looked at the Acid Tapeworm at the edge of the sea of flowers.

When Red Thorn had been at Elite, Lin Yuan would at most feed it the flesh of Silver dimensional lifeforms. Now that it had reached Bronze, it should be fine for it to eat some Gold dimensional lifeforms’ flesh.

Red Thorn’s roots, which had been rooted to the ground, suddenly erupted with surging energy. This energy fluctuation made Lin Yuan sense a layer of airwaves forming in the ground underneath his feet.

This energy was what the child ramets had drained from a huge amount of alien insect flesh.

At that moment, Red Thorn redirected that energy to the child ramets near the Acid Tapeworm, and they rapidly grew into 1.5-meter-tall ramets. These ramets had the ability of pinnacle Elite feys, which was the limit of Red Thorn’s ramets.

The nearly 100 ramets close to the Acid Tapeworm waved their barbed vines at it.

When the Acid Tapeworm sensed the attack and was about to spit out acid, Lin Yuan raised his hand, used the Spirit Qi Imprint’s spiritual power, and unleashed his Blue Flash Purple Butterfly’s ability, Silence Scale Powder.

The Silence Scale Powder landed and attached on the Acid Tapeworm, effectively stopping it from spitting out acid.

In fact, the Silence Scale Powder would not affect the Acid Tapeworm when it spat out acid, as it did not need to communicate with the spirit qi in the world. It was just releasing the acid from its body.

However, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly’s exclusive skill, Scale Powder Halo, made a vast difference. The light pollution—caused by the scale powder reflecting the Acid Tapeworm’s body’s greenish light—made it dizzy.

What Lin Yuan wanted was the Scale Powder Halo to cause brief dizziness.

Just as the Acid Tapeworm was dizzy, the pinnacle Elite ramets wrapped it, and the vines’ barbs pierced into its weak epidermis.

The vines were soon firmly fixed on the Acid Tapeworm and dragged it from the edge to within the sea of flowers.

Red Thorn’s pinnacle Elite ramets tore apart the Acid Tapeworm’s weak translucent epidermis, causing a huge amount of green acid to spray out and land on the child ramets in the sea of flowers.

The child ramets below Normal were instantly corroded and withered when the acid touched them, while the Normal child ramets did not last long before they turned yellow and gradually corroded completely.

However, the Elite ramets could bear this powerful corrosive acid.

Red Thorn had drained a huge amount of alien insect flesh, so it had significant resistance to the acid in the alien insect blood.

The potent digestive fluids in Red Thorn’s body were a result of devouring highly acidic dimensional lifeforms’ flesh.

The Elite ramets swirled open the rose-shaped flowers on the corrosive cavity and revealed the sharp teeth inside.

The sharp teeth immediately bit through the Acid Tapeworm’s epidermis. At the same time, the corrosive cavity penetrated its body and rapidly drained the Acid Tapeworm’s acid in huge amounts. Then, they transferred all the energy to the ortet.

While the ramets were devouring the Acid Tapeworm’s acid, the ortet’s Mouth of Relinquish became a little more acidic due to the energy the ramets provided.

Thanks to Lin Yuan’s Silence Scale Powder and Red Thorn’s attacks, this Class 3 Acid Tapeworm perished.

Its death could be attributed to three factors—Lin Yuan’s unexpected use of Silence Scale Powder, the sea of flowers being spread out to attack, and the Acid Tapeworm having a weak spot.

Naturally, Lin Yuan’s actions astonished everyone. It was a Class 3 alien insect, comparable to a Gold fey, after all.

Tan Ran could not help but mumble, “Lin Yuan is a legendary social elite, right?”

Upon hearing Tan Ran’s words, Zhang Xiaobai scratched his head and asked, “Tan Ran, what’s a social elite?”

Xin Ying looked at Zhang Xiaobai’s silly look and rolled her eyes before explaining, “You don’t know what a social elite is? They’re the ones who are left after gathering everyone in society, compressing, extracting, filtering them, and repeating it many times.”

Xin Ying’s explanation dumbfounded Zhang Xiaobai. “Isn’t that a... scum?”
