Black pulses were like a violent storm in the night sky, constantly shaking the defensive web of trees.

They eat away at the indestructible trunks and luxuriant foliage at a relentless rate. Each impact seemed to carry a devastating force, smashing the trees to wither and wither like a raging wave. The trees that were once thriving seemed to lose all their vitality in an instant under the impact of the pulse, turning into silent dust and dissipating into the air with the wind.

However, it was precisely under the impetus of Yang Yun's powerful life energy that every time the old trees withered, new trees grew rapidly almost at the same time, and they quickly filled the gaps that had been destroyed and built a new line of defense. This constant growth and destruction forms a strange cycle, like a tenacious display of vitality in nature.

The speed of destruction cannot keep up with the speed of creation.

In this contest between life and death, Yang Yun did not have the slightest panic, his eyes were firm and deep, as calm as an ancient tree, and the turquoise aura was constantly circulating around him. Every breath he takes, every heartbeat, resonates with those giant trees, as if he is one with this forest...... But because of this, Yang Yun, who had already unlocked the fourth-order genetic lock at this time, could clearly feel the essence of this attack.

This is by no means a simple Iron Curtain device, but a special Iron Curtain energy condensed, through the impact of high-speed particles to excite the surrounding particles, release a stream of high-energy particles, and then use a method similar to a pulse cannon to trigger a series of chain reactions...... The high-speed particle pulse wave formed by this reaction is like an invisible hand of death, which has extremely strong penetrating and destructive power, decomposing and transforming all the substances it touches, producing a large-scale annihilation effect.

In Yang Yun's heart, as he realized the essence of this super weapon, he had a deeper understanding of the microscopic operation of the gene lock, and the arrogance around his body became more stable and orderly. With the subtle adjustment of genes, the trees that spawned the life energy gradually became solid, firmly blocking the pulse waves that annihilated everything, and not allowing the slightest inch to enter.

- It's powerful...... But it's not big enough.

- Reached the level of the fourth order, but at the very least, not enough to break through my defenses.

Yang Yun is not worried about Zheng Zha, who is on the periphery and is not covered by the defense net, in his opinion, Zheng Zha's physical fitness is already quite high, and he has a powerful skill such as "Glory of the Dragon", which makes his defense ability reach an astonishing height. Even the impulse attack generated by this improved Iron Curtain device was only a flesh wound to Zheng Zhe, at most it could only make him look a little embarrassed, but it would never pose a mortal threat to him...... And under the modified gene of the fourth-order gene lock, the nuclear explosion attack converted from time and space could not have much impact on him.

- Just, why did we catch our whereabouts so quickly, by an enemy who was hiding somewhere?

Yang Yun's heart began to ripple, and the suppressed emotions, the incompatibilities that were stuck in his throat, and the strong sense of disobedience made him feel more and more uneasy. His instincts told him that he was missing something important, like a missing piece of a puzzle that made the whole picture incomplete...... And this matter is most directly related to the disappearance of Chu Xuan and Qi Tengyi.

Under the turquoise aura, Yang Yun turned his head and looked at his teammates who also didn't know what was going on. At this moment, they were obviously confused by this sudden attack, but they still broke away from the state they had just entered the mission world for the first time, and were ready to fight.

Yang Yun's gaze was like a sharp blade sweeping across the battlefield, and at a glance, he could gain insight into the state of his teammates. He could feel their nervousness and fear, but these emotions were real, and there was no trace of the invasion of the outside mind. The fear of the six newcomers in the face of the threat of death was an instinctive reaction, unpretentious, and none of them belonged to the lurkers who had been quietly planted by Adam or other hostile forces, as in the previous world.

- Not for this reason.

- More than that, it's more like Yuri used a psychic scan to find our whereabouts across the entire planet...... Is it just possible? Even if Yuri really has the strength of the fourth order, but this equivalent super weapon will inevitably require a lot of preparation time, how on earth did he get past Zhan Lan's spiritual power shield and accurately lock our position?

Retracting his gaze, although there were still a lot of doubts in his heart, Yang Yun still took the safest and unmistakable approach at present: "Zhan Lan, take back your mental power scan, and make every effort to build a shielding defense line to resist the external spiritual invasion and maintain the spiritual power shield, and the others activate the demon-level soul armor to resist the mind control that Yuri may launch." ”

"As for the newcomers, just drink the life essence I gave you before, and now immediately-"

The words blurted out without thinking, but at this moment, a trace of doubt suddenly rose in Yang Yun's mind, he clearly remembered that since he entered this world, except for hearing the brief self-introduction of the newcomers, he had not had a deeper communication with them, let alone distributed any items to them...... However, just now, he naturally commanded the six newcomers and ordered them to take the life essence prepared in advance, as if it was out of a plan that had been decided a long time ago!

Wait, something is wrong -

However, it was too late, and an incomparably cold, yet incomparably powerful spiritual impact was like a sharp arrow in the dark, silently tearing through Zhan Lan's spiritual power shield. The mental power controller of the Middle-earth team snorted in pain, and his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose spurted blood...... Although the defensive network made of trees was still solid, a strange light carried distorted fluctuations, but it seemed to ignore the physical defenses and swept through all the members of the Middle-earth team in a way that exceeded the sense!

"Boom!"

The heads of the five newcomers exploded like watermelons, and the main god's deduction reminder also rang five times in an instant.

"Alright, Team Middle-earth...... A greeting gift. ”

Under Yang Yun's stunned gaze, the last newcomer, a woman named Liang Qingya, opened her lips slightly: "This is my revenge." ”

Her voice still sounded hers; But from her eyes, there is no half of the will that belongs to herself.

In the next moment, her body fell to the ground limply, losing all life.

The sixth point deduction prompt also sounded at the same time.

I won't write the summary at the end of the volume for the time being, and I'll write it together in the next volume.
