521: Give your all without hesitation

Below the Golden Bitter Sea, at a depth of 300,000 to 500,000 meters.

A Humanoid life form was maintaining this depth, moving rapidly in a certain direction.

He was clearly not an aquatic alien, yet he seemed to be naturally adapted to the ocean, exuding a sense of being one with the surrounding environment in every movement.

If Chen Du were here, he would be surprised to discover that this Humanoid life form was none other than Yan, the leader whom the High Martial Civilization had declared dead!

“I didn’t expect that after this revival, my Rank not only remained unchanged but also increased by 1, becoming Rank 32.”

There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

After speaking, he pulled out a nail-sized, crystal-ball-like object from an unknown location, which was filled with a very unique blue liquid.

The color of this liquid was very similar to the blue of the sea, but when placed together, its difference could be spotted at a glance.

This difference was not a color difference, but a kind of exclusive nobility; it looked the same, but it was just different.

It was like twins; even though they looked identical, one could still tell who was who at a glance.

“I never thought I’d see a lin pearl again. I rose in the Third Ecological Circle thanks to this thing back then.”

“Right, old friend?”

Yan looked at the long sword in his hand, and for some unknown reason, he sighed slightly:

“Unfortunately, the Golden War Crab Civilization didn’t place these two lin pearls together, so even as a Domain Warrior, I couldn’t take both at once.”

“Now they must be highly on guard against the other lin pearl, so I have even less chance of getting it. I just hope that lin pearl doesn’t fall into the hands of a Great Civilization later.”

At this moment.

The water flow behind him suddenly changed.

“Hmm?”

“Are they here? So slow.”

Yan’s expression remained unchanged, and he thought faintly in his heart.

“Beast, where do you think you’re going to run?!”

“A Domain Warrior from the Surface, do you still think you can completely shake us off in the water?”

“Even with a lin pearl, it’s impossible!”

Behind Yan, an angry shout came.

Then, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five streams of water quickly slid past him, surrounding him in the middle.

Seeing this, Yan’s expression showed no panic; in fact, the corners of his mouth even curved slightly upward.

“At death’s door, and you can still smile?”

A Golden War Crab as tall as a small mountain asked, puzzled.

“You’re half right.”

Yan spoke, a hint of confidence in his words.

“Half right about what?”

“‘At death’s door,’ those four words, you got right.”

“But not for me, for you.”

“Hmph! I thought you were going to say something. They say you Humanoid life forms are inherently stubborn, and I’ve seen it today.”

“Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re Rank 32; we also have a Rank 32 Domain Warrior here!”

“You have no chance to escape!”

“Escape?”

“You’ve been wrong from the start.”

“I wasn’t escaping; I was afraid that fighting there would attract the attention of certain powerhouses, leading to a series of unexpected events beyond my Control.”

“And in this location, I can use my full strength without any reservations!”

After Yan finished speaking, a long sword appeared in his hand... After the Ten Secret Treasures upgrade, the Alien’s related abilities were also greatly improved.

Chen Du could exert 100% of his combat power without using any abilities.

As for disguising himself as Lin Cheng, he naturally needed to suppress his combat power, as Chen Du himself was much stronger than the other party.

When using the Alien, the star plate would appear for a moment, but Chen Du was certain there was no one around.

The Golden Bitter Sea was the ruling territory of two top-tier Civilizations, the Golden War Crab Civilization and the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization.

The location where Chen Du was currently belonged to the Golden War Crab Civilization’s territory.

From the information recounted by Lin Cheng, their Domain Warriors had all gone to chase the Domain Warrior who stole the lin pearl.

There were no Domain Warriors nearby.

Moreover, Chen Du’s Mental Energy was currently Rank 33. To be honest, Mental Energy of this Rank was higher than that of the Domain Warriors of the two top-tier Civilizations here.

This was not Chen Du boasting, but through Zhou Cheng’s description, Chen Du understood that the biggest difference between Small Civilizations and Great Civilizations was the gap between Domain Warriors.

Small Civilizations were cliff-edge behind in both the quantity and quality of Domain Warriors.

Theoretically, only a Rank 34 Domain Warrior could have Rank 33 Mental Energy, and a Rank 34 Domain Warrior was not something those resource-lacking Domain Warriors of Small Civilizations could achieve.

And the Golden War Crab Civilization was not a Civilization that had developed technology, so Chen Du was confident that no one could discover him.

Furthermore, this location was too shallow; it could only be considered the very edge of their territory, only occasionally checked.

Everything around him was under Chen Du’s perception, with nowhere to hide; at this moment, there was no life present around him.

Seven hours passed like this.

The people who had gone out on patrol earlier returned, but this time there were not 100 people, only 95.

Chen Du looked closely and saw that one team’s personnel was incomplete.

One Quasi-Warrior, three Martial Artists, and one Advanced Martial Artist were missing, a total of 5 people.

A team had only 10 people in total, meaning half had died.

“Why are 5 people missing?”

Chen Du mimicked Lin Cheng’s tone and asked the leading Sky Soaring Warrior, his voice carrying a hint of official authority.

This was something Chen Du had observed when he was hiding in the dark at the very beginning, and now he replicated it almost perfectly with his actor-level acting skills.

After speaking, Chen Du used his Mental Energy to observe every person below. As long as they showed even a slight change in micro-expression, Chen Du could determine that he had slipped up in some aspect of his acting.

Fortunately, no one showed any unusual reactions; everything was normal.

Chen Du’s slightly hanging heart also initially settled down. If he made a mistake here, there would be no point in going further; he would definitely be exposed.

“It’s like this, Captain Lin Cheng.”

“During our patrol, our third team did not discover any Humanoid life forms, but unfortunately, we encountered the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization at the ‘Average Line’.”

“They believed our people crossed the boundary and actively attacked us, which is why 5 brothers died.”

Chen Du nodded in a feigned manner.

He had heard about the “Average Line” from Lin Cheng during their last casual conversation.

This was the dividing line between the Golden War Crab Civilization and the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization; crossing it was considered trespassing.

However, the two Civilizations had different recognized ranges for this dividing line, both believing their territory should be larger.

This led to constant death matches between the subordinates of these two Civilizations over boundary issues.

Although 5 people died, it was a common occurrence.

“How many did they lose?”

Chen Du asked in a deep voice, his eyes showing a hint of authority.

“They” naturally referred to the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization.

The strength of these two Civilizations was almost identical, both having 5 Domain Warriors.

Their other personnel configurations were also roughly the same, and they had been fighting each other for an unknown number of years.

“Six.”

The leader of the third team answered truthfully, a trace of pride in his expression.

“Not bad!”

“You didn’t disgrace our Golden War Crab Civilization!”

Chen Du affirmed with a praising tone.

The Sky Soaring Warrior below and the surrounding teams all showed excited expressions upon hearing this.

Chen Du nodded in satisfaction. Through his communication with Lin Cheng, he knew that these patrol personnel were not just about having the Rank; they also went through layers of selection.

The most important first criterion was that Civilization dignity was greater than individual life.

These people were a group who highly valued Civilization dignity.

“Captain Lin Cheng.”

The leader of the sixth team suddenly spoke at this moment. Looking at his expression, Chen Du guessed that he had encountered something.

“Did the sixth team encounter some trouble?”
