42: Chapter 41 Protecting Lin Mo

"Beep——"

The silver communication crystal hanging from Li Yueyue's waist suddenly flashed with a blinding red light.

This was the exclusive channel for senior members of the Nine Nether Temple.

She tapped on the crystal with trembling hands.

A pale blue light screen popped up in mid-air, with dense text scrolling down like a waterfall.

After Li Yueyue saw the content, the color visibly drained from her face.

"What is it?"

Lin Mo sat on the obsidian, eating snacks he had bought at some unknown time.

Li Yueyue's voice trembled, and the hand holding her staff shook uncontrollably.

"The Zhang family has made your coordinates public."

"And then?"

Lin Mo tossed a small crispy snack into his mouth, making a crisp crunching sound.

"They have decided to unite with all the noble families and The Consortium forces."

"Currently, 22 factions have responded to the Zhang family's call, including the remnants of our Nine Nether Temple, as well as the Thunder Consortium and the Starfall Guild; they are all in on it."

She paused, her tone laced with a hint of despair.

"Conservatively estimated, there are currently over 300 class-holders eyeing us."

300 top-tier prodigies armed to the teeth.

Equipped with dark gold sets, epic grade scrolls, and even family-inherited life-saving trump cards.

To surround and suppress a level 30 Blank Slate Warrior.

Even in the records of all previous hell-grade dungeons, one could not find such an absurd spectacle.

"Hum——"

Before Li Yueyue could digest this shock, the sky of the entire hell-grade dungeon suddenly sank.

The deep red firmament was like shattered glass, emitting a teeth-grinding friction sound.

A cold, mechanical voice exploded in the minds of the four people simultaneously.

[Warning: Final space collapse program initiated.]

[Countdown: 30 minutes.]

[Safe zone range: 500 meters in diameter, coordinates (774, 221).]

[Survivors who do not reach the safe zone by the countdown will be erased.]

Lin Mo glanced at the map.

The once vast wasteland had mostly turned into an absolutely dead, pitch-black color.

The poison circle was shrinking at a visible speed.

"Interesting, hahaha."

Lin Mo's eyes revealed excitement,

"I don't need to scour the map for technicians anymore; I can just wipe them all out in one go."

He didn't even want to fight monsters now; it was completely meaningless.

Wouldn't he win if he just wiped out all the class-holders in one go?

Go fight monsters? Only a fool would do that.

The Tali Tribe Alien Crown Prince, who was slumped on the ground nearby, heard this and suddenly let out a neurotic sneer.

"Lowly human, is your brain broken?"

The Alien Crown Prince stood up shakily, staring fixedly at Lin Mo, his eyes flashing with pathological glee.

"300 human elites wearing dark gold sets! If each of them just casts one basic spell, they can blast you into slag!"

"Who do you think you are? A god?"

The Alien Crown Prince became more excited as he spoke, his voice becoming sharp due to extreme agitation,

"That's a whole 300 people! No matter how strong you are, can you withstand 300 people's non-stop carpet bombing?!"

In his view, Lin Mo was already a dead man.

The Zhang family and the Nine Nether Temple would absolutely not let this anomaly go.

As long as Lin Mo died, he could take the Princess and escape this hellish torture.

Even if he died, he would be liberated.

Being Lin Mo's technician was worse than death for him!

"Hahahaha! You're dead! You will definitely be hacked into meat paste!"

The Alien Crown Prince raised his serrated greatsword, pointing it at Lin Mo and laughing wildly.

Lin Mo didn't spare the Alien Crown Prince another glance.

He took a wet wipe from his spatial ring and wiped his hands slowly and methodically.

"Technician No. 2."

Lin Mo didn't even raise his head.

The petite Princess slumped to the side shuddered and quickly scrambled up:

"I'm... I'm here, my lord."

"Take off your clothes."

Lin Mo's tone was flat, as if he were ordering what to have for dinner.

The whole place was deathly silent.

Li Yueyue's eyes widened sharply, looking at Lin Mo in disbelief.

She didn't expect Lin Mo to be into this sort of thing.

No wonder he had absolutely no interest in her.

The Princess froze, a flush of sickly crimson instantly rising on her fair face; she bit her lip, her hands crossed over the buckle of her combat armor on her chest.

"How dare you!"

The Alien Crown Prince's eyes were splitting, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

That was his future Princess!

She was the symbol of the pure-blooded nobility of the Tali Tribe!

"Click."

The crisp sound of the metal buckle unfastening was exceptionally harsh in the quiet basin.

The Princess did not hesitate in the slightest, directly sliding off the shoulder armor on her left side, revealing a large expanse of skin.

If Lin Mo died, she could indeed be liberated.

But now Lin Mo was still alive, and this man only needed to move a finger to make her wish she were dead.

She knew her position.

"Stop! Stop it!"

The Alien Crown Prince threw away his greatsword and lunged at the Princess with bloodshot eyes, only to be kicked away by Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stepped on the Alien Crown Prince's head, pressing his face ruthlessly into a crack in the obsidian.

"Who did you say was dead just now?"

Lin Mo applied pressure slowly with his foot.

Crack, crack, crack.

The Alien Crown Prince's skull emitted a sound of unbearable friction.

The extreme pain and the sight of the Princess about to unfasten her close-fitting soft armor intertwined, completely shattering the last bit of the Alien Crown Prince's self-esteem.

"I was wrong! I was wrong!! My lord!"

The Alien Crown Prince frantically slapped the ground, his voice cracking and distorted.

"I am the pig! I am the worm! Please, let her stop!"

Lin Mo removed his foot and took out a new towel to wipe the sole of his shoe.

"If you don't listen again, I'll have her take off her clothes in front of hundreds of people later."

"Put it back on."

He gestured with his chin towards the Princess.

A trace of emotion that was hard to detect flashed in the depths of the Princess's eyes as she quickly put on her combat armor.

"Continue moving; let's get to the safe zone early and claim a good spot."

Lin Mo stepped over the Alien Crown Prince, who was like a dead dog, and strode towards the center of the basin.

The Alien Crown Prince was truly obedient this time; he dared not imagine what it would look like for his Princess to get naked in front of hundreds of people.

He absolutely could not bear it!

Li Yueyue looked at Lin Mo's back, then at the Alien Crown Prince kneeling on the ground, and deeply felt a chill that seeped into her marrow.

This man must absolutely not be provoked.

Not long after walking, the four of them stopped again.

"Lin Mo... people are coming from ahead again."

Li Yueyue was the first to sense the movement.

Four figures were approaching rapidly from behind a slope of gravel.

Chu Kuang and the three people following him—Su Wan, Lin Yao, and the defiant-looking rupole own.

These were the four "bodyguards" that Qin Lan had forced upon Lin Mo.

Chu Kuang saw the situation here from afar.

His footsteps came to a sudden halt.

"That is... an alien?!"

Su Wan also stopped, shading her eyes with her hand to identify them carefully.

The scene was like this——

Lin Mo, with "1" HP hanging over his head, was being fiercely hacked at by two Alien warriors covered in blue blood.

Beside him was a silver-robed girl, raising her staff and releasing dense starlight rays at him.

"Lin Mo is being besieged!"

Chu Kuang's pupils constricted, and without a word, he drew his dual-bladed battle axes and charged over.

"Armor Combine!!" he roared!
