Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Substitute Scarecrow

“Encountering me yet still trying to escape? Admirable courage.”

Seeing Lin You flee without a second thought, the Phantom Beast Lord sneered coldly, as powerful Tier Eight Illusion Beasts appeared one by one, charging toward Lin You.

At that moment, as Lin You was escaping, he sensed something, and his expression suddenly changed. He swiftly twisted his body, dodging to the side.

The next second, an illusory giant claw appeared, tearing through space, brushing past his chest.

“Boom!”

The ground shattered, turning into a mass of rubble.

Lin You, who was just inches away, was pushed several meters away by the strong shockwave, barely managing to stabilize himself.

Lifting his head again, a large group of previously hidden Tier Eight Illusion Beasts revealed themselves, cutting off all his escape routes.

Lin You’s expression darkened slightly.

No wonder there was no obstruction when he first entered; there had been an ambush here all along, a classic trap.

Without daring to hesitate, he immediately summoned a large number of plants to surround him.

In an instant, vines covered the entire interior of the building, rushing toward the surrounding Illusion Beasts amidst Cyan Gang’s Barbaric Roar.

“Hmph, a trivial trick, capture him!”

The Phantom Beast Lord shouted, and the Tier Eight Illusion Beasts leaped high, pouncing on Lin You’s plants.

Tear!

The vines were easily torn apart, unable to withstand the fierce assaults of the Tier Eight species. One after another, the creatures pounced, and in no time, several plants were shredded by sharp claws, collapsing to the ground.

Seeing several Illusion Beasts break through the defenses, heading straight for him, Lingxi beside Lin You immediately waved her magic staff, temporarily ensnaring them with thorns, and earth spikes shot out abruptly.

At the same time, mushrooms were thrown all around.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of violent explosions violently shook the entire building.

Taking advantage of the cover from the smoke, Lin You immediately led the plants through the exploded gap, rushing outside.

“You can’t escape!”

The Phantom Beast Lord shouted, and the Illusion Beasts beside him vanished on the spot.

Swish, swish, swish—

The sound of cutting through the air arose, as streaks of light flashed through the plants, leaving fallen plants wherever they went.

Even with the aid of Barbaric Roar, they couldn’t withstand the assault, and in an instant, Lin You lost dozens of species!

Not even the Charming Kiss of the Enchanting Beldam or the group control of the Hundred-Change Poison Mushroom could stop them!

No way!

It couldn’t be dragged on any longer!

Seeing the dwindling number of plant species around him, Lin You’s expression hardened, and he immediately summoned the Cyan Rattan.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, countless giant vines emerged chaotically, spreading rapidly in all directions like an octopus.

The enormous body instantly changed the Phantom Beast Lord’s expression, forcing him to retreat with his species.

In a flash, the vines burst out of the building, completely collapsing it into a large pile of rubble.

The spectacular scene immediately drew the attention of the Lords stationed at the checkpoint.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“What is that!? How did so many plants suddenly appear??”

“So many vines! Could it be that a demon has infiltrated the checkpoint?”

“No, not a demon! It seems like someone’s fighting!”

Before they could react, a figure suddenly burst out from the rolling smoke, riding a colossal Plant Giant Dragon, soaring swiftly into the sky.

And the plants in the rubble also vanished instantly, leaving only a heap of ruins and broken walls.

“Damn it! After him!”

The Phantom Beast Lord’s face was iron-blue, never expecting a mere Tier Six Lord to have so many tricks up his sleeve.

If he escaped, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock in the future?

Absolutely not!

The Phantom Beast Lord’s heart hardened, and just as Lin You ascended, a terrifying energy rapidly gathered in the mouths of his species, shooting a straight beam into the sky.

Sitting on the back of the Demon King Dragon, Lin You didn’t even have time to react before the beam pierced his chest, sending him flying like a sandbag into the forest outside the checkpoint.

The Demon King Dragon beneath him also turned into specks of starlight, disappearing.

“Falling into my hands and still trying to escape? Go, bring his corpse back to me!”

The Phantom Beast Lord sneered coldly, instructing the newly arrived Imperial Soldiers.

The soldiers received the order and immediately left the checkpoint, hastily heading in the direction where Lin You fell, leaving the onlookers talking among themselves.

However, none of them knew.

In the forest outside the checkpoint,

Lin You, who should have been dead, suddenly rose from the ground.

Even the injury on his chest had disappeared, completely unmarred as if he had never been hurt.

Indeed!

Just moments ago, the Substitute Scarecrow he carried had taken the lethal blow for him, allowing him to remain unharmed.

He felt immensely relieved.

If not for his foresight, he might truly have met his end here today. The power of a Tier Eight Lord was indeed terrifying.

But the opponent would never anticipate.

During the skirmish, he had secretly instructed the Cyan Rattan to bury the Teleportation Crystal deep below, covering it with the rubble.

With this, his mission was considered complete.

Not daring to linger, he immediately took out the Teleportation Crystal from his personal space.

[The area you’re currently in does not belong to the Primordial Realm, teleportation preparation time will be doubled. Would you like to continue?]

“Hm? Double the time?”

Lin You paused, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Doubling the preparation time meant ten seconds.

It’s fortunate he hadn’t intended to use it to escape earlier.

Given that situation, forget ten seconds, even five would have been impossible for him to spare.

Moreover, the Teleportation Crystal couldn’t be moved during use, or it would destabilize the space and cause teleportation failure.

Without hesitation, he opted to use it, and the crystal in his hand erupted in a brilliant white light.

“Quick, it’s just ahead.”

At that moment, several shouts suddenly echoed from afar.

It should be the pursuers from the Primordial Evil Realm.

Unfortunately, before they arrived, Lin You had already teleported away ahead of them, vanishing on the spot.

Swoosh!

A flash of light.

When Lin You regained his senses, he found himself at the Teleportation Plaza of the Angel’s Wing Main City.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, his tense body finally relaxed completely, exhaling a deep breath.

This mission had been extremely treacherous.

A single misstep could have cost him his life.

If not for another person attracting attention, he probably wouldn’t have completed it.

It seemed he needed to be even more cautious in the future.

With that in mind, he left the plaza, hastily heading to Qin Li’s villa.

He was in luck.

When he arrived, Qin Li was in the courtyard hearing his subordinate’s report.

Seeing him appear, Qin Li immediately stood from his seat.

“Lin You? You returned from the Primordial Evil Realm!?”

“Yes, mission accomplished.” Lin You smiled faintly.

“So, you successfully placed the Positioning Crystal?”

Upon hearing his response, Qin Li was initially surprised, then quickly overjoyed.

“Hahaha, excellent! I thought my royal brother and sister would beat us to it, but in the end, you accomplished it. I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. Thank you so much this time!”

“No need for pleasantries, just don’t forget to give me what you promised. I nearly lost my life this time.” Lin You gave Qin Li a deep look.

“Of course, I’ll report to my father now, and after confirming everything, I’ll have someone deliver what’s due to you.”

“Alright, I’ll be heading off then.”

Lin You didn’t linger to chat with Qin Li, leaving the villa straightaway.

This time, completing the mission had cost him a significant number of species.

Though they were just Reproduction Species, recovering them would still take considerable time.
