Seeing Lin Zichen on full alert, ready to lash out at any moment, Lü Qingyu, who was leaning against the wall, hurriedly said:

"My god, it's not an enemy, it's my master coming to find me."

"Your master?"

"Yes, my master."

After explaining, Lü Qingyu continued: "When I was shot down from the sky just now, I immediately sent a distress signal to my master."

"My master is also participating in the rescue in the city center, not far from us."

"With the precise positioning of the GPS, it won't take long to find me."

After saying that, she looked up to the sky and, using her vocal cords as a megaphone, loudly shouted: "Master, over here!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

The next second, a fully armed Mechanically Modified Human appeared above the three of them.

Lin Zichen looked up.

When he saw the face of the Mechanically Modified Human above, his expression involuntarily froze.

It was her!

Lin Zichen recognized Lü Qingyu's master.

He had met her once in junior high school.

It was a dark and windy night.

At the time, he had ridden his bike with Shen Qinghan to buy Phantom Squid Meat, and on their way home after purchasing the meat, they encountered a patrol dealing with a traitor from the Rat God Cult who had taken a hostage.

The hostage was one of his kindergarten teachers—Ms. Strawberry.

He threw stones at the traitor, rescuing the hostage, Ms. Strawberry.

Then, the traitor turned into a rat-like being and started a killing spree.

When everyone else was at a loss, a female Mechanically Modified Human arrived just in time, blasting a laser from her chest that turned the rat-man into char, before she left coolly.

And now, Lü Qingyu's master who appeared in the sky above the mall, was that very Mechanically Modified Human from back then.

Lin Zichen sized up Lü Qingyu's master.

Her equipment exuded a high-level feel.

She seemed far stronger than she was back then.

She could probably compare with a high-level Fifth Order Genetic Integrator.

It just goes to show that the strength of Mechanically Modified Humans increases rapidly.

As long as there are technological advancements, their strength can progress in an instant, without the need for hard training.

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, a sound of tearing through the air rang out.

The next second, Lü Qingyu's master was hit by a beam of light, her body severed in two, and she fell from the sky.

Lin Zichen was startled for a moment.

Coming to his senses, he immediately dispersed his spiritual power to use telekinesis, catching Lü Qingyu's bisected master and gently placing her beside Lü Qingyu.

Very agitated, Lü Qingyu exclaimed: "Master, are you alright?"

The female Mechanically Modified Human looked bewildered.

Only after hearing Lü Qingyu's cry did she come back to her senses and finally responded after several seconds: "I'm fine."

The female Mechanically Modified Human, with strength tens to hundreds of times greater than Lü Qingyu's, also didn't understand who had attacked her, or how she was attacked.

Because when the attack occurred, none of her various sensors had reacted.

By contrast, Lin Zichen's Danger Perception did react.

When previously attacked by three beams of light, he had instantly perceived the danger and its source.

This dangerous source was located on the rooftop of the high-rise building opposite the large mall!

"Han Han, stay put and don't wander off; I'll go take care of the assailant and be right back," he said.

After dropping these words, Lin Zichen forcefully pushed off the ground, creating a deep pit on the surface with spiderweb-like fractures, and shot out like a shadowy silhouette.

Before Shen Qinghan could react, he had already charged into the high-rise building across from the mall.

He could have chosen to use Qi-Blood to propel himself onto the rooftop of the opposite building.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he chose to sprint across the land.

The enemy concealed on the rooftop could attack from a distance; taking to the air was too conspicuous and would make him an easy target.

It was safer to move quickly across the land.

"Buzz—!"

With a prolonged whoosh, Lin Zichen quickly reached the rooftop of the high-rise building, and there in a corner, he spotted a massive figure.

It was a humanoid creature with three eyes.

Nearly four meters tall.

Every part of its body was filled with sturdy muscles, brimming with explosive strength.

The biological pressure it emitted was very close to a high-level Seventh Order.

It was a high-level Sixth Order Great Perfection!

```

"Lin Zichen, I was just about to come looking for you. I didn't expect you'd deliver yourself to me. You've saved me the effort,"

said the Three-Eyed Giant, looking at Lin Zichen with a smirk that barely concealed his disdain.

Can it speak human language?

Is this an Earthling who has undergone mutation?

No!

It's not an Earthling!

It's a creature from the Origin Land!

Inside its body lies an extremely unique energy source—Origin Force!

"I've heard your physical body is incredibly strong,"

"Just perfect. My race, the Three-Eyed Demon Tribe, is known for our physical might,"

"Now, let's see how strong your body really is!"

As the words fell, the member of the Three-Eyed Demon Tribe took a sprinter's start and instantly charged toward Lin Zichen.

Then, with a massive hand as thick as a bucket, he swung a punch with an earth-shattering force at Lin Zichen's chest.

Lin Zichen showed no fear, choosing instead to meet force with force and threw his fist out to collide with the incoming punch of the Three-Eyed Giant.

The next second!

A loud "bang" rang out.

The Three-Eyed Giant's arm, thick as a bucket, burst open upon contact, and with it, his shoulder and head also exploded.

Turning into a shower of blood.

He died on the spot.

"Thud!"

The corpse of the Three-Eyed Giant fell heavily to the ground.

Up until the moment of its death, the Three-Eyed Giant couldn't understand why it had lost.

When it had thrown its punch, it had deliberately avoided Lin Zichen's head.

Fearing that it might crush his skull with one punch.

And kill him instantly.

Preventing the Giant from taking him back to complete its task.

But the reality was that during the exchange of punches, it had been killed by a single punch without any chance to fight back, not even using the most powerful third eye on its forehead.

It died with its eyes wide open.

Looking down at the Three-Eyed Giant now dead beyond any doubt, Lin Zichen gave a high appraisal, "Truly a race known for their physical strength. That clash made my hand hurt a bit."

Without wasting any more time, he immediately went forward and crouched down to touch the corpse of the Three-Eyed Giant. With a "pfft," his hand stabbed into the place where the heart should be and pulled out a dark blue crystal.

The blue crystal was only the size of a table tennis ball.

Yet, it was filled with a huge amount of special energy.

"Is this a Beast Core?"

"I wonder what it can be traded for..."

Lin Zichen examined the blue crystal in his hand, muttering to himself.

His knowledge about Beast Cores was limited to the fact that they were filled with a large amount of Origin Force, and that they could be exchanged for Evolution Resources in the cities of the Origin Land.

Beyond that, he knew nothing.

After examining it for a while,

Lin Zichen quickly had a thought and stored the Beast Core in his Storage Space to keep it.

Planning to take it out later when he entered the Origin Land to see what good things he could trade for.

After securing the Beast Core,

Lin Zichen put his hand back on the corpse of the Three-Eyed Giant and with a thought, he activated: Devour!

[You have devoured a large amount of the Life Origin from the "Three-Eyed Demon Tribe"]

[Three-Eyed Demon Tribe Album: 100%]

As the textual information appeared, an image of a Three-Eyed Giant materialized in the void, using the third eye on its forehead to launch stealthy, glittering attacks from the shadows.

But in just a moment, the Exotic Beasts such as the Ferocious Great Eagle, the Phantom Squid, the Void Eel, and others were all shot down by it, turning into stiffened corpses.

Then, the images in the void dissipated, replaced by two new pieces of textual information.

[You have successfully unlocked the Three-Eyed Demon Tribe Album and acquired the Biometric Attribute—Power]

[Power: Your strength is significantly enhanced]

"Power?"

Having seen the content in the textual information, Lin Zichen felt quite surprised.

He had thought that unlocking the Three-Eyed Demon Tribe's album would grant him a Biometric Attribute related to eyesight.

Instead, he received a rather ordinary strength-based Biometric Attribute.

While Lin Zichen was taken aback,

a voice more astonished than his own suddenly sounded from behind him: "You actually have a means of storage, and you can devour Life Origin? Who on Earth are you?"
