Chapter 172 - 172: 172: Thunderstorm Inside the Star Fruit Tree (6th update)

However, just yesterday, Lin Zhen discovered that Tang Yu had left the Sky Dome and was currently heading east towards the Star Fruit Tree. Calculating the actual distance, it wasn’t too far from the Beehive.

At this point, Lin Zhen had a feeling that it was highly likely that Tang Yu had obtained the special stargem at this stage and had learned the method of psychokinesis teleportation.

So Lin Zhen made up his mind to leave immediately.

After giving a brief explanation to his teammates, Lin Zhen left the tree hole.

As he stepped out of the tree hole, he just happened to run into Captain Wang of the Western Third Group.

Although this guy acted like a grandson when he was with the Four Gods of Sky Dome, they didn’t treat him badly. Most of the stargems in the west were taken by their group, and sometimes they would even give him some benefits, which made his cultivation speed even faster than before.

Among ordinary martial artists, Captain Wang was quite arrogant, and was constantly surrounded by people flattering him.

So when he saw Lin Zhen, Captain Wang smugly said, “Oh, well, well, who do we have here? Isn’t this Lin Zhen, the captain of the genius team? Why haven’t we seen your Fourth Group in the west recently?”

One of the martial artists nearby immediately chimed in, “Isn’t it obvious? What’s the point of him going there? He won’t get a single stargem, so it would be a wasted trip. It’s better to stay in the tree hole like a shrinking turtle.”

“Lin Zhen, as fellow Beehive martial artists, let me give you some advice. Why don’t you use your brain a bit? Since you can’t make it in the west, why not try the east? Start afresh and challenge yourself there, at least you’ll have some gains every day. Just sitting and doing nothing won’t help you improve. Oh, wait, you don’t even have a mountain to consume, so you can’t even eat. All you can do is drink the northwest wind, hahaha!”

Captain Wang sneered, “It’s useless for him to change locations. The Four Gods have said that they will completely strangle Lin Zhen here. If he goes to the east, the Four Gods will follow him there. If he doesn’t go, they won’t move. Let’s see what he can do.”

“Well, you’re done for, Lin Zhen. Why don’t you just go back to the Ant Nest? At least you can get a Planet Crystal every day, which is better than nothing.

Maybe in ten or eight years, you can compress a few more Dantian qi layers. Am I right?”

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Lin Zhen’s face turned cold: “If you continue to gossip, believe it or not, I’ll execute you all right now!”

“You… do you dare? Aren’t you afraid of the Four Gods?” Captain Wang shuddered in fear.

Before Lin Zhen could answer, Dong Shencai appeared.

As she came over, the temperature around them dropped several degrees.

“Miss Dong, this Lin Zhen is so rude, he dared to disrespect the Four Gods, I was teaching him a lesson on your behalf….”

“Slap!”

Before Captain Wang could finish his sentence, he was slapped hard by Dong Shencai and knocked to the ground.

“Miss Dong, you…?” Captain Wang looked at Dong Shencai in disbelief. Weren’t they supposed to be on the same side?

“The battle between the Four Gods and Lin Zhen is our business, not something you bunch of wannabe clowns can get involved in. If anyone comes to harass him again, I’ll slaughter them on the spot. Leave!”

Captain Wang led a few others to flee, rolling and crawling away. Lin Zhen looked at Dong Shencai, “Why did you do that?”

“Nothing, I just can’t stand petty people. Lin Zhen, are you leaving?”

“Might as well go for a walk since there’s not much to do here.” Lin Zhen replied.

“Alright then, if I were you, I would make the same choice. The Star Fruit Tree is enormous, and there might be opportunities outside. However, don’t get your hopes up too high; you won’t stand a chance.”

“Really? I’d like to give it a try.”

“Very well, I’ll wait for you to come back and then take your life.” Saying this, Dong Shencai slowly left.

Lin Zhen glanced at her receding figure. Although this woman was cold-hearted, she wasn’t a petty person and couldn’t be considered evil.

Without lingering in the Beehive any longer, Lin Zhen left.

As soon as he was out of the Beehive, Lin Zhen took out his locator and looked in the direction of Tang Yu.

He found that Tang Yu was now even closer to the east, and he would be at the edge of the Star Fruit Tree in just ten more kilometers.

“What is this guy doing on the edge? Never mind, I’ll catch up and see.”

Lin Zhen stepped on his shield and ascended into the sky. With his current strength, there were hardly any insects in the Star Fruit Tree that he needed to fear, so he could fly freely.

As he ascended, Lin Zhen held the locator in his hand and headed east towards Tang Yu.

He hadn’t been out for a long time, but the outside world was still the same. There were branches and leaves everywhere, with no changes to be seen.

However, when Lin Zhen came out, he found the surrounding sky to be dim, and even foggy between the trees, as if it was about to rain.

Due to the height of the Star Fruit Tree, there wasn’t much rain inside. Only when the rain clouds were high would there be raindrops in the tree, and even then, it wouldn’t be too heavy, as the leaves were blocking the rainfall.

It was said that if one wanted to experience the atmosphere of rain, they had to go to the edge of the Star Fruit Tree. Could it be that Tang Yu went there to watch the rain? Lin Zhen shook his head, thinking that this speculation was unreliable.

Accelerating beneath his feet, Lin Zhen’s current Dark Gold Stage spiritual power was enough to support him for a long time in flight. On the way, any bug that dared to disturb him was easily killed by a single spear. Only crystals with higher value would be collected.

After flying for at least two hours and approaching noon, Lin Zhen checked his locator and found that he was less than a kilometer away from Tang Yu.

Slowing down slightly, Lin Zhen examined his surroundings closely.

He was now nearing the edge of the Star Fruit Tree area, and occasionally, glimpses of daylight could be seen.

At the outer region, there were large areas covered with leaves, which had strong corrosive properties and could sense anything approaching. No one would dare go near them.

As he continued to fly slowly for a while, Lin Zhen heard voices talking. Tang

Yu was nearby.

“Oh, so he’s not alone.”

Lin Zhen landed, put away his shield, and stealthily approached Tang Yu’s direction.

After lifting some leaves, an open area appeared in front of him. It was the very edge of the Star Fruit Tree area.

Two people – there were two people here.

Lin Zhen saw Tang Yu, whom he hadn’t seen in more than two years. The young man seemed more mature, stronger, and had significantly improved his realm. Tang Yu had actually reached the fourth level of Dantian Qi

Compression, improving even faster than Li Changying and Jiang Huai.

“It seems like the Sky Dome is indeed a high-yield area for star crystals. Tang Yu has progressed so much.”

Tang Yu still wore the headband he had back then, which he seemed to treasure very much without realizing a needle made of soft metal was concealed inside it, revealing his location.

Another person was with him, and Lin Zhen recognized him too.

Zhou Butong!

The actual ruler of the Beehive, Zhou Butong, was together with Tang Yu.

The two were sitting in the open area, looking at the scenery outside.

“Ah, how I miss going out, it’s been more than two years, ” Tang Yu said.

“You’re doing better than me. It’s only been just over two years for you, but I’ve been here for six years and never went out. I haven’t even seen the blue sky.”

“It’s fine here. Can’t you see the outside sky faintly through these branches?”

“Hehe, whether the sky is blue or not doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is having greater strength. I have set my sights on reaching the sixth level of Dantian Qi Compression. Beyond that would be unattainable for me, but if I can obtain a Special Stargem before then, I will be satisfied.”

Tang Yu said, “I should be doing better than you. I estimate my limit is at the seventh level of compression, but the Constant Star Crystals within the Sky Dome are somewhat scarce. To enhance my power quickly, I have to search more outside. Had I not accidentally overheard you, I wouldn’t have come on this trip.”

Zhou Butong replied, “Sigh, we agreed that I found this Special Stargem, so when the time comes, I’ll take the special one for myself, and you can have the pile of ordinary ones left behind. That way, you can easily reach the fifth, or even sixth level.”

“I know, I know. We’ve agreed that the special one is yours, and the rest will be mine. After all, you discovered it, and I’m just following on this trip. Of course, I won’t take the Special Stargem.”

Zhou Butong glanced at Tang Yu, not afraid that Tang Yu would renege since his strength was above Tang Yu’s.

Tang Yu asked, “But we are already at the edge of the fruit tree, where is the special crystal you mentioned?”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. I discovered it by chance, and Special Stargems aren’t easy to find. How many Special Stargems have appeared in such a large area in the Sky Dome all these years? We have to wait for the rain. When it rains heavily, we will be more or less there. If you’re impatient, just pray for a heavier rain and more thunder.”

“Rain? What does rain and thunder have to do with this?” Tang Yu asked.

“I’m not quite sure. All I know is that last time I saw it, it was during a thunderstorm. If I could have harvested it by myself, I wouldn’t need your help. ”

“Alright, since we are here, we might as well wait for the rain.”

As they chatted idly, Tang Yu occasionally mentioned Lin Zhen and the deep resentment he had for him in his words.

Lin Zhen listened from afar, a smile on his lips.

Gradually, the branches swayed, and a breeze began to blow.

“A breeze! It’s going to rain! It’s so rare to wait for rain here!” Zhou Butong exclaimed.

The dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, pushing menacingly towards the Star Fruit Tree.

“Such thick dark clouds! Great, perfect! This rain will definitely be heavy, and we’ll probably see the Special Stargem!”

Within the black clouds, a golden snake leapt about, and lightning tore through the sky.

“Boom!”

A sudden clap of thunder echoed in the sky, making their eardrums throb.

Bean-sized raindrops fell, and the Star Fruit Tree welcomed a rare thunderstorm..
