I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 144 Dark Night Falls

Four cyan streams of light fell from the ancient tree and turned into four Daoist shadows one after another.

"Damn it!" As soon as the green light dissipated, Zhang Zhiming half-knelt down with a dull flame on his body, hitting the ground hard.

He naturally knew how adversely the four of them's deaths would have a negative impact on the entire war situation.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the daytime to split into three routes and destroy the opposite nodes, thereby avoiding his own shortcomings of difficulty in tacit cooperation and erasing the gap between the two sides.

Even if the opponent's team battle destroys one of your own lanes, other lanes can still be advanced.

But he did not expect that the power of the corpse tide would increase unexpectedly. Even though he and Xu Mengyun joined forces to cover a large area of ​​the battlefield with fireballs and sword light, they still could not withstand the surging corpse tide.

Without being able to advance, if their teammates suffer heavy losses, they will be at a disadvantage.

So in desperation, they had to go to check the situation, with the idea of ​​​​retreating immediately if nothing could be done, but they did not expect to be caught by the other party.

"Although I knew that the other party was prepared, I was really surprised that you killed four of them at once." Just when Zhang Zhiming was feeling annoyed alone, a cold voice came from behind.

"The three zombies, excluding Feitian Yaksha, besieged us regardless of the cost. They fought for their lives, maimed us, and then were harvested by the other party." Zhang Mengyao looked at Lin Chen who was striding towards us and said aloud.

"The main reason is still me. If it weren't for my reasons, the other party would not have seized the opportunity to destroy us." Wang Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said in a low voice.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying this now." Lin Chen glanced at them lightly, then looked towards the horizon.

At this moment, the sky is golden, the sun is setting, and night is about to fall.

"Under the influence of the fire of the sun during the day, Yin Qi and other things are scarce, and zombies, ghosts and other evil things are difficult to form, but the zombie tide is so powerful, let alone at night." Lin Chen said expressionlessly.

"I estimate that it is difficult to defend such a long front. Instead of sticking to the node tonight and being taken advantage of by the demon cultivators to break through, it is better to take the initiative."

"Huh?!" After hearing this, Zhang Zhiming suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "But with our current strength, we can't beat the opponent in a team battle."

Feitian Yaksha has killed four of them in a row, and his strength after evolving again is different from the past.

Coupled with the cooperation of the demon cultivators and the difficulty of forming a team on their side, in terms of overall strength, they are no match for their opponents.

"I'm not thinking about team battles. What I mean is to avoid the Xuanyin Sect Demonic Cultivators on the opposite side, move around as much as possible, kill the tide of zombies, and increase our strength."

"We can avoid being defeated by each other by walking together. The four of you, come together to protect me and give me the opportunity to grow. When the Late Stage comes, I will be in charge of the outcome of this battle."

Lin Chen said lightly.

"This..." Zhang Zhiming and others were stunned. They naturally understood what Lin Chen meant.

It means giving up the defense of the entire front, and even his own development opportunities, to provide Lin Chen with growth.

This is equivalent to a huge gamble, involving the tree people army, the spiritual tree nodes, and even themselves, betting that Lin Chen can turn the tide and win the battle!

"Have you grown to the Late Stage to be able to fight one against five, or even fight back against zombies?" Zhang Zhiming couldn't help but question.

"If I didn't have this ability, why would Grandmaster Gold Core designate me as the true successor?" Lin Chen said lightly.

Although Evergreen Perfected Being does not mean this, they put the victory or defeat of Soul Formation on Lin Chen, so it is not wrong to say so.

"..."

Zhang Zhiming and others were silent for a while, and finally the former said: "This is still too risky. With the opponent's advantage, once the node is lost, it will be very difficult for us to get it back."

"So we'd better find a way to survive tonight first, and we'll talk about this tomorrow."

Although he said it politely, the refusal in his tone was very obvious.

'It's really troublesome...'

After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. He knew clearly that the reason why Zhang Zhiming refused was ultimately a matter of distrust.

Because of their distrust, they were unable to obey the orders of others regardless of their lives in a life-and-death battle, which resulted in them being unable to fight in groups.

And because they don't trust him, they naturally won't put all their bets on Lin Chen.

‘Evergreen Perfect Being was originally intended to prevent my news from being revealed, but I didn’t expect it to become an obstacle to forming a group. However, even in a team fight, when each other is wary of each other and it is difficult to cooperate effectively, it may be easier for the opponent to defeat them. ’

Although the Soul Formation fell, before the original ancient trees in this area were conquered, they were equivalent to immortal existences.

But the battles that Zhang Zhiming and others have experienced for many years are all battles of life and death. Once a battle occurs, they are more concerned about how to retreat safely to protect themselves. After all, only the living have everything.

This kind of inertial thinking causes them to not fight desperately unless they are in desperate situations.

Naturally, it is impossible to do what was done in previous games, destroying the opponent's output at any cost, or protecting one's key teammates with one's life.

"In that case, let's all rely on our abilities." Lin Chen was silent for a moment and then said.

It is impossible to force, so everyone can only rely on their own abilities.

"Be careful." Zhang Zhiming nodded and said, and then left with Zhang Mengyao.

As they left, Zhang Hao stood up from the ground without saying a word and ran back to his original position.

Um?

Lin Chen looked at his back and his eyes moved.

Because he suddenly noticed a problem. When he was talking to Zhang Zhiming and the others just now, it seemed that Zhang Hao didn't say a word.

Although he himself is a man of few words, because he may have too many secrets hidden in him, but after analyzing the situation just now, such silence seems a bit... wrong?

'Such an unfavorable situation has arisen, but just now, he was unexpectedly silent...'

Lin Chen stroked his chin and thought for a while, but had no clue.

‘Forget it, I don’t have the heart to care about this guy. I just hope he won’t cause trouble to me at the critical moment. ’

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at Wang Cheng, nodded, and motioned for him to follow, lest the other party send him off again.

The latter glanced at him gratefully and followed him directly without quarreling, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the jungle.

The sun sets in the west, and as time goes by, night begins to fall slowly.

In the forest, the birth rate of tree people began to slow down. On the contrary, in the boundless cemetery, one after another rotten hands stretched out from the black mud and rushed towards the forest!

Countless zombies were densely packed together, and the rich death aura spread like a tide, turning into a tide, impacting the forest and the tree people layer by layer, making the latter's defense line precarious.

Roar!

A zombie with a intact body and black hair in many places on its body had a hint of beast-like cunningness in its cloudy pupils. Then, while a tree man was being surrounded by other zombies, he struck out fiercely. Pounce!

Uh-huh!

However, this attack not only did not kill the tree man, but the zombie was directly cut into several pieces!

Then, on the long front, beside some remaining tree men, zombies flew over one after another, splitting into countless pieces in mid-air!

Black flesh and blood spattered everywhere, and the traces of the shot vaguely traced invisible, colorless, but extremely sharp threads in the air.

This is Lin Chen's spiritual thread technique, and he has returned to the battlefield!

"Although it took some time to exchange information on the way, fortunately it's not too late." Lin Chen's figure appeared directly among the tree people army.

He looked around at the surrounding environment and was about to command the tree people army to move forward.

But suddenly, he saw balls of corpse liquid flying out from behind the tide of corpses, hitting the tree men hard, corroding the spiritual threads wrapped around them.

"This is... the Fatty Corpse King and the Corpse?" Upon seeing this, Lin Chen immediately jumped into the air and quickly saw the attacker clearly, "Use the corpse odor to lock the position of my spiritual thread, and then Use corpse liquid for corrosion?"

After the exchange of information, he naturally knew the other party's abilities.

"Interesting, it seems that no one is a fool. With the same method, as long as the essence is discovered, you can still find a certain way to deal with it." Lin Chen couldn't help but sneered when he saw this scene.

"Then Senior Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Wang Cheng, who was following behind, asked.

He did not hesitate to follow Lin Chen's lead. After all, these days, whoever is more capable will listen to him. Wang Cheng still understands this.

"Go straight up." Lin Chen said expressionlessly, "There are already two people on Zhang Mengyao's side, which means there are only three people on the other side."

"And the Feitian Yaksha on the other side is developing too well, so we must stop it!"

This time Lin Chen decided to use himself as bait to attract most of the opponent's combat power to prevent other places from being breached and causing the situation to become unbalanced.

Of course, this is also very dangerous, but if Lin Chen dares to do this, he naturally has support!

After this period of analysis and transformation, he has successfully transformed the Spirit Bullet Technique and Water Blade Technique, and his attack power has been qualitatively improved. If he returns to the original situation of being besieged, he is confident that he will destroy the opponent!

'But if there is another chance in the future, it's better not to form a team. It's too difficult to lead pig teammates...' This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind.

Then he spread his hands, and the shadow of a spiritual tree appeared in his hands.

It looks like Tangli, with yellow flowers and green trees, and there are rippling water at the bottom of the tree.

This is——[Shatang]!

This is a legendary spiritual plant. Eating it can control water and prevent people from drowning. It is also a strange plant that can control the spiritual water in the world!

In the place where Soul Formation fell, the conversion of spells requires the corresponding ability of the spiritual plant to appear, and Shatang's corresponding ability is water control.

In an instant, a ten-meter-sized water balloon condensed and took shape in Lin Chen's hands, and flew over the tide of corpses.

Then, countless water jets splashed out, lifting up layers of splashing heads and bodies in the tide of corpses, like lotuses of death!
