Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Battle for the Yellow Gemstone

Translator: 549690339

The spring breeze in the night gradually grew stronger, and the fine spring rain fell in the Heavenly Garden, making the night even darker.

At this time, anyone with gemstone fragments emitting a treasure light on their body wouldn't dare to walk in the dark night, because they would certainly become the target of others' hunts.

Lin Zhen climbed onto a tall peony, and found a blue gemstone fragment in the stamen.

“Phew! I thought there would be many gemstone fragments in the garden, but we can't just knock down the flowers indiscriminately. The searching speed is not even as fast as in the grassland.”

In such a situation, Lin Zhen naturally could not be as unbridled as in the grassland, and the searching speed for the gemstones became slower and slower.

Moreover, in the night, the sound of fighting could still be heard from afar. The night rain couldn't curb the War Gods' enthusiasm to search for gemstone fragments, and battles occurred from time to time.

Leaning on the petals and looking at the night sky, a scream came from a distance.

“Someone died again, quite lively fight.”

He closed his eyes and dozed off, not knowing how much time had passed, and felt that someone climbed up to the other side of the peony flower.

As Lin Zhen opened his eyes, the Tyrant Spear immediately attacked!

The person on the other side was also very alert, both of them shot almost at the same time. Lin Zhen's Tyrant Spear collided with the opponent's long sword, and after a crisp sound, they both felt that the opponent was tough, and they took a step back.

“Lin Zhen?” The person on the other side spoke.

“You are… Duo Long?” Lin Zhen also saw the opponent. He had seen him in

promotional posters, the War God Duo Long from the Ice City Chang Feng.

Lin Zhen was still somewhat vigilant towards the Long Wind Martial Arts Academy, Duo Long was one of Chang Feng's people, and a member of the Hall of Fame, so Lin Zhen needed to be on guard against him possibly making a move against him.

Especially with the rich treasure light on Lin Zhen's body, he was more likely to become the target of others' attacks.

Duo Long's treasure light was also quite splendid. Seeing Lin Zhen's defensive action, he hurriedly waved his hand: “Don't fight, we are both Hua Xia people, there are foreigners everywhere here, we shouldn't kill each other.”

Lin Zhen looked at Duo Long's tone and sensed some sincerity. He slowly put down the Tyrant Spear: “If that's the case, it's best.”

He glanced at the treasure light on Duo Long's body and said, “You haven't got the Yellow Gemstone Fragments either?”

Just like himself, the light on Duo Long's body was also red and blue.

“No, these Yellow Gemstone Fragments are really hard to find. I've encountered many people, and none of them got a Yellow Gemstone.” Duo Long sat down.

“I think they should be in a more dangerous place.” Lin Zhen said.

“They should be. But it will be dawn soon, and if we still haven't obtained a Yellow Gemstone in the summer, we will have to leave. In the autumn, we must reach the creek, otherwise, we may not be able to get the promotion seat.” Duo Long said.

Lin Zhen nodded, agreeing with Duo Long's words.

Duo Long hesitated for a moment, then spoke, “Lin Zhen, we are not familiar with each other, but there is something I want to ask you.”

“Please speak.”

“Some people say that your girlfriend is Su Mingyue, the Saintess of the Divine Sect, is this true?”

Lin Zhen glanced at Duo Long, feeling that he seemed to have no malice. There was nothing shameful about this matter, so he nodded, “Yes.”

“Well, I really envy you. But Lin Zhen, I also grew up in Ice City since I was young, and I'm several years older than you. When I was young, I was sponsored by An Group, so I know An Ning, the young lady of An family, and I also know some stories about you.”

“An Ning! Where is she?” Lin Zhen hadn't seen An Ning for a long time, and he didn't even know her current situation. Hearing news about An Ning all of sudden, he was surprised and happy.

Duo Long shook his head, “I don't know where An Ning has gone. She has left Ice City for three years, and the An family has kept her whereabouts a secret, and never told anyone. However… ”

Duo Long paused for a moment, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, “Please tell me where she is.”

“What's the point of telling you? You already have Su Mingyue.” Duo Long opened his mouth indifferently.

Lin Zhen looked up at the night sky, “I never said I would give up on An Ning.

Even if you don't tell me, I will find her sooner or later.”

“You mean… do you still like An Ning?” Duo Long asked tentatively.

“No comment. If you're willing to say it, then say it. If you're unwilling, then leave. I will find her even if it's the ends of the earth.” Lin Zhen closed his eyes.

“Fine, it seems that you still like her.” Duo Long sighed helplessly, “Then I'll tell you. Before the War God's Knockout started, I went to the An Group and accidentally heard someone say that their young lady had returned. I paid close attention and indeed saw An Ning.”

“Did you really see her?” Lin Zhen opened his eyes in an instant.

“Of course, but after not seeing her for three years, An Ning is already a War God. I have a feeling that if we actually fought, I might not even be her opponent.”

“An Ning has become a War God? She has returned? But why hasn't she made an appearance?”

“I don't know about that. I originally thought she would participate in the War God's Knockout. I also checked all the people who signed up for the competition in Ice City, and there was no An Ning's name among them. This matter is a bit strange.

Duo Long said this, and then jumped down from the flower, “That's all I Imow, maybe you two still have a chance to meet. I'm leaving.”

Duo Long's figure disappeared into the darkness, but Lin Zhen remained seated and motionless.

In that case, the person who left a message for him in the publicity area of Dongcheng District should be An Ning, but where is she?

Lin Zhen never expected An Ning to become so powerful that even a Hall of Fame's War God like Duo Long felt that he was not a match for her. What had she experienced these past few years?

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and quietly adjusted his breath while meditating.

After a night of wind and rain, the morning sun rose in the east. Summer had arrived.

Lin Zhen looked at the sea of flowers and felt that the moment the sunlight shone, there was a golden glow in the distance.

“Yellow Gemstone!”

Lin Zhen jumped up abruptly, rushing towards the place where the golden light was shining.

Not only Lin Zhen saw it. Many other War Gods from other places saw it too, and they all came out of their hiding spots, quickly running through the sea of flowers.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhen arrived at the place where the golden light was shining.

When he arrived, there were already quite a few people there, all looking up into the sky.

Lin Zhen also looked up, and finally figured out where the yellow gemstone was.

A sunflower with a trunk thick enough for dozens of people to hug stood tall in the sky. The giant flower head facing the sun occasionally emitted a golden glow, which was the Yellow Gemstone Fragment.

“Sunflower! It's a sunflower! So the yellow gemstone is born from bathing in sunlight, and sunflowers are the place that receives the most sunlight. There are yellow gemstones there!”

The martial artists were getting restless. Ten yellow gemstone fragments were equivalent to a High-Grade Celestial Device, and even if they couldn't collect ten fragments, a single fragment was worth a billion. If they could get one, it would be worth coming to the Heavenly Garden this time.

Some War Gods couldn't help themselves and wanted to pluck the Yellow Gemstone.

Since the Heavenly Garden prohibited flying, they could only climb up to reach higher altitudes.

Two War Gods arrived earlier and were already climbing the trunk, but the people below thought they might get the majority of the gemstones. These two suddenly screamed and fell from the trunk.

Both of them were covered in black, and before they hit the ground, they turned into a flash of light and disappeared.

“The trunk of the sunflower is covered with caterpillars!”

Someone shouted, and everyone saw that there were many gigantic caterpillars crawling on the trunk, slowly moving upwards.

Each of these caterpillars was as big as a yacht, covered in black and yellow bristles that seemed to contain deadly poison, making people shudder at the sight.

With such large and poisonous creatures, and in such great numbers, the trunk was definitely not a viable path.

People's eyes then fell on the surrounding morning glory vines.

Because sunflowers grow very tall, they were almost the tallest plant in the

Heavenly Garden. Many morning glories attached themselves to the

sunflowers, forming several green passages around them.

“What are we waiting for? Go!”

A War God from the African Union took the lead to climb a vine and quickly moved upwards.

As he did so, many others followed suit.

Around this sunflower, there were more than a dozen vines hanging over it. Hundreds of War Gods rushed out of the surrounding area to find nearby vines to climb.

Just as the War God from the African Union climbed up and passed a morning glory flower, the huge bell-like mouth of the morning glory suddenly bit down like a giant mouth.

The African Union War God didn't have time to dodge and was instantly swallowed by the morning glory.

A white light flashed, and the War God was eliminated from the competition. A few gemstone fragments fell, most of them red, and a few blue ones.

Instead of retreating because of his death, the War Gods behind him believed they could still avoid the morning glory flowers. Besides, the shiny yellow gemstones already aroused the deep desires in their hearts, and they continued to move forward one after another.

Lin Zhen also made his move, first flying upward to a height of about ten meters, and then quickly climbing to catch up with the last person. Then he teleported!

The higher they went, the less effective the teleportation would be. Lin Zhen's teleportation covered only ten meters.

Teleport again!

After another seven or eight meters, Lin Zhen finally surpassed the other War Gods who were ahead.

He couldn't teleport in the restricted airspace anymore, so Lin Zhen began to climb quickly.

A Brazilian War God behind him roared. He was initially in the first place, but he couldn't accept being suddenly overtaken by Lin Zhen. He pulled out a long knife and was about to attack Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen suddenly turned his hand, and countless flashes of lightning surged. The energy ball ruthlessly rolled down, knocking the Brazilian War God off the vine!

Not only Lin Zhen did this, but many other powerful War Gods also started to clear out their competitors.

One after another, weaker War Gods were knocked down by them. The battle for the yellow gemstones on this sunflower was a battlefield only for the strong..
