Chapter 483: 483
Biohazard Troop
Dozens of Eye of Lucius came riding the wind and surrounded the area from a distance. Four Elemental Cannon Mages were deployed on each hot air balloon, accumulating Mana.
Farther away, the magic formation had already been deployed. A troop of ice crystal crossbowmen from the Blue Wave Province was urgently moving towards this place. The high-level mages were patrolling in the sky, and the Horned Eagle Air Cavalrymen who had received the Phoenix King’s order were also hovering nearby. They were closely monitored inside and outside.
Everyone was on guard.
It was said that a strange phenomenon had happened.
However, whether it was humans or elves, soldiers or spellcasters, they had received news that two recon mages had been attacked. They knew that something strange had happened here. They had received the order, and they carried out the order. They sealed the place, stayed on guard, and waited for instructions. However, when they saw the scene from afar, all the creatures had the same thought.
.. Was this necessary?
They saw black smoke and dust drifting in the sky.
Then, the target area was completely plowed. It should have been a dense forest, but it was almost uprooted at this moment. It was destroyed by the violent power of the flames. People had heard the rumbling thunder earlier. Some even heard the faint shouts of the green-skinned creatures. Big explosion!”
It was obvious that an unimaginable power had destroyed this area and turned it into scorched earth.
As a result, the soldiers and mages who followed up with the lockdown only saw the vegetation that was scattered all over the place. The remnants of the flames were burning fiercely, and the various fragments that were difficult to distinguish were mixed together. The air was filled with the smell of charred decay, mixed with the smell of sulfur, as if it had come from hell.
Looking down from the sky, a part of the lush green land had been gouged out. The ugly scar was emitting thick smoke, and the faint flames were still spreading. It was simply like the scene of a demon invasion.
The Forbidden Mage, His Highness Kant, was a very presentable person.
On the command center platform of the hot air balloon, Stella sighed.
She said to Kant,” Although I know you must have your reasons for doing this, I still have mixed feelings when I saw the picturesque green forest become like this. You should cherish it a little. This is also a land that you and Tina are qualified to inherit.” It’s too…”
Kant shrugged.” They’ve all made their move. They’re so fierce. I have to fight back.”
” That’s why you launched such a powerful spell attack that can destroy an army formation?” Stella was both angry and amused. Save a little.”
“This is how our village fights,” Kant said proudly.
Explode for me, explode for me, explode for me again.
The Second Princess shook her head.” It’s too extravagant to do this. The excess power means a lot of unnecessary burdens. You…”
Kant said seriously,” You think it’s extravagant because you’re standing on top of it and observing it after the fact. The warriors who are responsible for scouting and searching in the depths of the area and charging at the front will definitely think that the more attacks like this, the better.”
Stella’s face changed slightly. She turned around and rolled her eyes secretly.
She stole a glance at Kant again. When she saw that he did not have a mocking expression on his face, she snorted.
” Besides,” the Second Princess said,” if the dragons we’re looking for are down there, what if you kill them in this round?”
“That’s a pity.” Kant tidied his hair.” But perhaps this is life.”
“.. Hey!”
Seeing the second princess frown, Kant explained,” Alright, alright. I’m just joking. I’ve checked the area before. There aren’t any large lifeforms in this area. Instead, they’ve all become very strange. So, you know, I can only ferry them all. It’s also a solution to their suffering.”
“So…” Stella asked. What was that? I heard from the report that we encountered a group of mutated birds. Those birds were distorted by some unknown force and displayed extremely strong aggression…”
“.. How would I know?” ” I don’t know anything about this continent.” Kant shook his head.
The Second Princess said,”Then we’ll have to leave it to the demon hunters, naturalists, and spellcasters to judge.” After the rain spell has controlled the fire, we will send a special service team to take a few samples.”
“I can go,” Kant said.
” No need,” Stella frowned.” It’s better to leave it to the professionals.”
.. To send his head?
A bunch of warriors, mages, priests, druids, and so on, wearing all kinds of armor and holding all kinds of weapons, running down the mountain, chatting and pushing the plot, and then being parasitized by a terrifying and strange substance and wiped out?
Kant shook his head and said,” I’ll just make a trip there. You haven’t seen what that bird looks like. It’s been deformed by the disgusting purple substance. According to my guess, it’s probably some corrosive power. From many classic plots, rashly coming into contact with that substance is likely to cause the risk of parasitism and infection, which will lead to rapid transmission between humans…In short, it’s still…”
“This is exactly what I wanted to say.” Stella said,” Leave it to the professionals.”
Kant wanted to say something more, but he soon saw a ” professional.”
Thick, fully-enclosed protective armor, a built-in breather, a windshield that shone with magical light, and a plate armor made of copper that was engraved with sacred patterns. It could resist 436 curses discovered so far and resist the parasitism of 56 dangerous microorganisms from other planes, including demon worms. The obelisk in the center provided a full-body purification effect that could be used once every ten minutes and once every ten seconds when overloaded.
The style of the five-man team was simply shocking. Other than the generally similar equipment, the equipment they held was also different. It was obvious that the priest was holding a Book of Holy Word that could detect evil. The leader was holding a heavy tower shield that was two people tall. Needless to say, self-defense equipment such as a mace was not needed.
One of them was actually carrying something that looked like an agricultural pesticide. There were carvings of angels and the sun on the surface. When he asked, he found out that it was filled with high-concentration holy water…
“For purification.” “It’s more efficient than the Light Cleansing Spell, and it saves a lot of effort,” the priest said in a muffled voice.
.. Fuck.
Was this a f * cking biochemical army from another world?!
Kant felt as if he had been slapped in the face. This was also the wisdom of the otherworld. Stella, who was behind him, explained,” Ever since the birth of our civilization, we have similar records. Strange curses, unknown parasites, plagues, corruption, and corruption of unknown forces. Magic provides a ladder to the supernatural, but it also attracts evil covetous eyes. We draw power from it and are always ready to fight back against those who spy on us with ill intentions.”
” Because the world is so unknown and so vast, caution is the highest choice when coming into contact with any mysterious unknown. Every year, the Life Safety Department of the Arcane Magic Council revises the latest First Contact Guide, listing the steps, plans, and suggestions for dealing with dangerous things.”
” Don’t underestimate us,” the Second Princess said.” Do you think we’ll only send a few defenseless soldiers to their deaths when we’re faced with mysterious and unknown things?”
Stop fighting, stop fighting.
” Please.” Kant raised his hand.” Please.”
Stella smiled.
The hot-air balloon carrying the professionals moved toward the destination. Kant even saw a mage in the pod take out a large bundle of rope-like objects from the equipment storage. He then fastened three locks on the three fixed points of the hot-air balloon.
Are you really mages?
“Aren’t you going to take a look?” Stella asked.
” Huh?” Kant turned around.
The wind blew the Second Princess ‘hair. Stella turned her head and smiled gently at him.” Now I understand why Tina can’t forget you. When she just came back, I asked her how she felt about you and why she liked you. She blushed for a long time and said that you were very special.”
” I was laughing at her at that time. I thought that the so-called special was just a girl’s subjective feeling of liking someone. But now, it seems that you are indeed very special…”
“You are clearly a peerless expert who possesses great strength and the confidence to be arrogant and prejudiced. You can look down on us, but after I pointed out your mistake, you only felt embarrassed and not angry…What did this mean? It means that no matter what your identity is, no matter what you do, no matter what power you possess, your heart probably hasn’t changed at all…”
” It’s really special,” Stella chuckled.
Kant was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said,” I underestimated you. I looked at you with a sense of superiority. I reminded myself not to do that, but…Sigh, he’s just a mortal after all.”
“What’s wrong?” he asked, noticing that Stella was still smiling at him.
The second princess shrugged like Kant. She blinked and smiled.” Let’s put it this way. If an elf were to say with a troubled and self-deprecating expression that he should not underestimate humans, that he often reminded himself not to do so, but that he could not change certain natures, and that he was seriously reflecting and nagging, what do you think I would think?”
“.. Hmm?”
“I will.” Stella blinked.” This guy is quite cute.”
Kant’s expression froze.
The second princess pushed Kant and urged him.” Go now. Although you lack sufficient professional knowledge and protective equipment, you can make use of your advantages to take care of and protect them from afar. Even if they are fully armed and supported by theories, what these brave people are doing is still the most dangerous job in the world…Every time they step onto the battlefield, they have the awareness they deserve. Please give them peace of mind.”
At the same time, the dragon roared leisurely. Lily flapped her wings and flew past not far away. The strong wind blew the gondola gently. A figure sat on the dragon’s neck. Ah Xing’s short, flame-like hair fluttered in the air. He waved his hand and shouted.
“Kant!” Ah Xing shouted,” Come and ride her with me!”
The silly girl’s shout echoed in the air.
Kant heard Stella spit in a low voice. She pushed him again.” Go now. I need to direct other work. I need to clean up the mess you’ve made.”
Kant summoned Horus from the White Fog World, who was reloading his ammunition and changing his accessories. He put on his battle suit and flew across the sky. After flying for a while, he suddenly shouted.
Wait, did she flirt with me?
“Father, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing?”
“Really?”
“It’s really nothing.”
” Then why are you screaming as if you’ve finally understood the secret confession message left by the class belle you had a crush on when you graduated five years ago?”
“What’s with this strange description!”
“I was wrong. This analogy is not appropriate. No one will confess to you, Father.”
“-that’s not where I’m wrong!”
” Come with us, Kant!” Ah Xing shouted as the white dragon flew behind him. It’s super cool up there!”
” Get her down!” Lily said angrily.
“I won’t, I won’t!” The gorilla hugged Lily’s neck and did a 360-degree turn. Ever since Lily had transformed into her dragon form, the gorilla had found a new toy. After all, the golden retriever was not around, so her vigilance had dropped significantly. She no longer stuck to Kant’s side to keep watch. It was really fun to go for a ride.
“I’m going down to take a look. You guys stay here and be on guard.” Kant said to Lily,” How is it? Do you feel it? Are those dragons here?”
Although they had discovered strange phenomena and corrupted creatures here, they were not sure if it was related to the missing dragons. Therefore, further investigation was needed.
If it were two completely different things, then it would be f * cked up.
Lily shook her head.” The smell down there is extremely rotten. I can’t sense the scent of my own kind. It might have been covered up.” I suggest that we investigate this thoroughly, Kant.”
“Then let’s wait and see.”
The jet descended, and the battle suit swept toward a low altitude.
Not far away, the five-person Bio-Experimental team slid down from the descending balloon.
They landed one by one.
The defenders raised their shields, the alchemists activated their mechanical dogs, the explorers opened the Book of Holy Words to detect evil, the support priests held a mace in one hand and a holy water spray tube in the other, and the spellcasters ‘staffs lit up with magical light. They walked towards the mission area and the ruins that Kant had blown up.
A familiar voice sounded from the walkie-talkie.” Everyone, this is Kant. I will provide aerial reconnaissance and fire support. Keep in touch. Continue moving forward.”
” Roger. Thank you, Your Highness Kant. Mission in progress.”
They stepped on the soft soil and walked into the scorched earth. The alchemist held something similar to a minesweeper close to the ground and searched left and right. The alchemical mechanical dog walked beside them, scanning the surroundings with its red eyes.
” Take soil samples and conduct preliminary analysis. Unusual soil structure and changed elemental composition.”
The spellcaster took out a small box and activated the additional spell of the tactical glove. The Void Grasp took a small ball of soil from afar to avoid direct contact and sealed it in the box that he carried with him.
” Discovered biological matter, visible aberrations, obvious mutations in tissue structure…”
They moved forward for a short while, searching for more complete clues and samples. The mage reported the results of his observation as he moved forward.” The oak leaves that have been tested have not changed. They are not the common twenty-four aberrations. The specific conclusion requires further experiments and verification. We need a larger sample, and it would be best if it is complete…Well, at least we have to look for it.”
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Dust and debris flew everywhere. The terrifying shock waves and explosions destroyed everything nearby. They wanted to find the complete remains…It was a little difficult.
” The preliminary investigation of the ecological structure is as follows: Life sensing magic shows that there are very few signs of blood of normal organisms. There are no creatures of all levels in the normal jungle ecosystem here. All the remains found so far are from birds, and no remains of beasts have been found. Major records, major signs, need to report to the command center.”
” What?” Kant’s slightly embarrassed voice was heard after a moment.” Can you explain a little?”
” It’s my honor, Your Highness Kant. The first witness was an attack from a flock of mutated birds in the dense forest. We haven’t found any fragments of other creatures here, be it mutated or normal…The forest’s ecosystem is extremely prosperous. If you can’t find any signs of other beasts ‘activities, it’s an extreme mutation. They either become bait or slaves, just like these birds…”
Kant had a vague idea of what was going on, but he immediately came to a realization when he realized that.
“But they didn’t appear, and they didn’t die from the explosion…”
“The only explanation is that they dodged it.”
” In other words,” the leader of the investigation team replied,” we can almost confirm that there are two possibilities. One is that there is a dimensional rift, and the other is that there is an unknown underground nest structure.”
” The first possibility has been ruled out. After the incident, we did a phase sequence immediately. There is no incoherent space folding phenomenon here…”
“That means…”
An underground lair?
” Can you locate it?” Kant asked.
“We can’t determine the location for the time being, but if we analyze and deconstruct the mutated creature’s samples, there’s a way to chase after the mutated aura and find the nest, but this will take time…” The mage replied,” The most important thing now is to confirm the nature and type of this abnormal phenomenon.”
” Then let’s use another method,” Kant said.
The battle suit spewed out flames as he increased his altitude. Kant searched the surroundings. Under the gaze of his phoenix eyes, the place was desolate. In fact, it was precisely because he had seen the scene of the extinction of life and the rampage of monsters that he had decided to launch a saturated cannon attack. He wanted to plow the place before deciding.
After experiencing such a level of bombardment, the ground did not collapse. This meant that the so-called nest might be very deep, even like the underground nest in Zhuerban…
This way, the thick layer of soil could block the gaze of the Phoenix Eye.
That would be disgusting.
” Stella,” he turned on the communicator and said,” Have the two mages who were saved recovered?” Ask them where they encountered the birds.”
He had to determine the general location, and then the power of the Fire Stealer could come in handy.
P.S. 1: I went out for a walk today. I haven’t moved for two months… Ah, it’s time to take out my long-forgotten fitness ring adventure.
