"It's done. With these words, a scarred skeleton was thrown into the jungle. Now there is no supernatural ability to protect this body, it has become a mixture of water, protein, and calcification. According to nature's already established model, it will be used as a nutrient to be decomposed and consumed by countless animals, plants and microorganisms. In this warm area, it only takes half a year for it to decompose and only calcium, and even those solid calciums will be dissipated over decades under the influence of natural forces called weathering.

Even though it's a scene that almost every Lunatic Warlock never misses in his lifetime—the phrase means that those who survive don't count those who die—but it's still a bit of a shocking scene. Zhu Hua had to admit that although she was not a person who had never seen the world (in fact, there were no more warlocks sent to hell by her hands), but it was still extremely unsettling to face such a killing. Her original expectation was that the Dream King would live at least as long as he could—for an unknown amount of time, but certainly not immediately. He must, and could only tell all the information he knew, especially about the loss of the artifact. In fact, she's ready for a confrontation.

"Thank you for the information...... I have to say that you really have a talent for this. The other party said so unconcernedly. She playfully struck her hand through the air in a line made of magical remnants. The scars of the magic are so strong that they are extremely uncomfortable. Although with Zhu Hua's strength, she has no way to judge how much stronger the other party is, but one thing is certain. After "devouring" the Dream King, the opponent's strength has improved again.

"We're here to help. Zhu Hua lowered his head and pressed all the unwillingness and anger in his heart deep in his heart, without revealing any of it.

"Well, it's great to be able to find out what that guy has planned. The other party took out a mobile phone and clicked on it. Start playing a recording on your phone immediately.

Those were two familiar voices, one Dream King and the other Zhu Hua. The two men were clearly arguing over what was going on. Since the recording started in the middle of the pitch, it is not clear why they are arguing with each other. However, the words of both sides can be heard clearly. Through this method, the Dream King intends to throw the responsibility for losing the artifact to others and take it out of himself.

If Lu Wu was there, he would probably immediately recognize that it was exactly what the Dream King said to him in the dream world. Of course, not every word corresponds, but it can only be said that the basic meaning is the same. As for why it became a conversation between Dream King and Zhu Hua, or why it was still recorded, it is unknown.

But in any case, because of this, the Dream King's life came to an end. No Moon Warlock would endure betrayal from anyone else—except when they had to.

"It's time for us to go. ”

"Where to go?" Zhu Hua was a little surprised. After all, the artifact has been lost, and the situation is more dangerous than troublesome. No moonman can take on such a responsibility. As soon as the Dream King dies, not to mention anything else, even if this responsibility is wanted to be pushed to others, no one can push it! Of course, then again, this responsibility, maybe the Dream King can shirk it, but as the Dream King's direct boss, there is really no way to push it.

"Of course, it's to get the artifact back. The other party said indifferently. "Let's go. ”

"Artifact...... Where?" Zhu Hua also knew that the reason why the Dream King would do this kind of thing was entirely because he couldn't retrieve the artifact. Nothing else, but the artifact was clearly not something that could be recognized at a glance.

"Didn't that guy say? Just use the machine to find it. ”

"Really...... Is there such a machine?"

"Of course, have you forgotten who I am, I come from one of the most prestigious families. Zhu Hua saw the other party show a smug smile, and this smile stabbed her heart like a knife. "You see, that's the strength of the family. ”

She reached out and pulled out a blue gem.

It was an apparently well-carved treasure, and if you look closely, you will see that the blue color is not the color of the gemstone itself. Specifically, it was more like a vessel with a blue liquid. Of course, gemstones are not hollow, but the blue liquid is not an ordinary substance, or whether it is a substance at all, is debatable. If you look at it closely, you will see that the blue liquid is flowing and swirling, forming a beautiful little whirlpool.

Except for the difference in color, this thing is very similar to the space-time gem that Zhu Hua once owned (the gem was later lost in the Battle of Kunlun Mountain, and it should have fallen into the hands of the Huiyue Warlock). Zhu Hua almost immediately understood that this was the way the other party came to this world. A space-time gem made with the magic of the First Law, and this gem is not the property of the Stygian faction, but belongs to only one family.

"Anyway, that artifact has been studied by our family for a long time, and although we haven't been able to produce any results, at least we have mastered something...... Not...... Over there?"

The direction she pointed to was the camp of the scientific expedition team.

……

At dusk, in the camp of the scientific expedition team, a heated debate was going on. A large group of biology scholars are arguing at the meeting.

The expedition team has been working here long enough to obtain a large number of specimens and first-hand information. There is now basically a basic conclusion about what is happening in this area.

Large-scale biological mutations have occurred in this area, but the source of the mutations is unknown. Initially, it was thought that something like nuclear waste was the source of the contamination, but apparently it was not so easy to find it.

But this thing can be done slowly, and the question now is what exactly will be the consequences of this biological mutation, or rather, what measures should be taken.

At present, there are two factions, the first group believes that this is a very serious matter, and some even think that it should be submitted to the United Nations, and the international community will intervene to completely seal down the area and remove the source of pollution. Thankfully, this is not a difficult point. After all, as mentioned earlier, this circle can be regarded as a pristine forest. There are only a few human villages and towns on the side. In fact, even these rural towns do not have any foreign trade products, and the blockade does not require a great price. Relocation of populations, lockdown of areas, removal of sources of pollution...... As for funding, it could be raised from all over the world and a permanent research base could be established to ensure that the mutation does not spread.

The other group of people believes that this does not need to be so fanfare. This mutation is very unstable, that is, it has a significant impact and damage to the physiology of the animal, so these mutated animals do not live long at all. Just record it a little, publicize it, prohibit the consumption of animal carcasses and so on. Anyway, the animals here will slowly die out, and there is no need to do anything at all.

In short, one can be shortened to the "mutation danger", and the other can be shortened to the "mutation harmless". The two factions have their own opinions and are arguing.

Of course, there are some points that everyone agrees on. Let's say finding out this mysterious "source of pollution" as soon as possible.

The problem is, it's not safe around here. It is no secret that some PMCs in charge of security were attacked and wiped out by unknown forces. The relevant work is not something that can be completed by such a scientific expedition team, and it is more appropriate to hand it over to the government or international organizations.

Thankfully, these are minor issues. For the expedition team, their main work is over. According to the original plan, except for a very small number of remainers, they are responsible for continuing to monitor the development of this unknown mutation. The rest, including all kinds of equipment, will be removed.

In other words, the sponsors of this expedition, or the organizers and investors, have already decided that the thing is done. The next thing is the activity at the national level.

The specific evacuation situation has also been scheduled. In fact, the time has already been set for tomorrow. By the way, the equipment of the camp, including various accumulated specimens, has already been packed and some have been sent away. Although the operation was supported by the local government, it is natural that they could only get some data and reports, and the real first-hand materials were to be shipped away. You know, these specimens are actually very valuable, and in addition to their academic value, they also have a high collection value. There are many people in this world who like to collect some inexplicable things, such as specimens after the mutation of this creature. On the surface, at least on the surface, this constitutes an important source of sponsorship for expedition teams.

So the meeting quickly goes into who leaves and who leaves such a discussion content. Of course, this aspect is mainly self-volunteering, voluntary, and there is no harsh demand.

It should be noted that when these topics are discussed, there is no vigilance or precaution on the sidelines of the entire venue. No one paid attention to the movement outside. This is also a matter of course, this kind of academic topic, let alone eavesdropping, invite others to listen to others may not be willing to come. Not to mention anything else, for example, the head of the scientific expedition team, that is, Thomas, was bored and almost yawned. He did take an interest in the mutation for a while, but after a while, he got tired of it. This duty is more of a burden for him than a job. The only trouble was that he had to bear the burden, because there was a grandfather up there.

In fact, there are specimens of some deformed creatures back and forth, which may make people curious at first glance, but bored after looking too much.

No one noticed that someone was eavesdropping on the side of the venue, or rather, let alone noticing, they didn't even think about it.

……

In another corner of the camp, Lu Wu found that he had finished a bottle of hanging needles.

He was in a relaxed mood now, or rather, at this moment, he realized that the danger he had been fearing had been completely resolved. The nurse removed the needle, leaving him alone in the medical tent. No, it's not just him, it's Amber.

Compared to Lu Wu's great vitality injury, Amber was not affected at all. This is also the advantage of virtual bodies. Anyway, everything went well, and the two of them can now discuss the previous battle and the aftermath in a very relaxed mood.

“…… Actually, I was a little worried about it before. Amber admitted. "They believe that the person responsible for carrying the artifact must be the strongest among the Stygian Warlocks, if not the strongest one, at least the first-class powerhouse. They also gave me a list of possible carriers of the candidates. But I didn't expect that the last one to come was a nobody. ”

"Possible candidates for the carrier?" Lu Wu asked casually.

"Well, yes, there are different types of Stygian Warlocks, and those who are older and in high positions are unlikely to take on this kind of task. But the best of the younger generation are suited for this kind of task......" Amber pulled out his phone (not the military type he borrowed from the camp, but himself) and showed a photo.

"This is ......" Lu Wuyi was shocked. Because this face is familiar to him, it is Zhu Hua! But how is it possible? The Rangers are not some elite troops...... But fortunately, he was immediately relieved, but it was just a little similar, and the difference was still obvious.

"The strongest of the younger generation of the Stygian Warlocks, I remember the name was ......," Amber thought for a moment. "Blood Angel?"
