For those who don't want to give up, this silent deterrence is a heavy spur. For some, then, it's more like a signal to speed up their pace and plunge into the depths.

Of course, there are two sides to everything. While they continue to obtain from the deep sea the drugs and various 'abilities' that can prolong their lives and rejuvenate them, these people are also driving more investment in core laboratories. After all, eggs can't always be put in the same basket.

Reiko, this newfound transcendent energy source, has taken humanity into a whole new field of study.

Of course, at present, human beings are still in the very early stage of research on Lingzi Energy, and they have not found much else except that there is a certain degree of correlation between superpowers and Lingzi Energy. They only know that this kind of energy that is not known and cannot be observed by ordinary means, and can only be inversely extrapolated from the radiation field it produces can cause disordered mutations in plants, animals and even inorganic matter.

"If it weren't for this inexplicable war, we would have been able to discover them much earlier. Professor Luke, who was in charge of the project at the underground Biosphere Simulator Center at the Montana headquarters, complained to his colleagues next to him, "This is simply the greatest miracle in the history of biological evolution, even the birth of human beings cannot compare to it." But we didn't find it in the first place, but let it sit idle in the outside world for so long. ”

In a circular field encased in thick bulletproof glass, an object that could not accurately describe its shape was slowly squirming its bloated body.

This is the result of experiments with plant extracts collected from an anomaly found in the small village of Calatanaso.

The researchers boldly put giant rat cells, crystal orchid cells, and a small amount of nuclear waste together in the extract. Seventy-two hours later, he got this 'creature' that he didn't know how to classify.

It has no fixed shape, but it has a flexible, strong, translucent epidermis, no organs, but it is able to quickly differentiate into a cellular structure when stimulated by an external body, and the fluids that flow from its body are extremely corrosive and attract many scavengers.

"What about the results of human experiments?"

"Unfortunately, the rate at which this energy induces mutation in humans is very slow, and at lethal concentrations, we can still only observe a slight change. Professor Luke gestured to the observer from Cybertron, "It's small, it's not very useful. ”

"Professor, you should understand that if it doesn't work on the human body, then there are a lot of research projects that will be suspended, so ......"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that! Damn, I mean to say, we need more samples, more time, this new field of research, where is it possible to get results so quickly!"

——————

Iron-gray clouds hung low overhead, as if they would hit the ground in the next second, and the air was filled with a faint sour smell and tiny spores from the other world, which together stained the field of vision a strange lilac. Ever since the first collision between the Atlas and the Honrealm seventy years ago, the skies of the Atlas have become like this. The so-called sunlight has become a luxury that only those giant cities have the opportunity to see, and only the strong men who can fly into the sky and tear the clouds with the power of the card beast can briefly let that bright light shine on the world again.

On this day, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest came from outside the Black Descending City, which was located three hundred miles outside the intersection of this realm and the other world. He has one in one hand, and in his left hand he is holding a little Inhuman girl dressed as a Taoist boy with cute cat ears, and in his right hand is a little Inhuman boy dressed as a Taoist boy, but with a fluffy dog ear wagging his tail.

Behind his back was a large cascade that was three feet long and more than a foot wide, and at a glance it was clear that it was not an ordinary one, and the twelve slots still shone brightly even in the dim light.

In the dull eyes of the guards at the city gate, the young Taoist led the two little ones, with their big sleeves fluttering, as if no one was around, passing through the crowd, turning around and disappearing into the dense streets and alleys. By the time they remembered their duties and shouted loudly, the three of them were gone.

As one of the fulcrum cities that surrounds the meeting point, the city has the same characteristics as the other thirty-five cities: streets and alleys paved with sturdy stones. These magic stones, which seemed to be no different from bluestones, formed a huge guardian circle that penetrated deep into the leylines, turning the entire city into a giant rivet, firmly nailing the spatial coordinates of the intersection.

And the huge wasteland surrounded by these thirty-six fulcrum cities has long become a dangerous zone for demons to dance wildly. Of course, it also attracts adventurers from far and wide, as it's the only place where you can produce a steady stream of materials to make powerful cards and fight fiercely that will take them to the next level.

Holding the two little guys in front of an inn, Su Daoren sighed silently, touched his shriveled purse, and felt bitter in his heart about to drip water. The two little ones were so good at eating that it took only a few days to eat the more than 100 taels of silver he had brought with him when he went out, and it seemed that he had to go back to his old business and set up a stall in this city for a few days.

So two hours later, there was a rather simple stall on the left side of the door of the He Inn. A sackcloth, two little Taoist boys holding cloth flags with reluctant faces, and young Taoists sitting cross-legged.

"Take a look at it~ Freshly baked blood demon set cards, a set of twelve, only one hundred and eighty taels of gold~ There are all kinds of excellent scattered cards, the price is favorable~"

Many of the pedestrians were attracted by the clamour, and although the fulcrum city was close to the meeting point, the card trade here was much more prosperous than in the inland areas. However, a whole series of decks is still quite rare.

Twelve cards with a dark red background were neatly arranged on the linen, and the dark red seemed to be still flowing slowly, like blood. Small visions continue to rush from Kathu, letting out subtle roars and wails.

After a while, there were more than a dozen people around the side of the stall, all of them were full of energy, and their respective card instruments were also hung in conspicuous positions on their bodies, and they were all official card masters certified by the Dao Palace. After a few quarters of an hour, there was another catcher on the side of the stall, who put the water and fire stick in his hand to the ground, and silently maintained order.

"This fellow Daoist, dare to ask if this set of Blood Demon Cards can be sold in a single order?" After hesitating for a moment, a half-bald man in a strong suit asked in a low voice, "This Blood Demon Son, Blood Witch, and Demon Hunter don't seem to be of much use." ”

"Don't dismantle it, don't dismantle it," Su Daoren shook his head, "This set of cards is a poor road war for three days and three nights, and it was finally made after clearing a blood demon lair. ”

"You don't know anything. The card beasts and talismans I waited for were all combinations that were obtained after thousands of tempering, and it didn't hurt to take one or two of them to join, if you bought your set of cards, but you couldn't use them at that time, wouldn't it be a big loss. You must know that this card beast of blood, demons, death, and dirt is not used by many people. Another card master spoke, "I see that among your twelve cards, there are three or five good ones, why don't you sell one for twenty taels of gold?"

"Don't sell it, don't sell it," Su Daoren still shook his head, he pointed to the canine ear boy beside him, "If you don't believe it, you can talk to my Taoist boy for a game, and you will know." ”

A group of people looked at the Dao Tong who was wandering out of the world, and couldn't help twitching the corners of their eyes, this is obviously just a seven or eight-year-old kid, I'm afraid that he can't even drive the lowest-level white card talisman, and where can he fight against these official card masters. If it weren't for the identity of this young Taoist card maker, someone would have scolded him a long time ago.

"Don't dare?" Su Daoren took it out in his arms for a while, and took out a pale gold card, "Okay, okay, then I'll add a lottery, if someone can beat my boy, then I'll give him this sixth-class gold card!" But if you lose, then you have to buy a card at double the price in my stall, do you dare?"

In the face of Su Daoren's provocation, these more than a dozen card masters were all angry, but soon they suppressed their anger again, and those who can come to this point can lose their temper so easily. What's more, it's an open secret that there are often all kinds of quirks in the group of card makers. A card maker who can take out a sixth-class gold card can't be so boring!

Above the endless firmament, a great consciousness of boundlessness awakened for a second, and he seemed to see something interesting, and after a chuckle, fell back into a deep sleep, leaving only a cloud of relief in the world.

Earth is a dangerous place o_O
