The goalkeeper Cindy Plus had indeed been killed by them last time, but now he appeared in front of Xia Chiyu intact again. However, it seems that its body has been repaired, and there are more traces of stitching on its body than before. It strode forward, grasping Kagard III.

Xia Chiyu looked at the rear, unsure for a moment whether to chase Khadgar or wait for Gu Qinyan to follow, but soon Xia Chiyu found that although the syndicate's broken body had been repaired, it was not completely repaired, and as it ran, some weird yellow-green liquid would leak out of the place where its abdomen was sewn up.

And the liquid spilled on the ground became an obvious clue to follow.

In this way, Xia Chiyu will no longer blindly track down. This task must be set like this, although it may be that Xia Chiyu's approach skipped several processes originally planned by the game production team, but now the trigger conditions have been met.

Within a few minutes, Gu Qinyan caught up with Nadya and Yuxi. After seeing Xia Chiyu, Gu Qinyan frowned and said, "Don't tell me you lost it." ”

"No, don't worry, the production team left us a clue." Xia Chiyu said, pointing to the yellow-green liquid on the ground and said, "Follow this thing, and you will be able to catch up soon." ”

"Then stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Gu Qinyan frowned and said, "I've had enough of doing these trivial tasks every day, helping this family find food and collecting medicinal herbs. ”

As he spoke, Gu Qinyan's expression became fierce: "I'll end it here today......"

A blood-red fighting qi erupted from Gu Qinyan's body, and he also accelerated forward to chase after him.

In fact, Xia Chiyu wanted to tell him that no matter how fast it was, it was useless, they still had to wait until the syndicate led them to the laboratory. But Gu Qinyan's radicalism instead drove Nadya's emotions.

"Hmph, I'm not going to lose." Nadya smiled excitedly, and an ice path appeared under her feet. She also accelerated up with a skating posture, Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly, and Yuxi smiled bitterly: "Let's be behind, there is a gap in the gate of Ezes, and now Xiaoyu and the others are trying to help the dwarves plug this gap." ”

"It's okay, the four of us should be enough to deal with the boss this time." Xia Chiyu replied. Then he and Yuxi rode on the gale sculpture and followed behind Gu Qinyan and Nadya.

However, Xia Chiyu and Yuxi were not thrown too far, and they could see Gu Qinyan and Nadya in front of them.

After chasing for a while, the massive figure of the syndicate also appeared in the shadows ahead. Yuxi asked with some surprise: "Hey, didn't we already defeat it last time?" Why is it resurrected now? ”

"The alchemist must have done it." Xia Chiyu replied, "He repaired this guy's body, but probably not enough time, and the repair was not complete." It still has some holes in its body, and the slime is spilled out of its body, and I guess this is the mission clue left by the game production team to show that my goal is right. ”

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was narrowing, the syndicate glanced back at them, reached out and turned on the switch on the jar behind him, and the sound of "coo dong coo" sounded, and the potion in the jar was instilled into the syndicate's body. The syndicate's body swelled and reddened again, and its speed suddenly increased. Distanced myself from them again.

Xia Chiyu really wanted Gu Qinyan to slow down a little, because this task was probably set to make them unable to catch up, as long as they accelerated, the syndicate would also open the alchemy jar to speed up for themselves. However, they were too far away from Gu Qinyan and Yuxi, and the two strong guys in front of them also sped up, so Xia Chiyu had no choice but to speed up.

But. Xia Chiyu found that the route they took this time was indeed different from the one they took when they led the excavation robot before, and they couldn't see the energy points that charged the excavation robot on the road. Eventually, the syndicate stopped in front of a boulder, at which point the syndicate's body was damaged by the potion in the jar behind it. It's more than double the swelling it was before.

The Syndicate came to the boulder, raised his hand and pushed the boulder away with difficulty, and then threw the Kagard III in his hand, and then its hastily repaired huge body seemed to be unable to support the side effects of the potion, and fell to the ground with a bang, yellow-green liquid erupted from its body, and then the body completely collapsed and cracked, wilting like a deflated ball.

"Is it right behind here?" Gu Qinyan put on a stabbing posture and said in a low voice: "Break the army!" ”

Gu Qinyan's body was surrounded by blood-red fighting energy, and the fighting energy condensed into a blood-red wild dragon, roaring and throwing himself out towards the boulder, and for a while, the broken stone splashed, and Gu Qinyan's broken army rushed forward on the boulder like a drilling machine.

However, the boulder was still too big, and when the red fighting qi outside Gu Qinyan's body was exhausted, it only advanced a distance of three or four meters. Gu Qinyan frowned and said in a low voice, "Isn't this skill enough?" ”

"Get out of the way." Nadya said proudly, pulling Gu Qinyan to the back. Xia Chiyu noticed that Nadya seemed to be very happy to prove that the four of them were not as good as a woman, and she was happy to do so.

"Freezing point." Nadya said in a low voice, her index finger lightly tapped on the rock, and a white light flashed from the boulder, and then quickly spread, and in the blink of an eye, the boulder with a radius of more than ten meters was completely covered with frost.

Moreover, the hoarfrost continued to spread, covering the entire area they were in with ice and snow before finally stopping. Nadya raised her right hand, her palm was cone-shaped, and her left hand held her right wrist: "Xuanbing piercing!" ”

The cold ice spiraled around Nadya, spinning at high speed and rushing forward, but Nadya herself did not move forward, but the cold air continued to move forward, not penetrating the boulder, but merging into the boulder.

Then, Nadya clapped her hands lightly, and with a soft "crack", cracks quickly spread from the surface of the boulder, and then exploded, shattering into a cloud of ice.

"It's too violent......" Xia Chiyu muttered in a low voice, while Nadya glanced at Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan as if she were challenged. Gu Qinyan snorted coldly and didn't say anything, and at this moment a tunnel appeared behind the boulder.

The four of them walked through the tunnel, and when the darkness in front of them cleared, there was a light in front of them. A map conversion prompt also appears above their heads, revealing that the area is named "Alchemist's Lab".

The laboratory in front of me is very simple, the test benches, tables and chairs and the like seem to be naturally hewn and rough in workmanship, but on the other hand, there are a large number of sophisticated instruments placed on those tables, chairs and test benches. The potions inside glowed with a variety of colors.

"Shake the ...... before drinking" A hoarse whisper sounded, and they immediately followed the sound to see a man in a white lab coat in front of a test bench, shaking the bright red potion in the test tube.

The man was extremely thin, with a rickety body, sparse hair on the top of his head, almost bald, and rough gray skin.

And Kaga III was lying on the operating table in front of him.

"Ah, syndicate, that shit." The man said. The name of "Alchemist Herrera" emerged from the top of his head, but surprisingly, this guy was actually just a level forty-five ordinary monster, not a boss at all.

"In the end, the rats were let in. Does he even know what a 'gatekeeper' is? Herrera said, reaching out and breaking open Cagard III's mouth, pouring the blood-red potion from the vial into Kagard's mouth.

"Hey, why do you say that, it's hard. In order to protect your laboratory, the body collapsed in the end! Nadya pointed at Errera and yelled. Gu Qinyan snorted angrily beside him: "Do you know that he is an NPC? ”

However, even NPCs have a "dialogue reaction" setting. For example, the system will set some keywords, and NPCs will respond accordingly when they hear these keywords, making the game more realistic.

However, after all, it is only a fixed system. For example, if a keyword is "alchemy", and a player's ID is also "alchemy", then when the player's teammate calls out the teammate's name and then casually rambles, the NPC will also reply accordingly to make the conversation a little inexplicable. The preamble does not match the afterword.

However, although it will be used as a joke, it is not criticized by players, because it is not easy to do this.

But there were no key words in Nadya's words, so Herrera was still just talking to herself: "Why do you always have to do it yourself?" I'm a scientist, I'm doing mental work, and this kind of dirty work is not for me. ”

"Are you the one behind the plague of corruption!?" Xia Chiyu asked straight to the point, there must be keywords in these words that can trigger the plot.

"Corrupt plague?" Andera let out a low smirk, "No, no...... I'm a scientist, but I'm not strong enough to create such a plague out of thin air, and you're looking too highly of me. I just put them in the right petri dish, transform them, nurture them, let them adapt themselves to the environment, and then evolve...... Reborn ......"

"Also, there is no DNA technology in these years, how can this plague be cultivated." Xia Chiyu held his chin and muttered to himself. And Herrera continued, "This thing comes from the 'Forbidden Lands', a buried demon, a Pandora's box sealed by the gods, and its power is unimaginable. Even the monsters in the Forbidden Lands ......"

Speaking of this, Herrera turned her head slightly, but Xia Chiyu and the others still couldn't see his appearance clearly, and Herrera laughed and said, "Have you ever been to the Forbidden Land?" ”

"What's in that place?" Xia Chiyu couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked. Errella smiled hoarsely, "Don't worry, it's not dangerous for many terrestrial creatures. It's like you don't bother to notice the ants under your feet, and even if you want to step on it, you can't necessarily do it, because it's so small......"

As she spoke, Herrera opened her arms as if to make an impassioned speech: "Forbidden Land...... It's so wonderful, you can't imagine how terrible the creatures there are. I've seen giant beasts with undulating bodies like mountains, and I've seen strange fish with huge mouths like bottomless abysses with bodies like balloons......"

Andera exclaimed, "The world underneath is so dark that it seems like even light can swallow it...... Ah, there is such an amazing place in the world. There are so many mysteries to be solved, O all-knowing and all-powerful God......"

"I'm not interested in knowing what's in the Forbidden Lands." Gu Qinyan interrupted him impatiently, "Did you make the things of the elves and dwarves?" Be honest, quickly admit that I killed you! ”

"Elves?" Herrera scoffed, "You humans can only remember your allies in times of crisis, right? ”

said. Errella began to tinker with the potions in her bottles and jars, pouring and douring them on Khadgar's body and mouth, but Errella was surprisingly honest: "Yes, Pandora is powerful, but unfortunately, it cannot infect the creatures of the earth. So I was entrusted with it. Give Pandora a makeover. ”

"You can't imagine how amazing Pandora is," Erira shook the potion in the test tube, and the potion suddenly changed from a strange blood red to emerald green: "Make it a petri dish with a dwarf, add a little dragon's blood grass, rat poison, and some ...... After continuous fermentation, it can transform into a ferocious beast capable of infecting dwarves. But! ”

Herrera smiled again: "Use it as a petri dish with elves, supplemented with green fairy grass, poisonous mushrooms, and some snake mint, and after continuous fermentation, it can become something that can make elves addicted......"

"Could it be ......" Xia Chiyu gasped. Realize the horror of these words.

"Yes, it is not so much a plague as it is an amorphous 'child' that can become anything if properly nurtured and guided...... It can be both the deadliest disease and the most effective antidote. Can you imagine such a thing in the world? Errella excitedly said as she poured another bottle of potion into Cagad III.

At this time, Yuxi whispered, "That." You go and help that dwarf, don't you think he's pitiful? ”

It means to be properly nurtured. Even humans can ......," Xia Chiyu thought to himself.

"Who's behind that? Why are you doing this? Gu Qinyan continued to advance the mission plot.

"He? I don't know, it's a weird and cold guy. There is an annoying aura on the body. As for why I would do it? Because he promised to make me omniscient......" Errella laughed, "There's nothing more fascinating than knowledge, see what I can do now...... As the saying goes, knowledge is power. ”

Speaking of which. Errella turned, and Yuxi suddenly covered her mouth, suppressing the screams in her throat.

Herrera's body under her white coat was no longer human, and its gray-white flesh was covered with dense small tentacles, like a humanoid caterpillar. It's a little creepy to look at.

"Uh-huh, the little girls were intimidated by my appearance." Errella grinned, "But don't worry, the caterpillar will become a beautiful butterfly when it breaks out of its cocoon...... And I, on the other hand, are only a few steps away from successfully breaking the cocoon and transforming into a butterfly, as long as the potion is made...... But there is no time left, you must be eliminated. Otherwise, the Petri dish ......"

As she spoke, Herrela grabbed a bottle of potion from the table and said with a smile, "As you know, Pandora is not only a germ, but also a catalyst that can accelerate the pathology in the body. I don't know what the impact this will be......"

The smile on Anderra's face went crazy: "But the unknown is also one of the joys of science, isn't it?" ”

The sword light flickered, and before Errella could drink the potion, Gu Qinyan had already set up a posture to draw his sword and strike a sword. Everera's hand holding the potion was also cut off by Gu Qinyan, and her hand fell to the ground with the test tube, bursting open.

"Hey, hey, do you really think I'm going to drink the potion after talking to you for so long?" Errella sneered and asked, "I'm the smartest person in the world, and what I said just now was just delaying time, now ...... It's almost time for the potion to take effect......"

As he spoke, Kerrera's body grew more and more dry and gray, and then several lumps protruded on his face and body, and several tentacles burst out from under his skin, as if the skin was already a withered piece of paper.

The tentacles wriggled, twisted and intertwined, turning into a new creature. Herrera only kept her face, but it was nothing more than a decoration, and below it was his true body as a monster.

Beneath the dull face was a bloody jaw full of sharp teeth, and Kerrera's new body flowed like wriggling foam, but it was covered with spikes like a cactus, and two sharp claws could be seen on the irregular body.

"Your definition of a butterfly is really peculiar." Xia Chiyu was a little embarrassed, "Do your butterflies look like this?" ”

However, Xia Chiyu is still ready to fight the boss first.

After Andera began to transform, his level began to increase, and in just a few moments, he became a level eighty-five boss. Xia Chiyu was ready to fight, and Herrera also smirked, opening her mouth to spit out a black mist, but then the expression on his sluggish face suddenly changed drastically and became extremely painful.

"W-What!?" Herrera's face clenched the crown of her teeth, "No, it's not the same as promised...... You lied to me! You damn bastard, you lied to me! Ahhh Are you trying to use me as a petri dish? ”

Just when Xia Chiyu didn't understand what the other party wanted to say, Everera's body began to swell, as if it was about to explode, seeing this, Xia Chiyu hurriedly raised his hand to open the mental force field.

"Bang!" The sound of the balloon explosion sounded, and the flesh and blood were splashed in all directions, and the blood mist blocked their vision, but everyone hid behind Xia Chiyu's spiritual force field, and was not affected by these stumps and flesh.

When the blood mist dissipated, only a beating heart about the size of a watermelon remained where Errella had stood, but there was an additional person in a dark purple robe in front of them, whose ID was "Mystery Man".

What is the rank of this mysterious man "?? Obviously, his level is more than ten levels higher than Xia Chiyu, that is, a hundred-level boss. Although the system is not marked, this is definitely the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes!

The mysterious man turned his head to look at them, Xia Chiyu could see a golden glow under the hood, and there was a seven-pointed star mark on the person's forehead that emitted a faint golden light. The mysterious man stared at them and said coldly, "Miscellaneous fish...... I actually found this place. This guy is really an idiot, he can't do such a trivial thing, and he claims to be the smartest person in the world. ”

"What about you......" Gu Qinyan said coldly, his hands conjuring up the cadre and Mo Ye, "Extreme? Chopping ...... Winged Wind Sword Dance! ”

The crescent-shaped sword qi condensed and accumulated in front of Gu Qinyan, and then flew towards the mysterious person together.

"This thing is not fully mature, this idiot, I think I have to wait until the time is right to drink the 'catalyst'." The mysterious man looked at the beating heart in his hand and muttered to himself, then lightly raised his right index finger and lightly pointed at the sword qi that Gu Qinyan flew in front of him.

"Break-" A clear groan sounded, and then the golden light burst out, and Gu Qinyan's sword qi turned into a gust of wind and dissipated. Gu Qinyan was stunned, then raised his hand and whispered: "Convict, destroy the evil ......"

"I don't have time to play with you today, I have more important things to do......," the mysterious man said, raising his hand to draw a simple circle in the air, a dazzling light enveloping him, and then he disappeared from the scene.

"This guy ......" Gu Qinyan was stunned, and unwillingly chased after him to take a look, but the mysterious man had indeed disappeared.

Xia Chiyu stepped forward to take a look and found that there was a strange spell left on the ground, and the system immediately prompted him whether to record this spell, and Xia Chiyu simply chose to record it.

Then, they noticed that Anderella's face was still a little bit of flesh attached to it, slowly rotting on the ground in front of them. Even though Herrera had become like this, she hadn't hung up yet, but was still muttering to herself.

"Ah......hh I don't know, what kind of plague will my body bring? Is...... Make people ...... Looking forward to it......" Anderrhera had a crazy and hideous smile on her face, and yellow-green foam poured out of his mouth, and then the last bit of flesh attached to his face also rotted, and the rotting liquid engulfed his face......

"Tsk, I thought I was going to have a boss fight, but it just made us see a plot." Gu Qinyan said hatefully.

"But, this mysterious man is so strange, he can do this by himself, why should this man do it?" Nadya asked, puzzled, looking at the puddle of putrid liquid on the ground.

Xia Chiyu sighed and said helplessly, "Isn't this simple?" Our goal is to realign the dwarves and elves with humans, but ...... The most troublesome thing is that it is a human who creates these two plagues and brings down the elves and dwarves internally. How do you think we should explain the situation to the dwarves and elves? (To be continued.) )
