Chapter 836: Wetlands
Dean's Office.
On the hospital bed in the cubicle, there was a young man with a loveless expression.
It seems to have been severely 'devastated' physically and mentally, especially physically.
In the hand of the head of the group, Xia Ya was holding a tube of blood that had been 'sucked' out of Han Dong's body with great difficulty, containing rich blood cells, which was enough to detect the blood attribute contained in it.
No testing instruments are required.
Captain Charya himself is an incomparably sophisticated blood detector.
Drink the blood directly from the test tube in one gulp.
In the blink of an eye, Captain Xiaya's consciousness came to the depths of an ancient tomb, and with the induction of blood, he searched around the ancient tomb, and all kinds of stone tablet symbols that touched the mythological realm were in full view.
"The lineage of mythical life? The Hall family can have such an opportunity......
However, it makes sense.
Because the Hall family is unable to carry and fully control such a noble mythical blood, they mistake it for a curse...... A curse that would make their family have to slay evil creatures for generations.
Nicholas is not only able to carry this bloodline, but also sucks up all the blood in other people's family tombs at once.
Such a body is really ...... Awesome! β
Come to think of it.
Head Xia reached out and touched the young man on the hospital bed.
The latter didn't react at all, not even blinking.
A whole day had passed since the two of them were alone, just as Captain Charya was ready to continue playing...... A message directly from the Demon King's Castle made her face change.
"Huh? Has the terrain changed? β
Charya quickly walked to the window and looked out at the eternal night.
The first feeling is tranquility.
In Xiaya's dozens of experiences out of the city, the outside of the city shouldn't be so quiet.
Even if it's an area of eternal night where there is no demonic activity.
Stones that have been exposed to the eternal night for a long time will rub on their own, trees will make a rattling sound of suckers, and a strange whispering sound can be heard from under the ground.
But it was unusually quiet outside the window.
Even Charya pushed open the window.
At the same time, according to the incoming information...... The expeditionary force set out from Perugia and headed due north along the Strada avenue, which was supposed to avoid the wooded area and advance on the relatively flat plain road with a good view.
But in front of them, the expeditionary force has stepped into a [wetland] full of shrubs and plants with a high water content.
This also led to a significant restriction on the speed of the march.
Commander Xia took out a scroll of maps from the expeditionary force that passed through this area a year and a half ago, "Strange...... In just a year and a half, how much has changed here? Is there geographical coverage? β
That's just at this time.
Han Dong, who had changed his clothes again, also came to the window one after another, staring at this unusually quiet wetland area.
"Captain Charya, can the Expeditionary Eye see the borders of this wetland?"
"Compared to a normal environment of eternal night, the field of vision is limited to 50%...... Boundaries cannot be seen.
The scale of the wetlands is beyond imagination, and based on available intelligence, it is estimated that the wetlands may cover more than 40% of the central region of Italy.
The Great Demon Commander has serious doubts that the Alien Coalition will launch a surprise attack on us in this area.
Moreover, during the several hours of marching in the wetlands, a few knights showed signs of 'excessive humidity' and were taken to the hospital for examination and treatment.
The large army will be stationed in the wetland for a period of time to investigate the [wetland]. β
"Captain Charya, what is the situation of the knight who is 'too humid'? Can you let me take a look? β
"Hmm...... Come with me. β
Three knights who are not in good condition have been admitted to the hospital.
All three are sentient personnel, with weak physical bodies and a lower level than the "Fifth Order Knight".
The body was shrouded in holy light and sent directly to the isolation room.
It was also because of the permission of Head Xia Ya that Han Dong was able to have direct contact with the patient.
At present, the exchange transfusion has been completed.
The edema and some blisters also disappeared, and the knights returned to their normal state...... However, there is something terrible in the blood that has been exchanged.
"It's ...... What the? β
In just a few seconds, a large number of 'tadpole-like life' appeared in a vat of blood that had been replaced.
Without physical limitations, this kind of life is reproducing and growing like crazy.
Moreover, as the number of tadpoles increased, the blood became thinner and thinner, slowly turning into a puddle of clear water.
Until......
Wail! A toad suddenly jumped out and was immediately annihilated by a wisp of black sand released by Han Dong.
Han Dong touched his chin with one hand and said lightly: "After the nutrients in the blood are depleted, reproduction and growth will stop.
Captain Charya, can I take some samples? β
"Yes...... What are your thoughts? β
"At first glance, it's best to get some knights who are not very physical and have a lower rank to refrain from exploring this wetland.
How to effectively resist the "wetland effect" still needs to be studied. β
"Okay, you can go back to your own team too...... The hospital may be busy, and I'll call you when I need it. β
Before leaving, Han Dong whispered in the ear of Captain Xia Ya to confirm one thing: "The possibility of alien demons launching a surprise attack in this area is very high, if I have the opportunity, I will sign up directly." β
"Well, pay attention to yourself.
If you have the chance, work with Lucius. β
"Okay."
Han Dong returned to the team with the test tube in his hand, and he didn't wait for Mia to pounce...... I found another man as soon as possible.
"Temples came with me, I got a sample of the wet symptoms in the hospital...... Need to confirm. β
In the blink of an eye, the two secretly teleported to the backyard of the Scarlet Manor.
In order to ensure species diversity, Han Dong transformed the backyard area into a giant artificial lake...... The interior is filled with conch and seawater, and the harbor fishmen at their disposal live here.
Current.
An old man with an ugly face, his eyes completely bulging, and his chin stacked was sitting leisurely by the river fishing.
γDenox. Count Wright, the top administrator of the port of Ostia under Han Dong.
Like the Crimson Earl, it belongs to the [Mature Body-Alien Demon].
However, he himself is "excessively old".
As mentioned earlier, the port is nothing more than a 'deep-sea retirement home', and some deep-sea beings who are overly old or seriously injured stay in the harbor and spend the rest of their lives through conch dreams.
Such a severely aged Earl Wright may not even be able to defeat a newborn demon.
But...... Also because of his old age, he knows a lot about the deep sea.
"Envoy, you're here!"
"Count Wright, like I would like to ask you, have you ever seen such a creature?"
Han Dong handed over the test tube.
Earl Wright stared at the strange tadpole swimming in it, and thought for a moment, "This is the young body of the Toad Ancestor?" β
