When I first learned of Wagner's whereabouts, I was puzzled by his choice: why would this genius mad pharmacist want to spread these dangerous lethal toxins across the continent, but instead of this densely populated city, in the middle of this inaccessible glacial snowfield? How did he spread these toxins?

But it didn't take long for me to understand his purpose:

Dawn River!

Yes, the Dawn River, the most extensive river in the upper basin of the Falvi continent, has a long waterway of nearly 2,000 miles flowing through countless forests, grasslands, plains, and basins, passing through the territory of more than ten countries, feeding millions of mainland residents of different races and different origins, and giving birth to a splendid Falvi culture. This ancient and beautiful river is the most important bloodline of the Falvi continent, the river of life and the source of history of the entire continent's civilization.

However, if I had the misfortune to guess that Wagner, a mad madman, could find a way to completely pollute the source of the Dawn River with the devastating toxin in his hand, turning the entire river into a poisonous stream that breeds endless death, then the gentle water of this river, which carries the civilization and history of the entire continent, will become an unstoppable dragon overnight, easily destroying the entire continent's ecosystem, mercilessly drowning and devouring all the creatures it encounters in its path, until it turns into a pile of dry bones, and even begs for death.

So when I heard a gurgling sound of water from the broken rock formations, my heart immediately tightened. Following the sound, I saw a huge rock peeking out of the mountain wall not far away.

In contrast to the dark gray shale that can be found throughout the peak, this rock is reddish-brown throughout, thick at the bottom and pointed at the top, in the shape of a droplet. There are also some traces of heat burns on the edges around it. It didn't look like a rock from the Korkra Mountains, but more like --- I know it sounds like a strange thing, but I did have this absurd idea at this moment---- a boulder flying from the sky fell into the Korkra Mountains, plunged headlong into the mountain wall, and was buried deep in it.

How could I have such a stupid idea---- and immediately, I scoffed at such a nonsensical idea---- how could such a huge rock fall from a higher place than it, which was already the highest mountain range in the entire continent? Where does it come from? How did it come about? Could it be that the stars in the heavens and the earth have fallen to the earth...... This idea is simply ridiculous. Even ignorant children laugh at my crankiness.

It doesn't matter where this strangely shaped boulder came from, under the inclination of this rock. A hidden cavern was revealed---- and even though I knew it was impossible, I couldn't help but think about it. The cave looked like a crack left by the rock falling from the sky and crashing through the mountain wall---- and it was from this cave that I heard the sound of running water.

"I'll have to ......go in and see," I said, pointing to the entrance to the cavern to my comrades, "...... Maybe that's what I'm going to do. ”

My comrades-in-arms have followed my advice ---- blessed by the High God, and they have made wise decisions, for which billions of living beings across the continent should be eternally grateful---- and of course, me.

Just standing at the entrance to the cavern. I felt a damp warmth. There was no snow at the entrance to the cave, but a large area of ice. I don't know how thick the ice surface is, but it seems that it has been here since the dawn of the world, and it has never melted.

Because the cave is covered with ice, the sunlight is refracted through layers and shines into the depths of the cave. Therefore, although the view from the cave is not very good, we can barely see the surrounding environment.

The walls of the cave were covered with ridges of ice of varying lengths and thicknesses, some of which had become a hard white and condensed with the surrounding rocks, as sharp as spears, while others seemed to be melting, and a few drops of water were dripping down from time to time. The further we go inside, the more humid the air we breathe, and some tiny ice edges fall from the rock face from time to time. The "whooshing" sound continued to drum back and forth in the cavern, getting louder and louder. It sounds thrilling, as if the entire cave is going to collapse at any moment.

I walked in horror. I'm afraid that if I accidentally get a little heavier under my feet, it will cause a catastrophic landslide. But my friends didn't seem to have this concern, and they watched the strange scenery in the cave all the way, and from time to time let out loud exclamations:

"The scenery is so beautiful!" Xian Ge Yayi looked around in amazement, and a pair of eyes were almost beyond the frame of his glasses.

"The scenery here is good...... "Yangtze River Delta said angrily, "...... But the scenery on the hillside is also beautiful. ”

"You know what?" Fei Yin also interjected and joked, "The scenery under the snowdrift is more beautiful, and some people are so fascinated that they are reluctant to raise their heads......"

The elven marksman, who suffers from severe fear of heights, was dragged up the Corkra Pass by me and one of the Yangtze River Delta, and thankfully, the Kaukra Pass was a more rugged mountainous terrain, with huge and craggy rocks and icicles blocking our ---- mainly the ---- of the string song Yayi's vision, so that he would not be frightened by the height difference, which made this useless fellow who had screamed in horror and wobbled on the ground learn to walk upright again.

It's no wonder that the sight in front of him excites him so much: when he closes his eyes, he is still in the cold tundra zone, and when he opens his eyes, he sees a karst landscape, and this strong difference in scenery is very new to anyone. And for those of us who witnessed the entire journey, the impact wasn't so great.

Probably remembering the embarrassment of the string song Yayi along the way, the wild goose couldn't help but laugh coquettishly. The mocking elven marksman touched his pointed ears in embarrassment, bowed his head in shame and said:

"I'm also a patient......

"Shhhh......h

The dark walls of the cavern were suddenly covered with mottled light marks, and red and blue light waves swirled irregularly. As the ice scattered, it couldn't help but flicker, illuminating the entire cave in a strange light, exuding an eerie aura. As the light streaks flowed, a hollow and stiff voice sounded in a low voice, spitting out countless chaotic and complex syllables that echoed across the walls of the cave. I don't understand a word of what they mean, but every syllable instinctively disgusts and wicks me. It was as if an invisible and cold paw scratched my heart and gave me goosebumps.

An ominous dark cloud looms over my earth. I felt my left chest twitch as I gently pulled out my shield and sword. Pick up the pace and rush forward. Fei Yin and the others also noticed that the situation was abnormal, stopped the noise and followed my footsteps.

As soon as I turned a corner, a tall back came into my eyes. His torso was wrapped in a huge cloak, and even his head was hidden deep in the hood, with only two palms sticking out of his clothes. His hands were a stiff blue-gray color. There was no trace of blood, some places had been corroded and broken, and from time to time a little dark yellow pus flowed out of his arms flat, his hands were wide open, and his neck was tilted upward. Like a giant bat with wings spread. In front of him, a pentagonal magic circle was floating there out of thin air, alternating between a miserable red and an indigo light. In the middle of the magic array, there was a bottle of blue-gray potion---- who would have imagined that in this bottle made of the cheapest crystal fragments, which had very low gloss and transparency in shape, it only took five silver coins to buy a whole dozen and was sealed and worn out by a moldy rubber cork, and it contained perhaps the most dangerous and terrifying thing that had ever appeared in the world since the creation of the gods?

A mad genius scientist with an extremely twisted mind, a vial of your unimaginably poisonous toxin, if all that isn't enough to break your nerves and send you into a desperate panic, then hey. Try this: there's also a river here.

Yes. A river!

Perhaps your gaze will tell you that this is not a river. At best, it's just a shallow stream. It flows slowly from the west side of the mountain wall and flows down the sloping mountain to the east. This quiet flow has lasted for many thousands of years, and the thin stream of water has polished the ground billions of times, until finally a short canal has been washed out of the hard rock---- in fact, it is too much to say that it is a canal, its deepest point is just below the calf, and the shallowest part is not even wet on the surface of the foot. This trail of water, which is no more than ten paces long, is only a small section of an underground undercurrent that occasionally emerges from the surface.

However, it is indeed a river--- not only a river, but the longest and largest river in the entire continent. If I am not mistaken, this may be the earliest part of the Dawn River that has been exposed to the surface, and the magnificence of the mountains and rivers for 2,000 miles, the splendid splendor of 5,000 years, and the blood roots of hundreds of millions of living beings are all the first steps taken from this short stream.

Right now...... The Demise of the World...... It will also ...... Do you want to start here?

"Wagner......" I whispered, staring at the distorted face. I don't know if it was because of anger or despair, I felt cold all over my body, and the biting chill was like a sharp ice edge, piercing straight into my heart and lungs. My blood seemed to have stopped flowing, and all the colors and things around me had lost their image, except for the ugly back that was so clearly reflected in my pupils.

Am I late? My heart weighs like a lump of ice---- has his ritual of spreading the toxin been completed? Will everything be irretrievable? Could this world, which has poured out the infinite mercy and love of the creator God, be so easily destroyed by the hands of a madman?

It's all my fault!

I couldn't help but fall into a deep self-reproach: I had delayed too much along the way, allowing him to escape my pursuit again and again. Many times, I have even seen his back, but I have finally allowed him to escape. At the bridgehead, at the ferry, and even on the way to the snowy mountains, I lost too many opportunities. I could have prevented this from happening, if I had tried harder, harder!

That's the way it is, when you do it, you always think you've tried hard enough; But at the last minute, you will always find that you have never worked hard enough. Many of the world's irreparable regrets often come from this. And from now on. I didn't know how many more opportunities I had to regret at that time......

The groaning grew muffled, and he removed his hood and turned slowly.

"Ah......h

The emaciated apothecary a few months ago had lost his shape completely: his hair had fallen out---- in fact his scalp was almost gone, revealing a large white skull; His eye sockets were deeper--- not because of emaciation, but because the flesh around his eye sockets had completely festered; The eyeballs were abruptly embedded in the sockets, and there was not the slightest anger in the gaze. The color had turned black, and the blood veins protruded around the pupils, probably congealed into pus. Dark yellow pus gushed out of the eye sockets and ran down the cheeks. all the way down to his cheeks; His left cheek has been extensively corroded, and his mouth has black-purple gums exposed up and down, and his right cheek is still somewhat intact, but there are faint signs of maggot wriggling under the skin of his cheeks......

"A woman is a woman, and even this is ...... afraid" saw our elders show rare signs of panic. The Yangtze River Delta did not miss this opportunity to ridicule each other.

"Who...... Who's scared...... I just feel disgusted......" Fei Yin replied in annoyance, but her weak tone didn't sound convincing at all.

"Don't be hard-mouthed, being afraid is being afraid...... "Xian Ge Yayi also sneered, "...... With this little guts, I was embarrassed to laugh at me for being afraid of heights just now......"

"I'm a wild goose. Fei Yin is behind you......" The wild goose looked at Wagner's face without changing his face, and disdainfully exposed the old background of the string song:

“…… If you're really not afraid, put your glasses on......"

I can't join in the ridicule of my companions, I just envy them with despair, envy that they don't know anything about the end of the world: they only know that we have a difficult task to accomplish, but they probably don't understand what is happening in front of them, and they don't despair. In fact, ignorance is also a great happiness in many cases, and when you know more truths, you often have to bear more responsibilities and burdens. It will also be crushed by despair sooner. The mad pharmacist, who was mutated or perverted, slowly opened his mouth. His voice was hollow and dull. has lost the elasticity that it should have as a person, like a stone thrown into a deep valley and echoing aftersound. But even so. It could not hide the excitement and ecstasy in its tone, and although his eyeballs were completely necrotic, a rich red light passed through the scars in his eye sockets, indicating the mood of the fanatic at the moment.

“…… You're finally here......" he said, "...... This is a great world-changing moment, and I really want someone to share it with me. Although you do not yet understand the great significance of all this, history has given you this incomparable honor. I have stolen the secret of ultimate evolution from the hands of selfish gods, and just today, I will share eternity with the whole world. Now, you may not understand the significance of all this, but one day people will be grateful to me for my unrequited generosity, for my broad-mindedness and wisdom, for leading them into a land forbidden by God. And then, you will also be one of them......"

“…… A quarter of an hour to go......" Wagner excitedly flaunted to us, his rotten face straining into a frenzy," ...... The magic array will complete self-repair, and the billions of modified bacteria in this divine potion will no longer be afraid of the cold. They will pour into the river and complete the divine baptism of the first fish they encounter along the way; After a day, the holy water will complete the ultimate transformation of all the fish; After three days, the first waterfowl will swallow a lovely fish; Five days later, an industrious girl would go to the river to fetch a bucket of water and go home to drink; Eight days later, a group of farmers will water the farmer with water from the river; After ten days, the river will be drained into a city's drainage system; Eleven days later, a cat caught a mouse that had been modified by the river; After fifteen days, the dogs of the whole city will go berserk; Seventeen days later, the river will flow out of the kingdom of Winston and into the territory of Teremea...... Did you know that it takes a few days for the entire Dawn River to flow from its source to its confluence into the Comet Sea? Sixty-three days! It only takes sixty-three days! After sixty-three days, the stupid and inferior signs of life will be completely erased from the Falvi continent, every soul will be completely sublimated by equality and justice, and the perfect world belonging to the ultimate life will come, there will be no racial contradictions, no blood differences, no conflicts of interests, and there will be no war and killing, everything will be equal and harmonious, everything will be immortal, and every life will have endless time to learn, evolve, and create. We don't need gods! Eternity in hand, we are gods! Did you see that? A quarter of an hour later, the infinitely beautiful world will come, do you see, and in a quarter of an hour we will say goodbye to all the ugliness, the meanness, the lowliness, all the panic, the fear, the death, the stupidity, the dullness, the coarseness......"

“…… From man to god, from mutilated to perfect, from inferior to sacred, from earthly to heaven...... "This madman, who has forced all his great wisdom and affection into the whole world, has been moved by the perfect future he has described, and he looks at us with open arms and with affection, like a father looking lovingly at his children," ...... Just have to wait a quarter of an hour......"

A flash of brilliance flashed, and the taskbar in my adventure diary suddenly changed:

"Destroy Wagner the Rotten Zealot in fifteen minutes, stop the spread of the toxin, and save the world!"

A warm current of ecstasy poured into me, and I had never felt happier than I had ever been when I had accepted a mission. The Most High God, the merciful God, could not bear to abandon His pious children, and therefore gave me a chance to make amends. I swear I'll never miss it this time.

The impatient shouting of the Yangtze River Delta came from his ears:

"Finally listened to him and finished listening to him, hacking his girl to death......"
