Chapter 677: Chapter 505: Mysterious Village (Two in One)_2
Without the extraordinary plant known as the Sun Flower, no matter how much they researched, they couldn’t find a way to decipher it.
“Please go ahead.”
The man spread open his palm, indicating for him to drink the potion.
Morris looked at the small bottle in his hand, his heart filled with complexity.
The points his squad had worked so hard to earn were now exchanged for just this tiny bottle of potion.
Although the potion indeed looked very impressive, with its golden liquid sparkling within, clearly signifying it was no ordinary item.
But as so kind of gene liquid that could transform the human body—at least that’s what Morris thought—it required trendous courage to down it in one gulp, even with the guarantee of a powerful force like the Wildfire Tavern.
After telling him once, the man didn’t urge him further but quietly waited for him to make a choice.
Eventually, Morris clenched his teeth hard, his eyes shorn of hesitation, and opened the bottle to drink its contents in one go.
“Very good, the potion will take effect for about a week, try to avoid over-exertion during this period, and there’s no need to abstain from any foods.”
The man gave a cautionary word, then waved his hand and said,
“Go now, it’s very dangerous around here recently, and although you are a bounty hunter, I still want to remind you to be careful.”
Morris gripped the empty bottle tightly, nodding solemnly before turning to leave.
The man watched Morris’s departing figure with a soft sigh, opened the wristwatch on his left hand, and continued with the intelligence work he had been doing before.
He was none other than Lord Bear, who had co to provide support.
A few days ago, the Star Alliance received ssages from Hu Peng and Xun You, indicating that the number of Alien Species in Bali had increased sharply, mostly concentrated around sewer rats.
The two decided to investigate further, but due to the overwhelming number of monsters, they needed more support, as they were sowhat stretched just by themselves.
Lord Bear had co as reinforcents.
Now, he was communicating with the two of them through the wristwatch, but to his surprise, Hu Pengxun had found a secret base belonging to their adversaries.
The projected image from the wristwatch appeared to be a small village.
Many figures in black robes moved about, and unintelligible whispers echoed around, as if they were performing so kind of peculiar prayer.
This footage was sent by Hu Peng, and after that, the duo lost contact with the organization.
“Huff…”
Letting out a long breath, Lord Bear accessed the community tab on his wristwatch, and clicked on the na marked “Ji Xing.”
Although constantly turning to the Star Lord for help made him feel sowhat helpless, with Hu Peng and Xun You missing, he had to consider their safety and ask the Star Lord to help locate them.
At this mont, it was deep into the night in Gaul, while morning was just breaking in Hua Xia Country, and Zhang Xiaoman was standing at the door of the Abnormality Departnt with his “Invisibility” activated.
The so-called invisibility wasn’t an actual ability to beco invisible, but rather a Dark Energy Technique he possessed—the Expelling Spell.
This ability could make ordinary people subconsciously overlook the caster’s presence, and if applied to a structure, it would have the sa effect.
Of course, if you slapped soone, they would still notice you.
However, this skill was limited by duration, so it couldn’t be used in the Wildfire Tavern on a permanent basis.
Zhang Xiaoman set down the things he was holding—two boxes, one large and one small. The large box contained the corpses of Mutant Beasts, and the small one held Spirit Binding Scrolls and Sun Essence Potions.
These items were part of an exchange he had been doing with the Abnormality Departnt.
He provided Mutant Beast corpses and so Extraordinary Items, and in return he got various results from them, such as research data on Mutant Beasts, special materials, or even the corpses of Alien Species.
Both parties could be said to have gotten what they needed.
As for how they contacted each other, of course, it was through that long string of numbers he had left them in his voice mailbox.
After arranging the items, Zhang Xiaoman looked around and genuinely admired the construction speed of these people.
There was no Re-Titanium Crystal Gel, nor was there a World Tree.
In just a month or two, the Third Research Institute that had been damaged in the fight against the Emperor Vine had almost been rebuilt.
But this ti was different from the past; not only was the scale of the research institute larger, but its construction style had also changed from a high-rise building to an underground facility.
To prevent the recurrence of the last incident and to reinforce the institute’s defensive power, the new Three Institutes were built 30 ters underground, which bore so similarities to the main base of the Star Alliance.
At this mont, the bustling crowd around Zhang Xiaoman paid him no heed – it was eerie that a living person standing there remained unnoticed by anyone.
On his wrist, his watch suddenly lit up, and Zhang Xiaoman looked down to see that it was a call from Lord Bear.
With a flicker of Unlimited Teleportation, he returned to the Dawn, opened the communication request on his watch, and Lord Bear’s holographic projection imdiately appeared before him.
“Star Lord, there is sothing I need to report to you…”
“…”
A mont later, after understanding the cause and effect of the situation, Zhang Xiaoman ended the communication with Lord Bear.
According to him, not long after Hu Peng and Xun You entered that small village, the communication signal from their watches was disrupted.
Such a situation imdiately reminded him of creatures like the Fog Heart.
Only those Extraordinary Creatures had the ability to block the communication of the Star Alliance’s high-tech watches.
Of course, given that the location was a base of the Plague Church, it was likely that the disruption was caused by that strange type of stone.
Just like with the Fog Heart, within the range of those black stones, machinery and signals would also be blocked.
Zhang Xiaoman once again activated the Ability of Unlimited Teleportation, but this ti he did not imdiately lock onto the target to teleport. Instead, he maintained the pre-teleportation sense, trying to pinpoint the location of Hu Peng and Xun You.
This sensation was very vague, unable to allow for precise observation, and could only faintly discern the outlines of the surrounding environnt.
“Huh? Have these two infiltrated the enemy’s headquarters?”
In Zhang Xiaoman’s perception, Hu Peng and Xun You were stealthily hiding behind a corner, peeking out to observe the scene in the distance.
And in front of them, there seed to be a large group of people gathering together, engaged in so unknown activity.
Having located the target, Zhang Xiaoman did not delay any further, imdiately activated his Skill, and silently teleported beside the two.
Hu Peng and Xun You were currently crouched by the wall, intently observing the scene in front of them when they suddenly felt a hand on their shoulder.
The two were shocked, never expecting soone to appear behind them without a sound.
Moreover, if it weren’t for the hand that was placed on their shoulder, they wouldn’t have even noticed the presence.
“Damn! We’ve been spotted!”
Hu Peng whispered, and the strength within his body burst out instantaneously, ready to turn around and strike at the intruder to make an escape.
Xun You was the sa. Their Combat Skills and awareness had grown so strong that they could find the most effective way to defeat an enemy in the shortest amount of ti.
However, sothing even more astonishing happened.
The hand on their shoulder felt as heavy as a mountain resting upon them.
Despite summoning all their Strength, they were still unable to make a move.
Now, it wasn’t just their shoulders; they felt as though their entire bodies were immobilized by a powerful force, leaving them unable to move at all.
Just as they were filled with surprise and anger, the pressure suddenly eased, and a familiar voice sounded in their ears:
“Don’t panic, it’s who has co.”
