After some questioning, Su Ze got the answer he wanted.
The Evolutionary Cult does have a stronghold nearby, with two overlord-level archbishops stationed there.
The main task of this stronghold is to care for and care for the psychedelic forest.
According to the two people, this stronghold was only established in the past seven or eight years, so it can be inferred that the time when the Pope seized the fifth-order puffball was probably around that time.
As for the practice of feeding puffballs with living people, it started seven or eight years ago.
It's just that those who were sent to the Psychedelic Bacteria Forest before were almost all poor people, homeless people from Luo Fan Kingdom, and failed products used by the Evolution Cult for human experiments.
Recently, due to the great migration of the peninsula country, the people being fed are mainly refugees from the peninsula country.
"In the past, about seven or eight ten people were transported in every day. Now during this period, there are twenty or thirty people every day." The dwarf said in a low voice.
They have to transport "nutrients" to the Psychedelic Bacteria Forest every day. Each time, an archbishop leads the team and another archbishop sits at the base.
"Last question, where is your stronghold?" Su Ze asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the "last question", the expressions of the dwarf and the deformed man changed. After asking the last question, they were worthless, which also meant that death was coming.
They didn't think Su Ze would let them go.
The dwarf quickly shouted: "I will take you there!"
The deformed man reacted and quickly fought for the opportunity: "I will show you the way."
Being a leader would at least allow them to live a little longer. If something happened to Su Ze, they might still have a chance to survive.
"You two separate, one walks from the east and the other goes around from the west. You are not allowed to contact anyone on the way. I will keep an eye on you." Su Ze said.
What if the two of them lead him astray?
So he chose to stay far behind and use his sensory tentacles to monitor their every move.
After confiscating all communication items from the two of them, he watched the two of them walk away, tracking them with sensory tentacles along the way.
Then, he made two calls using the signal enhancement equipment that Brother Ya had left in the bacterial forest.
The first is to call Chen Suifeng and tell him that Brother Ya is escorting witnesses to the desert country and needs his help.
Chen Suifeng's phone was at risk of being tapped, so he told Chen Suifeng to set off immediately and not to be taken advantage of by the alien party.
The other phone call was to Brother Ya, telling him that he planned to take down the stronghold of the Evolution God Cult, and then immediately caught up with him and joined him.
Of course, he also acted according to his ability. After finding the Evolution God's stronghold, he would observe it. If something couldn't be done, forget it.
After doing all this, he used his sensory tentacles to observe the dwarf and the deformed man, and saw that both of them were taking their time, as if arriving later would help them survive a little longer.
Su Ze didn't have time to waste time with them, so he directly used his sensing tentacles to conduct electricity remotely and gave them an electric shock on their buttocks.
"hurry up!"
Su Ze's voice message urged.
The two of them were so shocked by the electric shock that they almost became incontinent. They no longer dared to deliberately slow down their work, and their pace quickened.
"start running!"
Su Ze transmitted two more electric currents, and the two of them immediately started running like horses that had their butts slapped.
Su Ze followed unhurriedly from a distance until the two began to converge in the same direction. He immediately felt the tentacles reaching towards their target location.
He saw a small mountain that looked ordinary, but the inside of the mountain had been hollowed out and built into a small modern base.
This should undoubtedly be the stronghold of the Cult of Evolution.
Su Ze's sensory tentacles penetrated it and saw the cells built inside.
At this time, these cells were already full of people, including missing people from the Luo Fan Kingdom, but more of them were refugees from the Peninsula Country.
As for the Evolution God Cult, there are not many people there. There are only seven or eight protective warriors, and their strength is in the cocoon-breaking stage to the butterfly stage.
The archbishop with the strength of a saint-level overlord was also in the base at this time. He answered the phone, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.
Su Ze guessed that he might have received the news that the puffball was destroyed. After all, it was the Pope's clone, and the Pope must have sensed it.
After the archbishop hung up the phone, he immediately made another call, but no one answered for a while, and his face looked completely ugly.
This call was made to Archbishop Martial. If no one answered, it meant that something might have happened to Archbishop Martial.
This means that this base is no longer safe.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and pushed open the decorative wall behind him, revealing a metal safe.
He cut his fingertip and dropped a drop of blood into a groove next to the lock of the safe. After a moment, the safe opened automatically.
Su Ze didn't have time to use his sensory tentacles to carefully observe every corner of the entire base, so he didn't notice the safe for the time being. But when he opened the safe and saw the contents inside, he immediately became energetic.
The interior space of the safe is divided into two layers. The upper layer is a human palm bone, but the five fingers are incomplete and only three fingers are left.
The lower level is a silver brick!
The silver-gray metal bricks made Su Ze's heart flutter and he was so greedy. He recognized them at a glance. These were exactly the bricks made of silver-gray energy!
Su Ze killed all the mutant bacteria above the fourth level in the psychedelic forest, and the silver-gray energy extracted was not even one-tenth of this silver brick.
And the Evolution God Sect’s stronghold actually stores so much!
It seems that he guessed well. Silver-gray energy is indeed a renewable resource in the psychedelic forest. Mutated bacteria above the fourth level can continue to produce silver-gray energy.
The Evolution God Cult has mastered the means to extract silver-gray energy, but they don't know how long it took them to accumulate this silver brick.
"This silver brick is destined to me!"
Su Ze immediately decided to get this silver brick, but he also knew not to be reckless.
In particular, the palm bones on the top of the safe made him fearful.
The bones that were so treasured should be a rare object, and the bones were obviously from humans, which made him even more cautious.
You know, because at Saint level and above, human evolvers are stronger than alien beasts and spiritual plants of the same level, so it also leads to the fact that strange objects from humans will be stronger than those from alien beasts and spiritual plants!
Just like the Dongli Kingdom's national treasure, the fifth-level strange object, the Dream Weaver Eye, comes from a human evolver, so its power is far superior to ordinary fifth-level strange objects.
Su Ze guessed that if it could be kept in a safe and placed together with the silver brick, this rare palm bone object was at least the fifth level.
Although Su Ze didn't take this saint-level overlord-level archbishop seriously at all, he still had to respect him if he was holding a fifth-level rare object from a human evolver.
Moreover, the call that the archbishop just received was obviously from the top brass of the Evolutionary God Religion, which meant that the powerful men of the Evolutionary God Religion would soon arrive for support.
What is certain is that the masters sent by the Evolution God Sect are at least the supreme power, and there is a high probability that there is more than one supreme.
After all, the fifth-level puffballs are dead, so the combat power they sent must be at least stronger than the puffballs.
"It may be a good opportunity for me to take action now before the strong support from the Evolution God Religion arrives, but...
"Even if I'm lucky enough to defeat the archbishop holding a fifth-level rare item and grab the silver brick, I'm afraid I'll be chased by the powerful Evolution Cult."
He and Brother Ya still have to escort a car of refugees to the desert country. It is impossible to escape the sight of the powerful Evolution Cult. It will only be a matter of time before they are discovered and overtaken.
Su Ze didn't think he could really resist the pursuit of the supreme power, especially if there was more than one supreme power.
He had previously defeated fifth-level alien beasts and mutated bacteria with the blessing of the "blood-devouring" skill, but on the way to being hunted down, there were not that many enemies for him to kill and absorb.
"But even if I give up this silver brick, I will still be hunted by the Evolution God Cult. Brother Ya and I are escorting a group of refugees, and we can't run fast."
After thinking about it, Su Ze had an idea.
He first fired two powerful electric currents from a distance, directly electrocuting the dwarf and the deformed man to death.
The two men died hundreds of meters from their base.
Afterwards, Su Ze found a hidden corner and took out a handful of golden gravel from the storage ring.
This golden gravel is the Sand of Time, and the golden energy in it can help him digest evolutionary matter instantly.
Su Ze introduced a small piece of golden energy from the Sands of Time into his body and quickly absorbed it. He immediately felt that a lot of the evolutionary matter in his body had been digested.
The purple blood crystal he absorbed before was only as difficult to digest as a fifth-level S-level extract. He trained in the spaceship some time ago and digested less than half of it.
Now use the Sands of Time to digest it quickly. Even if most of the remaining evolutionary materials are digested, it will not consume too much Sands of Time.
It is estimated that some finely divided Sand of Time will be consumed, at least the two large pieces of Sand of Time from the hermit crab beast will not be used.
Originally, Su Ze wanted to save the Sands of Time for later use, but now that danger may come and his own strength is not enough, he naturally will not hesitate.
For his own safety, so that he and Brother Ya could successfully transport the refugees as witnesses to the desert country, and also to seize the large silver brick, he did not hesitate to consume part of the Sand of Time in advance.
Regardless of whether he uses it sooner or later, it still saves him time.
That's right, Su Ze's plan is to immediately use the Sands of Time to completely digest the evolutionary substances in his body, and then directly attack the fifth evolution!
When he completes the fifth evolution and becomes the Saint-level Supreme, he will naturally not be afraid of the fifth-level strange objects and can steadily seize the silver bricks.
Even if he is chased by the supreme power of the Evolution Cult, he can deal with it calmly without having to flee in a hurry.
Su Ze believes that as long as he completes his fifth evolution, even if he enters the Supreme level for the first time, he will definitely not be weak in the Supreme level!
At that time, there will be only a handful of people on the Blue Star who can threaten him, namely those legendary strong men who have evolved six times.
There is only one legend in the Evolution Cult, and that is the Pope.
As long as the Pope doesn't come out, he won't be afraid of other strong men from the Evolution God.
"hurry up!"
Su Ze quickly absorbed the golden energy in the Sands of Time.
As the fine pieces of the Sand of Time faded away from their golden color and turned into ordinary stones, the evolutionary matter accumulated in Su Ze's body was quickly digested.
Using golden energy to digest evolved substances does not require time and is completed instantly.
Time is spent absorbing golden energy, so the progress is very fast.
Within three or two minutes, after Su Ze absorbed most of the fine Sands of Time on his body, the purple blood crystals in his body were finally completely digested.
At this point, Su Ze has achieved all the prerequisites for the fifth evolution!
Upgrade all the skills in your body to level four or above, and build a ladder leading to a higher stage of life.
Su Ze not only met the target, but also exceeded it. Not only did he upgrade all his skills to the fourth level, he also had multiple fifth-level skills, and even prototypes of magical skills!
Others built one ladder, but he built two, and what he absorbed during the Saint Overlord stage were two bloodline crystals!
It is equivalent to others building a wooden ladder, but he built a diamond ladder.
Both quantity and quality crush others. This fifth evolution is also a sure thing. Just like every previous evolution, there is no possibility of failure.
Taking a few deep breaths, Su Ze adjusted his condition slightly. Time was tight and he didn't have time to slowly adjust and relax.
But it doesn't matter, his foundation is so solid that he can evolve successfully with his eyes closed.
For others, the higher the level of life, the more difficult it is to evolve, but Su Ze accumulates greater advantages and a stronger foundation as he progresses, so there is no risk.
This is the power of "Evolution God's Grace". This is a skill that becomes more powerful in the later stages. Each evolutionary stage absorbs one more tube of extract than others, and the advantage naturally snowballs.
In addition, the extracts Su Ze absorbed were of extremely high quality, and he often absorbed them beyond the next level. When he reached the Saint level, he even absorbed blood crystals.
"evolution!"
Without any hesitation, Su Ze started his fifth evolution as soon as he had an idea.
As before, the first step is to upgrade the power of evolution.
Only after the power of evolution is upgraded, can the power of evolution be used to upgrade and transform the body and mind to complete complete evolution.
The power of evolution in Su Ze's body flowed rapidly, and a green and vibrant light emerged from his body.
Gradually, these green evolutionary powers penetrated his flesh and skin and emerged from his body.
The power of green evolution revolved around Su Ze and surrounded him, forming a green transparent energy shield.
Su Ze floated slowly, about half a meter above the ground, and was surrounded by a green energy shield. He felt that his whole body was burning, and he felt like he was about to melt.
Suddenly, he began to decompose into cells invisible to the naked eye...
During this process, his consciousness remained awake, and he could feel the wonderful changes happening to him.
During the process of his decomposition, his body continued to release energy, all kinds of messy energy, including the life energy of the regeneration core, the electrical energy stored in the body, the remaining subtle golden energy and silver-gray energy...
All these energies are absorbed by the energy shield formed by the power of evolution outside the body.
After absorbing this energy, the color of the green energy shield began to change, gradually changing towards "cyan".
After a few minutes, the energy shield completely turned opaque cyan, and the changes could no longer be seen.
However, Su Ze could feel the changes in himself. He was broken down into cells and integrated into the cyan energy shield.
Then the cyan energy shield continued to shrink, shrinking into a cyan giant egg more than half a meter high.
Su Ze's body cells were constantly being transformed by the cyan power of evolution on the "eggshell", and his genes were constantly being rewritten.
The blue dome continued to shrink and become more solid, and Su Ze felt as if his body was being compressed.
When the cyan dome shrank to the size of an ordinary egg, it seemed that it had finally reached its limit and would no longer shrink.
And it seems to contain terrifying energy, ready to burst out. The energy contains vitality, causing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees to grow wildly.
Such a conspicuous change quickly attracted some strange beasts around him. Su Ze even chose a hidden place before evolving, which seemed to be unnecessary.
However, these strange beasts felt the terrifying energy fluctuations and did not dare to approach at all. They wandered around and fled in a hurry.
Fortunately, the place he chose was still quite far away from the stronghold of the Evolutionary God Cult. Even these movements would not be noticed by the Archbishop of the Evolutionary God Cult.
About a quarter of an hour later, the cyan energy egg wrapping Su Ze's body cells began to slowly grow in size again, and Su Ze's body cells continued to reorganize within it.
The first thing to take shape was his heart, like a big burning iron furnace, gushing out vitality and heat.
After that, with the heart as the core, blood vessels, bones, and pieces of flesh and blood were gradually built up.
When the cyan energy egg enlarged to the size of a person, Su Ze's body had been completely formed in the dome.
At this time, the energy of the cyan dome had become thinner and became transparent again. A trace of evolutionary power was integrated into Su Ze's body during the reorganization process.
Looking at Su Ze's body through the dome, every part is like jade carving, flawless, and exudes a beauty that coincides with the way of nature.
His skin seemed to have a transparent color, and you could vaguely see the flow of blood in his body, the beating of his heart, and his bones were as crystal clear as jade, like a natural work of art.
Su Ze slowly opened his eyes, and stars seemed to be visible in his eyes, but they were fleeting.
call……
He took a deep breath, and the cyan energy shield outside his body was sucked into his mouth like a ball of air.
At the same time, his brain sank slightly, and then became clearer. His mental power also completed its transformation and was enhanced.
At this point, Su Ze's fifth evolution is completely completed!
He also officially became the supreme powerhouse!
The terrifying momentum was like a storm, with Su Ze as the center and sweeping in all directions.
The trees hundreds of meters around seemed to have been damaged by a storm, all falling down, and all the strange beasts in the area were frightened to death.
Having just completed his promotion, Su Zeshang could not move freely.
He clenched his fists, familiarized himself with his own strength, and his body floating in the air slowly fell.
boom!
The ground trembled slightly, and when Su Ze landed, it was as if a huge boulder had hit the ground, and the ground sank directly into a deep pit.
His current body is too heavy. It was originally made of steel and iron bones, with amazing bone density. After undergoing the fifth strengthening, his physical body has further strengthened, and his weight is probably measured in "tons".
He immediately used his flying skills to offset part of his weight, and then stood steadily on the ground.
At this time, Su Ze felt a thin layer of black mucus emerge from the surface of his skin, exuding a faint stench.
This is another stench from the dirty one. Every time he completes his evolution and improves his life level, he will emit some of it.
I just don’t know how many times it will take to evolve before the stench can be completely eliminated.
When Su Ze evolved, he never forgot to pay attention to the stronghold of the Evolution Cult. The archbishop also took advantage of this moment to do a lot of things.
He summoned several protective warriors and gave them some instructions. Then one of them came to the gate of the base with a rare palm bone object and a silver nugget, seemingly ready to leave.
The protective warriors came outside the cells where the refugees were detained, seeming to be waiting for something.
But the movement that occurred after Su Ze successfully evolved seemed to alarm the archbishop, and he immediately fled deep into the Lianshui Rainforest without hesitation.
The guardian warriors in the base seemed to have received some instructions and began to take action against the refugees in the cells. One by one, the refugees died under their hands.
Are you planning to kill people and silence them, leaving less evidence?
Su Ze flew up, so fast that he couldn't even catch the afterimage, and in an instant he was over the stronghold of the Evolution God Sect.
Electricity as thick as the mouth of a bowl shot out from his body, like a silver dragon, burrowing into the stronghold, using its sensory tentacles as conductors, and rushed into the bodies of several protective warriors.
Several protective warriors were immediately hit by the electric current, turned into charcoal, and fell to the ground lifeless.
Su Ze did not stop, but separated a liquid clone from his body to deal with the refugees. The speed of his main body increased again, chasing the archbishop.
The red-clothed archbishop of the Evolution God Sect was flying all the way, clutching the strange metacarpal bone in his hand.
He constantly used his mental power to observe the rear to see if there were any pursuers.
But there is a huge gap in the flight speed between the Overlord level and the Supreme level. How can he outrun Su Ze?
Su Ze was not good at speed. That was compared to Brother Ya, but he was still faster than the average flying speed of the same level, let alone chasing an overlord who was one level lower than himself.
In just a moment, he narrowed the distance between him and the red archbishop.
And when the distance between the two was less than a kilometer, he suddenly felt a strong attraction coming from the metacarpal bone in the red archbishop's hand.
"This is... a material that can upgrade my skills?"
Su Ze was overjoyed, but he didn't expect an unexpected gain!
After completing the fifth evolution, his skills will undergo the next round of major upgrades. All of his skills must be upgraded to level five before he can undergo the sixth evolution.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it evolved, I would encounter suitable upgrade materials.
After his "evolutionary grace" was fully replenished, he had the ability to sense materials suitable for him at long distances. From nearly a kilometer away, he felt the attraction of the strange palm bone object to him.
Su Ze speeded up again, and in a blink of an eye, he was standing in front of the archbishop.
Without saying a word, the red archbishop raised his metacarpal bone, and the middle finger of the three remaining fingers on the metacarpal bone suddenly lit up with black light.
A shadow exuding corrosion and filth came towards Su Ze.
"It's rude to give someone the middle finger."
Su Ze was not panicked. He had become a supreme being and was not afraid of strange objects of the same level.
He wrapped his hand with lightning and caught the shadow.
