As soon as Zhang Xiaoman said these words, the golden light in his eyes suddenly fluctuated. In his field of vision, several figures were flying towards here.
"A different species? Or a mutant?"
He stood up and walked out the door.
Wes also ran over at this time.
"Star Lord, I just found a body in a room. It should be that of the security personnel. I found this in his pocket."
He said and took out a mobile phone.
"Very good. You can keep it for now. When you get back, hand it over to the Canglan Department and let them break the code and see if they can find any useful information."
Zhang Xiaoman was making arrangements in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the direction in which the figures were coming.
Weiss seemed to have noticed something, and turned around to follow his gaze, but found nothing.
"Star Lord, is it...?"
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and motioned for him to stand behind him.
"There are fifteen in total, um... they all came towards us. It is estimated that the target is this stone, but it is not ruled out that they discovered us through some special means."
When Weiss heard that there were fifteen, his heart suddenly tightened.
But when he looked up and saw the figure blocking his path, he couldn't help but calm down.
This is the leader of the organization. What thigh can be thicker than the one in front of him? There is no need to worry if you follow behind.
He thought so and felt relieved.
In just a few words, the fifteen monsters over there had already rushed closer.
There was just a rustle in the woods, and then a roar came, and a group of huge wolf-like creatures at least two meters tall rushed out.
Their bodies were full of ulcers, their eyes were red, and there were many disgusting tentacles sprouting from their bodies. Some of them even had more than one head. At this moment, they were all looking at the two people in the field with greedy eyes.
Even though he knew that he had Star Master here, Weiss still couldn't help but swallowed after seeing this scene.
Regardless of the number or appearance of these monsters in front of them, the pressure they bring is too great.
Especially since the opponents are all extraordinary creatures with useful dark energy. Although their dark energy intensity seems to be very low in Zhang Xiaoman's eyes, in the eyes of an ordinary person like Weiss, the unabashed pressure from the life level makes him It feels like my heart has stopped a little.
"Chirp!"
A chirp sounded, and the chirp flew directly to Weiss's head.
After a flash of light, a circular shadow immediately enveloped him, appearing to be a shield.
This shield is entirely light blue, looming, and will not affect the vision of the person protected inside at all.
In addition, there are two big fox ears on the shield, which looks a bit cute.
This was Zhang Xiaoman's first time coming into contact with these monsters and he didn't know how strong they were. Just in case, let Jiujiu use a shield to protect Weiss in case of an accident.
Obviously, these guys in front of me must have run out of this laboratory.
It seems that they should have been modified mutant beasts before, and then they all turned into aberrations after coming into contact with the black stone.
"A mutant that turned into a mutant? Interesting..."
Zhang Xiaoman slowly raised his right hand, with the palm facing up and holding it flat in front of his eyes, as if dragging an invisible magic weapon.
At the same time, the wolves over there also moved.
The leader, a giant wolf with two heads, looked up to the sky and let out a roar. All the monsters, as if they had received instructions, spread out their limbs and rushed out together with a terrifying momentum.
West, who was behind him, immediately clenched his fists, his palms filled with sweat.
"Huh~"
Zhang Xiaoman let out a gentle breath, raised his right hand suddenly, and pressed down hard with his palm.
The giant wolves were now less than fifty meters away from the two of them, and some of the closer ones had even jumped into the air, intending to pounce directly on the person in front of them.
But at this moment, as Zhang Xiaoman waved his right hand, the surrounding air suddenly fluctuated, and a distortion visible to the naked eye occurred in front of the two of them.
"boom!"
The next moment, a violent roar sounded.
The monsters seemed to be pressed by an invisible mountain, and instantly collapsed on the ground. Some of the monsters that jumped high disappeared into the air and crashed into the ground.
A burst of smoke spread out, and the surrounding ground trembled.
Weiss felt his eyes blur as the giant wolves that were running suddenly disappeared, followed closely by a puff of dust.
"What, what's going on...?"
Weiss, who looked confused, said that he had no idea what was going on. The wolves that had been charging towards him and others with great force just now were all gone in an instant.
"Well... although there are some dark energy fluctuations, it is still too weak..."
What Zhang Xiaoman used just now was naturally the dark energy shock he was most familiar with.
However, this time it was different from the previous fine control. This time he went for power and released a full consumption shock stored in the time imprint at once. The power of more than 1,000 dark energy limit instantly killed these aberrations.
He looked at the scene in front of him, waved his hand gently, and a weak dark energy oscillation was used to blow away the diffuse smoke and dust.
Suddenly, the scene in the field appeared before their eyes.
I didn't know when a huge depression appeared on the ground, and in it, the corpses of those giant wolves were lying on the ground as if they were crushed by heavy objects. Both their bodies and heads had been crushed. .
"Uh, uh..."
Seeing this scene, Weiss' throat trembled unconsciously. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Shocking!
It’s so shocking!
He never imagined that the Star Master's casual waving and pressing action could have such terrifying power.
Fifteen giant wolves were killed in an instant!
I originally thought it would be a big war, but unexpectedly, the war ended so quickly. Strictly speaking, it probably wouldn't even take a second...
Weiss wiped the sweat from his forehead, and had a new understanding of how terrifying his boss was.
Compared to those dead giant wolves, the boss is more like a monster. This kind of power is not something that humans can possess.
He swallowed and became more determined to follow the organization.
At some point, Jiu Jiu lay down on Zhang Xiaoman's shoulder again, caressing his chin affectionately with her round little head.
Zhang Xiaoman got closer and tried to use the Starry Eyes ability to absorb points, but failed as expected.
These aberrations contaminated by stone fragments, just like those second-generation insects, cannot provide essence.
"Wes, you and Anna and the others should go back first. Just leave the rest of the things here to me. I'll have someone pick you up at the tavern later."
He said something to Weiss, then turned and entered the wooden house.
"I see……"
Weiss, on the other hand, kept staring at the squashed corpses of the giant wolves. After a long while, he responded as if muttering to himself.
He came back to his senses, looked at the room where Star Master entered, then looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated eyes, and then turned and left.
Zhang Xiaoman walked around the wooden house, looking for other clues, and finally found an experimental report on mutant beasts in a drawer.
"Experiment name: Dire wolf...Experiment type: Genetic modification experiment...Adopt genetic plan: Elero wolf, Chordata, Mammalia, Eutheria... Impala, Chordata, Mammalia, Artiodactyla... …African wild dog, Phylum Chordata, Order Carnivora…Gene ratio: 76% Elero wolf…4% impala, 7% African wild dog, 2% husky…”
Looking at the dense experimental reports recorded in his hand, Zhang Xiaoman sighed slightly. This professional thing still needs a professional person, and he couldn't understand it at all.
After flipping through a few more pages, in addition to some specific experimental processes, there are also many post-experiment observation logs.
It can be seen from this that these animals are very miserable. They are kept in cages all day long, tortured by various cruel experiments, and they are in fear and have no hope.
Shaking his head slightly, he felt helpless. Although he sympathized with these creatures, since they had turned into monsters, he could not be merciful. That would only harm more people.
Therefore, all he can do now is to help them escape. After all, even Jiujiu cannot purify monsters that have been completely infected.
After putting away the experimental research report, Zhang Xiaoman summoned a few more satellites and asked them to help him find similar items in the base. Then he came to the stone.
I touched it gently and found something cold.
I tried to activate the ability of Starry Eyes to absorb it, but disappointingly, this thing still couldn't provide points.
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes froze for a moment, and he thought for a moment, then suddenly exerted his strength and launched the Mountain Collapse Technique, which immediately broke the stone in front of him into pieces.
I activated Starry Eyes again, but the result was still the same as before, no response.
"Still no points... It seems that my Starry Eyes cannot absorb the essence of objects..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and guessed.
According to normal logic, all alien species that come directly from different dimensions are provided with points.
But there are exceptions to this situation, such as those wild insects. After the original wild insects from another dimension come to reproduce, the remaining descendants of the insects cannot provide points.
The same situation applies to the aberrations just now.
But now he found that the black stone that caused all this could not provide points, which was a bit surprising.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's guess, there are only three possibilities for this situation.
The first possibility is that this black stone is not the product of the fusion of different dimensions, but something that already exists on the Aqua Blue Star, so naturally it cannot absorb the essence.
The second possibility is that the stone in front of you is completely different from those corpses. It cannot provide points by itself. Just like objects such as the Soul Touching Flower and the Sun Flower, it is a type that the system cannot absorb.
As for the third possibility, it was also the one he least wanted to see.
That is the black stone in front of me. Like those insect descendants and aberrations, it is also a derivative. Behind it, there is a higher-level subject.
"Currently, the second scenario is the most likely... But no matter what, as long as it's not the third scenario..."
Zhang Xiaoman muttered softly, with a slightly worried look on his face.
"Well, but there is another problem at hand, what should I do with the stone fragments here."
He looked at the things on the ground. Since he couldn't absorb it, and this kind of stone could affect normal creatures, would it be worth researching if he took it back?
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
Not to mention that it is too dangerous to do so, but after taking it back, your own people may not be able to study it.
After all, it is not a biological thing, but an extraordinary item. Even if it needs to be studied, he, an extraordinary person, should study it.
And after taking it back, he may not have a place to put it. If someone accidentally sees it and he happens to be away, the consequences will be very serious.
The Star Alliance is its base camp, and there is absolutely no room for failure.
After much thought, he decided to take this thing back to the original realm first. At least there was no one else there for the time being, so he could safely keep it.
"Chirp!"
While he was thinking about it, the chirp on his shoulder suddenly called out, and then chirped something to Zhang Xiaoman.
"Oh? You mean, you can purify the breath on this stone?"
Jiujiu nodded vigorously.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and give it a try, but you'd better leave a piece for me and I'll take it back to prevent it from being used in the future."
He said this because he also wanted to see what this stone would look like after being filled with the essence of Jiujiu.
The little blue fox immediately responded happily, then flew in front of the stone fragments, its body emitted bursts of light, and began to purify things on the ground.
The whole step was the same as the previous pollution in Essence Weiss's body, except that the process was much longer and took several minutes to complete.
The red lines on the stone disappeared. Looking at the stone fragments that returned to their normal appearance, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but frown.
If it is said that the polluted air on this stone can be purified by Chi Chi, it is probably to say that there is nothing wrong with the stone itself.
Now the question arises, what exactly caused it to become like this.
The ominous guess in my heart also surfaced again at this time. Zhang Xiaoman's expression became more solemn, feeling that things were developing in the direction he least wanted to see.
Sighing, he knelt down and picked up a few stone fragments, intending to take them back to show to the people at the institute.
Now that the red lines on it have been purified, it should be no problem to take the rest back.
Even if there is an accident, he is still there and can treat those people as soon as possible.
He also ordered the satellites to inspect the base, and after summarizing all the research materials found, Zhang Xiaoman summoned a small fire python and burned the place to the ground.
