Thinking of the two people he saw at Erault last time, several thoughts flashed through Morris' mind.
He looked at Phillip's back as he turned and left, and couldn't help shouting:
"Wait, I have something else to say!"
Phillip stopped and turned around impatiently, with a very unhappy tone:
"What's up?"
Morris looked a little uneasy. He subconsciously glanced at the door behind the other party, and then said:
"Philip, we have collected the points and want to exchange them for a bottle of sun essence!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone present turned their eyes to this side, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Phillip over there was still a little impatient, but now he gradually became stunned. He didn't expect that someone could collect the points to exchange for something like that so quickly.
But after thinking for a moment, he felt relieved.
If it were other hunter teams, few would be able to meet the standard, but Morris and the others were different.
They are relatively well-known hunters in the circle. They have been catching mice recently, so it is not surprising that they can achieve such results.
After all, the nickname "Rodent Exterminator Squad" is not for nothing.
Phillip stopped and looked at them, his eyes changing from unexpected shock to deep envy.
"Hehe, I have to say that you are lucky. This medicine is usually out of stock, but today is an exception..."
He said, making a wait gesture, then turned and entered the room.
Morris and the others looked at each other for a while, feeling very nervous.
Especially Morris himself was the most excited.
There was no way, after all, the bottle of potion was redeemed for him to drink.
Phillip went into the house and came out again soon.
He waved to this side, and the envy on his face became a little stronger.
"Hey, you're lucky, that adult lets you in, come here quickly."
The people in Morris' team were ready to follow after hearing this, but were stopped by Phillip.
"Stop, stop, stop! Who told you to come here too? There is only one adult there, so what are you talking about when so many of you rush in together!"
Those people suddenly showed their displeasure when he scolded them like this.
However, although they looked unhappy, they did not dare to break in and could only spit out the fragrance.
There was no way, a few people couldn't bear the consequences of causing trouble in the Wildfire Tavern.
On the other side, in the room.
Maurice walked into the room at Philip's signal and saw the adult he was talking about.
Contrary to expectations, there was only one person sitting there in the room, and he was not a young man, but a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty or forty years old.
The man was dressed in green clothes with gold trim, and his body was muscular. He sat there like a tiger, exuding an astonishing aura. Even Morris, a veteran hunter, couldn't help but feel palpitations when he saw it.
"sit down."
The man pointed to the sofa in front of him and softly uttered two words.
In an instant, Morris felt the pressure on his body relax, as if the burden he had been carrying had been lifted, and his whole body became relaxed.
Obeying the other party's request honestly, Morris looked at the other party with fear in his eyes.
To be able to make that guy Philip feel so in awe and put such pressure on himself, the person in front of him must also be a warrior with extraordinary power.
The scene he saw on the beach once again resurfaced in his mind. Compared to the two young men, the middle-aged man seemed to be even more unfathomable.
Morris sat awkwardly, but the man opposite did not speak, but looked at him quietly.
"Uh, I don't know what to call sir...?"
Finally, Morris couldn't stand the dull and depressing atmosphere at the scene and spoke first.
The man did not pretend to be cool with him, but slowly spoke out a few words:
"You can call me, 'Taotie'."
"Tao...Tie...?"
Morris repeated it, but due to pronunciation problems, he spoke very stumblingly and did not understand the meaning.
The man obviously had no intention of explaining this matter. He took out a bottle of golden potion from the lining pocket of his clothes and placed it gently on the table.
"You want to redeem the sun essence? Do you already know the rules for redemption?"
"Uh, rules...?"
Morris looked confused, obviously not understanding what the rules he was talking about were.
The man pushed the vial forward and slid it in front of him, while also speaking out the specific content of the rules.
"Anyone who redeems sun essence is not allowed to take the potion away and must drink it on the spot."
"Drink it on the spot...?"
Morris was slightly startled when he heard this, and then reacted.
If this is really a bottle of potion that can make people transform into extraordinary beings, it would make sense to add such a restriction when someone redeems it.
After all, a potion like this must be very precious and rare. If someone with evil intentions takes it back, there is no telling what it will be used for.
If someone could study and decipher the secret, the value of this potion to the Wildfire Tavern would also be greatly reduced.
But this was actually because he was overthinking it. The Star Alliance was not afraid that someone would be able to copy the formula of the sun essence.
After all, this potion has no formula at all. It simply extracts the juice of the sun flower and puts it into a bottle.
Without an extraordinary plant like the Flower of the Sun, no matter how much they researched, they would not be able to find a way to crack it.
"please."
The man opened his palm and motioned for him to drink the potion.
Morris looked at the small bottle in his hand and felt very complicated. The points that his team had worked hard to obtain for so long were finally exchanged for such a small bottle of potion.
Although this potion does look very powerful, the golden yellow liquid shines in it, making it extremely extraordinary at first glance.
But as a genetic fluid that can transform the human body - at least that's what Morris thinks - even if it has a big force like the Wildfire Tavern as a guarantee, it takes a lot of courage to just swallow it.
After the man said it, he didn't urge him anymore, but quietly waited for him to make a choice.
Finally, Morris gritted his teeth, the hesitation in his eyes faded away, opened the cork of the bottle and drank the contents in one gulp.
"Very good. The potion will take effect in about a week. During this period, try to avoid excessive exercise and no dietary restrictions."
The man paid attention, then waved his hand and said:
"Let's go. It's very dangerous here during this time. Even though you are a bounty hunter, I still want to remind you to proceed with caution."
Morris clenched the empty bottle in his hand, nodded solemnly, and then turned around and went out.
The man looked at the other person's leaving figure, sighed slightly, opened the watch on his left hand, and continued his previous intelligence work.
He is Mr. Bei who is here to provide support.
A few days ago, the Star Alliance received news from Hu Peng and Xun You that the number of mutant beasts in Bali had increased sharply, and most of them were rats concentrated in the sewers.
The two decided to investigate further, but due to the large number of monsters, they were a little unable to do it alone and needed more support.
Mr. Bei came here as reinforcements this time.
Now, he was communicating with the two people through the watch in his hand, but to his surprise, Hu Pengxun and two people actually found a secret base of the other party.
The picture projected from the watch showed that it seemed to be a small village, with many figures in black robes walking around. From time to time, there would be some unexplained murmurs, as if they were performing some kind of strange prayer. .
This video was sent back by Hu Peng. After that, the two lost contact with the organization.
"call……"
After letting out a long breath, Mr. Bei brought up the friend interface in the watch community and clicked on the name marked "Pole Star".
Although it would be useless to go to the Star Master when something happened, Hu Peng and Xun were currently missing. Considering each other's safety, he could only ask the Star Master to locate the other party.
At this time, it was late night in Gaul and morning in China. Zhang Xiaoman was standing in front of the door of the Yitong Department with his "Stealth" on.
The so-called invisibility is naturally not the real invisibility ability, but the dark energy technique he has mastered - the expulsion spell.
This ability allows ordinary people to subconsciously ignore the location of the caster. If it is blessed on certain buildings, it can also have the same effect.
Of course, if you rush up and slap someone, they will still notice you.
However, this skill has a limited duration, so it cannot be applied to all Wildfire Taverns for the time being.
Zhang Xiaoman put down the things in his hands. They were two boxes, one large and one small. The large box contained the bodies of some mutant beasts, and the small box contained some spiritual scrolls and sun essence potions.
These things were exactly what he had done with the Foreign Ministry these days in exchange.
He provides the body of the mutant beast and some extraordinary props, and the other party gives back other results to him, such as research information on the mutant beast, or some special materials, or even the corpse of the alien species.
Both sides can be regarded as getting what they need.
As for the method of contact, it was naturally the voicemail with a long list of numbers that he had left for them before.
After putting the things away, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the surrounding scene and truly admired the construction speed of this group of people.
There is no complex titanium crystal gel, and there is no world tree. In just a month or two, the third research institute that was previously fighting against Teito has been almost completely rebuilt.
But this time is different from the past. Not only is the scale of the institute larger, but its construction method has also changed from high-rise buildings to underground buildings.
In order to prevent encountering the same situation as last time in the future, and to strengthen the defense of the institute, this time the new third institute was built 30 meters underground, which is similar to the main base of the Star Alliance. at.
At this time, the crowds coming and going around turned a blind eye to Zhang Xiaoman. A big living person was standing here but no one noticed him.
The watch on his hand suddenly lit up. Zhang Xiaoman raised his hand and looked at it. It was a call from Mr. Bei.
After an infinite teleportation, he returned to the Shuguang. He clicked on the communication request of the watch, and the three-dimensional projection of Mr. Bei immediately appeared in front of him.
"Star Lord, there is something I need to report to you..."
"..."
After a while, after understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Zhang Xiaoman hung up the communication with Mr. Bei.
According to what the other party said, not long after Hu Peng and Xun You entered the small village, the communication signal of the watch was interrupted.
When such a situation occurs, he immediately thinks of monsters like Mistheart. Only these extraordinary creatures can block the communication of the Covenant's black technology watch.
Of course, since the location of the two of them was a base of the Plague Church, the thing that could cause all this should be that weird stone.
Just like the center of the fog, within the range of the black stone, machinery and signals will also be blocked.
Zhang Xiaoman once again activated the ability of infinite teleportation, but this time he did not immediately lock the target and teleport. Instead, he maintained the sensing state before teleportation and sensed the positions of Hu Peng and Xun You.
This kind of sensing is very vague and cannot be observed accurately. It can only vaguely see the outline of the surrounding environment.
"Huh? Have these two people broken into the local base camp?"
In Zhang Xiaoman's perception, Hu Peng and Xun You were sneaking behind a corner, sticking their heads out to observe the scene in the distance.
And in front of them, unknown, it seemed that a large number of people were gathering together, and they didn't know what they were doing.
After finding the target, Zhang Xiaoman didn't waste much time. He immediately activated his skills and teleported to the two of them silently.
Hu Peng and Xun You were leaning against the wall at the moment, concentrating on observing the scene in front of them, when they suddenly felt a hand on their shoulders.
The two of them were shocked. They never thought that someone could appear behind them silently, and they wouldn't even be able to notice it if the other person hadn't put a hand on their shoulders.
"Not good! I've been discovered!"
Hu Peng let out a low cry, and the power in his body exploded instantly. He wanted to turn around and give the opponent a blow in order to escape.
The same goes for Xun You on the side. Their fighting skills and awareness are now extremely powerful, and they have been able to find the most correct way to defeat the enemy in the shortest time.
However, something happened that shocked them even more.
The hand on the shoulder was pressing down on them like a mountain. Although the two of them had mobilized all their strength, they were still unable to make any movement.
Now, it's not just their shoulders, they even feel that their whole body is imprisoned by a powerful force, unable to move.
Just when the two of them were shocked and angry, they suddenly felt that the power suddenly relaxed, and a familiar voice also sounded in their ears:
"Don't be nervous, I'm here."
