Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 567: What Did That Squirrel Do (Revised)


A bright, intense "Yellow Lightning" zigzagged through the dense, toxic Fog Sea.

Before this, the trajectory of this lightning was winding, stopping occasionally in various places because Tang Qi needed to replenish Magic Power, inject Body Enhancement Agents to resist erosion, and frequently prevent some from the Order Camp's Transcendents from courting death.

Of course, importantly, he occasionally needed to collect supplies, although the frequency and efficiency were much better than other Transcendents.

But now, his path maintained a straight line.

During the process, he wouldn't even stop anymore.

"Crack~"

"Pfft"

Two distinct sounds originated from him crushing an "Original Force Crystal" and injecting a "Body Enhancement Agent."

Because of these additional actions, his speed was slightly reduced.

His figure emerged, scrambling to catch a breath.

He still maintained the appearance of a Yellow Squirrel, that immensely adorable face showing slight tension, but more so an undisguised delight.

In his mind, he automatically recalled his "new collection," a mass that resembled a "Red Sticky Fungus."

[Extraordinary Creature: Blood Angel Symbiont.]

[State: Dormant.]

[Information Fragment One: It is an exceptionally special Life Form that must form a symbiotic relationship with intelligent beings, including humans, to recover vitality; it originated from a destroyed Planet in the Exotic Realm; it is nearly Undying, only dormant due to the war.]

[Information Fragment Two: Any intelligent Life Form that forms a symbiotic relationship with the 'Blood Angel' can gain over a dozen abilities, including powerful self-healing and several Extraordinary Combat Forms.]

[Information Fragment Three: By touching blood, the dormancy of the Blood Angel can be ended, forming a symbiosis until the death of the Host.]

[Information Fragment Four: It has experienced over a dozen hosts, the previous one being the leader of the Pla Clan's third war group, the 'Red Tyrant'.]

...

A series of Information Fragments highlighted the terror of the Red Sticky Fungus.

According to the classifications of the Mysterious Side, "Blood Angel" might not count as a Demigod-level Artifact since it doesn't possess any Divinity, but it's definitely a precious and powerful "Legendary Level" Curios.

Moreover, it's the rare kind valuable in both Combat and Support.

Hmm, strictly speaking, it should be considered an Extraordinary Creature.

"Only, for me now, the Blood Angel isn't too useful, especially with a somewhat overbearing provision that once a symbiotic relationship is formed, the host can no longer cultivate other Extraordinary Powers, and the only way to dissolve it is through the host's Death... Attacks that exceed certain limits can force the Blood Angel into a 'dormant' state, causing unavoidable Death to the host."

"Like the previous host, the Red Tyrant, who encountered the Holy Confessor's full-strength strike communicated by the Lord of Thorns, instantly turned the 'Blood Angel' autistic, and the Tyrant fell along with it."

"Looking at it this way, does this fungus suit ordinary people without any strength?"

"Wait, McGraw might be able to try, after all, that 'Rubber God Secret Medicine' is somewhat vague and elusive."

Tang Qi quickly pondered and realized that the most suitable candidate for the "Blood Angel" appeared to be his sole steadfast follower, McGraw.

Although the "Rubber Secret Medicine," also with promising prospects, is a Combat Secret Medicine from the Original Secret Medicine School that ends in fragmentation.

Rather than chase after the "Rubber God," establishing a symbiosis with the Blood Angel first could let McGraw directly gain near Legendary Level combat power.

As Tang Qi was about to make a decision, suddenly at this moment, he felt something.

He turned to look behind him.

Within the dark gray "Fog Sea," masses of dark shadows surged from the distance.

Tang Qi's gaze pierced through occasional openings, instantly seeing that it was indeed a chaotic "Monstrous Army."

The main force moved silently, with Blade Storms following "Caluna Demons" one after the other, congealing those seemingly endless green eyes into a formidable spiritual Pollution, trying to use this chance to slow Tang Qi's pace.

At the forefront was their leader, the "Queen Caluna," who had inexplicably healed already.

Her oversized Mantis Head still had several holes not yet healed, showing burst green eyes.

The closing distance between them allowed their gazes to lock onto each other.

Boom!

Vast spiritual power collided in the void.

Tang Qi's fur bristled again, not just because of the pollution assault and sensing Queen Caluna's Anger, but also because around the Caluna Demon army, he saw over a dozen other shadows.

His eyes quickly reflected images of extraordinary Monster figures like the Two-faced Clown, Transformed Beast, and White-haired Giant.

Tang Qi's expression stiffened, the corner of his mouth twitched, his call no longer pleasant, inciting rage.

"An all-out manhunt for me... Is that necessary?"

This incomprehensible thought entered the minds of the pursuit army.

If a normal conversation were possible, Tang Qi would receive an obvious answer.

Very necessary!

Queen Caluna and "Two-faced Clown" these High-level Extraordinary beings.

Although they lacked Tang Qi's Special Ability to quickly unravel Information Fragments.

But sharp senses, the intuition of the strong, or detection abilities, allowed them to recognize the rarity of that "Red Sticky Fungus."

Instinctively, Queen Caluna wanted to Devour the "Blood Angel."

And people like the Two-faced Clown vaguely knew that the sticky fungus might instantly grant the organization a new "Legendary Level" strong member.

Now, it had been stolen by an "uninvited guest."

Moreover, Tang Qi's method of theft was infuriating.

So the next second, to answer Tang Qi's question, the discovered army went berserk.

Hiss!

With a hiss from "Queen Caluna," the Transcendents, including the Two-faced Clown, simultaneously fired towards Tang Qi, rapidly closing the distance that was originally quite far away.

A terrifying "flood" was about to drown Tang Qi in an instant.

They all saw the flustered Yellow Squirrel suddenly turn and accelerate.

And before it flashed away, a pair of little short hands deftly took out a bunch of Original Force Crystals, Body Enhancement Agents, Black Quartz Helmets... and other supplies from the backpack behind it, effortlessly crushing, injecting, and fitting them on its head in a smooth, flawless series of actions.

This scene left the chasing army dumbfounded, and at the same time, their fury started surging again.

Inside a huge mechanical construction ruin in the "Death Breath" Fog Sea where concentration was still rising.

Seven special agents, men and women alike, dressed in unique uniforms and with very similar dispositions, all carried an air of solemnity and iciness.

At the moment, these seven agents were surrounding a row of transparent "Low-temperature Boxes," holding different Curios and engaged in logging, detecting, and some form of assessment.

Inside each of the several low-temperature boxes lay a corpse, all of which had completely different bodily structures from humans, belonging to an unknown Species.

The leading male agent with thick eyebrows was holding a specially made white paper, containing extremely Abnormal text.

Even polymath scholars who studied "Mysterious Text" would likely be unable to recognise the specifics.

Because these were symbols invented by the brain trust of the world-scale organization "Ancient Mystical Vault," one of the hundreds of Mysterious Texts.

Symbols scribbled haphazardly, much like tadpoles.

But what they conveyed were actually three options.

Contain!

Destroy!

Abandon!

The thick-eyebrowed agent was in a dilemma.

These "Exotic Realm Race Corpses" undoubtedly possessed research value, and if it were somewhere else, they would definitely choose to contain them immediately.

But the environment here was special, containing them would come at a much greater cost.

It might even bring about the complete destruction of their entire team.

As he was holding a special pen, hesitating, suddenly a warning came from another agent in charge of vigilance.

This was a redhead female agent holding a lantern-like Curio that began to emit an unbearably shrill buzzing—a "warning," indicating an imminent high-level danger that their squad could not handle.

They all turned around simultaneously, drew their defensive and combat Curios, and gazed warily at the other end of the thick toxic air.

Boom!

Crack!

Without any warning, a Yellow Lightning bolt shot through the Fog Sea instantly, passing over the area where they stood before they could even react, accelerating forward.

During this process, even the leading agent with thick eyebrows could not make an effective response.

However, it was at this moment a voice penetrated into the minds of the seven.

"Give up containment... Leave this place."

The moment they comprehended this "reminder," the thick-eyebrowed agent immediately shouted.

"Move!"

Upon hearing the command, the other agents executed immediately.

Just two seconds later, a few hundred meters away atop an iron fortress, the seven people witnessed the vast "pursuing army" rolling past. Their strict discipline and training kept them from losing composure, but unanimously, a sense of relief arose in their hearts.

If they hadn't heeded the "squirrel's" advice, their squadron would likely have been reduced to "cannon fodder," unable to stir even the slightest ripple under the passage of the Caluna Demon army and those high-level Evil Extraordinary Monsters.

While feeling grateful, the seven also had doubts arising in their minds:

What exactly had the squirrel done to provoke such a pursuit by so many "monsters"?

The same doubt, in the next dozens of moments, simultaneously emerged in the minds of numerous Transcendents.

The Transcendents, originally exploring ruins and choosing different ways to flirt with death, all witnessed a chase.

A Yellow Squirrel!

An army of Monsters!

And during this process, just like that squad from the "Ancient Mystical Vault," due to being part of the same Order Camp, they received a friendly reminder from Tang Qi. Later, those he encountered from the official, Church, World Tree, or other Neutral and Order Organizations, all received the same warning.

However, Transcendents from the Chaotic and Evil Camp were not so fortunate.

Because of his "discriminatory treatment," the monster army continued to grow and it caused the previously calm ruins to show signs of being swept over by a terrifying storm.
