78: Chapter 78 [Forbidden Residue No. 832]

"Roar——!"

"Behave!"

[ Ghost Howl ] activated!

Wang Suming struggled to lift the large shield in front of him, his muscles turning red and swelling due to excessive force and high-intensity source energy operation, and his face under the helmet was flushed to the point that it seemed like it could drip blood.

However.

Even though a gully several meters deep was plowed out under his feet,

he still managed to block Lizardman Leader Molov, who was attempting to break through the [ freezing magic trap ] set by Song Jiaojiao, right within the range of the trap.

The cracking sound of ice crystals condensing quickly froze the turbulent river water.

Also at a speed visible to the naked eye, like bone-gnawing maggots of ghostly white, in the blink of an eye, a layer of ice armor was cast over the huge monster that had swelled to a full ten meters.

Song Jiaojiao's hand holding the magic wand was trembling.

If it were not for her other hand injecting an [ omega venom stimulant ] into her leg just now, the current source energy consumption would simply not have allowed her to prepare a large-scale magic of this level.

"Chu Hong! Quick! I can't hold on for much longer!" Song Jiaojiao cried out anxiously.

Accompanied by a prolonged stream of air,

Chu Hong's figure fiercely flew from a lonely standing wooden stake by the river directly to the top of the boss [ Lizardman Leader Molov ]'s head.

The bullets that could break the opponent's defense under the dense shooting just now, but could not cause much substantial damage at all,

at this moment, finally roared back to life.

[ lord m14 ] was pressed against Molov's huge bald head, which was big enough for a person to stand on.

"Da da da..."

The skull shattered, mixed with splashing ice debris.

The moment a stream of blood shooting out from the cranium splashed onto the armor on Chu Hong's body and his mask, Molov, who was still roaring and struggling in the freezing river water,

finally stiffened in body.

Then slowly fell backward in front.

"Boom!"

The ice surface shattered.

Molov's giant-like corpse, standing fully ten meters high, had half of its body resting in the river water, resembling a broken river-blocking dam.

Wang Suming sat down on the ground with a pale face.

Panting heavily.

"Holy shit, holy shit... This thing is too abnormal, even [ Brother Hong ]'s gold bullets couldn't kill him..."

Chu Hong's expression was also a bit ugly.

Out of the nearly two hundred gold bullets on his body, just to deal with this boss "mutated" by the [ Night Crow Society ], it consumed a full one hundred and twenty.

The heart-aching Chu Hong couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes!

He took a deep breath and pressed his hand directly onto the huge corpse.

Searching [ Berserk Molov ]: ...

Looking at the changed name on the panel, Chu Hong's heart couldn't help but harbor some expectations.

Three search black boxes, one with one grid, one with two grids, and finally one with one grid.

It still had a lot of style!

[ Ding! ]

A trace of brilliant gold bloomed, one [ orc empire gold coin ].

[ Ding! ]

Another trace of brilliant gold, Chu Hong's expression moved slightly.

This drop rate seemed to be much higher than the previous ordinary [ Lizardman Leader Molov ].

A crimson eyeball pendant wrapped in hollowed-out mithril appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

[ Item Name ]: Puppet Pupil

[ Item Grade ]: Gold

[ Type ]: Crafted Collection

[ Weight ]: 0.1 kg

[ Inventory Grid Capacity Occupied ]: 1 × 2

[ Item Description ]: A symbol of status that can only be worn by figures such as leaders or sacrifices in the [ Orc Empire ] tribes. Wearing it can not only reduce mana consumption during combat but also accelerate mana recovery.

Song Jiaojiao, who was squatting on the ground with a tired look, instantly lit up her eyes.

Chu Hong didn't tease her either, directly tossing the item to her.

"It's yours, perform well later."

Song Jiaojiao's cold eyes instantly narrowed into a pair of happy crescents, and she nodded coquettishly and repeatedly: "Thank you, [ Captain Chu ]!"

Seeing her mischievous saluting appearance,

after getting more familiar with each other, this young lady was gradually opening up.

Chu Hong smiled faintly and looked at the last item.

[ Ding! ]

The golden light lit up, making him slightly disappointed.

However, when seeing what was rolled out, Chu Hong's pupils obviously shrank in an instant.

[ Item Name ]: [ forbidden object ] No. 832 Residue

[ Item Grade ]: Gold

[ Type ]: Source Energy Substance

[ Weight ]: 0.3 kg

[ Inventory Grid Capacity Occupied ]: 1 × 1

[ Item Description ]: Unknown substance, possessing extremely violent source energy factors, definitely not a product within the mystic realm.

Chu Hong pinched this bullet-shaped crystal injection tube. At this moment, there were only a few faint drops of crimson viscous matter inside. On the surface of the crystal-material bullet head, there were also engraved numbers 832.

Chu Hong's face was full of solemnity.

[ forbidden object ] No. 832... Could it be that there are other [ forbidden object ]s, and the quantity is not small?

Thinking that this tiny bullet head, after being shot into the body of the ordinary-level mystic realm's [ Lizardman Leader Molov ], directly turned him into a [ Berserk Molov ] that definitely reached the level of a confidential-level mystic realm boss,

Chu Hong couldn't help but urgently draw a breath of cold air in his heart.

Putting the things away,

the three of them spent the last dozen or so minutes scavenging the cleared mystic realm as much as possible.

They took the remaining equipment and weapons of the [ Black Bug Team ].

[ 10, 9, 8... ]

When the ten-second countdown ended,

a flash of white light before their eyes, Chu Hong and the other two returned to the mystic realm camp.

"People came out!!!"

An excited and thrilling roar startled the three who had just come out of the mystic realm.

And a figure had fiercely run up to the three of them.

"Miss, are you alright?"

It was Uncle Fu!

However, at this moment, this elegant butler who was always dressed impeccably in Chu Hong's impression completely lost his image, and his gray hair seemed to have been violently ravaged.

Seeing Chu Hong and the others come out, he rushed up at the first instance.

Song Jiaojiao was stunned: "Uncle Fu, what happened to you? What's wrong?"

"Miss, didn't you encounter any strange things in the mystic realm?"

The pupils of Chu Hong and the other two instantly shrank.

Turning back,

then their expressions all changed abruptly.

I saw that the mystic realm entrance, which had always been white, had turned into a crimson full of ominousness and weirdness at some unknown time.

Resembling a bloody mouth ready to devour people.

Making one's blood run cold.

Around them, the person in charge of the mystic realm camp trading post, who knew Chu Hong and the others before, also walked up quickly with a pale face, as if the sky had collapsed.

"Mr. Chu, something big has happened! The energy of the mystic realm is rising rapidly, and even the entrance suddenly became like this. Someone is deliberately manufacturing a mystic realm accident!"

"It must be those lunatics from the [ Black Hole Council ]! They have a way to enter the mystic realm from elsewhere."

"Mr. Chu, did you encounter anyone attacking you in the mystic realm just now?"

Chu Hong and the others were instantly surrounded in the middle by a group of anxious [ Pioneers ].

"Is the energy index of the mystic realm still rising now?" Chu Hong's expression changed drastically instead, grabbing the person in charge by the arm and asking anxiously.

The person in charge nodded repeatedly with an extremely pale face.

He took out an instrument that looked like measuring nuclear radiation before the cataclysm.

The beeping sound continued as he brought one sensor end of the instrument close to the aperture of the mystic realm entrance.

The numbers on the display screen began to climb rapidly.

[ 338 ] [ 462 ] [ 527 ] [ ... ]

Looking at the numbers that had climbed to around 860 in the blink of an eye and were still gradually rising over time, everyone gathered in front of the mystic realm entrance had pale faces full of panic.

"Quick, it's almost a thousand! Once the energy value breaks a thousand, the barrier will start to shatter!"

A thousand...

Chu Hong looked coldly at the crimson mystic realm entrance.

The mystic realm was still white when they went in, and became red halfway when they came out. Calculating the time...

This is a revenge!

It is even more of a deterrent and warning!

Chu Hong seemed to have already seen that riots of the [ Black Hole Council ] like the previous [ Black Bug Team ] were wantonly using that kind of [ forbidden object ] inside the mystic realm to make monsters berserk.

"Not searching containers, not killing monsters... Only killing people!"
