29: Five-Colored Divine Stone Flower

That day, the Reconnaissance Department sent out message after message. Everyone was mobilized, fearing that something major was about to happen.

However, the culprit had only just woken up and was stretching lazily.

[Current slaughter value balance: 12,600.]

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Over twelve thousand slaughter value in just one night—quite impressive!"

Immediately after, Chen Fei extracted ten thousand slaughter value to use on himself and Little Gu.

His cultivation level broke through rapidly!

Thinking it over, increasing his strength too quickly was also a problem; it was too easy for others to notice.

In the future, what might await Chen Fei would likely be being sliced up for research.

From this perspective, the proficiency of the Hidden Origin Art had to be raised further.

At the very least, it needed to reach a level where a Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer could not detect his true strength.

"Chen Fei, there are only 12 days left until the two-month deadline you mentioned!" Little Gu poked Chen Fei's cheek to remind him.

"Of course I remember!"

How could Chen Fei forget the bet with Little Gu?

The two-month deadline coincided exactly with the bloody incident at the medical room.

In his past life, Chen Fei hadn't been on the scene; he only knew that in Medical Room No. 16, the entire Medical Team had been killed.

Not only that, but several squads from the reconnaissance team also met with disaster.

In total, members from seven or eight squads died in that single incident; it was truly horrific.

"Let's go to Medical Room No. 16 and take a look."

Having made up his mind, Chen Fei wanted to investigate first.

Just as he reached the door of the medical room, he happened to run into Xu Kui and Wang Zhi.

"Old Wang, is there really nothing happening in your reconnaissance zone?"

"Really nothing. Why would I lie to you?" Wang Zhi looked helpless; Xu Kui had already asked this question countless times.

Xu Kui scratched his head. "Then what on earth happened? In our reconnaissance zone, there was a large-scale death of Yao Beasts, which made me report it to the higher-ups in a frantic rush."

Chen Fei turned his head away to avoid letting them see his embarrassment.

If he guessed correctly, this was once again the work of the Lesser Myriad Poison Gu Kings.

However, their conversation also gave Chen Fei an important piece of information: large-scale Yao Beast deaths would attract the attention of the reconnaissance team.

If he were to slaughter all the Yao Beasts on the outskirts of the area corresponding to Medical Room No. 16, would he be able to prevent the bloody incident?

No sooner said than done!

Little Gu sent messages to its descendants, ordering them to move toward Medical Room No. 16.

They moved and slaughtered all along the way.

"Chen Fei, Minister Xie sent us to ask how things are going with the Myriad Poison Gu."

The purpose of Xu Kui and Wang Zhi's trip was precisely for the 120 Level 2 Myriad Poison Gu that Chen Fei had promised.

"Here, treat them well!"

When 120 Level 2, Rank 1 Lesser Myriad Poison Gu Kings appeared before Xu Kui and Wang Zhi,

both of their eyes widened. "Whoa! Chen Fei, you're already an Intermediate Beast Master?"

Their exclamations didn't attract the attention of Zhou Yan, Lin Qi, and the others, because they had already finished being surprised long ago.

Especially Yang Xin, who looked like he had seen a ghost.

At that moment, he also confirmed that talent was indeed greater than hard work.

Chen Fei waved his hand. "Keep it low-key, low-key!"

After a few words of conversation, he headed toward Medical Room No. 16... Medical Room No. 16!

When Chen Fei arrived, he discovered that there were only two medics in the entire medical room.

He walked toward one of them, a curly-haired young man. "Hello, where is your captain? Why are there only two of you?"

Ji Tairong answered lazily, "The captain went into the mountains. Are you here for a check-up or what?"

Went into the mountains?

Going into the mountains at this time couldn't help but give Chen Fei some specific ideas.

"No, I have business with your captain. Did he say when he'd be back?"

Ji Tairong shook his head. "He didn't. He only said he was going into the mountains to find beast pet evolution Materials."

Hearing this, Chen Fei felt that something wasn't quite right.

It was one thing for a medical squad captain to go into the mountains for evolution Materials, but why would he take his team members along?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei took out a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones and tucked them into Ji Tairong's hand. "What kind of evolution Materials are they looking for that they're being so secretive?"

Ji Tairong calmly pocketed them with a very discreet movement.

Then he whispered, "I heard that a five-colored divine stone flower appeared in the mountains. As you know, that thing is extremely precious. Quite a few medical squads and Reconnaissance Squads have gone to fight for it."

five-colored divine stone flower?

Chen Fei had no memory of this kind of spiritual flower, so he could only summon the sacred codex.

[five-colored divine stone flower]

[Aptitude: A-grade Spiritual Plant]

[Description: This flower only blooms on five-colored soil.]

[The five petals represent the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.]

[Uses: When combined with corresponding Materials, there is a chance for elemental Yao Beasts to evolve.]

[After evolution, the Yao Beast has a chance to awaken a new elemental affinity.]

[Besides this, there are also six-colored and seven-colored flowers. For every additional petal, the Aptitude increases by one grade, and the chance of Awakening a new element significantly increases.]

[Note: five-colored soil is also a rare spiritual soil; don't let it go to waste!]

After reading the information on the five-colored divine stone flower, even Chen Fei was quite tempted.

Elemental Yao Beasts were very common, but they were usually single-element or dual-element; it was rare to see elemental beasts with three or more elements.

If one could truly reach three elements because of the five-colored divine stone flower, that would be quite extraordinary.

Even if it wasn't S-grade Aptitude, it would be very close.

In that case, it was understandable why even the Medical Teams were getting involved.

"Since it's so precious, why didn't you go?"

Ji Tairong looked at Chen Fei with a speechless expression. "Whether this five-colored divine stone flower is real or fake is one thing. Why would I join the fray? Even if there are benefits, they wouldn't go to me."

"And look at me, a Rank 7 Intermediate Healer."

"Why would I go into the mountains? To seek death?"

Chen Fei took a few extra looks at this Ji Tairong; he was quite self-aware, at least he wouldn't let the five-colored divine stone flower go to his head.

"One last question: where did the news of the five-colored divine stone flower come from?"

Ji Tairong wasn't sure about this either. "I only know the news suddenly popped up. As for whose mouth it came from, that's unknown."

Before long, Chen Fei left, but he still felt something was off.

First, the five-colored divine stone flower was too rare and precious, and it required five-colored soil to grow.

But where would five-colored soil come from in the Baiyue Mountain Range?

Second, the timing was suspicious; it was too close to the time the bloody incident broke out.

Third, the news came too suddenly but was also very localized.

Only these few teams knew about it, while others were completely unaware.

There was a problem—a very big problem involved.

"Little Gu, pick a few speed-type Corpse Control Yao Beasts and head quickly to the area of Medical Room No. 16 to find traces of these squads."

"The moment there's any movement, share your vision with me immediately."

Since he sensed a problem, Chen Fei naturally wouldn't just ignore it.

However, this search lasted for several days...
