My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster

In the early morning, Xia Zuo sent Anruer to the Energy Research Institute. As soon as he arrived at the laboratory of Bo Xing Building, he received a document and a secret message.

The document relates to a change of work location.

From today on, he will become a researcher seconded to the Lumington Marine Laboratory, receive his salary from the Poseidon Emergency Response Department as usual, and will also receive a stipend from the Lumington Emergency Response Department.

Against the backdrop of restrictions on researchers from other states traveling to Tambus State, it was not easy for Hillenberg to secure such a stipend-enabled spot.

For Xia Zuo, the meaning is even more extraordinary. In the future, he can use the name of underwater work to further train his body until he can no longer obtain attribute value improvement from it.

This kind of good thing is not only free prostitution, but also comes with subsidies. Come more, come more~

When Xia Zuo was cleaning up his alchemy room with a smile, there was movement in Hillenberg's secret message ring.

This secret message came from a place east of Poseidon, hundreds of kilometers away, which means that the sender sent the message at least two hours ago, probably around 6 a.m. federal time.

School meetings are time-consuming.

But the spell that changes the flow of time specializes in all tedious matters.

Hillenburg sent a secret message to some members of the marine life research team this morning.

The secret message mentioned that the results of the talks between the Tower Scholars, the Demon Hunting School, the Alchemy School and the Shaman Society last night had been concluded. Xia Zuo went directly to the second underground floor of the Sea Castle to gather before going to work today.

Hillenberg didn't say what he would do after the gathering, but Xia Zuo could guess intuitively that he would definitely have to work overtime today.

…

About three kilometers east of the city of Lumington.

The sea castle floats steadily on the sea with a majestic posture. The bright sunlight reflects on the wet walls. The castle is like a shining sea monster, which makes people feel awe.

But if you use the vast ocean as a picture and overlook the castle from a high altitude, you will feel that the Mediterranean Sea, which was born in nature, is even more majestic. The man-made sea castle is extremely small compared to natural creations.

When Xia Zuo flew to the sea, he deliberately slowed down to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

With emotion in his heart, he landed on the platform of the turret and followed the path he took yesterday to the second underground floor.

The overall layout of the Sea Castle is somewhat similar to the emergency response department buildings in various cities.

Vehicles are parked on the first underground floor.

The third underground floor is a laboratory with a relatively high level of confidentiality and some dangerous experimental samples. Hillenberg's ocean observation room is just one of them.

The 2 underground floors are the offices of the heads of each research group.

Xia Zuo walked into the team leader's office and waited for a short while before everyone arrived.

Apart from him and Hillenberg, the other two were the bald Rexor and the cold-faced man Seritus.

"Long time no see, Master Seritus." Xia Zuo bowed to greet the cold-faced man who had been away for dozens of days.

"Hmm..." Cerites glanced at the other party and nodded in response, still looking cold.

Hillenberg walked up to Xia Zuo and said:

"Today's operation is led by two master demon hunters, with the two of us assisting them as auxiliary personnel."

"Okay, team leader."

Hillenburg then asked, "How do you think about the knowledge about planes?"

"I've written it all down." Xia Zuo pointed to his head, took out the book from his alchemy pocket and returned it.

Plane science is a basic subject that is easy to get started but difficult to master.

The plane science books shared by Hillenburg mainly introduce the basic knowledge of this subject, and do not cover the difficult contents such as plane structure, formation reasons, and plane evolution.

So Xia Zuo only spent one night to collect the plane knowledge into the [Knowledge Reserve].

"Very good." Hillenburg smiled with satisfaction and affirmed Xia Zuo's memory. "We may have to go to the Thunder Sea plane. Very few members can make it within the first two or three days after joining. Having the opportunity to go there is a very rare experience.”

Is today's mission going to cross planes? ...Xia Zuo blinked, looking forward to seeing the lightning and thunder in the Thunder Sea plane with his own eyes.

Hillenburg nodded to Rexall and handed over the team's right to speak.

"Let's talk as we walk." Rexor led the team to the first underground floor. "At last night's meeting, the director of the Shaman Society's resident outer hall revealed something. Their Neoxat Elder, in fact, he is not completely dead..."

Rexor sighed helplessly, "Hey, the real situation is simply a mess."

Seritus snorted disdainfully, "Humph...people have selfish motives. Don't look at those guys who put nonsense like 'Death is not a part of balance, and to embrace balance means to accept death' all day long." Literally, when your life span is about to end and you are about to die, you will think about hanging on and find ways to extend your life, even if you don't hesitate to break your own bottom line."

Rexor shook his head and said:

"It would be great if he really degenerates completely. Just find him directly and eliminate him completely. The most troublesome thing is the current situation..."

Rexall stepped into the corridor, waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier to prevent the content of the conversation from leaking out, and continued to say to Xia Zuo and Hillenberg beside him:

"Fifteen years ago, Nyoksat knew that his lifespan was coming through spiritual magic.

"As an old guy who has lived from the last era to the present, he knows that he will always face this day. He usually tells people that he has taken death lightly and will accept it calmly.

“When death really came to greet him, his inner restlessness and restlessness quickly became apparent.

“According to the chairman of the Shaman Society, Neoxat’s father gave Neoxat a spiritual prop called [Difantana’s Shrine] before his death.

“This prop allows the user to use part of his own body as material to create a magical clone with a spiritual body.

"The clone has its own lifespan, can survive without the subject, and carries the subject's consciousness. After the subject's body decays, the clone will become the second body of the subject.

"Doing this is like having two lives."

When Hillenburg heard this, he asked at the right time:

"Then Nyoksat's father, why doesn't he use this tool to indirectly extend his lifespan?"

Rexall groped his forehead, with a faint heavy look on his face, "He used it, Hillenburg. The information about Neoksat's father was blocked by the temple because he was not a righteous person. If you are lucky enough to read the history of the Fourth Age, you will know about the hatred he had with some of the master alchemists.”

"The era of these things is too long ago, let's not talk about it for now." Rexor shook his hand and said:

“The magic clone that Neoxat used to create fell into the hands of the Strange Demon Church.

"The worst thing is that before this, Neoxat's main body has died, and his consciousness is completely carried by the magic clone, which is equivalent to surrendering to the Church of Strange Demons.

"As for why the magic clone is controlled by the strange demon church... I won't tell you. It's a complete mess."

"It's more than just chaos, hum." Seritus on the side said mockingly:

“The whole thing is a classic scene from the aristocratic ethics drama.

"This guy Neoxat didn't tell his son that he owned [Devatana's shrine], but his son had an affair with his mistress and found out about it from the other party.

"Then, haha, you should have guessed that the son and his father's mistress teamed up to trick his father to death, but he failed to get Difantana's shrine, and he even ended up being imprisoned by the Shaman Society. .

"And Neoxat was pushed into the abyss of corruption by his own son, and was forced to become a prisoner of the church."

Seretes looked at Xia Zuo and Hillenberg who were speechless and complained:

"If you ask me, people still can't be too comfortable, and they can't eat too much.

"After the shaman learned to take refuge in the temple, his life was too comfortable. He had enough to eat and nothing to do all day long. We were dealing with strange demons outside, but they were huddled happily in the back.

"It's better for you, the Alchemy School, to stay in the base camp. You can do experiments to help. The Shaman Society only knows about enjoyment. They are really a bunch of trash."

Xia Zuo almost laughed out loud when he heard the other party's words. Judging from Seritus's character, for him to be able to complain about the Shaman Society like this must be because he had accumulated resentment in his heart for a long time. This time it happened. This is a cathartic confession for him to vent his depressed feelings. How could he not express it quickly?

Rexall, who has always been cautious in his words and actions, did not stop his companions. It seems that he has also been unhappy with the actions of the Shaman Society for a long time.

Hillenberg glanced at Xia Zuo, who had a strange expression and was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and asked:

"Then what exactly left the strange eggs around the stronghold? Why is the stronghold attacked every time the strange eggs appear?"

"Ha!" Cerites said with a weird laugh, "Who else could it be? Of course it's that old guy Nyoksat..."

"Ahem..." Rexor coughed a few times, interrupting his companion's words.

"Well, we won't tell you the specific situation until we enter the diving room. It's just our speculation." Cerites grimaced and returned to his indifferent look, "In short, if our journey today goes well, we will This mess can be solved.”

Rexor stretched out his hand and pressed it against the glass wall of a diving room, poured energy into it, opened the magic circle in the wall, and gained control of the diving room.

The four of them entered the diving room. Xia Zuo and Hillenberg put on alchemy diving suits, while Rexall activated his elemental bodies.

The shapes of the two master demon hunters look somewhat similar. They both use black dragon scales of some kind of dragon as the armor pieces of the elemental body, and soft and tough dragon skin and dragon tendon sutures are used at the joints. connection.

The helmet is very much in the style of the Fourth Age. It is made of hard enchanted metal wrapped in dragon skin, covering the entire head and neck, leaving only the observation holes in a straight line for the eyes, and the breathing holes for the cheeks and mouth.

They distinguished themselves by the armbands on their arms.

Rexor's armband is purple, while Seritus's is red. The armbands are made of a special material, emitting bright light in the dark sea water, and also have the function of lighting.

The four-person diving room has an underwater camouflage function. As Rexor presses a few buttons on the console, invisible magic energy swims within the glass wall, covering the diving room with a light gray shell. , blends perfectly with the aphotic zone environment.

Avoiding the working experimenters, Xia Zuo's diving room dived deep into the aphotic zone. The surroundings were silent, and only the clicking sound of the pressure gauge reminded the four of them of the depth at this time.

"Xia Zuo, come here, hold this, and then activate the poison induction." Rexor called the other party to come to him, pointing to the metal grip in front of him and said, "This is an alchemy prop that can greatly enhance the detection range. , you can use it to increase your detection range to 2 kilometers."

Xia Zuo held the handle, green light blooming in his eyes. Sure enough, as the bald man said, the field of vision increased several times in an instant. Although it was still dim, he could barely see within 2 kilometers in a light-free environment. All places, except those covered by obstacles or located in caves, have a panoramic view of the rest of the scene.

"Hillenberg, your mission is to control the diving room, guide Xia Zuo, and use orbs to assist him in detecting traces of toxins."

Rexall gave up the position of the console to make room for the future master of ocean alchemy. "You are familiar with the area, so you will be responsible for this work. Be sure to connect the planes around the point where the planes are connected." Search every location within 20 kilometers. Seritus and I are responsible for detecting possible plane rifts."

"Master, can you describe the characteristics of the search target?" Hillenberg pushed up his glasses.

"Please keep it confidential." Rexall raised a finger, his eyes moved back and forth between Xia Zuo and Hillenberg, and said:

"What we are looking for may be an adult deep-sea turtle.

"It is about the size of an adult, is bright red under a searchlight, and may have toxins on its lower jaw and tail.

"What needs special attention is that it has a pair of tree-shaped root thighs on its abdomen."

"Tree monster?" Xia Zuo was stunned.

Hillenberg couldn't help but push up the frame of his glasses again and asked with concentration:

"Why does the deep-sea turtle have thighs with roots? Is this a new species that has mutated, or...oh! I get it!"

Hillenburg clapped his hands and whispered with surprise:

"Isn't this Neoxat?"

? ? ? …Why do you think so? ...Xia Zuo was confused as he listened.

"To be precise, this deep sea turtle is a clone made by Neoxat using Devantana's shrine." Rexall explained:

"That guy Nyoksat placed the shrine on the first clone in advance, which was the one that was initially intended to be used to extend its lifespan.

“This clone fell into the hands of the Strange Demon Church.

"When Nyoxat descended into this avatar, he still knew that he was a member of the temple, and he must not let the strange demon church get the shrine.

"So, he made a second clone and let it escape from the territory of the Strange Demon Church with the shrine.

"Unfortunately, he could not find an unblasphemous creature on the territory of the Church of Strange Demons. His second clone used a deep-sea turtle transformed by a flesh-and-blood alchemist as a carrier."

After hearing these words, Hillenburg scratched his hair a few times, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was lost in thought. He muttered, "I understand... I understand... So that's it... No wonder the corpse lacks lungs." The abdomen, intestines and gallbladder... No wonder the tentacles of Neoxat appear..."

Xia Zuo glanced at the team leader who was lost in thought. The doubts in his heart were still unresolved. He always felt that he was missing some vital information that everyone knew. He asked the bald head:

"Master, I probably know what happened, but... what does this have to do with the tree monster?"

Rexor looked at Seritus through the observation hole of the mask.

Seritus nodded towards him, spread his hands and made a shrug, "There is nothing to hide about the bad things of the Shaman Society. When our mission is completed, the outer temple may issue a notice to all important members. , by then almost everyone will know what some scum in the Shaman Society have done.”

"Huh~ Let me tell you, Xia Zuo." Rexor exhaled, his tone a little low, "Some members of the Shaman Society - mainly fundamentalists, retain relatively primitive ritual methods. In order to pursue a longer lifespan, they will combine themselves with long-lived trees and become a kind of human being similar to a tree monster."

"Does the temple not care about this?!" Xia Zuo held his head and widened his eyes. He felt that what the other party said was quite unbelievable. The prohibition of inhuman transformation was written into the law. Anyone who dared to cross this red line would be All will be severely punished by the temple.

"We will definitely stop them, Xia Zuo."

Rexor patted the other man's arm in reassurance.

“But some of them played an indelible role in building the temple.

"So the Temple allows them to use atonement in place of punishment. The Temple will send people to collect their tentacles every year, suppressing their strength while creating a stable source of spiritual materials for the Totem School and the Alchemy School.

"Neoxat was a member of the Fundamentalist Church before. He has a tree-shaped body and walks on legs like roots."

Xia Zuo rubbed his brows and nodded silently, indicating that he understood. Then another question popped up, "Then...Master, why did the deep-sea turtle discovered by Team Leader Hillenberg many years ago lose its lungs, What about the intestines and gallbladder?”

Hillenburg came back to his senses. A complete logical chain had been formed in his mind, and he spoke quickly:

"Because Neoxat's second clone is not stable, it needs these things to repair the damage to the clone. This is related to the fundamentalist's life extension ceremony, specifically..."

"No, stop talking." Rexall held the other party's shoulders and shook his head firmly, "That's it for now, Hillenburg, let these primitive and backward rituals disappear over time."

Hillenberg realized that he had made a mistake and might even have violated the law, so he immediately pressed his lips together, clenched his fists, restrained the urge to speak, nodded regretfully towards Xia Zuo and said:

"Master Rexor is right. These old things are not worth promoting. They, like flesh and blood alchemy, should stay in the garbage dump that no one cares about. Elemental alchemy is the right path."
