Everyone looked and saw a group of people walking into the warehouse and heading straight towards them.
The man in the lead was wearing ink-colored armor. The style of the armor was similar to Fengyun's, but the shape was simpler. It could be seen that the armor was mainly flexible, and it was obvious that the wearer was very confident in his skills.
When he saw the man's face clearly, Tianyang realized that the second-in-command of the Yun family had arrived.
"Second uncle."
Yunze and Yunyang called out in unison, both bowing their heads slightly to show respect.
The others bowed slightly to the middle-aged man who sat firmly in the second seat of the Yun family, and Tianyang was no exception.
Yun Yuan came up to the crowd and said with a faint smile: "What Tianyang saw was the projection of the giant tree of resentment. Our main force encountered it deep in the first floor of the base."
"That thing is similar to a tree spirit, but older and more cunning. It has a pattern on its body that looks like an old man's face, and it can dominate fungal communities and spread fungal spores."
"It created the fungus man. Besides that, it can split itself. The split parts will move around in the form of women. We call these split bodies wood women."
"The faces of the wood girls have no facial features, but they can observe their surroundings in an unknown way. The wood girls can also control the fungus colonies and fungus people, and have the ability to influence the spiritual level."
"We had already wiped out most of the wood maidens, but the giant tree escaped. From the traces it left behind, it is now hiding in the lower base. I didn't expect that there were still wood maidens left in this base. When I received the news, I rushed here immediately, but I didn't expect that you had already taken care of them."
Only then did Tianyang realize what he had encountered.
Yunze said with a smile on his face: "Second Uncle, the so-called Mu Nu was eliminated by Tianyang. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid my brother and I would be in trouble now."
If they were in danger, the Qingming Guards responsible for protecting them would appear. But in that case, even if they could escape, they would lose other team members and it would be difficult to achieve good results in this competition.
Yun Yuan nodded approvingly, and put his big hand on Tian Yang's shoulder, pressing it gently: "Not bad, it's commendable that you can get rid of Mu Nu by yourself."
"Now even I am a little tempted, if it weren't for my friendship with your Commander Chu. Otherwise, after the competition is over, I will go to Night Walker to poach people."
Tian Yang said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Second Master. I was just lucky. At that time, Mu Nu was communicating with the projection of the Resentful Tree and was busy controlling the fungus in the warehouse, so I was able to take advantage of the opportunity."
"If we confront it head-on, I may not be able to get rid of it."
Yun Yuan withdrew his palm and put his hands behind his back: "No matter what, it was you who got rid of Mu Nu. My two nephews owe you a favor. Especially Yun Yang, you must thank him well afterwards, and don't let people say that our Yun family doesn't know etiquette."
Yun Yang sat in a wheelchair and promised with a smile on his face: "Of course, Uncle, don't worry. After I go back, I will definitely prepare a big gift for Tian Yang."
Yun Yuan laughed and said, "I'll be leaving first. If the old guys from the other families knew that I'm not at the base, who knows what they might do. You guys should pack up and go back to the camp to rest."
After looking at Tianyang again, Yun Yuan turned around and walked out of the warehouse with his guards.
After leaving the warehouse, Yun Yuan muttered to himself, "This is the little fellow that Que'er mentioned. He is really good. He killed the plague demon first and then got rid of the wood girl. When I was his age, he was not so capable."
"If it's him, maybe he can really help Que'er..."
After Yun Yuan left, Yun Ze and Yun Yang also said goodbye and left. The two teams parted ways and returned to their respective camps to rest.
When they returned to the camp, Kunlan and Poqiong also came back. After handing in their exploration records, they went back to the tent to rest.
Tianyang returned to his tent, ate something, and took out the base diary again.
Turn to the place where you didn't finish last time and continue reading.
"On July 3, I searched Professor Fan's room thoroughly, even prying up the floor to look for it, but I found nothing. I really don't know what those monsters want."
'On July 6, the situation was getting worse and worse. It looked like we couldn't hold out much longer. Professor Fan was right. That tomb should never have been opened. Now, it was hastening our demise!'
'On July 7, I decided to record this incident. In order to prevent anyone from opening the tomb in the future, my comrades and I made a compass. We named it the Compass of Disaster. Isn't it a very appropriate name? We drew a map to Base 2 on the compass. We must send someone to break through and inform the comrades at Base 2 not to open the devil's tomb. But, can we succeed? '
'On July 15, the breakout troops set out. All we can do now is pray for them. However, I doubt whether there are any gods who listen to our prayers.'
'July 16th, damn, the breakout team came back, they couldn't get through the transport platform. We failed, and the Disaster Compass is back in our hands. I wonder if it would be better to destroy it? But other comrades don't agree with me. Maybe some of them still have hope for that tomb. '
'On August 1, perhaps a god really heard our prayers. We found something in Professor Fan's body. It was very beautiful, dreamlike, like a star that should have been embedded in the night sky. It was purple, and we called it Zichen. Zichen has some kind of radioactive energy that we cannot understand. When exposed to this energy, we feel that our bodies become full of vitality and strength. It is hard to imagine that Professor Fan actually swallowed Zichen. Did he want to become an immortal?'
At this point, Tian Yang frowned. Immortal? What is an immortal? Is it the name of some kind of super life
continue
'On August 5, we conducted a set of experiments. A group of volunteers stayed with Zi Chen. After five days, they showed obvious changes. They became stronger, more agile, and more responsive. One of them was able to control some kind of energy. The strange energy was like purple smoke. It looked fragile, but it had great destructive power. Just now, the comrade who could control the energy killed some monsters outside the base. This is the best news we have heard recently.'
'On August 7, I believe Zichen should be what Professor Fan brought out from the demon's tomb. But I can't
I understand, since Zichen has the power to strengthen humans, why didn't Professor Fan take it out or explain it, but kept it for himself. Yes, in the true sense of the word.'
'On August 8, we held a meeting today and voted to use Zichen to strengthen our bodies in batches and groups. If nothing unexpected happens, super humans will be born in this base, as long as we prove that this kind of strengthening is harmless. Then, after killing all the demons outside, we can use Zichen to change the world. Even if we can't change the environment, at least people in the future can rely on Zichen's power to survive.'
'On August 15, the reinforcement went very smoothly. I spent 5 days in the room where the purple star was placed. I clearly felt that I had become stronger, and more and more comrades were able to control the purple mist energy. We can now efficiently clear the monsters outside the base, and everything is developing in a good direction. In order to speed up the progress, starting tomorrow, the remaining base personnel will be divided into three batches to complete the reinforcement.'
'August 29th, some strange things happened in the past few days. The skin of the first batch of enhanced comrades turned purple-red. Moreover, they behaved very violently in many cases. To be honest, I am a little uneasy. Should I stop the enhancement plan?'
'August 30th, so scary! Yesterday, a comrade with a disease had a serious mutation. Oh my god, his lower body has changed into the appearance of a beast, and his upper body has become stronger and bigger. He has become a new species, I am sure that he can no longer be called a human. Is it because of Zichen? Could it be that Professor Fan knew that Zichen would cause people to mutate, so he would rather keep it to himself and not mention it? If that's the case, then we are the biggest idiots in the world! '
'On September 6, the situation became serious. More comrades were mutating. The only good news was that they seemed to retain some consciousness after the mutation. This might be the curse of the demon's tomb. We have all come into contact with Zi Chen. Now we have no choice but to seal off the base and let Zi Chen, Luo Pan and ourselves who are about to mutate die of old age in the depths of this base.'
'On September 12, what I was worried about happened. As expected, not all comrades were willing to sacrifice. They actually opened the gate and let the monsters in. Now I can hear the screams of people being slaughtered outside, but I and some other comrades decided to go to the base at the bottom. Even if we become monsters, we must protect Zichen and the compass and not let these two things leak out. Even if it is the end of the world outside, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for human survival, we cannot let these things appear on the surface. I am Luo Kai, the stationmaster of Beidou Base. This is the last record. I hope no one will see these words.
If you see it, please don't disturb us, and don't try to take Zichen away. It is the devil's treasure, and mortals cannot touch it. Otherwise, we are your future! '
Snapped.
The base diary fell to the ground.
Tianyang was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling. He vaguely guessed what these base personnel who had been strengthened and eventually mutated by Zi Chen had finally become.
The purple-red skin and the ability to manipulate energy like purple clouds and smoke are obvious enough.
These base personnel later became the Abyss Followers and Abyss Knights!
