Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

late at night.

The spiritual energy barrier outside the command center shone with a white light, blocking the wind and rain.

On the plain that has become a barren land, this light is particularly eye-catching in the dark rain.

The left-behind special forces are resting in the open space outside.

From time to time, teams are dispatched to leave the barrier to receive the various supplies and support personnel that have just been delivered.

Since the return of Yan Jing and others, the environmental degradation of the Kasai River Basin has become more and more serious.

Needless to say, the situation in the Kunlun Mountains, soon even the area where the command center was located was affected.

Fortunately, the Special Affairs Bureau has long been prepared for such a bad situation.

Relying on various defensive facilities built in advance.

Today's command center seems to have become a key official stronghold outside the Kunlun Mountains.

"Weather red warning, large-scale acid rain in the Kasai River Basin due to special reasons, please pay attention to safety when traveling."

"Due to the influence of abnormal celestial phenomena, traffic at all levels around the Kunlun Mountains and the Kasai River Basin has been closed."

"The current situation has been initially brought under control. Citizens please rest assured, we will notify you as soon as the situation is resolved"

Yan Jing stood outside the house, watching the messages on the phone screen being pushed one after another.

Hu Ying, who was presumably one of the last surviving hares in her mouth, was lying on her stomach beside him, enjoying her dinner.

Open the network platform casually, and the hot searches have already been filled with relevant information about the Kasai River Basin.

Things have deteriorated much faster than expected.

In order to avoid causing large-scale panic, the official did not pass on the real situation in the Kunlun Mountains, but took the initiative to say that the situation is not out of control and the disaster will be resolved soon.

Although this was just an expedient measure to appease the people, it also put a lot of pressure on the command center invisibly.

If the problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, it may cause more troubles by then.

At this time, a meeting was going on in the command center. Yu Zhen and Duojige, as the current top officials of the Special Affairs Bureau in the Tibetan area, needed to report the current situation and what happened in the Kunlun Mountains to the headquarters.

The headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau and high-level government officials need to use this to make arrangements for the next stage.

Originally, the host here should be Yan Jing, but he has never been good at this kind of thing, so he simply declined.

Besides, strictly speaking, he is only a consultant at the moment, so he doesn't need to participate in this kind of thing.

Footsteps came from beside him, Yan Jing turned his head to look, and saw Miao Yingshi coming out of the temporary prison building on the side.

Inside the premises was the only intruder who was captured alive.

The code name is the bird with a human face, which is John.

From the moment he was escorted back to the command center, the Special Affairs Bureau immediately prepared to interrogate him.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

As a consumable item, the prison shackle cannot exist for a long time. At the same time it disappeared, John's original human form suddenly changed again, and a large number of abnormal limbs began to appear on the body surface.

The mental state of the whole person deteriorated rapidly.

The few people who were in charge of the interrogation had to rescue him first. In order to save John's life, they even consumed several healing items, but even so, they could barely maintain the semi-mutated state. …

John, who was on the verge of losing his mind, didn't even know who he was, let alone answering the questions from the Special Affairs Bureau.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic."

Noticing the expression on Miao Yingshi's face, Yan Jing couldn't help frowning, and then threw a can of juice to him again.

The pure spirit gloves and the juice made by the spirit fruit have a good effect on healing injuries.

"It's not completely fruitless. By examining his body, I found that John is not an inheritor, but more like a foreign species that was parasitized and catalyzed by the blood of a strange beast."

Walking to Yan Jing's side and standing still, Miao Yingshi looked at the people outside, obviously not used to this atmosphere, and tried his best to adjust.

Not long ago, he deduced from the battle with the intruders that they were all inheritors of the legacy of mountains and seas, but after close contact and observation now, he overturned his theory.

Hearing these words, Yan Jing who was still looking at the night sky outside the command center suddenly turned his head and asked,

"you sure?"

"Sure! At first they did have the aura of mountains and seas, but John's alienation showed the other side."

Yingzhao's ability made Miao Yingshi particularly sensitive to life energy, so he noticed the difference between John's two mutations,
"Normally speaking, the inheritor can freely use the ability brought by the mountains and seas, but John can't control this power at all. Once he falls into a weak state or... like a drug addict, if within a certain period of time If you don't use something that suppresses your blood, you will immediately go into a state of rampage!"

"You mean that group of intruders have the means to make people have the power of mountains and seas and control them?"

After listening to Miao Yingshi's description, Yan Jing immediately caught the key point and quickly realized that if this guess is correct, the organization they are facing may be far more dangerous than imagined.

The inheritors who create the legacy of mountains and seas in batches.
Even if they are semi-finished products, they have extremely strong side effects, and their strength is far beyond that of the ordinary remaining apostles.

almost the same time.

In Yan Jing's mind, the half of Xiang Liu Yuanyuan's blood essence that he had won in the celestial burial altar appeared not long ago!

' No wonder they spent so much trouble just to get Xiang Liu's original essence and blood. '

During the interval of thinking, he raised his hand and took out the special vessel purchased from the Torch Market from his waist. Through the light yellow bottle wall, Yan Jing could see the blood essence of Xiangliu Yuanyuan, which was in a boiling state and was trying to escape all the time.

"What should we do now? The Kunlun Mountains have been covered by the poisonous miasma created by Xiangliu, isolating the inside and outside. Drones and satellite positioning have all failed. Finding them by manpower alone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

As the first person to receive the task, Miao Yingshi was particularly concerned about this incident.

With Yingzhao Yuze's awakening progress involved, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"You haven't failed your mission yet, have you?"

Yan Jing asked suddenly.

"It's still in progress."

"My mission has not failed, which means that in the judgment of the torch, we still have a way to complete the mission, but we haven't found it yet. I have asked Yu Zhen to search for all possible connections with Xuanpu. People from the Black Bamboo Society should be here soon, and they may be able to provide us with new clues.” …

John's mutation was unexpected, but it doesn't mean that Yan Jing has nothing to do now.

In order to solve this incident, the Bureau of Special Affairs opened the internal confidential database to Yu Zhen, except those top-secret existences, and allowed him to consult classics, ancient stone tablets and various artifacts.

After learning what happened in the Kunlun Mountains, Mo Zhushe also sped up the speed of action. The plane that was supposed to arrive tomorrow was directly changed to a special military plane from the Special Affairs Bureau and arrived overnight.

This is the benefit of being backed by the country.

Had Yan Jing and Miao Yingshi come alone, they would still be wandering around the Kunlun Mountains until now.

While the two were talking.

A military plane flashing red and blue lights pierced the night sky.

The people from Black Bamboo Club have arrived!
The military plane directly landed on the grass field outside the command center, the hatch opened, Yue Qianren walked out of the cabin first, raised his hand and clenched his fist lightly, and the wind and rain all over his body were shaken away.

Behind him were Yu Ke and others, all of whom were familiar faces from the Undead Island incident, and they were also the backbone of the Black Bamboo Club.

Yan Jing took Miao Yingshi out to meet him.

Both sides are not people who like to be polite, and the situation is urgent, so after a few simple greetings, they will get straight to the point.

"I learned on the way here that you have caught an intruder, can you take me to meet him?"

Yue Qianren nodded to Miao Yingshi, then looked at Yan Jing, and asked eagerly.

"No problem, but with his current situation, I'm afraid he can no longer provide information."

Informing Yue Qianren of John's current state, Yan Jing shrugged.

"There is no need for him to speak, all we have to do is confirm his identity!"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Do you still remember what I mentioned on the phone in the afternoon? About a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Black Bamboo Society encountered similar enemies. There are still records left at that time, involving a very mysterious organization. "

Looking around, seeing no outsiders around, Yue Qianren stepped forward and continued,

"Members of this group share similar properties that can be detected with specific methods."

Speaking of this, Yan Jing naturally would not refuse, and immediately took Yue Qianren and others to John's cell.

bang bang~
The iron gate of the house was opened.

The two members of the Special Affairs Bureau guarding here hurriedly got up, and subconsciously stood at attention and saluted after seeing Yan Jing.

"Go and rest first, I will take care of this side from now on."

Yan Jing nodded to the two of them, moved aside and said.

Although Yan Jing was not an official of the Special Affairs Bureau, the two members of the Special Affairs Bureau did not hesitate to follow the instructions of Raja the Sword Immortal, and turned to leave the house.

A group of people entered the room one after another, and walked to a cell made of vines.

The lights turned on, and the monster inside appeared in front of everyone.

Because John's body mutation erupted so abruptly, even if the Special Affairs Bureau forcibly rescued him by consuming many healing items, his body had undergone irreversible mutations, and he could barely maintain a part of his human form.

Both arms are completely covered with feathers, with a pair of crooked and crippled wings growing on the back, and the head is half human, half bird, full of fangs rubbing against each other, making a piercing "knock~" sound. …

"The Secret Service has tried various methods to get him to speak, but his sanity seems to have entered a state of collapse, and he can no longer communicate normally. If you come later, I should consider killing him directly and using some special There is a way to get information."

The special method that Yan Jing mentioned is actually the soul-calling and dissection.

The most indispensable thing in the Special Affairs Bureau is capable people and strange men, and warlocks who have studied the soul are even on their way.

"Let us try it next, Xiao Ling, it's up to you."

Yue Qianren looked at John, and suddenly turned to look at the girl behind who was carrying a mechanical suitcase with a brass-colored surface.

The latter immediately stepped forward and placed the mechanical suitcase in his hand on the ground.

Just at this time, Yan Jing's gaze accidentally passed over the lock of the suitcase, where a series of characters were engraved on the copper ring:
NO.21!

Yan Jing is very familiar with this style of characters. He has No. 78 Lucky Compass and No. 61 Analysis Cube in his hand, as well as the predecessor of the Scarlet Devil Armor, No. 166 Energy Armor.

According to the effects of these three items, it seems that the higher the ranking, the stronger the effect of the strange object, and this is the first time Yan Jing has seen a strange object ranked in the top thirty.

Obviously, items of this level were handed down by the ancestors of the Black Bamboo Society in all likelihood, just like the armillary sphere that is still buried deep in the caves on the seabed to suppress the cracks in different spaces.

After a short preparation, Xiao Ling directly opened the lock of the mechanical suitcase, and then the whole suitcase rapidly expanded and deformed like a Transformer, and finally transformed into two huge, steampunk-looking suitcases. robotic arm.

Standing at the end of the two robotic arms, Xiao Ling stretched out her two arms.

The former also followed suit, facing John in the vine cage.

"Take blood, cut bones!"

Xiao Ling spat out two words.

Under everyone's gaze, the two mechanical arms deformed again following her instructions, and several small robots with strange shapes split from the front end, and rushed straight to John who was struggling because he sensed the danger.

It's a pity that he is extremely weak and can't fight against these robots, and with the help of Miao Yingshi.

After just a few minutes, a ball of dark red blood plasma and a hand bone about half a finger long were forcibly taken out and passed back and forth among a group of small robots, and they were also instruments that changed into various styles at any time, as if to They are analyzed.

"What is this checking for?"

Yan Jing watched from the sidelines for a while, but couldn't hold back after all, stepped back half a step and asked.

"After receiving your message, I checked a lot of relevant information through the internal intelligence network of the Black Bamboo Society and the files accumulated in the past, and finally found a matching description in an ancient book that recorded the combat deeds of the seniors of the Black Bamboo Society. organization."

Now that the inspection ceremony had already begun, Yue Qianren didn't plan to show off, so he straightforwardly revealed all the information he had found.

"About a hundred years ago, that is, the era of 'Nanke', no, it should be said that it was the end of Nanke. At that time, because of an accident in 'Nanke', it gradually became impossible to travel between different worlds, and the tide of aura also returned over time. Calm, and this caused the strength of the Nanke apostles to begin to decline on a large scale."

Losing the ability to travel through different worlds meant that the apostles lost key ways to strengthen themselves and obtain various props.

The decline of the aura tide has made the extraordinary ability inevitably be greatly weakened.

The ancestors of the Black Bamboo Club thought this was a good thing. After all, the pacification of the aura tide meant that the barriers of the present world would be stabilized, and the frequency and intensity of supernatural events would be greatly reduced.

However, not everyone is willing to be ordinary.

At that time, there were a group of Nanke apostles frantically looking for ways to extend their own strength and even lifespan.

I just want to be able to wait for the second tide of aura!

Recalling what he saw in the dossier, Yue Qianren gritted his teeth subconsciously, and said in a deep voice,
"This group of people thinks they are the rulers of this world. With their extraordinary abilities, they should be in charge of everything in the world. Although the specific events of that year are no longer available, the name of this organization has been preserved."

"Its name is Tai Sui, and the members of the organization have their own specific titles. They are collectively called the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches!"
