Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

After a period of research, Li Ang discovered that this thing was not the root of any plant at all, but some kind of fungus composed of countless smaller hyphae, but it looked a bit like a plant root.

This kind of hyphae shows a certain degree of thermotaxis, so it instinctively approaches the human body.

Li Ang tried adding a little water to the bottle, and the small piece of mycelium multiplied at an astonishing speed, covering the glass bottle with a thin layer within a few hours.

Such a growth rate aroused Li Ang's vigilance. Sure enough, he also found a small amount of this mycelium in the water pipes of the Nauman's villa. The entire University of William uses the same water supply system. There is no reason for the library to have an accident. survived.

However, it may be because the villa was empty most of the time that the hyphae did not grow in this direction.

The good news is that this kind of mycelium is not harmful to the human body, otherwise it would not be discovered until it grows to this extent. Like most living organisms, Li Ang just slightly heated the water in the water pipe to make these mycelium Lost activity.

It is enough to research to this point, Li Ang's curiosity has been satisfied, and how to deal with the aftermath is also something that the chamber and the tower should consider. The samples in the bottle are no longer useful to him.

When taking this thing out during the day, Adele reacted very violently. She picked up the staff next to her and hit Li Ang's head hard a few times. After Li Ang apologized for a long time, Adele said angrily. Find him a glass bottle.

It's better to get rid of this thing now.

Just as Li Ang was about to destroy the samples in the bottle, a strong light suddenly lit up in the world outside his range of perception.

Li Ang is extremely sensitive to the energy response of the origin stone, and he can intuitively 'see' this phenomenon under the influence of wave perception. The energy reaction of the origin stone just now was so violent, like the sun in the dark, even within the range of perception Besides, Li Ang couldn't ignore its existence.

"Just now... what was that?"

Could it be that someone couldn't figure it out and released a large-scale origin stone skill in the city?Wouldn't it be a dead end if caught by the tower?

After casually burning the fungus in the bottle, Li Ang thought for a while, then took out a device shaped like a hollowed out pyramid from the desk drawer.

It is called the Slane Oriented Structure in modern Originium technology. After miniaturization, it is used in various spell-casting units. The one Li Ang is holding is a prototype, the product of one of his after-school assignments.

This kind of device can guide the direction of spells. The disadvantage is that it requires extremely high control power. If the requirements are not met, the spells can only be shot in a certain direction, and there is no guiding effect at all.

Of course, there is no difficulty for Li Ang. With this device, he can greatly increase the range of perception in a single direction at the cost of losing perception in other directions.

This kind of thing can be done without the device Li Ang, but it is obviously far inferior to the effect after using the device.

As waves of perception poured into the device in his hand, the world around him returned to that frightening nothingness.

Li Ang could feel that his field of vision was rapidly moving into the distance, and the energy response in the distance not only did not disappear at this time, but gradually increased at a slow speed.

However, when Li Ang's perception expanded to the place where the energy reaction appeared, he was stunned.

To be honest, even if Li Ang found out that the bombed place was the chamber, he would not be as surprised as he is now.

But why...

"Why is it that place?"

Li Ang never thought that he would be related to this matter in such a wonderful way. Li Ang was very familiar with the place where the energy reaction occurred, and he had just brought back a volcanic rock sample from there not long ago.

But now in Li Ang's perception, the scene he saw before had turned into ruins. A warlock team fought with a huge humanoid creature. The continuous energy reaction was the aftermath of the battle between the two sides.

By the time Li Ang found this place, the battle had already come to an end.

The energy reactions of these ten warlocks were almost integrated into a whole. Although they all used some very basic spells, even the most basic spells could exert amazing power under the combined spellcasting of several warlocks.

And the enemy this small team of warlocks faced...Frankly speaking, in Li Ang's eyes, it was a humanoid beast without intelligence, with a huge body, but it could only use brute force to hit those warlocks to create a shield , it is impossible to change a wild boar to do worse than it.

How could such a stupid enemy be a match for an elite warlock team?

Only a few seconds later, several shackles made of energy locked the beast's limbs, and a nearly saturated energy bombardment blasted his body into two pieces.

These people didn't have the idea of ​​leaving a whole body at all, and the flames that followed immediately burned the upper half of the body on the ground to ashes.

The scene suddenly fell silent, only the slightly heavy breathing of the warlocks remained.

It was a while before one of the warlocks broke the silence.

"Damn it, what did this guy named Austin do to himself? How did he make himself into such a ghost? You send someone to check and see what's going on."

Wait... That humanoid just now was Austin?The ruined aristocrat Austin that Adele mentioned?

Li Ang subconsciously focused his perception on the half-remained corpse on the ground. The 'harmless' hyphae filled the corpse, replacing the original muscle tissue.

This kind of thing... can be called harmless?

The group of warlocks didn't notice Li Ang who was peeping from a distance at all, discussing things that should have been kept secret as if no one else was there.

"I heard that this guy is still an aristocrat from Victoria? Is he killed by us now?"

"So what about the Victorian nobles? This is Letania! Besides, he touched something that shouldn't be touched, and whoever comes here will die."

"If you want me to say, this guy made himself like this. Can anyone touch the Witch King's horn? Don't you look at yourself? Speaking of captain, this kind of thing should not be done by Will the knight handle it?"

"...There is not enough manpower, and the knights are dealing with underground troubles. But it is not certain, maybe someone will come to clean up the mess here at dawn."

Based on the content discussed by these warlocks and combined with the information he knew, Li Ang had roughly figured out what happened. After being baptized by various novels, his brain power in this area is absolutely top-notch.

The series of events that happened in Brandenburg recently are not isolated, and there are hidden connections between them, and Li Ang just happened to get involved at one of the most critical nodes.

These things... are really too coincidental.

It all started with something that was lost in the council hall. If those warlocks didn't brag, it should be the Witch King's horn.

As for Mr. Austin, he played a key role in this process. As a collector, he either helped sell the stolen goods, or he did it himself. Li Ang couldn't tell.

But Li Ang is very clear that those warlocks said that Austin made himself like this, they are completely farting, and there is one person missing.

The young man he saw at Austin's home at the time, the fungus that is now spreading all over the city should be the work of that guy.

Thinking about it now, all the strange actions of that young man have been explained. It may be because Li Ang is blind. The other party did not conflict with him in order to avoid extra problems. If the other party hadn't held back his actions at that time, these things would not have happened later up.

At this time, the warlock who went out to inspect the scene just now has returned, and he said, "Captain, after the on-site inspection, the pollution source is next door. It can be confirmed that it is the product of the catalysis of Originium technology, but the character of the Witch King has not been found here." , may have been used by the target."

"so be it."

Regarding this result, the captain of the warlock team just nodded lightly, as if he didn't care about the whereabouts of the broken horn of the Witch King at all, "The target has been killed, the task is completed, and the logistics personnel are notified to come and clean up the scene and close the team."

Is this the end of the mission?Forget about the fungus problem?Or did they not discover the existence of that young man at all?

Li Ang knew that the right to choose was now in his hands.

Should he report everything he knows to the Letania officials, or should he set off immediately to find the whereabouts of that young man.

Chapter 32 found you

[Adele, I went out first if I had something to do, and I might not be able to make it back today, so you don't have to wait for me.

By the way, I wish you all the best today, and congratulations in advance on your Ph.D. from William University. 】

After leaving such a note on the dining table, Li Ang quietly left the villa.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of people in Brandenburg have been contaminated by that fungus, and Li Ang should be one of them, but the bad thing is that he can't feel any difference in his body at all.

Even if Li Ang told them the information he knew, after they took action, even the day lily might be cold.

Austin, who was the bait, was dead, could the other party just stay here and wait for someone to catch him?Either fight to the death, or just pat your ass and run away.

No matter which path the opponent chose, Li Ang couldn't bear the consequences. He didn't want his life to be the cold number on the casualty report after everything was over.

Find out his whereabouts before the other party escapes, and ask him for the solution to those fungi.

This night, the attention of the entire city was attracted by the actions of the tower warlock guards, and no one paid attention to Li Ang, an unknown soldier.

Li Ang's figure flitted between the buildings, and the hidden magic monitoring devices in the city were useless in his perception. Every pause of Li Ang happened to fall on the dead corner of these monitoring devices.

Even in places that cannot be passed by conventional methods, Li Ang can control the origin stone particles to create temporary footholds under his feet.

Even though he only met once, Li Ang remembered the fluctuations emanating from that young man's body, and according to the direction of energy flow, Li Ang could easily locate the young man.

"The next direction...is this way."

The steps under his feet paused for a moment, and Li Ang instantly changed his direction.

Pursuing the remaining fluctuations of youth, Li Ang came all the way to the edge of the city, but even so, the traces remained uninterrupted, extending all the way to the wilderness outside the city.

If Li Ang remembers correctly, there is a steep canyon in the direction outside the city, and there is an abandoned high tower in the canyon that I don't know when it was built. The locals of Brandenburg have basically heard of that place.

"So, are you hiding in this place?"

Today, Brandenburg is docked in a mountainous area. Because there have been no major natural disasters in the past ten years, Brandenburg has not moved its position.

The Outer Tower of Brandenburg has stood in the wilderness for a long time. Countless people have visited that place. It is not polite to say that even the land there has been scraped several times. People are getting interested in that broken tower.

This is an excellent hiding place.

"It was discovered..."

The moment Austin was 'killed', the youth hiding in the tower sensed the situation.

Although he couldn't remotely control Austin's actions, there was still a certain connection between the two parties. At that moment just now, the young man felt that this connection disappeared.

Obviously, the backhand he left behind to delay time was discovered.

As a result, controlling Austin's body with the fungus did buy him a lot of time, and the situation didn't get so bad that it got completely out of control in the end.

But during this time, he still got nothing.

The fungus released by the youth had already covered most of Brandenburg, but the broken horn of the Witch King seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any clues.

Only in Austin's collection room can one feel an extremely weak reaction.

This kind of result made the young man feel extremely manic. Why did he wait so hard in Leitania for so many years?Isn't it for the legacy left by the Witch King?

The Witch King is one of the most powerful warlocks in the world. His powerful power even distorts his body, turning his horns into an extremely powerful magic device. Some legends have mentioned that the Witch Wang Qiang's secrets are all kept in his horns.

The young man knew that it was not a rumor, and that the two horns were the source of the Witch King's power. As long as he could get the Witch King's horns and withstand the erosion of that power, he could definitely obtain the same powerful power as the Witch King.

Unfortunately, during the battle with the Twin Queens, one of the Witch King's horns was shattered, and only one remained. The young man had been lurking here for several years before finally waiting for the Twin Queens to fall asleep, and the horn Stolen from the tower.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong during the transfer, and a traitor appeared in his plan.

That damned Victorian...couldn't have destroyed the Witch King's severed horn?

With the scope covered by the youth fungus network, it is impossible to find no clues, but because the value of the broken horn of the Witch King is too high, he didn't think about it at all.

He has searched for so long and failed, and the more he sees it now, the more likely it is.

Thinking of this possibility, the young man's expression became more ferocious. Could it be... someone is messing with him behind his back?

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang directly in the young man's mind.

"Dan, what are you doing? Why are you still staying in Letania? You haven't made any contribution in the past few years, and the priest is very disappointed in you."

Hearing this voice, the young man... or rather, the expression on Dan's face couldn't hold back completely. He could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and growled in a low voice, "Did you do it? You were the one who stole me s things?"

"what?"

The voice was taken aback by the anger without warning, and then he said bluntly, "What are you going crazy about? I'm just here to inform you of the priest's decision."

"There is a shortage of manpower in Casimir right now. Stop everything you are doing and go to Casimir immediately, or you will bear the consequences."

The words "Master Priest" were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, calming down Dan's emotions.

After a period of silence, he said in a low voice, "...I see, I'll leave right away."

The voice in his mind has been silenced, and there is no reply to his speech.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Dan stood up abruptly, kicking the chair under his butt to pieces.

At this point, his calculations have completely come to nothing.

Even without the voice in his head, Dan didn't dare to stay here any longer. The bait he threw had already been discovered by the tower, and it would be too late if he didn't run away now.

The fungus left in the city was completely too late to recycle, so he could only reluctantly throw it away... This was the savings he had accumulated little by little over the past few years, but he didn't expect that a wave would directly go to his grandma's house.

Although without his control, those fungi are not fatal, but they can cause some troubles.

It's all that bloody Victorian!Dan thought grimly.

Suddenly, Dan's body froze in place, and he felt something hard press against his back.

"I found you. I didn't expect you to be hiding in this place."

Chapter 33 Burning with Rage

got caught.

The bait thrown out was only killed a few minutes ago, and before he even had time to start running, he was already blocked at the hiding place.

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Dan's forehead. Who on earth is holding his staff against his back now?military police?Warlock Guard?Or is it the 'knight' that he doesn't want to see again in his life?

If the first two were the ones who found him, then Dan would be sure to kill everyone and leave here swaggeringly.
