I, Jianhao, infinite flow

Although it will not have any impact on Yuntian, even if he is hit, he will not break his defense.

But being forced to change moves or being touched by monsters is quite disgusting. After a long time, I naturally developed the habit of using as much strength as possible in the dungeon.

After all, no one wants to be owed something for nothing.

"What about those two?"

Not answering Yuntian's words, Edelweiss looked around and then at the sky, as if he was looking for the mother and daughter who were being chased by the scorpion.

"I handed it to Artemis and let her take it up into the air. Seeing the end of the movement here, it's time to come down in a while."

"But having said that, it's the first time I've seen this kind of scorpion monster."

After casually answering Edelweiss' question, Yun Tian bent down and picked up a magic stone for careful observation.

"Is there no such monster in the dungeon?" Edweiss was a little curious.

It hasn't been too long since she became an adventurer. Although she also has the experience of following expeditions, she is far from proficient in exploring dungeons.

In fact, if you don't count strength, Edelweiss is actually barely getting rid of the title of 'newcomer' in terms of experience. If you really count it, she may not know as much as Bell.

She had never seen this kind of scorpion monster, so she didn't take it seriously, after all, there were many kinds of monsters she didn't know.

But if Yuntian doesn't know him, then something is wrong.

"Didn't you say that all the monsters in the outside world come from dungeons? New species will be produced?"

"No, theoretically not."

Yun Tian recalled the information he had seen.

"The monsters on the surface are all descendants of the monsters that came out of the dungeon in ancient times. The core of the monster lies in the magic stone, or it can be said that it is the magic power provided by the dungeon."

"Once they leave the dungeon, monsters that cannot be replenished can only rely on predation to obtain magic power. Similarly, to create offspring, new monsters also need magic power."

"For surface monsters, without the support of dungeons, they can only consume the magic power in their own magic stones to give birth to offspring."

"So the type will not change, and it is impossible to create a new breed of monster."

"I see." Edelweiss listened carefully to Yun Tian's explanation.

"The consumption of magic power cannot be replenished, so the monsters on the surface will be much weaker than the monsters in the dungeon after generations, is that true?"

"That's right, this has also led to a gap between outside adventurers and Olali adventurers." Yun Tian nodded.

"The intensity of the battle is different, and the growth is naturally different. The difficulty of obtaining great achievements and even the probability of awakening skills and magic are different."

"But look at this."

After finishing speaking, Yun Tian handed the magic stone that he observed carefully just now to Edelweiss.

After receiving the magic stone, Edelweiss looked at it.

"The blue-purple brilliance seems to be no different from the monsters in the dungeon...Huh?"

Looking at it, Edelweiss suddenly thought of what Yun Tian just said.

All the activities of the monsters on the surface are consuming the power in their own magic stones.

"Then how could it be possible to produce magic stones equivalent to dungeon monsters, right?" Yun Tian smiled and picked up two more magic stones to confirm.

"It's not accidental."

"...that's not an explanation!"

"That's right, these guys have mother bodies, either they are just born, or there are existences that can replenish their magic power."

"Or...both."

Yun Tian looked at Edelweiss, then pointed behind her.

Seeing his lover's eyes gradually changing, Edelweiss understood his meaning and sighed helplessly.

"Is it really going to be like this? Being able to give birth to such a large group of monsters can almost be said to be at the same level as a dungeon."

"That's the fun, isn't it?"

The smile on Yuntian's face had lost the gentleness of the past, and what began to burn in his eyes was the fighting spirit that had been silent for a long time.

"You insist on challenging alone?" Edelweiss was making his final persuasion.

"Of course, if I can't win, I won't force it, it's just..."

Saying that, Yun Tian looked at Edelweiss.

"If you don't try it, how do you know I can't win?"

"You are really..." Edelweiss sighed, and gave up trying to persuade him.

A target that can be at the same level as the dungeon and is so valued by the gods, Edelweiss can basically guess the strength of the final boss of this commission.

'No wonder Hermes and Artemis have that expression...'

However, my lover is already planning to single out.

Edelweiss had a headache, but he couldn't speak to Yun Tian.

Most importantly, she knew that once this fighting spirit was ignited, Yuntian would not give up easily.

"Do whatever you want, it will worry me."

"Sorry...thank you."

Yun Tian walked to Edelweiss' side and hugged her gently.

"Hey! Are you okay?" At this time, three black spots also appeared in the sky.

From far to near, it was Artemis and others who noticed the end of the movement and descended on the flying dragon.

……

"I'm really grateful for the life-saving grace, I really don't know how to repay..."

After landing, after understanding everything, the mother who was rescued by Yuntian kept thanking him and the others.

The little girl also stood beside her mother, timidly thanking Yun Tian and the others.

"It's useless to thank you. By the way, those monsters are the scorpions chasing you. Are there other people besides this group?"

Yun Tian stopped the mother from thanking him, and asked him a question that interested him most.

It's not that he is interested in other scorpions, but based on the number of scorpions, he can roughly judge the strength of the opponent this time.

It would be a disappointment if it was a counterfeit that could only give birth to this group of monsters.

Chapter 1045 'The Scorpion of Calamity' Andaris

"No, it's not just this group, the surrounding villages have all been attacked."

Speaking of this topic, the expressions of the mother and daughter are not very good.

They were lucky enough, because they were the last village to be attacked, so they were able to escape beforehand. At the critical moment, they met Yuntian and others and were able to save their lives.

But apart from them, people in other surrounding villages were not so lucky.

The final result of the villagers who did not meet Yuntian can be imagined.

Seeing their sad expressions, Yun Tian stopped asking.

After distributing some food to the mother and daughter, Yun Tian and the others set off again.

Compared with taking care of them or looking for possible survivors, the most important thing for Yuntian and others is to solve the root cause of the mutation first.

……

"The beginning of the matter came from the confirmation of the abnormal proliferation of a certain monster."

At night, the people gathered around the campfire, eating food and listening to Hermes' words.

Maybe it was because the journey was coming to an end, or maybe it was because they encountered monsters directly today, Hermes no longer kept silent about anything like a few days ago, but took the initiative to talk about the content of this commission with Yuntian and others.

"In order to find out the reason, the guild mobilized many family members, some from the outside world, and some from Orario."

"But in the end, without exception, all the family members sent to investigate have lost contact, and the place of investigation is the destination of our trip, the ruins of Elsos."

"That ruin is very special, and there is a certain seal inside."

"Seal..." Yun Tian immediately caught this key word.

In this world, it is not easy to use the word 'seal'.

To put it simply, it was sealed because it couldn't be killed, couldn't be dealt with, and other reasons.

In this world of gods, the meaning of the word 'can't handle' is too heavy.

"Let the mountains collapse, the oceans dry up, the forests wither, and plunder energy from everything. The monsters sealed by the great fairy spirits in ancient times—'Scorpion of Calamity' Andaris!"

"During the long years, it has accumulated a little bit of strength and finally broke through the seal..."

Having said that, Hermes paused.

He first looked at Yuntian, then at Artemis, and then continued:

"The last one that the guild commissioned to investigate was my family member. There, I met Artemis who also accepted the commission. I think she was an outside family member who accepted the commission before me."

Hermes didn't ask Artemis about this sentence, but told Yuntian and the others in a statement.

Yun Tian and the others immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words.

Hermes just said that all the family members who were sent to investigate before him lost contact without exception.

Although the Artemis family is not a family in Orario, it has a high reputation in the outside world. As a high-level member of the Loki family, Yuntian can occasionally hear rumors about them.

It's not that there are no strong people outside of O'Lari, it's just that they are rarer than within O'Lari.

Even if there were no dungeons, the world today would be attacked by monsters all the time, and cleaning up these monsters on the surface was naturally the job of the family members other than Orario.

Among them, the more representative ones are the Artemis family who are active all over the world, and the Poseidon family who are active in the sea to deal with sea monsters, etc.

They are essentially similar to the adventurers in Orario, except that the objects of battle are not dungeons, but monsters on the surface or in the ocean.

Generally speaking, with a family at the level of Artemis taking over, it is almost impossible for external commissions to fail.

Sadly, this time is clearly different.

"My family is all gone."
