525 Egg
It was a dark green egg that was as tall as a person. It was currently intermittently releasing strands of light, like a beating heart.
As the green light appeared, mysterious runes gradually appeared on the egg.
Dark green threads floated out from the egg, binding the mutated creatures and pulling them towards the egg.
Soon, the mutated creatures were pulled closer to the dark green egg. When they touched the eggshell, the eggshell rippled like water, and the mutated creatures gradually fused into the dark green egg.
Then, chewing sounds came from the egg.
The little girl was bound by the green silk thread, and a look of shock appeared on her face. When she felt an irresistible force pulling her into the dark green egg, a look of horror appeared on her face, and she screamed and struggled.
However, no matter how hard she struggled, she was still determined to get closer to the egg.
When she got close to the egg, the little girl’s mouth tore open and turned into a huge bloody mouth. She bit at the green egg. However, as soon as her mouth touched the green egg, there were ripples on the green egg. Her entire mouth slowly merged into the green egg, and even her head gradually sank into the green egg.
The little girl’s face was filled with shock. She wanted to pull her head out, but her body remained firm and she slowly merged into the green egg.
When the little girl’s entire body merged into the green egg, chewing sounds could be heard, and they quickly calmed down.
….
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe checked the other cities and received the same news. The mutation phenomenon suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Until now, the mutation phenomenon had not appeared again.
Lu Yuan thought of the elf man from before and guessed that it was probably related to his death.
However, Lu Yuan had no evidence.
Not long after, the next day, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe received news from the headquarters.
After seeing the news, the two of them widened their eyes slightly and revealed a trace of shock.
“The headquarters is under attack? Someone actually entered the underground holding room? It also caused the death of three Battle King-level elders. However, the invaders were eventually killed by the three Battle Emperors…How did he get in?”
Li Qinghe was in disbelief.
When Lu Yuan saw this news, he immediately thought of the elf man.
If he was killed, it should be that guy, right?
He didn’t expect that the elf man would take advantage of the time when the Soul Devouring Beads were active in the outside world to enter the underground storage room.
Fortunately, he was discovered in the end.
“I wonder if the mutated creatures in the underground storage room have been taken away?” He asked.
Li Qinghe also thought of this. She nodded and said, “The headquarters wants us to go back. Let’s go back and see the situation first.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
He took Li Qinghe and disappeared from the resting room of Baiming City’s night watchman branch.
In the next moment, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe arrived in the sky above the Imperial City. The two of them flew towards the headquarters of the night watchmen.
Soon, they arrived at the headquarters of the night watchers. To Lu Yuan’s surprise, the headquarters was undamaged.
Lu Yuan thought of Li Xinghai and the other two old men. They must have used some means to control the scope of the battle. If the elf wanted to escape, tearing space would not destroy the headquarters of the night watchmen.
As he thought about the problem, he and Li Qinghe quickly entered the headquarters of the night watchers.
Lu Yuan’s gaze swept across the hall and realized that the ordinary people in the hall had already disappeared. Those who remained were all genetic warriors. Their strength was not weak, and the lowest was at the battle general level.
It was probably because there was a problem with the underground storage room, and it was to prevent ordinary people from being in danger.
As Lu Yuan thought about it, he and Li Qinghe arrived at the entrance of the underground holding room under the watchmen’s greeting.
After that, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe passed the inspection and entered the underground holding room.
There were more people in the underground storage room than usual. Even Gu An and Secretary Liu were there.
Seeing Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe enter, Gu An was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised.
“I just sent the message. How did you guys get there so quickly?”
Lu Yuan smiled. “My spatial ability is quite strong. I have some advantages in traveling.”
As he spoke, Lu Yuan turned around and looked around.
Not far away, the small rooms that were used to prevent mutated creatures were destroyed. The ground was in a mess, and even the ceiling had cracks.
It could be seen that the mutated creatures in the room had disappeared. Lu Yuan guessed that they had either been stolen or transferred.
Gu An didn’t ask further. He nodded and said with a serious expression,
“Previously, because the invaders destroyed the underground storage room, in order to prevent any more accidents, before the underground storage room is rebuilt, a large number of people are needed to watch over the mutated creatures. In addition, the Soul Devouring Bead seemed to have been retrieved by the intruder, so there was no need to continue watching the mutation phenomenon. I asked you to come back.”
When Lu Yuan heard this, he revealed a look of realization. As expected, the elf man from before had retrieved the Soul Devouring Bead?
At this moment, Li Qinghe frowned slightly and asked, “Intruders destroyed the underground storage room? How did he get in?”
Hearing this, Gu An glanced at Lu Yuan and said with a bitter smile, “The strange wooden door that Elder Lu caught previously should have the function of locating coordinates. That intruder had another similar door and entered through the coordinates. He didn’t even alarm the alarm.”
Lu Yuan was a little shocked. The Black Abyss Demon Sect? There was actually such an effect?
Lu Yuan’s space-type transcendent gene was already not weak, but he actually did not sense it at that time?
However, Lu Yuan remembered that after the Black Abyss Demon Gate was opened, it would not cause spatial fluctuations, so he was relieved.
The others also looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression. If they did not know that Lu Yuan was extremely talented and was one of the top young generation in the Red Maple Empire, they would have thought that Lu Yuan was a traitor.
Li Qinghe did not expect such a thing to happen. She frowned slightly. “Then are there any mutated creatures missing?”
Hearing this, Gu An’s expression darkened. “Yes, after we counted, we lost a total of 455 mutated creatures. Among them, there were four S-class mutated creatures, including the two Soul Devouring Beads from before. There were also 32 A-class mutated creatures, 291 B-class mutated creatures, and the rest were C-class and D-class mutated creatures.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe’s expressions changed slightly.
...
“Can you find the location of those mutants?”
Lu Yuan asked.
Gu An shook her head slightly and sighed. “No, those mutated creatures were taken away by the previous intruder through that door. If that intruder was still alive, we might still be able to find those mutated creatures. However, his eyes are dead, and we can’t find the previous coordinates from that wooden door. I’m afraid it’s difficult to find them. In the next period of time, there might be more mutated phenomena in various regions.”
Hearing this, the atmosphere became heavy.
Every time there was a mutation phenomenon, it meant that someone died. The mutation phenomenon of S and A class was even more terrifying. It was equivalent to an Overlord and Emperor class.
For a moment, everyone was on tenterhooks.
After a moment of silence, Gu An smiled and said, “No matter what, we’ve managed to protect most of the mutated creatures. In comparison, the number of mutated creatures we lost is considered very small. This is worth being happy about.”
Many people smiled bitterly when they heard this.
“I’ll send people to look for the lost mutants. Now, the most important thing is to rebuild the underground storage room. I hope everyone can do their part.”
Lu Yuan and the others nodded.
Even though he was an honorary elder of the night watchers, he still needed help in this matter.
...
….
In the next four days, the effects of the previous invaders and the large number of mutations gradually disappeared. There were no new invaders, so Lu Yuan and the others relaxed a little.
After Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe finished their duty, they returned to their small villa in the White Willow District.
Lu Yuan returned to his room and glanced at the door of light. He found that he could already enter the Land of Origin.
With a thought, Lu Yuan entered the Land of Origin with a flash of white light.
