The octopus-like figure looked up at the sky.
The heavy rain blocked out all the air.
His tentacles moved, feeling the cold water.
"This guy has the same strength as me? He wants to stop me. Could he be the hostile Chosen One in this mission?"
He recalled the scene he had vaguely glimpsed through the statue just now. The other party was able to melt into a pool of flesh and blood. No, perhaps the other party's true form was that pool of flesh and blood, and the appearance of the indigenous people was just a disguise.
Thinking of the requirement of eliminating hostile Chosen Ones in the mission, he felt annoyed and blinked his eyes.
"I originally wanted to use the statue to directly transform everyone and deal with the unknown Chosen One at the same time. Now it seems that I have to go there in person?"
The octopus man looked at the statue again, and there was even a crack on it.
He put away the statue and glanced at the heavy rain in the sky.
This rainstorm will soon reach Utopia, and the clear rain water will purify the polluted world.
Green smoke rose from the octopus man's body, and the smoke soared straight up and disappeared into the clouds.
Soon, the color of the rainstorm clouds gradually changed to dark green. The deep color was like mold, making the raindrops sticky and foul-smelling, emitting a disgusting smell.
Ahead, the octopus man saw a marching army heading away from the heavy rain.
He observed this army for several days. After some speculation and investigation, he learned that it was an army from a city-state in the west. Their destination was also Utopia. It was the spies hidden in Utopia who sent the message and informed the city-state of the intelligence of the promised land, so they sent out the army to obtain the coordinates.
But the octopus man found it funny.
Because their city-state had been submerged in the rainstorm and destroyed as a test subject of the octopus man, now in that underwater city, there were only rotting zombies repeating their actions in life.
This army had no idea what was happening in their hometown.
And now, even they are about to be drowned by the rain.
"Let me test the effect of this rain."
The octopus man's eyes kept flashing. He saw that although the army was marching quite fast in the desert, they were human flesh and blood after all and they always needed to rest.
Half a day later, the green rain finally caught up with the army.
Even though the army had been aware of this and quickened their pace instead of resting as normal, when the rain fell on them, everything happened irreversibly.
Those strong warriors were eroded by the rain, and their flesh and blood burst into green colonies. Their internal organs withered in an instant, then swelled up again, bursting their stomachs, and flowed to the sand, being dragged. Their wailing was soon drowned out by the sound of rain, and after a moment, the army disappeared.
In its place is a zombie army that is not afraid of death, spreads plague, and is completely obedient.
The octopus man came to their commander. The once heroic man now had one eye drooping from its socket. His lips were festering, revealing two rows of green teeth. The hollows on his cheeks were filled with colonies of bacteria.
"keep going."
The octopus man thought about it and felt that it might be possible to use this undead army to directly capture Utopia.
When utopia becomes his city, then isn't it up to him to decide who will be the ruler?
The octopus man thought so and dived into the water, disappearing into obscurity.
…
…
Lu Ban quickly returned to the house.
He also glanced at the people who were following him, and they were all very serious.
Lu Ban decided to reward them.
So he sneaked back to the college, got a few insect burritos, and then quietly placed them in the open space behind those people.
Finally, Lu Ban returned to the house and completed the handover with the paper man Lu Ban.
He stood up and stretched.
Although his main body had become a mass of rotten flesh, Lu Ban still felt uncomfortable with being in that form.
"It's better to be a human being."
Lu Ban stretched his muscles and refreshed himself.
Outside the house.
The person in charge of surveillance suddenly saw some movement in the house, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared.
"Hey, look, he's moving!"
He hurriedly shook the man next to him by the shoulder.
He also couldn't have imagined that after Lu Ban entered the house, he sat there in a daze for half a day.
Apart from turning over from time to time, there was no other movement.
This person came here to take a nap?
He was extremely confused.
Now seeing through the window that Lu Ban finally stood up, he felt relieved.
Seeing Lu Ban moving around in the house, the young man took two steps back, trying to hide deeper to avoid being discovered.
At this time, he found that an insect burrito had been placed next to him without him knowing when.
"Did you bring this?"
He picked up the insect burrito and asked his companion.
“I don’t know.”
My companions also found it strange.
The two men sniffed the insect burrito, confirmed that there was nothing unusual in the smell, and then divided it into two halves, each taking half.
Just as I started eating, I saw Lu Ban leaving the room.
The two men hurriedly wolfed down the insect burritos whole and chased after them.
Lu Ban was seen returning to the academy, as if he had just come here to take a nap, which made everyone confused.
While the two were still thinking about whether to continue waiting for Lu Ban at the academy gate or go back to report the results, they saw several people rushing in from the other side of the street, making a lot of noise.
"You, why is there a hole in your clothes? Who did it?"
The man in the lead saw a hole in the clothes of a passerby on the street and immediately asked in a high-pitched voice.
"Uh, I accidentally cut it at home..."
The passerby was intimidated by the other party's momentum and answered with a stammer.
"Someone, help him fix it!"
The leading man said this, and immediately someone rushed up and forcibly repaired the clothes of the passerby.
Watching the two people doing needlework with ferocious looks, I felt an inexplicable sense of contrast.
This is the boss of the Quicksand Council, Lei Ting. On weekdays, if not humble and low-key, he is at least an arrogant and domineering person. But no one expected that he would treat other people like this today.
"What's the problem?"
While the two were helping passers-by mend their clothes, Lei Ting grabbed another passer-by and asked him in a stern voice.
"I...I don't have any difficulties."
The woman was frightened and spoke hurriedly.
"How is that possible? You must be having difficulties. Don't hide it. Tell me. I can help you solve them!"
Thunder roared again.
The woman shrank her neck, thought hard, and then spoke hesitantly.
"I haven't decided what to eat for dinner yet..."
"Someone, bring her two of the biggest bugs, fat ones!"
Lei Ting immediately sent someone to stuff the two wriggling worms into the woman's arms.
"If anyone of you needs any help, please tell me. From now on, I will do my best to help everyone. Come on, tell me."
Lei Ting said to everyone.
It left everyone confused.
What medicine did I take wrong?
