Lu Jiu and Si Xu couldn't believe it. Vera and Song Mozhi were not ordinary people. Not to mention that they were protected by people every day, their own strength was not bad.
Lu Jiu had witnessed Song Mozhi's strengthening ability with his own eyes. It was an extremely rare ability to assimilate matter. Whatever body it touched could be assimilated into the same substance. Her ability was very difficult to control. If you want to attack her, you must first consider your own strength.
Vera was a mermaid. Even if her strength was limited on land, it was not too bad. Moreover, she had a small energy gun in her hand. How did she disappear?
Si Xu immediately contacted Si Qinian and asked about what happened.
Si Qinian told Si Xu that Vera and Song Mozhi were kidnapped on their way to the shooting club. There were six bodyguards following them at the time, two of whom were enhanced humans, but they were unable to stop the man.
Si Xu frowned, "Only one person?"
Si Xu found this a bit puzzling.
They all knew that someone had been trying to harm Song Mozhi. Whether it was for the magic crystal or for Song Mozhi himself, this matter should not involve Vera. That person would not have kidnapped Vera for no reason, right?
Si Qinian said in a deep voice: "The six bodyguards are not dead, they were just stunned. They only saw one person, and that person asked them to tell Country Z to hand over Lu Jiu, otherwise their lives would be in danger."
Si Xu pursed his lips. Could he have guessed wrong? The main target this time was not Song Mozhi, but Lu Jiu? If the target was Lu Jiu, catching Vera would be enough to threaten Lu Jiu, so why did they take Song Mozhi with them?
Si Qinian said: "We are tracking down that person's whereabouts. You should deal with the mother plant first."
After hanging up the phone, Si Xu was silent for a long time.
Lu Jiu was anxious, "How is it? Any news about them?"
Si Xu had already made a decision, "'Special Security Department' is trying its best to track that person, let's deal with the mother plant first, and then go to help."
Since that person came for Lu Jiu, he dared not act rashly as long as Lu Jiu was not caught.
Time was urgent, they could no longer wait, they had to solve the problem of the mother plant as soon as possible, otherwise the longer they delayed, the more marine life would be infected, and the more dangerous the situation of the two mothers would be.
The mother plant of the diseased insect is not just the business of country Z, but the business of all mankind. Therefore, this operation is not just for country Z, other countries will also send people with special abilities. Si Xu and Lu Jiu must focus on dealing with the mother plant without letting it get damaged. They will definitely have no time to take care of other dangers from the outside world, so other people with special abilities will be needed to help solve it.
The situation is serious, and it is not the time for internal strife. No matter how big the hatred or resentment is, it must be put aside when facing the life and death crisis of all mankind. Solve the biggest crisis first and then think about other things.
The people with special abilities of country Z rushed to the designated coordinates first, and people with special abilities of other countries followed one after another.
The mother plant grows in the deepest part of the trench. If Si Xu wants to use his ability to penetrate from the sea surface to reach the deep part of the trench, his ability will certainly be weakened. No one can guarantee whether he can successfully control the mother plant. The safest way is to go into the sea and start from a position closer to the mother plant.
When Si Xu goes into the sea, he can use his ability to eliminate the sea water around him without worrying about being infected by insects. But Lu Jiu is different. Whenever he goes into the sea, he must be in the form of a sea monster. He is likely to be infected if he directly contacts the sea water, unless he wraps his whole body with magic energy to prevent insects from getting close to him, but in this case, Lu Jiu's magic energy consumption will be very large.
After much thought, Lu Jiu wanted to ask Golofitz for a high-level blood purifier. As long as his blood was pure enough and his strength was strong enough, he would not have to worry about the consumption of magic energy. However, Golofitz refused without a second thought.
A potion to enhance physical strength and a bunch of magic materials to make killing agents were not as expensive as this high-level blood purifier, which cost 5 million magic points. The magic points for upgrading the demon hunting system were only 1 million points. It was almost impossible for Golofitz to leave so many magic points unused.
Lu Jiu persuaded him earnestly: We should have a long-term vision. Only when I become stronger, the probability of finding an energy depot for you will be greater.
Golofitz asked the Demon Hunting System to convey his words.
[What you said makes sense, but I must also consider the possibility that even an energy depot does not have it. These 5 million magic points are the key.]
Lu Jiu: How about I pay you back, and I will definitely pay you back in the future.
[I can't bet our lives on your integrity.]
Lu Jiu sighed: In this case, let's leave it to fate. If I die, you can let the Demon Hunting System find another father.
[……]
There is no other way, we can only follow the original plan.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu will go to the sea, and those with water-related abilities will also go to the sea to coordinate and solve other problems for Lu Jiu and Si Xu. The remaining abilities will stay on the sea to deal with unknown dangers.
After everything was discussed, everyone was ready to go to sea, when suddenly they saw a big ship heading this way.
Ansiel stood on the deck and waved to Lu Jiu, "Count us in, we'll help."
Everyone: "..."
Ansiel was fine, he was strong and powerful, and you could tell he was quite strong, but was the old man next to him sure he was here to help? It felt like the wind was strong enough to sprain his waist, so who would be responsible if something went wrong?
Lu Jiu didn't expect Lawson and Ansiel to come over so suddenly, he looked at Si Xu, who used his ability to send Lu Jiu to Ansiel's ship.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Is there any news about Vanluns?"
Lu Jiu guessed that the disappearance of Vera and Song Mozhi might be related to Vanluns, but Vanluns was older than Lawson. Even if Vanluns really turned into a mutant Haiga, with his strength, he was not enough to deal with Vera and Song Mozhi at the same time, not to mention that he could easily capture the two of them from the hands of six bodyguards.
Ansel said: "When we were sorting out the research data we brought out, we found some doubts. There may be other people behind Vanluns. Vanluns was just a puppet pushed to the surface. Vanluns suddenly disappeared, and he may have gone to the mastermind behind the scenes."
Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment before telling them the news that Vera was captured.
Ansiel and Lawson were extremely angry, "What do they want to do by taking Vera away? Their research base has been destroyed, are they still unwilling to give up and want to build another one?!"
Their hearing is very sensitive, even if Lu Jiu did not deliberately listen, he heard some of the content of the phone call.
That person came for him.
Lu Jiu said: "Now we need to drag the mother plant of the disease out of the sea, throw it into the crater to burn it, and then think of a way to save people."
Ansiel: "Don't worry, we will help you." As
soon as the voice fell, Ansiel had taken off his shirt, revealing his strong chest, and jumped into the sea.
Lu Jiu: "..."
Lu Jiu threw himself onto the guardrail and shouted to the sea, "Wrap your whole body with magic energy, don't let the diseased insects get close to you!"
"Don't worry, we know what to do." Lawson spoke in international language, and Lu Jiu understood.
Lawson also took off his shirt. Although he was very old, he still had a lot of muscles on his body, which showed that he must have exercised regularly.
The old man also jumped into the sea from the deck, and his entry posture was quite standard.
Lu Jiu kept staring at the sea until two heads emerged from the sea. Looking at their ear fins, Lu Jiu was finally relieved.
Perhaps influenced by the father and son, Lu Jiu also took off his shirt boldly and put it into the space ring.
Si Xu's eyelids twitched, and then he saw Lu Jiu also jumped into the sea.
People with special abilities from various countries: "..."
Wasn't Lu Jiu the only mermaid/siren? How come there are two more of them suddenly? And one of them is so old!
Si Xu glanced at the people with special abilities from various countries who were still preparing, "Hurry up, I'll go down first."
Si Xu jumped off the boat and stood steadily on the sea. In the envious eyes of everyone, his figure slowly sank into the sea.
There was an independent small space around Si Xu, and the sea water could not get close to him. Lu Jiu in the form of a siren circled Si Xu and swam towards the trench first, followed closely by Lawson and Ansel.
When they reached the edge of the trench, Lu Jiu stopped first. It was pitch black in the trench, and they would probably get lost if they continued like this. Moreover, there were many giant sea monsters hidden in it that had never appeared. It was better not to disturb them if possible.
Lu Jiu looked at Ansiel and Lawson. The colors of these two sirens were different from Lu Jiu.
I don’t know if it’s because they are older than Lu Jiu, or because of blood problems, Ansiel’s scales are silver-blue with a restrained glow, and he looks mature and stable, while Lawson’s scales are grayish white, and the luster of his scales is not as good as Lu Jiu and Ansiel, which can make people feel that they have been through hardships.
Lu Jiu said in the sea, "You stay here, Asu and I will go down to take a look."
Ansiel and Lawson nodded, and the two were willing to guard this place and wait for them to come back.
Seeing that they had nothing in their hands, Asu took out two bracelets from the space ring, poured magic energy into them, and the bracelets would turn into spears and tridents. Withdrawing the magic energy, they would turn into bracelets again.
This was the inspiration Asu got from his own magic knife bracelet, and he developed a similar magic weapon.
Ansiel and Lawson were very happy. With such a handy weapon, their fighting power would only be stronger.
The two sirens were familiarizing themselves with their new weapons at the edge of the trench, while Lu Jiu pulled Si Xu to swim deeper into the trench. It was too dark inside, so Lu Jiu took out a diving flashlight from the space ring and groped his way down.
They stopped several times to avoid the giant sea monster, and finally saw the silver-green area on the seabed. From above, it looked like a large area, but in fact there was only one plant, but there were too many and too long filaments, which looked like they covered the entire bottom of the trench.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu planned to go around and get closer to the roots of the mother plant to see if it was just growing in the mud and sand on the seabed, then they would need to uproot it. If it had no roots, that would be even easier, they could just bundle it up and drag it away.
The speed of the siren in the sea is very fast. Lu Jiu led Si Xu and quickly circled to the bottom of the trench. He shone a diving flashlight and found that the bottom of the mother plant was like a huge ball. To their surprise, the bottom of the mother plant did not grow in the mud and sand at the bottom of the trench, but grew on the rocks.
If it is forcibly dragged away, the roots will be broken here, and it is unknown when it will grow out again. Wouldn’t it be more troublesome?
Lu Jiu led Si Xu to swim forward for a while, and suddenly heard the system prompt sound.
[The energy collection system reminds the host that there is a large amount of magic crystal marrow ahead. Do you want to absorb it now?]
Lu Jiu was stunned: How much is a large amount?
[The energy collection system reminds the host that the entire space is full of magic crystal marrow. Do you want to absorb it now?]
Lu Jiu:? ! ! ! ! !
Lu Jiu looked at Si Xu and said in disbelief: "There should be an energy depot ahead."
Si Xu was also surprised. The space he was in was isolated from the sea water, and his voice came out muffled, "Let's go and have a look."
The two swam forward for a while, and Lu Jiu shone the diving flashlight, only to see a corner exposed outside the mud and sand, and the mother plant happened to grow on the rocks in these corners.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu didn't know what to say. Should they say that the Demon Clan has not run out of luck or that they are too lucky to be able to find it like this?
However, the problem at hand is also very troublesome. The mother plant can grow so huge, obviously it has absorbed the energy in the palace, which means that the energy of this palace has leaked. If they forcibly pull out the mother plant, will it cause the palace to explode again?
This is a very dangerous thing. If it explodes at the bottom of the trench, they will be buried in a minute and will not be able to escape. It is not realistic to absorb all the magic crystal marrow in the palace before taking the next step. The energy collection system needs time to convert energy, and time is what they lack most now.
Lu Jiu looked at Si Xu inquiringly. Si Xu had already thought of what Lu Jiu could think of, and Si Xu had also thought of what Lu Jiu had not thought of.
The current earth plane can no longer support a second magic impact, and the magic crystal marrow here must be taken out intact.
Si Xu said to Lu Jiu, "Help me keep an eye on the mother plant. We might alarm it in a while."
Lu Jiu held him back, "What do you want to do?"
Si Xu: "Most of this palace is buried in the mud and sand. It's not easy to drag it out. I'm going to make a hole from the top to see if I can put all the magic crystal marrow inside into the space ring, take the magic crystal marrow away first, and then pull out the mother plant."
Lu Jiu's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. The only thing to worry about was that the movement created when the hole was made would attract the attack of the mother plant.
Lu Jiu: "Be careful, I will control the mother plant."
No matter what, Lu Jiu would not let the mother plant hurt Si Xu.
Si Xu also took out a diving flashlight and approached the palace exposed outside. Lu Jiu kept watching the reaction of the mother plant.
Si Xu approached quietly until he stood on the top of the palace. The mother plant was still relatively quiet.
The magic knife on Si Xu's wrist appeared, and the blade was covered with powerful magic energy. Before he cut, he glanced at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu was ready to use the water band to tie up all the tentacles of the mother plant.
Lu Jiu nodded to indicate that he was ready.
Si Xu raised the magic knife and stabbed it hard into the rock of the palace. The magic knife was very sharp and it cut through the top like cutting tofu.
Although Lu Jiu did not hear any sound, the mother plant growing above the palace obviously felt the vibration. Some of the tentacles that stretched upwards bent back, as if to check the surrounding situation.
Si Xu's ability is absorption. As long as he is given a hole that can absorb the magic crystal marrow, he can empty the entire palace.
Si Xu did not draw his sword, but used both hands to spin a round hole at the top of the palace. Si Xu sucked up the stone blocking the hole and threw it away. There should be air in the palace. A long string of bubbles gurgled upwards. Si Xu did not care about these, and stretched his arm into the hole to absorb the magic crystal marrow in the palace.
Si Xu's operation was quite loud. All the tentacles of the mother plant were startled and turned to rush towards the roots. Lu Jiu was prepared. The water belt went up along the roots of the mother plant, tying up the countless tentacles that were baring their teeth and claws!
The countless tentacles twisted and struggled desperately, and soon the bottom of the trench was turbid. Lu Jiu was so shocked that he had to hold his breath. The mother plant was still twisting desperately, and the sand and gravel on the seabed flew everywhere. A huge funnel-shaped vortex was formed. As the mother plant twisted more and more, the strong suction force rolled up the sand and gravel, broken bones and small sea monsters at the bottom of the trench and flew towards the top of the trench.
People waiting outside the trench and on the sea surface had never expected that such a large whirlpool would suddenly appear on the seabed, forcing the ships to retreat and avoid being swept into the whirlpool.
This situation was something that Lu Jiu had never expected. He was already tied up and yet he could still cause such trouble. Lu Jiu had to change his plan and raise a water prison from the bottom to trap countless tentacles in it. Lu Jiu was afraid that they would throw away their tentacles when shaking and twisting. By then, the sea would be full of diseases and insects, and there would be no point in them struggling like this.
The mother plant was too huge. Lu Jiu consumed a lot of magic energy to create such a huge water prison. The mother plant was also restless in the water prison and was desperately hitting the water prison. Every time it hit, the tentacles that touched the water prison would burst out silver-green juice.
Lu Jiu thought to himself that he had finished speaking. Despite all the precautions, he still couldn't prevent the mother plant from self-destructing. As a result, his water prison couldn't be removed at all, and he couldn't let the juice full of diseases and insects spread into the sea water.
Lu Jiu was fighting wits and courage with the mother plant, and Si Xu was not idle either. Since the mother plant had been alarmed, Si Xu no longer held back and used the magic knife to cut a bigger hole, so that the speed of absorbing the magic crystal marrow would be faster.
Lu Jiu struggled to hold on. His magic essence was consumed very quickly. He had to take out the magic crystals given by the Elton family and resist the consumption of magic essence while absorbing it. The energy of the magic crystals was drained very quickly, and they turned to gray and shattered one by one. Just when Lu Jiu was left with only the last one, a closed space suddenly rose up outside his water prison.
Lu Jiu hurriedly looked at Si Xu. Si Xu was sharing the burden for him while collecting the magic crystal marrow in the palace. When the last magic crystal marrow was taken away, Si Xu jumped up, grabbed Lu Jiu and swam quickly upwards.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu worked together to pull the giant mother plant upwards. In order to prevent the roots of the mother plant from breaking in the cracks of the rocks, Si Xu even wrapped the top rock of the palace and pulled it up together.
When Si Xu and Lu Jiu dragged the heavy mother plant out of the trench, they found that Ansiel, Lawson and other people with special abilities who were guarding outside were actually fighting in a group. The other party in the fight was the mutant Haijia, who was very familiar to Lu Jiu and Si Xu!
Lawson was fighting with an equally old mutant sea urchin with a spear. Lawson was very ferocious, and every spear he stabbed was aimed at the vital points of the old mutant sea urchin. He was not only fighting with his hands, but also cursing.
Lu Jiu didn't understand what he was cursing.
Ansel was also fighting a strong mutant sea urchin, and the remaining mutant sea urchins were fought by a group of well-armed ability users.
These should be the only remaining bloodline of the Cecil family, and they were also the ones taken away by Van Luns at that time. In this case, the old mutant sea urchin should be Van Luns, so it's no wonder that Lawson's anger value soared.
Lu Jiu wanted to get rid of them all, but he couldn't do anything now, as all his energy was on the mother plant.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu didn't stop, dragging the giant mother plant upwards. All the people who were fighting had to quickly avoid this huge monster. There was already a huge ship waiting on the sea, which was specially used to carry the giant mother plant.
Si Xu climbed out of the sea and stood on the sea. Lu Jiu stayed away from Si Xu, but he didn't withdraw from the water prison, and he couldn't withdraw. The seawater trapped in the water prison was full of pests, and he couldn't let the pests enter the sea again.
The sea surface immediately became busy, and everyone was doing what they could. They tied ropes to the isolation space created by Si Xu to share the weight for Si Xu and Lu Jiu. A group of people finally dragged the mother plant onto the giant ship. Neither Lu Jiu nor Si Xu had the ability to withdraw, and they planned to hold on until the mother plant was thrown into the crater.
Just when everyone worked together to solve the mother plant, strange ships suddenly appeared around them and surrounded them. The giant ship that was about to leave had to stop, otherwise it would definitely collide with the other ship. Someone
shouted at them, asking them to get out of the way quickly, as destroying the mother plant was the most important thing. Unfortunately, the other party didn't listen at all and still blocked the road.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu both had a bad feeling in their hearts. The man who kidnapped Vera and Song Mozhi would not come out to cause trouble at this time, right? This is the mother plant. If we are not careful, the whole sea will be ruined.
Lu Jiu guessed that if the other party was an individual, he would not be crazy enough to ignore the mother plant.
However, the thinking of a madman is often not something that normal people can control.
A man wrapped in a white robe jumped off the big ship and stood steadily on the sea. This scene made everyone's eyes widen.
They always thought that only Si Xu could use this skill, but they didn't expect that someone else could do it.
At this time, the Demon Hunting System had gone crazy, screaming wildly in Lu Jiu's mind.
[How is this possible! How can there be pure demons on the Earth plane? ! 】
Lu Jiu was also very surprised. Although the other party was tightly wrapped, he did not doubt the system's detection results.
Lu Jiu said: Is it a pure Demon Spirit Clan or a Demon Spirit Clan that has been genetically enhanced in the later stage?
[Pure, pure Demon Spirit Clan! ]
The Demon Hunting System has been sharing news with Si Xu. Si Xu also heard these two sentences and could not help but frown.
The Demon Hunting System immediately proved its innocence.
[I really didn't lie to you. I really didn't sense the existence of the Demon Spirit Clan before, really! ]
Lu Jiu knew that the system did not lie, otherwise it would not have been so excited after detecting Si Xu's Demon Spirit Clan bloodline.
Si Xu murmured: How strong is the pure Demon Spirit Clan?
[Very, very strong, you have to be careful. 】
Lu Jiu and Si Xu both understood that if this person took action, he could easily capture anyone he wanted, not to mention Vera and Song Mozhi.
The man in white robe didn't know that his past had been exposed by the system. He walked towards Lu Jiu and Si Xu step by step.
