"What the hell is this?" The director of the Starry Sky Bureau opened his eyes wide. Although it was a cool day, cold sweat broke out on his forehead because of the devastating scene displayed on the virtual big screen in front of him.
In the interstellar space outside the Central Star, a large dark cloud floated over at the speed of light. Purple-black lightning kept shuttling through the dark cloud, mysterious and dangerous. In just a moment, the dark cloud had already approached the Central Star. However, what was even more terrifying was that in front of this dark cloud, a huge alien beast flapped its wings and flew high in the starry sky. Its body was pitch black as if it was made of the finest steel.
It is the mainstream perception that strange beasts cannot break through the constraints of the planet. But now this unidentified strange beast can actually survive in space, which has completely broken the perception of everyone who saw this phenomenon.
"Director." The inspector swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "After comparison, this strange beast should be a bird."
"Nonsense." The director of the Starry Sky Bureau was furious when he heard this. It was not like he was blind and could not tell the species of this strange beast.
The inspector was on the verge of tears. "Director, the unidentified substance following this strange beast is incredibly powerful. The monitoring system we sent out was crushed before it even got close. Only one of them sent back fuzzy data from the front, and we're so far away we don't know if it's accurate."
"Then send a few more monitoring systems over. What I need now is accurate data, not vague data." The director of the Starry Sky Bureau slapped the table and shouted loudly. If the target of this group of unidentified matter is the Central Star, then they must make preparations in advance. Judging from the current speed, it will definitely take no more than two hours for this strange beast and the unidentified matter to reach the Central Star.
The inspector's hands were shaking, his face pale. "Director, no matter how much defense we put in place, it's useless. The energy carried by this mass of unidentified matter is enough to destroy ten central planets."
"What did you say? What do you mean?" The director of the Starry Sky Bureau stared at the inspector, his eyes full of red bloodshot. Ever since he detected this phenomenon, he has been staring at the virtual screen without moving his eyes.
"The data transmitted from the periphery of the last detection system device is very shocking. I calculated that the energy carried by this mass of matter is enough to completely destroy the central star. No, no, no, it is enough to destroy ten planets like the central star." The inspector muttered, his eyes wide open.
The director of the Starry Sky Bureau was stunned for two seconds, then turned on his computer and quickly walked to a hidden place: "Chief, after preliminary testing..."
After making this call, the director of the Starry Sky Bureau looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his whole body soaked in sweat. He staggered two steps and fell weakly into the chair.
Raising his eyes, the Director of the Starry Sky Bureau waved his hand: "Continue the test."
"Yes!" The inspector nodded firmly, and continued to stare at the virtual screen with his bloodshot eyes without blinking. No matter what, he would work until the last moment.
The dark clouds continued to press towards the central star. The inspector felt even more depressed. He frowned in confusion, wondering if it was his illusion, but the strange beast in front seemed to be moving faster.
Before the predicted two hours, and with fifteen minutes left, the bird-like monster had already rushed into the central star, followed by dark clouds that could cover half of the planet. It also followed the monster into the central star. At this moment, the entire central star became a little darker.
"Yanlu, you go first. I want to wait for someone here." After leaving the forest of strange beasts, there is a flat open space with few people nearby. It is just right for him to wait for Hei Yao here.
"Okay, then you be careful." Yan Lu came back to his senses from his disarray. Now he had to return to his family. If it was the original Xiao Mo, he would definitely be worried, but now Xiao Mo was so powerful that he could not match him. He could also focus on dealing with the next things. At least he had the right to speak against the family's assassination of Xiao Mo again. According to Xiao Mo's current strength, the family would not dare to act rashly again.
Looking back at the young man's delicate face, Yan Lu strengthened his mind and headed towards the family step by step.
The morning wind was a little chilly, but the young man waiting was full of enthusiasm. After waiting for a long time, He Mo saw a small black dot appear in the sky. He blinked his eyes, and the small black dot had turned into a huge black bird.
A strong airflow came from under the black bird's wings, and the black bird shrank its body. When it landed on the ground, it had turned into a young man dressed in dark green clothes.
The boy had cold and arrogant eyes and a bit of rebelliousness. His black hair was simply tied up high with silk, revealing his angular yet childish face.
Meeting the boy's slightly suspicious gaze, He Mo smiled and greeted this partner who had fought alongside him for hundreds of years: "Obsidian."
The boy looked up and down at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, sniffed hard, and it was still a familiar smell, but the boy showed a look of disgust: "Why are you so ugly?"
He Mo frowned, his excitement cooled down a bit. This guy still had the same sharp tongue.
After constant cultivation and adjustments, his body in the world of cultivation could be said to be among the top three in appearance in the entire world of cultivation. As long as a cultivator has achieved success, there is no one with an ugly appearance. Although his current appearance is not bad, it is naturally not inferior to the appearance of the bodies in the world of cultivation that have been imbued with the essence of heaven and earth.
Although Hei Yao's tone was full of disgust, his expression was naturally intimate. If you looked closely, you could also detect the joy hidden in his eyes.
Two partners who have been together for hundreds of years suddenly lost their trace one day. Needless to say, the other was anxious and worried. Hei Yao could only vaguely feel that He Mo's soul was no longer in this plane, but he had no idea where it had gone.
In order to find the specific location of He Mo, Hei Yao snatched all the treasures from all the sects and used them all, which aroused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Fortunately, he returned them after using them, otherwise he would have ended up being besieged by the sects.
Fortunately, after gathering all the resources in the world of cultivation, Hei Yao finally determined the location of He Mo, and spent countless resources to successfully cross the plane.
He Mo naturally understood how difficult it was to travel across planes. He felt both moved and regretful. This place was not like the plane of cultivation. There were too few resources available for cultivation. The amount of resources needed for Obsidian to advance from the growth stage to the mature stage was enormous. Even if the entire planet was hollowed out, it would not be able to support him.
And it is basically impossible to return to the world of cultivation.
Just as he was thinking about it, the boy opposite him suddenly got furious, with a look of accusation and anger on his face: "You actually found another beast behind my back!"
Oh no! He Mo was startled. How could he forget how jealous this guy was? In the past, in the Beast Taming Sect, the spirit beasts would come to him only when Hei Yao was not around, otherwise a big battle would be inevitable. Of course, there were also many spirit beasts that were very powerful and were not afraid of Hei Yao at all. They would openly ask him to touch and hug them, and to eat and drink for them. Every time, Hei Yao would be depressed for a while, secretly practicing hard, and swearing with gritted teeth that he would throw away all these spirit beasts that took advantage of him.
Obsidian's murderous gaze was already fixed on the unconscious little golden lion. Even in its sleep, the little golden lion couldn't help but shiver. He Mo quickly stroked its fur: "Obsidian is my favorite spirit beast."
Hei Yao angrily turned his face away and glared at the fawning young man in front of him. After a while, he muttered, "Really?"
"Really, really." He Mo nodded hurriedly and tried to calm the guy down.
"I don't believe it. We've only been separated for a few years and you've found another beast." Hei Yao turned his face away, his tone sour and aggrieved. He had gone through so much trouble to cross the dimension to find him, but he didn't expect that this guy already had another beast. Had he already forgotten about him, Hei Yao?
"I've never forgotten Hei Yao." He Mo stroked the boy's frizzy head and said gently, "I remember Hei Yao loved eating roasted fairy cranes and drinking milk. He always told me that he wanted to raise a flock of fairy cranes and roast one every day..."
Hei Yao pouted in grievance, his eyes filled with anger and sadness. "Ever since you left the cultivation world, I haven't had enough to eat. Their cooking skills are so poor. I went to the human world to find the chef who is said to make the best roast chicken, but it still tasted terrible."
So, you came all the way across dimensions to find someone just for a bite to eat?!
Hei Yao stared at the golden animal on the ground and looked at it critically. Hmm, it was furry and soft, not as handsome and majestic as him, and its strength was pitifully weak. It was still a newborn cub. It couldn't bear it and fell into a coma after absorbing only a little bit of his energy. It was really too weak. Compared to him, Hei Yao was still smart, handsome and powerful.
How could his contractor Hei Yao be interested in such a weak beast? Once he Hei Yao arrives, all the beasts will have to stand aside.
Raising his eyebrows proudly, Hei Yao concealed his inner joy. Xiao Mo liked him the most. Hei Yao thought with a little joy that in this world, those bad guys would not come to snatch Xiao Mo from him.
However, there was still one thing that needed to be resolved. Hei Yao straightened his face and said, "Xiao Mo, stay away from me. The rules of this plane have noticed me. My energy far exceeds that of this world, and the rules are always following me."
After he said this, a large cloud of disaster, flashing with dark purple lightning dragons, floated over.
"Obsidian, you suppressed your energy to the infancy stage. Now that you are in the growth stage, your energy far exceeds that of this world." He Mo looked at the calamity clouds in the sky and said slowly. Obsidian belongs to the world of cultivation. The level of the world of cultivation is much higher than that of this world. Once he appears here, the rules of this world will notice the unstable factor of Obsidian. In order to maintain this plane, the rules of this plane will definitely find ways to get rid of Obsidian.
"What are you afraid of?" Hei Yao stared at Jie Yun, looking eager to try. Since he entered the growth period, he had fewer opponents in the world of cultivation. The remaining ones were all old-fashioned spirit beasts with a long history, and they simply disdained to compete with him. Since the rules of this plane wanted to destroy him, then come on. He also wanted to know how powerful the strongest force in this plane was.
"Obsidian!" He Mo shouted harshly, staring at the unruly young man sternly. Even though he had entered the growth period, the rule energy of a plane was far beyond his ability to overcome.
"If you don't want to fight, then don't fight." Hei Yao turned his face away and muttered reluctantly, the sharp aura on his body slowly subsiding.
As Obsidian's momentum declined, the color of the calamity clouds in the sky became lighter and lighter, floating slowly and hesitantly. A dark purple electric dragon shuttled through the dark clouds, occasionally poking its head out and pointing at another powerful source of energy on the ground.
"Continue to suppress it." He Mo stared at the robbery cloud. Although the robbery cloud was not as oppressive as at the beginning, it was actually still staring at the obsidian. As long as the obsidian made any movement, it would release the energy condensed in it.
"Xiao Mo~." Hei Yao stared awkwardly with his eyes that looked like black grapes, blinking coquettishly. If he continued to suppress it, he would become a child again. It took him hundreds of years to grow to the adult stage and become a teenager. He didn't want to become a child again.
"Okay, I've seen you as a child for hundreds of years. Be good and avoid the calamity clouds first." Although this guy has entered the growth period, his temperament has not changed at all. He is still like a child, spoiled and awkward.
Hei Yao was a little discouraged. He had finally reached the growth stage, but he still had to suppress his energy and return to his childhood. He looked stupid and ugly in his childhood, which really damaged his reputation.
However, Hei Yao still suppressed his energy and turned back into his childhood. The arrogant young man instantly turned into a pitch-black crow. The only difference from a crow was that he had feathers similar to auspicious clouds on his head, which made him look more noble and mysterious. Hei Yao spread his wings and stood on the young man's shoulders, as always.
After Obsidian suppressed the energy to its infancy, the calamity clouds above his head stopped, and the electric dragon swam around as if looking for a target. After searching for a long time without success, the dark purple electric dragon gathered the energy into the clouds. Then, the calamity clouds slowly dissipated in the air, and the morning sun finally shone down.
After solving Hei Yao's problem, He Mo felt relieved and picked up the sleeping little golden lion. He Mo said, "Hei Yao, make this little guy smaller." The little golden lion was too big, and it would attract too much attention if he held it like this.
"Xiao Mo, you can't use magic anymore?" Obsidian asked, flapping his wings.
He Mo shook his head: "The humans in this world don't have spiritual roots in their bodies." Without spiritual roots, one cannot practice, and without practice, one naturally cannot use magic.
"I brought your body from the cultivation world." Hei Yao lowered his head and looked for it. When he left the cultivation world and broke through the plane channel, he brought He Mo's body with him.
He Mo paused slightly when he saw the flesh body in the world of cultivation, and then refused: "Hei Yao, don't look for it anymore, I won't use that flesh body again."
"Why?" Hei Yao was puzzled. Xiao Mo had worked so hard to cultivate, wouldn't it be a shame to just give up his powerful body like that?!
He Mo gave a wry smile and sighed, "Can't you see that this body is my original one?" While the bodies of the cultivation world were incredibly powerful, they weren't his. He'd returned to this world from the cultivation world because his soul and body didn't mesh. While his current body was relatively weak, it was still his original body. In this body, he felt as if he had truly returned to the mindset of a young man in his twenties. Only then could a life filled with so much meaning be had.
Hei Yao didn't say anything and silently closed the storage space. This was Xiao Mo's choice...
Halfway through the journey, He Mo suddenly remembered, oh, Zhong Qing...
He Mo was about to turn on the light brain, but his light brain actually lit up a second earlier, and Zhong Qing's face appeared on the virtual screen. He looked a little tired, with a lot of dust on his face, and behind him was a rocky and bare ground.
Seeing that He Mo was safe and sound, Zhong Qing was obviously relieved. Fortunately, Xiao Mo was okay. He was really afraid that when he was trapped here, the dark forces would attack Xiao Mo.
"What happened to you last night? I can't get through to your optical computer."
"I'm trapped." Zhong Qing said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the hidden power can control other people's behavior. Xiao Mo, you must be careful. Don't take it lightly even if it's someone you know well."
"Control other people's behavior." He Mo repeated these words, and suddenly realized something. Could it be that Qiu Jing was controlled by someone and that's why he attacked him? If so, how did they control him? Qiu Jing stayed in the medical team all day and never went out. If he was really controlled by someone, it meant that there was indeed a traitor in the Fifth Legion.
"Zhong Qing, I suspect Qiu Jing attacked me because she was controlled." He Mo exhaled slowly, thinking back to every detail of Qiu Jing's past. She was a very simple girl with an extraordinary passion for medicine and exotic animals. There was nothing strange in their daily interactions. The only strange thing was that Qiu Jing was a little abnormal on the day he was knocked unconscious. At that time, he thought she was sick and that was why she was a little different from before. Now that he thinks about it, there are many suspicious things. Qiu Jing said that her cooking was not tasty, but the food that day was delicious, and the tone of her voice was different from usual.
After a few brief words, He Mo hung up the phone with a deep look in his eyes. He knew that only by returning to the Fifth Legion first could he find out who was hiding in the Fifth Legion. Zhong Qing told him not to return to the Fifth Legion first, but he didn't want to just sit there and wait.
"Who is this person?" Obsidian asked with some vigilance. The look in the eyes of the human who just appeared was so familiar.
"You guy, don't let your imagination run wild. He is the guardian of this country and a man who has given everything for peace. You will know it later." Looking at Hei Yao's jealous look, He Mo was a little amused. Why did he always have the illusion that he was caught cheating?
It seems that this person has a high status in Xiao Mo's heart. Xiao Mo actually praises him so much. Hei Yao is secretly on guard and cannot let him deceive Xiao Mo.
With the power of Obsidian, He Mo's body is comparable to that of a cultivator. Although he cannot use magic, his physical strength is even comparable to the top beasts here. Without even breaking a sweat, He Mo walked out of the beast forest.
There are large and small supply stations on the outskirts of the Monster Forest. Hunters who go to adventure in the Monster Forest will enter the Monster Forest in the early morning and come out when it gets dark. The nights in the Monster Forest are too terrifying. Anyone who dares to spend the night in it must have strong superpowers and powerful strength. Most monster hunters have contracts with ordinary monsters, so letting them spend the night in the forest is basically like having one foot in a coffin.
At this time, the supply station was bustling with people. It was a lively time. All kinds of exotic beasts were running around, buying and selling supplies, exchanging information, as if they formed two different worlds with the silent exotic beast forest.
He Mo originally wanted to go around here, but unexpectedly, a surprised voice came from behind him: "Brother."
He Mo turned around and saw a young man standing not far away. Next to him was a majestic silver wolf. The silver wolf had fluffy and clean fur, and it was obvious that it was regularly cared for and well maintained.
"Xiaotian, why are you here?" He Mo didn't expect to meet the boy and the silver wolf here. They should be on Mulan Star.
This young man was the one who formed a pact with the Silver Wolf during the battle of Shuiyang City. He released the strange beasts from the strange beast shelter. It was the appearance of this group of strange beasts during the battle that prevented Shuiyang City from suffering such heavy casualties.
The silver wolf was obviously very happy to see He Mo, and ran towards him happily. But before he got close, his front legs went limp due to the pressure.
The silver wolf whimpered, wagged its tail and stepped aside, looking with fear and caution at the pitch-black creature standing on the good man's shoulder. Well, the silver wolf couldn't help showing a hint of disgust at the first sight. It was so ugly. The silver wolf wagged its tail complacently. Only a good man would not be disgusted by such an ugly creature.
Obsidian understood the disdain in Silver Wolf's eyes, and bared his teeth, wanting to teach this inferior creature a lesson. It actually dared to look down on him, Obsidian, and flapped his wings, wanting to fly away.
He Mo quickly grasped Hei Yao and held him in his arms. It took him a long time to comfort him, thus avoiding a brutal massacre.
The silver wolf didn't know that it had escaped danger. It wagged its tail and immersed itself in its own beautiful appearance.
The boy named Xiaotian looked at the strange beast in He Mo's arms with curiosity. In fact, this strange beast was very beautiful and must be the most beautiful one among all the crows.
"Brother Xiao Mo, you know, ever since I formed a bond with Lord Silver Wolf, I've gone to live with its former owner. His family has been very kind to me and my sister, so my sister and I adopted them as our godparents. Ever since the Silver Wolf's previous owner died, they've had a very difficult time." Xiao Tian watched Brother Xiao Mo comfort the crow beast as he recounted his experiences over the past few years. "Then I was admitted to the Central Star Military Academy. I was worried about them, so we decided to move our family to Central Star. Thanks to Lord Silver Wolf, we've been able to live quite well."
"What about the other exotic beasts? How are they doing after coming out of the exotic beast shelter? Are you still in touch with them?" After coaxing Hei Yao, He Mo thought of what happened on Mulan Star before, and felt a little emotional for a moment.
Xiaotian said sweetly, "They've all returned to their original owners' families and are doing well. I was still in touch with them on Mulan Star, but we've had less contact since we came to Central Star."
When the masters of the exotic beasts passed away, the emotional connection between them and their masters suddenly broke down. Coupled with the contractual relationship, it would cause huge psychological trauma to the exotic beasts. At that time, they stayed in the exotic beast shelter in a daze and had completely lost the desire to live. If it were not for their masters' final instructions, the exotic beasts might have followed their masters and left this world long ago.
After his treatment, the psychological trauma of the strange beasts gradually improved, but the grief over the death of their master still exists. They are very resistant to forming a contract again. Even if they like you, they will only make a temporary contract. The kind of lifelong contract that strange beasts will only give to their first master, the one who accompanied them to break out of the shell, and accompanied them to grow and laugh.
For these strange beasts that have regained consciousness, the Federation can give them a lot of freedom. They only need to hang a positioning system to move freely. After these strange beasts regain consciousness, they will almost all return to their original owner's family to help their deceased owner take care of his relatives.
It can be said that as long as you make a contract with a strange beast, you will never worry about it betraying you, because strange beasts are the most loyal creatures in this world.
"Are you and Silver Wolf planning to go to the Forest of Exotic Beasts?" He Mo guessed when he saw Xiaotian and Silver Wolf appear here.
"Yeah." Xiaotian nodded heavily, a big smile on his face. "Master Silver Wolf is really amazing. I just follow him and pick up things. I can make a good income by selling them."
At this time, the powerful silver wolf stood hesitantly at a certain distance from He Mo, with a hint of hesitation in its human eyes. It wanted to get closer and rub against the good guy, but the ugly guy was very powerful and it really couldn't beat him.
"Okay, you should pay attention to your safety. The silver wolves are really strong. As long as you don't go deep into the exotic beast forest, you will be safe." He Mo patted the boy's shoulder. Knowing that the exotic beasts were doing well, he felt relieved.
"Woo woo." The silver wolf whimpered in agreement and took a cautious step closer tentatively. Eh, it seemed to be okay. Should he take a few more steps forward? The silver wolf hesitated and stood there, struggling.
He Mo laughed. Hei Yao successfully scared the Silver Wolf. It was good this way, so that these enthusiastic exotic beasts wouldn't always pounce on him and wash his face.
After saying goodbye to Xiaotian and Silver Wolf, He Mo entered the hovercraft. Hei Yao looked at these magical things curiously. Although there were various means of transportation in the world of cultivation, it was unheard of that ordinary humans could reach such a speed. Although it was much slower than the flying swords of cultivators and flying spirit beasts, it was already a very magical thing.
The Fifth Legion was on the other side of the Monster Forest, and it took half a day to get there by hovercraft.
Hei Yao stood on He Mo's shoulder, feeling a little sleepy. There were only a few people in the hovercraft. When He Mo got off the hovercraft, he saw a small spaceship with the Fifth Legion logo on it guarding it.
Before getting on the hovercraft, He Mo had already contacted Captain Wang of the medical team. Captain Wang had been very worried about his condition during this period and had looked for him several times on the optical computer. Unfortunately, He Mo was on AD Star at the time and could not use the optical computer. Seeing He Mo return safely, Captain Wang was relieved and said that he would send a car to pick him up soon. So when He Mo arrived at the agreed location, a car sent by the Fifth Legion Medical Team was already waiting there.
The person driving the small spaceship was a young man. Although he looked young, he had actually been in the Fifth Legion Medical Team for many years and was Captain Wang's assistant.
"Dr. He, right?" Assistant Xiao Ji smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "Captain Wang sent me to pick you up."
"Thank you for your help." The small spaceship rose steadily and flew quickly towards the Fifth Legion.
