An expedition fleet was cruising in the secondary dimension world, passing through spatial rifts one after another.
The bizarre scenery outside the window flashed past Harrison's eyes one by one. He stared at the star map, and the coordinates of the secondary dimensions lit up one after another, drawing the trajectory of the fleet. Behind him, the other crew members carried out their duties.
The adjutant stood at the side, pointed at the star map, and said softly, "Following this route, we will cut into the area controlled by the World Tree. Although His Excellency Black Star killed the Blessed Race of the World Tree and caused a gap in their internal defenses, it's still very dangerous for us to go deep."
"I know, but only by going deep into the enemy's territory can we find the main body of the World Tree. How can we gain anything without risking our lives?" Harrison replied without hesitation.
The adjutant pursed his lips and could not help but say, "Sir, why do you have to work so hard? With your relationship with His Excellency Black Star …"
"Alright, don't say such things anymore. You don't have to persuade me."
Harrison did not even raise his head.
The adjutant smiled bitterly.
Do you think I care about you? The main thing is that if you shrink back, we can take advantage of your relationship and go back to rest …
The adjutant said helplessly, "I think we'll give it to you for nothing."
"If you have the time to worry, you might as well pray that we'll be safe," Harrison replied casually.
"If praying is useful, what's the point of having an army?"
The adjutant mumbled softly.
Harrison glanced at him and was about to say something when his heart suddenly tightened. He frowned and looked out of the window.
"Something's wrong …"
"What's wrong?" The adjutant was curious.
"I'm a little uneasy," Harrison said softly.
"… Quick! Charge the weapons and prepare for battle! "
The adjutant and the other crew members panicked and immediately shouted for the fleet to enter battle mode.
They had no choice but to take this seriously. Last time, Harrison had been uneasy, and the expeditionary army's outpost had been destroyed. In their eyes, Harrison was a jinx. Whenever he had a headache or fever, it meant that they were going to suffer together.
Harrison looked at the radar screen warily, but there was no abnormal reaction. The uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided, and his brows relaxed.
"Could it be an illusion …"
Harrison was a little confused.
Shook his head?
Since he did not discover anything, he was not sure if his senses were wrong.
"Sir?
Don't scare us! "
Hearing this?
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She thought that it was just his bad taste.
The expedition fleet quickly disappeared along the spatial rift. And after they left?
A translucent figure appeared in this secondary dimension?
It was Hayleen.
"The exploration team of the three Universal Civilizations …"
Hayleen looked in the direction where the fleet had disappeared. Her expression changed several times, but in the end, she did not make a move.
During this time, she had been looking for suitable secondary dimensions to add snake-killing agents. Occasionally, she would encounter the three Universal Civilizations' troops.
Because the World Tree currently has no need to steal information?
She didn't make a move?
In any case, there were other World Tree Blessed Races dealing with these people. She did not want to alert them and expose herself. Her mission was more important.
However, the expeditionary army was also useful to her. According to the sailing routes of some fleets, coupled with the mother tree's sensing of the Pivotal Snake?
During this period of time, Hayleen had screened out some areas that might be frequented by the Pivotal Snake, as well as some secondary dimensions that had a chance of being chosen as food by the Pivotal Snake?
All of them had been spiked with snake-killing agents.
This time was no exception. Hayleen silently cast a spatial spell.
Find the traces of Harrison's fleet and fly back to where they came from?
Soon, they arrived at a secondary dimension with jagged rocks?
The violent radiation dust storm turned into tornadoes that connected the sky and the earth?
There were no signs of life in the entire dimension.
"This place is not bad."
Hayleen nodded. As far as she knew, this kind of secondary dimension that did not give birth to life but had different substances was the food that the Pivotal Snake preferred. On the other hand, pure energy type secondary dimensions were not liked. Perhaps it was because of the texture. After all, there were substances that were crunchy.
She flicked out the snake-killing agent and watched it merge into the secondary dimension. Only then did she use a teleportation spell to leave and find the next target.
…
Half a month later.
The Realmless King brought the Pivotal Snake through the secondary dimension world. The dense mechanical army protected them like a black cloud.
When they passed by the secondary dimensions, everyone would stop for a while to observe the reaction of the Pivotal Snake. If the Pivotal Snake did not start eating, they would continue to the next place.
Although all secondary dimensions were food, the Pivotal Snake would not stuff all of them into its mouth. After all, its appetite was limited, and it needed time to digest after eating. If it ate too much, it would be full.
As long as it was not extremely hungry, the Pivotal Snake would only start eating when it encountered secondary dimensions that suited its taste. As the saying went, it was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It did not need to find its own food, so its taste was becoming more and more picky.
After a while, everyone arrived at a secondary dimension with jagged rocks. The Pivotal Snake immediately twisted and took a fancy to this food. It did not care about the others and started to eat heartily on the spot. The white mist on its body spread out, and wherever it passed, substances were ground and devoured.
Seeing this, the Realmless King and the mechanical army retreated to the side, not disturbing the Pivotal Snake's meal.
Seeing the Pivotal Snake eating happily, the Realmless King sighed in his heart.
"It's getting more and more troublesome. It's too unbearable."
The Realmless King submitted to Han Xiao's tyranny and unwillingly became the breeder of the Pivotal Snake. Even though his lifespan was almost infinite, when he thought about how his breeding career would continue for decades, he felt like life had given him a heavy hammer. His balls were so painful that they were about to split open … even though he did not have this organ.
The scariest thing was that Black Star still had three embryos. When all of them hatched, wouldn't he be four times happier as a breeder?
Furthermore, Black Star would definitely force the Pivotal Snakes to give birth to small snakes again. One would give birth to two, two would give birth to three, three would give birth to all things, and there would be endless descendants …
Damn it! When will these days end?!
The Realmless King shuddered as if he had seen his bitter future.
Just as he was feeling sad for his fate, the Pivotal Snake that was eating suddenly stopped. It twisted crazily and knocked down mountains one after another. It appeared to be in extreme pain, as if someone had suddenly stuffed a spoon of mustard into its mouth while it was eating.
"What's going on?"
The Realmless King was shocked and hurriedly came up to control the Pivotal Snake. Many mechanical troops also quickly surrounded it.
However, the Pivotal Snake that was controlled by everyone was still struggling with all its might, like a lively fish being pressed onto a chopping board.
Psionic Prime quickly scanned the vital signs of the Pivotal Snake and said coldly, "Something's wrong. The Pivotal Snake's life force is rapidly withering. Some unknown compound has already spread in its body, like a genetic toxin that is specially targeted at it. It has already caused irreversible damage, and the damage is still expanding. It should have been ambushed!"
"There's an enemy nearby?" The Realmless King was shocked. He immediately released all his senses, but he did not discover anything.
"Our radar can't find it either. I've already called the Lord. He'll be here soon."
As soon as Psionic Prime finished speaking, a light lit up beside him. It was Han Xiao teleporting over.
"What's going on?"
Han Xiao saw the abnormal situation of the Pivotal Snake at a glance. His expression changed slightly, and he injected the Pivotal Snake without hesitation. The combat information immediately popped up on the interface.
This time, Psionic Prime and the other Mechanical Oracles came up to him and said guiltily, "Sorry, we were unknowingly ambushed by the enemy. This is our negligence. Please punish us, Lord …"
"Alright, you can leave first."
Han Xiao did not have the time to bother with them. He waved his hand and looked at the interface with a frown.
At this moment, in the status bar of the Pivotal Snake, there was a negative status of [Heavily Poisoned]. The introduction was that it was a genetic toxin specially mediated by the World Tree, and it was only targeted at the Pivotal Snake Race. Once it entered the body, it would cause the chain of genetic sequences to shatter. It was completely irreversible, causing the health of the Pivotal Snake to decrease at a rate of 1.5% per second, and its upper health limit decreased at a rate of 0.5% per second.
He released his senses and scanned his surroundings, but he did not sense the existence of outsiders. He asked about the process and roughly guessed how the Pivotal Snake had fallen for it.
"Damn, he directly tampered with the food, and he really hit the jackpot. What kind of luck is this …"
The corner of Han Xiao's eyes twitched.
There were so many secondary dimensions, and the food chosen by the Pivotal Snake was random, yet it had hit the jackpot. What kind of probability was this?
Could it be that all these mascots couldn't dilute my Heavenly Execution Grade luck?
Han Xiao cursed inwardly. Seeing that the Pivotal Snake's health was dropping rapidly, he took out a tube of Aurora Injection and injected it into the Pivotal Snake's body. The effect was immediate, and its health immediately recovered.
However, the effect of the poisoned state was not weakened. It was still hanging on the attribute bar. Although its health points were full, its upper limit was still falling.
Seeing this, Han Xiao injected a few more shots of Aurora Potion into the Pivotal Snake. Its health recovery was just as fast, but it could not get rid of the poisoned state this time.
"This poison is quite powerful …"
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed.
He could try to crack it if he had some time, but with the HP loss rate of this poison state, it would only take 200 seconds to clear the upper limit of the Pivotal Snake's health. This amount of time was not enough.
"Alright, let's experiment with my previous idea."
Han Xiaoxin used [Life Transformation-Virtual] on the Pivotal Snake that was suffering.
Now that he had three embryos in his hands, he had the cost of trial and error. He had originally wanted to experiment on the newborn larva, but he did not expect an accident to happen to the Pivotal Snake, so he might as well try this idea on it.
Streams of data flashed across the Pivotal Snake's body, and it slowly began to fade. Its pain also began to decrease rapidly. The World Tree's poison targeted the genes of living creatures. At that moment, the Pivotal Snake's life form began to change, and it gradually became immune to the poison.
During this process, because the Pivotal Snake's body was fading, the poison in its body automatically seeped out, condensing into a drop of dark green liquid that floated in midair.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Han Xiao raised his hand and sucked the drop of poison. He narrowed his eyes and activated [Bold Explorer] without hesitation.
"Although I'm not afraid of such methods, since you dare to send someone here to tamper with it, I can't let you escape so easily."
