"Neurotoxin?" Vivian frowned. "Are you sure neurotoxin will work on this thing?"
"Whatever it is, we need to prepare a pot of it." Hao Ren came to the pool. The red liquid in the pool was glowing brighter and brighter. The vibrant life force made it look like liquid rubies. The "heart" that was immersed in the pool was beating more forcefully each time. "Neurotoxin, anesthetic, acid, alkali... Of course, we need to prepare everything here. Of course, we can't just add it directly. That might wake it up. Let's set up some time traps here. Once it wakes up, we'll give it a good one!"
"How come I didn't know you were so naughty before …" Vivian looked at Hao Ren in amazement, and then agreed that it was a good idea!
The vampire maiden immediately used her blood to create a magic circle around the "heart". The magic could be activated remotely to create a large area of corrosive blood mist. Although they did not know how effective the corrosion would be on a super lifeform that was hundreds of kilometers wide, it would be good if it could freeze it for a moment!
The MDT was right. This was a creature that was beyond common sense. Even its life form was not in line with the design of God. Therefore, any conventional attack would not be able to kill it. Even Hao Ren's inspector's gun would not be able to do anything to it. Against a creature that was hundreds of kilometers long, even if you put 200 detonators on it and blew it up, it would be like giving it a shot. The extreme size of this thing was its most invincible defense!
Therefore, no matter what, to get rid of this ancient monster that was about to wake up would inevitably cause a great catastrophe. The only thing they could do now was to evacuate the residents of the Beinz region immediately and prepare for the fierce battle that would follow.
However, Hao Ren had not thought of what kind of "battle" to destroy such a terrifying thing. There were no nuclear bombs in this world. Truth be told, he had every reason to doubt that nuclear bombs could kill this supernatural creature!
Vivian quickly set up a trap by the pool. It was a two-meter-wide rune array, which was as small as a sesame seed compared to the thousand-meter-wide "heart". Thinking that this "heart" was just one of the most inconspicuous circulatory organs in the Gnarled Grove, Hao Ren felt a sense of helplessness. Would it really work?
"We're done here." Vivian wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Let's go look for other 'hearts' in other caverns."
Hao Ren shook his head and threw those useless worries aside. He took out the MDT and said, "Lead the way!"
They did not waste any more time. They shuttled through the messy underground world as fast as they could. Since the MDT was there to record them, they were not afraid of getting lost. Soon, they found one cavern after another that contained the "heart". Each cavern echoed with a loud thumping sound!
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief as she set up the seventh circle. She looked at the gigantic creature in front of her. "I feel like I'm going to be the first Blood Clan member to suffer from anemia if this goes on. I've been bleeding for a long time and it's only going to leave a small scar. How did it grow so big?"
"The goddess of creation may not be as powerful as Raven 12345..." Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth. "But she's definitely more powerful than us! That's it. Let's do our best and leave it to fate. Let's go and meet up with the others. "
Everyone immediately left the cave, leaving only a small magic circle to accompany the slowly beating heart that was soaked in the pool of blood. The thumping sound came from behind them unhurriedly, as if it was an invisible mockery.
They returned to the cavern where they first fell and found only two people there: Ophra and Elson. Elson nodded to them. It seemed that although he was muddle-headed, he was not hurt. Big Beardy must have brought him out later. Ophra walked quickly to Hao Ren and asked, "Is the news true?"
It was meaningless to ask again at this time, but if she did not ask, she would inevitably feel uneasy.
"Do you think someone would joke about this?" Hao Ren smiled bitterly and spread out his hands. "Big Beardy and the bishop have gone back?"
"They used the Teleportation Stone to return to the town and inform the evacuation, leaving me here to wait for you." Ophra frowned. "The four Masters brought that message, and there's a sacred mark on it that can't be forged. I know that it's probably true … but this is really unbelievable!"
"I know it's hard for you religious people to accept," Hao Ren waved his hand. "But now is not the time to blame the missionary process for getting the Bible wrong! Let's hurry up. Your knights will be able to help as well. "
Ophra looked at Hao Ren in surprise. She felt more and more that the person in front of her could not be an ordinary mercenary. He did not seem to be talking to a marshal at all, but just talking to an ordinary person on the road. But she did not dwell on this, just nodded hard, and then took out a small shining silver gem from her arms. "Let's go directly with the teleportation stone... You may not have used this before. Stand closer."
The teleportation stone was an extremely precious thing. Even a person like the marshal could only use it in an emergency. But Hao Ren waved his hand to stop her. "Let's use our teleportation technology. It's more accurate than yours."
He still remembered that he advertised himself as a Spatial Magic Master.
Before the teleportation light lit up, Hao Ren asked casually, "By the way, did you and Bishop Gelton find the Divine Sarcophagus?"
Ophra shook her head. "No, it seems that the Divine Sarcophagus has been buried by the mud at the bottom of the pool... And according to the four masters, even if we found the Divine Sarcophagus, it would be useless. The Progenitor of Life in it should have lost its effect."
The teleportation light flashed. When Hao Ren opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a house in Leyton. According to the little female decorations around, this should be the place where Ophra lived.
The rain outside the window had stopped, but the dark clouds had not dispersed. There were still intermittent muffled thunder coming from the clouds, adding to the already terrible atmosphere.
Ophra and Hao Ren left the room. It turned out that this place was next to the knights' station. Hao Ren looked around and could see many church warriors and priests rushing on the street not far away. Some confused civilians looked at these nervous church members in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, the bell of Leyton Town suddenly rang in a hurry.
Bishop Gelton was gathering the townspeople and was ready to issue the evacuation order.
A rush of hooves came from the other end of the street. A white-robed monk who seemed to have a high position jumped down from the horse and came to Ophra. "Your Excellency Marshal, the bishop asks you to send the Royal Knights to inform the people in the villages and strongholds in the north. He is busy with other affairs and can't spare himself."
"I understand. It's an emergency. There's no need to pay attention to etiquette." Ophra took the reins from Elson and mounted the horse. She looked down at Hao Ren and said, "I'm going to summon my knights. You can go back to the guesthouse and rest for a while. I'll come to you if there's anything."
At first, Hao Ren wanted to be polite and say that he would help to maintain order and evacuate the people. But then he thought that Marshal Yi was an honest man and if he really agreed, they were not even mercenaries. How could they be of any help in such a chaotic situation? So, he did not say much and just nodded. "Be careful."
"You're a very strange mercenary. Each of you has secrets." Ophra suddenly smiled and said something inexplicable. "If we're all safe after this, I must dig out your secrets..."
After saying this, the valiant female marshal rode away, leaving Hao Ren confused. "What did she mean?"
No one answered. But suddenly, Nangong Wuyue's voice came from not far away. "Ah, you're back?"
Hao Ren turned his head and saw the siren maiden riding a horse not far away. Beside her were the knights who went with her to investigate the situation of the heretics.
"What's going on?" Nangong Wuyue dismounted and ran to Hao Ren. "The atmosphere here is so serious..."
"Let's go back and talk." Hao Ren did not publicly announce the discovery of the underground world. Instead, he led the team directly back to the guesthouse where they were temporarily resting.
