An expedition fleet cruised through the secondary dimensions, pa.s.sing through s.p.a.ce cracks.
The strange scenery outside the window flashed past Harrisonâs eyes one after another. He focused on 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 did their jobs.
The aide-de-camp stood at the side, pointed at the star map, and said softly, âFollowing this route, we will cut into the area controlled by the World Tree. Although His Excellency Black Star killed the World Treeâs Blessed Race and caused a gap in their internal defenses, it is still very dangerous for us to go deeper.â
âI know, but only by going deep into the enemyâs territory will we be able to find the World Treeâs main body. Without risking our lives, how can we possibly find anything?â Harrison replied without hesitation.
The aide-de-camp pursed his lips and could not help but say, âSir, why are you working so hard? With your relations.h.i.+p with His Excellency Black StarâŚâ
âAlright, donât say such things anymore. You donât have to persuade me.â Harrison did not even look up.
The aide-de-camp smiled bitterly.
Do you think I care about you? The main thing is that if you shrink back, we can use your relations.h.i.+p to go back and restâŚ
The aide-de-camp said with resignation, âI think weâll give free kills.â
âIf you have the time to worry, you might as well pray that weâre safe and sound,â Harrison replied casually. âIf praying is useful, whatâs the point of having an army?â The aide-de-camp muttered softly.
Harrison glanced at him and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and looked out of the window.
So
âSomethingâs wrongâŚâ âWhatâs wrong?â The aide-de-camp was curious.
âI feel uneasy,â Harrison whispered.
ââŚQuick! Weapon charge, prepare for battle!â
The aide-de-camp and the rest of the crew panicked. They immediately yelled and ordered the fleet to enter combat mode.
They had no choice but to take it seriously. Last time, when Harrison was feeling uneasy, the expeditionary army outpost was gone. In their eyes, Harrison was a jinx. If he had any headache or fever, it meant that they were going to suffer together. Harrison looked at the radar screen vigilantly, but there was no abnormal reaction. The uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared, and his brows relaxed.
âCould it be an illusionâŚâ
Harrison was a little confused, but he shook his head. Since he did not discover anything, he was not sure if his senses had gone wrong.
âSir, donât scare us!â
Hearing this, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, their faces filled with helplessness. They thought it was his bad taste.
The expedition fleet quickly disappeared along the s.p.a.ce crack. After they left, a translucent figure appeared in this secondary dimension. It was Hayleen.
âThe exploration team of the three Universal CivilizationsâŚâ
Hayleen looked in the direction where the fleet disappeared. Her expression changed a few times, but she did not attack in the end.
During this time, she had been searching for suitable secondary dimensions to add the snake-killing agent. Occasionally, she would meet the troops of the three Universal Civilizations.
As the World Tree currently did not need to steal intelligence, she did not make a move. After all, there were other World Tree Blessed Races to deal with these people, and 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 routes of some fleets, together with the mother treeâs reaction to the Pivotal Snake, Hayleen had screened out areas that might be frequented by the Pivotal Snake during this period, as well as some secondary dimensions that might be chosen by the Pivotal Snake as food. All of them were injected with the snake-killing agents. This time was no exception. Hayleen silently activated her s.p.a.ce magic, found the traces of Harrisonâs fleet, and flew toward their direction. Very soon, she arrived at a strange, rocky secondary dimension. The violent radiation dust storm turned into tornadoes, and there was no sign of life in the entire dimension. âThis place isnât bad.â
Hayleen nodded. As far as she knew, this type of secondary dimension that did not give birth to life but had different substances was the favorite food for the Pivotal Snake. The pure energy type secondary dimension was not liked by it. Maybe it was because of the texture, after all, those with substances were very crispy. She popped out the snake-killing agent and watched it integrate into the secondary dimension. Only then did she use a teleportation spell to leave and find her next target.
Half a month later.
The Realmless King led the Pivotal Snake through the secondary dimension world. The dense mechanical army protected them like a black cloud.
As they pa.s.sed 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 go 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 appet.i.te was limited, and it needed time to digest after eating. As long as it was not extremely hungry, the Pivotal Snake would only start to eat when it met a secondary dimension that suited its taste. As the saying went, it was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It did not need to find its own food, so its taste was getting more and more picky.
After a while, they arrived at a strange, rocky secondary dimension. The Pivotal Snake immediately started twisting and turning. It took a fancy to this food, and without caring about the others, it started to feast on it. The white fog on its body spread out, and everywhere it pa.s.sed, the matter was ground and swallowed.
Seeing this, the Realmless King and the mechanical army retreated to the side and did not disturb the Pivotal Snakeâs meal.
Seeing that the Pivotal Snake was eating happily, the Realmless King sighed in his heart.
âItâs getting more and more troublesome.â
The Realmless King yielded to Han Xiaoâs tyrannical power and unwillingly became the stockman of the Pivotal Snake. Even though his lifespan was almost infinite, he felt like his life had given him a heavy blow when he thought about the fact that he would still have to rear the Pivotal Snake for decades. His b*lls hurt so bad⌠although he did not have this part.
The most terrifying thing was that Black Star still had three embryos. When all of them were hatched, wouldnât it be four times the happiness for this stockman?
Furthermore, Black Star would definitely force them to give birth to little snakes. One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things; there would be unlimited offspringâŚ
d.a.m.n it! When will these days end?!
The Realmless King felt as if he could see his own bitter future, and he shuddered.
Just as he was feeling sad for his fate, the Pivotal Snake that was eating suddenly stopped and twisted violently, collapsing mountains one after another. It looked in extreme pain as if someone had suddenly stuffed a spoon of mustard into its mouth while eating
âWhatâs going on?â
The Realmless King was shocked, and he hurriedly came forward to control the Pivotal Snake. The mechanical troops also quickly surrounded it.
However, the Pivotal Snake that was restrained 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, âSomethingâs not right. The life force of the Pivotal Snake is rapidly withering, and some unknown compound has already spread in its body. It seems to be a genetic toxin specifically targeted at it, and it has already caused irreversible damage. The damage is still increasing, so it should have been plotted against!â
âThere are enemies nearby?â The Realmless King was shocked. He immediately released all his senses, but he did not discover anything.
âOur radar canât find him either. Iâve already summoned the Lord. Heâll be here soon.â
The moment Psionic Prime finished speaking, a light appeared beside him. It was Han Xiao.
âWhatâs going on?â
Han Xiao immediately noticed the abnormal situation of the Pivotal Snake. His expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he poked the Pivotal Snake. The combat information immediately popped up on the interface.
This time, Psionic Prime and the other Mechanical Oracles walked up to him and said with guilt, âWe are sorry, we fell into the enemyâs trap unknowingly. This is our negligence. Please punish usâŚâ
âAlright, take your leave.â Han Xiao did not have the time to care about them. He waved his hands and looked at the interface.
At this time, in the status bar of the Pivotal Snake, there was a negative status of (Heavy Poisoning). It was introduced as the genetic toxin specially concocted by the World Tree, and it was only targeted at the Pivotal Snake Race. Once it entered the body, it would cause the gene sequence to shatter. It was completely irreversible, causing the Pivotal Snakeâs health to decrease at a rate of 1.5% per second, and its maximum health decreased at a rate of 0.5% per second. He released his senses and scanned the area, but he did not sense the presence of any outsiders. He asked about the situation just now and roughly guessed how the Pivotal Snake was affected.
ââd.a.m.n, they tampered with the meal and happened to pick the correct target. What kind of luck was thisâŚâ
Han Xiaoâs eyes twitched.
With so many secondary dimensions and the random selection of food by the Pivotal Snake, it just had to hit the jackpot. What kind of probability was this?
Could it be that so many mascots could not slightly dilute my Heavenly Execution Grade luck?
Han Xiao thought to himself. Seeing how much health the Pivotal Snake had lost, he took out a tube of Aurora Potion and injected it into the Pivotal Snakeâs body. The effect was immediate, and its health immediately recovered.
However, the effect of being poisoned did not weaken. It still hung on its stats window. Although its health bar was full, the upper limit was still falling. Seeing this, Han Xiao injected a few more shots of Aurora Potion into the Pivotal Snake. The HP regeneration was the same, but it could not get rid of the poisoned status.
âThis poison is quite powerfulâŚâ Han Xiaoâs eyes narrowed. If he was given some time, he would be able to try and crack it. However, with the speed of losing HP in this poison state, it only needed 200 seconds to clear the upper limit of the Pivotal Snakeâs health. This amount of time was not enough.
âAlright, letâs experiment with my previous idea.â
Han Xiao activated (Life TransformationVirtual] on the suffering Pivotal Snake.
Now that he had three embryos in his hands, with the cost of trial and error, he originally wanted to experiment on the newborn baby. He did not expect this Pivotal Snake to have an accident, so he might as well try this idea on it.
Streams of data flashed across the body of the Pivotal Snake, and it slowly began to turn incorporeal. Its pain also began to decrease rapidly. The World Treeâs toxin targeted the biological genes. At this moment, the life form of the Pivotal Snake began to change, and it gradually became immune to the toxin effect.
During this process, because the body of the Pivotal Snake was turning incorporeal, the toxins in its body automatically came out and condensed into a drop of black-green liquid that floated in midair.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Han Xiao raised his hand to collect this drop of poison. He narrowed his eyes and activated [Bold Explorer) without hesitation.
âAlthough Iâm not afraid of such methods, since you dared to send people here to do something, I canât let you escape so easily.â
