Chapter 386: Monster

“This place is really strange…”

The Desolate Demon Lord muttered as he headed towards the center of the settlement.

Looking at the surrounding stone houses, the Desolate Demon Lord could not help but touch them. He even broke off a piece to examine closely—but naturally, he could not figure out anything.

However, he was certain that normal wood would not undergo petrification—it would only decay or turn into fossil fuels under high-pressure conditions.

However, after some thought, the Desolate Demon Lord no longer delved into these mysteries that he could not understand.

He simply assumed that the rules of this place were different from the outside world.

Casually strolling, the Desolate Demon Lord arrived at the center of the settlement.

At this place stood the largest stone house in the settlement.

Violently smashing open the door of the stone house, amidst the flying dust, the Desolate Demon Lord entered the house.

The what first caught the Desolate Demon Lord’s eyes scared the heck out of him.

“What is this thing!?”

His voice even reached the Boshi Tower in his hand, waking Lu Ming up, who was cultivating.

“What’s going on?”

The Desolate Demon Lord did not respond to Lu Ming’s question immediately, but just stared ahead with a burning gaze.

In front of him, he saw a colossal creature sitting in the center of the room.

It was four meters tall, had a long and barbed tail, a strong and muscular body, and three heads on its thick and short neck.

The facial features of the three heads were somewhat dignified, fitting the mainstream aesthetics of the Black Mist Zone—they looked somewhat human.

But strangely, there was a smooth, mirror-like shine.

At this moment, the six eyes of the three-headed monster were tightly closed, and even the Desolate Demon Lord’s exclamation did not wake it.

The Desolate Demon Lord promptly fell silent, but upon closer inspection, he found that the monster’s body remained motionless, like a sculpture.

Frowning slightly, the Desolate Demon Lord took a step forward.

He reached out to touch the three-headed monster’s body and felt a familiar, cool touch.

“It’s a rock.”

After muttering this, the Desolate Demon Lord could not help but say, “Who carved such a lifelike thing for no reason? Gave me a scare…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange light suddenly flashed.

The Desolate Demon Lord was stunned.

His plump body involuntarily took two steps back, and as he looked up slightly, the Desolate Demon Lord saw the six eyes flickering with red light.

The stone-like skin instantly flashed with light.

This creature, initially considered a sculpture, quickly transformed from stone to flesh and blood.

The red light in its six eyes became thicker and thicker until the light shot out in an instant, and struck Desolate’s chest!

There was a “Buzz!”

The demonic qi automatically bloomed to block the red light, but there was also a wisp of gray, spreading along the protective demonic qi of the Desolate Demon Lord, towards the interior.

Dust flew everywhere the gray passed.

It turned out that the invisible and formless protective demonic qi on the Desolate Demon Lord’s body had been petrified by the red light, turning into dust.

Using more demonic qi to disperse the red light, the Desolate Demon Lord looked with joy rather than surprise, at the three-headed monster that had begun to breathe.

“Good fellow, I’ve finally caught one alive!”

The battle in the central stone house was short and not intense.

The Desolate Demon Lord was a legitimate guardian deity, even though his prestige had now declined, it was not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could contend with.

The demonic qi spread and turned into ropes, binding the three-headed monster. During its struggle, the Desolate Demon Lord saw through this monster’s abilities.

“Its physical strength is not bad, equivalent to about one blood pattern.”

“It can shoot petrification rays from its eyes, powerful, not recommended to resist it with flesh and blood.”

“It has the ability to petrify itself, showing strong resistance to source power and spiritual qi after petrification. Ordinary divine beings can’t instantly kill the petrified three-headed monster.”

“However, in the petrified state, this thing can’t move and can only shoot petrification rays. Once it transforms into a body of flesh and blood, it’s no different from a normal creature in the source power system and can be crushed violently with source power and spiritual qi.”

The most noteworthy thing was that this thing did not have source power on its body. It was just a pure flesh and blood monster—it did not belong to an extraordinary being with source power, just an extremely powerful physical monster.

“And it has no intelligence, and can’t communicate.”

From the blood-red eyes of the three-headed monster, the Desolate Demon Lord did not see any signs of intelligence—so he could be sure that it was not a matter of language barrier. It was simply a monster without intelligence, just a killing machine.

“Collect samples.”

Lu Ming’s voice came from the Boshi Tower and the Desolate Demon Lord obediently complied.

Soon, the three-headed monster was sent to the biological research laboratory of Boshi Tower.

The three-headed monster’s vitality was very strong. Even though it was tortured by the Desolate Demon Lord, it was still struggling when it arrived at the laboratory and was full of energy.

The experimental sample was handed over to Jiu Han—being the head of the Three Elements Academy, Jiu Han had a wide range of knowledge, excelling not only in strength and array formations but also in biology.

His assistants were naturally the teachers and students of the Biology Department of the Three Elements Academy.

After handing over the items, the Desolate Demon Lord no longer paid attention.

Holding the Boshi Tower, he continued to stroll around until he reunited with Bai Zhe about half an hour later.

The two of them summarized the information, and apart from the

three-headed monster encountered by the Desolate Demon Lord, there were no other discoveries. They decided to leave the settlement and continue heading deeper towards the unexplored areas.

“But the good news is, from this settlement, it can be seen that there are intelligent life forms in the No Man’s Land.”

The name given to this place by Lu Ming was also accepted and used by the Desolate Demon Lord.

As the Desolate Demon Lord was muttering to himself, Bai Zhe continued, “It’s also possible that there was once, but it’s gone now.”

“And there might be unknown dangers in this place.”

The Desolate Demon Lord raised his eyebrows, “If the dangers you’re talking about refer to creatures like the three-headed monster just now, then 1 don’t know how to talk to you.”

The Desolate Demon Lord did not care about the three-headed monster at all.

There was no other reason, it was too weak.

Compared to the Desolate Demon Lord, the strength of the three-headed monster was like dust. This was a huge gap that could not be filled even with an immense quantity.

Bai Zhe, however, cautioned, “Be careful, better safe than sorry.”

As they spoke, the two of them walked further and further away.

But in the village behind them, in the room where the three-headed monster had just been caught.

The ground suddenly squirmed, and then, two blurry shadows crawled out of the ground and quickly stood at the spot where the three-headed monster had just been captured.

After examining the traces in the room, one of the black shadows spoke, “They’re outsiders, two of them. Their strength levels are at the transitional stage.”

The other black shadow replied, “Yes.”

“How did they get in? Swim across the Dead Sea? Pass through the nest?”

“It seems to be the only way, but the difficulty is quite high…”

With that said, the two black shadows fell silent.

A moment later, one of the black shadows said, “Don’t bother about how they got in. We only need to know that any outsiders entering this place must die; that’s enough.”

“Report this matter, and mobilize the hunters to deal with these outsiders.”

The other black shadow said in a low voice, “Understood.”

Faint and obscure waves emanated from the black shadow’s body and it was unclear where it was transmitted.

After doing all of this, the black shadow said, “I have to tell the higher-ups in detail about this… Eternity did not do his job well. Not only did he let others prematurely detonate the Dead Sea, but he also let some small insects come to the Source Essence level.”

“If Eternity comes back to report on his work the next time, the higher-ups will strip him of his responsibilities. If they appoint someone like us, we can take a break and enjoy some time up there.”

The tone of the black shadow was filled with longing, but the other black shadow sneered.

“Stop dreaming. That guy Eternity has long rebelled. It’s still unknown if he will come back to report on his work.”

“Don’t worry about him. Deal with the matters at hand. The True Core Layer is almost unable to hold on. If we can take down the True Core Layer…”

The voice gradually lowered. The two black shadows became illusory, and soon they disappeared without a trace..
