549: Chapter 426 Qualified Younger Brother 549: Chapter 426 Qualified Younger Brother Above the ground, with all the monsters around them slain, Brother Hero and Lord Bear now begin the most anticipated part—purifying the corpses.

“Your Excellences, is this what you are…?”

Watching their actions, Chang Hai had a guess but was still hesitant to be certain.

“Huff…

The abilities of alien species are incredibly tricky; resurrection, regeneration, are all very common, we must purify their origin so that we can fundamentally prevent these occurrences.”

Brother Hero was absorbing the gray spider’s corpse on the ground while explaining to the Ninth Squad nearby.

His expression was somewhat pained as he spoke these words, experiencing this kind of spiritual pain while purifying an alien species for the first time.

Luckily, the hood concealed most of his cheeks, and the mist provided some cover, making it difficult for others to see his current expression.

Now, he answered Chang Hai’s question, also to distract himself a bit and alleviate some of the pain.

“So that’s how it is, indeed, I remember Minister Hu saying that the giant vine from the Three Institutes, which was brought back originally dead, somehow mysteriously resurrected…”

Chang Hai nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what the other person said made a lot of sense.

“Oh?

Are you talking about the Emperor Vine?

That guy definitely has a strong life force and strong evolutionary ability.

It can be considered a Dominator Level creature.

What you encountered last time was just a juvenile; if it were allowed to grow…

Tsk tsk, I’m afraid that by then, only Lord Jixing might be able to eliminate it.”

Brother Hero made a casual remark, originally just intending to show off a little, but these words sounded quite different to Chang Hai who was listening nearby.

“That thing is called the Emperor Vine?

It’s a Dominator Level creature?

Just listening to the name sounds so powerful, it makes one want to take out a nuclear bomb immediately.”

His complexion changed, and his mind raced with thoughts.

“Moreover, from what this Transcendent just said, it seems that some information was revealed, there’s a name I think I’ve heard before, that is…”

“Jixing!?”

Chang Hai suddenly looked towards Brother Hero, who had just finished absorbing a corpse, his face showing a look of astonishment.

“May I ask, Your Excellency, who exactly is this Jixing you just mentioned…?”

He had now recalled that he had heard this name yesterday, while he was in the camp, presumably from Minister Hu.

Brother Hero glanced at him, his expression still maintaining the calm he tried to convey, as he absorbed another spider corpse and said:

“Lord Jixing is one of the seven Star Lords of the Star Alliance, possessing strength beyond our imagination.

Remember the Emperor Vine at the Three Institutes?

Wasn’t it still casually destroyed by Lord Jixing with a single move?”

Chang Hai’s expression froze; he couldn’t help but remember the gigantic plant over three hundred meters tall that appeared in Qionghua City, and its terrifying posture as it pressed down.

It was as if it came with an overwhelming aura, something he can’t forget to this day, stirring his soul every time he thought of it as if he were there himself.

“So that was Lord Jixing’s doing…

But is this really a strength that humans can achieve?”

Chang Hai muttered to himself, his expression unsettled for a long time.

“One of the Star Alliance’s seven Star Lords, a mere move carrying such might…

What if he was serious?

And what about the other six?

This…

it seems our assessment of this organization has not been quite accurate…”

Chang Hai managed to suppress the shock in his heart and silently noted everything that had happened today, planning to discuss it with Minister Hu and the others upon returning.

Then, as time passed, Brother Hero and Lord Bear finished absorbing the monsters on the field.

Apart from some that had been blown to pieces, each of the remaining spiders provided about 3 points, totaling 54 points.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at his System interface and felt pretty good about it.

He had only just arrived not long ago and already had such a large number of points coming in; it seemed that his luck today was indeed quite good.

Although half of these points needed to be recorded as Contribution Value, this was still just the beginning; he believed there would be even bigger rewards today.

At this moment, Brother Hero and Lord Bear, along with the people of the Ninth Squad, had left the site of the battle and were heading toward the small woods in the west.

That was where Chang Hai and the others had initially discovered the spiders.

Now, as they drew closer, they saw that the area was already covered with thick spider webs, and they even found one or two Red Split Dogs trapped in the webs.

Since the Contribution was as good as served on a platter, there was no reason for the two to refuse.

Along with the remaining spiders, Xiao Man gained another 15 points.

“It seems that those monsters have made this their nest.

There are many spider eggs here, and I think we should clean them out in advance to prevent new spiders from emerging,” Chang Hai stated his plan and turned to look at the two Transcendents beside him.

“No problem, that’s our purpose for being here.

If you don’t mind delaying the mission, we can help you clean up,” Brother Hero responded.

“Okay, thanks for the two of you for your help.

Actually, this area is the closest route from the base to Sheep Village.

By clearing the obstacles on the road, we can actually save a lot of time,” Chang Hai explained and then led the Ninth Squad to start sweeping the spider eggs.

The team actually carried some flamethrowers, but they didn’t know the extent of the woods.

To prevent a large-scale fire from spreading flames, they gave up the idea of using fire and instead started using firearms to destroy them one by one.

By the time everyone had taken apart the spiders’ lair, more than half an hour had passed and Chang Hai’s Spirit Detection Technique had expired, losing the ability to peer at monsters through the Mist.

After ensuring that there were no more fish that slipped through the net, the group set off again toward the predetermined outpost outside Sheep Village.

In the sky, Zhang Xiaoman had by then received dozens more points, clearly earned by other squads.

The entire exploration process went smoothly.

With the help of the Star Guard, everyone didn’t encounter any urgent situations and reaped a rich harvest.

Of course, this also had to do with where everyone was located.

Zhang Xiaoman was there for them to gain experience, not to be sacrificial lambs.

So he instructed them to operate on the outer edges of the Mist and not to go inside just yet.

Only Brother Hero and the others needed to help the Ninth Squad with supply escort, which was an exception.
