Dragon Ocean City, Su Manor. Su Chengbo sat in the study room, reading the documents sent by his secretary. Although he was the city lord of Dragon Ocean City, he didn't need to deal with the daily affairs. The staff he recruited had already handled the affairs for him in an orderly manner. He only needed to read it once and sign it.
After the secretary left, Su Chengbo got up and walked to the window. He closed his eyes, but the vertical eye on his forehead was open facing the sunlight. The glaring sunlight turned into strands of silver light and entered the vertical eye.
The three-eyed race was born with an affinity with light. As long as they opened their third eye, they could guide the light to strengthen their body. The process was not dangerous, so every three-eyed race member who completely opened their third eye had a high probability of becoming a physical master.
As long as they didn't have to be impatient and guide the light into their body every day, they would become a physical master when their body was completely transformed. Of course, becoming a physical master didn't mean the end. It was only the beginning.
To Physique Masters like them, everything in the secular world was tasteless. The supreme path of evolution was their ultimate goal.
It was also because of this that there were many physical masters in the three-eyed race. Physical masters were already at the peak of the human race's martial strength. Each of them was like an old monster. Even if the Great Emperor of Eastern Yuan wanted to deal with them, he had to be careful. After all, an organization without martial strength was like a pavilion in the sky.
"Father." Su Wenlin walked into the study room and called out in a low voice.
Su Chengbo closed his vertical eye, turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
"Father, the twenty engineers from the race have arrived. Fourth uncle is also here." Su Wenlin lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Okay." Su Chengbo nodded lightly and returned to the table to sit down.
Su Wenlin hesitated and asked, "Father, I heard that you are preparing to rebuild the Wolf Spirit Army?"
Su Chengbo looked up at him and said, "Wenlin, do you think that it is a waste of your talent to let you supervise the construction of the industrial zone?"
Su Wenlin took a few steps forward and said, "Father, what is there to see in that industrial zone? Just let me go to the army to gain experience."
Su Chengbo pondered for a moment and said: "I am indeed going to let you go to the army to gain experience, but not the Wolf Spirit Army, but the Navy."
"Ah, Navy, is it the South Tooth Island Fleet?"
Su Chengbo nodded and said, "Right now, the various countries don't attach much importance to their navies, but once the situation changes, the future will be dominated by the navy. We can attack or retreat as we wish. The resources that I've requested from the clan this time is to build a powerful navy. The Merfolk Emissary has already agreed to cooperate with us and provide us with advanced shipbuilding technology. When the time comes, your Fourth Uncle will be in charge of everything in the navy. You can be his assistant."
Su Wenlin was a little excited at first, but later on, he was a little disappointed. He muttered, "Go and help."
Su Chengbo sighed and said, "Wenlin, I know you've always wanted to prove yourself. I also know your abilities. Your only weakness is that your temperament isn't stable enough and you lack experience. You have to understand my painstaking efforts."
"Yes, I understand."
Su Wenlin walked to the door unhappily. When he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Father, little sister hasn't gone out for many days. She listens to you the most. You have to persuade her."
Su Chengbo's face revealed a trace of warmth and said, "Little sister is currently studying the Nine Extremes Divination with a little friend. Don't disturb her for the next two days."
Su Wenlin said with some regret: "Oh, it's that Xiao Xue right? She's a pretty good girl. Why can't she speak? Father, should we ask someone to take a look at her?"
Su Chengbo shook his head and said, "The heavens have imperfections. The heavens have given her a different side. Naturally, some things will be taken away. This is fate. We can't change it."
Not long after Su Wenlin left, an aide rushed into the study and said, "City Lord, the southern Changyuan County has sent an urgent request for help. It says that a large number of mutated locusts are flying from the southern sea and are about to invade."
Su Chengbo's face darkened and said, "How can locusts fly across the vast sea? Do you know where they came from?"
The aide took out a map from his chest and spread it on the desk. He pointed to a lonely continent in the deep sea and said, "I suspect that they flew from the Extreme Crimson Land."
…
Without the disturbance of the fog, Luo Kai ran out of the valley in a moment. Gradually, his whole body seemed to be flying. Carrying Lu Qing on his back, he jumped in the forest like a leopard cat. Every time he borrowed the momentum, he could slide dozens of meters away.
Lu Qing saw the terrifying creature chasing behind them. Just as she was about to say something, a gust of air rushed into her mouth. She closed her eyes and smelled a strong male scent. Her frightened heart gradually calmed down.
The green-scaled serpent behind them was also very fast. Snakes relied on their muscles to move. Its hundred-year-old tree-like body rippled with layers of ripples as it meandered through the forest. Its speed was not inferior to Luo Kai's at all.
The white-furred rat standing on the serpent's head used its lower limbs to cling tightly to the pair of horns. Its front claws danced, and the water elements in the air constantly gathered and quickly cooled, turning into ice arrows that shot towards Luo Kai.
The speed of the ice arrows behind him was no less than that of bullets. Luo Kai activated his spiritual sense to the maximum and deftly dodged them. At the same time, his heart beat faster. A warm current surged through his body, and his speed increased again. At this time, he had no time to distinguish the direction. He could only run aimlessly. First, he had to get rid of the two ferocious beasts behind him.
The white-furred rat was lying on the head of the green-scaled serpent. It kept squeaking, urging the serpent to give chase. After a while, the serpent became impatient and responded with a hiss. It also wanted to give chase, but this was already the limit of its speed.
Yesterday, the three ferocious beasts fought fiercely for a whole day and finally killed all the creatures that came before them. When they were about to share the spoils of war, they discovered that more than half of the Azure Dragon's brain was missing. The three ferocious beasts thought that someone had eaten it and almost fought over it. Fortunately, they were intelligent and thought of the human who had snuck away during the fierce battle. After dividing the remaining brain, they immediately went to the forest to look for the human. This time, the herb-gatherers in the forest were in trouble.
Luo Kai didn't know how long he had been running. Finally, low shrubs and weeds appeared in front of him. It was as if he had run out of the forest. The two ferocious beasts behind him had also been shaken off. His heartbeat began to slow down, and he slowly slowed down. He put down Lu Qing beside a large rock and then sat down on the ground, panting.
"Oh no, I lost two bags of herbs!"
Lu Qing rubbed her aching waist. When she stood up and saw that she was the only one holding the two bags of herbs. The ones in Luo Kai's hands were long gone. She couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
"It's fine if it's lost. It's just a worldly possession."
Luo Kai said helplessly. This girl seemed to be a money-grubber. He had to run with all his strength, and the two bags in his hands greatly affected his speed. Halfway through, he lost them.
Lu Qing said angrily, "Do you know how much a bag of these herbs is worth? Oh … you can't buy them with money."
"Okay, I'll get them."
Luo Kai carried the two bags of herbs on his shoulder and raised his head to determine the direction. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly smelled blood. He narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the smell. On a distant tree, a leopard was gnawing on half a corpse. A human corpse.
Lu Qing followed his gaze and also saw it. She couldn't help but feel her stomach churn. She leaned over and retched. She had seen many bloody scenes, but they were all animal corpses.
The leopard on the tree also saw them, but it didn't panic. It bared its teeth in a threatening manner, then lowered its head and continued to enjoy the food.
Luo Kai didn't do anything. He said in a low voice, "Let's go."
The surroundings were very empty. They should have left the forest, but they didn't see any signs of human habitation. After walking for about ten minutes, Luo Kai suddenly stopped. At this time, a shadow suddenly rushed out from the grass beside them. It was the leopard. It had been quietly following them, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Luo Kai's face turned cold. His wrist shook, and accompanied by the clear sound of the Blade of Severance, the blade flashed and directly cut the leopard in two. The internal organs fell to the ground and the smell of blood assailed their nostrils. Even so, the leopard didn't die. Its pair of front paws crawled forward for a while before it stopped moving. The vitality of animals was extremely strong. He didn't have any doubts and continued to pull Lu Qing forward.
