I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 237. Miss Mu, please take action.

Dust, debris, and other materials automatically gather to form cloud platforms, similar to continental plates, which float in the Perpetual Current Sea and are generally used as transit and rest stops for long-distance voyages.

After being developed by humans, Yuntai will become an island in the sea suitable for long-term human habitation.

These islands are particularly common along the northern and southern border defense lines, and most of them serve as military bases.

Bernard Island is one of them.

However, Bernard Island is not a military base, but a private island belonging to the Caesar Walker.

Mu Qingtong piloted the cone-shaped boat to the outskirts of Bernard Island.

The island is enveloped by a massive air current layer, like a giant bubble floating in the sea. Through a semi-transparent membrane, one can vaguely see what's inside.

The island is filled with hundreds of futuristic silver box-shaped buildings, and various types of capsule ships are constantly taking off and landing from the docking platform. A warship the size of a star wheel hovers in the sky, and infrared detectors are constantly scanning the ground.

Through scanning, Xia Feng's cone-shaped boat successfully landed on the platform.

An auction is to be held on Bernard Island tonight, so Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong abducted two nobles who were going to attend the banquet on the way and swapped their identities and invitations with them.

As for Freya, she already had a disguised identity and an invitation.

There is a special formation inside the island. Entering it will suppress your spiritual pressure to a very low level. Fortunately, Xia Feng's physical strength is already very strong, so he is no longer afraid.

The three changed into the elegant dresses they had stolen and soon arrived at a large hall.

The auction had already begun.

To Xia Feng's astonishment, this place not only auctioned off prohibited items like Boundless Stones, but also Calamity Beasts!

One by one, the strangely shaped [Eer] were imprisoned in specially made jet-black cages, hanging from a ceiling that gleamed with silver light.

Xia Feng looked up and saw a total of twenty Evils, most of them were one-eyed Evils, and they didn't seem to pose any threat.

Only the four-eyed monster in the very center, with its gaping, bloody maw, roared and howled at the assembled crowd below.

However, what caught Xia Feng's attention was that these monstrous beasts all looked very close to humanoid forms.

It's important to know that most Evils that are close to human form have at least five eyes, and Evils with low eyes are unlikely to have a near-human form.

"This is the secret experiment on Bernard Island," Freya's voice rang out from the side.

"Perfect transformation. These monsters are actually transformed humans. However, it seems that they are all failures. If no one buys them, they will be exiled to the White Heron Forbidden Zone to fend for themselves."

Xia Feng had heard of the White Heron Forbidden Zone. For the past few hundred years, the border area between the Imaginary Kingdom and the Empire had only seen small-scale conflicts. However, thirty years ago, a medium-sized battle took place in the White Heron Sea area of ​​the northern defense line, resulting in countless deaths and injuries and causing an uproar throughout the country.

The Bailu Sea area also suffered devastating damage in this terrifying battle. The spacetime turbulence within it became extremely violent, and no one dared to set foot there, thus making it a forbidden zone for life.

"But what do these nobles want to buy Calamity Beasts for?" Xia Feng frowned in confusion. "And they're even half-Calamus that have been mutated from humans."

Freya glanced at Xia Feng, patted his shoulder, and said in a knowing tone, "Little Xia Feng, you'll never imagine what hobbies those boring big shots have. Of course, it's best not to think about it, it'll shatter your worldview."

".?"

Xia Feng's eyes widened, and he leaned back strategically. "Looks like you know a lot, teacher? Oops—teacher, you don't?"

"Get lost." Freya raised her eyebrows and slapped Xia Feng on the back of the head.

Xia Feng rubbed his head. He had to admit that Freya's stern expression did indeed have a kind of imposing aura that made people subconsciously fear her.

However, the heavy bulge under the off-shoulder dress always made Xia Feng lose his focus, and he turned his gaze away to look at the cage above.

As more and more people raised their paddles in the hall, the auction proceeded smoothly, nearing its halftime.

"Gentlemen, please come to the ballroom for a short rest." The host opened a heavy golden door leading to the underground, smiled and bowed, "Distinguished guests of high-end custom-made clothing, please follow me."

Freya's original plan was to enter the underground laboratory as a VIP guest with a high-end custom-made suit to investigate the whereabouts of her sister.

However, at Xia Feng's suggestion, it was decided to send Miss Q to investigate.

Xia Feng and Freya, on the other hand, took the opportunity to sneak into the second floor, splitting into two groups for greater efficiency.

As the three distinguished guests who wanted to purchase special monsters through high-end customization left, melodious dance music filled the hall, and the gentlemen invited the beautiful ladies to dance quietly under the soothing, dim lighting.

Freya's slender waist, accentuated by her elegant gown, was also embraced by Xia Feng's large hand. Her beautiful back stiffened slightly, and she glanced at the students nearby. Xia Feng's gaze was fixed on the direction Miss Q had left, as if he were deep in thought.

Seeing this, Freya relaxed her stiff shoulders and neck slightly, and asked in the direction of his gaze with a puzzled look, "Are you sure your friend is alright? I think her spiritual pressure is only at the third level, right?"

"Don't worry, teacher, Miss Q is a genius." Xia Feng smiled slightly and praised her generously.

"A genius?" Freya raised her eyebrows slightly, remaining skeptical. Even a genius must abide by the basic rules; a mere third-tier cultivator would be utterly defeated if he encountered a fifth-tier cultivator.

Are you sure she won't be discovered?

"Teacher Fu, don't worry, everything is going according to plan."

Of course, Xia Feng didn't actually have any plans. It was mainly because Mu Qingtong said she could go down and take a look, and that she had already thought of a detailed plan, so Xia Feng naturally supported her unconditionally.

Although he didn't know what Mu Qingtong was planning to do.
[Upon encountering two researchers dissecting human bodies for experiments, Mu Qingtong severed their heads, inflicting 1.2T of pain on the target, and granting you a 0.12-point strength boost.]

[Break a cultivation pod, kill the half-human, half-Evil monster inside, inflict 10T of Pain on the target, and gain 1 point of Strength boost.]

[Using Instant Step, you swiftly destroyed all the cultivation chambers, releasing nearly a hundred monstrous beasts. Surrounded by five second-tier spirit master researchers, you severed five heads with a single strike, further enhancing your decapitation technique.]

Strength +0.12 +0.12

".?"

Upon seeing this information, Xia Feng was utterly bewildered. "No, Miss Mu, so your plan is to create chaos and then take on everyone single-handedly?"
Freya noticed that Xia Feng's gaze was somewhat unfocused, and the hand around her waist suddenly tightened.

She gently patted Xia Feng's broad back, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Cough, it's nothing." Xia Feng came back to his senses and mentally gave Miss Mu a thumbs up. Miss Mu is really working so hard. That's great. He likes this kind of academic genius who is constantly improving his skills.

As he pondered, he felt a visible increase in his physical strength while continuing to dance with Teacher Fu around her slender waist.

As they danced, the two quietly moved toward the stairwell on the second floor.

Current Strength: 893

[Slay a guard, hypnotize and control his soul, obtain the secret vault password, enter the vault, and casually kill a passing high-level ape-insect calamity to gain a 3-point strength boost.]

[Mu Qingtong packed up all the level 3 and level 4 spiritual materials in the secret vault, including 10 level 3 spirit fruits, snow star flowers, pine and cassia wood, blood grass crystals, flower horn blood, and white jade glass, and threw them into 'Crimson's Inner Vault Space'. Your stealing proficiency and skills have slightly improved.]

[Mu Qingtong consumed five third-tier spirit fruits, rapidly absorbing and adjusting her spiritual particle structure as she walked. Her soul space and spiritual particle quantity further expanded, resulting in a significant decrease in her spiritual pressure level.]

Despite having 10 level-three spirit fruits, Mu Qingtong only ate 5. Clearly, the remaining 5 were reserved for him. Xia Feng was almost moved to tears.

She really made me cry my eyes out.
Miss Ke Mu, I don't need the Spirit Treasure Fruit! Xia Feng felt the crazy expansion of the spiritual particle quantity on the surface of his soul, as well as the strange spiritual particle structure that was always on the verge of collapse but could always maintain stability. He felt a sense of exhilaration and excitement, like taking a plane straight into the sky.

Eating five Level 5 Spirit Treasure Fruits at once is extremely dangerous.

After all, the Spirit Treasure Fruit is only used to increase the amount of spiritual particles, not to increase the density of spiritual pressure.

Eating a Level 3 Spirit Storage Fruit is like making a mineral water bottle containing spirit particles larger. The amount of spirit particles that can be stored in the bottle does increase, but the spiritual pressure density becomes sparser.

If the spiritual pressure that covers and protects the soul is too sparse, there is a risk that the soul will collapse directly.

Fortunately, Miss Mu is very powerful. Even though her spiritual energy has reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank, she is still able to maintain stable spiritual pressure.

This was virtually impossible to achieve throughout the entire history of the empire.

For example, a third-tier spirit master can only possess the spiritual energy of the early fourth tier by consuming spirit treasure fruits, but can release a few more B-grade spirit garments than a normal third-tier spirit master.

This type of spiritual master is also known as a pseudo-fourth-tier master.

But at most, he would only reach the early stage of the fourth rank. If he were to consume more spiritual particles and acquire the spiritual energy of the mid-stage of the fourth rank, then the soul of this third-rank spiritual master would collapse and vanish into nothingness.

Therefore, although the Spirit Fruit is extremely useful, no one would consume it endlessly, as that would be no different from suicide.

Of course, there is an exception now.

Current Strength: 899

[A third-tier spirit master and a fourth-tier scythe-wielding monster appear and attack Mu Qingtong. Due to the third-tier spirit master's madness, he shouts that he will chop Mu Qingtong up and feed her to the dogs. Mu Qingtong uses the scythe-wielding monster's scythe to repeatedly torture the third-tier spirit master, accumulating 100T of pain to the target. You gain 10 points of strength.]

[The fourth-tier Scythe Calamity could not bear such humiliation and knelt down, begging the human to spare it. However, Mu Qingtong continued to cut off its scythes one by one to use as weapons, quickly slaughtering the swarming minions in the corridor. You have gained 10 points of strength.]

[Using special methods, ten Three-Eyed Scythe Calamities were gathered into a sealed space. After briefly restoring spiritual pressure using the Destiny Stone, a combination of lightning and fingertip lightning was used to slaughter the group, causing 30T of pain to the group. Under the effect of the Concentric Lightning, the pain was multiplied tenfold, resulting in 300T of pain. The group of targets died, and you gained a 30-point power boost.]

Current Strength: 949

Their strength was soaring rapidly, about to break through the 1000 mark, when Xia Feng and Freya quietly arrived on the second floor.

"Om——"

Just then, the ground trembled slightly, lasting about two seconds, and then began to shake violently.

It took a while for things to return to normal, and the people on the first floor looked around in alarm, completely bewildered.

On the second floor, in the core laboratory.

"Who exactly is this guy who's courting death?"

Bernard's face was grim as he stared intently at the surveillance screens covering the walls.

The screen was completely black; clearly, all the cameras in the underground laboratory had been destroyed.

In just a few minutes, the mysterious man completely ransacked the underground laboratory, which was quite outrageous.
However, although Bernard was somewhat confused and annoyed, he no longer cared about these losses.

Because the Enlightenment Mark is about to be activated, he can immediately begin to comprehend the Dao on this A-grade spirit garment!
If it were someone else, receiving an A-grade spirit scroll would likely leave them helpless, unable to learn anything from it.

But he's different; he has a way to quickly learn how to make an A-rank spirit garment!
Of course, his talent can only be considered that of a minor genius. He can learn to wear a B-grade spirit garment without any problem, but if he wants to learn an A-grade spirit garment with this talent, he probably won't be able to learn it in his entire life.

However, his special feature lies in possessing a rare spiritual artifact that can only be used once in a lifetime. With the power of this artifact, he can easily learn to wear an A-rank spiritual garment! And the speed at which he learns to do so is extremely fast!
Bernard tapped his knuckles on the table and glanced up at the three large men standing motionless to his side.

These three men were at least 2.5 meters tall, with sparse black hair covering their foreheads, wearing only black shorts, and their bodies were filled with explosive muscles.

The three large, muscular men had black numbers etched on their bright red arms.

For example, the burly man in the lead has a mark on his arm that reads "5-104".

“Send the high-grade Calamity Orb to Lord Caesar,” Bernard said.

The high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl contains extremely terrifying and pure Calamity Spirit Liquid. It took nearly twenty years of consuming all the spiritual materials and Calamity Beasts accumulated to evolve the Calamity Spirit Pearl into a high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl, making it extremely precious.

"Send it now?" Number 104 asked in a puzzled voice. "Your Excellency, the intruder in the underground laboratory has not yet been dealt with. Are you sure you don't need us to deal with him?"

"No need."

Bernard waved his hand and said calmly, "Compared to the losses in the laboratory, the high-level Calamity Orbs are the most important thing."

Lord Nishizawa is very fond of that transformed Princess Pegasus and probably can't wait any longer. Only a high-level Calamity Orb can suppress the terrifying Calamity power on Princess's body.

"Transport this to Lord Caesar as soon as possible." Bernard handed the silver box containing the Evil Spirit Orb to the burly man, his voice cold and deep. "This item is extremely important and cannot be lost!"

"Yes!"

The three burly men nodded in deep voices. Number 104 solemnly picked up the silver box, put it into his briefcase, and quickly left the core laboratory.

*
"what happened?"

The ground was still humming and trembling. Freya keenly sensed a flash of electricity beneath her feet, seemingly transmitted from underground.

She was puzzled. What exactly had this Miss Q done underground? Wasn't it supposed to be a secret infiltration?

"Are you sure she can escape with such a commotion?" Freya asked doubtfully.

Xia Feng coughed and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine: "It's nothing, this is Miss Q's style of operation. She's just helping us draw away our forces so we can sneak in secretly and not be discovered!"

Shh—there's someone ahead.

At that moment, Freya stopped and pulled Xia Feng into a corner of the shadows.

Three burly men, each a good two and a half meters tall, emerged from a tall door. The man in the middle was carrying a black briefcase. The three men walked away in another direction, gradually disappearing into the distance.

"咚咚-"

"Boom boom boom——"

But when he saw the briefcase, Emo's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, and Xia Feng's expression froze slightly.

He could clearly sense that the contents of the suitcase seemed capable of repairing the heart!

Just as Xia Feng was filled with surprise, the suitcase suddenly vibrated and hummed, and metal fragments exploded outwards.

whoosh-

A jet-black bead, trailing a trail of light, shot out of the dust and rushed straight toward Xia Feng, like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, excitedly throwing itself into his arms.

Xia Feng: "?"

The three burly men turned their heads in astonishment: "?!?!"
