Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

"The camera footage of candidate number 0072999 has been lost!"

"The camera footage of candidate number 0072999 has been lost!"

"..."

The monitoring system of the Taicang ship emitted a piercing alarm.

After a brief moment of confusion, without Chu Kuangsheng's prompting, the highly skilled staff immediately got to work.

"Locating candidate number 0072999 using the locator..."

"Positioning successful!"

"Checking vital signs of candidate number 0072999..."

"normal!"

"Location coordinates have been sent to the dedicated SLR camera!"

"It is estimated that it will take 24 minutes to reach the coordinates!"

Many people frowned upon hearing the number 24 minutes.

Sun Ping looked at Chu Kuangsheng, who had maintained a blank expression for a long time, again: "Judging from the coordinates, the location of the monocular camera and Mingxi is not close, but the terrain of the examination room is extremely complicated, and they are currently underground."

Do you really think a single-lens re-camera can lock onto Mingxi again within 24 minutes?

Chu Kuangsheng glanced at him.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Sun Ping sighed, looking worried, and said, "Without the camera, none of us know what Mingxi is doing or what she's been through. What if she entered that area and found that item during this time...?"

Chu Kuangsheng frowned: "Are you worried that she'll pocket the stuff?"

"I am absolutely not questioning Mingxi's character, but even I am not confident that I can avoid having inappropriate thoughts when faced with that thing. After all, some temptations are not easy for ordinary people to resist."

But Mingxi is still a child, what if…”

Chu Kuangsheng shook his head: "You're overthinking it. Although she's only 14, she's resilient and insightful. Even I wouldn't dare say she's definitely better than her."

There was a pause.

He added, "So what if she really can't resist the temptation?"

Just like you said, she's still a child and owes nothing to anyone.

Sun Ping sighed again, knowing that worrying about these things now was pointless.

I just hope that the DSLR camera can find Mingxi soon.

In fact, the Creation Fruit is fraught with dangers, and it is certain that the monocular camera will lose track of the examinees.

Therefore, each candidate carried a locator before entering the examination room.

Moreover, it is a high-tech locator that is implanted under the skin, waterproof, anti-electric shockproof, shockproof, painless implantation, and does not harm the body or have any side effects.

After the exam, simply injecting the accompanying medication will allow the locator to dissolve naturally.

Of course, neither locators nor monocular cameras can be foolproof.

Even SS-level items can be damaged, let alone such a high-tech product.

However, as long as the scoring system is working properly, the candidate's score will remain valid.

Therefore, Mingxi doesn't care whether the monocular camera is keeping up or not; it's better if it isn't.

Nobody likes living under constant scrutiny.

At least, she doesn't like it.

Especially in this environment, Mingxi felt that the fewer people who saw it, the better!

"Lingling, Linglingling."

Lan Yue Liang made a face like a cat, indicating that it smelled terrible here and it had never wished it could lose its sense of smell so much.

Even the aloof creature couldn't resist raising its right paw to cover its nose.

Mingxi expressed her understanding.

The smell here is indeed very strong.

How to describe it?

It's probably similar to a mass grave.

This strong smell was a disaster for Lan Yueliang, whose sense of smell was exceptionally sensitive.

"Na Lanyue, you take charge of the outer perimeter security. I'll get this thing into the Time Realm right away."

"Lingling".

Lan Yue Liang did not refuse the arrangement made by its beast tamer.

It just couldn't stand the smell, it was too addictive!

Even if it knows that what is in front of it is precious, it doesn't stop it from disliking its smell.

So what exactly is appearing before Mingxi and the others at this moment?

a corpse.

To be precise, it was a stone that looked very much like a highly decomposed giant corpse.

This stone is called the Giant Corpse Stone, also known as the Thousand Lives Stone.

It is called the Thousand-Life Stone not because it has a thousand lives, but because it is an inanimate object without life.

Rather, it is because it is the best breeding ground for natural treasures.

The "life" in "a thousand lives" refers to rare and precious materials.

Throughout the history of the Alliance, there are only two known Thousand Lifestones that have been discovered by humans.

Both of these Thousand Life Stones have nurtured rare materials of inestimable value.

For example, the Eternal Sunflower, which was rated as SSS-level.

The value of the Thousand Life Stone cannot be measured in Star Coins.

Even if she fails this mission, if she is willing to offer up the Thousand Life Stone, it would be enough for the country to protect her for life.

Her luck is indeed very principled.

The more convoluted and dangerous the process, the greater the reward!

pretty good.

"It's just a little creepy," Mingxi remarked.

The Thousand Lives Stone really looks too much like a highly decomposed corpse.

It possesses almost all the characteristics that can be found on a corpse: rotting flesh, foul blood, lividity, gigantism, and the stench of death.

Even forensic doctors would shake their heads at this.

But if you have the courage to touch it, you'll find that it really is just a stone.

"I wonder if putting this thing into the Time Realm will pollute the air there?"

"It would be great if the Time Realm could create a special room just for it."

As Mingxi endured the intoxicating scent and approached the Thousand Life Stone, she muttered to herself.

But she knew that the functional room was definitely out of the question; if it were possible, Guangguang would have spoken up long ago.

Ugh.

Pity.

Mingxi stood beside the Thousand Life Stone, glanced at the rotting eye sockets with their vibrant flowers, bit her pale lips that were biting the iron thorns, and then swept her gaze over the body covered with colorful crystals and lividity...

The image ultimately focuses on the dent in the left knee.

The original patella was broken into a large bowl, filled with a liquid that was mostly silvery-white with red spots, somewhat like mercury.

Despite the possibility of turning into a zombie from the fumes, Mingxi leaned closer to take a look: "Why does this thing look so much like Molten Saliva Incense?"

Oh no!

It really is a fragrant, smoky flavor!

Could this be the legendary "what you dream about at night, you gain during the day"?

Normally, molten saliva only appears inside active volcanoes.

Only magma with extremely high temperatures and containing a large amount of lava elements can possibly solidify into molten incense.

However, the Thousand Life Stone obviously cannot be classified as normal, so it is not incomprehensible that molten saliva was found here.

However, the weight of the molten incense produced by the Thousand Life Stone might not be enough to melt that mermaid amber.

Mingxi estimated the weight with her naked eye; it was around level 4 or 5.

But Guangguang said that at least ten catties of melting incense are needed to melt amber.

It's less than half.

"No rush, maybe we'll have enough soon?"

Mingxi maintained her composure, put away the Melting Incense first, and then began to deal with the Thousand Life Stone.

"Kaka!"

The Thousand Life Stone has long been inseparable from the ground in this area.

If Mingxi wants to move the Thousand Life Stone in its entirety, she will naturally have to separate it from the ground first.

For a moment, the clicking sound continued.
