I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The other humans nearby were also given the same drug.

After being given the drug, most people bled from all seven orifices, writhed in pain on the ground for a while, and then fell silent.

Some people held on for half a minute, their hands turned into claws, their sharp teeth pierced their lips, and then they died.

As time goes by, more and more people die in agony.

Three minutes later, only five people remained, struggling to hold on.

Three of them were completely unrecognizable as human.

The soles of the feet have become toes, with sharp claws at the tips.

Its lower legs bend backward, bone spurs protrude from its knees, it has thick arms, and a tail with spikes.

It had a mouth full of sharp teeth, lifeless eyes, and a ferocious, hideous face.

Judging from their condition, the presence of wisdom can no longer be sensed.

The remaining two lay on the ground, unconscious.

Their human form remained largely unchanged, except that their physique had increased in size.

Its body is covered with a layer of fine scales, and ordinary weapons probably cannot penetrate its defenses.

Although the limbs also underwent abnormal changes, they did not appear abrupt.

However, their heads transformed into ferocious dragon heads.

One of them was Andrei transformed from!

The marlin glanced at the five surviving "monsters," a hint of joy flashing in its eyes.

"Two successful products! Not bad!"

The catfish-man looked at the empty reagent in his hand and said, "This batch of reagents has a much higher success rate. It's a pity that the dragon escaped. Otherwise, we would have more dragon blood and could have developed a reagent with an even higher success rate."

"It's already quite good as it is. We need to send these two successful samples back; the next plan can't proceed without them."

......

Whoosh!

A dark shadow flashed through the forest and appeared on the branch of a giant tree.

This is a scout from the sea tribe, gathering intelligence ahead of the troops.

Suddenly, a dagger appeared from behind it and slit its throat.

Seeing the corpse of the sea creature scout, the masked thief adventurer jumped into the air, preparing to move to a different location.

call out!

A steel fork pierced through the thief's blind spot.

puff.

The thief, badly injured, fell to the ground.

The steel fork pierced his chest from behind; such a fatal wound meant there was no chance of survival.

Tap tap...

A sea creature emerged from the forest, stepped over the bleeding thief, pulled out its steel fork, and then thrust it towards the thief's head.

......

In the adventurer's hut in the Forbidden Forest, an adventurer hurriedly walked to the teleportation hall.

After being teleported to the Valley of Ossans, they hurriedly headed towards the City of Glad.

Upon receiving the message from the adventurers of Val'kam, Viscount Renault immediately began to assemble an army and then issued a commission to the Adventurers' Guild, entrusting the adventurers to go to Val'kam to defend the city.

Meanwhile, Viscount Renault sent someone to Xuelong City to inform Anno of the news.

However, the adventurer who came to deliver the information said that Anno had already returned to the royal city.

This information was provided by an adventurer at the Adventurer's Hut in the Valley of Ossans.

Anno had just left using the teleportation array.

"They actually left at this time."

Viscount Renault was somewhat anxious, but he still sent someone to Xuelong City.

Most of the elite adventurers from the main city of Glad City were taken away by Hansen and are still in Xuelong City, not yet returned.

President Mark then traveled to the royal city to prepare for the president-level meeting proposed by Anno.

To support Val'kam, Renault sent a newly recruited force of about two hundred mid-level soldiers there. The reason why adventurers in Glad City were considered elite at the third rank was because Renault had poached almost all the adventurers who broke through to the fourth rank.

While Val'kam and Glad were preparing to defend against the sea creatures, Anor had already arrived in the royal city.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city gate recognized Adelaide from a distance by the armor on the red dragon.

When Anno reached the gate, the captain guarding the city saluted him and immediately let him pass.

"Why is Lord Anno back from outside?"

After Anno left, the captain scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself, "Lord Anno's attitude in doing things recently was really too tough, not giving the eldest prince any face at all."

The power struggle between the eldest prince's and the third prince's factions is now almost out in the open.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, the king fell seriously ill.

I reckon the royal selection will be held soon.

It's unclear which of those two will become the new king.

Having just returned to the royal city, Anno was naturally unaware of what had recently happened there, nor did he know what the shadows left behind in the royal city had done.

Anno didn't return alone; he brought Gilbert with him.

Unlike before, Anno, now a high-ranking professional in the kingdom, is qualified to meet the king.

So when Anno returned, he didn't even go back to the Adventurers' Guild, but went straight to the outside of the palace to request an audience.

When the palace guards saw a dragon flying over, they immediately gathered around.

Seeing Anno jump off Adelaide, the soldiers had expressions of 'I knew it' on their faces.

However, the soldiers looked somewhat uneasy when they thought about what Anno had been doing in the royal city recently.

Finally, the squad leader steeled himself and approached Anno, asking, "Lord Anno, is there anything I can help you with?"

Anno tossed the already unconscious Gilbert to the ground and said, "I have something to report to the King!"

Upon hearing Anno's request, the squad leader looked troubled: "Lord Anno, you know that the King has not been in good health lately, and the kingdom is not open to visitors at this time."

"Is the King unwell?"

Anno was taken aback by what he heard.

He had only been away from the capital for less than ten days, so why was the king suddenly unwell?

And it looks quite serious; he's even stopped seeing people.

To get the information faster, Anno immediately canceled [Summon Shadow].

After the shadow returned, the memories of that time were instantly fed back into the original body.

After a while, Anno learned what had happened in the past few days.

Before Anno left the royal city, he applied to the king for an investigation order.

The investigation order was requested by Tester and quickly delivered to Shadow.

Shadow then led Stanberry and the other investigators, using the authority of the [Investigation Order], to begin a thorough investigation of the mercenaries who participated in the killing of the adventurers.

Within a few days, apart from Omar and a few other mercenary leaders, all the other participants were identified by the investigators.

These people were arrested and imprisoned, awaiting execution.

Now that things have come to this point, everyone knows that Omar and his associates, along with Simmons, were the masterminds behind this whole affair.

But Simmons couldn't move.

To take down Omar, they must confront Simmons.

Everyone thought the matter was over, since the Adventurers' Guild had won a great victory.

Mercenaries have become a thing of the past in the royal city.

Indeed, Shadow showed no sign of intending to attack Omar and the others.

But no one expected that Shadow would eventually take action against Omar and the others.
