The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 741

With evil spirits roaming and hunting, the area outside the city is no longer safe.

Olaf, controlled by Black Robb, didn't need to bypass the city; he just needed a bit more luck to avoid being besieged by evil forces.

As it turned out, his luck was stolen by a group of scavengers, who, while unlucky enough to encounter a bunch of evil creatures, were extremely fortunate to run into him.

The most fortunate thing is that the timing was perfect; any earlier and they would have missed it. After all, Olaf's flight speed is not slow, and any later and he would have been ruined by the evil ones. Even if Black Roboken came to help, the heartache would be hard to cure.

They managed to seize the very short window of opportunity, which can be described as lucky.

Black Rob didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a torrent of elemental power, and the icy blue cold wave acted like a filter, freezing those with relatively low strength into ice sculptures.

Then, taking the initiative and acting swiftly, he unleashed his second move: Extreme Temperature Refining Fire.

This elemental flame is clearly linked to the previous cold wave, causing the extreme cold to turn into extreme heat.

Using this diode-like effect, several more evil beings were eliminated, causing their bodies to crack and their evil energy to leak out wildly. The evil energy that was spewed out was all in the form of flames, which shows that their bodies can be considered well-sealed furnaces in a certain sense, where the evil energy was processed and then converted into combat power.

Now, after these two rounds of attacks, the remaining less affected evil forces have fallen to single digits.

Black Rob is a seasoned fighter. With a flick of his left hand, several wind blades flew out, whistling loudly, heading in different trajectories towards the most powerful and malevolent of them all. His aim was not to kill, but simply to trap the enemy.

He himself was like a cannonball, his right fist swirling with rapidly increasing golden earth elemental power, as he blasted towards the weakest of the evil creatures.

The cannon punch arrived in an instant, and the evil creature had no chance to dodge it. It was hit head-on, and a golden shockwave spread out from the point of impact. At the same time, it was like a baseball that had been hit squarely, and it was sent flying. It exploded in mid-air.

After throwing that punch, Black Robb ignored it and turned to his next target, also using both hands simultaneously, but this time it was a fire blast and an ice spike.

The ice spikes shot out, creating a spiraling, spreading halo and phantom, even more powerful than wind blades, directly piercing the core of an evil being.

Compared to the head, the heart is the true Achilles' heel of evil, provided there is no intention to harvest it.

After all, the sudden destruction of the new core caused the internal energy cycle of the evil entity to collapse in the most intense mode, resulting in an exceptionally gruesome death.

The purpose of fire rush is not to kill the enemy, but to change the situation on the battlefield.

The evil creature whose actions had been deliberately delayed by Black Robo had now realized what was happening. Seeing how powerful Black Robo was, it gathered its kind and attempted to form a united front.

"Combined combat" is not a joint operation, but more like a combined skill where "I will form the head".

It is generally difficult to achieve this. Only when there is sufficient external pressure, making the evil spirits feel a sufficient life-or-death crisis, will they put aside their reluctance and willingly become tools of the core controller after the fusion.

Black Robo naturally wouldn't let it have its way. The fire was used perfectly. The high temperature scorching and the shock wave caused by the bursting air not only blew apart the evil creature that was trying to unite, but also made it charred on the outside and tender on the inside. With the slightest movement, black ash would fall from its body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Black Rob once again used his aura to judge and find new easy targets, and he was able to hit them every time.

The aura is not only the dissipation of energy, but also the dissipation of soul power.

Observing the former mainly helps to understand the target's level of supernatural power utilization, while the latter reflects their current mental state.

After all, being a superhuman, one's current emotional state has a significant impact on their combat power. If their current state doesn't match the superhuman attribute they primarily control, then they'll be lucky to unleash even 30-40% of their full power.

Through round after round of screening and judgment, Black Robo adopted a strategy of cutting off one finger, causing the evil forces to be quickly reduced to ashes. What was originally a strong team was suppressed from beginning to end and could not exert its strength. When only a few people were left, it was difficult for them to cause any trouble and could not be easily controlled.

This tactic not only considers the survivors caught up in the battle, but also adheres to the principle of small losses and large gains, trying to avoid releasing a large amount of supernatural power during the battle.

Furthermore, there are specific rules regarding the type of extraordinary power released, which involves the rules and processes by which the universe transforms extraordinary power. Similar to a chemical reaction, A + B = C, but if A becomes scarce, the transformation process will be slowed down. This is the entry point where artificial intervention can be possible.

The distorted Heavenly Dao, and the extraordinary power it transforms into, is like the shoddy products of a black factory, which is unlikely to satisfy Black Robo. Therefore, delaying its production capacity from the perspective of raw materials is naturally a solution.

Of course, Black Robb currently has no plans to promote "acting on behalf of Heaven" in this field.

His thinking was that if distorting the natural order is ineffective, then it's best not to let it cause trouble or become an indirect accomplice to the chaos and darkness of the world.

Even if it causes an accumulation of extraordinary power, at least one can work on this accumulated power, such as seizing and utilizing it to strengthen and develop the production and combat system he leads, until he has the ability to act on behalf of Heaven to transform extraordinary power.

Moreover, dealing with the accumulated power is also a challenge for enemies represented by the Chaotic Staircase.

They are actually more accustomed to utilizing extraordinary power processed by the distorted laws of nature. Just like those refineries, they mainly process semi-finished products.

Now even the preliminary processing must be done personally. Regardless of whether one is capable or accustomed to it, the advantage of directly utilizing semi-finished products is gone.

Everyone is starting from the same point, producing organic fertilizer from the very beginning of collecting night soil, which means there are more and more specific areas for competition.

While Black Rob wouldn't claim to be the best in production and operations, he was absolutely confident that he could outperform the chaotic, rotten ladder of people.

Black Rob easily defeated the troublesome and wicked hunting party with his fluid and skillful techniques. The lucky scavenger who was rescued stepped forward to thank him for his kindness.

Black Robb remained silent, extracting demonic energy from the still-warm corpse of the evil creature while warning the scavengers: "Evil creatures are extremely sensitive to supernatural power. Soon, more than one evil creature hunting party will arrive to investigate. Whatever your plans are, you should hurry up."

When the scavengers heard Black Rob say this, they naturally understood that he wouldn't interact with them much, nor did he care about any substantial thanks they could offer.

He then continued to feign weakness and docility, stammering a few words before quickly evacuating according to the pre-arranged action plan.

Watching the group's departing figures, Olaf, who had essentially completed the work of extracting fel energy, smiled and smiled upwards.

Those who would voluntarily go out to scavenge are unlikely to be innocent or naive.

It can only be said that kindness is the most basic persona of the weak. Those who are most likely to die are never the good people who are constantly being held at gunpoint, but the weak who abandon their kind persona and think that they can live a better life by being ruthless enough.

Olaf had time to set several traps to harm the evil team that came to investigate, but he did not do so.

After all, his perspective on evil is different from that of the survivors and scavengers.

Although both wished for the extinction of evil spirits, the latter cared more about a world without the threat of evil spirits, while Black Robo valued a dignified harvest.

Simple killing only leads to the contamination of fel energy, and more tragedies caused by dark supernatural forces are repeated again and again like a cycle.

Therefore, his current approach to killing evil and wicked people is more focused on coordinated operations, which is quite different from his unparalleled mowing down of weeds when the plague first broke out.

Moreover, Black Rob is now more competitive than before, keeping an eye on the Chaotic Staircase all day long, watching how they harvest evil spirits, and sabotaging their operations whenever the opportunity arises.

Just as Olaf was heading to the Syndicate, Siegfried, 3-2, was reaping kills during a raid on the Chaotic Stairway.

Sieg initially went to the Wastelanders occupying the Lennarzer prison to obtain the antidote formula, only to personally experience the crudeness of the voodoo version. Hemp fiber was used as the antidote, and lime was used as a spellcasting material; both were part of the formula.

Later research showed that the idea behind using ice numbing cream as a preventative medicine was to use poison to fight poison.

When narcotic tincture enters the human body, it produces a mild toxic effect, which has little impact on normal human activities. However, it is comparable to artificial body odor in front of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to many viruses.

The underlying mechanism of disease prevention is not new to Black Robo, but given the urgency of the situation, finding such a toxin is not easy.

Ice Hemp proved its effectiveness with facts, proving it was ready to use immediately. It pointed out the direction for Black Rob, who naturally didn't mind copying and improving upon it.

Furthermore, Black Robb remembered this kindness, so Siegfried worked harder in 3-2, which was a positive feedback.

The guy codenamed 'Big Beard' wants Sig to make a trip to the police station shrouded in the plague.

Sig not only risked his life, but also successfully rescued his target alive.

The difficulties involved were truly legendary.

The bearded man joked about it: "When I first heard your name (Sig means victory), I thought it was such a good name that a dog had chosen it. But now, it's actually quite fitting!"

With a good start, more tasks followed.

The group of outlaws entrenched in Lennazhe Prison are no pushovers; they are a notorious anti-government armed force in the area. They are an organized, principled, and religiously committed group, willing to sacrifice themselves. Any official force would find it a headache to deal with such an organization.

However, the organization is not good at developing and expanding its ranks, nor is it good at mobilizing the masses. With only a small group of core members, even if they are made of iron, how many nails can they crush?

That is why their attitude towards core members is that not a single one can be missing; they must be found alive or dead.

You're loyal and righteous, huh? Fine, I've found your weakness.

This is the official attitude towards the organization. As the saying goes, "one man's hero is another man's enemy." Between two hostile groups, there is no room for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, or trustworthiness.

Therefore, when the plague broke out, the organization was already on the verge of collapse. Its number one leader was imprisoned in the police station, where he was beaten and fed every day, and was also being used as a sting operation. Meanwhile, his accomplices who were betrayed and imprisoned along with him went through a special process, without trial, and were directly imprisoned for life.

When the plague struck, all the officials, including the warden and guards, scattered like birds and beasts. The number two, Big Beard, took the opportunity to lead his men to attack the prison. After a brief discussion, they decided to occupy the prison and refuse to leave.

Then, wanting more, he thought of going to the police station to rescue Number 1.

But the lives of our old buddies are precious, so someone like Sieg, who is capable and willing to buy fame, is more valuable.

Furthermore, Sieg demonstrated a level of loyalty that was above average. Whether it was genuine or just a persona, actions speak louder than words, and such a person is naturally very valuable to recruit.

Especially with sudden changes in the overall environment, even in order to survive, there is a need to expand the team. As a result, the demand for recruiting a group of high-quality new members is even higher, and can even be described as urgent.

Analyzing the situation from Black Rob's perspective, or rather from the perspective of Sig's character, the most remarkable point is that when Big Beard and his team were newly formed, they were still using the principle of exchanging hearts and minds, rather than relying on routines and systems.

Of course, they have already started to try this approach, but it is still relatively rudimentary. They do this for the outer members, but once they pass the test and become the old brothers in the inner circle, they become more loyal and honest.

From this perspective, Sieg is quite lucky. He seized the window of opportunity during a period of great change and when it was easier to pass the test. He also happened to save the team's number one. In addition, he is daring and hardworking, always able to handle the tasks assigned to him properly, and has a good personality. He is conscientious in his work, so his status has risen all the way up. Now he has a code name, Iron Wolf, and ranks seventeenth.

Black Robb doesn't care much for these concepts, but he does care a lot about the character.

Because he is very representative.

He represents the group of survivors around the world who are relatively capable of surviving.

Organizations like the Crown of Thorns and the Brotherhood of the Sunstriders are not included in this category.

In Black Robb's eyes, these are nothing more than successors of the extraordinary victory, some even being its continuation, with no change in the core theme.

For him, these kinds of survivor groups meant very little.

After all, they've been on the blacklist for a while, and they'll eventually be removed; it's just a matter of time.

Having established this tone, the shelters built by these forces by absorbing survivors were identified by Black Robo as a supernatural force and its mortal vassals.

The crime of those mortals who are subservient to him lies in his belief that these humans are unable to live their own lives and will only increasingly gravitate towards the supernatural forces they rely on.

To put it more bluntly, they are the beasts of burden for extraordinary forces, serving as a depletion of cannon fodder. Extraordinary forces rarely even recruit those with extraordinary potential from among them to facilitate their awakening.

When this topic comes up, the situation becomes much more complicated, involving issues such as human nature, the entropy of organizational power, the cultural core of the power, its core principles, and so on.

Why did Black Rob decide to eliminate all the supernatural forces of this era?

It is because he believes that, fundamentally, these extraordinary forces have become corrupt, have become beneficiaries, parasites of civilization, and have hindered human civilization from keeping pace with the times and adapting to the trend of low-magicification.

If, after comprehensive evaluation, he had not deemed it necessary to eliminate the enemy, he would have already thoroughly implemented a strategy of dividing and conquering factions, uniting all forces that could be united, and eliminating the main enemy.

Aside from the shelters centered around supernatural forces, the groups of human survivors who can still survive through a series of means are what Black Robb considers to be the last essence of the current human civilization.

According to his plan, if these human survivors survive the catastrophe and remain unchanged, they will take over the more than two million human survivors under his control.

Because he absolutely did not want the humans he was in charge of to end up with his 'scent'.

What he needs is for human civilization in this world to follow its own inherent path, maintaining its independence regardless of major disasters or calamities, or natural or man-made calamities, rather than being molded into a certain shape by some outsider.

Following this logic, his seed bank plan seems inferior.

After all, there will inevitably be too many traces of him, so it is only an alternative.

If possible, he still hopes that the people of this world can remain as they were.

Some might argue that humankind's early civilizations ceased to be independent and autonomous when they accepted investment from the gods in order to rise to power.

Black Robb agreed with this argument, but considering the principle of paying back debts and taking responsibility for one's mistakes, this near-annihilation of human civilization could also be seen as a way to cleanse one's sins.

After the karmic debts of the past are settled, the purity of human civilization is enhanced. As long as one successfully transcends the tribulation, Black Rob will grant a certain degree of recognition and greater respect.

In this way, 3-2 Sig's role is equivalent to serving as an observer in one of the organizations most likely to inherit the mantle of human civilization, and the information he obtains is naturally very valuable.

In fact, if the seed bank project is ultimately to be implemented, many of its specific strategies will need to draw on the successes and failures of similar organizations. Only then can Blackbeard believe that the outcome of the seed bank project will be closer to its original, unadulterated form…
