The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 746

With his secret production base and shelter series both thriving, Black Robo is confident he can remain calm and collected, even if a super monster like the Forbidden Abomination emerges, which will inevitably make the world's living environment even more harsh and cruel.

Given this, he was relatively relaxed when he sent 3-2 Sig to Lennarzer City to track and scout, and even had the leisure to warn a scavenging team that also made a living in the area.

However, the team members did not choose to believe it, or perhaps such purely altruistic behavior is too rare nowadays.

The members of this scavenging team seemed more willing to give face to Sig's outward display of force.

After all, Sig is now well-equipped, has a steady and high-spirited demeanor, and a healthy and radiant complexion—a true powerhouse.

So the leader of the scavenging team said with a hint of obsequious flattery, "We'll just search for some supplies on the northern edge of the city. The old and the young in the camp are all waiting..."

Black Robo didn't bother listening to what came next; it was nothing more than him complaining.

He considered himself to have some empathy and to be able to understand the suffering of the survivors.

What made him increasingly impatient was actually the stubbornness, or rather, the obsession inherent in human nature.

They can't listen to good or bad advice and are stuck in a state of self-righteousness.

He admitted that, in a way, he was like that himself.

If he had to pinpoint any differences, he felt there were two: firstly, their strength was greater, resulting in a relatively higher margin for error; secondly, they valued intelligence and were adept at assessing situations.

If you have neither of these, and are particularly stubborn, then all I can do is wish you good luck.

Therefore, he did not offer any further advice, but simply said, "Good luck to you!" before entering the area shrouded in evil mist.

The scavenging team watched the agile figures disappear quickly into the gray-black fog, their expressions a mixture of relief and doubt.

Generally speaking, only young people living in peaceful environments are keen to solve problems with violence, commonly known as: seeking revenge.

People like scavengers, who live in constant danger and often have to resort to violence to solve problems, are actually extremely cautious about violence and try to avoid it whenever possible.

What prompted them to develop this mindset was not only the direct connection between winning and losing and life, but also some very real issues.

For example, one of the most realistic problems is that even if you win by using violence, you may not be able to escape unscathed. Whether the opponent is human or monster, a desperate counterattack or the instinct to take someone down with you when you realize you have no way out is extremely dangerous and will most likely make the victor pay a price.

Injury, given the current living conditions, is often tantamount to a terrible death. The torment is enough to horrify onlookers, let alone the feelings of the person involved.

Therefore, when the scavengers first sensed Sig's powerful qualities, many of them had the idea of ​​paying money to avoid disaster.

The blood price law states that when the violence of an individual or group is enough to inflict heavy losses on people, people tend to avoid such violence by making appropriate sacrifices.

Simply put, it's protection money.

Some even see it as the reason for the birth of power and order.

Black Robo, on the other hand, has already moved beyond the stage of frequently dissecting the essence behind things.

He lost interest in it, had little patience for it, and was unwilling to expend even the slightest bit of his mental energy on it.

He was terrified by this numbness and worried about the sudden arrival of his soul's demise.

Then, even this worry turned into a phase of life and became a thing of the past.

He can now accept the concept of 'soul aging' more readily.

Of course, acceptance doesn't mean remaining indifferent to its performance; there are still ways to resist, such as a desire for progress. This positive force, like the white eye of a yin fish, is a profound truth, representing the principles governing the operation of all things, including the human heart…

The city of Lennarzer was shrouded in a thick, iron-gray fog that lingered for years.

Black Rob was already used to this.

Fog can almost be called a major feature of this world.

Black Rob has seen many types of fog in this world.

He believes that various types of fog, which are not purely natural phenomena, will not completely disappear until the world emerges from its long period of darkness.

This fog even carried the bewildered emotions of intelligent beings.

But most survivors prefer to believe that this iron-gray mist is the resentment of those who perished in the plague, combined with the remains of the plague virus.

That's not entirely unfounded. Research on Blackroboration shows that the plague virus itself has an extremely strong craving for fel energy.

The virus infects living beings, and there may be an intention within it to instrumentalize them, thereby better obtaining evil power.

This explanation risks making viruses seem intelligent. However, since they are not naturally occurring but artificially created, it is not surprising that they are endowed with characteristics through biological instincts.

Black Rob has many ways to deal with this fog, including some tricks.

They can achieve their goals without even needing to use supernatural powers.

This makes the fog appear as a sensitive creature when viewed from above, as it naturally retreats from Sig, forming an area with a radius of about three meters. Once Sig has passed, the fog automatically closes again.

Even so, the city still appeared terrifying and eerie.

It wasn't just Lennarzer; almost every city that had fallen to the plague was in a similar state.

The ground was always wet and sticky, as if a light, oily rain had just fallen.

The bone-chilling cold does not change with the weather.

Whether it's the sweltering summer or the snowy winter, the area within the Evil Fog region remains the same.

There was no snow, no rain, no wind, only an iron-gray fog. The lower the altitude, the darker the color, while above three meters above the ground, it became a relatively normal grayish-white...

The faint stench of death lingered in the cold air.

That was the smell of darkness and filth, the breeding ground for evil energy.

Their sinister and energy-hungry nature has caused their nests to unknowingly take on this appearance, much like the evil places that most people stereotype them as, and even the kind with a strange atmosphere.

In such an environment, it would be a waste if no terrifying predators suddenly appeared. 'Whoosh whoosh whoosh!' Several figures leaped like lightning, rushing towards Sig.

Black Robb knew that the evil spirit had discovered him using the evil mist.

The specific technology involved is a modified and extended version of energy sensing, much like detecting the source of fluctuations in stagnant water by sensing slight ripples.

The evil and the strange are more compatible with the evil mist. It is through this simple compatibility that they can distinguish between their own kind and those of different kinds.

However, this method is too crude and can easily lead to farcical situations where the prey launches a suicidal attack on the hunter, as is the case now.

Acting alone, Black Robo dropped his pretense and donned the Earth Elemental Armor.

In fact, he was fully capable of directly generating a four-element hybrid armor. He used the earth element armor, but he was mainly afraid of scaring away these unlucky evil spirits.

'Crack!' A very successful combined attack; although it came from two separate directions, the sound was almost a single, fusion.

Although the evil creatures are thin, they are not weak at all and have considerable skill in using them. They can concentrate all their strength into a single strike, and with their claws which are equivalent to being empowered, their attack power is indeed remarkable. Two large chunks of Sig's earth elemental armor, which is harder than granite, were ripped out. In the grooves carved by the claws, you could even see the leather armor that Sig was wearing underneath.

With a grab and a scoop, the wicked methods are like the three-pronged attack of a carnivore—simple, efficient, and masterful. A slight misstep and you'll be disemboweled and your organs pulled out.

However, compared to Black Robo, this combat skill was clearly inferior. In a split second, Black Robo also attacked with both hands simultaneously, sacrificing his armor for the precise result of his hands, like tiger claws, striking straight at the head.

Then, with a slight jolt, the two evil creatures, like balloons whose gas had been drained from their bodies, quickly flattened into a grotesque mess.

At the same time, Black Robb used his footwork and body movements to twist and turn, dodging one evil monster that was pouncing on him. He then used one of the shriveled corpses in his hand to deflect another evil monster's attack. The shriveled corpse in his other hand was then thrown out and slammed into the last evil monster that was pouncing on him.

With a 'crack!' sound, the last evil creature that pounced forward was hit head-on by a dump truck traveling at over 200 miles per hour. It was thrown back several meters away with the sound of its bones shattering, and fell to the ground.

Just as it flew off, Black Robo desperately needed to spin, and with a blur of motion, he spun into the arms of the evil creature that had previously deflected his attack with the corpse of its other hand.

This move naturally took the evil creature by surprise. It inherited the structure of the human upper limbs, which meant that it was difficult to launch a powerful attack against an enemy so close to it, and it would take more time to change tactics.

But for Black Rob, who was already mentally prepared, the success of this move was tantamount to gaining the upper hand.

Just as the monster made its latest reaction, he turned around again, this time to its back. At the same time, one hand gripped the monster's head.

At the same time, another evil creature that had missed its target earlier nimbly adjusted its posture and pounced again, only to be dodged by Black Robo, and could only pounce on its own kind.

In this critical moment, the evil creature also changed its tactics, trying to brush past its kind while simultaneously hoping to use its claws to grab the black Robo behind it.

However, Black Rob was faster. His other hand popped out from the shoulder of the captured evil spirit, accurately grabbing the flying evil spirit's head. Then, following its momentum, he pulled and dragged it, while simultaneously turning his body and swinging his arm to deflect the frontal force of its charge, before dragging and throwing it away.

In this brief and seamless series of actions, he absorbed the two evil creatures into corpses that were shrunk several times in size, which he then casually tossed aside.

Moments later, the corpses decayed into fragments and broke apart, and were devoured by the microbial-level evil creatures in the lower-level evil mist.

Black Robb took a few steps to the evil creature that looked as if it had been hit by a dump truck, reached out his hand, and in less than two seconds, completely relieved its pain.

'Crack!' Poisonous green flames erupted around Sieg, and his earth elemental armor cracked and fell to the ground in the flames, shattering into dust.

Soon after, the transformation ended, the poisonous green flames disappeared, and Sieg stretched his shoulder joints a few times before continuing toward the location of the forbidden abomination.

Nearly ten such brief but intense encounters occurred along the way.

This is, after all, the lair of evil spirits. Without proper means of concealment, such things are prone to happen here. And this is still daytime; the situation would be even more dangerous at night.

Of course, the reason why Black Robb received such a warm welcome was also related to the forbidden creature's intrusion into the city of Lennarzer.

The monstrous creature alarmed the evil spirits. While they dared not provoke a clearly powerful creature, they would not hesitate to attack a small, elusive target like Black Robo.

After receiving several waves of casualties, Black Robb naturally ordered 3-2 Sig to prepare extra supernatural power ammunition.

Unfortunately, this was transformed using his divine soul power.

His spiritual power was woefully inadequate against the vast and ever-growing evil group.

Therefore, it's not a big problem for him to occasionally harvest some evil spirits and turn them into usable supernatural power, but it's not feasible for him to become the main force in harvesting the evil spirits.

The villains, represented by Fallen Gods and the Chaotic Ladder, are unable to reap the rewards of evil, which is one of their main problems.

This same problem also troubles Black Robo.

However, as time has passed and related research has deepened, a solution has begun to emerge.

Simply put, it involves organizing a large army of puppets into battle groups and equipping them with specialized harvesting equipment to wipe out the evil forces.

Of course, large-scale extermination will inevitably stimulate the evil forces, causing them to undergo some unpredictable changes, such as secondary mutations in the group, making them more dangerous, and making the conversion of evil energy more difficult.

Therefore, Heroborg did not rush to start the project, but first prepared to divide the area into pilot zones, observe the results, and summarize the experience.

These plans were originally progressing smoothly.

Then, a forbidden monster suddenly appeared, making the situation even more chaotic.

What Black Robb really wants to know now is whether the forbidden creature has been implicated in possessing the ability to harvest evil spirits.

If the answer is yes, then there is another type of competitor.

Forbidden creatures harvest evil and absorb its evil energy for their own use, which is theoretically a form of negative energy transformation. However, if their primary activity is to create killing and destruction, then the transformed supernatural power, and even the power that spreads throughout the world, will still be negative energy.

Such a cycle has no positive significance for this spacetime; it will only cause it to keep going in a vicious cycle, making it easy for the new spacetime created by the Elf King to overtake it.

Therefore, the second thing Black Robb wanted to confirm was whether the forbidden abomination was designed to destructively devour the prime material plane of this spacetime.

The true Great Old Ones are of this type, and even more thoroughly, not just the Material Plane, but the entire universe.

Encountering this universe-like microcosm, where each individual is like a petri dish in a biological laboratory, is like cutting a cake into small pieces—easier to swallow and digest. It's pure bliss.

Therefore, if the forbidden creatures truly possess some of the nature and abilities of the Great Old Ones, then guiding them to possess the instinct and specialized ability to destructively devour the Prime Material Plane becomes relatively easy to achieve.

If the forbidden creature truly possesses inferior qualities, then he will have to reconsider his strategy.
