Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Seeing that Xiao Jinbao had taken on a follower, Chu Zhou found it amusing, but it also felt good; this guy would have a companion to talk about in the future.

They're not afraid of bothering them anymore.

Having resolved this matter, Chu Zhou suddenly thought of something. Although Black Dragon Mountain had become a forbidden area.

However, at present, the relatives of the Black Dragon Mountain family are unaware of the situation in the human world.

At present, the most important thing is to obtain intelligence. The simplest and most direct way to understand humanity is through communicators.

With this in mind, Chu Zhou said directly, "Little Jinbao."

When Little Jinbao heard Chu Zhou call it, it quickly replied, "Master, your subordinate is here!"

Chu Zhou asked, "Have you ever seen a cell phone used by humans?"

Little Jinbao asked, puzzled, "A cell phone?"

It tilted its head and thought for a long time before saying, "Master, are you talking about that glowing brick in the hands of humans? I remember some humans pressing that thing against me before they died, and some humans ran around holding up the glowing brick while shouting something like 'live broadcast'."

Chu Zhou found it rather funny when he heard Xiao Jinbao mention glowing bricks, and he said, "Pretty much."

Little Jinbao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Master, is that what you want?"

Chu Zhou said, "In the future, if Black Dragon Mountain needs to understand the human world, it will have to rely on human communication devices. Those devices will be of great help to Black Dragon Mountain."

Little Jinbao puffed out his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Master, I'll go and snatch a few glowing bricks for you right away."

Chu Zhou asked, "You know how to use it?"

Little Jinbao froze for a moment, then said confidently, "No, but Grandpa Bird can bring it back."

Chu Zhou was speechless. He wasn't at ease letting this silly bird go out alone.

After all, this guy talks too much and likes to show off.

If it flies over a human city and shouts a few words, the Ninth Bureau will probably have another headache.

Another issue is that their large size makes movement inconvenient.

Chu Zhou's consciousness swept across the outer perimeter of Black Dragon Mountain, finally landing on Black Tiger King and Mountain Demon, and he said, "Black Tiger King, Mountain Demon."

Black Tiger King respectfully said, "Master, please give your orders."

Chu Zhou said, "Take a team of alien beasts to the outskirts and search for human communication devices. Bring back anything you can. If you encounter any humans, kill any that dare to resist."

Those who do not resist and know how to use the equipment will remain for the time being.

Black Tiger King bowed his head: "Understood, subordinate."

Shan Kui grinned, clearly already quite excited.

Little Jinbao asked anxiously, "Master, where's Bird Master?"

Chu Zhou said, "You will be in charge of aerial reconnaissance."

Little Jinbao was immediately satisfied: "I understand, Bird Master is the Minister of Information."

The mountain demon let out a low growl.

Little Jinbao immediately turned his head: "You big dummy, do you even know what an information department is?"

Chu Zhou ignored their bickering.

Just then, Little Jinbao remembered something and said, "Master, speaking of glowing bricks, Bird Master seemed to have actually seen a few living people when he was on patrol a few days ago."

"They carried many strange things on their backs, including small flying iron birds and boxes that emitted red light."

Chu Zhou's mind stirred: "Where?"

Little Jinbao flapped its wings and flew up, pointing towards the north side of Black Dragon Mountain.

"Over there in the abandoned mine, but the fog is too thick there, so I'm too lazy to go."

Chu Zhou seemed to be deep in thought, looking at the abandoned mining area.

He suddenly remembered that a human team had infiltrated the outskirts of Black Dragon Mountain some time ago.

The situation in Heilongshan was chaotic at the time.

In the ninth round, there were too many things to deal with: missiles, helicopters, underground ancient cities, strange rocks, and so on. Chu Zhou didn't have time to deal with those people specifically.

Now it seems that those people are still alive?

"Go and take a look, bring back those devices, and keep the others who can be used by everyone, and kill those who can't."

A cold glint flashed in the Black Tiger King's eyes: "Yes."

They soon left with Shan Kui.

……

Deep in an abandoned mining area on the north side of Heilong Mountain.

This place was originally a mine that had been abandoned for many years.

Before the spiritual energy revived, only a few adventure enthusiasts would occasionally come here. After the second spiritual energy tide, this mining area was completely changed.

Large amounts of moss covered the outer walls of the mine, and wild grasses with a bluish glow grew from the crevices in the rocks.

Meanwhile, deep inside the mine, several figures were huddled in a makeshift camp.

The team that originally consisted of seven people is now down to four.

Victor sat by the wall, pale-faced, with a bandage wrapped around his right shoulder. He gritted his teeth as he re-secured the wound, muttering under his breath, "Damn it, I've had enough. This damn restricted area, if I stay here any longer, I'll go crazy."

Viktor's eyes were filled with fear. Their expedition team consisted of seven people. Anna and Matthew were dead, and the other two members of the expedition team were dead.

Upon entering the mountains, they were attacked by a pack of mutated wolves, resulting in heavy casualties.

Currently, only Victor, Xuan Ku, and Chen Mo remain in the expedition team employed by the Asta Group.

On the other side, Chen Mo was staring at the encrypted tablet in his hand. The signal on the screen was intermittent, and his eyes were bloodshot. Hearing Viktor's words, he said, "It'll be soon. I've already sent a message to headquarters. They'll be able to send someone to pick us up soon. As long as we can escape this time, the Asta Group will give us unimaginable rewards."

Victor sneered, "Payment? Do you think you'll live to get it?"

"Seven people came in, now only three are left. Anna was dragged into the woods by vines, and there wasn't even a bone left."

"Matthew was even carried away by that strange golden bird, and we still don't know if he's dead or alive."

"And Lucas, he just glanced in the direction of the lake and went crazy. You're telling me the corporation will send people to rescue us? This is a restricted area. Do you think they'd go against the Dragon Kingdom and trespass into a restricted area?"

At this point, a flicker of fear crossed Viktor's eyes; he could not forget the enormous lotus shadow deep within the thick fog.

I can never forget the feeling that my soul was being crushed. God, what a terrifying existence that was.

Even now, he still gets leg cramps, and even though they are currently only on the outer edge of the penalty area, it is still terrifying.

Chen Mo's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Victor, you've been scared out of your wits."

"We're not going to the core of Black Dragon Lake; we just want to collect samples from the mutated creatures in the outer areas."

"The place marked on this ancient map is definitely related to the underground ruins of Heilong Mountain."

"If we take the samples out, we can change the entire field of extraordinary research."

Beside the two, in a corner, the gray-robed monk Xuanku sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his expression equally unpleasant.

Hearing the two talking, he sighed and said, "I advised you that you could not stay here any longer, but you still wouldn't listen."

Chen Mo frowned and asked, "Master Xuanku, are you also withdrawing?"

Xuan Ku glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "This humble monk accepts money to help you sense evil spirits, not to accompany you to your deaths."

"The being deep within Black Dragon Mountain is beyond my ability to sense. If we go any further, we will surely die."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo clenched his fists in frustration.

Just then, a noise came from outside the mine. Viktor immediately became alert and took out a dagger made of a special material from his back.

"Don't speak."

The surroundings fell silent instantly, a silence that was extremely unsettling. Xuan Ku's expression changed, and he clasped his hands together, whispering, "A powerful demon has arrived."

Chen Mo immediately grabbed his backpack and said, "Quick, turn off the lights."
