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

He was about to turn off the light, but it was too late.

boom!

A loud crash came from the entrance of the mine, as half of the rock wall was forcefully torn open by a huge, thick hand.

Gravel rolled down, and moonlight shone into the mine shaft.

A giant ape, tens of meters tall, stood at the cave entrance, looking down at the people inside.

The mountain demon grinned, a smile that, in the eyes of Victor and his companions, was more terrifying than that of a demon.

Chen Mo froze, thinking to himself, "What the hell kind of monster is this?"

The next second, a black figure stepped out from the shadows next to the mountain demon.

Black Tiger King coldly stared at the group in the mine and said in a gruff voice, "The master has ordered that all human communication devices be handed over. Anyone who resists will die."

The mine was deathly quiet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Viktor threw down his weapon, raised his hands, and said, "I surrender."

Chen Mo's eyes widened: "Victor!"

Victor snapped, "Shut up! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

He looked at the Black Tiger King, his voice trembling: "Lord Tiger King, we are handing over all our equipment: cell phones, satellite communicators, tablets, batteries, solar charging panels, everything."

The Black Tiger King didn't speak, but stared at the group with a sinister look. Just then, Victor noticed that the Black Tiger King didn't seem to be paying attention to him.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a psionic anesthetic needle popped out of his sleeve, shooting it directly into the Black Tiger King's eye.

Xuan Ku's expression changed drastically: "No!"

However, it was too late. The Black Tiger King did not dodge at all. When the tranquilizer dart was shot in front of it, a black demonic aura shattered the dart.

The next second, the Black Tiger King disappeared from the spot.

puff!

Viktor's head flew off.

Blood splattered on the mine walls, and Chen Mo was dumbfounded. He sat down on the ground with a thud.

He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "I surrender, please don't kill me, I surrender!"

The Black Tiger King flicked the blood off its claws: "Who else?"

No one spoke. Chen Mo's face turned pale, and even breathing became difficult. He finally realized that this was not a negotiation at all.

When facing a powerful beast like the Black Tiger King, its mere aura was enough to shatter their spirits.

Chen Mo quickly said, "I know the location of the ancient ruins underground in Black Dragon Mountain. I have an ancient map. I can trade with your master."

Black Tiger King looked at him, his expression somewhat mocking: "A deal?"

As if grasping at a straw, Chen Mo quickly said, "That's right, you don't understand the human world, nor do you understand ancient ruins."

"I have data, maps, and research reports from the Asta Group. If you let me live, I can help you find the ruins."

Black Tiger King and Mountain King looked at Chen Mo with strange expressions, as if he were an idiot. Could the ruins he mentioned be the ancient city in the underground world?

The Black Tiger King coldly said, "Master doesn't need you to negotiate. If you're useful, you'll live; if you're not, you'll die."

Chen Mo shuddered. He was already regretting coming to Black Dragon Mountain. He should have known better than to listen to those idiots from the Asta Group. Life in the human city would have been so much better.

Thinking about this, he suddenly began to miss those models with their graceful figures.

At this moment, Xuanku put his hands together and said, "This humble monk is willing to hand over all his possessions, only asking to leave this place."

The Black Tiger King looked at him: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Xuan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid, so this humble monk dares not lie."

The Black Tiger King stared at him for a moment; the monk's aura was very strange.

He didn't look strong, only at the peak of the late stage of the first tier, but the Black Tiger King sensed a trace of pollution-related aura emanating from him.

It seems that the other party must have come into contact with the contaminated creatures in the restricted area and survived.

The Black Tiger King did not kill him immediately, but said, "Take them all back."

With a low growl, Shan Kui stretched out his large hand and lifted both of them up like he was catching chicks.

Chen Mo didn't dare to struggle at all and could only let Shan Kui take him away. Xuan Ku closed his eyes and whispered a Buddhist chant.

Black Tiger King picked up the backpack, tablet, cell phone, satellite phone, and solar charging panel from the ground and took them away.

Not long after, at the shore of Black Dragon Lake, Shan Kui simply dumped the two humans on the lakeshore.

Chen Mo and Xuan Ku were so dizzy from the fall that they didn't dare to breathe, because when they looked up, they saw the towering blue lotus in the center of the lake.

Seven lotus leaves covered the lake surface, surrounded by a bluish mist.

That aura was countless times more terrifying than the one they had felt last time.

Chen Mo's face turned deathly pale, and he almost instinctively knelt on the ground. He and Xuan Ku were both stunned.

Only one thought occupied my mind: live capture?

How did those lunatics at Asta Group even come up with this idea? They think they can capture something like that in the Black Dragon Mountain restricted area?

Chu Zhou woke up from his cultivation state and scanned the area with his spiritual power, discovering Chen Mo and Xuan Ku.

He was familiar with these two people. Last time, when a large number of awakened people from the human community invaded Black Dragon Mountain, Chen Mo and Xuan Ku's team were among them.

At the time, Chu Zhou felt they were too weak and didn't pay them any attention. He never expected that Black Tiger King and his group would capture these two.

What are you doing at Black Dragon Mountain?

Chu Zhou's voice echoed in Chen Mo's and Chen Mo's minds.

Chen Mo's face turned pale instantly. He quickly said, "We are employed by the Asta Group and have come to investigate the supernatural life form in Black Dragon Mountain."

"We mean no harm, we just want to know what's happening in this world."

Chu Zhou's expression turned cold, and he sneered, "You've already reached the forbidden zone, and you still want to deceive me? You're courting death."

Chen Mo's voice stopped abruptly. The next moment, the Azure Lotus Domain directly suppressed him, and Chen Mo lay on the ground, his bones creaking.

He screamed in agony, and seeing this, Xuan Ku quickly said, "They want samples, live samples, the flesh and blood of the Azure Lotus Clan, samples of spiritual plants, spiritual spring water, and preferably, your video footage."

"The Asta Group believes you possess some kind of evolutionary power, and they want to study you."

Chu Zhou's aura instantly turned cold, and the blue mist on the lake surface surged.

Little Jinbao also bristled, and retorted angrily, "Studying our master? You guys have some nerve!"

Shan Kui let out a low growl and raised his hand, intending to kill Chen Mo.

Chu Zhou said, "Don't rush to kill them. Keep those who know how to use these devices, and kill those who don't."

Chen Mo's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he quickly said, "Lord Azure Lotus Demon King, please don't kill me! I can use satellite communicators, tablets, and charging devices. I can also translate Asta Group's documents."

Xuanku remained silent for a moment, then said, "This humble monk does not know how to use these things."

Shan Kui raised his hand, and Xuan Ku's eyelids twitched. He quickly continued, "Although this humble monk does not know how to operate those electronic devices, this humble monk can sense evil spirits and pollution."

"This humble monk once entered a polluted ruin and came out alive."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhou's heart stirred instantly, and he looked at the monk with great interest. This monk was quite interesting.

It should be understood that even human martial arts awakeners cannot escape unscathed when faced with polluted auras; they can easily be assimilated by the strange auras.

However, Xuanku was able to purify the eerie aura, suggesting that this monk harbored a secret.

Since there are secrets, we should take advantage of them. Once we've squeezed every last secret out of them, it's not too late to kill them.

Xuan Ku realized that Chu Zhou did not continue to speak. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Oh no, was the demon king going to kill him?

The thought of having 108 concubines on the human side filled Xuan Ku with despair.

And what about the incense money that the wealthy gave him? Does he not have a chance to spend it in this lifetime?

Fortunately, Chu Zhou's next words relieved Xuan Ku and the other person.

Chu Zhou said, "Black Tiger King, keep him under guard for now."

"As for you, you will now begin teaching Xiao Jinbao how to use the equipment."

Chu Zhou looked at Chen Mo, who was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

"Teach it?"

He pointed at Little Golden Treasure and said, "Even a strange bird wants to learn communication? You expect me, a human, to teach a bird?"

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

This thing is practically a spirit!

Little Jinbao immediately protested: "What? Can't Bird Master learn?"

Wei Chenmo quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "Yes, of course, I can, absolutely."

Little Jinbao was satisfied and nodded, saying, "You know what's good for you."

Then, Xiao Jinbao picked up a cell phone and placed it in front of Chen Mo.

"Come on, teach Grandpa Bird how to use the light-up brick."

Chen Mo stared at the talking golden bird in front of him, feeling a wave of numbness wash over him.

He was a top expert trained by the Asta Group to do intelligence work in China, but he never dreamed that one day he would be forced by a bird to teach it how to use a mobile phone.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xiao Jinbao immediately glared at him and said in a deep voice, "What are you standing there for? Turn it on!"
