Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 333 The Role of Tentacles

Bai Yang glanced at the parameters on the bio-engineering pod; it would be a long time before Doni woke up.

He regained his original appearance and strolled out of the house toward the restricted area on the mountaintop.

The area atop Abyss City remains as neat and beautiful as ever.

Bai Yang walks on the road, as long as he crosses an invisible boundary.

The black and white transition of the ground and surrounding buildings happened instantly.

According to his perception, even the air in this area felt fresher.

The demonic energy in the space seemed to have been filtered by some means, truly making it so that "even the air we breathe is different."

He walked to the highest plaza on the mountaintop and went directly into the Virtual Universe Company building.

This time, he paid special attention and noticed that the air inside the thirty-story building seemed to have been purified once again.

Even he could barely sense how much demonic energy remained.

The staff here already recognize Bai Yang in his current state.

Regardless of their level of cultivation, the indigenous employees all solemnly stepped back and bowed in respect.

Employees from outside the company also bowed slightly.

Many people were eager to step forward and greet them, but ultimately they didn't dare.

Bai Yang strode straight in, took the elevator to the thirtieth floor, and found Kunster's office.

As soon as he entered the room, Kunst stood up from behind his desk with a big smile.

"Your Highness Baiyang, welcome."

You really made the company look good this time.

Bai Yang smiled and shook his hand, saying:

"What do you mean?"

The two walked to the center of the office and sat down across the coffee table.

Kunst looked very relaxed and said:

"That Benson is actually the vice-commander of the Prison Clan worshippers. You captured him alive and pried a lot of information out of him."

You haven't been out these past few days, so you might not know.

The entire Abyss City and the various areas of the first level have actually undergone several rounds of sweeping.

I wonder how much trash they swept up.

Kunst's expression showed a hint of frustration.

Bai Yang asked, "Aren't you having any problems here?"

Kunst knew what he meant and chuckled:

"This is the company's territory, so logically we should bear more responsibility."

But this is an old problem, and it's not my fault.

The other four factions have always claimed autonomy, but this time it was their people who made a mistake.

From now on, I won't dare to speak loudly anymore. What am I afraid of?

As he spoke, he took out a small golden box and pushed it toward Bai Yang.

"This time, the Universe's No. 1 Bank branch has really lost money."

Your personal compensation is 5 mixed units, which Teresa will probably pay out of her own pocket.

Otherwise, this amount simply wouldn't be approved.

Bai Yang laughed and said, "That's really good."

No wonder the company agreed so readily; these terms are truly very sincere.

This amount was almost equivalent to a typical high-risk mission, and he was quite satisfied.

Bai Yang gently opened the box, inside was an anonymous bank card.

There was also a small, completely sealed box, and you couldn't see what was inside.

Kunst pointed to the small box and said:

"We could have discussed the compensation amount further."

But since Teresa brought it out herself, I couldn't make things difficult for her.

Bai Yang picked up the small box and found that it was sealed very securely; the protective film had to be broken before it could be opened.

"What is this?" he asked curiously.

Kunst smiled meaningfully and replied:

"You're really lucky this time."

Logically speaking, as geniuses who carry out missions, we have no right to reveal any secrets to you.

But if you obtain it by chance, that's of course an exception.

Bai Yang's heart stirred, and he asked:

"Is this the true secret of the Abyss of Purgatory?"

Kunst smiled but did not answer. Judging from his expression, Bai Yang knew that this was probably the case.

He quickly put the small box away, knowing that saying anything more would break the rules.

Kunst knew he must be eager to get back to his research, so he didn't try to keep him for pleasantries.

Bai Yang thanked the other party for their help and left in a hurry.

He walked much faster than usual along the way.

They quickly returned to their house and retrieved the small box from the other side of the living room.

Bai Yang removed the outer protective film and immediately felt a familiar aura.

"No way? Then I'll be at a disadvantage."

He carefully pushed open the inner lid, and a thick demonic aura immediately emanated from it.

At the bottom of the box, there was a tentacle lying there.

Bai Yang smiled bitterly to himself as the strange clone emerged from the ring, carrying another box.

The clone opened the box, and inside lay the tentacle that Luo had given him.

The two tentacles are different sizes, but they are clearly the same thing.

Bai Yang is now able to determine that this thing is most likely the parent body of that mysterious spore.

The so-called tentacles are actually vines on that plant.

However, it combines the characteristics of both plants and flesh-and-blood organisms, so it is generally not visible.

"Is this the secret of this place?"

He has a peculiar physique; not everyone else has it.

How can an ordinary person use this thing to become stronger?

The previous one belonged to Luo, so Bai Yang couldn't easily damage it.

Now this one was his own, and he curiously took it out and examined it carefully in his hand.

Kunst couldn't reveal too much, but the method of use certainly wouldn't be too difficult.

The tentacle was entirely purplish-black, and felt slippery and somewhat damp to the touch.

Its strength and toughness are both amazing. With a little effort, Bai Yang stretched the original seven or eight centimeters to more than one meter.

It looked perfectly fine, with no sign of breaking at all.

Bai Yang was completely baffled and could only hold it in his hand and think about it carefully.

After a moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the air.

When the box was opened, a large amount of demonic energy escaped, making the air quality in the entire living room worse.

But now, for some reason, the surrounding air has become clean again.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He released his mental energy to scan the surroundings and quickly discovered the problem.

In this environment filled with demonic energy, the two tentacles were simultaneously releasing and absorbing demonic energy.

During this process, the demonic energy itself also underwent some change and was no longer as terrifying as before.

Bai Yang released his mental power and immediately sealed all the doors and windows in the surrounding area, turning the entire room into a secret chamber.

Quietly observe the subsequent changes and see what happens.

In general, under the influence of these strange tentacles, although the amount of demonic energy was considerable, its concentration became increasingly thin.

Bai Yang felt that the overall changes to the room were almost complete.

It actively absorbed some demonic energy and began to sense the changes.

But they still couldn't clearly explain what exactly happened.

"drop!"

Just then, the biohazard pod next to him suddenly opened.

Donnie's cyborg transformation has finally been a success.

He sat up, puzzled, then sniffed the air and looked around in confusion.

"The smell here is so comforting."
