All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Reverence for the blood of the ancient gods?

They want to make those in power bleed dry.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Si reached out and pressed her hand against the heavy door.

The heavy door seemed so vulnerable in the face of absolute power. The mechanisms in the wall gradually swayed and began to crumble. With a few cracking sounds, Zhou Si pushed the door open.

Ludwig, who was standing next to him, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, but ultimately did not comment on Zhou Si's actions in destroying the church building.

After all, his current identity is that of a knight who follows Zhou Si, not a holy sword hunter of the Healing Church.

As the gate opened, an old man who had long since died sat in a chair. He was the one who had entered the Sumerian ruins with Master William to discover the superior beings.

But after that, he went completely insane, and was thus assigned to guard the gate leading to the Forbidden Forest and Byrenvis.

Even after his death, he remained steadfast in his duty.

After passing the corpse, Zhou Si and his group suddenly stopped in their tracks as they looked down the spiral staircase.

"It seems we've found the right direction."

Looking at the increasingly dense red miasma below, Zhou Si said.

Aside from the Amedala and the elusive Orton, there are now three other superior beings whose locations they know for certain.

They were respectively Eudon and the Sumerian Queen's child, Meg.

A beautiful girl from the stars.

Their main target is the Moon Monster, which has developed some kind of symbiotic relationship with the Vaal Hazak.

The deep-sea hunters have set their sights on the cosmic beauty, while the Grand Master of Mego is already itching to charge in.

They have clearly hit the jackpot.

The conspicuous red mist is clearly the work of the Vaal Hazak, indicating that they are not far from the Moon Monster.

Everyone put on the gas masks that Melo had given them to prevent the miasma and spores from directly entering their bodies.

"Let's go."

A somewhat muffled voice came from inside the gas mask. Zhou Si nodded; he was the only one here who wasn't wearing a mask.

Because he doesn't really need it; the gas mask would only affect his ability to gather information.

But just in case, Zhou Si added a melody that was invalid in abnormal states for everyone.

After everything was ready, everyone went down the spiral staircase together.

The deeper he went, the thicker the red miasma became, and the pungent smell of rotting corpses filled Zhou Si's nostrils, causing him to frown.

These miasmas are not only toxic, but they also contain a large number of spores, and these spores are even more active than those they saw in the fishing village.

In just half a minute, a deep red 'outer garment' covered Zhou Si's body, and this outer garment was constantly absorbing nutrients from his body.

But they were soon separated by a layer of silvery-white scales.

After walking for several minutes, the group finally arrived at the Forbidden Forest.

The sky here was pitch black, not even the light of the blood moon could penetrate it. All around were twisted and withered trees. Although this forest was full of vegetation, it was far from being a place of life.

The beam of the flashlight pierced the dark forest like a sharp sword, but even so, the dangers lurking in the shadows still lurked and watched them with predatory eyes.

"The outside world has been completely swallowed up by wild beasts, but there isn't even a trace of a monster inside."

Ludwig pulled on the gas mask on his face. It was the first time he had worn such a thing, and he was very unaccustomed to it. His other hand was already gripping the hilt of the Moonlight Greatsword.

"Besides the miasma, I didn't see any of the plants that I had seen in the fishing village."

The lone bird carefully observed its surroundings with a flashlight, but indeed found no trace of the blood-red plants that had been born after absorbing life force.

"Perhaps it's because all the creatures here have died out?"

"We'll know if they're all dead or not once we try."

Zhou Si put down her flashlight and pointed to the building behind her:

“I have a simple and quick way, but you’ll have to go to the back of the line.”

Everyone was a little confused, but Lone Bird, who knew Zhou Si best, had already started running backwards with Azure Star, and Ludwig quickly followed.

The lone bird not only hid inside the building, but also climbed several floors up the spiral staircase it had come from.

He then knocked a small hole in the wall to keep an eye on the outside.

Seeing that Lone Bird and the others had retreated back into the building, Zhou Si took two steps forward and shouted loudly into the dark jungle at a volume comparable to a dragon's roar.

"If there are still any survivors inside, I advise you to run as far back as possible, or slip away now, otherwise it will be too late later."

Zhou Si's voice echoed throughout the forest. A few dozen seconds later, he saw a bald man with a cheeky expression running wildly toward the depths of the woods.

Zhou Si chuckled twice, then her gaze turned serious.

Crimson wings sprouted from Zhou Si's back. This was the first time he had ever done something like this, and to be honest, he was quite nervous.

With a flap of his wings, Zhou Si soared into the air, his dragon eyes gleaming in the darkness, but there was something even more dazzling than his eyes.

That was his throat, radiating a crimson light and containing terrifying heat.

Zhou Si's use and development of his own power is no longer as crude as it was in the Honkai World. The training he has received over the past few days has enabled him to combine the powers of different dragon species in a more harmonious way.

He broke off a small piece of the pure Originium given to him by the Doctor from the Hunter's Book and put it in his mouth.

A massive amount of Originium energy condensed in his chest, and the Dragon Energy Engine began to operate at full speed. Moreover, the silver-white scales on his body were gradually covered with orange-red crystals similar to those on Huihui's body.

Several wisps of blood-red flames ignited on Zhou Si's body, and the dragon energy within him had accumulated to a certain degree at this moment.

The next moment, crimson flames spewed from Zhou Si's throat, flying in a fan shape towards the forbidden forest below.

The forest, which was originally pitch black, was now completely illuminated.

In 1875, at Cambridge University, Romé watched as a haughty and aloof woman walked onto the graduation platform.

She had a pretty face and shoulder-length black hair; her coat and felt hat outfit attracted the attention of the teachers and students in the audience.

Her name is Sherlock Holmes.

Right under the noses of Cambridge students and faculty, she removed her pipe from her mouth and said with disdain and arrogance:

“From now on, the incompetent Scotland Yard can retire.”

……

"Yes, this is my childhood sweetheart and wife, and I..."

Lomu gently wiped the knife in his hand; the linen cloth, passing over the blade, gradually turned from gray to red.

"And I, I'm just an ordinary criminal."

Chapter 30: The Cosmic Beauty (20/20)

The flames of blood flickered in the Forbidden Forest. Zhou Si's fan-shaped fire lasted for less than 10 seconds; the energy from that small piece of source stone was only enough for him to achieve this.

Moreover, at this moment, Zhou Si's lungs, along with his throat and mouth, had completely turned into carbon. If he continued to spray, he would probably kill himself first.

However, the 10-second fan-shaped fire was already enough, and this was the first time Zhou Si had used this move.

The crimson flames had spread throughout the Forbidden Forest, and the monsters hiding in the darkness were swallowed up by the blood flames before they even had a chance to scream.

Everything in the Forbidden Forest turned to ashes in the blood flames.

The power of the Blood Flame was somewhat beyond Zhou Si's imagination. After all, it was the first time he had used this move, and he did not expect it to be so powerful.

Meanwhile, in another direction, the bald man who had barely escaped into Byrenvis couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the tragic scene behind him.

If he had run even a fraction slower, he probably would have turned to ashes too. This world is too dangerous; I'm never coming here again.

Muttering to himself, the bald man finally slipped away and disappeared into the nearby academy.

As the blood flames died down, Lone Bird and his companions emerged from the building.

"This...this is also..."

Ludwig's language system was already somewhat broken down. Looking at the bare ground and the embers in front of him, he couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings at that moment, no matter how much he knew.

Before this burst of blood flame, he had only regarded Zhou Si as someone comparable to a superior.

But after that burst of fire, he now has only one thought in his mind.

Those in power are nothing!

Who cares about all that blood therapy stuff? Dosage is everything!

But it wasn't just Ludwig who was frightened; even Lone Bird hadn't expected Zhou Si's destructive power to be so strong.

Judging from this fan-shaped flame alone, Zhou Si's destructive power is no less than that of an ordinary ancient dragon.

"cough cough..."

Seeing the lone bird's surprised look, Zhou Si raised her eyebrows at her smugly. Just as she was about to speak, she forgot that her throat hadn't fully recovered and coughed up a bunch of black charcoal.

Meanwhile, Azure Star had already circled around to Zhou Si's back, carefully observing the fire dragon wings behind him.

"Ooooooh!"

Azure Star opened its mouth wide and reached out to touch the miniature fire dragon's wings.

Both the texture and the pattern were exactly the same as the male Rathalos she had ever seen, and the wings would even react if she squeezed them hard.

"Hey, no, you can touch me, but don't bite me!"

Zhou Si quickly plucked the Azure Star from its wings.

Looking at the row of conspicuous teeth marks on its wings, Zhou Si felt that this guy's bite force was even stronger than that guy who liked to live with hunters.

After agreeing to show her the wings again, the group continued their search for the Moon Goddess and the Vaal Hazak.

This blood flame, a mixture of source stone and dragon energy, was indeed powerful. Not only did it wipe out all the living creatures in the forest, but it also left no trace of the miasma or spores.

After the obstruction in front of him disappeared, Zhou Si's gaze fell upon the distant ocean and the enormous building situated upon it.

Byronvis College, a paradise for researchers, a place that truly believes knowledge is above all else.

The aforementioned Master William is the dean of Byronvis College. He believes that the eyes are a means of communicating with superiors, and that humans can gain the wisdom of superiors through the thinking eye.

He was also the first to excavate Sumerian ruins and find traces of the rulers.

But his disciples are more famous than Master William.

Karl, who invented the Kaliel rune; Nicholas, the leader of the Mensis school; and Lawrence, the leader of the Healing Church.

"The Forbidden Forest had already been sealed off by Lawrence when I was still conscious. Byronvis's name is rarely heard in the Healing Church anymore, let alone Master William."

Ludwig tried hard to recall what he could remember about Byronvis and William, but unfortunately, as a hunter, he really didn't know much about academic matters.

After Zhou Si burned down the Forbidden Forest, the blood moon gradually emerged from the sky again, its red light shining on Byronvis's cold walls, along with the thin red miasma.

The entire academy exudes an eerie beauty.

It must be said that the blood-red miasma not only did not pose any threat to Zhou Si and the others along the way, but even guided them in the right direction, as if afraid of not being found.

Byrenvis is no longer the place it once was; its students are either dead, have run away, or have betrayed it.

The rest of them have either gone mad or become the excrement of wild beasts.

Even though most of the students had left, the inside of the school was much more 'lively' than it appeared from the outside.

Just by standing next to the academy, you can hear the roars that come from inside from time to time, as well as the monsters that bubble up from time to time.

All of this indicates that By this time, Byrenvis had already become a paradise for monsters.

Zhou Si, holding his insect club, led the way into the academy, with the Tide Hunter perched on his shoulder, constantly alert to any movement around them.
