Among all the characters in Ark, I like Didi the most. Is it because she has white hair and red eyes?
Chapter 172: The Birth of the Singer
According to the captain's request, several people were divided into groups, and then they acted separately.
This is the member information of this adventure team:
Captain【Glorious Saint】lv55
Vice Captain [Dark Sword Ghost] lv55
【Storm Mage】lv51
【Son of Nature】lv53
[Baptist] lv52
【Missionary】lv51
[Lich] lv52
【Magic Sage】lv53
[Prince of Blood] lv54
【Blessed】lv53
The place where they landed was the center of this city module, so next, they explored in three different directions.
They carried flares with them. If they encountered the enemy and the distance was too far, the sound of the battle could not be detected, and this thing might be useful.
In Team One, this is the team where the captain, [Missionary], and [Lich] are.
"It's terrible here, the air is filled with the smell of death... Although it should be very convenient for me to cast spells, I really don't like this environment. Also, John, stay away from me. The smell of light on you makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
[Lich] Feeling the situation around him, a large-scale death incident must have occurred here not long ago. Although he didn't know the specific circumstances, the residents here must have died very, very tragically.
From his death vision, he could clearly observe that this street was filled with resentment and wailing.
"If this is reality, I will definitely perform a purification ritual on them. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before long, the dead here may turn into monsters. I don't know what happened in this secret realm before, but the one who did it must be a ruthless character."
If it wasn't for the need to ensure his condition when encountering the enemy next time, Missionary John would probably have been unable to resist praying for the dead here.
"You better be careful and concentrate. Although I can't feel the specific situation now and I haven't received any revelation, there is something terrifying in this city that is gradually growing stronger."
The captain, [Glorious Saint], is the one with the strongest perception in the team. Moreover, his profession also has the ability to predict the future in a small range (not necessarily accurate).
And what he felt now was...
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
In a place different from the direction of the three teams, in an empty underground area of Che City, inside a coffin-like machine, a white figure's body began to undergo terrible changes due to the operation of the machine.
The clothes were torn, feathers appeared on the body, the face that was originally a human began to become slender and pointed, a beak grew, and the arms gradually turned into wings...
Outside the instrument, white mist, or dust, began to spread.
This will be the beginning of a disaster. After the dust comes into contact with the surrounding environment, it will quickly gather, crystallize, and grow on the metal walls, turning this place into a forest of source stone.
As these Originium crystals appeared, the strange white mist began to spread towards the area on the ground.
These mists seemed to have life and quietly approached the integration movements that were hiding nearby.
Of course, no one knew all this.
When that time comes and the "Singer" is born, this pitiful soul will meet its own end.
(To be honest, I feel like the storyline between Faust and Mephistopheles is really full of gay love...)
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
On the second team, this is where the vice-captain, the Storm Mage, and the Blessed One are.
Unlike the captain's place, they encountered quite a few infected people from the Integration Movement along the way.
"Pfft."
After spotting the adventurers, they started charging towards them, but as the deputy captain drew his sword, the headless body fell down.
Then, the corpse dissolved and turned into a rough piece of Originium (material).
A few adventurers did not mind the low level of this thing. They picked it up, wiped it clean, and then put it back into their backpacks.
"...How many of them are there? Aren't these guys scared? This is so troublesome."
This is a complaint from the Storm Mage.
He could feel the air flow around him. No infected person could escape his perception, and their only fate was to be chopped to pieces by the wind blades.
"There's something wrong with these guys. Look, the enemies we encountered about a minute ago are the kind that won't run away at all. The crystal matter on their bodies has grown severely and has become like protruding spikes... Host, this name is interesting."
Through identification skills, they certainly also know the information of these enemies.
"There are more and more of these things. If nothing unexpected happens, someone should be controlling these host soldiers and trying to stop us from getting close. So, could the mastermind behind this be the "Singer" we are looking for?"
As he spoke, the deputy captain swung his sword again, destroying a group of host soldiers and the building they were in.
It is indeed comfortable here. The deputy captain vented his frustrations about being in a secret realm above and having to be restrained in order to protect the city module.
"I'll chop you up, chop you up... It feels so good. Does the mastermind seem to be anxious? The host soldiers here seem to have gone berserk. In this state, even if we don't attack, they probably won't survive for long."
"It looks like it should be a healing or auxiliary ability. According to the secret realm information from Yan Country, the corresponding secret realm of the "Source Stone" series may be Mephisto, a cadre of the Integration Movement?"
"It is very likely that we and those Russians have encountered enemies such as Frost Star and King Slayer mentioned in the intelligence before. So, is it possible that the "Singer" is a monster created by Mephisto using Originium technology?"
Several people felt that the deputy captain's guess was very likely, so they quickened their pace, planning to rush over to find out what was going on and solve the secret realm as soon as possible.
In fact, this is not the place where the singer is.
This was the place where Mephistopheles and Faust had fought against the enemy before, and those host soldiers were also created before, but as time went by and they lost Mephistopheles' control, they went berserk.
So, they had made this trip in vain.

Chapter 173: The Singer and the Originium Forest
The three teams had already investigated almost all of the areas in the direction they were in, not even sparing the passing Integration Movement soldiers.
However, they didn't encounter the singer, so they had to go back the same way, reunite, and then look in other directions.
"Captain, how is it, have you found any clues?"
"That's about right. We captured a few Reunion soldiers who were still sober along the way. After a little interrogation, they said there were originally two Reunion cadres here, Mephisto and Faust.
It’s just that Faust had been killed earlier, and Mephistopheles ran away and now no one knows where he is.
Considering Mephisto's ability to create host soldiers, it is possible that the singer was also created by him using the Originium technique..."
"I can sense a dangerous aura, and it's getting stronger. If nothing unexpected happens, the singer is not in its complete form yet. We'd better find him quickly and interrupt his evolution. That way, we can fight him more easily."
"Okay, that's it. Let's change direction and continue..."
Before the captain finished speaking, they suddenly felt a powerful presence.
"That place isn't very far away. It's underground, isn't it? I really haven't considered it before."
Since they had found the suspected target, the adventurers did not disperse, and all ten of them headed there together.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
Let's go back a few minutes.
The place where Mephisto is located, now with the further mutation of Mephisto inside the machine, dangerous white poisonous Originium crystals are growing in large quantities, wrapping up this place.
And that terrible fog also came to the surface.
On the ground, several Reunion soldiers who had narrowly escaped death from the adventurers (actually, no one cared) gathered here to take a short rest.
By the way, let's discuss our next plans.
"Hey, man, are those new guys here to deal with us too? It's so scary. I feel that even our leader..."
"What are you talking about? Pay attention."
"Oh, yes. But what should we do now? If we are unlucky enough to run into them, I saw my friend get cut into two pieces in an instant."
"That's why I brought you here. I used to be a subordinate of the King Slayer. I heard that those guys from Rhodes Island have a secret base in this place. It's right here. I think it should be very safe down there."
"I see. Speaking of which, it's really dark down there. Is there any danger in there?"
An Integration Movement soldier looked over there, but there was only darkness, which made people feel a little scared.
"Those people wouldn't do anything in the place where they stay... Let's go in."
However, before they entered, they saw the white mist spreading out.
"What is this... Wait, this looks like Mephisto's Originium Technique? No way, why are we so unlucky? Let's run, I don't want to become that kind of ghost thing."
Seeing the situation, the soldiers planned to escape, but it was too late.
These mists were not exactly the same as Mephisto's previous Originium Techniques. They also contained terrible corrosiveness.
Just touching their legs, the flesh on their feet began to fester, the muscles dissolved, and were replaced by white Originium.
"No, help me, I don't..."
Losing the ability to move and falling to the ground, they could only watch as the mist enveloped them before their bodies gradually lost consciousness.
"Ho ho ho ho ho."
After being completely enveloped by the mist for a few seconds, those guys stood up again, but they no longer looked like humans.
The muscles all over the body atrophied, the skin turned shiny white, and the face lost its facial features and turned into a white plane.
There are protruding Originium crystals everywhere, sharp and hard.
They have become the Singer's soldiers: Originium mutant lv40.
As the fog spread further, the corpses and even the flesh and blood fragments left on the ground began to mutate and turned into infected monsters.
Moreover, the Originium crystals can further grow around it, turning this place into an oversized Originium mine.
No one knows, in such a place, if one can resonate with all the Originium, to what extent that person's Originium skills will be enhanced.
When the Originium forest here reached a radius of about one kilometer, the singer who had been sleeping opened his eyes.
It seemed to have lost its memory of its original life as Mephistopheles, and its empty eyes made it unclear what it was looking at.
Then, relying on its own physical instincts, it affects everything in the Originium Forest.
The fog spread faster and the scope of the Originium Forest expanded further.
The mutants begin to go into a state of frenzy, and they will attack all other units that enter the area.
The singer's awakening and the powerful aura he exuded were also felt by the adventurer.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
Back to the present, following the perception of the breath, the adventurer also came to the edge of the poisonous source stone mist.
"This is it. It's very likely that the 'Singer' we are looking for is inside. However, there is something wrong with this fog..."
In order to test the situation, [Son of Nature] summoned a C-rank bear monster and ordered it to approach.
The bear monster was obviously scared, but had to enter because of its master's order.
As soon as it stepped into the mist, it showed signs of intense pain, hammering the ground repeatedly and looking as if it was having trouble breathing.
Immediately afterwards, some white crystals broke through the skin and grew out.
After struggling for a minute, it died. The corpse further grew and crystallized, and then began to move again. However, as soon as it made a little movement, it was chopped into pieces by the captain.
The adventurers began to study the cause of its death.
“Well, white crystals of varying sizes have appeared in various parts of the body, similar to the state of Originium, but more active.
This thing enters the body through the respiratory tract and devours its flesh and blood. It is speculated that wounds should also be invaded.
Why did it turn out like this in the end? This might be an Originium skill of an infected person, and the resurrection effect should be the effect of the ability. "
"Anyway, once we get in, we'll use magic to cut off contact with the outside world. This is a large enemy position, so be careful."
