Please be my partner.

The Golden Rowling advanced silently, and soon the surroundings became strange, with blood mist floating around, filled with ominous things.

These blood mists did not originate from the Golden Rowling, but were the result of the surrounding environment.

The Golden Rowling sailed in it, not only did not feel uncomfortable at all, but instead felt like a fish in water.

In the captain's room, Mellen was surrounded by layers of blood light, mixed with faint colorful halos. These were all prepared to cover up his breath and prevent it from being sensed in advance by the origin of the sea of blood.

They advanced like this for several hours. During this time, the route of the Golden Rowling was irregular. Sometimes it seemed to be moving in a straight line, and sometimes it seemed to be spinning in place.

As the blood mist in the environment gradually weakened, an island appeared in front.

This is a small island covering an area of about 200 square kilometers. It is oval in shape and was probably formed by an underwater volcanic eruption. There is a small crater in the center of the island.

Unlike ordinary islands that appear lush and green at first glance, this strange island is filled with a sense of death. There are many plants growing on it, but they are all bare and look weird.

The island was extremely quiet, and there seemed to be no living creatures.

Normal people would unconsciously feel fear and panic just by looking at this strange island.

Even Carl, the controller of the ghost ship, felt an instinctive resistance in his heart when approaching this strange island.

However, he quickly overcame it and said to Mellen, "Mr. Mellen, you are here to find something, right? I am willing to serve you."

Mellen shook his head and said, "Although you are the captain of the ghost ship, you are ultimately controlling the ghost ship with the help of the dagger in your hand. You are not truly assimilated by the ghost ship. It's okay in the ghost ship, but if you set foot on this island, you will probably face considerable danger."

Karl said with a firm look: “Mr. Mellen, I’m not afraid!”

Melen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I've seen your loyalty, but you have more important tasks in the future. There's no need to take risks here. Don't you agree, Old Zhu?"

"Of course, Your Majesty!"

Colorful light circulated in the void, and a middle-aged man with a slightly dejected look condensed into shape from nothing.

Karl's pupils suddenly shrank. He was surprised by the way the middle-aged man appeared, but more importantly, he addressed Mr. Mellen in his mouth...

Your Majesty?!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Carl's mind.

Melen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some emotion. The latter's name was Zhu Zhicheng, a character from one of the many fairy tales written by the Chinese fairy tale king, called "Biochemical Nanny".

At the same time, he is also a staunch "kingdom faction" and has made great efforts to help Meren become the king of the fairy tale kingdom.

Unfortunately, because the fairy tale itself is not widely sung, Zhu Zhicheng only has the strength of the third level limit, which is roughly equivalent to the level of a pillar of the kingdom.

When he first saw Zhu Zhicheng, Melen couldn't even guess who he was. It was only after learning about his experience that he vaguely remembered the fairy tale he had read as a child.

When it comes to exploration ability, there are many people in the fairy tale kingdom who are good at this, but Melen does not intend to send them out to explore the strange island for him.

Any fairy tale character is connected to the fairy tale kingdom. When they are materialized into the real world by Melen, if they die unexpectedly, Melen can easily resurrect them in the fairy tale kingdom. At most, they will be slightly weak for a while after resurrection.

However, the strange island in front of us is different. The original power of the sea of blood in it is too high-end. Once affected by its power, it may pollute the origin of the fairy tale characters, causing the fairy tale kingdom to lose this character forever.

Faced with this possibility, Mellen naturally would not let the fairy tale characters take risks.

Fortunately, he also has a way to replace him, such as Zhu Zhicheng who controls a biochemical army.

Although the biochemically modified humans have limited abilities, they are quite powerful. In the entire biochemical army, most of them are at the first and second levels, and there are also some at the third level.

Moreover, because they are cloned humans, they can be mass-produced, making them the most qualified cannon fodder.

Under the command of Zhu Zhicheng, teams of well-trained and fully armed biochemically modified humans were scattered on the strange island.

Soon, pieces of information were gathered together.

"Team 1 is currently exploring Area A1. The fog on the island is highly hallucinogenic. Filters have been activated and are expected to last for 2 hours and 13 minutes."

"Team 3 is currently exploring Area B3. The trees in this area are self-aware and will attack anyone who enters. We've already lost seven members. If we continue exploring, the remaining personnel are expected to be wiped out within 15 minutes. Requesting updated instructions."

"Team 9 is currently exploring area D5. This area is infested with a type of blood-colored moss that secretes a type of hyphae with strong corrosive and paralyzing effects. Once these hyphae come into contact with flesh and skin, they will rapidly grow. Currently, all members of the team... have..."

"..."

It can be said that every inch of advancement on the strange island is accompanied by a large number of sacrifices.

Of course, the exploration team is not limited to the biochemical army. There are many fairy tale characters like Zhu Zhicheng, such as Pinocchio's mechanical puppet, the Rubik's Cube Building that can create strange life, and the Pied Piper who can control mice.

However, the subjective initiative of their "summoned creatures" is far lower than that of biochemically modified humans, so the exploration of the strange island is still mainly based on the biochemical army.

Melen handed over their command to Zhu Zhicheng to cooperate with the actions of the biochemical army, and the efficiency is steadily improving.

Time passed slowly while waiting.

Beside Mellen, Xiao Honglian stared intently at the direction of the strange island, with a look of desire occasionally flashing across her clear eyes.

Melen gently stroked the little guy's head and said, "Be patient. We'll find the source of the sea of blood soon."

Little Honglian purred and rubbed her little head against Mellen's hand.

In the middle of the strange island, a small team of biochemically modified humans rushed out of the twisted forest. The original team of ten people now has only seven people left.

After the team leader briefly reported the situation, he began to inspect.

Soon, he looked at one of the team members and saw a blood mark on his ankle.

The captain said: "0319, report your current physical condition."

0319 said, "Foreign objects have entered my bloodstream and are rapidly spreading by devouring my blood. Part of my left leg is now necrotic, and my mobility has decreased by 28%. Even if I partially cut off my blood circulation, they can still bypass it by eroding my cells."

"Emergency antibodies are ineffective, immune cell resistance is ineffective, and glucocorticoids are ineffective... The estimated survival time is 12 minutes and the time to be active is 4 minutes."

The captain nodded and said indifferently: "In that case, go ahead and explore the way."

0319 said: "Yes!"

After saying that, 0319 quickly walked to the front of the team and kept some distance from the other team members.

In front of us is a low shrub. These shrubs have no leaves, but instead are covered with dense clusters of blood-red hairs. These hairs sway in the wind, looking extremely creepy.

0319 would of course not directly touch these things that looked extremely strange, but as he approached, these bushes seemed to sense him and began to tilt in his direction.

Then, these blood-colored hairs suddenly shot out and instantly turned 0319 into a hedgehog.

After 0319 died, his body quickly shriveled up, and the hairs on his body became increasingly blood-red, as if they had eaten and drunk enough.

A breeze blew, and the blood-colored fluff floated in the wind and returned to the bushes again.

Next, after trying various methods including attacking, and sacrificing two team members, the captain finally confirmed the general information about these shrubs.

First of all, any attack will cause a stress response in them. Once they are hit by those blood-colored hairs, even if it is just a very small amount, the blood in their bodies will be sucked dry in a short period of time.

Moreover, these blood-colored hairs are extremely sharp and can easily penetrate even the hard armor worn by biochemically modified humans.

Secondly, these shrubs rely on wind flow to search for enemies.

That is to say, once there is abnormal wind flow near them, they will attack in that direction.

After the captain found out the strength of the wind sensed by the bushes, he immediately made a plan.

Normally, any action will generate wind, the only difference is the size.

However, if a life form can always move at a very slow and constant speed, it can reduce the wind generated to the weakest level. Please refer to the sloth for this.

Of course, it is difficult for normal people to do this, especially when they are surrounded by dangerous bushes and can die if they are not careful.

However, biochemically modified humans are not ordinary people. They are not only rational and cold-blooded, but also have efficient execution capabilities.

Under the captain's arrangement, the remaining team members stepped into the bushes one by one at an extremely slow pace. From a distance, they really looked like "lightning".

There is a considerable distance between them, which can effectively prevent one of them from having a problem and causing the death of his teammates.

In the end, except for one team member who tripped due to bad luck, the other three people, including the captain, managed to pass through the bushes safely.

Chapter 151 Swallowing the Origin of the Blood Sea ( monthly votes plus additional content from last month)

Time is still passing.

Although the Fairy Tale United Legion suffered heavy losses, the results were remarkable.

By the third day after Melen arrived on this strange island, they had already explored three safe routes to reach the volcano in the center of the island.

The summoned creatures followed the paths opened up by blood, swarmed towards the center of the island, and began their final exploration.

The strange island itself seems to be showing some stress reactions due to the intrusion of outsiders.

The environment on the island became increasingly bizarre and distorted.

In such a harsh environment, a small team of biochemically modified humans, consisting of only two people left, climbed to the top of the crater in the center of the island.

However, after basic investigation, they discovered that this place, which they originally thought was the most likely hiding place of the origin of the sea of blood, actually had no trace of the latter.

This situation was quickly reported to Mellen, who shook his head helplessly and said, "The primary objective has been denied. It seems even greater sacrifices are unavoidable."

Zhu Zhicheng looked calm as he began to re-plan according to the topographic map of the strange island that had been explored.

After receiving the latest instructions, all exploration teams operating on the island began to conduct saturation exploration towards the second, third, fourth... and other targets.

Another day passed.

A biochemically modified human appeared near a small lake at the foot of the volcano.

At this time, the equipment on his body was severely damaged, and many scars could be seen on the exposed skin, as if there were bugs crawling inside his body, moving towards his brain.

Looking at the shimmering lake in front of him without any abnormality, the only remaining biochemically modified human in the team jumped in without hesitation.

As he entered, the originally clear lake water immediately became turbid.

Looking closely, these turbid substances turned out to be some blood-colored particles the size of a needle tip. As the lake water was stirred, more and more blood-colored particles emerged, as if they had originally been lurking in the lake water in a transparent state.

The blood-colored particles quickly attached themselves to the biochemically modified man like sharks smelling blood, greedily sucking his flesh and blood.

The biochemically modified man tried hard to use his body to block these blood-colored particles and protect his brain as much as possible, so that he could hold on for a little longer, even if it was only a few seconds.

Finally, as he continued to sink, at the last moment of his life, he saw a breathtaking... bright red at the bottom of the lake.

There was no time to report his discovery, so he used the little consciousness he had left to trigger an emergency distress signal connected to his spirit.

This anomaly quickly caught Zhu Zhicheng's attention. The biochemical army was exploring the strange island, which could be said to be a mission that meant they were bound to die. So normally, biochemically modified people would not send out emergency distress signals.

Now, since a biochemically modified human has made such a choice, it must be that he has made some discovery but has no time to report it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhicheng immediately dispatched all teams in the nearby area to the area where the emergency distress signal appeared.

Half an hour later, when the last team arrived at the lake, more than 30 people had gathered there.

All the biochemically modified humans maintained a uniform indifferent expression. After a brief and quick exchange, they immediately began to explore the lake.

As one biochemically modified person after another jumped into the lake from different directions, blood-colored particles continued to emerge.

When they lost more than ten biochemically modified humans, they stopped this meaningless act of suicide.

Blood-colored particles are spread throughout the entire lake. It is even possible that the lake water is composed of blood-colored particles. Biochemically modified humans simply cannot break through this blockade.

But fortunately, they don't need to continue testing.

Because those dead biochemically modified people have been sporadically conveying information...

There are terrifying high-energy reactants at the bottom of the lake, suspected to be... the origin of the sea of blood!

When this news came back, Melen was shocked. Through vague perception, he also confirmed that the thing in the lake was the origin of the sea of blood he was looking for.

After several days of exploration and such a huge expenditure, finally...

Thinking of this, Mellen no longer hesitated, nodded slightly to Carl, and then the colorful light wrapped his whole body. He took a step out of the ghost ship, and every step after that seemed to be teleporting towards the lake.

When Melen stepped onto the strange island, the source of the sea of blood in the lake seemed to sense something and showed signs of "awakening".

However, it did not make too many movements. Although it was only a portion of the origin of the sea of blood, it also contained a bit of the will of the endless sea of blood. Even though Melen's fairy tale kingdom was a little strange, it was naturally not afraid.

However, as Mellen approached, the Origin of the Sea of Blood sensed something amiss in the dreamy power.

It was a feeling that made it instinctively disgusted, hostile and vigilant, and this feeling continued to increase exponentially as time went by.

Faintly, the origin of the sea of blood felt something was wrong.

'Whoosh!~'

Without any hesitation, the origin of the sea of blood soared into the sky and was about to leave the island.

Although this would cause it to lose its nest, which it had spent a lot of effort to build and manage after a long period of time, the Blood Sea Origin did not care.

For the Endless Sea of Blood, which has existed since time immemorial and has planned one world after another, any situation that may cause an unexpected event to the plan must be eliminated.

Leaving here and finding another place to start over, even taking into account the time needed to make up for the previous consumption, it will not take more than a few decades.

It is quite a good deal to avoid an uncertainty factor in such a short time.
