Please be my partner.

Mellen took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The most important thing now was to get through tonight.

Logically speaking, Mellen should immediately seek the protection of his mentor, but...

He looked out the window at the deep darkness, unsure whether there were more traps waiting for him outside.

Although there is a certain probability that he is fighting wits and courage with the air, we still have to be on guard.

Just a moment later, he made up his mind and prepared to go find Teacher Eunice. No matter what, he had to let the academy know about what happened today as soon as possible.

Just as Mellen had already constructed a course of action in his mind and took the Screaming Box in his hand...

A ray of light suddenly appeared not far in front of him, cutting through the space, and then a figure walked out of it.

"Little Mellen, long time no see."

Melen looked at the newcomer in surprise and said, "Uncle Ganuo? How could you..."

Seeing that Mellen was fine, Ganuo seemed relieved and said with a smile, "You want to know how I was able to get past the Mysterious Academy's defenses and suddenly appear beside you? Of course, it's because I have a special movement technique!"

Mellen frowned, feeling that what happened today was becoming increasingly strange.

Garno didn't give Mellen time to ask, and said directly: "What I am going to say next is very important, you must remember it carefully."

He handed a note to Mellen and said, "Tomorrow at 11:11 am, you will follow this route to Fanhua Town. Remember, it must be : sharp, no earlier and no later!"

Mellen took the note, which had a simple route map drawn on it.

He asked, "Uncle Ganuo, did you know I would be attacked today? What happened in Blossom Town? Why would I go there?"

Gano looked out the window, shook his head and said, "There are many things that cannot be discussed here, and it's too late now. You will know everything when you arrive in Fanhua Town tomorrow. Remember to leave early."

After saying that, he lightly pointed at the void beside him, and a ray of light appeared, distorting the space.

Just before stepping into the distorted space, he turned to Mellen and said with a smile, "I hope you are ready to embark on an exciting adventure!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Melen to ask any more questions, he stepped into the distorted space and disappeared.

Melen was left alone holding the note, disheveled in the wind.

He murmured helplessly, "Why are they all Riddler?!"

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do.

Sitting on the sofa, Mellen played with the note in his hand. He had a vague feeling that something terrible might happen on this trip.

After a moment, he asked, "What do you think? Should I go?"

Little Honglian lay on the sofa, resting her head on Mellen's legs, her little eyes staring at her owner all the time, and her tail wagging happily.

Xiao Honglian: Listen to the master!

Spike squatted beside Mellen's legs, a calm look on his dog's face.

Spike: Boy, you've already made your decision!

Mellen smiled slightly, stroked the two dogs, and said no more.

Although he felt that there was a high probability that he would not be attacked again tonight, Mellen still did not choose to sleep, but instead closed his eyes and rested all night.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Mellen packed up, left the academy, rented a carriage outside, and headed out of Roland City.

After leaving Roland City, he paid for the carriage and continued on foot.

Mellen did not go directly to the south gate leading to Fanhua Town, but came to the west gate. Continuing in this direction, he could reach Gano Farm.

What Garno said yesterday still made him feel a little doubtful, so although he had decided to go to Fanhua Town, he still wanted to meet Garno again before that.

But when he arrived at Gano Farm, he saw a scene that shocked him.

The entire Gano Farm was lifeless. From afar, a faint green mist rose from it, filled with a sense of corruption.

He approached and looked carefully for a moment. There were no farm workers, no tourists, and even the livestock were gone.

Things seem to be getting weirder and weirder.

Just as Mellen was about to leave, he suddenly felt as if something was calling him from deep within the farm.

It was a very intimate feeling.

Gently touching the wolf-shaped pendant on his chest through his clothes, Melen had a guess in his mind and walked towards the depths of the farm.

As he passed by, the floating green poisonous mist seemed to have consciousness and automatically moved away from him.

There was still no one inside the farm, it was empty.

Soon, Mellen followed his feeling and came to the depths of the farm. It was an ordinary room. If it weren't for the instructions, he would never have found it.

After opening the door, the inside was clear at a glance and there seemed to be nothing different.

But what attracted Melen was under the room.

After groping for a while, he found the opening mechanism in a hidden corner. As the mechanism was turned, a path leading to the basement opened.

After entering, it was more spacious than Melen had expected. The top was inlaid with a stone that emitted a soft glow, making the place quite bright.

This is a place that looks like a chemical laboratory, filled with various bottles and jars. Most of the bottles are empty, but a few still have some residue.

Soon, Melen found the target that attracted him. It was a green ball the size of a grape soaked in an unknown liquid.

And above this green sphere, there was a touch of deep green light that Melen was very familiar with!

Melen was a little confused. This green ball was a dog?!

He tried to read the attributes, but this time he didn't get the usual dog information, but some scattered memories and a more special introduction...

[Corrupted Dog]: An ordinary stray dog strayed into a swamp filled with toxins and swallowed a poisonous fruit. On the verge of death, it awakened and became an extraordinary life, thus creating a miracle.

The awakening of the stray dog caused the various toxins in its body to mutate and sublimate at the same time. Using the stray dog as a breeding ground, they began to devour and mutate each other continuously.

Later, a pharmacist got it and started all kinds of crazy experiments on it. During this process, the stray dog was always in a state of neither life nor death and suffered a lot.

The above information is actually the information obtained by combining the wolf-shaped pendant with the memory of the stray dog.

Although it was messy, Melen had basically figured it out.

If nothing unexpected happens, this dog should be the deformed life that was taken away by pharmacist Lanny.

As for why he appeared here, looking at the environment in the basement and thinking about the cooperation reached between Lanny and Gano, it seems not difficult to understand.

Now this dog can no longer be called a normal life. Perhaps it can be understood as an extraordinary object with certain life properties.

The birth of this kind of extraordinary items, each one is a accumulation of accidents and coincidences, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle.

Of course, in terms of power, extraordinary items with life properties are no different from ordinary extraordinary items. The only difference is that the former has what the latter does not have...growth potential!

Of course, if you want to cultivate this type of extraordinary item, the conditions are usually very harsh and the time is quite long.

Therefore, in the eyes of some lone extraordinary people, extraordinary items with this kind of characteristics are far less practical than directly having a powerful extraordinary item.

Only in the eyes of big families or big forces do they have higher value.

Melen was a little tempted. It would be fine if it was any other kind of life-like extraordinary item, but the one in front of him was just a dog.

Are the cultivation conditions harsh? Is the cultivation time long?

These problems are no problem for Mellen, spiritual energy can solve them easily.

But Melen was also very hesitant. Everything in front of him was most likely arranged by Ganno. If he took this thing away, it might lead to some unknown consequences.

As an elder, Ganuo has always helped him unconditionally, and he is not yet capable of betraying his uncle.

Thinking of this, Mellen shook his head regretfully.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw two figures standing quietly behind him out of the corner of his eye.

'Scare!~'

Mellen jumped and took a defensive action, but after seeing the two people clearly, his expression became a little embarrassed.

These two people were Gano and Lanny.

Gano had a helpless smile on his face, while Lanny seemed to be furious.

Mellen said dryly, "Uncle Ganuo, I wanted to come and talk to you."

Ganuo waved his hand, looked at the green ball, and asked, "You want it?"

Lanny snorted, but didn't object.

Melen hesitated for a moment, but nodded affirmatively.

Ganuo said: "In that case, you can take it."

Seeing that Mellen was still hesitant, Ganuo smiled and said, "It can be seen that it likes you too. There is no point in staying here anyway. Go ahead and take it away."

Mellen nodded.

He walked to the jar, and before he could make any move, the green ball turned into a ray of light and flew out, then wrapped around his left index finger and turned into a green ring.

Melen stroked the green ring, which was made of neither gold nor stone and felt warm to the touch.

Ganuo smiled and said, "It really likes you. Go away now. I don't have time to talk to you in detail now."

Melen heard a sense of urgency in Ganno's words, so he said nothing more and left quickly.

After Mellen left, Lanny said dissatisfiedly: "It's this kid again, he really is my nemesis!"

Ganuo smiled and said, "Okay, why bother with a child?"

Lanny said coldly, "You're kind enough to give away the extraordinary item containing life, but what about the arrangement here? Didn't we plan to let that guy get hurt here? Now that we've lost this arrangement, and he's in perfect condition, can you handle it?"

Ganuo said calmly, "Don't worry, it's just a pillar of the kingdom that has reached the fourth level through various means."

"Humph!" Lanny snorted coldly and said, "Be careful, don't let the boat capsize in the ditch!"

Chapter 110 Communication and [Fate Pointer]

Mellen left the Gano farm and did not follow the main road, but went directly into the mountains and forests.

He actually felt mixed emotions at this moment.

Being able to obtain a suitable extraordinary item is certainly worth being happy about, but the process makes him a little worried.

There is no doubt that everything set up in Gano's farm is most likely some kind of trap, which Gano should have set up to deal with a specific person.

But now it was destroyed by Mellen accidentally.

Although Ganuo said it lightly, it is clear that it would not be an easy target for them to spend so much time and effort to set up a trap. This is also the reason why Melen hesitated before.

Shaking his head, he pushed those thoughts out of his mind before turning his attention to the green ring on his left index finger.

Noticing his gaze, a layer of hazy green mist floated on the ring, forming the shape of a dog half the size of a palm.

Except for the green fur all over its body, the dog looks similar to an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog.

It does not have the wisdom of awakened life, but only some dog instincts.

Mellen gently touched it with his fingertips, and the little green dog seemed to be blown away, turning into wisps of mist that wrapped around his fingers. When he stopped, it returned to its dog form.

This extraordinary item, called the [Dog of Corruption], possesses extremely special abilities and can manipulate spiritual toxins.

These include highly toxic toxins that can cause massive damage instantly, hidden poisons that can be quietly released, gradually accumulate in the target's body, and suddenly erupt at critical moments, as well as a variety of extraordinary toxins with different effects.

In addition, when wearing the [Dog of Corruption], any toxin that cannot reach its upper limit of influence will not have any effect on Melen, which is commonly known as "poison immunity", although at present, it is only within a certain limit.

[The Dog of Corruption] possesses life characteristics and can continuously grow itself. Of course, this process itself is extremely slow. If you want to speed it up, you need to continuously inject different types of toxins into it.

The important thing is that the toxin injected cannot be too light, otherwise it will not be beneficial to its growth and will be a waste of time; it cannot be too strong, otherwise it may cause damage to itself due to being unable to withstand it, resulting in a decline in power.

Thinking of this, Melen invested 1 point of spiritual energy into the [Dog of Corruption]. Suddenly, the various toxins contained in it began to rapidly split, alienate, devour, and fuse.

In almost a short period of time, Melen felt that the power of the [Dog of Corruption] had increased slightly.

Over the next hour, Melen invested another 2 points of spiritual energy into the [Dog of Corruption].

Although the improvement was still rapid, he keenly sensed that the effect of the improvement was showing a clear downward trend.

Through the simple feedback from the [Corrupted Dog], we know that the spiritual energy is only increased by the toxins it already has, and naturally the consumption is getting bigger and bigger. If more new toxins can be introduced as variables, the improvement it can get with the same energy will be even greater.

Of course, these variables cannot be added at will, and it is best to control them within a certain range.

After all, even if spiritual energy is omnipotent, the [Dog of Corruption] itself has its limits.

Putting these scattered thoughts aside, Melen began to move forward quickly.

When it was ten o'clock in the morning, Mellen arrived at the preset location. He took out the note again, confirmed that the route was correct, and began to wait patiently.
