The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 606 Mutation?

Liu Xingzhi's eyes were cold, and his sword strikes became faster and faster, so fast that even Song Wanning could only see a blur.

In the blink of an eye, the entire mine was filled with blood mist, which was scattered in all directions.

"Jiji——"

Only endless screams remained in the mine, sounding exceptionally mournful.

Some monsters were scared and tried to escape back into the crevice.

Song Wanning flashed and directly blocked the gap, killing one by one as it came, her sword rising and falling without any hesitation.

With nowhere to run, the monster launched a frenzied counterattack, but it was no match for the two of them.

But at that moment, a very high-pitched scream was suddenly heard, and then the remaining monsters gathered together.

Then, before Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi's eyes, it transformed into one, becoming an even larger monster.

At that moment, the monster also gained pupils.

Within his blood-red eyes, a dark pupil was staring menacingly at Liu Xingzhi, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.

"grumble--"

With another angry scream, the monster charged towards Liu Xingzhi.

Liu Xingzhi's expression turned cold, and he charged forward with his sword.

But this monster was clearly much stronger. Not only was its movement agility impressive, but even when Liu Xingzhi's sword struck it, it only left a single wound.

Seeing this, Song Wanning's heart sank, and she began to try hard to recall what was different about these monsters.

After all, she hadn't noticed this situation in their previous encounters.

Even in the memories of the Golden Dragon Clan, this situation has not been seen. Could it be that the monster has evolved?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

He pieced together the strange phenomena he had just witnessed in his mind.

Suddenly, she noticed something.

These combined monsters seem to have slightly different eyes.

Although they were all blood-red, these monsters had whites in their eyes.

Although it was just a small dot, it was definitely different from the monsters I had seen before.

Could it have mutated?

She had a guess in her mind: if the monster mutated, some things that had never happened before would indeed occur.

But if that's the case, then things become even more complicated.

If monsters can combine to become even more powerful, then dealing with them will be even more difficult.

If we encounter several powerful monsters, wouldn't everyone be at a disadvantage?

Song Wanning immediately wrote this down and sent it to Luo Hantian.

She told him about it and her speculations.

Upon learning this, Luo Hantian immediately relayed it to other factions.

This matter now needs to be taken seriously.

Inside the mine, Liu Xingzhi moved swiftly, his blade flashing with each strike more swift and deadly than the last.

Finally, the monster fell into a pool of blood.

Liu Xingzhi deliberately did not kill it directly, in order to study the monster's unusual characteristics.

But just as Song Wanning was about to approach, the monster suddenly split into many smaller black balls, attempting to escape.

Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi drew their swords simultaneously, killing the fleeing monsters.

"Jiji——"

The monsters twitched a few times, then collapsed to the ground, completely still. Blood continued to flow from beneath them, slowly turning green.

Once they were sure there were no more monsters around, Song Wanning and Liu Xingzhi walked over to the monsters and squatted down.

"Senior Brother Liu, look... there's something wrong with the blood of these monsters. Could they have been poisoned or eaten something?"

Song Wanning felt her heart pounding.

She prefers the first possibility.

If someone is indeed raising monsters and trying to mutate them, then their ambition is truly unimaginable.

Liu Xingzhi had clearly thought of this problem as well. He carefully collected the blood in a bottle and handed it to Song Wanning.

"Let's find a place to study this first, and then decide how to handle it."

"it is good!"

Song Wanning took the bottle, cleaned up the mess, and left the mine with Liu Xingzhi.

Meanwhile, Luo Hantian's investigation has also hit a bottleneck.

The Lanyuan Auction House has been around for over a century, yet no one knows who the owner is!

This is truly extraordinary.

However, he did find out exactly how many times the maps were auctioned. For the past ten years or so, maps from Lanyuan have been auctioned every one or two months, only the "reason" for each map was different, but they were all sold.

Because of the special nature of the auction, no one knows the final buyer, nor do they know where those people went or whether they are alive or dead.

That's why it went undiscovered for so many years.

If Song Wanning hadn't encountered this, no one would have paid attention to the auction at Lan Garden, let alone know that such a huge hidden danger was lurking behind it.

He then informed the two of everything he had discovered.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning's expression became quite serious, because she had tested the blood and found that it did indeed contain a certain amount of toxins. However, Song Wanning had never seen this kind of toxin before and couldn't figure out what kind of poisonous plant it was for the time being.

"The monster's existence has been exposed, and we don't know if the person behind it knows about it. Sect Master, we still need to communicate with other forces about this matter."

"We need to find the monster, but for now, we must do it quietly and discreetly, without alerting it."

She collected the blood and put it into her storage ring, then continued, "Lan Garden isn't too far from us. Let's go take a look; maybe we can find some clues."

Now that the monster has been killed, it's unknown whether the person behind it will notice.

"Alright, then you all be careful. I'll try to investigate other forces related to Lan Garden. Maybe I can find some clues from them."

Luo Hantian agreed. He thought it was just a small monster, but he didn't expect it to cause so many problems.

It's really troublesome.

"Let's go take a look at the orchid garden."

Song Wanning got up and left. She was already used to Liu Xingzhi's taciturn nature. In any case, Liu Xingzhi would not object to her suggestions, so she didn't need to worry too much.

She also enjoys dealing with intelligent people like that.

……

The auction house at Lan Garden was bustling with activity, with a dazzling array of items up for auction and the place packed with people.

However, because the items auctioned are not particularly high-end, they have always attracted mostly independent cultivators or members of small families.

Everyone assumed that Lan Garden was too small compared to other major powers.

However, in Song Wanning's view, this was deliberately done.

If it were a powerful family, they would likely discover the shady dealings involved.

Furthermore, if a disciple dies, major families and sects may investigate, and there is a risk of exposure.

Therefore, Lanyuan has always deliberately controlled the auction items to ensure that it attracts mostly independent practitioners.

Even if all the rogue cultivators die, no one will care, and this secret will never be exposed.
