Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Soon, Jiang Mian found a suitable place in a valley.

This place is far from the underground city and has a considerable area, more than enough to build a town.

So she casually created a few wind blades and wind fields, cleared a space, and released the person.

"Alliance Leader!"

Jiang Mian nodded, did not exchange any more words with them, and turned to fly back.

After ordering the Golden Crow to travel automatically, she decisively switched back to her original form.

……

Meanwhile, inside the office.

Jiang Mian opened her eyes and found herself lying on a folding bed, with a coat covering her.

Actually, given her current physical condition, it doesn't matter whether she covers herself or not, and she's not afraid of catching a cold.

However, having something to hold in one's hand does make one feel more secure.

A reassuring scent wafted to Jiang Mian's nose, and she instinctively curled up.

Seeing that Ye Chenyang was not there, she sat up and tentatively put on her coat.

The hem was a bit long and the sleeves were a bit loose. Although it didn't fit well, a strange flutter welled up in my heart.

Jiang Mian covered her head and muttered to herself:

What's wrong with me?

I feel really strange these past few days. When I'm close to him, my mind goes blank and I keep having strange thoughts come to mind.

Just like when we first kissed.

She knew the real reason, but she was unwilling to admit it, deceiving herself that she was under too much pressure and needed to release it.

According to Ye Chenyang's previous statement, as he continues to advance, the organs in his body will mutate in the direction most suitable for survival.

Therefore, Jiang Mian can no longer be considered a normal human being in essence.

Once the sixth rank is reached, the strengthening of these internal organs will be completed, achieving a perfect state.

It's hard to say what will happen then.

Judging from the severity of her catastrophic transformation, perhaps...

In Jiang Mian's view, all the erotic thoughts ultimately stem from the biological instinct of reproduction.

It is quite unbelievable that I have undergone such a change.

At this point, we can't just say "love conquers all," can we?

It's not a cartoon!

"Clatter!"

Just then, Ye Chenyang pushed open the door and entered, immediately seeing Jiang Mian loosely draped in his coat.

A slight thought stirred within him, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked with concern:

"So fast?"

"Um."

Jiang Mian turned her head away, avoiding the somewhat burning gaze, a blush rising on her face, and she unusually showed a bit of helplessness.

However, what I felt more than awkwardness was a strange excitement.

It's like wanting to show him more of your little secrets.

Jiang Mian originally thought that she just had strange attributes, but now it seems... isn't she a bit abnormal?

She put on the shoes and socks she had taken off sometime earlier, then got out of bed and beckoned with her finger.

The surrounding "wind" seemed to transform into an invisible hand, taking it away.

"Brother Ye, over there..."

As she pulled Ye Chenyang toward the window, she summarized the situation underground.

"[A ghost fetus]?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenyang frowned.

Although it is the official name, he and his comrades who had dealt with it called it the Hungry Ghost.

Due to its inherent growth characteristics, the nutrients required for advancement are far more than those of other calamities of the same level, even comparable to a monstrous natural disaster like the [Sea of ​​Calamity].

However, it has a hidden feature.

Since it has no soul, it can serve as a backup body for any calamity of the same path, and the upper limit of the physical body increases with the level of the inhabiting soul.

In other words, it is a "respawn point" specifically for the [Death] path.

Although it is ranked sixteenth in the sequence, its importance is absolutely no less than that of the top ten!

The disadvantages are also obvious:

The advancement speed is too slow, and after acquiring a "soul", restarting the skill comes at the cost of consuming one's own level.

I suffered a great loss because of this hidden feature; otherwise, I would have solved the Wither problem before reaching level eight.

Ye Chenyang pinched Jiang Mian's slightly burning ear and briefly explained its hidden characteristics.

"what?"

This is a bit too outrageous!

However, since Ye Chenyang had said so, Jiang Mian naturally chose to believe him.

But if this [Unborn Child] is so important, why did Wangchuan go to such lengths to smuggle it across the river?

Does "withering" also have to get involved?

According to Ye Chenyang, after refining the [Nether Embryo], the withering consciousness can freely switch between two bodies.

Aside from not being able to use abilities inherent to [Withering], its strength is definitely higher than that of a typical peak seventh-tier cultivator.

Things seem to be escalating.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian couldn't help but step forward and hug his waist tightly.

"Mianmian?"

Seeing her suddenly press herself against him, Ye Chenyang asked softly:

"Is there anything else you haven't finished saying?"

"Brother Ye."

Jiang Mian shook her head and said sullenly:

"Until the matter of the River of Oblivion is resolved, you'd better stay within my sight and don't wander off."

Although Ye Chenyang, as a fifth-tier cultivator, already possessed combat power far exceeding that of an average sixth-tier cultivator,

However, once caught up in the melee of the eighth rank, death is still certain.

What if other higher-level calamities of [Death] arrive?

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

Seeing the worry in Jiang Mian's words, Ye Chenyang felt a warmth in his heart and hugged her tightly.

However, when he lowered his head, Jiang Mian stood on tiptoe and kissed him domineeringly.

Ye Chenyang was startled, but quickly bent down slightly to respond to her enthusiasm.

The two lingered for a while before reluctantly parting ways.

Afterwards, Jiang Mian followed Ye Chenyang to report the situation to You Hui.

The underground city may have encountered an even bigger problem, so the investigation will temporarily be taken over by higher-ranking inspectors.

They might even need to borrow some manpower from the Ministry of Defense.

After all, even Zhong Zhen, a seventh-level lesion patient, had an accident, so it's understandable that the authorities would urgently escalate the situation.

Sending Ye Chenyang fishing there at this time would be tantamount to suicide.

Even if Wangchuan discovers his undercover identity, Jiang Mian doesn't want him to put himself in danger.

When the two walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Supervision, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Mian walked quickly ahead of Ye Chenyang without saying a word.

Ye Chenyang quietly followed behind her, tacitly not disturbing her, treating it as a stroll.

After walking for a while, Jiang Mian suddenly stopped.

She turned around, as if she had figured something out, and asked him to confirm:

"Brother Ye, you said that [Wither] has a skill that predicts death."

"Um."

"Then... could it be that he used it on the River of Oblivion and saw something unexpected, which is why he got involved personally?"

……

The underground city, the headquarters of Pharmacy No. 1, the Great Hall.

Wangchuan stood alone on the stage, the audience was packed, but everyone's gaze was equally blank.

It's like a copy-and-paste job, giving people a creepy feeling for no reason.

But Wangchuan is not a person.

Moreover, these diseased individuals were her chosen "high-quality fuel," almost all of whom were at least level four.

Having already been fed several batches, it should be enough for the [Unborn Child] to enter the second stage and officially bear the "arrival" of decay.

"Let's begin."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gray-black fleshy ball suddenly appeared in front of her, emanating an aura of deathly stillness.

When the front row of infected individuals comes into contact with it, their bodies decay and decompose at a visible rate, eventually turning into ashes.

This is just the beginning.

The corruption spread like a plague, and soon all the infected people disappeared.

The already dimly lit Great Hall of the People seemed to be further shrouded in a filter, making it even more suffocating.

An invisible force gathered within that ball of flesh.

Its surface writhed eerily a few times, tearing open a gash.

Then, a bluish-purple baby crawled out, still wet, as if it had just been born.

It raised its head, looked at the River of Oblivion, and said in a shrill voice:

"Mother!"

Several dark lines appeared on Wangchuan's face as he coldly rebuked:

"roll!"

According to her and Diaoling's plan, they should have already transferred their consciousness over.

Where are they? Where did they go?

Just as Wangchuan was filled with doubt, an unprecedented, deathly power suddenly erupted from its body.

When it raised its head again, its scarlet eyes had turned pure black, and its voice transformed into a sinister, deep male voice:

"Sorry I'm late."
