My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Facing the Blood Demon No. 13 in the cultivation tank, the two nasolabial folds around his mouth seemed to deepen even more.

"Xia Zuo, do you still have the energy to keep going?"

Vickers stood in front of the control panel with his arms crossed.

"I'm a little tired, supervisor."

Xia Zuo rubbed his temples. "It's still possible to sustain a curse spell for half an hour."

Deep down, he really wanted to be involved in breaking through the Blood Demon's shell.

The cheat system counts the Transformer as killed after it turns into trash and awards experience points.

If we apply this to the Blood Demon, would breaking through its body also be considered a kill?

Xia Zuo wanted to verify it.

Fortunately, Vickers gave us this opportunity.

Vickers raised his left hand and glanced at his watch. "Meditate for an hour first. I need you to cast the Curse of Decay. The Emergency Response Department needs to make some preparations."

He pointed to the flowing red sand in the culture tank and said:

“Once we inject the universal antidote into the canister, the Blood Demon will immediately notify its companions. At that time, there will definitely be an emergency in the Posing Building, and even in the city of Poseidon.”

"Yes, supervisor."

Xia Zuo found a comfortable place to sit down and leaned on the table to cast a calming spell with a power of 1 on himself.

After 1 hours.

Xia Zuo woke up to find there was another person in the laboratory.

The other party was wearing a black combat leather jacket and tactical pants, and even his shoes were pure black combat boots.

The weapon, a submachine gun-like energy weapon, was slung across his chest.

Xia Zuo rubbed his eyes and released his detection spell.

The black combat suit provides 10% resistance to all four elements, offering spell protection comparable to a full set of metal armor.

This person possessed an elemental body, and few tiny specks of light could be seen emanating from it.

Conservatively estimated, his body has a natural 10% resistance to all four elements.

Then take into account the four elemental resistances provided by the mage armor.

It has at least 22% resistance to all four elements... almost twice as much as Xia Zuo currently has.

"Xia Zuo."

Vickers noticed the commotion at the table and gestured for the other person to come over.

He introduced it to those around him:

"This is Xia Zuo, an expert-level poison alchemist from Starry Night Island, and a support member of the 17th Operation Team."

"Hello, Xia Zuo."

A man with his hair wrapped in a black headscarf extends his hand.

“I am Simpson from the Fox Squad of the 10th Operations Team.”

Simpson has striking features, especially his prominent nose. His large, white teeth are particularly noticeable when he speaks. His skin is dark, but appears slightly lighter against the glow of his mage armor.

"Hello, Simpson."

Xia Zuo shook hands with him. The other man's hands were covered in calluses, making it almost impossible to feel any smooth skin.

Vickers said, "The two Witcher Masters are coming right away. Shazo, give them a hand."

"Yes, supervisor."

Xia Zuo nodded, walked to the door and looked around. In addition to the armed elemental servants, there were also some figures dressed in combat gear in the corridor.

Rexor and Ceretus carried in a metal box about half a person's height, and Shazo helped them open the door.

The metal box looked quite heavy.

After placing it on the ground, Rexor let out a long breath and rested for a few seconds before saying:

"Vicks, how much longer?"

"We're just waiting for the spell-casting permission, Master."

Viktor paused, then continued:

"A large number of people have been mobilized this time. All the action teams on duty in this building have been sent out. The city's mage regiment is ready to deal with any possible high-level blood demons."

"Click, click..." Vickers's secret communication ring made a sound.

He looked down and said:

"The spellcasting permit has been issued. Let's begin. Once we've broken through the Blood Demon's husk, the guards of the Mage Temple should be arriving soon."

Vickers pressed a button on the control panel, unlocking the sealed door of the glass partition.

"Xia Zuo, you and the two Demon Hunters used the Curse of Decay to weaken the Blood Demon."

"I will administer a high concentration of the universal antidote. Once the Blood Demon's shell is broken, I will immediately freeze the incubation tank."

"Simpson, you're in charge of guarding the door. From now on, no one is allowed to come in."

"Yes, supervisor."

Simpson pulled out a dozen or so threaded glass tubes from his jacket and trouser pockets and placed them on the workbench.

He held one in each hand, cast a charging spell, and then inserted the fully charged glass tubes into the extra-wide receiver of the submachine gun, before charging the other two.

Rexor and Ceretus worked together to open the metal box on the ground and examine the magic array patterns on the inner wall of the box.

Xia Zuo focused his attention on the Life Alchemy Stone and took a few sips of regular potions and stimulants.

"Here, drink this."

Rexol pulled a glass bottle from his medicine bag and handed it over.

Xia Zuo took it and drank it down. It was a potion he had taken on the airship, which could temporarily enhance the power of curse spells.

I've drunk it twice and still don't know its name.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is this potion called?"

"Hmm...it doesn't have a name, it's just a bottle of diluted decoction. Before it was diluted, it was called 'Tawny Owl'."

As Rexor spoke, he pulled a chain from his alchemy pouch.

"Shazo, go open the sealed door. Vickers, you can begin once we've set up the confinement array."

"Yes, Master."

Vickers reached out and placed his hand on a transparent glass box, inside which was a bright red round button.

Xia Zuo opened the sealed door of the glass partition.

The bald man and the cold-faced man each carried a chain as they went inside.

The two avoided the beam of light aimed at the culture tank and used chains to bind the tank body and base together.

When the locks of the two chains are interlocked, dark purple patterns appear on the chains.

The red sand inside the jar must have been disturbed by the Witcher's actions.

However, it was completely immobilized by the four beams of light, unable to even self-destruct, let alone crash into the tank in a show of force.

Rexor and Shazor rushed out of the sealed door, pulled Shazor along, and placed him directly in front of the glass partition, where they unleashed the Curse of Decay.

Vickers lifted the glass cover and pressed the red button with a snap.

The clear liquid poured down from the top of the culture tank, filling the tank within ten seconds.

When red sand is soaked in the medicinal solution, many tiny bubbles appear on the surface, just like when an effervescent tablet is dissolved in water. The medicinal solution churns violently as the bubbles burst.

Hongsha was hit by four beams of light and was completely unable to move, only able to do two things.

First, he had to watch helplessly as his blood demon body was eroded by the universal antidote and the curse of decay.

Secondly...

It means asking one's companions for help.

"Click, click..."

Vickers's cipher ring emitted a series of sounds.

He glanced down, a cold glint in his eyes beneath his square-framed glasses.

"A high-level blood demon has appeared!"

"Where?" Rexor asked while maintaining the Curse of Decay.

"The isolation observation room inside the 15th Avenue Police Station."

Vickers paced back and forth, arms crossed and rubbing his chin.

"Oh, I see. That high-level blood demon was hiding inside a Papa John's employee. It thought that Poseidon City would still bring infected people to the Pershing Building for treatment, like before. Little did it know, we had already shared medical equipment with the police department."

Xia Zuo never imagined that his first field mission would involve such a powerful adversary.

Fortunately, when the 17th task force arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant staff and owner had just been taken to the police station.

"Click, click..."

Another secret message arrived.

Vickers glanced at it and said:

"The garrison mages have trapped the high-ranking blood demon on the 15th Avenue. The temple guards are on their way."

Upon hearing that the high-ranking blood demon was trapped, Rexor's eyes gleamed with a warlike light, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, don't let it escape."

Serites, standing to the side, shared the same expression as the bald man, suddenly amplifying the power of the Curse of Decay, demonstrating his desire to hunt high-level blood demons through his actions.

With a burst of strength, the bald man and the cold-faced man squeezed Xia Zuo's cursed mark into a small corner of the red sand.

The chemicals in the culture tank were being consumed very quickly.
