My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Each blood element servant is a recycling entity.

The recycling probability of each recycling entity is calculated separately!

The infiltrator team that just fought the tree-shaped monster consisted of 10 people, each wearing a small red vest, which means there were 10 blood elemental minions present.

Statistically speaking, whenever a tree-like monster dies, at least one blood minion can recover vitality.

If you're lucky, multiple Blood Elemental Minions will simultaneously regenerate the vitality of the same Tree-shaped Monster.

Xia Zuo was lucky; he not only didn't miss any tree-shaped monsters, but also triggered the effect of multiple vitality recovery events.

Therefore, the vitality attribute value recovered far exceeded his expectations.

The correct usage of 【Vitality Recovery】 is self-evident.

Chapter 56 Flesh Wall

Inside the secret alchemy chamber.

Xia Zuo rubbed his hands together excitedly.

His discovery of the [Vitality Recovery] talent made him especially happy, as this talent is the biggest source of vitality attribute value and will cause a qualitative change.

A simple calculation shows that if you want to recover all the life force released after a living creature dies, you only need to place 100 Blood Element Minions around it.

If you continue to invest in Blood Runes in [Vitality Recovery], the number of Blood Element Minions can be further reduced.

Those little red vests used as blood magic armor are made up of a blood elemental servant with 5 points of spirit attribute.

Xia Zuo will change his strategy from now on. He will use many Blood Element servants with only 1 point of Spirit attribute to make up a small vest in order to increase the success rate of recycling.

As for how to expand the results of this operation... Xia Zuo couldn't easily modify the vests worn by the infiltrators, so he could only put his mind to [Vitality Recovery].

He brought up the spell panel for this blood magic, decisively consumed 200 blood runes, and leveled up [Vitality Recovery] to level 30 in one go.

...

【Name】Vitality Recycling

[Level] lv.30

【Effect】

Whenever a living creature dies, there is a 30% chance to recover 10% of its vitality attribute value.

...

After upgrading the spell level, only 3.3 Blood Minions are needed to guarantee the absorption of the Vitality attribute value from one living creature. The probability of having two Blood Minions simultaneously recovering Vitality attribute value is 9%!

This can be described as a qualitative change.

Xia Zuo clenched his fists and waved them a few times, venting his joy.

He calmed himself down a bit, scanned the perspective of the Blood Servant in his mind, and then focused his attention on Rexor.

The infiltration team was divided into 3 small teams:

The ten who fought the tree-like monsters formed a mercenary gunslinger team. Under the guise of mobbing monsters, they slowly approached their destination. They would follow a predetermined route, searching location after location for any possible sources of information.

More than 20 others joined the Rose Knights as unidentified reinforcements, providing them with firepower support.

It is worth noting that the Rose Knights are an armed force that rejects alchemical armor and admires firearms and gunpowder, and often clashes with various forces that support alchemical armor.

Alchemy armor, on the other hand, is a product of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

The existence of the Rose Knights has always been a thorn in the side of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

If it weren't for the secret support of the Temple, and the fact that the Rose Knights frequently used advanced weapons to resist the extermination efforts of the Church of the Otherworld, these warrior guild members, rooted in the territory of the opposing forces, would have been scattered long ago.

Now, they are launching a high-profile attack on forces that are at odds with the Rose Knights, ruthlessly sweeping away enemy territories, all in order to openly attract the attention of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

This is an important part of Rexol's plan.

While the Rose Knights were loudly confronting the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, Rexor and Serites broke away from the main force and ventured deep into the heart of the anti-magic field, heading straight for Stillwater and the surrounding towns.

Why did they go to Jing Shui Town?

Because Stillwater is located in a valley of the Mogus Mountains, it is the only way to reach the Mogus Mountains from any other location.

The Mogus Mountains are the most treacherous and highest mountain range in the territory of the Church of the Otherworld, located in the center of the entire anti-magic field.

Theoretically, this should be the location of the headquarters of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, so where is it?

After accompanying Rexor to a peak in the Mogus Mountains, Shazor learned the answer through the perspective of his Blood Elemental servants.

The mountain beneath Rexor and his companion's feet rose just above the top of the clouds, about twenty or thirty meters. Standing atop it, gazing at the surrounding gray clouds, one had the illusion of being in a vast ocean. The mountain peaks jutting out from the cloud tops resembled small islands.

Looking up, there were no stars, sun, or moon, nor any higher clouds or deep starry sky; a vast, boundless wall of flesh blocked out the entire sky.

There was a huge light source on the flesh wall, slowly moving from east to west, simulating sunlight in the anti-magic field.

It was raining in certain areas of the flesh wall, but the rainwater actually came from the countless tiny black pores that opened up on the flesh wall.

Weather phenomena, including lightning, thunder, wind, and snow, are not controlled by nature, but by the workings of the flesh.

“Sinful air, sinful rain.” Rexol wrapped his entire body in an alchemical cloak, his face covered by a mask connected to the gas cylinder, his gaze scanning the fleshy walls through the lenses on his mask. “No matter how many times I look at it, I still think this thing is more terrifying than the Creation Smoke.”

"Do you think if we blow up this fleshy wall, we can remove the magic-suppressing field?" Serites, dressed in the same attire, stood next to the bald man.

"Perhaps...we'll talk about it later, business is more important. 'Lone Peak' is still waiting for us to rescue him." Rexor opened the backpack behind him, took out two sets of alchemical measuring tools, distributed one set to his companion, and said:

"The other two squads reported that they had searched almost every possible location but still found no trace of the intelligence."

"Then there's only one possibility: 'Lone Peak' has adopted the most urgent strategy, temporarily creating an intelligence container and using it to send the intelligence out of the flesh wall."

“The intelligence container will leave traces on the flesh wall. You find the traces and I will locate the exact position of ‘Lone Peak’.”

Serritus took the toolbox and took out a tripod and a rangefinder that looked like a long telescope.

He used a specially made lens on the microscope tube to observe the surface of the flesh wall, looking for the part that emitted a light green light.

The intelligence container used by "Lone Peak" was a special tool pre-designed using weapons alchemy. Its blueprints and manufacturing process were delivered to "Lone Peak" along with the mission instructions.

This tool can break through the hard outer shell of flesh and leave behind dye traces that can only be seen with special lenses.

After emerging from inside the fleshy wall, the intelligence container will fall due to gravity.

It is obvious that this method of intelligence transmission has significant drawbacks.

The separation of intelligence personnel from intelligence was a forced action, as intelligence personnel could not guarantee the safe delivery of intelligence to their superiors.

"Isolated Peak" must have taken this measure under extremely critical circumstances.

The opening in the flesh wall created by the intelligence container was only about 30 centimeters in diameter.

Serites, holding the rangefinder, squinted and searched for nearly two days before finally finding a faint green trace in the southwest corner of the flesh wall.

By observing the angle and the distance displayed on the rangefinder, he deduced the approximate location from which the intelligence container fell on the map of the Church of the Otherworld's territory.

"I've got it all sorted out, Letor." Serites rolled up the map and looked at the bald man beside him. "How's your situation?"

Chapter 57 An Eerie Silence

Rexor, wearing a helmet fitted with binoculars, stared up at the flesh wall, a posture he had maintained for two days.

“This is not good. I can’t see any fluctuations in the bloodline.” Rexor’s voice was a little hoarse. “This is very strange, Serret. The other squads have made such a commotion, and the Rose Knights almost overturned half of the anti-magic field, but why didn’t the Church of the Otherworldly Demons send out any Otherworldly Demons to investigate? There are no Otherworldly Demons passing through any part of the intestinal cavity inside the flesh wall. It’s as if the Otherworldly Demons have fallen into hibernation and completely relinquished control of the ground.”

“This is troublesome…” Serites frowned. “If the Otherworldly Demons don’t come out to capture the bait we’ve planted, then the bait won’t be locked up in the Punishment Division’s interrogation room… What are we going to do…”

“We have no choice but to abandon the rescue of ‘Lone Peak’ for now.” Rexol removed his helmet, his face grim. “There must be new changes within the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. We need to find someone to ask. Let’s go down and talk about it first.”

The two packed up their toolboxes and returned to the foot of the mountain via the same route.

In a dense forest, Rexor took a curly-haired cat out of his backpack and said, "Christopher, how are the other groups doing?"

“Wait, let me check the surroundings first.” Christo interrupted the bald man, maneuvering the curly-haired cat to quickly circle the forest before returning and saying, “Normal, yet not normal.”

The curly-haired cat licked its paws and said:

"Their sabotage operation went smoothly, too smoothly. No demonic cult showed up to stop them, and the Limb-Splittering Army that was supposed to appear didn't show up either. What about you? Have you found the intelligence container?"

Serites said, "The intelligence container is 60 kilometers to the southeast, where there is a lake."

“My situation is dire; no Otherworldly beings have passed through the intestinal cavity behind the fleshy walls,” Rexor sighed. “Hopefully, ‘Lone Peak’ can hold out until we find a way to save him.”

Rexor suppressed his grief and asked the curly-haired cat, "Has any new intelligence come from other intelligence agents within the temple?"

"No intelligence has come in, but something bad has happened." The curly-haired cat put down its paw, a hint of unease in its emerald eyes. "Since entering the anti-magic field, we've been trying to contact other intelligence personnel. But everyone has gone missing."

"What..." Rexor was stunned. "They were all wiped out? When was the last time we received intelligence about them?"

"Based on the intelligence gathered by the temple, Letunia and I deduced that the Church of the Otherworldly Demons began purging spies from its territory on the day 'Lone Peak' was captured by the criminal investigation team."

The curly-haired cat displayed a solemn expression, "This couldn't have been leaked by 'Lone Peak,' because he has an independent communication line and doesn't interact with other intelligence agents. The only explanation is that the Church of the Otherworldly Demons already knew the identities of its intelligence agents."

Rexor frowned. "If your deduction is correct, then this must be the Church of the Otherworldly conducting a cleanup before carrying out something important. They don't want any information about this matter to leak out. No wonder there's no movement inside the flesh wall; the Otherworldly demons must be concentrated in a small area, doing something extremely evil."

Serites interjected, "Could the Otherworldlies already know where the intelligence container sent by 'Lone Peak' landed? Could they be lying in ambush nearby?"

“If it’s really as you say, then we’re afraid we won’t be able to go back at all.” Rexor frowned deeply.

“But we still have to go, don’t we?” Serites said.

“Yes.” Rexor nodded, then paused for a moment, before shaking his head. “No, it’s not us going. I can manage on my own.”

"What?!" Serites exclaimed. "Are you courting death, Letho?"

“Listen, if there really is an ambush at that lake, sending any number of people will only result in their deaths,” Rexol said firmly. “The more people there are, the bigger the target will be, and the easier it will be to be discovered. It’s easier for me to sneak in alone and then escape.”

Serites was silent for a few seconds, "...Okay, I agree with you. But...why you should go?"

“Because Shazo will help me,” Rexor said seriously.

Serites was clearly stunned by the bald man's words. "...Shazo? Why are you bringing him up? He's not here."

Rexor didn't speak, but looked at the other person's collar, where there was a splash of red, a small corner of a vest peeking out.

Serites followed the other person's gaze and looked down, also seeing the red vest.
