My health recovery is incredibly fast.

He slapped his forehead. "Don't tell me this thing is actually Xia Zuo's blood magic puppet..."

Rexor nodded.

"I actually wore a blood magic golem?! It looks so weird, like I'm leaning against a man chest to chest!" Serites's eyebrows twitched. "You have this kind of perverse taste, Letho? Why didn't you say so sooner..."

Serites suddenly realized something, clapped his hands, and said, "Oh! Letor, I'm starting to admire your caution. Not telling us that the red-vested one is a blood magic golem was an absolutely correct choice, very suitable for the current situation."

Rexor smiled meaningfully. "Yes. If there really is a spy from the Church of the Otherworld among us, he will inevitably be exposed when I leave the group alone and be noticed by Shazo."

Rexol glanced at the curly-haired cat and said to the man and the cat, "Gentlemen, I have a plan..."

Rexor lowered his voice, "The plan is this..."

Whispers echoed through the forest, lasting for a few minutes before ceasing.

“Sounds pretty good.” Serites nodded thoughtfully. “But it will require Shazo to cooperate very well. Are you really that confident that he can do it? Maybe, right now, all he can do is eavesdrop and spy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his vest tightened, then bounced up, creating a small bulge on his leather armor—this was Xia Zuo manipulating his blood element servant to squeeze a fleshy ball onto Serites' chest...

"Ahem, alright, I take back what I just said," Serites said, pressing down the bulge in her chest.

The curly-haired cat looked at Ceretus's disheveled appearance and asked Rexor, "Are you sure you don't need me to come along?"

“I'm sure.” Rexol nodded. “You have to cooperate with Ceretus in putting on a good show, and at the same time help him control any potential spies.”

“Okay.” The curly-haired cat leaped onto Celeste’s shoulder in a few strides and burrowed into his backpack. There was another blood magic golem in that bag, also made by Krestor.

"Then I'll get going and try to rejoin the Rose Knights as soon as possible." Serites tightened the straps of her backpack, waved goodbye to the bald man, and said, "Be careful, Leto. I'm waiting to play cards with you."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Rexor watched his companion leave.

After he waited until the surroundings became quiet, he lowered his head and said, "Xia Zuo, did you hear our conversation just now?"

Chapter 58 112 Million Bone Sacs

Inside the alchemy chamber of the temple's secret chamber.

Shazo had already noticed that Rexor was discussing something with Ceretus and Curly Cat.

The infiltration team split into three groups. Two of them kept causing trouble to attract the attention of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. Meanwhile, Rexor and Ceres took advantage of the church's team being lured away to venture deep into the anti-magic field and retrieve the intelligence container.

The plan has now taken a turn for the worse—the Church of the Otherworldly Demons has fallen into an eerie calm and is not reacting to the infiltration team that is trying to cause trouble.

Rexol then changed his plans.

He planned to have the troublemaking squad make an even bigger commotion—Xia Zuo wholeheartedly agreed to this suggestion. Hehe, he had already recovered nearly 400 vitality attribute points in the past two days. If the squad killed more monsters, their daily income would increase by at least 50%.

In addition, Rexor hopes that Shazo can help him infiltrate certain places and obtain information about the Church of the Otherworld.

This was not difficult for Xia Zuo.

but!

There's a question.

In Rexor's eyes, Shazo had never been to the anti-magic field before and was unfamiliar with many terms and place names.

If Shazo acts with absolute certainty, it might arouse Rexor's suspicion.

Fortunately, he took this into account in time.

So when Rexor asked for his opinion, Shazor manipulated the red vest on Rexor's body, extending a thin red thread that wove words in front of the bald man:

"I think I understand, but what is this 'Heterogeneous Group' you're talking about? Isn't it a force under the Temple?"

“They don’t belong to either side,” Rexor said. “The Church of the Otherworldly Demons is lax in managing its own territory. Apart from deploying alchemical implants, it basically doesn’t interfere with the lives and work of ordinary people. The Otherworldly Corporation deals in alchemical implants, buying them from the Church of the Otherworldly Demons and selling them to various forces within the anti-magic field. The Temple buys bone sacs from the Otherworldly Corporation for research. That’s all there is to their relationship.”

"So what do you want to do by going to the headquarters of the Yizhu Group?" Xia Zuo asked again.

“I want you to take a look around the headquarters and check on the inventory of key items,” Rexol explained. “A large portion of the Alchemy Biotech Corporation’s equipment comes from the Church of the Otherworld. If there’s a problem with that inventory, we can then send something to the Church of the Otherworld.”

So that's how it is... Xia Zuo wrote in red thread, "Okay, let's go."

The red thread retracted onto Rexor's vest.

Rexol packed his backpack and ran south.

After traveling for nearly an hour along the muddy forest path, Rexor entered Stillwater. He found the long-distance horse station, bought a ticket, boarded a carriage, and headed north through the Mogus Mountains, arriving at the northern side of the mountains.

Xia Zuo recalled that this seemed to be the territory of the Osi family. A long time ago, he had planned to use his Blood Element servants to follow the detectives of the Alien Group to explore this place, but he changed his mind. He didn't expect to end up here now.

The local cultural style is similar to that of modern civilization.

The buildings were rows of stone houses, no more than three stories high, with roads paved with square stone bricks and underground pipe openings covered by round metal caps. Most of the people coming and going wore old jackets and work pants. There were far more people on horseback than driving diesel locomotives. Gunmen, in addition to their firearms, often carried swords or daggers on their bodies.

The person Rexor is looking for isn't here.

He rested briefly in the city and then boarded a carriage heading east.

After another long journey, Rexor arrived at a city with architectural style reminiscent of the Silvermoon Federation.

The headquarters of the Yizhu Group is located in the center of the city, and the main building is a high-rise building of more than 20 stories.

Rexol found a room near the headquarters of the alien plant with a view of the building.

He patted his vest and said, "Xia Zuo, we've arrived." At this moment, Xia Zuo was immersed in the joy of gaining a large amount of vitality attribute points.

In the past three or four days, the infiltration team has killed more than 500 monsters and contributed more than 800 vitality points.

His "Vitality" stat on his panel has officially surpassed the 1500-point mark.

Upon hearing Rexor's call, Shazor immediately snapped out of his daze.

He first had Rexor crush a red glass bead, releasing another blood elemental servant.

He then controlled the servant to fly into the headquarters building of the Alien Corporation, and under Rexor's verbal guidance, he gradually ventured into the underground alchemical bio-armor warehouse.

As the Blood Element servant slipped past the guards and squeezed through the crack in the warehouse door, Shazo paused for a moment, then said to Rexor:

"You said there would be lots and lots of iron boxes containing alchemical implants here, right?"

Rexor looked at the words outlined in red in front of him and nodded. "Yes."

“But there’s nothing here,” Xia Zuo said. “There are no metal boxes, no one is patrolling, and the metal shelves are all empty. If it weren’t for the dust on the shelves that showed signs of metal boxes having been there, I would have thought I was in the wrong place.”

"How could this be?" Rexol rubbed his forehead, recalling the route he had taken to guide Shazo. "You didn't go to the wrong place; that's the warehouse where alchemical bio-armor is stored."

Rexor stood up, paced back and forth in the room, clenched his fists, and said, "I'm going to find someone and ask them what happened at the headquarters of the Alien Corporation."

He walked back to the red line and once again directed Xia Zuo to another room in the headquarters.

Here, through the perspective of the Blood Element servant, Xia Zuo sees a bald man flirting with his female secretary.

Rexor explained that this bald man, who was always busy with his secretary, was the head of the Alchemy Equipment Repair Department of the Alien Corporation. He was responsible for receiving damaged alchemy equipment and arranging repair work.

Rexor had Shazor follow him.

Later that day, outside a bar in the downtown area, as the bald man entered the parking lot and tried to drive away, a dark figure grabbed him and quickly dragged him into the car. Xia Zuo's blood-element servants spread out several opaque black nets, completely covering all the car windows to prevent outsiders from seeing what was happening inside.

After a "friendly" conversation with the bald man, Rexor learned an important piece of information from him.

Just two days before the infiltrating team stepped into the anti-magic field, the Church of the Otherworld sent a large number of Otherworlders and flesh alchemists, taking away the alchemical bio-equipment inventory of the Otherworld Corporation.

All inventory.

This includes alchemical bio-armor purchased from the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, as well as bio-armor developed by the Otherworldly Group itself.

Rexor immediately concluded that this was the Church of the Otherworldly Demons retrieving bone sacs.

Because regardless of the method or technique used to create alchemical implants, a bone sac is always a necessity.

And this bone sac is the common core of the Otherworldly Demons.

When used to create a hybrid mage, it will transform into a Bloodstone.

Use it to create a Shadow Fiend, and it will become a Shadow Core.

The fact that the Church of the Otherworld took away a large number of bone sacs indicates that they intend to create many Otherworlders.

As for how many bone sacs the Church of the Otherworldly Demons took away...

Despite the excruciating pain in his lower body, the bald man uttered a number:

112 million.

Of those, 1.2 were purchased from the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

The remaining 110 million bone sacs were manufactured by Isogene Corporation itself over the past few decades.

Chapter 59 Mind Seals

112 million bone sacs means that the Church of the Otherworld can create 112 million Otherworldly beings.

Upon hearing the news, Rexor's expression turned as somber as a deep pool.

You should know that in a world with magic and superpowers, just one or two thousand mages or otherworldly beings are enough to start a war that destroys a region.

For example, in the calamity that Tambus State suffered many years ago, according to post-disaster statistics, the number of demons deployed by the Church of the Demons was only 3000.

If all 112 million bone sacs were transformed into alien demons, the combined combat power would be enough to break through the blockade lines of the Crystal Remnant Territory and the Desolate Hammer Kingdom.

Moreover, with the ability to teleport, the Church of the Otherworldly Demons can launch cross-regional operations, no longer limited to the mortal-style strategy of pushing from east to west.

A full-scale war between the Temple and the Church of the Otherworldly Demons may be imminent.

Aside from that, Rexall couldn't think of any other use for these 112 million people.

This information was immediately relayed by Xia Zuo to Krestor in the adjacent alchemy room, who then informed the other pureblood mages and the temple.

One can imagine that the room outside the secret chamber must have become quite "lively".

In the tense atmosphere, Shazor's blood servants and Rexor set off again, heading straight for the inland lake more than ten kilometers away.

This lake is extremely vast, covering an area even larger than the city where the headquarters of the Yizhu Group is located.

Fortunately, the container containing the intelligence weighed over 90 kilograms, so it was not blown off course by the strong winds during its descent and fell straight down through the opening in the flesh wall.

Its appearance is that of a top-light, bottom-heavy cone. Its sharp and hard cone can break through the mud or water surface and penetrate into the soil or riverbed, so it will not be easily taken away by animals or monsters.
