Discussing Important Matters!
Li Yao continued reading—
Upon discovering this characteristic, the test group immediately began a control experiment.
The selected goblin test subjects were placed in an observation room with consistent environmental parameters, and they were allowed to become infected with evil attributes through observation.
After being infected, the first goblin underwent a drastic personality change, exhibiting obvious manic and violent traits. He uncontrollably vented his rage and eventually died from the failure of his internal organs. After exhibiting violent traits, the second test subject was provided with a large amount of food and water by the experimental group. The second goblin survived for a longer period of time and eventually died from the rupture of blood vessels throughout his body.
After the third goblin received sufficient nutrition, the experimental group placed a Dire Wolf in the observation room. The Dire Wolf was tortured and killed and made into food in just twenty-five seconds.
The third goblin's body surface developed faint, ghastly green markings, and its originally light brown eyes were tinged with grayish-green...
It is noteworthy that all the goblin test subjects exhibited a strange vitality after death, as if they had not died.
The second control experiment involved diluting the substance at a ratio of 1:100 and then infecting the target gnomes through feeding, injection, nebulized inhalation, and limb contact.
The results show that:
After direct contact with the substance, the test subjects experienced a significant increase in physical abilities: their physiques grew larger and their strength increased.
One of the goblins actually killed a ferocious wolf!
Master!
This would be considered exceptionally brave among ordinary goblin tribes! Moreover...
Giant goblins are somewhat similar to orcs in the Main World.
Legend has it that the orcs originated from a mutation caused by a group of Giant Goblin stealing power from the abyss. (Of course, the orcs don't accept this explanation, which is why they particularly hate these cute green-skinned creatures. Whether it's orcs degenerating into goblins, or goblins stealing power from the abyss to become orcs—the orcs seem unable to accept either.) What's rather puzzling is...
The Pale Orc in the Main World are identical to the green-skinned orcs in almost every way, except for their skin color.
Where did they originate? The existence of the Pale Orc also became strong evidence for the Green-skinned Orcs to deny that they originated from goblins.
Regardless,
We have reason to believe that this malevolent substance is highly likely to be related to the abyss.
Whether it's the goblins exhibiting orcish characteristics after being infected by the substance, the location of the Storm Sea, or even the faint demonic aura emanating from the substance when it appeared, all clues point to the Abyss! Recommendation 1:
The association could next focus its investigation on the abyss.
Recommendation 2:
When dispatching an investigation team, it is best to have High-Rank Mage specializing in protection and High-Rank Mage specializing in enchanting accompany them.
Recommendation 3:
Mages below the highest rank are strictly prohibited from contacting this substance. Any mage who comes into contact with this substance must undergo dual verification by both the Transmutation Faction and Enchantment School, and be quarantined for seven days for observation after confirming that there are no adverse effects.
Recommendation 4:
This substance exhibits extreme immunity to attacks constructed from spiritual power, greatly enhancing the physical attributes of infected targets. Furthermore, it possesses an extremely strong corrosive effect on normal life forms, making it very difficult to handle. Ordinary adventure teams are advised to stay away from this substance.
Recommendation 5:
A large-scale warning has been issued within the association's jurisdiction, and any phenomena related to this substance must be dealt with immediately!
Recommendation 6:
Could you please stop isolating me?
I'm a legend, you know! ('he')
Seeing this, Li Yao was amused again by the report...
Are all mages this... interesting? Finally, the Legendary Mage who wrote the report praised the goblins again before ending the report.
The remaining content consists of the written records after the report was submitted to the Council of Association.
The record largely followed the advice of the Legendary Mage wrote the report, except for a dispute over the name of the substance.
Lin Xiaowei was already in quarantine, insisted before being quarantined that this should be called "the Light of Affection".
Most monks do not understand the meaning of this name.
Such a sweet and cloying name is likely a product of teenage girl's emotions, so the council members immediately rejected Lin Xiaowei's suggestion.
But Li Yao understood the meaning behind the name.
after,
Members of the council argued over "Filth Light", "Green Poison", and "Verdant Plague".
Ultimately, the Filth Light won by a narrow margin and became the name of the substance.
Following the meeting, the Mage Association issued a notice to all planes regarding the meeting's content, strictly prohibiting low-level mages and adventurer groups from handling related matters. Any such matters discovered must be reported to the Association immediately!
The association will dispatch High-Rank Mage to lead teams to handle related incidents! Reporting to groups or individuals will result in a large reward, as well as a variable number of inspections and a quarantine period of varying duration.
The monks didn't mention the last two points.
After being quarantined and confirmed to be safe, Lin Xiaowei was released from the quarantine room. Through her teacher's connections, she obtained a sample with strict protective measures and sent it to Li Yao.
After reading all this, Li Yao gritted his teeth, feeling a slight headache.
This is a real hot potato! But best friends are for dealing with hot potatoes! After reading the vivid and interesting report, Li Yao texted Lin Xiaowei: "You're in quarantine?"
Lin Xiaowei: "..."
She said weakly, "Don't even mention it. The internet, books, and all sources of information were cut off. Even food and water were prepared in advance in a week's worth... I am very sad."
If one is not a monk, one can pass the time through meditation and consolidating what one has learned.
A seven-day period of complete confinement is enough to cause great harm to the mental health of a normal person.
All right,
Few of the monks are normal people.
Li Yao continued, "So you want me to find a way to effectively kill them?"
Lin Xiaowei: "That's right."
She paused for a moment and then sent a voice message: "The association is applying to use a Queen Mother to mass-produce infected individuals in an attempt to find a way to kill them. This experiment is top secret, and even with my limited access, I can't know too much, except that the results are not satisfactory. On the contrary, the Pure Physical Attack Cannon I invented, which saturates and covers the area, has a good effect, but the efficiency is still too low."
Life forms infected by this substance have extremely strong defenses against spiritual energy!
Only physical attacks with sufficient kinetic energy can damage its body and weaken its threat!
As for how to deal with this substance...
The mages don't have a good solution yet.
After understanding these,
Li Yao also felt that it was somewhat tricky.
However, he replied, "I will find a way to kill them."
Lin Xiaowei: "It's not just about how to kill them, but also how to deal with the Verdant Matter. That stuff is so contaminated it's terrifying! Also, the device I gave you is a confinement device, but it's not foolproof. When you're conducting large-scale experiments, you'd better use some other method to isolate it."
Li Yao: "Don't worry!"
After ending the chat, Li Yao thought for a moment and then sent a message to Maeve and Han Xiaosang: "Come to Phoenix Camp quickly to discuss important matters!"
This is the second update. Hope you enjoy reading!
