The Haul, Setting Off for the Special Zone

He found that the higher the intelligence level of these organisms, the less affected they were by the aberrations.

These factors may also be related to the strength of the three-dimensional attributes; the higher the strength, the greater the resistance.

Upon approaching the central depression, the Avatar looked at the six unconscious people in the center. Their skin was covered with black and red patterns, and their bodies exuded a strange sense of strength.

Their bodies were covered in wildly growing hair, something seemed to be protruding from their foreheads, and some even had the beginnings of red snake scales on their bodies.

Avatar gasped, realizing this was perhaps the method these cults used to enhance physical fitness.

Through this bizarre ritual, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi is gathered to combine and create a kind of Heaven and Earth Qi with extreme properties that enhances the body.

This causes physical mutations in them, greatly enhancing their three-dimensional attributes, ultimately enabling them to meet the requirements and successfully take up their posts.

Thinking about this, even the Avatar couldn't help but admire their madness; they actually dared to improve their physical fitness in this way.

Exposed to such extreme radiation from the Heaven and Earth Qi, it goes without saying how strong their bodies are.

As a result, the life essence and innate vital energy consumed will be greatly reduced, thus shortening one's lifespan.

This is similar to those enhanced warriors selected through gene editing, who achieve tremendous improvements in a very short time at a huge cost.

Looking around, the dozen or so corpses of the cultists had basically turned into a pool of blood and mud, their bones so soft and limp that they could no longer support their skeletons, leaving them flat and lifeless.

He speculated that although these six people, who were strongly influenced by the Heaven and Earth Qi, had improved their physical fitness to some extent, their mental state, life essence, and lifespan were also greatly reduced.

The largest individuals, judging from their scales, may have undergone genetic mutations.

After checking their physical condition, they are not in any immediate danger.

The Avatar didn't bother with them either. Given the current state of the world, unless there were huge benefits involved, he usually wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Given the current state of society, even these long-extinct cults are re-entering Hua Country and becoming active everywhere. Who knows what kind of monsters and demons they might attract by meddling in other people's business?

Although Wang An possesses the talent of Avatar an avatar, if pushed too far, he can simply unleash his full power against the opponent.

As long as one is still a mortal being, there is no one who is immune to this move.

Moreover, they can be resurrected repeatedly. Being targeted by such a "terrorist" every day, no force can withstand it.

So, as it is now, this group of cultists must have mobilized an immense amount of resources to find this auspicious feng shui location and a large number of Class Change Stone to set up this sacrificial ritual.

Therefore, for the Avatar, the entire sacrificial ceremony, the placement of each Class Change Stone, their arrangement, and these twenty or thirty Class Change Stone important.

For him, it was a huge benefit, worth the effort, even if it meant getting into trouble with this cult.

Then, find all 18 Class Change Stone around the center, excluding the 12 Class Change Stone, and collect all the ritual setup materials Avatar by this group of cultists.

Record all the data of this feng shui energy node so that in the future, a high-density feng shui energy chamber suitable for him can be arranged.

Avatar erased all traces of his actions, ignoring the six people who were still unconscious, figuring they would return on their own once they woke up.

Quickly gather your spoils and head towards the mountains to your left to catch up with the exploration team.

The Avatar delivered all the spoils of war to Wang An's main body.

In the evening, back home, I began to deal with the spoils of war.

30 Class Change Stone; items used by the cultists to arrange sacrificial rituals, such as crosses and cult symbols; detection data of local magnetic field nodes; and data from instruments used to detect the terrain.

And there's the blue-robed priest's research log on arranging the sacrificial ritual:

1. Our God said: Sacrifice is necessary; the energies of heaven and earth must converge, and the place where they gather is the venue for the ceremony.

2. My God says: We need a spiritual place where all things in the world can gather and offer their essence as a sacrifice to My Lord.

3. My God said: Intense emotions and a physical body are needed as anchors to Bearing His power.

[Priest] Profession

Function: Enhances understanding of ritual sacrifices offered to a particular deity.

Skill: Divine Revelation, able to find solutions inexplicably based on one's strong thoughts.

Wang An saw the research log of the blue-robed priest, which recorded the abilities of the priest profession, and was somewhat tempted by the [Divine Revelation] skill.

However, the job requirements here—believing in a certain god and performing a sacrifice for him—were too low-return and not cost-effective, so he abandoned the idea.

Subsequently, they continued to study the merits of their sacrificial ritual, learning from its strengths and compensating for its weaknesses, laying the foundation for the subsequent arrangement of the high-concentration Azure Yang Qi in the Qi chamber.

The next day, when Avatar exploration team returned to the Huang Family Village camp...

In this operation, after deducting the 30 meteorites obtained by the Avatar from the cult, a total of 9 Class Change Stone and 9 meteorites were collected.

What the exploration team members knew was 6 Class Change Stone and 7 meteorites.

Previously, the Avatar was still considering whether or not to hand over so many Class Change Stone.

However, after obtaining 30 Class Change Stone from the cult, they decided to exchange these Class Change Stone for funds to strengthen the entire [Changnan Interstellar] Company's exploration team and cope with the increasingly harsh exploration environment later on.

Ultimately, to the astonishment of the staff at the Recovery and Management Department, the Avatar produced a total of 6 Class Change Stone and 7 Meteorites, receiving a total of 6.7 million in remittances.

This is the company's largest revenue in the past month or so.

However, after more than ten days of looting, the Class Change Stone and meteorite of Mount Huaiyu have been almost completely collected.

The other exploration teams also gradually prepared to leave.

So when they returned in Avatar, they saw the exploration team and several Daoist priests hired by the Celestial Master Mansion of Mount Longhu who had withdrawn.

The Chen Martial Arts School's exploration team returned after a few days of exploration and has now withdrawn.

The exploration team plans to rest for a few days at the Huang Family Village camp before returning to Changnan to prepare for even more challenging tasks ahead.

Wang An himself, along with representatives from various factions and personnel participating in the special area operation, boarded a helicopter at Changnan Military Airport and headed to a location in the Luoxiao Mountains.

There were no major incidents along the way, as the flight was mostly in a straight line and everyone was traveling at a relatively high speed.

After a five- or six-hour flight, they were finally nearing their destination: a special camp under construction.
