Chapter 78 The Mystery of the Transmigrator and the Arrival of a New Enemy

The next day, the morning sun had not yet completely dispelled the chill of the night.

Inside the council chamber next to the central square of Dawn City, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Wang Hao summoned all the core senior executives of the community:

Li Hao, Li Wen, Zhao Meng, Wang Yi, Niu Dazhuang, Zhang Jinfeng, Zhang Xiaonan, Liu Xueqin, Zhou Mengting, and several retired cadres and teachers who are highly respected and reliable among the residents.

As a special "advisor" and a representative of the prisoners, Shadowmoon was also allowed to stand in the corner and listen.

The first item on the agenda of the meeting,

It was about further interrogation of those indigenous prisoners.

From the moment the natives were captured, Wang Hao arranged for experienced criminal police officers skilled in interrogation and observant evolved individuals to conduct separate interrogations and cross-verifications of the prisoners.

At this moment, Liu Xueqin, who is in charge of this matter, is reporting the shocking results.

"...Based on our repeated questioning and comparison of the testimonies of different prisoners, we can basically confirm one fact."

Liu Xueqin's voice was clear and serious: "These native humans are not the original inhabitants of this world."

A slight commotion immediately broke out in the council chamber.

Not an indigenous person?

Where did they come from?

Liu Xueqin continued, "They described how, about a few days ago, their entire tribe, along with the area where they were hunting and living, suddenly appeared in this completely unfamiliar mountain forest."

Niu Dazhuang's pupils widened, and he immediately said, "Isn't this very similar to our situation? We also suddenly appeared in this world!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

This situation is exactly the same as theirs.

Li Hao's eyes suddenly sharpened: "It might be related to the blood moon."

Liu Xueqin immediately nodded and said, "That's right, the time they mentioned happened to be the day the blood moon appeared."

Wang Hao immediately realized what was happening, tapping his fingers on the table: "It seems the Blood Moon is the key!"

"A blood moon also appeared last night!" a retired professor said in a deep voice. "It may not be a simple celestial phenomenon, but rather a signal of... spatial disturbance or transmission phenomenon!"

We've arrived at the first Blood Moon.

The second blood moon arrived.

"That was the third blood moon last night..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone felt a chill creep up their spines to the back of their heads.

It is conceivable that unknown and powerful creatures may have already arrived.

"So, these so-called natives are actually just like us...transmigrators!" Li Wen exclaimed in shock as he glanced at Yingyue in the corner, feeling as if his worldview had been refreshed once again.

"So," Zhao Meng continued, his voice carrying a suffocating urgency, "according to this pattern, last night's blood moon... means that something new has been transported to our vicinity!"

The council chamber fell into a deathly silence.

The crowd looked at each other.

They had just dealt with the powerful Behemoth tribe and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath.

New enemies, or even more powerful threats, have already quietly arrived.

Everyone's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, is this hell world even letting people live?!" Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

Zhang Jinfeng smiled wryly: "One wave subsides, another rises..."

Wang Hao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Panic is useless. The most important thing now is to figure out two things:

"First, who might the newcomer be? Second, how should we deal with them?" He turned to look at Li Hao.

"Li Hao, what are your thoughts?"

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "First, strengthen vigilance and reconnaissance."

Send all evolved beings with flight abilities to conduct large-scale patrols, especially in the direction where the blood moon appears.

Secondly, since the Shadowmoon Tribe also came from another world, their previous settlement, or rather the Behemoth Tribe's lair, may still retain some things from their original world, or resources collected by the Behemoths.

Those items might be able to enhance our strength.

Third, we must accelerate our own development and evolution; without strength, knowing a lot is useless.

"Agreed." Wang Hao nodded and said to everyone.

"The most urgent task is to acquire more resources and arm ourselves."

Li Hao looked at Yingyue and asked, "Yingyue, where exactly is your original tribe, or rather, the Behemoth's lair, located?"

What else is inside?

Shadowmoon, who was in the corner, stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Master, the Behemoth's lair is in a valley in that direction."

She pointed in a direction.

"That is where our tribe lives."

It should also contain some of our tribe's original weapons, tools, gathered herbs and food, as well as... magic cores and materials collected by the Behemoths after hunting other powerful creatures.

Magic cores! Food! Weapons and tools!

These words instantly made everyone's eyes light up.

These are exactly what Dawn City needs right now!

"There's no time to lose." Wang Hao stood up.

"Li Hao, I'd like you to select an elite team, with Shadowmoon as the guide, and set off immediately. Make sure to empty that nest!"

Half an hour later, an exploration team consisting of Li Hao, Zhao Meng, Wang Yi, Niu Dazhuang, Zhang Jinfeng, and twenty of the most skilled evolved individuals arrived.

Led by Yingyue, they quickly headed towards the valley to the northeast.

The team also included fifty selected, relatively docile native slaves responsible for carrying the loads.

The journey went surprisingly smoothly, with only a few low-level mutated beasts being dealt with.

The entrance to the valley is hidden, but the interior space is open.

Many simple but sturdy stone and wooden houses are built against the mountain, with a large stone piled up in the center.

A massive lair with a wild and untamed style.

The team first cleared the area around the nest to confirm that there were no remaining Behemoths or other dangers.

Then they started looting.

The harvest far exceeded expectations!

In the original warehouse of the Shadowmoon tribe, they found a large quantity of dried meat, sun-dried tuberous plants, and rough but practical stone and bone tools.

Some tough animal hides, and several bundles of long ropes tanned from special plant fibers.

Most importantly, they also found dozens of relatively well-made iron swords and spears!

Although the technology was outdated, the material was solid iron, which was undoubtedly a lifesaver for the community that lacked metal.

Deep within the Behemoth's giant rock lair, the harvest is even more thrilling.

In a corner reeking of stench and littered with animal bones, they found a "treasure chest" carved from a single massive boulder.

Inside were piled more than a dozen magic cores of various sizes and colors!

In addition to two silver magic cores and five black iron magic cores, there were also three thumb-sized, light blue evolution stones with strong energy fluctuations.

It was clearly a level-two mutated beast that was hunted down by this group of Behemoths!

In addition, there are some peculiar materials such as bones, horns, and scales that contain energy.

"We're rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"

Wang Yi picked up a black magic core, feeling the violent energy within it, and was extremely excited.

"These weapons and food will last us for a long time!" Niu Dazhuang said, his face beaming.

Li Hao then picked up the two silver magic cores and carefully sensed them.

The energy it contains is much purer than that of the Black Iron Magic Core, but it does not have the special properties of the Golden Magic Core.

He put away the magic core, deciding to go back and study how to use it.

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

Li Hao ordered the native slaves to pack up and bundle all the supplies they could carry and transport them back.

They came empty-handed and left laden with gifts.

Like a moving treasure trove, the team returned to Dawn City in the afterglow of the setting sun, carrying the joy of a bountiful harvest and the weight of its riches.

the other side.

Lakeside.

On an open space.

A figure is moving slowly.

That was neither human nor Behemoth.

It is about 1.8 meters tall, walks upright, and has a human-like torso and limbs.

The skin has a smooth, metallic grayish-white appearance.

Its head was hairless, its facial features were indistinct, and it had only two eyes that emitted a faint blue light.

What's most eye-catching is its equipment.

The entire right arm was completely wrapped in a streamlined, dark silver, biologically textured cyborg unit.

The right arm appears to be a size thicker than the left arm, and its end is not a palm, but a complex aggregate device with a hole.

It looked toward a mutated beast drinking water by the lake.

The mutated beast is a herbivorous creature with two giant horns.

It is over ten meters tall.

A virtual panel appeared in front of the humanoid creature:

[Mutant Life Forms: Non-Intelligent Creatures]

Bioenergy intensity ≈ 200-230 standard units

[Strength Level Assessment: Level 2 (Low Threat)]

It raised its right arm, and the aggregation device emitted a low, faint hum.

It shone with a concentrated, intense white light.

In less than a second, a white beam of light was emitted from the device.

call out.

Like a straight laser cannon.

It hit a mutated beast that was drinking water by the river.

"boom!"

The mutated beast that was hit exploded with its entire body.

Limbs and severed arms were scattered and flying everywhere.

Blood rained down from the sky.
