Lin Sheng’s face grave as he looked at the monsters shown on the screen.
“How is the stress of the patrol team?” he asked.
“Their stress level is fine, casualty is low. With the presence of the Sanctum’s purification force field, and the clergies wearing the thick protective armor, they could still use holy power for self-healing. So casualty is minimal. But the alloy for making the armors and weapons is running out quick. The warriors need their weapons and armor maintained, and guns and bullets replenished. So there is a huge shortfall of the metal,” said the chief of logistics support, Madillan. The other heads of workshops echoed.
Lin Sheng thought for a moment and said, “Can’t we get ore from the tunnel? Where did we get the metal alloy last time?”
“Mostly transshipped from the mineral base. Now with the breaking out of the Black Tide, I’m afraid things are not looking good for the metal processing plant there,” Madillan quickly replied. “The ore of the Ashen World at the tunnel has high radiation, not suitable for large-scale equipment application.”
“I will report to the Sanctum division master, requesting her to lead a team to open up a supply route.” Lin Sheng so decided. “Besides, use attack types that consume the least resource.”
“Agree. The country is too busy worrying about their own problem. We should be self-sustaining in our area of jurisdiction and looking for the best survival method.” Someone from the top echelon echoed.
Security head who was also the associate professor said, “Seagal, I’ve got the latest information about the monsters, I hope everyone sees it.”
Lin Sheng nodded.
When the associate professor connected his phone to the projector, new footages showed up on the screen. In between two high-rises, a red humanoid caught everyone’s attention. It was a female humanoid glowing in red. She had two sharp horns, shoulder-length black hair, a pair of blue eyes, a slim body with a long and slender tail. Flame was burning on her tail, illuminating the surroundings. It was her tail from which the red glow came.
“This creature seems to be a complete race. I call it the Fire Devil,” said the associate professor. “Appeared since last night, the Fire Devil is a brand new species. Most of them are female. They can handle poisonous flames up to two thousand degrees. Anyone who gets burned by them would be in deep shit. It’s difficult to heal.”
“What level of resistance force required?”
“One whole team of Two Wingers for every one Fire Devil. Fortunately, the Fire Devils work independently, they have so far posed not much of a problem for us. I hope everyone takes note.”
“Understood. These monsters are nasty. Most likely there is a strict class distinction in their race. And this means that with the appearance of the Fire Devils, there are nastier and higher-class monsters.”
“We’d better get a sample or live specimen and let the researchers study a solution.”
“Agree. We need some fireproof gear.”
People said their pieces. They were no armchair strategists. In fact, their suggestions were practical. Lin Sheng listened to each of them and then decided whether to accept.
“For now, according to the law in the Ashen World, there must be a Lair of Distortion behind the Fire Devils. Otherwise, monsters of this class would not have launched unbridled attacks against human settlements,” Cainphas said.
“The Lair of Distortion?” Lin Sheng was hearing the term for the first time. So too many of those who present. Everyone looked puzzled.
“It’s hard to explain now. All you all need to know is the Lair of Distortion is sort of an arsenal for certain monsters,” Cainphas said.

There was a deep frown on Lin Sheng’s face.
“Destroy it. Put together a strike team with higher-order clergies.”
“OK.”
“Agree.”
“Agree.”
As the meeting ended, Lin Sheng told them that he needed some quiet time. Back to the research center, he sent the monster resistance test data to the defense department.
As the Black Tide got more rampant, the people in Miga were moving towards the cities. The government was working together with the Asterism of the Moon Basin to build a large settlement. They relied on the line of defenses comprising the Darksiders in fighting the Black Tide. But such defenses were precarious because the Black Tide could appear anywhere. So they had to keep their defenses at the highest level of alert to guard against internal and external threats. But in Henricqal, things were much better; they only needed to worry about threats from the outside.
After transmitting the information, Lin Sheng returned to the instrument that looked like a large silver gyroscope. He took out a colorful test tube that had once again undergone holy power purification.
“It’s the seventeenth time… the live specimen test is complete. Everything is normal and the enhancement result is positive. There shouldn’t be a problem.” Lin Sheng took off the cork and smelled the content. A faint waft of preserved plum permeated into the air. This was the Chaotic Blood. Repeated purification process had cleaned the blood of toxins.
With the test tube in hand, Lin Sheng raised his head and emptied the entire tube of Chaotic Blood into his mouth. The purified liquid tasted sweet with a slight cool mint flavor. After downing the liquid, Lin Sheng poured some water into the test tube and then drank it. He had gulped down all the Chaotic Blood, which he got from the Darkspirit General. He wasted not a single drop.
Lin Sheng entered the quarantine cell, closed his eyes and began to feel the changes in his body. He felt hot as the Chaotic Blood slowly permeated his blood, mixing with the blood of the Rock Dragon. An amazing assimilation process was underway.
Time was ticking away. One hour. Two hours. Three hours…
Lin Sheng’s body became heavier, broader and stronger with the modification of the Chaotic Blood. He could feel a special ability had grown in his body. It was an ability to energize matter between illusion and reality. Some part of his blood vessels and meridian turned semi-transparent into a void-energy state.
Another four hours had passed. Sitting in the cultivation room, Lin Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
“The Chaotic Blood… I can’t believe it! It enhanced my body this way!” He also did not expect the function of the Chaotic Blood was to turn part of his body energy into void state. This would greatly improve the energy transmission efficiency inside his body. Whether it was his holy power or dark energy, they were all working in an amazing state.
“That means my power and energy defense ability have improved beyond description. My body can turn into a void state for a certain length of time, just like the dark spirit life form…”
Wait! Just like the dark spirit life form?
Lin Sheng abruptly turned around, looking toward the Darkspirit tunnel. If… if I can disguise myself as a dark spirit and enter the Darkspirit tunnel, that means I can get an endless supply of soul power? The idea knocked his socks off. No one had ever dared to venture into the world of the dark spirit. Not even the best elites from the Blackfeather City. No one had ever dared to step into the otherworld and dimension. Without camouflage, going there was a suicide.
Now, the Chaotic Blood had given Lin Sheng this possibility. Stepping into the unknown dimension was risky, but the return could be enormous. At least he did not have to wait for the dark spirits to take his bait and came into the tunnel. He could just go out there and devour the dark spirits like a whale gulping the planktons. His soul power was going to experience a huge upgrade.
“If that is workable, then it would be even better than killing monsters in the dreams!” Lin Sheng became excited. With his current condition, it was not hard at all for him to realize this idea.
