Chapter 212: The Tree of Passage

Within the Inner Ring World, there are 10 extremely large-scale transnational criminal groups.

The Path of Bliss is one of them, and it is also ranked fourth.

The main business of Bliss Road is the manufacture and sale of various illegal drugs. They strive to bring happiness to the world, make them feel ecstasy, and relieve all kinds of troubles.

Their customers are not just ordinary humans, but also include apprentices and extraordinary beings in the other world.

Sunflower seeds are the main raw material for making "Bliss Powder".

Bliss San is the most popular product among customers in the world.

They have low side effects, but can bring pleasure to extraordinary people, and can even slightly stimulate the growth of mental power.

Although long-term use can easily lead to addiction, there are many extraordinary people who regard it as a health supplement.

The vast majority of extraordinary people will never be able to cross the threshold of being a controller in their lifetime. In this case, why not enjoy yourself in time!

This is already the case for extraordinary beings, and apprentices are even more unable to resist the temptation of Bliss Powder.

3000 sunflower seeds, once made into bliss powder, can be exchanged for at least 300 points of spiritual energy.

This is such a huge amount of wealth, converted into credits issued by the world government, it is worth 300 million.

Of course, no one is stupid enough to do that.

In this world, psychic energy is the hard currency, and credits are just a piece of waste paper at critical moments.

Such a huge amount of wealth was actually hacked, twice in a row.

Even though it is as huge as the Paradise Path, it still feels quite painful.

The most important thing is that someone dares to touch the tiger's butt. This is so boring!

······

Initially, when something happened to the first transport ship, it took three days for the transportation department of Paradise Road to react.

Don't blame them for being so lazy, it's really because they haven't encountered such a thing as a lost ship for a long time.

Wait until the investigation team they sent finds the missing freighter.

This cargo ship has been regarded as a "ghost ship" and has encountered many tourists.

These tourists not only took photos, but also took away many things.

But where is the advantage of Paradise Road that is so easy to take advantage of?

In particular, their goods are all highly valuable contraband, worth a full billion.

It only took a week for Bliss Road to recover all the goods.

Then they discovered that the sunflower seeds were missing.

No matter how tortured they were, all the tourists said they had not seen it at all.

In this case, the sunflower seeds could only have been taken away by the perpetrators.

But what is extremely strange is that Bliss Road has exhausted all methods and has not been able to find out the identity of the perpetrator.

Especially the perpetrator's purpose really puzzled them.

Without the formula of Bliss Powder, the seeds of sunflower are extremely poisonous.

Moreover, this kind of plant can only live in places with abundant spiritual energy. There are few places in the inner world suitable for planting. What's the use of stealing it?

If you say it's a crime, but you only took away the seeds of the sunflower, the remaining goods are obviously more valuable, but you don't care at all.

This is so weird.

······

Since no monitoring equipment was installed on the freighter, Ji Le Dao had no choice but to let it go and admit that it was bad luck.

This is a smuggling ship, and even the use of electronic equipment is strictly prohibited. How dare they install surveillance equipment.

It is not that it has not been attacked by hostile organizations before, but at least there are traces of battle left on the ship.

No matter how secretive the opponent's actions are, with these battle traces, Paradise Road will eventually be able to find out the opponent.

But this time the perpetrator was too strange and cruel.

All the crew members on the ship were burned to ashes, but there were no traces of the battle left, not even footprints.

With the security force equipped on the ship, even a team of controllers would be difficult to do so cleanly.

It can't be those top controllers who have touched the power of authority, right?

It’s just 1,500 sunflower seeds, which is too cheap.

······

Because the other party did it so neatly and neatly, Ji Le Dao only lost a jar of sunflower seeds, so he stopped making a fuss and endured it.

However, more than a month later, another of their transport ships disappeared again.

This time Ji Le Dao responded very quickly, and it only took half a day to lock the lost ship.

Then the members of the Paradise Path who boarded the ship immediately were frightened by the strangeness on the ship.

There were burnt traces of human figures everywhere on the freighter.

It can be seen that the deceased met a miserable end, being burned to death bit by bit.

No matter what methods they use, they can't seem to extinguish the flames on them.

What’s even more strange is that the flames did not cause any damage to the hull or cargo.

After some inspection, as expected, all the goods were intact, except that a jar of sunflower seeds was missing.

This time maybe it was because it came in time, or maybe the perpetrator was too arrogant.

They finally made an unexpected discovery.

A paw print of a bird creature appeared on the jar containing sunflower seeds.

Sunflower seeds contain huge vitality. In order to facilitate smuggling, the jar used by Paradise Road is naturally an extraordinary item.

But now this canister that can hold a bomb has a bird's paw print on it.

No matter how unbelievable it is, the identity of the perpetrator is still evident.

Their Paradise Road was actually robbed by a bird with extraordinary bloodline.

No wonder the perpetrators were not interested in other goods, because they were not human at all.

This is really XXX.

After the news was passed back to the headquarters, the senior executives were so angry that they laughed.

They originally thought that they were being targeted by a rival again, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

A mere extraordinary bird dared to rob their Ji Le Dao, so they must catch it and roast it.

Well, in fact, the instructions from the top were to catch it alive.

After all, it ate so many poisonous sunflower seeds, but this bird was still alive and kicking, which was incredible to think about.

Especially the blood power it possessed, which made the Ji Le Dao senior executives even more curious.

It was able to kill 172 of their members silently, and this power was worth studying carefully.

Even if they couldn't find anything, they could sell this bird to [Animal Dao].

These guys specialize in studying biological evolution, selling various rare species, and they like strange creatures the most.

······

[Heavenly Way], [Reincarnation Way], [Hell Way], these are the top three transnational criminal organizations in the Inner Ring World.

Even their business scope is not limited to the Inner Ring World, they are also well-known in the Outer Ring World.

Below them are [Elysian Way], [Wrongful Death Way], [Shura Way], [Animal Way], [Biochemical Way], [Pink Way] and [Gambling Way].

Among them, the Wrongful Death Way is mainly responsible for the assassin business, which is considered to be the largest assassin group in the Inner Ring World.

The Asura Way operates various underground arenas, where fists hit the flesh and brains splatter.

As for the Biochemical Way, they can be pharmaceutical companies that save lives and heal the wounded, or they can be biological research institutes that spread various viruses.

The Pink Way operates the flesh trade, and occasionally involves human trafficking.

The last Gambling Way naturally refers to the largest gambling group in the Inner Ring World.

In fact, except for [Heavenly Dao], [Reincarnation Dao] and [Hell Dao], the remaining seven companies occasionally have overlapping businesses and want to enter other fields.

This is the root of their struggle.

Recently, the Paradise Dao and the Biochemical Dao have been quite unhappy. They originally thought that this time the black-eating-black was done by those insidious guys.

After all, the black light virus developed by the Biochemical Dao can also turn extraordinary people into charcoal silently.

······

Another 10 days have passed. The members of the Paradise Dao have been waiting for their brains to smoke, but the thief has never appeared.

"Captain, we can't wait like this anymore. We are just wasting time."

"In my opinion, either the bird is not in the nearby sea area."

"Or it is too full and can't digest it recently."

"Three thousand sunflower seeds may have poisoned it to death."

After waiting for a long time, the ambushed Paradise Dao members finally couldn't bear it anymore.

They are used to enjoying themselves, how can they bear the hardships of the sea?

"I also know that as time goes by, the chances of us catching it will become smaller and smaller."

"But the group has recently sent a batch of very important goods, which includes sunflower seeds."

"If we don't find out the specific strength of the bird, it will be a bit troublesome!"

"If it is robbed by the thieves again, or even hijacked by someone with ulterior motives, the loss will be great."

As the captain of this operation, Zhou Yankun didn't want to wait foolishly.

But they had no other choice.

In fact, their operation this time was quite dangerous, after all, the strength of the strange bird was unknown.

It is very likely that they would turn into ashes in one encounter.

But this is a task issued by the headquarters, and they can only obey.

Fortunately, as long as the strength of the bird can be confirmed, there is no need to fight desperately.

As long as there is detailed information, it is just a bird, and Ji Le Dao has plenty of ways to deal with it.

But now that the other party does not appear, they are a bit blind.

If the other party is poisoned to death, it will be fine, but if it is really robbed again after the group's important goods are shipped out to sea.

Their team will definitely be blamed and become a scapegoat.

"Captain, the people from the Tianwu School of Spells are coming soon."

"We are standing here openly. Once they find us, it will be difficult for us to survive."

"Those students from the School of Spells like to use us to earn credits."

The subordinates are still persuading them, which is the main reason why they want to run away quickly.

Zhou Yankun couldn't help but frown after hearing this. After thinking about it, he finally made a decision.

"Forget it, just report the truth directly!"

"At most, invite one of the ten generals to take charge of the next cargo transportation."

"A mere bird is insignificant to the top controllers who have already touched the power!"

It seems that they are quite afraid of the Tianwu School of Spells, or they don't want to cause trouble.

After Zhou Yankun's application was sent, the top leaders of Jiledao quickly agreed to their evacuation plan.

They are not the Skull and Bones Society, who dare to smash the Tianwu School of Spells.

These extreme organizations have always kept a distance from the ten super schools of spells.

Especially during the enrollment examination, they stayed far away, fearing that they would get into trouble.

Compared with the top ten super magic schools, even though they were famous, their strength was still far behind.

······

The reason why the Paradise did not wait for the Red Falcon King was, of course, because it was locked up by Chen Qi.

After realizing that he was being targeted by a malicious force, Chen Qi dared not let Xiao Hong go out for a walk.

There was no other way. His current strength was a little weak. To be on the safe side, he could only let Xiaohong be his bodyguard.

Although Xiaohong was powerless against sea monsters, she was a professional match for bad guys.

After the party, Chen Qi studied hard for 10 days in a row.

It was quite strange that the guy who was staring at him didn't come to his door.

But this didn't mean that nothing happened. Four of his classmates had died, and they were all the strongest ones.

Even among the remaining ones, some claimed that they had nightmares and fevers.

They were superhumans who were immune to all diseases and could control their dreams at will.

This strange thing happened, and it was obvious that they were plotted against.

All the weak ones survived, but the four strong ones died.

This can only mean that the four should have discovered the other party's means, fought back, and were killed.

Then Chen Qi was worried. If someone came to his door, should he turn a blind eye?

If you can be patient, you will have peace and tranquility; if you can take a step back, you will have a broader horizon.

Or should you be patient?

······

"Heisha, you have been making a lot of noise recently."

"The exam is getting closer and closer, but candidates are dying one after another."

"If we attract the attention of the Tianwu Spell Academy, we will all be wiped out."

Deep in the earth, a dark and shriveled ancient tree lives here strangely.

It does not see the sun or drink spring water, but survives tenaciously by relying on the chaotic energy extracted from the depths of the earth.

On its bare branches, there are more than a dozen strange spirits hanging, which look like the hanged ghosts in folk legends.

These are the members of Akitas direct team.

And these are the members at the bottom. The three captains are still hiding deeper in the earth.

"Gray Evil, I'm just following the orders of Lord Amira!"

"That third prince is a waste. Not only did he cause Lord Akitas to disappear, but he also caused three captains to be seriously injured and had to hide under the earth to recuperate."

"With this Tongyou tree, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"No one can find us unless they are silver apostles!"

"The Kingdom of Dikara is just a place for written examinations. The Tianwu Spell Academy can only send one top controller at most."

"They have 100 places to apply for the examination. Even if there are many silver apostles in the ten major spell academies, they all stay in the outer ring world."

The Black Evil is the one who spied on Chen Qi and others in the building before.

Its task is to confirm whether Lord Akitas is parasitic on the 17 high-level extraordinary people.

The result is not ideal. It has checked 13 of them and still hasn't found Lord Akitas.

In fact, it knows very well that Lord Akitas should not have chosen those 17 high-level extraordinary people to parasitize.

Perhaps Lord Akitta really had an accident, or was even seriously injured and dying.

It was in this panic that it acted a little violently, directly killing four extraordinary people who had discovered its whereabouts.

"Hmph, take it easy anyway, don't drag us down if you want to die."

"We found the whereabouts of a top controller of the Tianwu Spell Academy in Mala Port."

"She should have come to inspect the applicants in advance, after all, this is their usual method."

"There is no way, we can only withdraw first."

"Although we can't be 100% sure, Lord Akitta should still be near Mala Port."

"Heisha, you can give up your mission there, there is no need to make trouble."

Gray Evil spoke again, and several other strange spirits also echoed.

Heisha killed the examinee, which was simply a slap in the face of Tianwu Spell Academy.

Heisha didn't know how terrible Tianwu Spell Academy was, but they experienced it personally.

That day in Mala Port, the one from Tianwu Spell Academy just accidentally leaked a little bit of breath.

They were several kilometers away and were almost scared to death.

Heisha, this fool, wants to die but don't drag us down with him.

The only thing that surprised them was that those who could enter the Tianwu Spell Academy were all geniuses, so how could they not be able to restrain their breath.

Why did that one suddenly lose control of her breath?

Did she suddenly discover something?

If it weren't for the fact that there was no news of Lord Akitas death yet, they would have thought that Lord Akitas was discovered.

"Hehe, you cowards, you only know how to run away."

"I'm different. As long as the tasks assigned by the adults are completed, I will definitely work hard to complete them."

"I will definitely check all the 17 guys."

"If you are still lazy here after I come back, I will see how I will complain."

Perhaps because he knew that the Tianwu Spell Academy had arrived, Heisha was afraid of death even if he was stupid and bold.

Then he saw that a certain spirit hanging on the Tongyou tree was split into two, which was Heisha separating a sub-body, and the main body was still hanging on the tree.

Although this is not a unique ability of the Black Evil, it is the best among its dozen companions.

That is why it acts recklessly.

As long as it does not encounter a tough guy, even if its sub-body dies, its main body will not be implicated.

And with the power of the Tongyou Tree, it can also transmit the power of the main body to the sub-body, without worrying about insufficient combat power.

This is one of the reasons why their skeletons are so powerful.

What these minions are using now is only a small branch of the 9th generation offspring split from the real Tongyou Tree, which is only suitable for these weaklings.

The three captains who were recuperating under the earth used a more advanced Tongyou Tree, which was the 8th generation offspring.

"Tsk, aren't you still afraid of death?"

Looking at the tough but timid look of Heisha, the dozen spirits on the Tongyou Tree laughed disdainfully.

They are not lazy, but cautious.

After all, there is now a top controller who has touched the power of authority in Malagang, and he can kill them with just a breath.

Damn Heisha, he actually wanted to report it, it's better to die outside.

However, a few hours later, their wish was actually fulfilled.

Even the offspring of Heisha died, and its body was also burning with black flames.

At first, Huisha and others were gloating, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the weird black flames burned more and more vigorously, not only burning Heisha to death, but also igniting the Tongyou Tree.

They had long been tied to the branch of the Tongyou tree. As the Tongyou tree burned more and more, they became more and more desperate.

"No, I don't want to die!"

"Damn Black Evil, what on earth did you provoke to burn here!"

"It's over, this fire can't be extinguished at all!"

"Captain Amira, save me!"

"Captain Ainas, I don't want to die!"

Unfortunately, no matter how the Gray Evils called for help, the three captains hiding deeper in the earth seemed not to hear.

However, this was impossible.

With the induction between Tongyou trees, how could they not find it?

In the end, all the strange spirits disappeared completely in the black fire along with the Tongyou tree.
