My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Sophia said with a lingering fear, "Not only was the Black Crow rapidly eroded, I even have an intuition that if the Black Crow could have lasted longer, this invisible erosive force would have spread from the Black Crow to me."

"This is too terrifying, Crow!"

But the good news is, there are indeed no monsters inside.

Mu Yuan also dared not let this Heart of Corruption continue to exist; heaven knows when it would be completely constructed.

He looked at Duo Lai, "Do you have any Ice Clear Potions on you?"

An Excellence-grade Ice Clear Potion possesses the ability to counteract the erosion of the Red Fog. During the disaster moon, the strong must use this type of potion if they wish to operate outdoors for extended periods, in order to prevent themselves from being eroded, and thus mutated or degenerated.

Duo Lai reached hand toward his stomach, plunging it directly into the pitch-black opening of space, "Let me check."

He had habitually... been reminded by Mu Yuan, habitually stocking some items in Dimensional Space.

The volume of the Dimensional Space was already considerable, and as Duo Lai's level and Profession Level increased, it continued to expand; now the capacity of this space bag in its pocket could match that of ten thousand storage equipments.

Storing more items is to be prepared for any eventuality.

It's just that there were too many items, and Duo Lai seemed to have placed them haphazardly, digging in the space bag for a long time before saying, "Found them, found them, there are seven left!"

Seven, enough for three people to use for two rounds.

"This arduous task is now handed over to you, Duo Lai, Rakshasa, Sophia—find the constructing Heart of Corruption and purify it!"

"What about me?"

Sario's eyes widened.

Mu Yuan patted its dragon scales, "Your task is also very arduous, to be responsible for backing up the three Duo Lai."

Sario's tail stood up on the spot, the Soul Flame in its pupils flaring up; it was filled with a high fighting spirit and unyielding faith.

What an important mission this was.

And this mission rested entirely on its own dragon form.

Reconstructing the glory of the Giant Dragon, Sario could not shirk its responsibility.

Mu Yuan was actually trying to save the Ice Clear Potion; such a potion was low in production, and there were only a few on Duo Lai. Most importantly, Sario was not a Hero Unit; entering the Red Fog Area would only waste a potion for no good reason, better to stay outside.

He wouldn't go in himself either.

If he was incarnated here, he could still be functional, but what he had sent to this place was just a spirit manifesting body, which not only lacked the ability to purify but would certainly not withstand the erosion of the Red Fog.

Duo Lai and the others gulped down the Ice Clear Potion and flew towards the distant land shrouded in Red Fog.

However, Rakshasa couldn't fly; it could only transform into a smoky cloud to leap momentarily and did not have the ability to fly.

Duo Lai then whipped up a gust of wind, grasping Rakshasa and Sophia, who had just spread her black crow wings, and the three pshooed into the viscous Red Fog as if not even the slightest ripple was stirred.

Mu Yuan looked on, silently praying for the three in his heart.

...

"Step~"

Duo Lai and the others stepped onto the barren black land.

Surrounding them was the extremely dense Red Fog.

This Red Fog could not be scattered by the wind nor extinguished by fire, and even Spatial Devouring found it difficult to influence; it seemed to exist eternally here like the backdrop of the world, slowly drifting along a set trajectory.

It only looked like fog but was not actually fog.

"We need to hurry," Sophia said, "Although we just drank the Ice Clear Potion, this potion clearly can't completely resist the erosion of the Red Fog here, and the efficacy of the potion is also rapidly depleting. We can't use the duration of past potions as a reference."

Under normal circumstances, even if one were to delve into the Ness of Filth territory, the Ice Clear Potion would ensure that the user would not be eroded by the Red Fog for 4 to 6 hours.

Here, the Ice Clear Potion couldn't guarantee even a second, only managing to significantly reduce the impact of erosion.

The three ran forward quickly.

In this land of Red Fog, their vision was greatly limited. Even when Sophia used her Phantom Night Eyes talent, she could only see a few hundred meters ahead.

Duo Lai activated its Domain, but while the Domain could not discern the surroundings, it did provide some slowing effect on the erosion of the Red Fog.

After running for several seconds, the three encountered the Black Crows that had just been corrupted.

Black Crow after Black Crow... or rather Blood Crows emitted piercing screams, with some spreading their wings, on which hundreds of tiny eyes opened.

Sophia frowned, "They are all Third-order Monsters!"

One ought to know that previously, aside from its scouting and invisibility abilities, Created Black Crows were practically useless in a fight, unable to beat even Profession-level monsters in a head-on clash.

Yet the moment they were corrupted and eroded, they gained such a tremendous boost. Stay informed with m-vl-em,py-r

Third-order Monsters naturally could not stop the three from advancing.

Duo Lai wielded countless Thunder Glows, annihilating all monsters before them, and maintaining a pace slightly faster than Sophia and Rakshasa, he sprinted at the forefront of the trio.

After eliminating the Blood Crows, the three of them did not encounter any more obstacles.

They continued to make their way through the Red Mist.

Maybe it took dozens of seconds, or perhaps hundreds, when finally a giant shadow emerged from within the Red Mist.

"Found it!"

A few dozen steps ahead of Duo Lai, the giant shadow gradually became clear.

It still resembled a tree.

A tree without branches and leaves, as if it had withered away.

The roots of the giant tree were not embedded into the ground but were rooted on a magnificent building, enveloping the entire hall like a spider's web.

"What is this?" Duo Lai muttered.

"This... There may have once been a Miracle Building here! A very high-standard, special Miracle Building!"

Sophia acknowledged after a moment.

But at this time, the majestic hall had lost its luster, its main body was dull and mottled, like an ancient building eroded by the wind. Brownish-red roots penetrated the walls, deeply embedded in them.

This Miracle Building was completely destroyed.

Hearing Sophia say this, Duo Lai's eyes widened, "That—that means we've lost a fortune! Fang of the Jackal Wolf has destroyed our property! This is utterly preposterous, this grudge is too great!"

Sophia: "..." She didn't know what to say, feeling that her Lord would have heaved the same sigh upon seeing this scene.

She followed with a sigh and cursed the Fang of the Jackal Wolf a few times.

Rakshasa glanced at the two of them and joined in the cursing.

While they cursed, they didn't dawdle; after all, the notifications of the heavenly rules were still resounding in their ears.

They quickly stepped forward, positioning themselves in a triangle around the Heart of Corruption, extending their hands, palms touching it.

A cold, sticky sensation, as if there were foreign objects squirming, spread from their palms, with a terrifying corrupting power trying to burrow out from that spot.

The next moment, the Light of Purification burst forth.

Three orbs of pure white light blossomed from their palms, slowly spreading across the giant withered tree, stripping away and purifying the Power of Purification bit by bit from the tree.

The process was not fast.

The Power of Purification came from the rules of heaven and earth. Apart from needing to maintain uninterrupted contact with the Heart of Corruption, there were no other requirements for Duo Lai and the others.

They could chat, fight, or even play poker.

However, the purification process was indeed very slow.

The speed of purifying the Nest of Filth back in the day was several times faster than now.

Although when purifying the Nest of Filth then, Duo Lai and others had encountered the fierce assault of dozens upon hundreds of Fourth-order Bosses, there were no enemies around this time.

"Perhaps monsters don't adapt well to this thick Red Mist Land?"

Mu Yuan pondered secretly.

He still remained vigilant, and he told Duo Lai and the others to abandon purification and prioritize killing enemies or retreating should the Monster Overlord attack.

He could call Dead Bone, Lu Liu, and other Hero Units, making more thorough preparations.

He could also summon Shen Linglong or even heroes from Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge, at most delaying the purification for two to three days.

Time ticked away.

At the twentieth minute, Duo Lai, Rakshasa, and Sophia drank their second Ice Clear Potion.

Outside the Red Mist Land, Mu Yuan watched tensely, his fist slightly clenched.

Finally, at the thirty-third minute and fifty-four seconds after the trio stepped into the Red Mist Land...

Hum——

The entire Red Mist Land suddenly trembled, and the thick, sticky Red Mist visibly began to thin out. Wisps of the mist drifted away, dissipating between heaven and earth.

And at the same moment, a crisp and pleasant notification sound, a completely different one, rang out in Mu Yuan's ear.

'Ding!'

'Notification: Your heroes 'Duo Lai,' 'Rakshasa,' and 'Sophia' have purified the under-construction Heart of Corruption, earning a gift from heaven and earth.'

Indistinctly, Mu Yuan seemed to see a divine purple light descending.
