Since Xiao Qing said so, Baiyu didn't persist further.

Indeed.

He was a bit worried that Xiao Qing might have too much on his mind, affecting his own actions. However, it seems that Xiao Qing had clearly done this kind of mission before and was not a novice, which brought some comfort to Baiyu.

After a simple exchange, the Legendary Ship Erza slowly started up, stirring up a huge wave on the sea surface.

Bang.

In an instant.

The Legendary Ship shot out like a cannonball, disappearing above the Silence Bookstore.

...

Black Forest Island.

This island is larger than the Silence Bookstore, but most of it is undeveloped areas, with a population of about a hundred thousand residents.

The island is fairly good.

There is an Eclipse Moon Realm guarding it, and nothing major has occurred over the years.

However.

Once Baiyu piloted Erza over Black Forest Island, an intense scent of blood was in the air.

Xiao Qing frowned: "Something's wrong below. We're a hundred meters up in the sky and we can already smell it..."

Obviously.

Without a massive amount of blood, such a strong scent wouldn't have been possible.

Baiyu nodded, controlled Erza, and slowly descended to the port of Black Forest Island, where numerous ships were docked, all stained with blood, remnants of bodies scattered across the decks.

Silent, Bloody.

This is the first impression the island gives.

Baiyu and Xiao Qing disembarked from the Legendary Ship, and after landing on the island, they realized the entire island has turned into a dead zone.

The massacre at the port was just a minor part.

On the whole of Black Forest Island, there were no survivors.

Bodies lay scattered all over, emitting a putrid stench, green pus oozing underneath, with flies buzzing around.

Xiao Qing turned green looking at the scene of bodies strewn everywhere.

"Let's go, let's see if there are any survivors."

Baiyu did not abandon the investigation due to the horror scene, but went deeper. The island once had about a hundred thousand people, now all slaughtered. Any normal person would be outraged at the culprit of all this.

The two walked from the port to the city on Black Forest Island.

If the port's condition was like purgatory, then the city's situation was like a real hell.

Blood had already dyed the ground red.

Countless corpses lay in the streets, barely any of them intact.

In addition.

Almost all of the city's buildings were burned down as if they had endured a massive war.

As the two walked on the street, they were shocked by what they saw.

"Where is the Spirit Realm entrance on Black Forest Island? This situation can only mean there's something wrong with the Spirit Realm entrance, and something from the Spirit Realm has come out."

Baiyu was holding back a fury in his heart.

Xiao Qing quickly responded: "Follow me."

She had been to Black Forest Island before, so she knew where the entrance was.

But.

Just when they were about to move, a voice suddenly echoed from the side.

Thud.

It sounded like a plank falling onto the floor.

Baiyu and Xiao Qing's eyes instantly focused on a nearby building.

Baiyu stepped forward, entered the room, and reached out to take a chunk out of the wall, revealing a brain staring back at him.

Yes.

A bright red brain, still dripping blood, making its way with what seemed like tubes resembling blood vessels.

It shrank into a corner, and as Baiyu entered, the brain spoke: "Don't come closer, don't kill me, I beg you, don't kill me."

Its voice was full of extreme fear.

It seemed completely unaware that its own appearance was far more terrifying than Baiyu's.

"What are you?"

Baiyu stared at the talking brain, with a wary look, and Xiao Qing quickly arrived, equally astonished upon seeing it.

"You, you monsters, you still want to kill me. I'll fight you, I'm going to kill you, you promised to let me go if I cooperated in the experiment!"

The brain roared and then recklessly charged at them like a rabid dog.

Baiyu frowned, and a layer of light surrounded him, the brain crashed into it and was instantly shredded into a bloody mist by the raging Power of Destruction.

"Bizarre..."

Xiao Qing looked at the situation with the brain and found it incredibly absurd.

She grew up in the Silence Bookstore and had obviously never witnessed such eerie scenes before.

Baiyu had a stronger mental endurance.

"This city might have mutated, infected by an eerie power. We must be cautious."

While regrettably they didn't learn anything from the brain, Baiyu did not stop.

They continued on.

The cityscape grew increasingly bizarre.

There were not only talking, moving brains but also centipede-like creatures made of a dozen legs scurrying across the ground, yelling, "Doctor, doctor, didn't you say you would save me, doctor!!"

Besides these.

There were zombies with multiple heads and creatures whose heads seemed like pus sacs that kept contracting.

These were all humans transformed into monsters.

To put it accurately.

These people hadn't died but were transformed by some strange force or experimented on by malevolent beings, turning into their present forms.

These creatures, if not provoked first.

They wouldn't attack actively.

Mostly, they roamed aimlessly on the streets, calling out for the doctor.

Indeed.

In such an environment.

All these people seemed to have encountered a "doctor," and clearly, this "doctor" was not a good person, perhaps even the creator of these monsters.

In this eerie atmosphere.

Baiyu and Xiao Qing finally reached the Spirit Realm entrance.

The entrance was at the center of Black Forest Island, heavily guarded by a military base, but it had suffered a brutal massacre, where all the guarding soldiers were savagely killed.

They stood before the entrance.

The Teleportation Light Gate was sealed with a layer of fiery Power of Destruction, and next to it lay the corpse of an older man.

Obviously.

This was the Eclipse Moon Realm Cultivator guarding Black Forest Island.

Baiyu didn't hasten to break the seal, but instead, found a transparent Crystal Stone in the Eclipse Moon Realm Cultivator's pocket.

After channeling the Power of Destruction.

The Crystal Stone emitted a hazy glow, forming a pattern.

On it.

Was the elderly Eclipse Moon Realm person who died before the gate.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his breath was extremely unstable: "The Spirit Realm entrance of Black Forest Island was breached ten minutes ago; I held this entrance and repelled the demons, but the source of pollution dropped by the demons has already erupted, Black Forest Island is finished.

No matter who you are.

If you are of the Human Race, take this stone at once to the Silence Bookstore and have the bookstore seal off this place.

Also.

Beware of the doctor... beware of the doctor!!"
