People in Africa and other regions have been abandoned by other countries, but there are some who cannot be abandoned. This "person" is Jiangnan, who has taken over the body of "Chen'ai" and Jiang Liu.
Through the remnants of the Jiang family left in China and the spies they developed, Jiang Nan learned about Lin Yao's trip to Bermuda. He also deduced from the subsequent events and information that Lin Yao had encountered difficulties and, even if he hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
Therefore, Jiangnan no longer had any scruples. He stepped out of his hidden hideout and into the limelight, aggressively developing and absorbing the life force of the "poisonous people" to bring Central Africa under his control.
As the number of "poisonous people" inoculated with the strain increased, and as he absorbed more and more life force, Jiang Nan felt himself growing stronger. He not only fully recovered his strength from his prime but also slightly increased it, although this increase was based on the life force of an even larger number of "poisonous people."
Just as Xiaocao used the "Sacrifice Pill" to restore her original essence, after Jiangnan restored the original essence of "Morning Mist," the number of "poisonous people" needed to continue to grow her original essence suddenly increased to an outrageous degree.
Xiaocao was very good at self-control. Considering Lin Yao's feelings, she gave up the idea of continuing to use the "Sacrifice Pill" to improve her strength. Instead, she considered capturing and fusing with "Wuyi". She finally succeeded, but this put herself and Lin Yao in a difficult situation.
Jiang Nan, on the other hand, had no concerns. He was originally from hundreds of years ago and had no sense of belonging to the people of this era. Apart from showing some care for the descendants of the Jiang family, he would not be sad even if all of humanity in the world were to become extinct.
In particular, now that he is "Morning Mist," he has gradually placed his identity above the thoughts of all mankind, making him happy to exterminate humanity and then rule the entire planet, planting mushrooms everywhere on it, because those are his descendants.
Originally developing well, the "Poison People" are now starving to death in large numbers, and even the plant and animal resources that the "Poison People" depend on for survival are gradually becoming extinct. This is unacceptable to Jiangnan, so he decided to expand outwards.
Millions of powerful "poisonous people" swept across southern and northern Africa, quickly conquering the entire continent and converting everyone into "poisonous people." They then sought to expand outwards.
Fortunately, the dangers of "poisonous people" have been recognized and taken seriously by all countries. Now, as soon as the Jiangnan region hidden in Central Africa takes effect, the whole world is in turmoil.
If the vast African continent cannot stop the invasion of the "poisonous people," then we must take drastic measures. The world should concentrate its military forces to control the borders of Spain, northeastern Egypt, and Yemen, preventing all personnel from crossing this boundary. The United States even used nuclear weapons to blast an artificial canal in the Cairo area, using the waters of the Mediterranean and Red Seas to block the "poisonous people."
China also participated in this military operation to eliminate the "poisonous people." Because of Lin Yao's warning, and because the entire country is now under Lin Yao's seamless protection, China has dispatched 80% of its troops to the African battlefield to ensure the complete elimination of the invading "poisonous people" and give Lin Yao ample time to escape from Bermuda.
The African war lasted for one year and three months. These fearless "poisonous people," lacking food, resorted to cannibalism to ensure their parasitic bodies received sufficient nutrition. As the number of "poisonous people" dwindled, coupled with the astronomical number of "poisonous people" consumed by Jiangnan to enhance his strength, the African continent became a dead zone. Not only were edible insects and animals gone, but even non-poisonous tree bark was consumed. This once lush and verdant region now presented a desolate and bleak scene, resembling a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie.
Africa was under a no-fly zone, and the humans who were transformed into "poisonous people" lost much of their knowledge and skills. The lack of pilots and flight equipment prevented Jiangnan's army of "poisonous people" from spreading. In the end, after absorbing the life force of all the "poisonous people" on the African continent, he left alone, entering Iraq from Jordan and then Iran, hiding in human society.
A new plague began to spread worldwide, starting in mainland China once again. The outbreaks were numerous and varied, leaving Lin Yao, far away in the Bermuda Triangle, struggling to cope.
"Dancing Robe" is an ancestor of algae. After millions of years of cultivation and evolution, its body has extremely strong vitality. Therefore, after Lin Yao refined it into a pill, it also has extraordinary effects.
As soon as the new epidemic appeared, it was collected and analyzed by Xiaocao's clone. She then quickly notified Minhong to produce targeted drugs. If there was enough medicinal energy for Xiaocao's clone to absorb, she could even inject the drugs directly into the bodies of every citizen without having to distribute them through Minhong's branches in various places.
So, a nuclear warhead carried by an intercontinental ballistic missile was detonated again in the Bermuda Triangle. Of course, there was prior notice, and the people of the relevant countries were well prepared, allowing the people living in the already drastically depopulated area to be quickly transferred to safe zones.
The new type of pills refined by Lin Yao were carried out of the sea by Xiao Cao's clone and delivered to Yi Zuojun, who was there to meet them. Yi Zuojun then took the pills back to China.
These elixirs were absorbed and stored by the grass's clones, which then rapidly spread throughout the grass's clones across the country.
The new targeted anti-epidemic drugs produced by Minhong Pharmaceutical Factory were also absorbed by the Little Grass clones. The effective medicinal energy was transmitted by a network of Little Grass clones that spanned the whole country, and then, in conjunction with the Dan Qi, began to treat and save lives.
When it came to healing and saving lives, Little Grass became stubborn. She absolutely refused to treat people indiscriminately, because the information transmitted back by her 100,000 clones showed that humans were incredibly despicable and hateful when they treated their own kind, and she was unwilling to help those people.
Lin Yao had no choice but to let her have her way. So the "special medicine" that Minhong headquarters shipped out was actually just plain water with some harmless plant juice added. In reality, it was the little grass's clone that was being treated.
Minhong's hospitals and pharmacies across the country provide all members with a cup of "medicinal liquid" mixed with mineral water. After identity verification, Xiaocao injects each member with an appropriate dose of special medicine in the clinic lobby.
During this process, many hidden members who did not meet the membership requirements were discovered by Xiaocao's clones in various places. These clones inherited Xiaocao's bad habits in their spare time, and liked to spy on others. Therefore, they had access to many people's secrets. In particular, Xiaocao, under Lin Yao's reminder, specifically sought out rooms with good housing conditions and high-end decorations to spy on. As a result, she got to know many high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons, and also knew how many of these people were barely qualified good people and how many were scumbags in human clothing.
The viruses and bacteria used by Jiangnan to vent his anger were even more potent, with increased survivability, infectivity, and lethality. If it weren't for the efforts of Xiaocao's clone, countless compatriots would have died unjustly before the first batch of antidotes was available.
The plague broke out, and Xiaocao stepped in. But her intervention was selective and conditional; even the Chairman's personal lobbying wouldn't change her mind.
Thus, on the fifth day after the outbreak of the plague, 73 million people died nationwide. The mortality rate among government workers reached an alarming XY. The mortality rate among celebrities in the business, entertainment and other industries who frequently appeared on television was also not low, generally exceeding 50%.
The truth will eventually come out; these statistical results were obtained by someone with ulterior motives and published online, prompting people across the country to exclaim:
"So there are so many wolves in sheep's clothing!"
"A horse won't get fat without night grass! Therefore, the character of many famous people in Chinese society is questionable!"
Finally, Jiang Nan personally entered Chinese territory. He wanted to find out what was going on, and as soon as he entered the Chinese border, he discovered Xiao Cao's clone, who in turn discovered Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan immediately fled, and Xiao Cao also immediately issued an alarm to all the Heavenly Realm experts across the country, urging them to concentrate their forces and be ready to kill Jiang Nan at any time. Even if the Heavenly Realm experts could not kill "Chen Ai", they must severely injure him!
The second nuclear bomb prompted Xiaocao to send out three thousand "Sacrifice Pills," resulting in the Yi family gaining a full one thousand Heavenly-level experts, the Sun family gaining fifty Heavenly-level experts, the Pei family five, the Hong family one, and the military one.
This ratio was allocated after Lin Yao and Xiao Cao discussed it together, which fully demonstrated their human nature of taking care of their own people.
If the Pei, Sun, and Hong families were given more opportunities, the total number of people advancing to the Heavenly level might be far more than this. However, Lin Yao and Xiao Cao decided to arrange it in this way, so naturally Yi Zuojun and Yi Potian would not have any objections. No one would complain that their own family has too many experts.
He was a top-tier expert who had been force-fed with precious "Sacrifice Pills," but his cultivation level was not very stable. Therefore, the Grand Elder sent him abroad to train, and the training location was in Africa.
They went deep into the African interior in groups of 100 to kill the "poisonous people," while also shouldering the more important task of finding and targeting "Morning Mist."
One hundred Heavenly-level experts advancing and retreating together—there's hardly any individual on this planet who could handle that.
"Morning Mist" eventually escaped to the United States, threatening all of humanity with the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park, demanding that all the world's nuclear weapons be concentrated in Yellowstone so that he could destroy them all.
Having witnessed the clone of the grass, Jiang Liu, through his memories of "Morning Mist," realized that he would have little chance to hide again, which is why he made the desperate request for a duel.
Having the ability to create clones means that the grass has already captured and devoured the "dance outfit";
The fact that the clone can survive and function on land means that the grass has also become "Timu";
Even without Jiang Liu observing, he could tell that the abnormal growth of Chinese crops was precisely due to "Ming Jin's" innate ability to manipulate plants.
Thus, of the five independent ancient beings, three have already been devoured by the little grass, and since the little grass itself was one of them, four out of the five are gone, leaving only him, "Morning Mist." It's only a matter of time before the little grass finds and devours him, so it's better to eliminate the little grass's chance to escape directly. That way, even if there are thousands of Heavenly-level experts on Earth, he can patiently wait for them to die one by one before emerging to cause trouble.
Now there is nowhere to hide. As long as Xiaocao spreads her clones to every corner of the world, Jiangnan will only have one way out: death. He is well aware of this, which is why he is threatening all mankind.
Two million years ago, a supervolcano erupted in the area now known as Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The eruption was so powerful that it created a crater 50 miles in diameter and spewed volcanic ash that covered an area spanning 16 states.
The Yellowstone supervolcano has been active.
Beneath the Earth's crust where Yellowstone National Park is located lies a massive volcanic lava chamber, approximately 8 kilometers deep, with a lava field stretching about 50 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide—equivalent to 500 times the size of London.
