Chapter 86 Gift From the Forest Spirit

The fighter formation arrived at the Mirror Lake.

Yu Ke immediately withdrew from the battlefield, and the remaining battles had nothing to do with him.

Finding Pandora and forcing it out of the hidden water is an indelible achievement. After the war, Yu Ke will definitely get a big reward.

Sitting between the roots of a giant tree on the edge of the dense forest, Yu Ke, who finally had some free time, admired the performance of the national war machine.

Pandora is as dangerous as a ghost. There is no doubt that it is powerful. It will create distorted monsters at will, infect the forest and even erode the spirit. If it is given enough time, the Mirror Lake Forest will be turned into a life restricted zone.

It's a pity that if the existence it faces this time is willing, it will only take a moment to destroy the Mirror Lake Forest.

Not to mention that the target is just a distorted monster.

The Skyfire III bomber formation soared into the sky like a giant dragon, roaring over the Mirror Lake.

Special flash bombs illuminated the dark water, and a series of highly lethal bombs, thermobaric bombs, and armor-piercing incendiary bombs followed. Pandora just wanted to resist, but another round of fighter formations fired and more than a dozen missiles were accurately hit.

As long as the opponent is still a carbon-based creature, it is impossible to be intact in the face of this level of attack.

Broken limbs and flesh flew in the explosion. Yu Ke felt the heat wave coming towards him. While he was impressed by the strength of the cutting-edge war technology of this era, he was glad that he had joined the official camp a long time ago.

War violence is really terrible, fortunately I am the perpetrator.

There was a sudden movement in the bag. Yu Ke raised his hand to take out the Pandora core suppressed by the fluorescent green light ball, and was surprised to find that one-third of the sphere had been transformed into fluorescent green.

Before Yu Ke could figure out what was going on, a few fallen leaves passed by him, and the Shadow Moon Leopard was in front of him, staring at the irregular sphere in his hand with scarlet beast eyes, and the meaning was clear.

"Here, here. Who is instructing you to do this? Why do you plan to keep it secret from me?"

Yu Ke had no intention of keeping this weird-looking thing. He handed it to the Shadow Moon Leopard and asked after thinking about it.

Previously, he was busy fighting Pandora, and there were some things that Yu Ke didn't have time to think about. Now that he had time, it was hard for him not to guess what the will of the Shadow Moon Leopard or the fluorescent green light ball in front of him was.

In fact, Yu Ke had already had a vague answer in his mind, but he had no way to confirm it.

You know, he had just obtained the Fubo trait not long ago. Yu Ke was sure that there was no one around when he was testing the new trait.

But there was no one.

In the end, Yu Ke still didn't get an answer from the Shadow Moon Leopard. It didn't mean to communicate at all. It just opened its mouth and bit the irregular sphere, then turned around and disappeared in the dense forest, as if it had predicted the outcome of this side in advance.

Boom! ! !

Another explosion attracted Yu Ke's attention.

After enduring multiple rounds of saturation bombardment, the deformed monster parasitized by Pandora finally reached the end of its rope.

The wounded monster shook and overturned in the water, and the next step was the most important part.

The waves submerged the monster's body, and in the thick gray fog, a touch of chaotic color finally appeared. They drilled out from the wounds of the corpse and gathered in the air.

At first, it was only a small part of the flow, and soon it began to gush uncontrollably.

At this time, Pandora was no longer the experimental subject imprisoned in the experimental cabin of the small garden workstation. Not only did its volume expand nearly ten times, but its surface also scattered strange phosphorescence, giving people a strange feeling of doom.

When this color that was difficult to describe in words appeared on the water, they condensed into a torrent and began to flow toward the sky, as if to escape from the Mirror Lake Forest, which was supposed to be its foothold, in this way.

The Disaster Prevention Bureau would never let it go!

In order to eliminate Pandora, the Forestry Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and the consumption of resources was not small. They finally locked the target, and if they let it escape like this, they would not be able to explain to the country.

Almost at the same time when Pandora escaped from the distorted monster, more than a dozen flash bombs exploded in the air around it, forcibly suppressing its activity, followed by various freezing mists and missiles prepared in advance by the air force formation.

Through studying the information provided by the Small Garden Workstation, the Disaster Prevention Bureau believes that ordinary physical attacks are difficult to eliminate Pandora. It is the most feasible solution to freeze it at extremely low temperatures and then transport it back to Danhang City for detention.

In this way, not only can Pandora end the pollution of the Mirror Lake Forest, but more importantly, through this plan, the official will most likely be able to get the opportunity to study Pandora again.

Although this behavior is somewhat like inviting wolves into the house, this is the reality.

There is no way. The advent of the Cataclysm era is destined to have similar terrorist existences in the future. The official government must seize every opportunity to explore the particularity of such existence as much as possible, prepare for the next battle, and accumulate experience.

Moreover, because of Yu Ke's prior reminder, the official knew in advance the suppressive effect of strong light on Pandora, so they had enough confidence to try it. Even if they failed, they could use flash bombs to maintain the status quo.

Fortunately, the plan prepared this time was very effective.

Soon Pandora was forcibly frozen and fell into the water, and the patrol team's armed helicopter immediately began to salvage it.

At this point, the Pandora incident finally came to an end.

It was evening.

After confirming that the Mirror Lake Water Marsh had returned to calm, the fighter formation returned with a special box that encapsulated Pandora.

The Danhang City Disaster Prevention Bureau had prepared for Pandora's containment.

At the same time, the patrol team began to make the final finishing touches on the water marsh area.

Pandora being taken away does not mean that the infected mutants can immediately return to their original state, and their mutations are irreversible.

It's just that they can no longer pollute the forest environment as uninterruptedly as before without the source of infection. The patrol team hopes to eliminate as many mutants as possible, and then take their bodies back to reduce the burden on the Mirror Lake Forest.

Of course, the effect of doing so is ultimately limited.

Therefore, Ansai Li quickly found Yu Ke and asked him about the self-repair of the Mirror Lake Forest that he had discovered before.

The two met in the dense forest area. After greeting each other, Ansai Li also went straight to the point.

"According to the information you provided, we checked the bottom of the Mirror Lake Swamp, and the situation is indeed not optimistic. In a short period of time, we have no way to eliminate the adverse effects left by Pandora. We can only try our best to eliminate the deformed beasts. However, if the self-repair of the Mirror Lake Forest you mentioned before can be realized, perhaps the environment can be restored in a short time."

"How do I know how to achieve it, but you don't have to worry too much. Life will find a way out on its own."

Yu Ke nibbled on the biscuits he had just taken out of his backpack, handed one to Ansai Li, and then talked about what he had just encountered, emphasizing the group of fluorescent green light.

"The Mirror Lake Forest is far more powerful than we imagined. The ecosystem it built in the era of the Great Cataclysm is enough to withstand this disaster. As long as it is given time, everything will return to its original state, just like the cold wave not long ago, the forest will soon recover its vitality."

The experience of the past two days made Yu Ke more and more certain that there is a kind of natural will in the Mirror Lake Forest.

"I hope so."

An Saili can only hope that what Yu Ke said is true.

After all, the Forestry Bureau has no good way to eliminate the infection.

"By the way, have you caught the people from the Nightmare Organization? I see that Hu Yingjie and the others haven't come back yet. The deformed heart has accumulated some of Pandora's energy. If they succeed, it will probably cause a lot of trouble later."

Looking around, Yu Ke couldn't help asking when he didn't see Hu Yingjie and the others.

"There is no news from there yet. The fifth group of the patrol team is still chasing the people from the Nightmare Organization. I will tell you when there is a result."

Everyone's attention was on Pandora before, so naturally they couldn't put too much effort into the hunt for the Nightmare Organization.

Yu Ke knew in his heart that it was highly likely that he would not be able to catch those guys who were hiding their heads and showing their tails. He shrugged without comment. Anyway, this matter had little to do with him as a forest ranger hunter. It was just a casual question.

After the matter was settled, Yu Ke prepared to pack up and return to the forest ranger camp.

The two days of fighting had exhausted him physically and mentally, so he would definitely need to rest for a while before returning.

An Saili originally wanted to give Yu Ke a ride and send him to the outskirts of the forest by helicopter, but was rejected by the latter.

It wasn't that Yu Ke was willing to stay in the Mirror Lake Forest for longer, but the frightened deer was still waiting for him in the temporary base, and he couldn't just ignore it.

He borrowed an airboat from the hunting group and set off on the return journey.

The sky gradually darkened, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be dissipating.

Yu Ke controlled the airboat, turned on the searchlight installed at the front, and drove through the forest and swamps.

Taking advantage of the current free time, Yu Ke began to sort out his gains from this operation.

Needless to say, equipment updates and the like, the most important gain is obviously the growth of professional experience.

Although he was not the one who killed the mutant parasitized by Pandora, the series of battles, coupled with his actions of entering the water alone to destroy the infected network and forcing Pandora to show up, still caused the experience of the two professions [Forest Ranger] and [Investigator] to soar.

The former's promotion progress reached 85%, surpassing the [Teacher] profession, which was only 30% away from completing the promotion at this stage, and the [Investigator] who had just completed the promotion also gained nearly 30% of experience again.

Of course, this is only temporary.

This time, Yu Ke plans to edit and publish the video of his battle with the Monkey King of Qishui as soon as possible. By then, it should be possible for the [Teacher] profession to achieve a new breakthrough and obtain higher-level traits.

As for the video related to Pandora, it must not be released without official permission, and can only be studied by himself.

In addition, the Fubo trait is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise of this trip.

Frankly speaking, without the assistance of the Shadow Moon Leopard, Yu Ke would never be able to hunt the Monkey King of Qishui, and this deep blue trait will undoubtedly allow him to exert a stronger combat power in a water environment in the future.

Finally, there are rewards from the Forestry Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau, which should not be small.

Just when Yu Ke was happy about the generous rewards of this trip, the gentle breeze interrupted his thoughts.

The spiritual awakening trait allowed Yu Ke to sense some wonderful changes happening in the surrounding environment.

Surprised, he stood up from the airship and looked around.

A large number of fluorescent green light spots began to emerge from the giant trees and forests in his field of vision. They were like a group of fireflies in the forest, gathering from all directions and floating around Yu Ke.

Yu Ke, who has the trait of the heart of the wilderness, can sense the exciting natural energy in it.

"It seems that my guess is right. You are the natural spirit of Jinghu Forest!"

There was no one else nearby, so Yu Ke didn't need to hide and said loudly.

In his opinion, only the natural will of Jinghu Forest could do those magical things before.

But Pandora had been detained and sent back to Danhang City. What were these light spots gathering here for now?

Before Yu Ke could react.

The fluorescent green light spot turned into a stream of light and flowed towards his right arm. He hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to check, and saw that the stream of light containing rich natural energy was completely integrated into his skin, and finally turned into a diamond-shaped mark.

The trait of checking for omissions and filling in gaps quickly gave relevant information.

Gift of the Forest Spirit: The Forest Spirit's soul-infused mark, which contains mysterious energy and has not yet been activated.
