Squadron captains held an emergency meeting with headquarters in Xiamen to see what the next steps would be after the disastrous failure of one of the squadrons, which resulted in the deaths of all of them.
After much debate, threats, and other things, the conversation only led to a resolution, invade that part of the island to deal with the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent.
To everyone's surprise, when the soldiers showed their intention to leave the place to head towards that small island, the sea creatures opened the way and did not attack the soldiers and Hunters. It was as if the creatures knew what they were doing and wanted them to do it.
Some creatures in Penghu had the intelligence to do that, but it also rivaled the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent on that island.
Only Liu Yang understood the situation.
The quests request him to defeat the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent, the Profound Black Shark, and the Great Lizard Emperor.
The shark was a being that lived in the water, so it was different from the other two creatures, which lived on land.
The name Great Lizard Emperor was something that showed power and authority, so it should be the king of all creatures in Penghu, but the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent should be a creature with equal power that defies the king. So there was rivalry between the two.
Liu Yang's thoughts were not wrong.
The shark was a creature with low intelligence, but it was still much better than not having it like most others. Thus, it felt that it was above others.
Its power was enough to do that, intelligence only heightened its superiority.
The Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent was the same. It felt the same way.
So it was normal for the two sides to clash.
Despite being weaker, the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent had a big advantage because of the powerful hallucinogenic poison.
Any creature that breathed this would be affected instantly.
So the Great Lizard Emperor didn't dare to go to that island because the result was death.
Thus, it endured living with the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent during the last few days that it suddenly appeared on the island
"We are already a thousand meters away from the island, but be very careful because there is a very potent poison that can cause very realistic hallucinations. The squad that was killed on the island didn't know about the poison until they found the three-headed serpent staring at them. Not even detection magic equipment could detect the poison, so wear masks and protective clothing to avoid contact with the poison." One of the commanders spoke in a solemn tone.
The poison was the biggest challenge, much bigger than the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent. If the poison could be avoided, the fight would be smoother.
"ROGER!!!" All soldiers wore diver-like clothing to cover every part of their bodies, but it also didn't limit their movements during fights.
A breathing mask was placed over their faces to avoid breathing in the poison, and a pair of gloves and boots were also put on. Everything was to avoid the poison.
"Let's get closer to the island and get some of this poison for analysis"
The poison was undetectable by drones and other equipment, but it was still possible to be picked up and stored inside a tube.
A small vacuum cleaner was used to do the work.
The appearance was like a handheld vacuum cleaner, but there was a filter at the bottom to separate dust from the air and leave only pure air in the tube.
As the air was sucked in, something started to appear inside the tube.
Blue color is very clear and subtle.
This was Blue Poison, but it was very diluted in the air.
The more air was absorbed, the stronger the blue color until it completely covered the tube.
"So this is the poison... This can be a valuable weapon against other creatures" One commented as he looked at the blue cloud inside the tube.
Portable analysis equipment started to do the work, but only twenty percent of the poison was discovered, the other eighty percent was still something unknown, never seen before.
"This poison is more dangerous than we thought. The snake that releases this is a very powerful creature" Another commented fearfully.
If they entered the island, the result would be the same as the other squad.
"Send the data to the lab. They must know what to do. Let's wait a day"
…
"The results have arrived, but they are not promising…"
All the commanders were in the same boat to facilitate the conversation, they read the final report on the poison, but the data was disheartening.
Blue Poison was a newly discovered type of poison that was not in the world's database. So it was something unknown and very dangerous to deal with.
"Do any of you have a plan?"
