Monsters Die When Killed-Chapter 64 - 39: A Class Academy (2)

The fossilized remains of a Thunder Marsh Jellyfish form a natural, giant Thunder Rune. According to Rune Study research, its fossilized Rune is believed to be the origin of all extant Thunder Techniques in human civilization. The largest known fossil is located in the Zhengguo Thunder Marsh.

The Thunder Marsh Jellyfish is an extremely docile, super-giant Spiritual Qi creature from Ancient Times. It typically lives in the Shallow Sea, feeding on sunlight and various types of Spiritual Qi algae and plankton. It is not sapient and cannot communicate. Its use of Spiritual Qi is extremely simple, but its physical size and strength are terrifying. It shows significant potential for bio-electric power generation. Classification: A-Class Low-Level Demon Fiend. Recommended Action: Farm in enclosed sea areas.

Projected force required to suppress a single specimen: 20 to an unlimited number of Black Emperor Guards. The largest individuals require a Holy Seat to coordinate with the East Sea Fleet for capture.

In Hongzhou Hongcheng, hundreds of residents were attacked by a Demon Fiend’s toxic gas and were evacuated under the pretext of a gas leak. When Professor Zhang Fucheng of Zhengyi Academy and four White Emperor Guards arrived to suppress it, they discovered the mysterious Demon Fiend was already dead.

"This new species of Demon Fiend, codenamed Wood Centipede, is essentially a peculiar type of Spirit Plant. Although it looks like an insect, it’s actually a ’carnivorous plant’ that grows and moves on its own."

Professor Li, who participated in the Demon Fiend’s autopsy, spoke freely during an interview: "The person who killed it first weakened the activity of its nerve ganglia, then destroyed the ’Wooden Long Tendons’ that the Spirit Plant uses to control its body. They shattered its top carapace with a single blow, and finally, they cut open its Energy Storage Organ and removed the Energy Core."

"The Wood Centipede’s Life Force is actually very strong. If only one or two, or even two or three of these actions had been taken, it wouldn’t have been enough to kill it. But this sequence of actions killed it outright. To be honest, I’m more concerned about who could be so vicious. It wasn’t enough to just kill the Wood Centipede; they even tore off its limbs, mandibles, and tail stinger and took them. That’s not the kind of strength an ordinary creature possesses."

Based on the description, the new Demon Fiend species ’Wood Centipede’ is a new, special type of Demon Fiend that has appeared due to the Spiritual Energy Revival. Its companion Spirit Plant, ’Water-Purifying Moss’ (the official name for Black Moss), has the ability to purify sewage and transform filthy, dark qi into pure Spiritual Power. The Water-Purifying Moss itself can be grafted onto most low-level Spirit Plants to nourish their growth. In return, when this Spirit Plant spreads its own pollen, it also triggers the release of the Water-Purifying Moss’s pollen (a potent hypnotic dust).

Autopsy results indicate the Wood Centipede is a special, arthropod-mimicking, omnivorous Spirit Plant that thrives in dark, filthy environments. It is not sapient, but due to its plant-like characteristics, it has some potential for utility. Before the Era of Spiritual Qi Revival, the Wood Centipede had no Extraordinary abilities beyond its powerful body, but its immense Life Force still made it a formidable opponent. Classification: B-Class Intermediate Demon. Recommended Action: Capture for research.

Projected force required to suppress a single specimen: 4 to 6 White Emperor Guards, and one Awakening Tier Transcendent.

Of note: The unidentified Transcendent codenamed ’11’ possessed the strength of the Awakening Tier even before the Spiritual Energy Revival, marking them as a Holy Dao Seed. Their importance surpasses even that of the Thunder Marsh Jellyfish. This individual’s file has been entered into the ’Security Bureau Confidential Archives.’ All personnel are advised to study and familiarize themselves with it.

The fourth case.

「10:25 PM, August 4, 2014」

In Sichuan State, an incident occurred where a wild Iron-eating Beast begged local residents for food...

"Could we pause for a moment, Artifice Sage? Forgive me for being blunt."

As the large screen was about to play an interview with the people involved, a white-haired senior official in the front row blinked. He raised his hand, requesting a temporary halt to the case presentation. After the screen went dark in tacit agreement, he stood up and asked, a hint of confusion in his voice, "Over the past forty years, haven’t we already rounded up and raised all extant Iron-eating Beasts in captivity? Where did this wild one come from?"

The head of the local Academy was unaware of this matter. It’s possible one was missed during an outdoor release for exercise. This Iron-eating Beast is friendly, possesses a degree of sapience, and is capable of communication. It has now been led back to the local Academy in Sichuan State for re-domestication.

Wild Iron-eating Beasts are ferocious, modern-era Spiritual Qi predators that typically feed on Spiritual Bamboo and bamboo rats. They possess a degree of sapience, are capable of communication, and have a chance to evolve into the ’Demon Race.’ Classification: C-class Intermediate Demon.

Projected force required to suppress a single specimen: 1 to 2 White Emperor Guards. Alternatively, it can be lured and captured by specialists or suppressed by the local armed Patrol.

After these four cases, many more were presented, mostly covering the 18 total incidents of Spiritual Energy Revival that had occurred in the last three months.

After all of them had been shown, text reappeared on the screen, and the being respectfully addressed as the ’Artifice Sage’ by the Security Bureau official spoke calmly.

As you all know, the ’Spiritual Energy Revival’ is intensifying. The path between Heaven and Earth will soon reopen. Even prehistoric Giant Beasts from the Cambrian Era of Ancient Times have reawakened. According to the ’Math Saint’s’ calculations, the arrival of the New Era is imminent—within the next month.

To maintain stability, we have concealed the truth for a long time. But soon, the changes caused by the Spiritual Energy Revival will permeate every corner of society... It is time to reveal a corner of our society and civilization’s true reality and announce the dawn of a New Era.

Everyone present here is a decorated veteran of the covert front. Your spouses, your children, your friends and family may not know what your true work entails. But soon, you will be able to reveal your identities openly and honorably.
