Chapter 409 Lone Wolf

Dragging his exhausted body, the white fox opened the open door and said at the same time: "I'm back."

The white fox, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, looked at the tidy living room and thought for a while, then muttered, "Why is there no one?"

As soon as Baihu finished speaking, a white note on the table in the middle of the living room caught Baihu's attention.

Subconsciously, the white fox went to the table and picked up the note and said to himself, "Did you go out to eat?"

As soon as Baihu finished speaking, the content on the note caused Baihu to fall into silence for a long time and then muttered: "Going to find your own way? (OS: Why does it feel weird, I always feel that something is wrong.)"

When Baihu was distracted, HK's voice came from behind: "Mr. Baihu, do you have time? I want to tell you about the twelve star souls."

The white fox who subconsciously turned back was just about to speak, when HK looked at the blood-stained white fox and asked, "Have you not treated the wound yet?"

Baihu looked at the blood clot on his body and said: "The wound has healed, I just haven't had time to clean it (OS: That Virgo who can't see attributes is really a big trouble (へ╬))"

When the white fox was distracted, HK subconsciously coughed and looked at the white fox and said, "I'll take you to the treatment room. It's best to treat these wounds."

Without waiting for Baihu's answer, HK stretched out his hand to grab Baihu's hand and walked out. After a moment of silence, he said, "Have you heard of Tianqi Company?"

The white fox subconsciously shook his head and responded: "Tianqi Company, I haven't heard of it, what's the matter?"

HK responded after a moment of silence: "The werewolf is one of the products of this company's troubles."

After a moment of daze, Baihu asked: "Could it be that the Twelve Star Soul is also a product of this company?"

HK who left the house subconsciously nodded and responded: "Although the Twelve Star Souls are also products of this company, they don't seem to obey this company."

Looking at the passers-by who were dodging away from a distance, Baihu asked after a moment of silence: "Is the Twelve Star Soul incident you want to talk about already threatening the existence of DMG?"

HK, who suddenly let go and stopped, turned to look at the white fox and replied, "They won't threaten us for the time being, what I want to talk to you about is about the twelve trials."

Looking at HK who continued to move forward after speaking, the white fox who followed HK unhurriedly asked after a moment of silence: "Since you know about werewolves, why don't you just tell me?"

HK, who walked forward in silence, stopped at the door of the DMG headquarters for a while and said, "If I tell you that my predecessor didn't tell me the password to unlock the data, would you believe me?"

Staring at HK's back, the white fox was silent for a moment, then walked towards the company's gate and said, "Quickly fix the problem, I'm too lazy to know your little secret..."

In the medical department half an hour later, the white fox, who had treated and cleaned the wound, stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror that was one person tall and asked, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

After a long silence, HK replied: "I need you to go to the abandoned laboratory of Tianqi Company alone, get back some materials, and help us complete the twelve trials."

As soon as HK’s voice fell, the system prompt sounded immediately: Obtained the task (Secret Quest) (Twelve Trials) (Self)

Before the white fox could open the quest view, the system prompt sounded again: Complete the first phase of the Werewolf Infestation quest and start the second phase

Looking at the four missions that popped up, the white fox was silent for a moment and then sighed: "Tell me the location, and I will rush there immediately."

Just as Baihu finished watching the mission display, HK on the side looked at Baihu helplessly and asked, "Can you stop being distracted? I've told you several times, but you didn't respond at all."

After reacting, the white fox subconsciously scratched his head and said, "Sorry, please repeat it again."

HK sighed and said: "The mission location is in the Dark Swamp, this is a special isolation zone artificially created by Country D to destroy certain things."

After a moment of daze, the white fox asked, "Why don't you just destroy them? Is it because you can't do it?"

HK shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this either, maybe it's because Tianqi Company secretly obstructed it?"

Before Baihu could speak, HK took out a map and handed it to Baihu, and said, "You have to be careful not only of werewolves, but also of mimic monsters that can change their appearance."

Hearing HK's words, Baihu, who opened the map subconsciously, asked, "Is there any equipment to support me, even if it's just a blueprint for me to do it myself."

HK replied after a moment of daze: "I can give you the most advanced abyss explorer, or send a team to help you reach the edge of the swamp, but after entering the swamp, you can only rely on yourself!"

As soon as HK spoke, the white fox looked at the DMG guard standing behind HK holding the abyss explorer and asked, "Is this the abyss explorer?"

Without waiting for HK to answer, Baihu looked at the attributes of the abyss explorer and asked, "Since you have this level of equipment, why don't you send people to investigate?"

Abyss Explorer (Defense: 95) (Special Armor) (Immunity to Toxin, Frost, Fire) (Included Skill: Energy Metal (can consume electricity to restore Mech Durability)) (Durability: 900000/900000) (Building Requirements: 1000)

As soon as Baihu finished speaking, the DMG guard holding the abyss explorer smiled helplessly and said: "This thing consumes too much power, and the conditions for using it are very strict."

Bai Hu, who was looking down at the attributes, noticed the need for equipment and subconsciously asked, "Why do you think I can use it?"

深渊探索者装备需求（力量：120）（敏捷：50）（智力：50）（体质：50）（电力：10）

As soon as Baihu said the words, HK sighed and replied: "Players are different from us, you don't need to worry about supplies, because you can 'cheat'."

The white fox, who was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to touch the abyss explorer and then asked after thinking: "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Subconsciously shaking his head, HK looked at what the white fox was about to say, when a DMG guard rushed to HK's side and whispered a few words.

HK, whose face became extremely gloomy in an instant, took a long breath and said, "You must leave immediately, the location is in the area south of the DMG."

After the white fox who walked to the window opened the window and jumped out, the gloomy HK ordered in a cold tone: "Let the special team assist him, clean up the wanderers on the edge of the swamp, and pave the way for him to complete smoothly."

After a DMG guard heard the order to leave quickly, HK looked at the other DMG guards and said, "Take the abyss explorer back to the warehouse, and then go with me to deal with those bastards over there..."

On the other side, Baihu, who had already left DMG, glanced at the number of MP needed for power conversion and said: "The power construction is surprisingly cheap (-_-||)"

Item: Electricity (consumable) (construction cost: 0.1MP)

As soon as Baihu finished speaking, a gunshot sounded...
