Bis held the so-called Life Essence Pill, which made the few beastmen envious. They all knew very well that it was an excellent item.
This pill condensed a large amount of life essence, which was the most fundamental substance of life, or in other words, vitality.
Ordinary people who consumed this pill could prolong their lives and even become younger. If they were severely injured or seriously ill, taking this pill could also rapidly heal wounds and boost immunity.
For example, a ninety-year-old man on his last legs, about to meet his maker, could live at least three more years by consuming a Life Essence Pill.
For ability users, this Life Essence Pill was an even more extraordinary treasure. After consumption, it could rapidly increase the total amount of their abilities.
Some ability users' abilities would also mutate after taking the pill, becoming more powerful, especially those who were at a bottleneck. Taking the pill would likely help them break through.
Even for bloodline ability users like Alexander, this pill was very useful. Consuming the Life Essence Pill could refine their bloodlines and further enhance their strength.
However, obtaining such a pill was not easy. Members of the Dark Altar received one Life Essence Pill when they joined the organization. After that, they could only be rewarded with another one if they made significant contributions to the organization.
This was also a major reason why the members of the Dark Altar were loyal to Bis, because only Bis could manufacture such a pill.
In fact, this Life Essence Pill was an extension of Bis's ability. This woman discovered that she could absorb the life force of others to enhance herself and cultivate. At the same time, Bis also developed a method to condense the mental energy absorbed from others into these Life Essence Pills.
However, these pills were not easy to obtain. The main obstacle was the raw material, which meant human lives.
The younger and healthier a person was, the more life essence they contained. For every pill produced, Bis had to drain about fifty people.
As for the source of these raw materials, there was no need to worry. Toads with three legs were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged living people in this world.
There was a type of person in this world called refugees. Whether in the Americas or Africa, tens of thousands of people tried to immigrate to the United States or Europe every year by illegal means.
These people handed over all their wealth to human traffickers and, on moonless nights, squeezed onto severely overloaded fishing boats, braving the wind and waves to sneak into the United States or Europe.
A considerable number of them encountered maritime disasters such as capsized ships and drowned at sea. Some were discovered by the coast guard of the destination country, arrested, and repatriated.
There were even some unscrupulous human traffickers who had no intention of bringing these people to the United States or Europe. After collecting their money, they transported these people to international waters and then threw them into the sea to feed the fish, returning to pick up more people.
These people were Bis's best source of materials.
Bis had the members of the Dark Altar control several South American human traffickers, then gathered a large number of illegal immigrants, sailed the boats to seldom-trafficked international waters, and then Bis personally boarded the ship. Using her abilities on board, she drained all of them and threw their bodies into the sea.
These bodies, drained of their life force, were extremely difficult to preserve. After being soaked in seawater for a day or two in the sea, they would completely decompose, leaving no trace.
No one cared about the lives of these illegal immigrants. Their families and friends did not know if they had arrived in the United States, and Americans did not care about who was illegally entering the country.
Thus, in just one year, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants became Bis's pharmaceutical materials.
Therefore, today, Bis presented three Life Essence Pills as rewards for the three of them completing their mission, making it too difficult for them to refuse.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the three of us guarantee that we will complete the mission!" Alexander patted his chest, his previous concerns completely gone.
These guys were all desperate outlaws with a heavy gambling streak. As long as there were sufficient benefits, they wouldn't mind taking a gamble.
"Very good, I will give you a few days to prepare. You should take the pills first and complete your evolution, which will increase your chances of completing the mission!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bis raised her hand, and three black threads appeared in her hand. Each thread was connected to a Life Essence Pill at the end. She directly handed the pills to the three of them.
Without hesitation, the three of them opened their mouths and swallowed the pills.
Immediately, the physiques of these three people rapidly increased, and their clothes were torn apart. It was evident that some kind of change was occurring within their bodies.
Bis was not interested in these matters.
"If the three of you complete the mission beautifully, perhaps I will be happy and reward you with more Life Essence Pills.
However, if you dare to deceive me, to slack off, you know the consequences!
I will drain you dry. I know your vitality is very strong. If I drain you dry, I might be able to produce more than ten Life Essence Pills!"
Upon hearing this, the three beastmen trembled uncontrollably. They all knew that this Queen of Vengeance was absolutely true to her word, and the thought of such a threat was terrifying.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
In the past few days, a strange sight appeared by the river near the Slem camp in the Florida swamps.
The river was filled with the corpses of crocodiles and pythons, and the entire river water was dyed red.
The reason was that Ling Tian and Ali were sweeping the riverbank. Ling Tian held a large meteor hammer, Ali held a claw hammer, and a Sea Eagle flew overhead.
As soon as they spotted crocodiles over five meters long or pythons over ten meters long, the two of them would rush forward, swing their weapons, and smash them.
Even if the crocodiles and pythons were mutated, they couldn't withstand the relentless hammering from these two humanoid mechs. After killing them, Ali would directly take out a small knife, pry open their skulls, and extract the energy crystal cores.
Then, the corpses of the killed crocodiles and pythons were thrown back into the river. These corpses would attract more crocodiles, and then the two killing machines would continue their slaughter.
As they killed more and more, all the large crocodiles within a dozen kilometers of the river were killed, and there were no longer any crocodiles or pythons left in the river for the corpses to attract.
The owner of the base, Ata Slem, was also somewhat bewildered.
