As for the item Zhang Xiaoman drew, he didn't want to use it on Lin Sisi.

It's not because he was reluctant, but because the side effects of this thing are significant.

It was an item of blue quality, named the "Strong Giant Troll Potion".

After consumption, it could greatly enhance the human body's recovery ability within an hour.

This recovery effect is so good that it could not only heal an eye, but even allow a severed limb to regenerate, like a lizard's tail.

However, accompanying this domineering effect is the strong side effect of the potion.

According to the description of the Strong Giant Troll Potion, after drinking it, although one can gain the recovery ability matching the legendary troll,

simultaneously, the troll's strength will also permanently erode into oneself, thereby decreasing the drinker's rationality.

As one consumes more of this potion, the drinker will become increasingly emotional.

Impulsiveness, irritability, uncontrollability.

Ultimately, it will turn one into a complete lunatic.

Thus, how could Zhang Xiaoman possibly use such a potion on Lin Sisi?

Fortunately, he now has a new method.

Once the medical cabin becomes operational, he can restore Light to Lin Sisi, allowing her to see herself and everything firsthand.

...

Australia, Kandokruk Prairie.

This is the largest prairie in the central region of the country, and also the most ecologically complete prairie.

According to statistics, the number of wild animals living on this prairie accounts for 7.2% of the entire Australia's land-dwelling wild animals.

Do not underestimate this figure, as it compares with all the wild animals of the entire country, indicating its vast area and rich resources.

Unfortunately, such a beautiful prairie has been unrecognizable over the past month or so.

All over the prairie, instead of lush grasslands and clear rivers,

there are vast stretches of scorched earth, with some places even still ablaze, their fires lingering for a long time.

Upon closer inspection, it's not hard to find large and small pits dotting this scorched earth.

If you're an experienced soldier, you could tell that these pits are all craters made by shell explosions.

Such a number of craters in this era of peace seem very unreal.

Were it not seen with one's own eyes, speaking of it might only be dismissed as ignorance.

This is not to say Australia is under the threat of war.

These craters did not appear because of humans; they were caused by a large number of monsters recently appearing on the prairie.

These are creatures with white fur all over their bodies.

They possess terrifying speed, strength, reaction capabilities, and defensive abilities.

Ordinary rifle bullets can't even penetrate their white fur; only powerful explosions can kill them.

These white monsters vary in shape and size; the large ones can grow as tall as three to four meters, capable of crushing a tank head-on.

The smaller ones might be only as big as a rabbit, but they can use their agile speed and jumping ability to lock the throat of a fully armed soldier with one bite.

They all have a unified name—White Devils.

Of course, this name was given by the Australians; the people of the Star Alliance prefer to call them "White Monsters".

However, if it were merely so, that would be one thing.

The most frightening part is that the number of White Monsters is simply overwhelming.

So many that it feels as if all the animals of the prairie have rushed forward, like an endless beast tide.

The real situation is indeed as guessed.

The source of these monsters is not alien species from the Second Universe; they are all the original creatures of this prairie.

These creatures grew white fur all over their bodies after mutating; some of them even increased in size to become gigantic beings.

The culprit behind all this is a patch of black shadow at the boundary of the Kandokreek Prairie, codenamed "Black Mountain Goat".

In Western mythology, the term Black Mountain Goat symbolizes demons from Hell.

Because their color and horns are similar.

In some niche outer god systems, it is even an incarnation of a terrifying god demon.

It is the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, symbolizing an existence as foundational as the earth—Shabu Nicholas.

Of course, the existence appearing here cannot possibly be the legendary one, after all, those are fabricated myths, not reality.

But judging from the methods it currently demonstrates, the two seem to share a slight resemblance.

At least, when it comes to nurturing underlings, they seem to have a common preference.

However, this is only the beginning.

The threat level of the Black Mountain Goat has been repeatedly raised within the Star Alliance, even alerting Zhang Xiaoman, the Star Lord, more than once.

What's frustrating is that the Black Mountain Goat, as of now, only appears as a projection, making it impossible to pre-emptively eliminate it despite good intentions.

After all, the other side has not yet arrived, and no one can harm a projection.

But it is for this reason that people feel shocked.

The Black Mountain Goat is too eerie.

Just a projection before its true form descends can already interfere with the beings in the First Universe.

Those who see it experience mental disarray, their thoughts corrupted, and those who approach it directly mutate into white monsters.

Speaking of which, this point is somewhat akin to that guy from the Guleng Star System.

However, the mechanism of the mutations caused by the Black Mountain Goat has yet to be investigated thoroughly.

But its long projection process before descending already speaks volumes.

According to records, so far, no alien species has taken so long to descend into the world.

By general rationale, the longer the descent, the stronger the strength of the descender.

More than a month is indeed quite frightening.

Now, as the black projection deepens, the range it affects is also expanding.

What started as a few kilometers now spans nearly a hundred kilometers!

Imagine that—a radius of over a hundred kilometers is an enormous area.

If it were at the center of the prairie, it could almost cover the entire Kandokreek Prairie.

But such a situation is rather fortunate; the worst part is its occurrence at the edge of the prairie.

This means many regions inhabited by humans will fall under its influence.

Luckily, there are no actual towns nearby, only sparsely populated farms.

The Australian authorities promptly evacuated the population there, preventing any severe consequences.

Unfortunately, the wild animals couldn't be relocated in time and were influenced by the Black Mountain Goat, resulting in mutations.

This is why everyone has faced so many White Devil attacks over the past month.

In such a large ecological zone, the number of animals is excessive, and after transforming into white monsters, it becomes an outright disaster.

Fortunately, the Black Mountain Goat seems incapable of affecting plants and insects, providing a sigh of relief for all.

Otherwise, if all the insects in such a vast area turned into monsters, the defensive line might really become untenable.

Thus, someone summarized the situation.

The Black Mountain Goat can only influence life forms with self-awareness and has no effect on insects with mere survival instincts.

This appears to be a form of spiritual pollution.

In recent days, everyone stationed here has been extremely tense.

Because they have observed signs indicating the Black Mountain Goat's imminent official arrival.

PS: Spring Festival is here, wish everyone a happy New Year! A new year, new prospects, and good luck in the Year of the Tiger!
