Equivalent exchange.
In fact, Dumps had earlier promised to absolve Han Dong of a debt of ten thousand copper coins.
If this mysterious ‘Mother’ was willing to give a corresponding reward, Han Dong would accept it too.
Subsequently, ‘Mother’ turned her attention to Mia, who was nestled scared in Han Dong’s shoulder.
Her voice echoed directly throughout the current hall.
“Curse Sect, Spider God… Quite an interesting combination.
Some things in Insect Valley would indeed be a good choice for you.
But, just relying on you, a little spider grown in a greenhouse, only seeking refuge can let you survive.
If you need my ‘protection,’ you will have to give me something valuable…whether you are a friend of Dumps or not.
Here, I only engage in equivalent exchange.”
It was already established beforehand that Insect Valley was Mia’s top pick for Breaking the Breed.
But the important item carried by Mia was the Demon Sword, which naturally wouldn’t be used for trading.
At this point, Han Dong took the initiative to suggest:
“Can I use the ‘favor’ of assisting Dumps to exchange for her ‘protection’?”
“Yes.”
As soon as these words came out.
Mia was first startled, and then she immediately threw herself into Han Dong’s arms, her eyes filled with tears.
It seemed as if Han Dong was very concerned about Mia and wanted to help her.
In reality, Han Dong’s instinct told him to avoid as much association with this ‘Mother’ as possible… He might as well use the ‘reward’ he gets from helping Dumps on Mia instead.
From the perspective of interests alone.
The investment made on Mia would definitely be more worthwhile than directly receiving a reward.
“Come with me… Let’s first verify if you are really useful.”
Mother stood up and, in a unique floating manner, came to a door at the back of the hall.
Behind the door was a long corridor with neatly arranged torches, there were also many forks in the road, finally leading to a room filled with a ‘fleshy’ smell.
While following, Han Dong couldn’t help but marvel at the complexity of the space within the wooden house, like a large maze area.
Clang clang!
Before they could even step out of the corridor, the violent collision and tugging sounds of iron chains could already be heard.
“This is…”
In the large, open, arched area was a Faceless lifeform tethered by more than ten giant iron chains. Its flesh-like surface moulded into the shape of an ‘upper body of a human.’
It was over thirty meters high in total.
Looking from afar, it appeared to have a skin-like body surface, but it was actually made up of countless flesh-like tentacles.
Once you comprehend it, you would instantly become deeply polluted by the ‘fear of clusters’…
“A Mature Body-Demon is imprisoned here?
There are over a dozen doors in the hall, and each door corresponds to a large number of forks in the corridor. Could it be that hundreds of Demons are imprisoned here?”
Han Dong, who had fought face-to-face with the Count.
He was able to identify from the aura that the giant lifeform bound by the chains is, in some way, not inferior to the Count.
“Within five minutes, identify and mark the 73 vulnerable points of this ‘Mani’s body’…”
After saying that, a piece of paper depicting the outline of the monster fell in front of Han Dong.
At the same time, the restrictions on the little Demon’s Eye and various perception abilities were lifted at that moment.
Apparently, this ‘Mother’ could seal others’ sensory abilities by covering her own senses any time… It was this kind of bizarre and strange ability that made Han Dong feel very uncomfortable since setting foot in the wooden house.
“Alright.”
Magic Eye Wide Open.
“The point where the energy in the target’s body converges should be the ‘weakness’… and there are exactly 73 of them.”
Just as Han Dong was about to mark the points of weakness, he suddenly realized something.
He quickly approached until he was ten meters away and took another look at this giant creature with the upper body of a human.
“This is wrong, these convergence points cannot be considered the main weaknesses. It would be pointless if they cannot be blocked at the same time… I need to see deeper.”
The kaleidoscopic Mark appeared between the eyes.
[Pupil Mark]
His penetrative ability was further enhanced, piercing through numerous densely packed tentacles, passing through the energy layers overflowing within the body of the demon, he glimpsed a very hidden core.
“Hmm… this is!?”
Han Dong quickly drew the outline of a baby in the center of the paper.
At the same moment Han Dong presented his answer, ‘Mother’ was also taken aback.
“He can actually see the [Infant Body].
In this case, you can also help Dumps peek into the core of the [Demon Spirit]… As long as Dumps can Break the Breed, I will provide sufficient protection for your friend.”
“Thank you.”
…
As they returned to the center of the cabin.
Some sort of substance was wriggling in ‘Mother’s’ throat.
Rotating her palm which covered her mouth, three ‘flesh orbs’ produced by Mother protruded.
“This will ensure that you can stay in the Magic Crystal Canyon for three days without being affected by the Nether Essence… I’ll wait for your return at the same spot.
Dumps will answer any questions you have on the way.
The [Demon Spirit] may be lurking in any corner of the Magic Crystal Canyon, or hidden within the magic crystal, it must be found as soon as possible.”
With that, the wooden door leading to the outside opened.
Han Dong and the others had arrived at an entirely unknown canyon area a thousand kilometers away from the Holy City.
Only large-scale expeditions could reach such a remote area… The fact that the Magic Crystal Canyon was the location for the last expedition feedback, written down six decades ago, was all the information the Holy City had.
The cabin parked at the platform in the middle of the canyon.
Between the canyon walls, a large number of crystal clusters of various colors emitted a brilliant glow, and some invisible crystal particles floated in the air.
These were supposedly the ‘Nether Essence’, and once inhaled into the body will cause a triple effect.
1. The Nether Essence enters the blood and flows to the brain, absorbing and blocking the energy of the seed or Talent Tree. A large amount of intake can even cause irreparable damage to the Talent Tree.
2. The Nether Essence will assimilate with the body, leading to crystallization.
3. After inhaling the Nether Essence, one will be ‘marked’, attracting a large number of Fiends living in the Magic Crystal Canyon.
“Dumps, what does the [Demon Spirit] look like?”
“The formation of Evil is fundamentally based on ‘Magic Crystal’.
This includes the Crystal Beasts that form when invaded by Nether Essence or some Magic Crystal Insects.
And the extremely rare ‘Perfect Crystal Man’ – pure Magic Crystal Form made with the consciousness of the dead.
However, when such a Perfect Crystal Man evolves into a Demon, it will undergo two different changes.
The first type will absorb a large amount of Magic Crystal, forming a very threatening and gigantic Crystal Giant.
The second type will shed the crystals on the body, transforming into a pure [Demon Spirit].
What I am looking for is this extremely rare Demon Spirit roaming in the Magic Crystal Canyon… There is nothing more suitable for my Breaking the Breed ritual than this pure source of Demon.
Mother has already confirmed through a treasure that a new Demon Spirit has been born here.
I need to use your special eyes to search for the target…”
