Chapter 3454: Sending the Daddy

The Abyss Jar floated in mid-air. Caesar stared at the pitch-black pottery jar with thieving eyes. Everyone present could feel the feeling of a turtle locking eyes with a green bean.

The most excited among them was Wood. With this guy's level of scheming, his hands were actually trembling. He had an incredible feeling that... their Demon Race's "wild daddy" had found a new victim?

Caesar had clearly locked eyes with the Abyss Jar. The specific reason was unknown, but Caesar was who he was—a greedy character who would want to squeeze oil out of a stone picked up on the side of the road.

Caesar certainly knew that Wood had come to the Tree Life World to send away the Abyss Jar; Su Xiao had mentioned this. Even if Caesar locked eyes with the Abyss Jar, he wouldn't immediately touch the pottery jar.

"What a terrifying dangerous item."

Caesar sat back on the sofa, looking as if nothing had happened. The Abyss Jar floating in mid-air gradually fell and was held in Wood's hand.

At this moment, Wood's plan to send away the Abyss Jar suddenly became clear. He steadied his mind, not appearing too eager, and asked: "Mr. Caesar, have you used the Abyss Jar before?"

"Huh? No, how could I possibly touch such a dangerous item."

Caesar began to play dumb, looking as if he had no idea what had just happened.

The scene instantly reached a stalemate. On one side was a cunning person who could squeeze oil out of a stone, and on the other was an old schemer of the Demon Race. Both sides had their own thoughts.

Caesar's idea was that he could keep, or even obtain, the Abyss Jar, but the Demon Race represented by Wood had to provide a "Daddy-Sending Fee."

Wood's idea was that he must send away the Abyss Jar this time. Last time, after the Abyss Jar had a big battle with the Overgrowth Frenzy, the Abyss Jar was severely damaged. This led to Wood appearing directly at the Demon Race's station as soon as he escaped from the Painting World. The heavily damaged Abyss Jar took the Demon Race as a "Ten-Complete Great Tonic," and the Demon Race almost went into shock.

Moreover, Wood and the several old demons in power in the Demon Race discovered that after the Abyss Jar had a big battle with the Overgrowth Frenzy, its "appetite" had increased.

The "wild daddy's" appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on the Demon Race was also getting bigger and bigger. Several old demons felt speechless. How many years had it been? Couldn't the Abyss Jar change to another Void force to fleece? Why did it have to fleece their Demon Race?

Although Wood was eager to send away the Abyss Jar, he hadn't lost his composure. He knew how greedy Caesar was. In a sense, Caesar and the Abyss Jar had certain similarities. No, in terms of greed and the ability to pluck a goose, the Abyss Jar couldn't compare to Caesar.

Therefore, Wood had to be cautious. He could part with a large amount of resources, but there had to be a limit. After being "Ten-Complete Great Tonic-ed" by the Abyss Jar before, their Demon Race was already poor enough. Although the clan hadn't made him, the "hope of the whole village," poor, Wood still had to be frugal.

"Mr. Caesar, it's like this: I see that you and this jar are fated, why not..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I have no fate with that broken jar."

As soon as Caesar finished speaking, the Abyss Jar in Wood's hand opened its lid on its own. After the jar body enlarged, with a *pop*, it sucked onto Caesar's head, covering his head with the jar.

Seeing this scene, Wood took two big steps back and sighed inwardly, thinking that Caesar was likely gone.

"The view is much broader."

Caesar spoke. He had the Abyssal Jar, which had been enlarged several times, buckled on top of his head. Although there were no eye holes on it, he could clearly see the outside.

Hearing this, Wood's pupil flames seemed to widen a bit, his expression carrying disbelief.

In Wood's astonished gaze, Caesar tapped the Abyss Jar lightly with his index finger. With a *pop*, the Abyss Jar detached from Caesar's head and gradually shrank to the size of a teacup.

This scene made Wood take two big steps forward, grab Caesar's hand, and say: "Mr. Caesar, from now on, I entrust the Abyss Jar to your care. This is the sincerity of our Demon Race."

While Wood was speaking, he took out a small leather package, handed it to Caesar, and quietly stuffed the lid of the Abyss Jar into Caesar's hand.

"This..."

Caesar's tone carried hesitation, but when he squeezed the small leather bag in his hand and sensed the items inside, his eyes suddenly widened. It wasn't that his willpower wasn't firm enough, but that the Demon Race had given too much. Even for Caesar, he felt a brief sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, then I'll reluctantly accept it."

"Contract... signed!"

Wood's mouth emitted a hollow and deep sound. A black sheepskin paper appeared behind him. This sheepskin paper expanded horizontally with a *swish*, like a huge scroll.

The black contract expanded several meters in the room but still couldn't fully unfold. It was covered with dense names. Located toward the back was a name: Wobo Wood.

Hiss~

The black contract behind Wood's figure was ignited by a ghostly green flame. During the burning process, it was like burning plastic, dripping black, turbid, scorched matter.

When the black contract behind Wood burned out, a new black contract sheepskin paper appeared behind Caesar.

The new black contract sheepskin paper was only the size of A4 paper. The shape of the Abyss Jar was gradually outlined on it, followed by many fly-like small characters that couldn't be understood. On the final signature of the contract, the name Nicholas Caesar was imprinted.

Wood carefully observed this newly appeared black contract. Even with his attainments as a "Contract Master," he had never seen a contract similar to this. However, this contract was completely different from when they, the Demon Race, concluded a contract with the Abyss Jar.

Of course it was different. The relationship between the Abyss Jar and the Demon Race was that of "perpetrator" and "victim," "wild daddy" and "daddy's worshiper."

And this contract between Caesar and the Abyss Jar belonged to "colluding together"—no, "colluding for evil" would be more appropriate.

The Abyss Jar locked eyes with Caesar for many reasons, but it wasn't because Caesar was a "chosen one," but because:

1. The Abyss Jar had been harming the Demon Race for many years, and after the big battle with the Overgrowth Frenzy, the Abyss Jar could only take the Demon Race as a "Ten-Complete Great Tonic." To this day, the Abyss Jar might feel that the Demon Race was no longer rich, feeling slightly disgusted, but it couldn't find another force to persecute, so it had to make do.

2. Although Caesar was in the Reincarnation Paradise camp, he wasn't a contractor or a Hunter, but rather a neutral Arbiter. In this way, the Abyss Jar wouldn't be rejected by the Reincarnation Paradise and could also use Caesar's Arbiter status to obtain a certain degree of notarization, which was very clever.

3. Caesar's own compatibility with the Abyssal Jar was very high, especially after the Abyssal Jar had enlarged a bit and was buckled on Caesar's head just now; that feeling of collusion was explosive. The Abyssal Jar had changed its strategy; perhaps it had already discovered that even if it could find the next "good son," those "good sons" would be very unwilling and would try every possible way to get rid of it.

4. Since the big battle between the Abyss Jar and the Overgrowth Frenzy in the Painting World, and having improved somewhat, the Abyss Jar no longer tended to reside in the Demon Race for a long time, but wanted to go to different worlds and step to a higher level. Cooperating with Caesar could clearly satisfy this point.

These conditions added up to facilitate Caesar and the Abyss Jar locking eyes with each other.

The black contract gradually faded. The Abyss Jar fell into Caesar's hand. Caesar treated it like a treasure, stroking the jar wall of the Abyss Jar and carefully observing every detail.

Seeing this scene, Wood breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. The heavy burden on his shoulders disappeared at this moment. He even felt a momentary sense of unreality. The wild daddy who had harmed their Demon Race for so many years had finally been sent away.

However, seeing the expression of treating it like a treasure in Caesar's eyes, a trace of intolerance appeared in Wood's heart. In turn, this trace of intolerance was swallowed up by his "old schemer soul."

Just when everyone thought Caesar was going to live in peace with the Abyss Jar, he suddenly took a deep breath.

"Heh—ptui!"

Caesar spat a large sticky phlegm into the Abyss Jar and immediately buckled the lid on. Perhaps the Abyss Jar didn't expect this situation and didn't react at the first moment.

Caesar was who he was. Would he not see that the Abyss Jar wanted to get a tool person? In fact, he had seen it long ago, but his greed for the Abyss Jar made him decide to use the notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise and the Tree of Void to confront this broken jar.

Caesar took out one of his "Three Divine Artifacts," the 【Filthy Foot Wrap】, with lightning speed, and used this rotten bandage-like foot wrap to wrap the Abyss Jar.

Perhaps disgusted by Caesar's large sticky phlegm, the Abyss Jar was careless. Just as it was about to react, it was wrapped in the 【Filthy Foot Wrap】, which caused its counterattack to stall.

Caesar didn't stop his movements. He pulled out the 【Deceiver's Head Wrap】, used this shit-yellow head wrap as a bag, and stuffed the Abyss Jar wrapped in the 【Filthy Foot Wrap】 into it.

This wasn't the end. Caesar took out a worn-out POS machine from his crotch, which was 【Endless Greed】, and threw it all into the head wrap.

After doing all this, Caesar only had time to catch his breath. Sweating on his head, he took out the 【Ouroboros Slate】, making a gesture to stuff it into the head wrap. Heaven knows what structure this head wrap was to be able to hold so many terrifying things.

Tat tat tat!

The 【Ouroboros Slate】 in Caesar's hand trembled at a high frequency. Su Xiao, not far away, even saw the words "Please, don't" appear on the slate.

Caesar didn't care about these. He threw the 【Ouroboros Slate】 into the head wrap with his backhand, thinking this was the end? No, Caesar took off his shoes and socks and stuffed both his shoes and socks into the head wrap.

Caesar took out two more badges and used them at the same time. One badge's effect was to temporarily obtain the protective notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise, and the other badge's effect was to obtain the life-locking permission of the Tree of Void.

Caesar knew that on his own, even if all his "Divine Artifacts" were out, he couldn't confront the Abyss Jar. But Caesar knew how to borrow power—borrowing the power of the Reincarnation Paradise and the Tree of Void to arrange the Abyss Jar.

Caesar had never thought of subduing or controlling the Abyss Jar. He absolutely couldn't do this, but he wouldn't become the Abyss Jar's tool person. His bottom line was to have fair and equal cooperation with the Abyss Jar.

Caesar's operation made Wood's scalp tingle. It wasn't that their Demon Race hadn't tried to resist this daddy and become a "filial son." Unfortunately, several times of resistance didn't make them filial sons, but instead, they were disciplined until they were miserable.

"This should be no problem..."

Just as Caesar spoke, black silk lightning appeared in his body, exploding with a *ziz* sound, electrocuting Caesar until he almost rolled his eyes, his whole body "shivering like a flower."

"Ya ya ya ya ya..."

Caesar lay straight on the ground, black lightning darting all over his body, shivering non-stop.

And beside Caesar, the Abyss Jar, which had first been attacked by sticky phlegm and then "tortured" by a series of means, was inside the head wrap: "De-de-de-de-de..."

The Abyss Jar trembled non-stop. It was unknown whether it was angry or disgusted.

On the left, Caesar lay on the ground, electrocuted until he was "shivering like a flower," and on the right, the Abyss Jar inside the head wrap was "de-de-de" trembling non-stop. This scene made people want to laugh inexplicably.

Wood couldn't laugh. He turned and retreated. Not only him, but Su Xiao, Sin Abyss, Xiang Bubu, and Baja also rushed out. This place was not suitable for staying long. They went to the courtyard outside to observe the situation first.

Su Xiao had just rushed out of the small building when a muffled sound came from behind, and a black lightning bolt struck the small building.

This huge sound attracted the female warrior Fen Wei and the Ghost Shadow Di Yuke, who were guarding nearby. These two were guards sent by the Elf King. Although they said so, they were actually monitoring + protecting, both of which were true.

Among them, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke's face was pale. It made sense; ever since he was appointed as Su Xiao's guard, this leader of the assassination squad had been having diarrhea more than ten times a day. As the saying goes, a hero can't withstand three bouts of diarrhea, let alone Ghost Shadow Di Yuke having more than ten bouts a day. He even began to doubt life, feeling that he wasn't sent to monitor and protect the Pharmacist Bai Ye, but to guard the toilet.

"Lord Bai Ye, are you okay?"

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke spoke, his voice revealing a bit of weakness.

"..."

Su Xiao frowned and looked at Ghost Shadow Di Yuke. There was a sour, foul smell on the other party. He said: "What is this strange smell on you?"

"Uh~, this~"

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke suddenly felt a bit aggrieved. He had diarrhea more than ten times a day, so he naturally guessed what was going on. He was sure that it was Su Xiao who had poisoned him.

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke consciously stood a little further away, his spirit seemingly a bit weaker.

A scene like "crossing the heavenly tribulation" appeared. The dark clouds above formed a vortex, and from time to time, a black lightning bolt struck down and merged into the small building. Strangely, the small building wasn't shattered, only the roof was pierced.

It took nearly half an hour for the strange sound in the sky to subside. The Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle, who was still in Bay City, was almost promoted by Su Xiao, so the city guards attracted by the surroundings didn't dare to get too close.

The door of the small building was pushed open. Caesar walked out in a "beggar outfit," with a lightning-struck hairstyle on his head and a scorched face. He blinked those eyes that naturally carried a thieving look, and while coughing twice, he spat out two puffs of smoke.

"How is it?"

Wood was the most concerned about the current situation.

"It's okay."

Caesar said this almost in tears. From the current situation, he had lost this time, which was very rare.

"That Abyss Jar..."

Wood first determined whether a desperate scene like "the return of the wild daddy" would appear.

"I have already signed a follow-up contract with that broken jar."

Hearing this, Wood's high-hanging heart was put down. He stood in place and was silent for a moment before returning to his usual steadiness, not revealing any ecstatic expression. After all, he was an old schemer of the Demon Race.

Wood didn't choose to leave the "Good Teammate Team" immediately. The reason was that last time he sent away the Abyss Jar, he retreated in a hurry, and as a result, the Abyss Jar didn't stay with the Skeleton Gambler for long before it came back. So Wood decided that he couldn't leave in a hurry this time and would observe for a period of time first.

Su Xiao's eyes showed contemplation. He was hesitating whether to take out the "Necronomicon" and give it to Caesar. If Caesar didn't want it, then give it to Wood?

After weighing it, Su Xiao dismissed the idea of giving the "Necronomicon" to Wood. This was truly not something a human could do. If the Demon Race had just sent away a wild daddy and then happily received a new daddy, the blood pressure of those few old demons would break through the sky on the spot, and they might even burst a blood vessel.

Wood seemed to notice Su Xiao's gaze. His pupil flames shrank, and he looked at Su Xiao with a bit of vigilance, asking: "Bai Ye, what are you going to do?"

Wood's tone was full of vigilance.

"I want to ask you for a favor."

"No."

"..."

Su Xiao took out Gulu's 50,000 Soul Coin IOU from his storage space, which made Wood look suspicious, asking: "Just this?"

"Yes."

"Helping you with this is fine."

Wood took the IOU and began to conceive a plan. Seeing this, Su Xiao asked the female warrior Fen Wei to find a nearby residence. Not to mention that this small building might mutate, just the fact that Caesar had taken off his shoes inside made people not want to live here.

On the way to the new residence, Su Xiao saw Caesar take out the Ouroboros Slate. At this time, the Ouroboros Slate looked as if it had suffered severe weathering, covered with honeycomb holes. Seeming to notice Su Xiao's gaze, the slate showed: "My Law-Breaker master, I am ready to serve you again. Please save me."

Su Xiao ignored it. The slate had always been a death penalty he didn't dare to execute. Every time, it admitted its mistakes with a good attitude, but it just wouldn't change.

Half an hour later, in the dining room of a three-story mansion, Su Xiao, Wood, Sin Abyss, Caesar, Xiang Bubu Wang, and Baja sat around the dining table, enjoying a late lunch.

Among them, Wood had the best appetite, having already eaten half a roast suckling pig, a leg of lamb, three rib-eye steaks, and other dishes.

Wood put down his napkin and took out Gulu's IOU again, thinking about how to construct the debt contract.

"Bai Ye, is it possible for this debtor to pay off 50,000 Soul Coins in a single payment?"

"Not very likely."

"In that case, we have to consider letting the other party pay in installments, let's divide it into five cycles."

"Five periods? Too short," Sin Abyss spoke. Hearing this, Wood cast his gaze at him.

Sin Abyss took the IOU. He was the most professional in this regard. One of his incomes in the Meteorite Star was through lending money to others.

"Divide it into ten periods. Since it's a debt, it can't be interest-free. If the daily conversion rate is 3%..."

"Wait... wait a minute! Daily conversion rate?!"

Baja was shocked, almost spitting out the tea in his mouth.

"Yeah, in the Meteorite Star, loans are all daily conversion rates. Who knows how long the borrower can live? I'm willing to lend money to help him save his life, so of course he has to repay me."

Sin Abyss looked at Baja strangely, not understanding why Baja was surprised by such a thing.

"Hiss~, you say that, and I really can't refute it."

"Compared to the daily conversion rate, I care more about the handling fee."

Caesar also spoke. Not long after, Wood, Sin Abyss, and Caesar began to whisper to each other at the dining table. Caesar even took out an abacus and a calculator, and from time to time, one could hear the sounds of "zeroing out, zeroing out."

Gulu... danger!

Not long after, Wood handed a debt contract to Su Xiao, and Su Xiao opened it to check.

The base price of this debt contract was 50,000 Soul Coins, with ten periods of repayment and a daily rate of 3%. That is to say, by tomorrow, Gulu would owe Su Xiao an additional 1,500 Soul Coins. What's more pit-like is that these 1,500 Soul Coins would be counted into the principal, and the interest for the next day would become 51,500 * 3% = 1,545.

Not only that, there was a handling fee for each repayment period. The calculation method for the handling fee was extremely complex and "reasonable." Su Xiao estimated that if Gulu could pay until the tenth period, the handling fee would be more than ten times higher than the repayment amount. Compared to interest, this thing was actually more terrifying. This was a reinforced version of a campus loan arranged for Gulu.

If Gulu saw this debt contract, she would probably be so angry that she would say goodbye to this beautiful world on the spot. Work hard to repay Su Xiao's debt? Don't be naive; even selling her body wouldn't pay it off.

Su Xiao didn't expect Gulu to repay this debt; that wasn't very realistic. But this IOU had value. First, let Gulu know about the existence of this contract IOU.

With Gulu's temper, she would inevitably be very angry, and then Su Xiao would slowly induce her by removing the repayment handling fee, removing the interest, and removing the installment payment. When Gulu was no longer so resistant to owing 50,000 Soul Coins, Su Xiao would then slash the amount of 50,000 to 20,000.

Compared to the compound interest, which could eventually roll out an IOU of 790,000 Soul Coins, taking out 12,000 to 20,000 Soul Coins was much easier to accept. Su Xiao's minimum expectation was a profit of 12,000 Soul Coins.

Su Xiao put away the contract IOU. He thought about it and decided to let Gulu have some sense of crisis so that it would be easier to squeeze Soul Coins later. He opened the World Contact Platform and began to speak.

Bai Ye (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "Gulu, the debt contract for the Soul Coins has been established."

【Hint: This message has paid 10 Soul Coins and will be specially reminded to Reincarnation Paradise Some Qiyuezhe Gulu in the form of an email.】

Soon, Gulu replied in the World Contact Platform.

Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "I don't owe you any Soul Coins, and also, the broken wax you gave me has a problem, 【Semi-Molten Fat Wax】."

Crow Woman (Overlord/Arcane Eternal Star): "This thing... you dare to use it? Do you know what the Candle Woman represents? Or did you bring the Candle Woman to this world?"

Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "No."

Bai Ye (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "【Repayment Terms (Author: Wobo Wood, this content requires opening the branch list to view details, each view requires paying 1 Soul Coin)】."

Lian Ge (Watchman Paradise): "Good guy, I'm a direct good guy. If this thing is fully repaid, it will at least be over 100,000 Soul Coins."

National Football Second Brother (Reincarnation Paradise): "The brother upstairs is bad at math. By the extreme repayment day, the debt amount can reach up to 795,367 Soul Coins."

Anonymous (Apocalypse Paradise): "National Football Second Brother, how could you calculate such a math problem? You three brothers are so funny."

National Football Second Brother (Reincarnation Paradise): "We are funny, but not stupid, thank you."

Lian Ge (Watchman Paradise): "Who the hell are you touching?"

Gulu (Reincarnation Paradise): "???????"

Bee: "w(? Д?)w"

Witch Doctor (Sanctuary Paradise): "The hearts of people in the Reincarnation Paradise are really black."

Grey Gentleman (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "Don't count me in, I'm not that black."

Solomon (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "Me too."

Crow Woman (Overlord/Arcane Eternal Star): "Priest, I won't let this matter of you plotting against me go. I know you're not dead yet, stop pretending."

Bai Ye (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "You actually thought of these?"

Crow Woman (Overlord/Arcane Eternal Star): "The Grey Gentleman said it, so what, isn't it okay?"

Bai Ye (Overlord/Reincarnation Paradise): "Oh, I thought your IQ had improved. That makes me feel relieved."

Anonymous (Apocalypse Paradise): "Hahahahaha."

Crow Woman (Overlord/Arcane Eternal Star): "You ***, I ***,??????"

National Football Second Brother (Reincarnation Paradise): "It appeared! Someone cursed in Ancient Elf language, @Black Rose."

Black Rose (Reincarnation Paradise): "Get lost, I'm not in the mood to deal with you."

【Hint: Participant Black Rose's remaining speaking times, 2/3.】

Bee: "╰(*°▽°*)╯"

Su Xiao closed the contact platform. He glanced at the time; it was still a few hours away from the 7 PM meeting with the Elf King.

In the past few days, Su Xiao had heard people mention the "Fishing Village Incident" more than once. He had asked the Elf King and the Royal Descendant Eliton, but both of them brushed it off.

Originally, Su Xiao didn't intend to investigate this matter, but one problem stuck in his throat like a thorn: the Elf Clan's "Turbid Blood Disease" didn't seem to be caused simply by drinking distorted Abyss power; there should be other inducements.

Through diagnosing multiple "Turbid Blood Disease" patients, Su Xiao determined one point: the Elf Clan's "Turbid Blood Disease" should have broken out long ago, but it seemed to have been forcibly suppressed by some means.

The result was that the suppression wasn't good, and instead caused the "Turbid Blood Disease" to distort once more. This outbreak was more violent and rapid.

Although the four people from the fishing village had been fished out of the underground prison, these four people didn't know about the "Fishing Village Incident," only mentioning that the fishing village where they lived had been purged once many years ago.

At that time, the four people from the fishing village were only in their teens. They only remembered being caught by a group of people and released a few days later. After the incident, many people in the fishing village died, all the believers in the village died, and the "Mother of Water" that the fishing village worshipped also abandoned them.

"Fishing Village Incident? It is said that more than ten years ago, the ocean deity there went missing."

Sin Abyss spoke.

"Do you know the details of this matter?"

"Cough~, I know some."

"..."

Su Xiao tossed a Soul Crystal (Large) to Sin Abyss. Sin Abyss immediately knew much more and began to narrate the truth of the Fishing Village Incident.

That was about 16 years ago. The villagers of the fishing village lived in poverty. The fish catch in the near sea was getting less and less, and sea monsters appeared in the slightly farther sea areas, so they didn't dare to go there at all.

When the fishing village was struggling to the point of starvation and people began to die of hunger, an ocean deity was stranded. This ocean deity was severely injured, but under the careful care of the villagers, this ocean deity survived this difficulty by absorbing a trace of faith power.

This ocean deity didn't leave immediately. It taught the villagers bizarre knowledge from another world, allowing the villagers to gradually become oceanized and better suited for living by the sea.

Is it hard to accept becoming a monster with fish gills and pale, greasy skin? No, that's a thought only modern people who have never been hungry have. For those villagers, as long as they could fill their stomachs, they didn't care if they were still human. People who have never experienced hunger can never understand how terrifying that feeling of being slowly "eaten" by one's own internal organs is.

That ocean deity called itself the "Mother of Water." Its arrival made the fishing village gradually prosperous, even alarming Bay City.

At that time, a fever broke out in Bay City. This fever spread within a very short time, and many people in Bay City fell ill. Half a year later, this terrible disease was cured. The physicians of the Royal Family concocted a medicinal soup. After drinking it, one would sweat profusely, and within two days, the fever would be cured.

The fever was cured, but the residents of Bay City all discovered that they began to dislike dry environments. After being in dry conditions for a long time, their whole bodies would shed dead skin and become dehydrated, until the Royal Family introduced a waterfall behind the city to make Bay City's water vapor sufficient. Not only did this condition improve, but the skin of the female residents in the city also became much better, becoming fair and delicate.

Hearing this, Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on. He said:

"In other words, the Royal Family dispatched an elite squad to the fishing village to hunt the Mother of Water? Using the Mother of Water as a medicinal ingredient to treat the fever?"

"Yes, Bai Ye. Do you know why the Elf King didn't agree to let you enter the Great Ruins? At this very moment, the Mother of Water is still alive, imprisoned in the Great Ruins. The Elf race cannot live without its flesh and blood."

Just as Sin Abyss said this, a hurried knocking on the door interrupted his words. After Baha opened the door, he found it was the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle.

The Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle, strode into the room. Ignoring etiquette, he picked up the teapot on the table and gulped it down.

"Mr. Bai Ye, something is terribly wrong. A large-scale riot has broken out in the East City, and the Turbid Blood Disease has broken out on a large scale. His Majesty wants you to go to the Royal Palace immediately."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. The sheathed Dragon Flash appeared in his hand. He knew that something big was about to happen.

"Mr. Bai Ye, no need to be so vigilant. I brought personal guards, and the Rear City District is very safe. Cough~, sorry, let me drink some more water, I'm so thirsty."

Just as the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Arle, made a move, with a "splat," a large piece of flesh and blood stained with mucus fell onto the table. This flesh and blood looked as if it had fallen from a rotting corpse, greasy and mushy.

Arle was stunned for a moment. He looked down at his hands, only to see a pair of wet, cold, large white claws, with white scales of uneven size after aberration on the skin.

"Mr. Bai Ye?"

Arle looked around, only to find that he had to lower his head slightly to look Su Xiao, Wood, and Sin Abyss in the eye. Moreover, there was something on his head. He raised his hand to touch it; it was the ceiling.

Arle subconsciously stood up straight. The ceiling above his head was pushed through like tofu dregs. It wasn't that Su Xiao and the others had become shorter, but that Arle had become taller.

"Mr. Bai Ye, am I... sick?"

Arle lowered his body. The "skin" that had originally served as a human on his body scattered. At this moment, Arle had turned into a monster nearly 4 meters tall, humanoid in its entirety. Looking at his head, it should be some kind of sea monster. His whole body was wet, looking greasy and cold.

"Sorry, Mr. Bai Ye, I accidentally turned into a monster like my father. But this time, there are many people accompanying me. Mr. Bai Ye, I am very thirsty. Can you use your flesh and blood to quench my thirst?"

Arle, who had transformed into a monster, revealed a ghostly blue light in his eyes. From his mouth, filled with uneven sharp teeth, viscous, pale yellow saliva secreted. In fact, he didn't need to say sorry. After all, in the building where he chose to aberrate into a monster, there were a total of three humanoid big bosses. It could only be said that Arle really knew how to choose a place.
