Chapter 3526

But fortunately, the Moon Beast has never fully manifested in the Sixth Era. Some time ago, that archbishop of the 【Doom Sect】 did try to summon a part of this thing using a relic when ambushing Claire at "Lower Spring," but it didn't succeed at the time (Chapter 3259).

The power of all the monsters imprisoned in this hotel is suppressed, so the "Moon Beast" here is definitely not in its complete state. Considering that the big-tailed werewolf girl shouldn't be one to boast, Xia De reached out to prepare to open the door:

"Miss Novare, do you understand the power of the sun? The sun's power is the best at suppressing this kind of monster."

"Consider yourself lucky; I am one of the few witches among the vampire species who has studied solar secret arts."

The door was opened, and nothing was waiting behind it to attack them. When the candle in Xia De's hand illuminated a small part of the room, they did not see any behemoth curled up in the corner licking its wounds, but only saw a shapeless, wriggling mass of dark silver flesh polymer floating in the center of the room.

The polymer mass was generally spherical, and its color was like rusted silverware. The surface was not smooth but covered with constantly changing, glowing blood vessels resembling moon phase patterns.

As the flesh wriggled, the whole thing was also transforming from a sphere into other forms. Just the forms Xia De observed included a ball-like humanoid with an abnormally twisted and indefinite number of limbs; a sarcoma aggregate resembling a heart, and in this form, the flesh would ooze a viscous liquid like silver blood; and a single-horned young beast curled up and wrapped in fetal membranes, but it looked far from sacred, instead giving Xia De an instinctive feeling of nausea.

When that floating dark silver flesh turned into a sphere composed of multiple semi-melted human heads, Xia De finally recovered from his shock. The sphere slowly rotated in the air, and the pupils of the human heads forming the sphere, shaped like crescents or full moons, were all staring blankly at the two people in front of them.

No matter what form the flesh changed into, there was always a layer of dim, filthy silver moon radiance on its surface. The color of this moonlight distorted light and confused spatial perception; Xia De had never thought that moonlight could be so filthy.

However, the strange process of the dark silver flesh constantly evolving, as well as the posture it displayed like primitive life, reminded Xia De of himself. He was also proficient in the power of flesh. If he could transform into such a strange life posture, perhaps he could find the root of the moon's maternity and thereby master the Hundred-Phase Form of the moon...

Miss Novare, who was to the side, suddenly pushed Xia De, who was watching intently. She had long since looked away; the wriggling and deformation of the flesh made her feel as if her own body was also transforming toward a lunar form, as if the moon's posture were the end point of life evolution:

"Don't look, this is a monster."

Only then did Xia De snap out of his contemplation of the "maternity of the moon" just now, and then realized that he had actually been so focused on thinking about, feeling, and learning from a monster.

Although the moon has not only a gentle side but also a cold and cruel side, at least this blasphemous posture is definitely not the power the moon should have.

After being reminded by Miss Novare, Xia De also understood that the flesh in front of him was only displaying some kind of erroneous posture of the moon. Although he was quite talented in lunar spellcasting, there was no need to learn this kind of thing. It was probably the influence of absorbing the eldest son's flesh and the mimic mother fluid at the 【Mimic's Home】 a few days ago that had not yet disappeared; Xia De believed that in his normal state, he shouldn't be so easily attracted.

"Is this a Moon Beast? It seems different from the data I've read and the information you mentioned."

Miss Novare said softly, but both of them who used the moon's power knew that it must be it. It just looked like the monster had turned into its most primitive form after being seriously injured and was undergoing re-evolution in this form.

Even so, an erroneous moon is still a moon. In terms of pure volume, the other party's radiance was brighter than Xia De and the vampire witch combined in their normal states.

The hotel rooms have the characteristic of being indestructible, so there were no signs of battle in the room, and Xia De couldn't guess what the werewolf girl had done here. But she must be much stronger than when everyone parted ways at the "Different Tree Academy." Even if the monster was suppressed in this hotel, it was hard to imagine beating a "Moon Beast" into such a state.

That mass of dark silver flesh had no reaction to the arrival of the two. After confirming that the danger was not great, Xia De and Miss Novare began to search the room together.

The werewolf girl had indeed left some things in the room; a folded letter was placed in plain sight on the table not far from the mass of flesh. After opening it, it was written in the common language of the mid-Fifth Era—

【Xia De:

Long time no see!

I asked the god here, and He let me handle two small things for Him, and then told me that you would also come here soon. I originally wanted to wait here to meet you, but the moon is still calling me, and I have to keep running, so I won't wait for you this time.

The eyes of this Moon Beast once gazed at the Primordial Moon. Although its eyes are now turbid, the Primordial Moon still left a faint reflection in its eyes. I saw that beautiful reflection and wanted to share it with you.

So I processed one of the Moon Beast's eyes. To prevent the Moon Beast from retrieving it, I handed it over to the god downstairs for safekeeping, hoping that you can also see that beautiful reflection.

I must continue to pursue the moon and continue my pilgrimage. May we meet under the moon, and may the original silver moon protect you and me under the long night sky.

P. S.: I found many good supplies in this hotel. I don't need these, but the god said that storing any items with Him requires a storage fee, so I only let the god keep the eye, and put all other supplies in the bedroom closet of this room. You can go look for them; if they aren't there, then so be it, but if they are, I hope they can help you.】

Miss Novare didn't understand the language of the future. When she saw a pencil-drawn self-portrait of the werewolf girl at the bottom of the text, she was once again guessing the relationship between Xia De and Miss Bister in her heart.

Xia De looked at the sketch and thought of past stories, then translated the content above for Miss Novare and briefly explained the matter of this werewolf girl who could travel through time and space.

Upon hearing that the other party was pursuing the moon on a pilgrimage, searching for traces of the Primordial Moon in various times and spaces, the Twelfth-Order red-haired vampire expressed heartfelt envy:

"Such a pure and devout person is rare in our era. She will definitely be able to reach the realm of a demigod. Those demigods I know are all as pure as she is."

Miss Bister had actually left some of the supplies in her hands to Miss Novare when she saved her, but more of the werewolf girl's supplies were left here waiting for Xia De's arrival.

Xia De was curious why the god hadn't mentioned just now that the werewolf girl had left things for him, and "He" said softly:

【Perhaps if you had agreed to trade the key for information just now, that eye would have reached your hands.】

The supplies were quickly found. They were packed in a somewhat dirty canvas bag. There was no food, but there was clean water in pewter bottles. In addition, there was a full box of matches and a small silver candlestick—there were three candle stubs on the candlestick, making it look like a trident.

A book titled "Dark Age: Blood and Fire," which recorded some dark knowledge passed down from the Fourth Era; a small bottle of sparkling golden dust, and the note left by the werewolf girl said that this dust could permanently transform the substances it touched into gold.

A golden apple, but it was not converted from gold dust, but a true relic derivative—a golden apple. After being eaten completely, it could treat almost all injuries, including irreversible injuries caused by relics; it is a top-tier healing item. In addition, after using specific methods to make the golden apple into a potion, it could also briefly increase luck.

Xia De had once obtained this relic derivative and given it to Yiluna as her eighteenth birthday gift. So Xia De thought again that he hadn't prepared Ajelina's eighteenth birthday gift yet. The little princess would most likely compare it with Yiluna's, so Xia De still had to prepare it carefully.

Besides these things, there were also some alchemy and potion materials in the bag, all of which she had collected in this hotel. Although these things were not of much use to Xia De, and he couldn't take them away, these supplies would definitely be of great use to the witches temporarily trapped here.

The two then left the room with a full harvest. Because the Moon Beast was already in a state of being imprisoned, no new key appeared after closing the door.

The third attack of the blood-dripping figure did not appear in the corridor. Miss Novare extinguished the torch that was too bulky and carried it on her back, lit the candlestick she had just obtained, and then asked Xia De:

"My condition is not bad right now, and we have obtained a supply of matches, so let's set off for the 40th floor to take a look."

Xia De nodded:

"Then let's go."

The 40th floor sounded very high, but in reality, starting from the 25th floor, it was only necessary to go up 15 floors. For witches and Ring Warlocks, the physical strength consumed by climbing 15 floors was not even as much as the physical strength recovered. The real test for the two of them going up was actually the increasingly dangerous environment.

The "guests" on each floor might leave their rooms, but they could not break the rules to transfer between different floors via the stairs. However, the corners of the stairs on each floor belonged to the junction of the stairs and the corridor, and the sealed monsters could intervene in this area.

The 26th and 27th floors at the beginning were fine, but starting from the 28th floor, almost all floors had serious environmental hazards or things waiting for them in the corridors.
