Chapter 341: Chapter 339: Killing the Donkey Before It’s Even Off the Millstone?
Another seven days passed.
Katro City still hadn’t been attacked by Abyssal Beasts.
Yu Yan temporarily stopped the challenge because if he continued, it would be hard to say he wouldn’t encounter Yin Zang. It was better to let Yin Zang challenge the Beast King on the hundredth floor first. If he failed, then Yu Yan would step in.
Sally’s wrist now carried Holy War Points amounting to 69,823,560; even without reaping more points through battles or undertaking point tasks, advancing to the second stage would be no issue.
The condition was that none of the four of them could experience any mishaps—especially Welly, who alone carried thirty million Holy War Points.
After returning from outside, Yu Yan knocked and entered Sally’s room.
Sally had unveiled the painting Zi Qi asked Yu Yan to purchase. Although she didn’t see the skeletal image in it, it was the only desert scene in the gallery at that time.
Seeing Yu Yan enter, Sally asked, “Did you find out anything?”
Yu Yan replied, “Before the start of the Holy War, a few people did indeed come to Katro City from the Holy Capital Continent. They reinforced a seal at the location Sister Su mentioned.”
“As expected… Did you find out who these people were?”
“Several high-ranking clerics from the Holy Church arrived, some in white robes and others in gold robes.”
“Were any of them green-eyed?” Sally’s left hand cradled her chest while her right thumb and index finger slowly rubbed together.
Yu Yan, noticing her obvious nervousness, answered, “There was one who seemed very young and was not dressed in religious attire. But the cleric in the gold robe, he always spoke to that man.”
“That must be Frans…” Sally’s expression changed in an instant.
Had Frans recovered his memory, why then had he not come looking for her? At this point, she was almost ready to shout out to the world with a megaphone.
Or perhaps, he had simply predicted the catastrophe that would befall Katro City.
Frans possessed the talent to trace back to the past and foresee the future.
Given his fondness for his children, if he had regained his memory, he would certainly not hesitate to seek her out for his children. It must be that he hadn’t recovered his memory yet.
“Who is this green-eyed male? Why are you so nervous about him?” Welly, seeing the door ajar, walked straight in and heard their conversation, as well as observing Sally’s solemn and uneasy demeanor.
Sally looked at him and noticed the injury on the back of his hand, which was still bleeding, and asked, “What happened?”
“Answer my question first.”
“He is my Beast Husband.”
Sally replied truthfully.
This news surprised not only Welly but also Yu Yan, “Sister Su’s Beast Husband?”
“Yes.” Sally took out an emergency medical kit from the System Space, “I’ve answered your question, now what’s this all about?”
“A big tree catches much wind,” Welly replied.
“And the wind?” Sally quickly tended to his injury.
“It dissipated naturally upon hitting the south wall.”
“…Your priority now should be to protect yourself. If you die, I lose thirty million Holy War Points.”
Welly looked at her, then suddenly turned to Yu Yan and said, “Bring me a glass of wine.”
Yu Yan also felt like having a drink, so he poured two glasses, “The two of us are in the light, you are in the dark, take extra care about your safety.”
“No worries.” Welly took a sip of his drink and continued to question Sally, “So, you’re participating in the Holy War to find your Beast Husband?”
“Indeed, I am here to find the Beast Husband.” Knowing Welly’s astuteness wasn’t from just a day or two of acquaintance, Sally didn’t bother to hide anything from him—it simply saved her the trouble.
Welly swirled his glass and stared into the deep red wine within, “Just how many Beast Husbands do you have?”
“That’s none of your business,” Sally glared at him, “anyway, you’re not one of them.”
[Host, you could consider this person. His Talent is quite interesting.]
[…I don’t like this man. Can’t quite put my finger on why.]
[That’s because the host hasn’t seen his true face yet.]
[Not interested.]
Sally glanced at the metal mask on Welly’s face, which only exposed his mouth for drinking and nose for breathing, even his chin couldn’t be seen.
“Can I borrow your room to rest for a bit? I need to tidy up on my side.”
“Guest room.”
Welly had gone.
To Yu Yan, Sally asked, “Do you know where squad 0048 is?”
Yu Yan thought for a moment, shook his head, “Not sure, but I can go to the place where they sell information and check.”
Sally continued, “Thank you, especially about the females in their squad.”
If Shi Feifei was a hybrid of an Abyssal Beast and a member of the Beast Clan, then Frans, if he had recovered his memory, would definitely know Shi Feifei’s identity.
If he did not deal with Shi Feifei and simply reinforced the seal, then he had just foreseen the disaster of Katro City.
Yu Yan had gone out again.
But not long after his departure, Sally felt the ground beginning to shake.
Welly, emanating an aura of someone who hadn’t rested well, exited the room, his white shirt still spotted with not completely dried bloodstains.
Seeing Sally still in a daze, he immediately went over, embraced her, broke through the window, and after getting clear of the Hundred Beasts Tower’s teleportation ban, shouted, “Open!”
A virtual Teleportation Array suddenly appeared in the air.
Welly, holding her, entered the Teleportation Array and directly escaped.
“You have a Space Secret Technique!” Sally looked at Welly, somewhat surprised.
Only with a Space Secret Technique could one teleport virtually without the need for any magical instrument.
And yet, in the many days he had been with them, he had never revealed it.
Welly landed, standing in a dense and gloomy Beast Forest.
Sally didn’t recognize this place.
Welly put down Sally and instantly entered battle mode again, charging at an Abyssal Beast that was waiting to ambush.
Sally took out a gun from her space and hit the Abyssal Beast directly at its death spot.
Welly turned to look at her, or more precisely, at the gun in her hand.
Sally tossed it to him, “This works really well against Abyssal Beasts.”
After the Abyssal Beast was shot through its death spot, it dissolved into curse energy, leaving behind a Curse Stone.
Sally picked up the Curse Stone, “Ten thousand Gold Coins.”
Welly’s eyes lit up immediately, “This thing is worth that much?”
“Yes. Abyssal Beasts that have devoured members of the Beastmen not only grow stronger but also leave behind Curse Stones,” Sally said, looking at Welly, “Do you have a Crystal Core inside you?”
Welly: “…are you planning to kill the donkey before the mill has even ground anything?”
Sally laughed out loud, “In the next phase, there will be missions specifically for hunting Abyssal Beasts. They have magical instruments specially designed to detect curse energy. I’ve tried it before, and a Crystal Core can also trigger the instrument’s response.”
“Only those Demon Beasts that have eaten members of the Beast Clan have that stuff,” Welly answered.
“You don’t have one?”
“Hmm. I’m the son of the Demon Emperor, which doesn’t necessarily mean I am a Demon Beast. Like my fourth brother, his new son has no trace of the Demon Clan’s bloodline.”
That was also her son…
“Your mother is from the Human Clan, right?”
“Yes.”
“So, you’re a Human?”
“Human Demon,” Welly replied, “I just dissolved the demonic nature and abandoned the demonic system when I leveled up.”
[Host, he must have consumed some heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasurers and transformed the demonic nature in his body into that of the Human Clan’s Saint Rank at the time he broke through to the Holy Demon Rank. But his genetic nature cannot be changed; he is still a Human Demon. Moreover, this change is very unstable, and he should go into seclusion to practice. Forced into the Holy War and having fought continuously, killing numerous squads, his demonic nature is showing signs of resurgence. Once the demonic nature retakes control in his body, he will revert back to the Demon Clan.]
