Chapter 103: Chapter 102: On Demons (Part 2)_1

"At least it must be a demon spirit level to possess enough rationality to suppress its own instincts and hide among us in human form."

"High-level demonic creatures can naturally command lower-level ones."

"However, sometimes the coordination between different types of evil energy that create demonic creatures can be chaotic and not very accurate."

"In short, demonic creatures are extremely complex and mysterious, and what we know about them now is very limited. For example, why do some people after undergoing demonic transformation only become demon soldiers, while others become demon spirits or even higher levels?"

Owen Bertram nodded and asked again, "Has the Horizon Bureau investigated the motive of the demon creature wanting to enter Burning Hillock? The seven lords have been in the village for so long, surely they wouldn’t only care about collecting Dandelion Killers, would they?"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow shrugged casually as she ate, "You actually think they would do something else? It seems you don’t know enough about my Horizon Bureau."

Owen Bertram was speechless.

Even now, he felt uneasy: Why did the demon creature target Burning Hillock? If this mystery wasn’t solved, more demon creatures might come in the future.

...

The good luck of the Mechanical Dao Soldiers seemed to have run out, and they did not find any Dandelion Killers in the afternoon.

On the other hand, the military officers of the Horizon Bureau found a two-foot-long Dandelion Killer from a giant rock crevice by the Hunshui River in the afternoon!

The news caused a stir in the Horizon Bureau! The lucky military officer was rewarded with twenty pieces of Spirit Jade by Lord Gordon on the spot.

With the addition of this "super-large" Dandelion Killer, the seven Lords made a small profit.

"Rest well tonight, and start work as early as possible tomorrow! You’ve all seen that there are Dandelion Killers in this village, it’s just that you haven’t been diligent enough to find them!"

After Lord Gordon’s speech, the people of the Horizon Bureau left the village and rested in a cave outside the village.

That night, a strange bird with three huge claws ran through the village.

The huge bird was as tall as a small hill, and the wind from its flapping wings blew debris all over the village.

After it passed, a Mechanical Dao soldier happened to be near the closest small river to the village, where it slowly surfaced and saw a row of huge paw prints in the village.

One of the paw prints was not far from the area where 400 demon creatures had been incinerated.

This place had also been dug up by the military officers of the Horizon Bureau, leaving deep pits everywhere. One of the paw prints stepped on several large pits, and a Dandelion Killer embedded in the mud emitted a faint glow.

The Mechanical Dao soldier slowly walked over, picked it up, and returned to the river.

...

Owen Bertram did not take notice of the Mechanical Dao soldier; after being served popcorn tonight, his full-bellied sister went to sleep, and he threw his arms open, beginning a full-scale refining process.

All the materials had been prepared beforehand, but the progress was slowed down by the spiritual flame.

As he was about to work hard, his second brother began making a ruckus inside the Wooden Bottle.

Having gone out for fun last night, he was now addicted and refused to stay cooped up in the Wooden Bottle. However, Owen Bertram didn’t want to waste time sending him to the creek, so he cleverly took the Wooden Bottle to the backyard.

There was a well there, and he dropped Little Loach in, reminding him, "This well is for the Daoists to drink from, don’t you dare pee in it."

Afterwards, he suddenly felt melancholy. Speaking of peeing, it had been several days since he had given the Gourd Brothers any fertilizer; he missed them.

With a splash, Little Loach fell into the well and swam around happily for a while before realizing how small it was.

It complained to its older brother, "I want to swim freely, not take a bath!"

But the older brother had already left.

With nothing to stop Owen Bertram from making artifacts, he worked tirelessly through the night, and by daybreak, the incomplete version of the Five-toothed Battleship was finally completed! After adding the Dandelion Killer, the power of this large-scale magical instrument was 30% greater than in the Refining Diagram Records!

Owen Bertram opened his palm, and the newly refined Five-toothed Battleship, reduced to just one foot in length, still looked imposing! If it were placed in the river, it would instantly transform into a massive battleship thirty feet long!

Well, it was similar in length to Little Loach right now, but the Five-toothed Battleship was much more massive.

This was not the complete version of the Five-toothed Battleship from the past. The real Five-toothed Battleship with its five types of transformations was a hundred feet long and appeared as a gargantuan object in any river.

Owen Bertram lifted his other hand and released the Flying Sword. With a thought, the two treasures on either side quickly merged into one with a swishing sound.

It was like putting on a layer of heavy armor for the Flying Sword!

It was fully covered, with faint golden lines of varying lengths on the surface. Some were connected with each other and some ran parallel and independently. Inside were various gears, levers, and mechanisms working together, reminiscent of Owen Bertram’s punk style from his previous life.

Owen Bertram sensed that if fully unleashed, the Five-toothed Flying Sword should be a hundred feet long! With one strike, an ordinary city wall would be cut open like tofu.

Of course, city walls reinforced with arrays were another matter.

But Owen Bertram could also feel that if fully unleashed, this massive magical instrument would completely drain his internal spiritual energy with just one strike.

In other words, it had only one strike’s worth of power.

However, reducing its size to ten or twenty feet would still greatly increase its attack power and could be maintained for a long time.

"Had I refined this magical instrument before the battle, the demon creature would not have been worth mentioning," Owen Bertram said regretfully. However, even if he could defeat the demon creature’s main body with the Five-toothed Flying Sword, he would still need his brother’s Fire Pill to completely destroy it.

There would be no need to use a Fire Pill then.

...

Little Loach was not happy; who were they trying to fool with such a small water hole?

It darted up and down the well for a while before getting bored. Just as it was about to jump out and crawl over to its older brother for a nap, its nose suddenly twitched, and its eyes stared suspiciously at the bottom of the well.

As the water rippled, Little Loach silently dove down.

The bottom of the well was very clean, with only half of a rotten wooden bucket. It searched the well floor and found a crack in the rock with its constantly moving nose. Then, it shrank its body a bit and slipped in with a swish.

The middle section was filled with mud and sand, which Little Loach enthusiastically wriggled through. The process was not very comfortable, with the mud and sand chafing its body, making it itch.

After this section, there was an underground river.

Little Loach swam upstream following the scent and eventually reached a cave, where it leaped onto the shore. Raising its upper body like a snake, it saw the pearls with bright eyes and immediately opened its mouth in delight.

In the dark cave, there were faint white glowing pearls arranged in a pattern like stars on the ceiling.

These were the same kind of pearls that the villagers had to pay in taxes.

However, each one was the size of a human head! If the villagers saw them, they would likely go crazy, risking their lives just to knock one down.

A pattern resembling a heterotext or an array was projected on a flat rock slab by the shore, illuminated by some clever technique.

It appeared to be an array as well.
