Chapter 257: Chapter 255 Mutual Calculation_1

Owen Bertram stomped his foot in complaint, "Your Fire Pill is so powerful! You use the Spiritual Flame so recklessly and yet there’s hardly any reduction in its usage. Look at my Gourd Responding Items. I have to conserve at every use, and if I’m not careful, the Spiritual Flame will be used up!"

"Little Brother, how many benefits have you privately swallowed? Can’t you share a bit more with your elder brother?"

"Do you have any idea how hard your elder brother, me, has struggled to provide for the family? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!"

Facing his elder brother’s heartfelt accusation, the younger brother, of course, felt no guilt and turned a deaf ear.

You see, elder brother, eels have no ears.

The younger brother confidently burrowed into the hole and began his "Underground Food Journey," consuming everything in his way. Once he reached the final cavern, he first cleared up the ordinary Element-devouring Bee popcorn, also devouring the beehive as a side dish—saving the best for last.

Then, he dined on the Bee Queen and, finally, tasted the soft and tender bee pupae!

Delicious!

Delicious!

Delicious!

So satisfying...

With a full belly, the younger brother rolled over in the cavern. His massive body spread out, belly-up, and he had no desire to move an inch.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, he deserved a comfortable nap. What’s this nonsense about walking a hundred steps after a meal? Wouldn’t that just insult the food?

Owen Bertram followed him inside, wanting to see what treasure within this cave could captivate an entire swarm of Element-devouring Bees.

Three swarms of Element-devouring Bees had been brought by the Demon Clan, and he had already dealt with two of them.

Although the cave had been roasted by Little Loach’s Fire Pill, the temperature inside the cave had quickly dropped by the time Owen Bertram entered. He even felt a hint of coldness.

The cave was vast, but the younger brother’s body was enormous, taking up much of the space. Owen Bertram had to fly, avoiding him and reaching the original location of the beehive.

Owen Bertram carefully observed the inside of the cave. Everything from the ground to the cave’s ceiling was covered with a thin white substance which was completely fused with the stone.

It appeared similar to the dark red crystals on the walls of the Lava Lake.

There were traces of Element-devouring Bees nibbling all over the place, seeming to suggest that what they had collected was this white substance.

Owen Bertram pried off a piece with the Flying Sword. The Gourd Responding Items sprayed out the Spiritual Flame, melting and finally understanding this treasure: "Frost Sand Crystal."

By this point, even if Owen Bertram was emotionally unwilling to admit it, he was almost 80% certain that Casterly County was indeed the site of the Dragon Palace battle, the place where the human hero Marco fell.

Frost Sand Crystal isn’t a rare treasure material; it can form in many places. However, Frost Sand Crystals commonly found are of Tier-2, while the ones in this cave are of Tier-4!

The condition for the formation of high-quality Frost Sand Crystal is: a powerful being’s fall, leaving behind resentment, which is purified naturally over hundreds of years and sedimented into pure and clean coldness.

This kind of coldness coagulates and does not disperse, and even intense fire couldn’t burn it out.Owen Bertram pierced through with his Flying Sword, finding the deposit of Frost Sand Crystal to be extremely dense here. As it turns out, it was the first valuable mine yet discovered in Casterly County.

He brought Brother into the Gourd and marked this location. Once reported to the Horizon Bureau for mining, he would certainly reap his share of benefits.

Coming out of the hole, Owen Bertram casually released a Talisman, sealing the entrance.

Magpie had received the Master’s order and descended from the skies. Owen rode it again, but lost interest in Cosplay. He sat cross-legged on the back of the Magpie, contemplating. At Summit Cave, Elmer Mountain, and Lansing Highlands, remnants that could possibly belong to the Marco Clan were discovered.

Where did this hero of the Human Race actually fall?

However, there was one Devouring Element Bee Swarm let loose by the Demon Clan which hadn’t been located yet. If it happened to be at that place...

Owen Bertram sighed inwardly: I hope my continuous provocations before this can draw the Demon Clan out.

Ordinarily, since he controls the Black Soul Jar, the Demon Clan would not directly follow the Devouring Element Bees to find the Marco Clan’s remains without first obtaining it. But Owen was still worried about unexpected events. He abhorred the idea of the remains of the human hero and the Sky-piercing Spear falling into the hands of the Demon Clan. Therefore, he kept testing and provoking the Demon Clan in the dark, trying to lure them out so he could defeat them all at once.

He was just worried the Demon Clan wouldn’t fall for it.

Before he could deal with the Sixth Great Realm sent by King IIias, Owen couldn’t dig up these "possible" locations at will. If he really found the remains of the Marco Clan, the Sixth Great Realm might attack him while he was off guard. The only Paper-cut in his possession could only strike once and was not absolutely secure.

So it’s best to draw out all the enemies, solve them all, before doing anything else.

All of a sudden, Little Ghost Gregory Ryan, popped out from Magpie’s feathered neck. With a hint of sycophancy on his face, he said, "Master, I’ve fully absorbed Fuller Gavin’s Demon Soul. Do you have any questions?"

Owen Bertram was pleasantly surprised, "Who are coming from the Demon Clan? What are their strengths, and what are their weaknesses?"

Gregory Ryan grinned, "Master, you’re asking the right guy. That Fuller Gavin has a shadowy personality. He lurks in the shadows on regular days and spies on everyone. He has a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the others in the Demon Clan. Let me explain it to you."

Owen muttered to himself, does Fuller Gavin have a peeping habit? It does seem like something he would do.

As Gregory Ryan listed them out one by one, Owen listened carefully, formulating his battle strategy against every individual of the Demon Clan according to his own unique abilities.

Gregory Ryan also talked about everything else, including the momentum of the Nine Witch Demon Court, other covert actions by the Demon Clan infiltrating the Wood Dynasty, etc.

After listening to it, Owen felt quite sympathetic to Lord IIias.

He wanted to form an alliance with the Demon Clan, mobilize the army to claim the throne from the south. The Demon Clan had their own plans. The leading Master Jacob also brought a secret treasure of the Demon Clan that could corrupt the remains of the Marco Clan. Normally, it wouldn’t cause any damage, but once it is activated from the Demon Clan’s side, it would suddenly take effect.

The advantages IIias would gain from the Marco Clan’s remains would vanish in an instant.

Moreover, the Demon Clan had also designed a corresponding strategy for IIias’s throne-clenching plan. Once IIias heads south, the entire Northwest of Wood Dynasty would be in "peace".

Even the Demon Clan would provide sufficient support to IIias according to their agreement.

When IIias is no longer wary, his army is besieging the capital, and both sides are worn out after battling with other army forces loyal to the king, the Demon Clan would suddenly send troops and completely defeat the Wood Dynasty!

Owen Bertram cursed King IIias and the Mountain Master who brought disaster to the country and people. He became more pessimistic about Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane’s grand plans, deciding to keep a few more tricks up his sleeve. In case of a catastrophe, at least he could ensure his own safety.
