Chapter 412: Chapter 341: The Human Form of the Dandelion_3

What’s the use of having subordinates like you if the superior officer has to do everything himself?

Our superior treats us well, and we all benefit from each mission; we feel so ashamed... The military officers secretly resolved that when they returned home, they would diligently cultivate, and definitely start practicing divine skills like Earth Escape!

The Mesmerizing Demon roamed deep in the earth, spreading out its blood threads, sensing a wider range. After about a shichen (2 hours), it inspected the entire area of the valley ten meters underground. There were indeed several dandelion arrangements that had been completely destroyed, with most of the results from large-scale magical instrument bombardments.

These setups functioned as a sort of "laboratory" for testing different Demon Beasts of various stages - from beast eggs to mature individuals - on how to enhance puppet control.

There was also an attempt by dandelion to devour other demon beings, in order to acquire their divine powers.

These discoveries were not that significant, so Owen Bertram instructed the Mesmerizing Demon to go even deeper, this time directly entering a range of 100 meters underground. The search was much slower, but just before dawn, the Mesmerizing Demon finally made a discovery.

This was a well-hidden "Beard Cocoon," composed entirely of dandelion roots, spanning about 15 meters in size. Despite being severed by the dandelion, these roots still possessed some vitality and instinctively displayed their defenses. It was quite a hassle for the Mesmerizing Demon to destroy the energy of these roots completely. Then, it used its blood threads to grab the withered roots and pull them apart, revealing a large pitch-black hole. The red light flickered in the demon’s eyes, allowing it to see everything in the darkness.

Owen Bertram’s face turned pale on the ground: "Absolutely insane!"

Inside the Beard Cocoon, there were three "water bubbles," connected to seven or eight thick roots hanging in mid-air, which seemed to be continuously transferring something.

The surface of the Beard Cocoon was a layer of thin bark-like material, faintly revealing a curled-up "human" figure inside. However, this figure had clear marks of being pieced together from different human bodies!

Owen Bertram could even tell that many parts, such as the internal organs, were "sourced" from very young human bodies or even infants!

To complete these three figures, it must have taken at least two hundred human bodies. Moreover, the dandelion must have harmed more than just two hundred people; it definitely also picked and chose among the "materials" from the same parts. To create these three bodies, at least a thousand humans were dismembered!

"These must be the fellow tribesmen hunted by the dandelion’s minions!" Owen Bertram gritted his teeth: "We must find and expose this scum, and execute them by dismemberment (Lingchi)!"

Angry as he was, Owen Bertram did not lose his rationality. There were three human bodies here: the dandelion used one, and another was probably promised to the Stone Statue Demon, but what was the purpose of the remaining one?

"Could it be that the dandelion has also wooed a third demon being?"

Before leaving, the dandelion was likely trying to destroy these three bodies, but it couldn’t bear to do it in the end. It held a deep obsession towards the human body and must have invested a lot of effort into possessing them.

Owen Bertram instructed the Mesmerizing Demon to release countless blood threads, cutting down the three Beard Cocoons before burying them in a suitable location.

"Alas–" Owen Bertram sighed, mourning the innocent souls who had died tragically.

After daybreak, Owen Bertram ordered David: "You lead the team and return to the Looking Cloud Cliff."

It would take a few days for the second-in-command to digest the dandelion, and there were no clues for further investigation here. Owen Bertram decided to take a look at the Stone Statue Demon.

While parting, David pounded his armored chest with his fist and promised Owen Bertram, "After we return, I will make sure to train them hard and quickly improve their capabilities."

Owen Bertram nodded slightly and then drifted into the depths of the Extinction Domain.

David quickly returned to the Prescott Group at Looking Cloud Cliff. Outside the Prescott Group, Nathan Lane came out to greet him and quietly asked, "What does the superior mean? Matt Cooper, the branch storekeeper of Topeka Hall in Black-water County, has already arrived. You know about the powerful forces behind Topeka Hall. If there is no evidence, I’m afraid it may be difficult to handle."

As he was speaking, a well-dressed middle-aged man approached from the nearby market and loudly said, "What does Owen Bertram mean by this? Self-inspection? We from Topeka Hall have always been fair and aboveboard. Just because we believe in harmony and making a profit together, it doesn’t mean we are an easy target. He’d better explain his actions to Topeka Hall!"

David sneered coldly and said, "Just wait obediently, Topeka Hall is in big trouble!"

Then, David waved his hand heavily and left, but he didn’t scare Matt Cooper, who just smirked and said, "Alright, let’s wait and see if the arrogant Summit Metropolitan Office can do anything to us at Topeka Hall!"

...

Following the route in Adolph Benson’s memory, Owen Bertram traveled through the Extinction Domain, heading straight to the Cold Abyss where the Stone Statue Demon resided.

About 300 miles away from Owen Bertram, on the steep cliffs on both sides of the raging river, several Hanging Coffin tomb chambers were also carved out.

Here, about 100 miles away from the "Hanging Coffins of the Raging River" position in people’s cognition, the number of Hanging Coffins is extremely small, and almost no human cultivators venture here, making the place seem very secretive and desolate.
