Chapter 414: Chapter 342: Stone Statue Demon_1

"Test out the ghosts?" Owen Bertram released Lord, a Tier-5 Great Ghost that was no longer afraid of sunlight as long as it wasn’t exposed to direct sunlight. Borrowing the shade of the trees, it approached the area.

However, as soon as it stepped in, Lord’s short body began to expand rapidly, and many extra parts "grew" out of its body!

"It’s a spiritual entity!" Owen Bertram uttered in surprise, quickly drawing Lord back.

Rubbing his chin, he mumbled to himself: "I underestimated this Stone Statue Demon."

Owen Bertram realized that he had been prejudiced in thinking that Dandelion was already very bizarre, being one of the most powerful among the Demon Beings, and stronger than the Stone Statue Demon. However, now it seems he was wrong.

"This Stone Statue Demon is even more bizarre than Dandelion. No wonder Dandelion took the initiative to send messengers and sought to collaborate with the Stone Statue Demon - probably looking for help."

Owen Bertram pondered for a moment, and waved down Spiritual Flames. He selected some Treasure Materials from his Storage Brocade Pouch and quickly crafted a mechanical dragonfly-like weapon while thinking.

With a gentle push of his hands, the mechanical weapon fluttered its "wings" like a dragonfly and flew up at high speed. The dragonfly’s head had a Mechanical Eye, similar to a Divine Heavenly Soldier’s eyes.

Launching this thing into the area, Owen Bertram thought, an inanimate dead object wouldn’t be affected, right?

The Mechanical Eye captured everything and transmitted all the images back to Owen Bertram, as if his own eyes were watching everything in this eerie area.

After flying for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the mechanical weapon seemed unaffected as a dead thing. Owen Bertram secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began controlling the Mechanical Dragonfly to delve deeper. The direction to the Cold Abyss was easy to distinguish; in this area, the closer one gets to the Cold Abyss, the more severe the distortions and mutations of the living beings.

Owen Bertram also observed the patterns of mutation in the creatures along the way. Those that had already transformed into pitch-black beings full of bumpy growths and resembled ghosts were all covered in strange tumors. Although they appeared to be calm, they were actually in constant conflict. Some would release purple-black lightning bolts at a distance but due to the charging time, this kind of battle did not seem frequent.

In reality, however, the ground constantly writhed with movement as these beings used their roots to tangle and swallow each other. On the surface, one could often see branches quietly stabbing into the trunk of another creature...

A bug flew past Owen Bertram, and he couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted. With a snap of his fingers, he directed a burst of spiritual energy at the flying insect, and it exploded into pieces with a "pop."

Owen Bertram did not care and continued to observe through the Mechanical Dragonfly.

However, Owen Bertram’s face changed suddenly, and a strong sense of alertness rose in his heart: "Why am I becoming a bit irritable? Do I unconsciously feel faint disgust towards everything around me?"

"The Demon Being has influenced my mind through the connection between me and the Mechanical Dragonfly!" Owen Bertram thought, the Mechanical Dragonfly broke apart, and the connection between them was severed.

He did not dare to delay, sitting cross-legged immediately to check his own condition, gradually calming his mind. The feelings of disgust towards everything around him finally faded slowly.

"Fortunately, the influence only penetrated through the connection between me and the mechanical weapon. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easily eliminated."

Owen Bertram gave a bitter smile: "I have been underestimating the Extinction Domain lately."

It wasn’t that Owen Bertram was arrogant, but rather, it was a matter of habit. He had been very successful in the Extinction Domain lately, and the dangers Owen Bertram faced in the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain had never come from Demon Beings since the last Spiritual Treasure Embryo incident.

A few days ago, he had used a Large-scale Magical Instrument to annihilate Dandelion. Although the process could not be called "easy," everything was in Owen’s plan.

With a series of events piling up, his vigilance towards Demon Beings inevitably slackened.

"This wakeup call from the Stone Statue Demon is timely."

After reflecting on himself, Owen Bertram still needed to face the problem at hand: whether to fight the Stone Statue Demon to the death or not? In fact, he could wait for the complete digestion of Dandelion by Lord, and it didn’t seem necessary to take the risk.

However, after failing three times in a row, Owen’s competitive spirit was aroused. If it was "retreating from difficulties" that prevented him from doing so, Owen’s thoughts were still stubborn. Although the Stone Statue Demon was formidable, it wasn’t enough to make Owen Bertram retreat from difficulty.

"Maybe I can try this..."

Owen Bertram’s figure disappeared on the spot, and moments later, he returned, leading a string of six Demon Beings tied with the Immortal Binding Rope.

They were all low-level, only Tier-3. It wasn’t easy to find such low-level Demon Beings in this position. Owen Bertram had spent most of his time searching for them.

Owen Bertram snapped his fingers, and six Spirit Seeds flew out, landing in the bodies of the six Demon Beings.

After the increase in strength, the number of Spirit Seeds he could control simultaneously also increased.

Tier-3 Demon Beings were not ordinary beasts or insects. They resisted greatly. Owen Bertram’s low-tier Spirit Seed Puppetry Skill made it difficult to control them quickly. Owen knocked them all out with a punch, allowing the puppet Spirit Seeds to successfully take root in the Demon Beings and gain control.

Through the Spirit Seeds, Owen Bertram observed the structure of the Demon Beings’ bodies, which were completely different from ordinary living creatures. Even the structures of the Demon Beings themselves were very different from each other, with almost no discernible "pattern" to speak of.
