Chapter 886: Chapter 430: The Finishing Touch on the Dragon_2

As soon as the eyeball appeared, the brownish-yellow vertical pupil within it immediately opened and surveyed its surroundings.

After taking in the environment of the pet store, the pupil finally turned back to Mu You.

And with the pupil’s gaze upon him, Mu You suddenly felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire, beginning to solidify and stiffen gradually.

He took a photo with his cell phone then quickly covered the eyeball with cloth again, and his body returned to normal.

"How about this?" Mu You sent the photo to Lin Xue, asking this animal expert for her analysis.

"No mistake, this kind of fine, needle-like pupil structure is typically found in eyes of snakes or lizards..." Lin Xue replied.

"Snakes or lizards, huh..."

Mu You pondered for a moment, in the desert both of these creatures were quite common.

And this thing appearing in the hands of those three inferior bishops was likely an offering from a follower.

With this thought, Mu You summoned all the followers back in the game.

[You have summoned all members of the Caesar’s Divine Sect and took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, asking the crowd about its origin.]

["Uh, this thing... was donated by me..." The bald sand bandit standing next to you looked at you uneasily, "Lord Bishop, is there a problem?"]

So it was him!

It immediately made sense to Mu You. No wonder this man had stood out among the ranks within the sect; clearly, the bishops had recognized the extraordinary value of this item and awarded him a high level of contribution.

["No problem, this item is crucial for our next step in rescuing Emperor Caesar. I need to know where you found it," you as you interrogate the bald sand bandit.]

[Overjoyed, the bald sand bandit hurriedly said, "This eyeball, I stole it from a group of sand bandits I was part of once."]

["Of course, that group of bandits was just a temporary refuge after I entered the Crimson Desert. They only totaled just over a hundred people. I stayed there only a month before I heard about Caesar’s Divine Sect and came over immediately!" the bald sand bandit quickly explained.]

Mu You didn’t care what his relationship with the prior bandits was, having confirmed his lead, he immediately had the bald man take the lead and led the cult members toward the bandits’ den to continue the search.

[...The Desert Landship stopped in front of a desert canyon. The entrance of the canyon was blocked with layer upon layer of thorns set up by people, rendering it impassable.]

["Lord Bishop, this is the lair of the Black Snake Bandits!" the bald sand bandit turned to you and asked, "Do you want your subordinate to go in and negotiate with them?"]

A hundred odd bandits and he’s talking about negotiations? If he couldn’t beat an army of hundred thousand, could he not handle a band of bandits?

[You shook your head and ordered an all-out attack. This is the first official action of Caesar’s Divine Sect in rescuing Emperor Caesar!]

["For Emperor Caesar!" Under your incitement, a host of followers shouted the church’s rallying cry like they were on fire, and wielding weapons, they charged into the canyon.]

[Soon, the clanging of metal and screams echoed through the canyon.]

[...After a while, the noise in the canyon gradually subsided, and a follower came to report: You have successfully overtaken the enemy’s stronghold!]

[You followed the follower into the canyon and eventually into a large cave.]

[At this point, the remaining bandits had been captured by your followers, tied up, and kneeling on the ground, waiting for your judgment.]

[You took out the Eye of the Divine Beast again and asked the captured bandits about its origin.]

["My treasure!" As soon as you took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, a kneeling bandit suddenly glared at you with red eyes and yelled out.]

["Behave, this is our Lord Bishop!" The bald man kicked the bandit to the ground, his kick carrying a bit of a personal grudge in its force.]

[According to the bald bandit, this man was the leader of the bandits, ’Black Snake,’ and the Eye of the Divine Beast was exactly what he had stolen from him.]

[Black Snake glared hatefully at you, this group of evil marauders, but since his life was in your hands, he dared not resist and could only obediently answer your questions.]

Having found the true owner, Mu You didn’t bother with any soft strategies and directly made him take a truth serum, forcing a rigorous questioning.

Unfortunately, the bandit could not articulate much more about it, according to him, he had found the item long ago while gold panning in this valley, and there was nothing else around but this eyeball.

Afterward, leveraging the miraculous abilities of this eyeball, he rallied a group of followers and thus became the leader of the bandits. It was because it resembled a snake’s eye that he named himself ’Black Snake,’ and settled in this very valley where he found the eyeball.

Mu You felt somewhat disappointed after the interrogation; it was just something picked up from the ground after all...

However, since it was found in this valley, there might be something peculiar about the valley itself.

Thinking this, Mu You immediately commanded the other followers to start searching the valley thoroughly.

[The followers spread out through the valley at once, fervently digging through the sand in search of treasure.]

[Searching for treasures...]

What followed was a quite lengthy search. After a whole three hours, Mu You had yet to receive any report of a found treasure.

Mu You shook his head resignedly; it was a pity this place was in the land of eternal daylight, otherwise using the ’Pumpkin Lantern’ with ’Lucky Dust’ would definitely accelerate the discovery of clues.
