Chapter 743: "Hundred Thousand Demons' Blood"
Chapter 743: “Hundred Thousand Demons’ Blood”
Ainsley was bewildered but in the end, she decided to listen to the rest of the reports first.
“Okay, continue. Anything else?”
“Yes, boss. We found many strange rocks, and these should be minerals with a space-disturbing element. We gathered the rocks…and also the soil…”
The soil was not hard, but the ground beneath the soil was as hard as diamond.
Strangely, rain could still seep into the hard ground and some trees could grow there.
“We have tried to dig the ground but we really don’t have the suitable tools. For the time being, we left them be.”
The team leader handed the rocks, and the soil sample to Ainsley and Ainsley immediately handed it back to Axelle.
Axelle was not only an alchemist but also a diligent researcher, especially concerning environment and nature.
He’s an elf, after all. He knew a lot about rocks, soils, plants, minerals, and so on. Of course, in terms of mining special minerals, rocks or ores, the dwarves were more skilful.
“Okay, thanks for the info. Next…the South side. How is it? Is there any danger?”
Ainsley looked at the South team leader, and the leader immediately gave her a report.
“There’s no apparent danger, but the dimensional holes’ appearances are truly chaotic.”
The leader gulped in fear as she continued.
“There can be a sudden dimensional hole above our head, underneath our feet, behind us, and many other places.”
If not for their constant vigilance, they might have casualties already.
“The monsters are mostly dinosaur type and low-level. As for other things…it is the same as what the North team reported, but we found something else…”
The team leader took out a bag of something and showed it to Ainsley.
“These are scattered gemstones. We can’t determine the gemstones’ value or effect, so we collect the gems and bring them back.”
Inside the leather bag were various colourful gemstones. The gems were still rough and looked like ragged rocks, but it strangely looked beautiful and shiny.
It was already beautiful even before processing.
Indeed, Ainsley also didn’t recognise the gemstones but Axelle, who was studying the golden and purple liquid from before, suddenly widened his eyes.
“T-these…these gemstones…”
Axelle’s Voice was trembling as if he saw something terrifying. The elf’s face turned so pale that others around him could immediately sense that something wasn’t right.
Ainsley pursed her lips and looked at Axelle with a grave face.
“What is it? Do you know this stone?”
At Ainsley’s question, Axelle took a deep breath and smothered Blaze’s feathers to calm his chaotic heart before nodding.
“M-master, these gemstones are called Hundred Thousand Demons’ Blood. These gemstones…are…condensed blood of various demonic races….”
Axelle bit his lips, and his pointed ears shook.
“E-each gemstone’s colour represents a different demonic race. B-but I am sure that these are Hundred Thousand Demons’ Blood.”
People might not recognise the weird gemstones in the first place, but anyone well-versed in the history of Godlif Country and The Abyss would instantly know about this gemstone name.
Ainsley, the Godfather, Zev, the five spirits, the five buds, Elliana, and the rest of the 50 elite people simultaneously sucked in the cold air.
“W-what? Hundred Thousand Demons’ Blood?! T-then doesn’t that mean– ”
Jevon covered his mouth, and his eyes widened until his eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out.
The others also shuddered from head to toe as they cursed the previous family who gave them this island.
“Fck! No wonder they readily give away an island as large as this one! Even if the island is dangerous and the treasures are hard to find, it’s still weird to trade it with only a potion bottle!”
Someone among the elites cursed out loud, and the others followed. All of them looked at Ainsley with eyes full of fear and wrath, but their anger wasn’t directed toward the baby.
They’re distressed for her, ah!
What does the Hundred Thousand Demons’ Blood appearance mean? It means that this place might be one of the entrances to the Abyss.
The Abyss is where all demons reside. The Abyss is rumoured to be close to the Beast Continent, where only wild beasts can live.
The monsters come out because of the Abyss corrupting the Beast Continent and sending out corrupted beasts, a.k.a monsters, through the dimensional hole.
But some monsters originated from the abyss, and most of them are dinosaur types.
Jevon’s baby monster was an abyss monster, and that’s why it was strong despite being a baby.
Now that the gemstones which were formed naturally by countless demonic races’ blood appeared on this island, plus a large number of dimensional holes and dinosaur-type monsters…
It means that this island is one heck of a hidden entrance to enter the Abyss continent!
The members immediately got cold feet.
“Boss, we should leave. Even if this island is only an entrance and not the exit and the demons won’t come out, this is still dangerous. What if we accidentally fall into the entrance, and– ”
Jevon paused. He couldn’t continue his words because he really couldn’t imagine what would happen if things came true.
What if they fell into the Abyss entrance and got directly transported to the Abyss?
The demons were the nemesis of all living beings due to their chaotic and destructive nature.
They’re bloodthirsty beings who only want to consume living beings’ life force and souls.
The reason why the demons couldn’t roam freely and destroy the world was all thanks to the sealed Abyss.
Various races’ leaders worked together to seal the abyss, not allowing any demons to come out.
However, the demons could still spread miasma to the places near them or through the dimensional holes.
Just like how it contaminated the island.
