Chapter 679: Chapter 504 Please Look with the Same Eyes_1

Among the demigods, some are easygoing and can drink with mercenaries, discuss magic with ordinary mages, and even be friends with normal people. However, this is just a part of them. Just like with humans, in a large forest, there are all kinds of birds. There are many amiable demigods, but even more are so arrogant that they think nothing of others.

Therefore, to have these demigods come to Landen voluntarily...

"What kind of person is behind all this? Haven’t these demigods thought about eliminating the threat?"

"Is there a possibility that these demigods are unable to defeat it?"

"Could it be that some True God got bored and started picking on demigods?"

"Wouldn’t that lead to a war between gods?"

The mages’ love for gossip was strong; they speculated all kinds of possibilities while the distant caravan gradually arrived in Landen, smoothly passing through the city gates. Indeed, among the caravan was a demigod.

In a swamp, Zheng Yichen stood atop a dead tree two meters in diameter. It was difficult to find footing here. The nearby swamp was a murky, dark purple, with brittle bones floating on the surface. The presence of intact skeletons indicated that their previous owners had been strong in life.

The less powerful had completely dissolved into the swamp.

The swamp’s master was a half-human, half-spider creature. Zheng Yichen regretted not gaining the ability to produce webs after killing it, or else he could have emulated Spider-Man. The feedback he got was an enhancement to his foundations, as well as an increase in his native poison resistance.

When he first touched the swamp, the poison resistance wasn’t effective, and he felt pain. Now, the immersion felt like soaking in hot water. As his poison resistance grew stronger, he gained an absorbent effect that could restore his strength and energy, albeit at a low rate, but that was still quite good.

"So there are demigods that don’t look human, huh?"

"When you question the XP of the Dragon Tribe, view those demigods and True Gods with the same scrutiny," the fire dragon clicked its tongue and spoke to Zheng Yichen. Some matters of the Dragon Tribe were not easy for it to explain, mainly because they couldn’t be refuted. After speaking, it glanced at the collapsing massive spider corpse not far away.

This demigod was the troublesome sort. Its territory was a swamp that seemed to be far from any city, but in reality, this demigod was also a ferocious one. The swamp was mobile, and before Zheng Yichen killed it, the swamp was disguised as a town.

That was the ’spider web’ woven by the demigod spider. Its disguise was excellent. People who entered would be affected by the poison and then live their lives here, thinking everything was normal, until the demigod spider decided it had accumulated enough provisions and would start a gluttonous feast.

In despair, all the people within the disguised town would be both spawned upon and devoured by the demigod spider. As for why this creature hadn’t been killed, its deeds didn’t happen frequently. First, this demigod spider would find a suitable location to settle down and spend years or even decades weaving everything together.

The disguise before exposure was incredibly convincing.

Now this demigod spider had just completed such a feast—specifically, two months prior. The Dragon Tribe paid attention to it because the biggest ’meal’ in this recent feast was a dragon.

A just-fed demigod spider was very dangerous. At that time, it had a large number of offspring, all with a trace of divinity. With their overwhelming numbers, even a demigod who came here could possibly be overturned. However, those offspring would ultimately become the demigod spider’s own food.

The demigod spider would thereby quickly boost its own power.

Initially, this wasn’t the best choice, but in the past two weeks, Zheng Yichen had dealt with eight demigods, from the weak to the strong. Those demigods were not fools; many had already fled to Landen. This demigod spider became the best choice instead.

During its digestion, it barely paid attention to the outside world.

The targeted demigod spider became the new victim. As for the little spiders here, Zheng Yichen simply unleashed a ’Chaos Rain’, with copious Hellfire falling from the sky. Watching those Stone People burning with Hellfire, the fire dragon finally understood what Zheng Yichen’s seemingly capricious request had been all about.

Little spiders battling Hellfire—the outcome was those that fed on Hellfire were themselves burnt to death by it. The territory of the demigod spider no longer had the advantage in a group fight.

The ultimate cause of the demigod spider’s death was frostbite!

After Zheng Yichen dealt with Demigod Glys, he hadn’t gained any new powers, but his ability to manipulate ice elements received an extra boost, along with a penetrating chill effect. When the demigod spider got enraged by Zheng Yichen’s sneak attack, Zheng Yichen immediately had the ashes silhouette bestow upon her a Flames of Rage BUFF.

This thing could serve as a buff or a negative effect, depending on whether one can withstand the ignited Flames of Rage, if one can resist it, it amounts to an enhancement of greatly reduced spiritual resistance and significantly increased battle strength.

Zheng Yichen wasn’t afraid of the demigod spider’s greatly increased battle strength. The demigod spider’s life force and resistance could withstand the Flames of Rage, but its rationality decreased, and once Zheng Yichen’s Asura Battle Intent provoked its will to fight, those demigod skills akin to crying for daddy became useless.

When dealing with those demigods, Zheng Yichen often employed this method against the ones he couldn’t kill quickly. To him, a demigod’s cry for mercy skill was similar to some health-locking and health points regeneration skill triggered when they were critically wounded—it wouldn’t activate unless the opponent was greatly injured.

Demigods too have their pride and care for face.

He took advantage of this, and Zheng Yichen’s kill-threshold was very high. Before reaching that trigger point, he could complete the kill.

However, facing many demigods was still somewhat troublesome. Some demigods possessed a special power that would activate upon their death, providing them with unique protection or allowing for a transfer.

For those who were protected, Zheng Yichen would use an even stronger attack to break through. As for those who transferred, he had encountered that twice. Once he intercepted it, and the other time, he only managed to sever a portion of the demigod’s soul.

There was no helping it. In this world, beings like True Gods existed. As for offending a True God... The demigods he dealt with were all disadvantageous to the human race’s position. He would only offend True Gods by dealing with those demigods, yet he did so with a clear conscience and without fear.

If a True God who posed a significant threat to the human race’s stance came for him, he would fight!

This demigod spider didn’t have any special protections, and after being provoked by Zheng Yichen’s sequence of attacks, it wanted to swallow him whole. During the fight, the demigod spider was penetrated by the cold from Zheng Yichen’s attacks. Deadly chill quietly accumulated within its body.

Eventually, with the freezing of the ice crystal and Zheng Yichen detonating the accumulated cold, the demigod spider turned into a block of ice on the spot. However, this demigod’s strength and Klakauska’s description matched; it was indeed formidable, with a tenacious life force.

After being frozen, it still didn’t die immediately. The demigod spider concentrated its life force into one spider egg, a clever feigned death, but Zheng Yichen’s keen eyes weren’t deceived.

Unlike those humanoid demigods, it wasn’t easy to record the Divine Runes on their bodies after killing them. The demigod spider’s Divine Runes were spread across its body. Lilith scanned and recorded them, but discerning them clearly would require further analysis.

It wasn’t like with other demigods, where a simple scan would record everything.

The demigod spider had definitively died, but the marshlands would not return to normal, simply without the Demigod spider’s manipulation; the marsh would no longer be mobile. After the demigod spider perished, its dissipating power, unlike other demigods, merged with the marsh, potentially forming a new ecosystem in the future.

This could become a new dangerous area for adventurers or mercenaries to explore in this world of magic.

Klakauska hesitated for a moment before saying to Zheng Yichen, "Let’s rest for a day and go after my enemy, okay? Then I’ll prepare to steal the dragon egg for you. I’m a little worried that the demigod has chickened out and run off to Landen City."

"Half a day is enough, I’ve been waiting for this moment," said Zheng Yichen with a smile. After defeating the demigod and absorbing its blood, besides the feedback and healing expenditures it provided, he retained the parts rich in life force.

These life sources were stored in a way that exceeded the normal upper limit of the Essence of Life. The Essence of Life was like a high-capacity battery; though it would still slowly lose the extra charge over time, the rate was slow. He now estimated conservatively that he could engage with some of the True Gods in this world without issues.

After all, the extra life sources were specifically reserved for dire situations. His own foundation was already strong, and the power he could transform through Blood Combustion Transform to Origin by burning life force would only be more formidable.

"Then let’s go," said Klakauska impatiently. Zheng Yichen had always been the one to take action. Klakauska had never shown off his identity, and using Transformation technique to assume a human form was his first time doing so in his native world. He had never revealed his real name to anyone.

Consequently, his enemy may not even connect him to his dragon identity. Even his demigod enemy probably had forgotten about him, as powerful as dragons were, they still had a considerable gap in comparison with demigods. Just one of the demigods that Zheng Yichen had dealt with could pin Klakauska down and beat him...

Therefore, that demigod might not remember him, but what if? A Fire Dragon was accompanying the ’Godslayer,’ even if it’s a Fire Dragon transformed into humanoid form... What if that sparks an association for the enemy?

This thought alone made Klakauska uncomfortable. Landen City was the City of Peace, backed by a True God. If that demigod really ran off to Landen City, he couldn’t have Zheng Yichen directly confront the problem there, could he?

To take action there would turn a just case into an unjust one. Excessively so, and it might even draw targeted retaliation from a True God. The gap between a demigod and him was already vast, let alone if a True God stepped in. The Dragon Tribe would then maintain complete silence, as they would have no just stand in the matter.

Klakauska could only hope that the arrogant demigod... wouldn’t chicken out!
