1094 The Saint

Fang Heng asked, “Who is he? What did he say?”

“He…” Argyll came back to his senses and gulped. “He claims to be the guardian elder of the underground cave-dwelling clan, Evil Bones. He has been guarding the sealed land for thousands of years.”

Argyll felt that the amount of information was too much for him to digest. He looked at Fang Heng and continued, “He’s here to guard the demons.”

“Continue. Explain clearly, what exactly are the demons?”

Argyll tried to organize his thoughts and explain to Fang Heng from the beginning.

“A long time ago, we found a demonic seed with great power. At that time, the patriarch of the cave-dwelling beasts and the humans made an agreement to store one of the boxes that sealed the demonic seed in the underground world.”

“An accidental crisis led to the spread of demonic seed in the underground world, and some of the cave-dwelling beasts were controlled by the demonic seed. Evil Bones was one of them.”

“However, Evil Bones managed to resist the demonic seed’s corrosion with his strong willpower. The remaining group of cave-dwelling beasts that were controlled by the demonic seed went crazy. After they obtained the demonic seed and possessed great power, they began to frantically devour their own kind. They were completely uncontrollable.”

“The most terrible thing was that the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts can’t kill the monsters no matter how hard he tried. Only the Holy crystal can cause short-term damage to them.”

“With the help of the humans, the cave-dwelling beasts survived the crisis and built this underground palace. All the evil demons controlled by the demonic seed were sealed into alchemy lifeforms to protect the underground world, forever guarding the sealed area.”

Fang Heng frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice, “Demonic seed…”

“Evil Bones isn’t completely immune to the demonic seed’s corrosion. Most of the time, he’s in a chaotic state. He only remembers to guard this underground sealed area. Only a few times can he regain his sanity.”

“The Holy crystal made him feel extreme pain, but it also suppressed the demonic seed in his body, so he regained his consciousness.”

Argyll looked carefully at Evil Bones, the elder of the cave-dwelling beasts, who was trapped on the wall. He then turned back to Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, there’s one more important thing. I think I translated it correctly.”

“What?”

“Evil Bones told me that Tang Mingyue is a demon,” Argyll said, word by word.

Fang Heng’s pupils shrank as he turned his head and stared at Evil Bones.

“When did that happen?”

Argyll turned his head again to communicate with the elder.

The elder was nailed to the wall, his mouth making a gurgling sound.

“It’s been a long time since he’s seen a newborn demon. The demonic seed in Tang Mingyue’s body is still in incubation and will erupt soon.”

“Where’s the evidence?”

“There’s a demonic seed in Evil Bones too, so I can’t be wrong. If I have to prove it, the most obvious change in humans after being corroded by the demonic seed is that there will be red wriggling blood vessels in its eyes.”

Blood vessels?

Fang Heng pondered with rapt attention.

Indeed, when he thought about it carefully, he remembered that Tang Mingyue’s eyes were bloodshot.

Ever since they entered the trial game, they hadn’t slept or rested at all. It was very normal for their eyes to be bloodshot. Fang Heng naturally didn’t think too much about it at that time.

Fang Heng scratched his head, feeling that things had become very troublesome all of a sudden.

A demon?

Tang Mingyue? Why her?

Argyll suddenly turned around and looked at Fang Heng with a strange expression.

“What?”

“He’s asking about your identity.”

“Me?”

“He said that any enemy whose blood is attacked by the demonic touch will become the demon’s slave and go crazy. But you didn’t. You’re completely immune to the demonic touch’s attack.”

Argyll looked at Fang Heng and said carefully, “Evil Bones said that he felt that the demon within him was afraid of you. He asked about your true identity.”

Different?

Blood?!

Fang Heng thought of the attack he had received when he was fighting against Evil Bones.

The game prompted that the special effect of this attack had been nullified.

His first reaction was that it was due to the vampire bloodline!

Was that why the vampire bloodline could restrain demons?

Several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng’s mind.

“Fang Heng, he asked who are you? It was the first time he felt the fear of the demonic seed.”

Fang Heng suppressed the suspicion in his heart, nodded, and said, “Tell him that I’m a Saint from the human race and I’m here to save them. I can feel the power of the demon recovering. I can save their race.”

Ha? A Saint? You?

Argyll was stunned.

“Translate the words to him!”

“Alright.”

Argyll agreed and began to translate Fang Heng’s words to the elder of the cave-dwelling beasts.

Evil Bones listened to Argyll’s translation, his face showing surprise and doubt.

A Saint? Would he be able to save the entire clan of cave-dwelling beasts from the hands of the sinister demons?

Fang Heng looked calm as he stood still and stared at Evil Bones.

Argyll communicated with Evil Bones for a while, then turned to Fang Heng again, “He wants you to prove it.”

Fang Heng thought for a while.

If his guess was correct and that the vampire bloodline caused the evil demon to be afraid, would the vampire blood affect it?

Fang Heng took a few steps forward and cut his palm with a small knife.

“Chi”

Blood gushed out from the cut and condensed into a ball of blood under Fang Heng’s control, floating in the air.

The wound on his palm was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood ball floated towards Evil Bones.

As the blood ball got closer, Evil Bones’ body started to shake uncontrollably once more as he let out a low roar.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and attacked the monster that was fixed on the alchemy metal plate not far away.

“Chi!!!”

Once it came into contact with the blood, the monster struggled violently. The tentacles on the surface of its body contracted crazily, and green smoke was emitted.

It was actually effective?

So the blood of the vampires could partially suppress monsters?

Why?

Could it be that the vampires were also related to this world?

Fang Heng frowned and felt that his intelligence was not enough. There were not enough clues.

It was better to hand it over to Qiu Yaokang for testing after they returned so that they could gather more clues.

Argyll was also looking at Fang Heng in shock.

What the hell was this guy’s blood?

[Hint: You have gained the trust of the elder of the cave-dwelling beast, Evil Bones.]

[Hint: You have reached the reverence level with the cave-dwelling beast race.]

Fang Heng saw two red prompts refresh on his retina. He immediately raised his head and said, “Ask Evil Bones if he’s willing to cooperate.”

Argyll came back to his senses and immediately translated Fang Heng’s words to Evil Bones.

Evil Bones, who was also in shock, nodded his head.

“He said that he is willing to cooperate and follow the Saint’s guidance. Not only him, but as long as the evil demons can be dispelled, the entire clan of the cave-dwelling beasts is willing to follow the Saint’s guidance.”
