Quickly Crush His Arrogance!

This red spot did not greatly affect Guai's movements. It looked as though it had only just been stained on.

There were very, very few substances capable of coloring an Undying Body.

The six brain-rusted aliens racked their brains, trying to dig up fragments of information from their scattered memories.

If anything happened to Guai, the trouble would be enormous!

"Careful, it's coming!" Lu Yuan's eyes widened as he saw Guai of the Spirit Shrine Eye pounce toward the Little Grotto-heaven.

The Greedy Demon God was ready for battle at any moment.

"Whoosh!" Just as yesterday, Guai continued circling outside the Mirage Space.

The taut string in Lu Yuan's heart finally loosened. "Looks like the Little Mirage Dragon can handle this job for the long term."

"But it needs to rest and recover during the day. There'll be a daily nutrition expense."

Everyone began calculating the costs. A grotto-heaven this large could support a dragon's long-term use of the Mirage Space, and the income and expenses could balance out... but the problem was that most of the population was now hibernating, and production had nearly stopped. They would have to keep consuming spiritual essence.

Just then, the old Serpentfolk who had been observing Guai's movements suddenly thought of something and jolted backward in shock!

He remembered!

Aside from all kinds of myth-level items, there was another substance that could contaminate an Undying Body—Steel Ability User blood!!

Realizing he had lost his composure, he quickly restrained his expression.

His tail rattled a few times like that of a rattlesnake.

"What did you discover?" another alien hurriedly asked.

"This is definitely Steel Ability User blood, smeared all over Guai's body!" the old Serpentfolk declared with absolute certainty.

For a moment, the six aliens stared with their eyes wide in disbelief.

A Steel Ability User? Where had one come from?

How was that possible?

Even Lu Yuan overheard their conversation and was somewhat speechless. "These old geezers have sharp eyes. The strength I worked so hard to hide has been exposed already?"

One of the Crystal People also knew that openly discussing it was somewhat impolite, so he set up a telepathic network and whispered within it.

"What's going on? A Steel Ability User actually fought Guai? You didn't see wrong, did you?" one impatient alien asked urgently.

"If it isn't blood, then what else could it be? Look for yourself." The old Serpentfolk snorted coldly.

"Damn it, what are we supposed to do? Don't tell me someone wants to seal Guai away? This Guai absolutely cannot be sealed! Wait, could a Level Three Civilization have done this? Old Snake, didn't you say you only saw a hydrogen bomb explode yesterday?!"

The old Serpentfolk quickly protested, "I did see a hydrogen bomb explode, but how would I know what happened afterward?"

"Brothers, I wasn't even in my right mind back then. How could I have had the energy to observe something thousands of kilometers away?"

Everyone fell silent.

Why had this Level Three Civilization suddenly become so monstrous? What level did one need to be to trade punches with Guai in close combat?

That was the level of a top-tier monster!

Once they thought about it, they were all stunned.

The strongest Crystal Person narrowed his eyes. "Don't panic. Check whether Guai has any missing parts."

"No. It was only stained with a little blood..."

That fact made the aliens relax slightly.

It was good that nothing had happened.

But then they became intensely confused again. Did humans really have a Steel Ability User?

"But if it's a human-level Steel Ability User, its limit should only be that much. One punch would kill it."

"When we came here from the spaceship, I saw the Netherworld Strike on the grasslands leave behind many deep craters... I didn't pay much attention at the time, but thinking about it now, there seemed to have been an intense battle."

Netherworld Strike was the ultimate killing move of the Serpentfolk Nether, Guai of the Spirit Shrine Eye.

In an Idealistic World, ability names were not chosen casually.

Netherworld Strike combined physical and magical power, and even carried soul attacks. Even among Guai-level attacks, it was an exceptionally formidable type.

Gradually, a keyword appeared in their minds.

Myth!

"Impossible! How could a Level Three Civilization possess a myth?!"

In the aliens' eyes, ordinary Steel Ability Users were not all that useful.

For example, Lu Yuan in human form—so what if he possessed steel?

Guai could turn a human into a pile of meat paste with physical attacks alone.

Only a being with extremely high vitality could contend with it for a while.

"How is it impossible? I heard from the Ratfolk Artisan Master that Human Civilization has deep fortune and picks up a great deal of trash. They're the kings of trash-picking."

"And much of that fortune is concentrated in one person."

"That Grand Commander Lu Yuan is also an artisan. Perhaps he really can forge a myth?"

"He even married the princess of a remnant race from the previous era... Look at that fortune! How deep it is!"

Everyone was utterly baffled. What did marrying a wife have to do with fortune? Had his brain broken? Or had he eaten too much and started thinking lewd thoughts?

"My Hong Bat Clan excels at reading faces and telling fortunes. Marry a good wife, and wealth will never be lacking; marry a strong woman, and she's worth more than half a year's rations." The Bat Person began spouting nonsense. "You bunch of bachelors don't understand the truth behind it! I think he really forged a myth."

"I used to be a noble too, with wives and concubines in droves. Why didn't I forge a myth?" The alien in Epic Level armor craned his neck. He was also an artisan.

"I... reproduce asexually." The Crystal Person did not understand the logic behind it.

A group of lunatics was faintly starting to lose their minds.

They actually could not see through this Level Three Civilization!

Their self-esteem had suffered a blow.

These old geezers had nothing at all. The only things they could take pride in were their judgment and their self-esteem.

"Enough, enough. Let me test him. None of you say anything reckless," the old Serpentfolk said through telepathy.

"Grand Commander Lu, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Was that clump of blood on Guai's body put there by you?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he did not avoid the subject. "Yes. When I saw such a powerful anomaly, I couldn't resist challenging it."

"But I couldn't beat it and could only run away. Before leaving, I spat a mouthful of blood on it."

The aliens all wore expressions like they were constipated.

It really was you!

You fought Guai and were still alive and kicking.

"This bastard is showing off in front of us!" the Bat Person cursed through telepathy.

Another artisan, the armored alien, was also furious. "We've lived so long. What haven't we seen? A myth capable of contending with Guai... Quickly crush his arrogant swagger!"

The largest Crystal Person was instead deep in thought. "A Level Three Civilization capable of fighting Guai really is something I've never seen before..."

"Most importantly, they have a chance of successfully escaping this place."

"I truly have never seen such a Level Three Civilization. They have a myth and a Steel Ability User... no wonder Demon of the Ruined Control was killed."

"I see. I think that as long as they continue growing, they may have hope of becoming a Peak Civilization!"

At his words, the other five aliens were stunned.

A Peak Civilization was an existence worthy of admiration. Even a Level Five Civilization had to look up to one!

Yet the one before them was only a Level Three Civilization. What right did it have to become a Peak Civilization?!

Jealousy made the old geezers practically split apart.

The old Serpentfolk's eyes spun. "Pull him into the telepathic network. Let me properly suppress him with words!"

Lu Yuan was closely monitoring this monster when his mind suddenly went hazy. The sensation was familiar—someone had pulled him into a telepathic network.

"What's going on?"

Little brother, you used steel. I'm afraid you've already become a wanted criminal on Pangu Continent!

There is a high chance that unknown Guai are waiting outside to ambush you. The moment you go out, you'll be caught red-handed.

Don't blame us for not warning you in advance!

If your city teleports out, it might be destroyed the very next moment. The old Serpentfolk's verbal suppression delighted the aliens, and each of them reveled in his misfortune.

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly. The Ratfolk Artisan had told him this as well. Using steel abilities so openly was extremely dangerous.

It was only because he had hidden within this monster's Multiple Different Dimensions that he had coincidentally avoided an even greater crisis.

This really does require lying low for a while.

Have the Ancient Insects of the Underground Alliance send insectfolk to scout for me and find out whether any Guai are really waiting to ambush me.

If a Guai is guarding our respawn point, are we supposed to hide in this monster's territory forever? Damn it, this is really...

Senior, will Guai definitely be waiting to ambush me? He put on an extremely ignorant expression.

The old Serpentfolk's desire to show off was thoroughly satisfied. Actually... not necessarily. The toxicity of steel abilities isn't all that high. It depends on how much they have recovered.

But you can't gamble on it, can you? What if you lose?

Yes, these Guai really can't be provoked.

Every Guai had different abilities. Half of Lu Yuan's current abilities came from steel abilities, while the other half came from spatial abilities.

If he encountered a type capable of countering spatial abilities, the trouble would be enormous.

At that point, he would not even be able to escape and could only be worn down alive until he died.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan shamelessly cried out, Senior, please save me!

Our family is small and our business is meager. We don't have much money, so you must come up with a way that doesn't cost money!

The old Serpentfolk was stunned by his brazen words. Openly declaring that he had "no money"—what kind of move was that?

No wonder... no wonder this fellow had risen to prominence.

Truly, the shameless were invincible beneath the heavens!

The calm Crystal Person said, You don't need us to save you. We don't have that ability either.

You only need to wait here a little longer.

This vast grassland moves. It is comparable to a small planet. Every so often, it shifts to another location.

This mechanism is extremely complex. It can even shift from one end of Pangu Continent to the other.

Once the storm has passed, you can leave this place.
