This red spot didn't have much impact on the Guai's actions; it looked like it had just been stained on.

There are very, very few substances that can stain the "Undying Body."

The six Aberrants with rusty brains racked their brains, trying to find scraps of information from their scattered memories.

If something happened to the Guai, the trouble would be huge!

"Be careful, it's coming!" Lu Yuan's eyes widened as he saw the Guai of the Spirit Shrine Eye pounce towards the small Grotto-heaven.

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

"Whoosh!" The Guai, in the end, still lingered outside the Mirage Space like yesterday.

Lu Yuan's tense heartstring relaxed. "It seems the Little Mirage Dragon can handle this job long-term."

"But it needs to conserve its Essence during the day, and there will be a daily nutritional expense."

People calculated the expenses. For such a large Grotto-heaven, supplying a dragon for long-term use of the Mirage Space, the income and expenses could balance... but the problem was that most of the population was in Hibernation now, and production had almost stopped. This would require long-term consumption of Spirit Essence.

Just then, the old Snake Person, who had been observing the Guai's movements, suddenly thought of something and jumped back in surprise!

He remembered!

Besides various Mythical-level items, there was another substance that could pollute the "Undying Body" - the blood of a Steel ability user!!

He immediately realized his gaffe and quickly composed himself.

His tail rattled a few times like a Rattlesnake.

"What did you find?" another Aberrant quickly asked.

"This is definitely the blood of a Steel ability user, smeared on the Guai!" the old Snake Person declared confidently.

The six Aberrants stared with disbelief for a moment.

Where did a Steel ability user come from?

How was that possible?

Even Lu Yuan heard their conversation and was a bit speechless. "These old geezers have too good eyesight. My carefully hidden trump card is exposed just like that?"

One of the Crystal People also knew that talking openly was impolite, so he established a Telepathy network and whispered within it.

"What's going on? There's actually a Steel fighting the Guai? You didn't see wrong, did you?" an impatient Aberrant asked hurriedly.

"Besides blood, what else could it be? See for yourself," the old Snake Person snorted coldly.

"Damn it, what should we do? Someone doesn't want to Seal the Guai, right? This Guai absolutely cannot be Sealed! Wait, it couldn't be a Level Three Civilization, could it? Old Snake, didn't you say you only saw a Hydrogen Bomb explode yesterday?!"

The old Snake Person quickly protested, "I saw a Hydrogen Bomb explode, but what happened after that, how would I know?"

"Older Brothers, I was delirious at the time, how could I have the energy to observe something thousands of kilometers away?"

Everyone fell silent.

How did this Level Three Civilization suddenly become so abnormal? What level is it to be able to physically fight the Guai, trading punches and kicks?

That's the level of a top-tier Yao!

Thinking this, they were all stunned.

The most powerful Crystal Person narrowed his eyes: "Don't be nervous, check if the Guai has any missing parts."

"No, it just has a little blood on it..."

This fact made the Aberrants breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It was good that nothing had happened.

Then they became incredibly confused. Did Humans really have Steel?

"But if it's Human-level Steel, its limit is just that. It would be killed with one punch."

"When I came here from the Spaceship, I saw the Netherworld Strike on the grassland create many deep pits... I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems a fierce battle took place."

Netherworld Strike was the great killer of the Snake People's Guai of the Spirit Shrine Eye.

In the Idealistic world, the names of abilities were not given randomly.

Netherworld Strike, cultivating both physical and magical aspects, and also carrying a soul attack, was considered a very powerful type even among Guai-level attacks.

Gradually, a keyword appeared in their minds.

Mythical!

"Impossible, how could a Level Three Civilization possess Mythical?!"

In the Aberrants' view, ordinary Steel ability users were actually not of much use.

For example, Lu Yuan in his Human state, what if he had Steel?

A Guai could beat a Human into a meat paste with just physical attacks.

It had to be an existence with extremely high vitality to be able to resist for a period of time.

"Why is it impossible? I heard the Ratfolk Artisan Master say that Human Civilization has deep Luck, picking up a lot of trash, and is the King of picking up trash."

"And a lot of the Luck is concentrated in one person's hands."

"That Lu Da Commander is also an Artisan, perhaps he can really forge a Mythical?"

"He even married the princess of a remnant clan from the previous era as his Wife... Look at this Luck! How deep it is!"

Everyone was puzzled, what did marrying a Wife have to do with Luck? Had your brain gone bad? Or were you starting to have lustful thoughts because you ate too much?

"My Hong Bat Clan is good at fortune-telling. If you marry a good Wife, you won't lack wealth; if you marry a strong Wife, it's better than half a year's worth of grain." The Bat Person started talking nonsense, "You bachelors don't understand the principle! I think he just forged a Mythical."

"This grandpa used to be a noble with many wives and concubines. Why didn't I forge a Mythical?" The Aberrant wearing Epic-level armor stuck out his neck. He was also an Artisan.

"Grandpa... asexual reproduction." The Crystal Person didn't understand the principle.

A group of mentally ill people were subtly starting to go crazy.

They actually couldn't see through a Level Three Civilization!

Their self-esteem had taken a certain blow.

These Old Geezers had nothing, the only thing they were proud of was their eyesight and self-esteem.

"Alright, alright, let me test it out. Don't talk nonsense," the old Snake Person said via Telepathy.

"Lu Da Commander, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"That mass of blood on the Guai, did you put it there?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't avoid the topic. "Yes, seeing such a strong Aberrant Phenomenon, I couldn't resist challenging it."

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

The Aberrants all looked constipated.

It really was you!

Fighting a Guai and still being alive and kicking.

"This guy is showing off to us!" the Bat Person cursed in Telepathy.

Another Artisan Aberrant in armor was also annoyed. "We've lived for so long, what haven't we seen? A Mythical being that can contend with a Guai... Quickly suppress his arrogance!"

The largest Crystal Person, on the other hand, was deep in thought. "I've really never seen a Level Three Civilization that can fight a Guai..."

"The most crucial thing is that they also have a chance of successfully escaping from here."

"I've really never seen this kind of Level Three Civilization. There's also a Mythical being, and a Steel... No wonder the Demon of the Ruined Control was killed."

"So that's how it is. I think, as long as they continue to grow, a peak civilization is within reach!"

Hearing him say this, the other five Aberrants were stunned.

A peak civilization is an existence to be looked up to. Even a Level Five Civilization has to look up to it!

But the one in front of them is just a Level Three Civilization. How can it possibly become a peak civilization!

Jealousy caused the Old Geezers to have a mental breakdown.

The old Snake Person's eyes darted around. "Pull him into Telepathy, let me suppress him properly with words!"

Lu Yuan was closely monitoring the Guai. Suddenly, his mind felt a moment of trance. This feeling wasn't unfamiliar; someone had pulled him into Telepathy.

"What's going on?"

Little brother, you used Steel, I'm afraid you've already become a Pangu wanted criminal!

There's a high probability that there's an unknown Guai waiting outside to ambush you. You'll be caught red-handed as soon as you go out.

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

If your City jumps out, it might be destroyed the next moment. The old Snake Person's verbal suppression made the Aberrants all happy, each one gloating to the extreme.

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly. The Ratfolk Artisan had also told him about this. Using the Steel ability with such fanfare was very dangerous.

It was only because he was hiding in the Guai's Multiple Different Dimensions that he had inadvertently avoided a greater crisis.

"This matter... I really need to lie low for a while."

"Have the Ancient Worms of the Underground Alliance dispatch the Insect Race to help me scout and see if there are any Guai lying in wait for me."

"What if there are Guai guarding the resurrection point? Are we going to hide in this Guai's territory forever? Damn, this is really..."

Senior, will there definitely be Guai waiting for me? He put on a very ignorant expression.

The old Snake Person's desire to show off was fully satisfied: Actually... not necessarily. The toxicity of the Steel ability isn't actually that high. It depends on their degree of recovery.

But you can't gamble, can you? What if you lose the bet?

Yes, these ghostly things are truly not to be trifled with.

Each Guai's ability is different. Half of Lu Yuan's current abilities are Steel abilities, and the other half are spatial abilities.

If he encounters a type that can deal with spatial abilities, the trouble will be immense.

At that time, he won't even be able to escape and can only be slowly worn down to death.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan shamelessly shouted: Senior, please save me!

Our family is small and doesn't have much money. You must think of a way that doesn't cost money!

The old Snake Person was shocked by his shameless statement. Openly shouting the slogan "I have no money," what kind of behavior is this?

No wonder... no wonder this fellow could rise up.

It truly can be said that a shameless person is invincible!

The steady Crystal Person said: We don't need to save you, and we don't have that ability either.

You just need to wait here for a while longer.

This large grassland moves, comparable to a small planet. Every so often, it will move to another place.

This mechanism is very complex, even capable of moving from one end of the Pangu Continent to the other.

When the commotion passes, you can leave this place.
