Demon

An Embryo that is far from being fully developed is playing a game Undead Formula. Not to mention Li Ziran, no normal person would believe it.

Li Ziran smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to believe it, because Sandrew wouldn't play such a trick on him, and he wasn't qualified to do so.

"You mean you're after the Embryo in the Butterfly Girl's belly?" Li Ziran needed to confirm again and again.

Sandrew nodded seriously. "That's right. I'll take her under my wing. She's qualified to challenge the pinnacle of the Necromantic Domain. Li Ziran, Gegwu told me you're an excellent Organ Witch Doctor. I hope you can help me."

"Help you?" Li Ziran asked rhetorically, completely unsure of what to do after everything that had happened. "What do you want me to do? Give birth to the child?"

"Of course!" Sandrew said firmly. "Not only must the child be born, but he must also be the first person the child sees. Even if I am not his father, I must convince him."

Li Ziran chuckled inwardly; his mind was a complete mess, and he had no idea how to communicate with Sandrew.

They won't take him, they want an Embryo instead, how ridiculous.

"Could you tell me more specifically what that was? Master, this shouldn't be your first encounter with the Butterfly Girl, right?"

Sandrew suddenly hesitated, as if he felt this was a secret that couldn't be revealed, but when he saw the sincerity in Li Ziran's eyes, he nodded helplessly. "I can reveal some things. He is Demon, a seed sent from the Abyss."

Abyss?

"Demon?" Li Ziran retorted.

This is definitely not an ordinary race. Demon possess the Soul Eye, which allows them to see the Soul Element within the Elemental Tide. They prefer the souls within the living souls of the Red Soil Continent. By possessing souls, Demon possess an inexhaustible source of power.

Although Li Ziran had never come into contact with Demon, evil legends about Demon circulated throughout the Red Soil Continent.

Every Demon that descends upon the Red Soil Continent will do everything in its power to devour the souls it encounters.

If Necromancer are villains, then every Demon is a bastard. Of course, there are distorted elements in the legends, but they also illustrate the harm this race has caused to the creatures of the Red Soil Continent.

"Don't be surprised. It's not a secret. The Dark Council and the Abyss cooperate. Even I sometimes go into the Abyss to collect corpses." Sandrew tried to downplay Li Ziran's hostility. After all, any normal person would instinctively feel repulsed when they heard about the descendants of Demon. "As Witch Doctor, you must have come into contact with some people. They are born with talent in the soul realm. There are many descendants of Demon on this continent. After all, the two wars provided enough time for hybrids to emerge."

Karen's image suddenly appeared in Li Ziran's mind. Could she be a mixed-race descendant?

"Master, just tell me about this Embryo. I'm not as averse to Demon as you think," Li Ziran said calmly. He understood what Sandrew was trying to say, but that wasn't important. In the face of survival, there was no distinction between races. The Creator created this world not purely for any one person or race.

In the face of survival, all living beings are equal; the only difference lies in their means of survival.

At least for now, the Demon pose little threat to him.

"Hehe, actually this is easy to understand. Demon possess the Soul Eye, which allows them to see through souls, but because they live in the Abyss, they cannot develop strong elemental sensitivity. Especially after the two great wars, Demon realized their shortcomings, and many Demon races believe that hybrids have a significant advantage."

"So, they secretly send their offspring into the bodies of creatures on the Red Soil Continent?" Li Ziran guessed.

Sandrew nodded. "Yes, many Demon races use this method of surrogacy, finding pregnant women and secretly implanting their offspring into them. Once the offspring matures, they can easily gain elemental sensing abilities. Li, I can also tell you something else: the Dark Council actually runs this surrogacy business and makes a fortune from it."

Li Ziran smiled. Sure enough, where there is demand, there is business. He couldn't control what the Dark Council did, but now this matter had fallen on his shoulders.

We need to find a way to deal with it.

"Do the Beast Race do that too?" Li Ziran thought of the Minotaur and Rhine outside, who were the Beast Race military.

Sandrew nodded. "This business is very profitable, and it's just getting started. As you can see, none of the things they cultivate survive. Their Witch Doctor techniques are terrible. They always think they can create Demon fetuses with a few spells and make a fortune, but many Beast Race women have been drained dry by the Embryo inside."

Li Ziran could imagine the scene of flesh and blood withering away. According to the uterus's predatory development, if it weren't for the Life Potion, the uterus would have absorbed all of the Butterfly Girl's energy.

This is a very subtle aspect of pregnancy care, which is not mentioned in witchcraft.

"Why would those Orc think of me? My reputation isn't enough to reach the Rhine Prairie, is it?" Li Ziran looked at Sandrew. He felt something was amiss, especially since these Orc had been waiting for him for three months, which proved they were very confident in their abilities.

They were so confident despite never having met, it's clear they had been vouched for by someone with sufficient authority.

Sandrew chuckled, unconsciously scratching the back of his head. "Li, don't blame me. I really want a capable student. You don't know, I've been stuck at the Archmage level for fifty years, especially in the last ten years. My energy is far less than before, and I don't think I have the ability to break through to the Title Magister. But just when I was most frustrated, I accidentally came across a camp where Beast Race were cultivating Demon Embryo."

"A coincidence?" Li Ziran interrupted him directly.

The lie was exposed, Sandrew chuckled dryly. "A mission, a mission from the Dark Council. They didn't want the Orc involved in this kind of business, so they wanted me to eliminate them. It was going smoothly until I saw this girl, and she captivated me."

"Conquer?" Li Ziran didn't understand.

"You might not believe it, but she directly pointed out eighteen flaws in my Gargoyle Summoning Array and even found three typos in the Bone Script. My God, you don't know, from the beginning I thought those were the most correct Bone Script, but reality is cruel. After I corrected them according to her requirements, the nature of the Gargoyle changed dramatically. You should know that those Bone Script were refined by me over hundreds of years; there shouldn't be any mistakes at all."

Li Ziran could understand that surprise. Anyone who rashly corrected a decades-old craft would be shocked, just like a naive young man suddenly saying that his Transformation Array was a paper frame. What's even crazier is that it turned out that the person was right.

This kind of shock is absolutely beyond compare.

"Then why mention me?" Li Ziran asked directly.

"Hehe!" Sandrew chuckled dryly. "Well... you've given Gegwu a heart transplant before, and Gegwu has praised your skills many times. Since you can transplant a heart, ensuring the smooth development of a fetus shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Li Ziran was speechless; there really wasn't a single flaw in him.

The problem is, he's not an obstetrician/gynecologist.

"So, you've allied with the Beast Race, secretly sending this Butterfly Girl to me. The Beast Race can learn some technology from me, while you can completely control this fetus."

As if his thoughts had been exposed, Sandrew blushed slightly. "Actually, there was no apparent alliance. I just promoted your reputation and then pulled some strings to send this Butterfly Girl over. Although it was a bit difficult, at least it was a close call. And your skills are even better than I expected. I'm sure this fetus will be delivered!"

Li Ziran wasn't so optimistic. Putting aside the Butterfly Girl's health issues, the Dark Council alone was a behemoth that couldn't be trifled with.

Even the Beast Race couldn't tolerate him, let alone a lowly Witch Doctor with no background whatsoever.

Of course, that's a bit of nonsense.

He's such a nobody that he's unlikely to catch the eye of the Dark Council. It's like the slave trade; every town has a warrant for his arrest, but there are plenty of people secretly smuggling slaves.

"That girl's condition isn't good. Her uterus has almost drained all her nutrients. Although her throat has healed, I don't think she'd be able to eat on her own. She should know what she was carrying, which is why she attempted suicide, right?"

Sandrew nodded in distress and sighed, "This is also the most difficult thing for me. It's just Demon, what's so scary about it? Why do I have to swallow the cup to commit suicide? Besides, I can exchange it for wealth after I'm born."

"Wealth and honor?" Li Ziran interrupted Sandrew directly, laughing, "If the birth goes smoothly, I'll probably have another one!"

Sandrew was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to communicate. Finally, he made a tough decision and said, "Li Ziran, give me a straight answer: can you have children or not?"

Li Ziran's eyes darted around, and he asked, "What if I can have children, and what if I can't?"

"It would be best if you could have children, but if you can't!" Sandrew wanted to threaten her a bit more, but then he thought that this girl still needed Li Ziran's help, so he could only sigh inwardly, "Then you shouldn't stay in the Undead Nest anymore. Although Gegwu is protecting you, I can't kill you, but seeing you makes me annoyed, so you should get lost as soon as possible."

"Can give birth!"

Li Ziran spoke directly. He had never met such an honest person. Since the other party was so straightforward, Li Ziran didn't need to hide anything. They were both men, so it was more convenient to put everything on the table.

"Real?"

Li Ziran nodded firmly, "Absolutely!"

"Good, good, good!" Sandrew exclaimed three times, excitedly patting Li Ziran's shoulder a few times and laughing, "If you manage to get this done, I'll grant you one wish."

Li Ziran didn't jump for joy. Instead, he stared at Sandrew and said methodically, "She can give birth, but it's very difficult. I need to replace all of Butterfly Girl's internal organs with standardized Magic Organs. This... you have to deliver the goods!"
