"..."
"Although the Fangelanya Demon, like the Mystic Devouring Beast, can devour resources but not exorcism items, what are these things anyway?"
As Cao Fengqi walked forward and came to each of the supplies, a speechless expression appeared on his face.
"There's only one level 8 item and one level 9 item left. I hope I won't be disappointed."
His gaze fell on the level 8 supplies 600 meters away, and he walked straight towards them.
"Huh? What's this?"
[Light Moon Sword: Level 8 Quality]
[Effect 1: Perfect- grade longsword, Constitution +80.]
[Effect 2: Activates the properties of the tempered metal, allowing a five-meter-diameter crescent moon to condense at the sword tip for an attack. Charge time: 5 minutes.]
[Effect 3: Activates the Light Moon Sword Radiance, forming a full moon that floats behind you. The moon's radiance can block all attacks. Recharge time: 5 minutes.]
[Effect 4: The sword hilt is inlaid with an 8th-level Holy Light Pearl, dealing an additional 20% damage to evil spirits and beasts.]
Sorry, I was too hasty in commenting!
When Cao Fengqi dug the radiant Light Moon Sword out from under the boulder, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This sword is far more powerful than his Heavenly Mechanism Sword.
In terms of power, it is no less than Xu Fenghua's Fenghua Sword.
"Haha, Perfect! My level 8 sword just disappeared, and now I've found another one."
He grinned, waved his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, his eyes gleamed as he walked toward the level 9 item.
"This is my first level 9 treasure; I hope it won't disappoint me."
He muttered to himself, and slowly drew closer.
"Huh? This level 9 item is underground? It's at a depth of 15 meters?"
"The area is quite large; could there be another secret room below?"
As he approached, Cao Fengqi looked at the information ahead, a look of surprise on his face.
Another locked room mystery?
"Guilou, dig!"
Curious, he immediately ordered the Guilou to begin its operation.
Level 8 Guilou can dig very quickly; in just a few minutes, a hole with a diameter of one meter appeared, leading inside.
Cao Fengqi looked over and jumped inside.
"Bump!"
He landed in a somewhat empty and dark secret room. With a flick of his hand, Transcendent Emberfire burst forth, illuminating the surroundings.
A somewhat familiar altar came into view.
[Gu-Fusing Altar: Level 9 Quality]
[Effect 1: Contains a 2000 cubic meter space; the energy within the altar is supplied by the Insect Nest Ten Thousand Gu Pool 6 kilometers away.]
[Effect 2: Creatures below level 9 can be placed inside and, under the power of the Gu-Fusing Altar, fused into a more powerful creature.]
[Effect 3: High-grade rare and precious materials, flesh and blood items, souls, and even metal materials can be added to increase the strength of the fused Gu worms.]
[Note: Creatures fused at the Gu-Fusing Altar will not exceed level 9; fusion is subject to uncertainty.]
"I've encountered one of these again..."
"An altar for advancing the Gu-Raising Altar? Gu-Fusing Altar?"
Cao Fengqi in astonishment at the attributes of this altar.
"This Gu-Fusing Altar can add soul and metal to enhance the power of the Gu worms? A level 8 Gu-Raising Altar doesn't have this effect."
"The energy within this jar still originates from the Insect Nest Ten Thousand Gu Pool..."
His eyes sparkled as he looked at the altar, a look of surprise on his face.
Regardless, this Gu-Fusing Altar was an absolute treasure to him!
That area shrouded in witchcraft arrays and poisonous miasma must surely contain extremely precious treasures.
"This is?"
When he shifted his gaze from the Gu-Fusing Altar, he discovered that there was a stone table on one side of the Gu-Fusing Altar within the entire secret chamber.
Five books were placed on the stone table, and there was a stone chair in front of it.
Cao Fengqi walked over out of curiosity and picked up the book to take a look.
[Cultivating Gu worms using methods to enhance their power against evil spirits and beasts]
[The Wraith Remains and the Gu Insects]
[Mystic Devouring Beast and Gu Insects]
[The Evil Herding Art]
[Forbidden Cultivation]
Cao Fengqi felt normal when he saw the first three books, but when he saw the fourth and fifth books, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Evil Herding Art is a forbidden technique created by the Forbidden Secret Covenant Society.
It was also through this Evil Herding Art that he was able to form contracts with a group of evil beasts.
"Read them one by one first."
Curious, he sat down on the stone chair and began reading the first book, "[Cultivating Gu Insects Using Evil Spirits and Beasts]".
Each book is not thick, containing only tens of thousands of words.
The above contains detailed records of the experimental data and conclusions.
"The Gu-Fusing Altar was created based on some characteristics of the Mystic Devouring Beast, integrating metal into the Gu worm..."
"They even wanted to create a forbidden metal war beast of the spiritual type, one that could fuse with weapons and equipment like Wraith Remains... Unfortunately, they failed."
"The Evil Herding Art is the same as what I saw; the owner of this secret chamber is a member of the Forbidden Secret Covenant Society."
"That Aberrant Metal Devourer was actually an out-of-control product created by the Forbidden Secret Covenant Society?"
Cao Fengqi looked at each message with a look of amazement and shock.
He had to admit that the powerful superhumans in the Lost Land were incredibly strong, both in terms of raw power and the knowledge they possessed.
I learned from the book that the metal veins my uncle had mentioned were inhabited by powerful evil spirits and beasts such as the Aberrant Metal Devourer and the Aberrant Claw Demon. Among them, the Aberrant Metal Devourer were actually out-of-control products created by the Forbidden Secret Covenant Society.
According to the records in the book, their purpose in creating the Aberrant Metal Devourer was to imitate evil spirits and beasts such as the Mystic Devouring Beast and the Wraith Remains, in order to cultivate powerful battle pets.
"The Forbidden Secret Covenant Society's philosophy is to merge evil within oneself and slay demons with a blade; to borrow the power of evil and break the evil's trap; to control evil as weapons and protect the land and soothe the soul; to use the city as a sacrifice and to seal the abyss with the netherworld."
"There are still some things in this forbidden cultivation method that I can use..."
[The Bloody Inlay Technique can be used on Gu worms and battle pets possessing the Devouring Talent.]
[Bloody Inlay Technique...]
Cao Fengqi looked at the information inside and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Battle pets with the Devouring talent can devour metal to enhance themselves.
The Bloody Inlay Technique, simply put, involves embedding metal into the body of a battle pet, creating a semi-fused state between the pet and the metal.
Simply put, it's about equipping them.
It's somewhat similar to Wraith Remains absorbing metal and enveloping its body.
"If the Fangelanya Demon were equipped with gear, their terrifying power would increase dramatically."
