Chapter 961: Ma.s.sacre of the b.u.t.terfly Silhouettes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan did not need the three Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters. They ate the Marsh Crocodiles and should be able to reduce the population of the Marsh Crocodiles in the area.
However, Lin Yuan now had Wendy and the Medusa Snake Demon that could control the Marsh Crocodiles.
Hence, the more Marsh Crocodiles there were in the water, the better it would be for Lin Yuan.
Moreover, the Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otter was not intelligent nor large, excelled at hiding itself, and was knowledgeable about the area.
If he did not kill the three Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters after taking over the territory, he would have to suffer continuous hara.s.sment from them until he finally gave the territory back.
Thus, he instructed the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly to kill all dimensional lifeforms within the area surrounded by the three mountains as there were not going to be many strong dimensional lifeforms in the area. Even if there were, they would have been chased out by the Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters like the Medusa Snake Demon had been.
Lin Yuan wanted to take control of the area as soon as possible so that Endless Summer could plant the Barren River Orchid Bud here. He also needed to ensure that no dimensional lifeforms in the area would become potential threats to the Barren River Orchid Bud.
Lin Yuan had considered turning Wendy or the three Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters into Rising Lizard’s believers. But during his communication with Rising Lizard through Connected Tails, he found out that it was not easy for an Apostle to accept believers as the process required transferring energy from its totem into its believer to form a totem imprint. This would deplete the energy inside Rising Lizard’s totem.
The energy would require some time to be replenished by the power of faith from the Apostle’s believers.
According to Rising Lizard’s estimation, it would take close to two weeks of the Medusa Snake Demon’s daily providence of the power of faith to replenish the depleted energy.
This meant that Rising Lizard’s totem would require a month to become more powerful than it was before.
There were dangers abound in the marsh world, and it was likely that Rising Lizard’s believer would befall some type of accident and end up as food for the flesh-eating bacteria.
The loss of every believer would be a significant blow to an Apostle. Hence, Rising Lizard needed to choose its believers carefully.
The best option would be a smart dimensional lifeform or one that had great potential and survival will.
The three Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters were cunning dimensional lifeforms and were capable of surviving in their own little territory. However, they were too weak. If the Medusa Snake Demon had not been pregnant with Wendy at the time, it would have fought back against the three Crocodile-Eating Marsh Otters.
The Medusa Snake Demon could sense the murderous aura flowing from Lin Yuan, and its chest tightened.
It had lived long enough in the marsh world to know that one’s life was no longer in one’s hand in the face of a powerful lifeform that could kill them within a blink of an eye.
At that moment, the Medusa Snake Demon heard a soft and gentle female voice say, “Lin Yuan, when you said that you wanted to clean this place up, did you mean that you wanted to kill all the dimensional lifeforms in the area?”
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly, it’s up to you now. Don’t let any of the dimensional lifeforms get away. But, you can leave those outside the mountains.”
The Medusa Snake Demon had been momentarily stunned by the female voice because it could not understand what the voice was saying.
The Medusa Snake Demon was shocked to see numerous b.u.t.terfly silhouettes take flight shortly after. They looked like petals that were silently scattered all around.
The Medusa Snake Demon was a smart dimensional lifeform that could get a good sense of other lifeforms’ power.
It could sense that all life came to a close the moment that the blue b.u.t.terfly silhouettes spread themselves across the three mountains.
The Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly said, “Lin Yuan, there are no longer any dimensional lifeforms present. Even the insects in the mud have been removed. The three mountains are outstanding natural barriers that can perfectly block out the dimensional lifeforms from the marsh. All I need to do now is protect the entrance, and I can a.s.sure you that no other dimensional lifeform will tunnel out from the ground.”
Lin Yuan replied, “Let’s land at the entrance of the three mountains and check the surroundings.”
If we cleared the same area in the main world, Lin Yuan would also need to clean it. However, this was easy in the marsh world.
In about an hour, the flesh-eating bacteria completely consumed the dead dimensional lifeforms.
Wendy changed back into its Medusa form and climbed up Lin Yuan’s body. As he carried it, he was reminded of the way he used to carry Chu Ci.
The Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly appeared at the entrance of the three mountains with a few flaps of its wings.
As he stood at the entrance of the three mountains, Lin Yuan immediately felt himself sinking into the mud.
He did not use the wings attached to his back because he wanted to know how much moisture was in the ground of the marsh world.
Eventually, Lin Yuan sank to his calves.
