Upon Zhang Dashan saying this, Ye Bai realized that the guy before him was actually Zhang Dashan’s clone.
It grinned, transforming into the likeness of Hellfire.
"Come, summon the Abyssal Demon God."
Looking at this snarling Hellfire, oh my, this guy more like a Demon God, doesn’t he?
This time, the offering for summoning Dan Kalabi wasn’t simple; it used a Tier Six Pet Beast’s crystal core.
Moreover, the beautiful Cyan Simurgh-like beast was a Tier Five Exotic Beast, possessing a similar appearance to the Cyan Simurgh but lacking its power.
Its ornamental value exceeds its practical value.
Even the Exotic Beast blood used to mark the magic array was carefully selected as the best.
Ye Bai effortlessly drew out the Magic Array.
As the final stroke landed, black energy surged.
Ripples appeared in the Magic Array, endless black energy emerged from it, gradually forming a pentagram shape in midair.
The pentagram extended a pair of hands shaped from black energy, grabbing the Cyan Simurgh and began inspecting it closely.
"I quite like your offerings!"
"Always prepared with such care."
"If I hadn’t seen no lines of faith above your head, I would have thought you were my fervent believer."
Dan Kalabi floated in the air, looking down at Ye Bai, and let out a thunderous voice.
"Great Lord Dan Kalabi."
"Please allow me to admire your wisdom."
"I summoned you to hear your profound knowledge and hope you’ll impart it to me."
Ye Bai expressed his request.
Dan Kalabi liked it when people sought his advice, his heart was filled with joy hearing this.
"Come, speak your needs."
"Considering the offering, if it’s within my knowledge, I’ll tell you."
Dan Kalabi was genuinely easy-going.
Thus, Ye Bai summoned the Summer Grass Ant.
"Lord, I just wish to know where the spores infecting this Summer Grass Ant originate from."
Upon seeing the Summer Grass Ant, Dan Kalabi immediately stepped back.
His pupils showed a mix of astonishment and fear, and a hint of disdain.
"How did Jubi’s spores end up here, the Mother of Spores."
"Is that lunatic trying to turn Blue Star into her breeding ground?"
Fear flashed in Dan Kalabi’s eyes as he unleashed divine power, knowing that contact with Abyssal Spores would also infect this clone.
Only after Ye Bai retrieved the Summer Grass Ant did Dan Kalabi’s expression improve.
"You want to know how to avoid infection by Abyssal Spores, correct."
"I know the solution but cannot say it directly."
"Because walls have ears."
"If I reveal it to you, the Mother of Spores will unleash a torrent of spores in my domain."
"I don’t wish to become enemies with her."
"However, I can tell you that where serpents breed, antidotes are within seven steps."
Ye Bai, witnessing Dan Kalabi’s immense apprehension, remained silent.
Instead, he presented Jiang Dongsheng and Zhang Tianliang to Dan Kalabi.
"Lord Dan Kalabi, these friends of mine were once infected by spores, I seek your aid to determine if any spores still linger within them."
Dan Kalabi’s five eyes shot out infrared-like materials, scanning Jiang Dongsheng and Zhang Tianliang’s bodies back and forth.
After a long time, he showed a shocked expression: "No residual spores, they’ve been expelled remarkably clean."
Then Ye Bai continued asking: "I once saw mushroom-shaped demon patterns on his forehead."
"Isn’t it true that those infected by spores and forming demon patterns are irredeemable?"
Ye Bai posed his second question.
Upon hearing Ye Bai’s words, Dan Kalabi exerted even more divine power, repeatedly sweeping through Jiang Dongsheng’s body.
"No, the Abyssal Spores should be suppressed by the Blue Star Crystal Wall, reducing their power by nearly seventy percent."
"If Abyssal Spores genuinely invade a human body, even a breath can gradually erode the body."
"Moreover, post-spore erosion, he’s developed immunity."
"Kid, every encounter with you brings me new surprises."
"I excel at treasure appraisal, summon me if needed."
"I’ve memorized your aura, next time you summon me, no need for the magic array."
"Simply sketch my demon pattern on the ground with pebbles, gently clap hands and chant summon Dan Kalabi, I will descend upon here."
These final words, Dan Kalabi communicated via telepathy to Ye Bai.
Afterwards, his ominous visage dispersed into countless black smoke in mid-air, disappearing with a smile.
"Ah, through Dan Kalabi’s appraisal, your doubts are thoroughly lifted."
"Looks like the Fiery Flame Potion is effective."
"Next, the summon targets the new Demon gods, following the pact with King Solomon’s seventy-two Demon Gods, namely the seventy-second Demon God, Xi’Er."
"Chief Jiang, Senior Zhang, please step away."
According to existing records, Xi’Er’s true form is a handsome man riding a winged Pegasus.
He possesses the knowledge of cosmic laws, capable of circling the world swiftly, revealing thieves and their hidden treasures.
This means that Xi’Er, when pleased, grants endless rewards, informing one of a hidden treasure’s location.
Ye Bai examined the offerings prepared by Zhang Dashan, prepared quite thoroughly, considering all aspects.
Included were fine wines, delicious foods, treasure swords, exquisite porcelain, all meticulously arranged.
Xi’Er’s demon pattern is a palm with one eye, holding a wooden mallet.
Summoning Xi’Er also requires a prayer, a hymn of praise to Xi’Er.
"You cleaved through the Abyss’ murkiness with your sharp treasure sword."
"You descended the light Pegasus upon the Abyss."
"Holy is your epithet, the Eye of Truth in your hand."
"You are the messenger of justice, shall deliver judicious verdicts."
Thus ended the prayer.
Ye Bai added another phrase.
"I offer fine wines and delicacies, providing you with joy on your palate."
"I present the treasure sword, clearing paths for you."
"I offer exquisite porcelain, for you are celebrated as the God of Art."
"Descend, great Abyss God, Xi’Er."
Dark light erupted, chilling winds surged.
Black fog appeared upon the magic array, straightaway fine wine and food flew into the array.
Then gulping and chewing sounds ensued.
A handsome man with silver hair, a long silver horn on his head emerged.
He gently dabbed his greasy mouth corner with a silk cloth, gazing deeply at Ye Bai.
"The possessor of the Memory Palace."
"Though we meet for the first time, I’ve observed you for long."
Eyes crystal clear seemed to pierce Ye Bai’s soul.
"I am sincerely pleased with your offerings."
"Present your desires."
"If I can fulfill them."
"Dan Kalabi just departed, if he could’ve resolved it, you wouldn’t have called upon me."
Ye Bai nodded: "Indeed, I wish to understand Abyssal Spores."
"What counters Abyssal Spores?"
Xi’Er’s eyes also revealed a hint of fear: "I understand why Dan Kalabi left." Check latest chapters at NoveIꜰire.net
"This issue, I cannot disclose."
"But I can offer a clue, Abyssal Spores resemble Blue Star Spores."
"Start with this, research further."
Ye Bai nodded, didn’t expect an immediate answer from Xi’Er.
"My next query is, how to identify humans infected by Abyssal Spores!"
