Zhuo Da, possessed by the Vampire Ancestor, immediately turned gloomy.
Compared to the mainland and Lin Suo, being a close neighbor of the Crow-men, he evidently knew more.
Moreover, since some Crow-men had already escaped, it was easy for the Blood Clan with their strength to capture a few enchanted ones.
The Blood Clan not only does not age or die, but can also become stronger through sleep and blood. They possess innate abilities such as super-speed regeneration, huge strength, extreme speed, enchantments, and initial embrace.
Blood Witchcraft and the power of the Crimson Element, however, need to be cultivated later.
Moreover, devouring a sufficient amount of fresh blood, these bloodline instincts can evolve.
For example, by absorbing a large amount of dragon blood, huge strength can evolve into Dragon Power, and by absorbing the blood of Void creatures, extreme speed can evolve into Void Shuttle, and so on.
They have very high adaptability and potential for growth.
Apart from their almost nonexistent reproductive capability and absolute control over their bloodline from the source, they are otherwise quite commendable, termed as hexagonal fighters.
Of course, this is under the condition of perfect development.
Zhuo Da’s body foundation is quite good.
After the Vampire Ancestor infused power into her, she engaged in a battle with the Crowman King, which lasted for three days and three nights.
The battle ended in a draw.
However, the Curse Scythe was still left in the Nightfall Sea Area, and the Crowman King reluctantly retreated for the time being.
Just resurrected, his strength had not yet fully recovered to the peak.
Once they rebuild the Crow Court, they will eventually break through the blockade set by the Blood Clan, not only to reclaim the Holy Artifact but also to continue their original mission!
After confirming that the enemy had left on the side of the Blood Clan.
The Vampire Ancestor left Zhuo Da’s body, transforming into a white-haired, red-eyed lolita dressed in a gothic style red dress.
She was 1.4 meters tall, and the manifestation of her illusory shadow caused a considerable disturbance.
Clearly, the recent battle had consumed a tremendous amount of power.
Seeing the Ancestor arrive, Zhuo Da quickly knelt down, respectfully saluted, and offered her own head in loyalty.
The little lolita touched her forehead, transmitted some information, and then disappeared.
Leaving Zhuo Da alone, standing there, lost in thought.
"Awaken all the elders... search the Nightfall Sea Area for the Curse Scythe... bring it to the Blood Temple."
"The Ancestor has entered a weakened state again, her power hasn’t recovered yet, and the Crowman King won’t just wait, the war is coming!"
The pressure was on the Blood Clan’s side.
Lin Suo, humming a tune, rode the Demon Spirit Shark submarine, leading a gang of shark-men minions, thieving through the ocean floor.
His "curiosity" about marine materials went beyond merely plucking a feather from a passing goose; anything he saw, he wanted to take a bit back, as it might come in handy sometime.
He scraped the seabed thoroughly.
By this time, he had reached the territory of the Sea Wolf Raiders. Since he traveled through the seabed, he had not encountered any significant troubles, occasional sea monsters were dealt with by the sea bully shark-men.
What a comfortable plunder.
The super high-quality Curse Power inside the Curse Scythe, Lin Suo believed was left by the [Crow-men and Curse God] before their deaths.
It held unusual significance for cursed creatures.
Just like the Blood Clan and the Crow-men could ascend their essence by devouring this power, thus achieving a bloodline elevation.
Crow-men could go from having wings, to large wings, four wings, and even six wings.
The Blood Clan could bring their bloodline even closer to the Ancestor.
This also applied to the Demon Spirit Shark; it had to be consumed clean before returning.
So neither the Blood Clan nor the Crow-men would easily let go of the Curse Scythe.
Lin Suo made a realistic-looking fake.
By splitting a wisp of power, he diverted the attention of both parties, gaining a precious chance to leave.
Bringing the scythe into the Blood Clan’s territory and then intentionally letting the Crowman King discover it was meant to provoke a direct violent conflict.
Both parties would not give up on an opportunity that could easily enhance their strength.
Wait until the Demon Spirit Shark digests the energy of the Curse Scythe, then return to Koster to hand over the task item to Titan Migaron.
The relevant task process has already been documented.
It was all carefully written by him, with no logical loopholes.
Even the Crow-man corpse used to enhance the Shape Shifting Technique (dissection version) is prepared for submission.
This way, the issues with the Demon Spirit Shark will not be exposed.
This is actually exploiting the information gap.
The Demon Spirit Shark had been exposed in front of the members of the Judgment Committee, but they have no interactions with the Migaron family, and their symbiotic relationships are not public knowledge.
He just needs to keep it hidden until the moment he receives the reward!
As for the reward, he has already thought it through.
Rather than asking for resources, better to ask for channels and status. Once successful, his future promotion to Upper Grade Wizard will also no longer be troubled by restrictions on knowledge.
The plan is foolproof!
Lin Suo fully digested the energy within the Curse Scythe; unexpectedly, there was no feedback because the essence inside was the purest Curse Power!
It changed some of the innate qualities of the Demon Spirit Shark.
Like advancing from a hero model to a monarch model, the current changes are not significant, but its potential has undergone a tremendous transformation.
There is no discontent.
This harvest is bountiful, contentment brings happiness.
Lin Suo disembarked on a desolate beach, letting the "Synthetic Beast · Shark People" collectively return to Silver Fish Port.
He then headed towards Migaron Castle.
The Wave Breaking team, except for Sailer Migaron, was completely lost; after being delayed for so long, they probably thought he was dead.
It’s been a long time since he contacted civilization, and Lin Suo initially felt unfamiliar.
But soon, he was drawn in again by the revitalized city of Koster.
He even went to a giant beast restaurant and bought a box of meat pies to taste.
Over the years, his stored food was almost gone, and his palate was becoming bland; a long-missed satisfying meal was indeed delightful.
At the entrance of Migaron Castle that occupies half of the territory.
It was not long after Lin Suo declared his identity.
That Titan, the young master, rushed out, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a weathered face—it was Sailer!
From a distance, one could hear Titan’s enthusiastic call.
Lin Suo also welcomed him.
"Your Highness, good day."
"Why so formal with me, come on, let us brothers have a good catch-up."
Lin Suo smiled silently, just listening was enough—if he really believed that, he’d have nothing left.
He always remembers that he is from the Wild Party, a humble person who climbed up from the bottom, and is still a precarious solitary commander.
Titan kept talking about the changes over the past two years, and also mentioned the affairs of Rhein Castle, saying that during the two years Lin Suo disappeared, it was seized by an unwise minor noble.
Now, it has been taken down by his men, just waiting for him to return and take over everything again.
Sailer and Titan frequently toasted, talking for several hours until they finally brought up the main topic.
"Your Highness, I have fulfilled the mission successfully."
Lin Suo swiped over his Space Ring, and a three-meter-long elegant Black Scythe appeared on the dining table, rendering Titan’s face ecstatic.
"Excellent! Incredible!"
"I indeed did not misjudge you. As previously agreed, I’ll triple your reward, and how about I gift you several manors as well?"
"If that’s not satisfactory, there are many noble ladies in the Migaron family; dear brother, why not join my family and become real kinfolk with me?"
