Chapter 307: Gadfly Demon and Jade Crystal Yellow Pearl
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The room was not big and was surrounded by steel plates.
Opposite the door, there was actually a wall of memorial tablets erected. Most of the memorial tablets had words like “Turtle Spirit Clan’s XXXth patriarch, XXX.”
“So, this is an ancestral hall?”
Lin Yan looked at the tablets carefully and quickly realized that the order of the tablets was rather strange.
The first tablet was empty, and the second tablet was written as the 53rd generation. The last one at the bottom was the 82nd generation.
However, there was none before the 53rd generation.
At this moment, the golden ball trembled slowly, as if it had sent some information to Captain Song.
Perhaps it was because the golden ball and Captain Song had been in contact for a long time, so he was very clear about the messy information of the golden ball. Captain Song instantly understood what the golden ball meant.
His face lit up at first. “The Holy Mother can actually send me a message from afar!”
However, after understanding what the golden ball meant, the joy and anger on his face immediately froze before turning into doubt and disbelief.
“Holy Mother, you’re saying that you want me to tell this unknown person who hid his true appearance about the Gadfly Demon? How can that be?!”
The golden ball trembled slowly, as if a powerful might was transmitted.
Captain Song’s face instantly turned pale, and sweat appeared on his forehead. “Holy Mother, calm down. I’m not suspecting you, but…”
The golden ball trembled again, and its aura became even stricter.
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
Captain Song’s clear old face scrunched up like an aggrieved wife. He suddenly said, “That Holy Mother, we have to let him show his figure, right?”
Before Lin Yan could refuse, the golden ball trembled again. Captain Song looked even more aggrieved. “Yes, I’ll tell you immediately…”
Lin Yan couldn’t keep up with the speed of the golden ball’s words. He only watched as Captain Song acted alone. In the next moment, he saw Captain Song’s face darken as the man started talking to himself.
The golden ball jumped beside him at the right time, indicating for him to listen to Captain Song.
As Captain Song explained bit by bit, Lin Yan gradually understood that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body was actually parasitized by a demon called Gadfly!
This Gadfly Demon had extremely strong survivability. It would always lay eggs on the surface of the flesh wall of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. After hatching, it would devour the flesh and blood of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and grow quickly.
The spots of parasitism were often extremely hidden. Before it hatched into a larva, it would completely hide under the flesh wall of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, making it extremely difficult to discover.
Once it hatched into a larva, it would quickly devour the flesh and blood of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. In a short period of time, it would grow to a few meters long and burrow into the depths of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body.
“The most troublesome thing is the Gadfly Demon cannot be killed through ordinary methods!”
Although Captain Song was unhappy, he still said word by word, “The Gadfly doesn’t have any vital points. Even if its body is cut into pieces, every piece is alive! It will continue to enter the Holy Mother’s body and quickly devour her flesh and blood to grow into a new Insect Demon!
“Therefore, if we’re careless and cause the Gadfly Demons to be damaged or broken, not only will it not be able to resolve the problem, it will even create more than ten or even dozens of Gadfly Demons, causing a catastrophic effect!”
Captain Song narrowed his eyes and warned sternly, “Although I don’t know what method you used to confuse the Holy Mother and actually make me tell you this extremely secret matter, other than our Turtle Spirit Clan, no one can safely deal with the Gadfly Demon! I’m warning you not to take action casually. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to help the Holy Mother, you will even harm her!”
Lin Yan recalled that back then, the silver-armored soldiers’ hands emitted a greenish-blue halo. Clearly, that was a method to deal with the Gadfly Demons.
Unexpectedly, the golden ball suddenly trembled again and said something to Captain Song.
Captain Song’s body stiffened. “Holy Mother! The Heaven Domination Technique is our race’s secret inheritance. How can it be easily imparted to outsiders!”
The golden ball seemed to be impatient and buzzed non-stop. Captain Song’s face was filled with sorrow, like a loyal minister who had encountered a tyrannical and incompetent ruler. In the end, his entire body trembled slightly and he said with tears in his eyes, “If the Holy Mother says so, then…”
Lin Yan pinched Old Qin and secretly sent a message through Mind Connection Technique. “Old Qin, didn’t you say that the Holy Mother is very kind to humans? Why does she seem to be very strict and vigilant against her believers?”
Old Qin’s voice was also strange. “In my memory, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the Turtle Spirit Clan are extremely harmonious. At the very least, it’s impossible for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother to treat them like this.”
Lin Yan nodded slightly. “Also, Captain Song. Since the Turtle Spirit Clan treats the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother as a god, they shouldn’t have questioned her many times. However, he dares to refute the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother again and again. He doesn’t look like a god, like a subject facing a king.”
Gods were gods, and monarchs were monarchs. The status of the two could not be the same. If Captain Song really treated the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother as a god, he would not have the courage to refute her.
Lin Yan thought of the huge golden ball of consciousness that was as big as the sun.
“Could it be that after the calamity of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, she sealed herself, causing her to be unable to show her divinity, and causing the belief of the Turtle Spirit Race to decrease?
“Or maybe, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is not as simple as she looks…”
Lin Yan couldn’t tell for a moment and decided to wait and see.
Captain Song walked forward in a daze and opened the iron door.
Then, he turned around. He couldn’t tell where Lin Yan was. He could only grit his teeth and whisper, “Come, follow me!”
Lin Yan followed casually, but he had no intention of showing himself.
Captain Song couldn’t tell if Lin Yan had followed him or not, so he could only go out again. As he closed the ancestral hall door tightly, he walked to the door on the right side and took out the key to open the door. He turned the door knocker and opened it.
He looked aggrieved and angry.
The moment Lin Yan followed him in, he immediately understood why Captain Song was acting like this.
The room in front of him was much larger than the ancestral hall. It was actually a treasure warehouse!
There were many rare treasures on the shelves on both sides. Coral gems and strange metals looked divine and extremely magical. They were probably gathered from the underwater world.
“Hmm? This is…”
Lin Yan walked forward in two to three steps. In the middle of the warehouse, there was a square glass box.
The inside of the box was covered with a layer of red cloth. It was completely flat, and there were twenty to thirty small wooden boxes inside. The wooden boxes were opened, and in each wooden box was a bright yellow bead.
They were of different sizes. The big ones were the size of longans, and the small ones were the size of little fingers.
Its surface was enshrouded in light, like agate yellow jade, but it also contained a halo. It was extremely beautiful.
If it was just beautiful, it wouldn’t be enough to attract Lin Yan’s attention. However, this yellow bead emitted a strange attraction. It was actually an Unusual Item!
The golden ball also sensed Lin Yan’s interest and quickly jumped up in excitement. As if it was seeking credit, it sent a string of chaotic messages to Old Qin and Lin Yan.
“Big Brother, this guy said that if you like these things, it still has a lot of them. It can give them all to you!”
Actually, the golden ball was clearly saying, “If Mom likes them, I’ll give them all to you.”
However, Old Qin did not dare to say the word “Mom”.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and sent a message with his Mind Connection Technique. “What Unusual Item is this?”
The golden ball trembled again, but it did not answer him. Instead, it sent a message to Captain Song.
Captain Song shuddered. “Holy Mother, the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearl is a precious Unusual Item for our race’s Heaven Domination Technique to advance to the Noble Realm. Every single one of them was exchanged with the lives of our race’s disciples! You can’t casually give it to outsiders!”
The golden ball shook impatiently. This time, Captain Song heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re not giving it to anyone. It’s just an introduction. That’s good.”
Captain Song introduced that the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearl was an Unusual Item that grew in the body of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. There were Yellow Grade, Black Grade, and even Jade Grade ones!
They did not know how it was produced. They only knew that it was occasionally produced in the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body.
Captain Song sighed, “It’s just that now, the Gadfly Demons occupy many domains in the Holy Mother’s body, so it’s extremely difficult to obtain the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls. Not to mention Jade Grade, even Black Grade ones only have a few left…”
The golden ball trembled again, as if it was urging him.
Captain Song hurriedly said, “Yes, I’ll go to the inheritance jade now.”
As he spoke, he walked deeper into the warehouse and came to the end. Here, the wall was also paved with steel plates. In the middle of the steel plate walls, there was a short white jade stick about the length of a baby’s arm. It was embedded in the middle of the wall.
Captain Song looked unwilling. “The ‘Heaven Domination Technique’ is an ancient inheritance, a supreme cultivation technique that surpasses true martial arts!
“Thus, the method of inheritance cannot be written on paper. Instead, one must rely on the jade pillar of inheritance.”
Lin Yan looked at the jade pillar. It was ordinary. There was nothing special about it except that it was beautiful.
“What’s the principle of passing down the legacy through jade?”
