After returning to the Dragon Nest, Udi stuffed a few Demon Eye Tumors into the mouth of the Jade Poison Python.
Based on this month’s research, although the exact principle is unclear, if the Demon Eye Tumor attaches to the body of a high-level creature, then after nightfall, the number of Demon Eye Tumors proliferated will be more and larger.
In summary, Udi plans to use this Jade Poison Python as the mother body for producing Demon Eye Tumors. There’s no need to worry about the Jade Poison Python’s corpse rotting because creatures parasitized by Demon Eye Tumors maintain a strange activity. Over ti, the strength of the corpse even slowly increases... the essence of this power is truly incomprehensible to the Dragon.
This is also why Udi can’t help but suspect that the essence of this power cos from the Evil God.

Higlind family, Pross Town territory.
The outskirts of the town are undergoing expansion every day, and the population migrating here and the adventurers arriving are increasing.
At the town gate, dozens of people with several carts full of demon and beast carcasses ca over from afar.
There were still traces of dark red blood not wiped clean on their armor, and many were injured, wrapped in healing bandages. After all, mages are scarce, let alone those proficient in Healing Techniques.
Even those proficient in Healing Techniques often need to conserve their magic power for dangerous situations, making it impossible to waste precious magic power on minor injuries. This is a rule that applies to most adventurer guilds.
As the group approached the town gate, many adventurers around recognized this recently rising adventurer guild—Wolf Adventurer’s Guild.
The most distinctive mark is the wolf’s head engraved on their chest armor and magic robes, howling at the sky, a pitch-black emblem.
"Tsk tsk, this new Wolf Adventurer’s Guild is really fierce, often able to hunt Interdiate Demons."
"And not just any Interdiate Demon, look, this ti they’ve hunted a Shadow Leopard, which is a Level 7 Demon. The Shadow Leopard’s hide can be used to make top-grade Interdiate Enchanted Leather Armor, which is absolutely top-grade equipnt for thieves and rangers; it can sell for a lot of money... plus other scattered low-level demons, how much money will they make this trip?"
Around them, adventurers were whispering with their companions, eyes filled with envy and reverence for the strong.
Even though the quality of adventurers here in Pross Town is higher than in other Wasteland towns, adventurer guilds capable of hunting Interdiate Demons are still very rare.
In fact, the number of adventurers who have reached the middle-level profession isn’t small; the permanent plus the transient ones in Pross Town number in the dozens, but there are only a few teams that can hunt Interdiate Demons.
The reasons are many; one is that most mid-level professionals are at Levels 5-6, mainly polished over ti and age. Their experience might be considered rich, but their combat power is not impressive, especially when fighting physically powerful demons with spell-like abilities. Human professionals of the sa level are usually at a disadvantage.
After the Wolf rcenary Corps returned to the town, they exchanged the hunted demon beasts for money and then rented out a tavern to celebrate all night.
Night, third floor of the tavern.
The core five mbers of the Wolf rcenary Corps gathered here.
The warrior profession leader, the thief profession Ossai with beautiful short purple hair, the female bard profession Marsi, the tall half-elf boy Ryze of the mage profession, and the silent golden-haired giant also of the warrior profession.
"Leader, it’s been over a month, and it’s so boring here.... So, when can we take action?.... Why don’t we just go to Wit Castle and capture that Mage Wit, and interrogate him for information?" Ossai habitually tossed a black dagger in his hand, unable to help suggesting.
"Did you forget the reconnaissance we did at Wit Castle before? There are at least two to three hundred soldiers inside, not only well-equipped but also quite strong. Are you confident you won’t cause a big commotion while secretly capturing that Interdiate Mage?" Marsi countered.
Ossai was a bit speechless, "How could that be possible, the castle is only so big, with so many soldiers. Even if we sneaked in, we’d be discovered sooner or later.... I just thought.... never mind, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Marsi rolled her eyes at him, "Invisible, huh? Mages at the Interdiate level are usually older, definitely talented, and would likely place spells like a magic alarm bell in hidden places, no, they definitely would...."
Saying this, Marsi also felt a bit troubled. Although she scorned Ossai, leaving the problem unsolved wasn’t a solution either. Turning to their pondering leader, she couldn’t help asking,
"Leader, don’t you have any thods? Ossai’s other words might be brainless, but he did make one point—here we’ve been stuck in this dump for over a month... I’ve used up all my backup pearl powder."
Pearl Powder is a favorite costic among many female adventurers, used to improve skin condition. However, its production is limited and expensive, so it isn’t available in many small places.
"So, you’re thinking about buying Pearl Powder, huh?" Ossai thought to himself, but he dared not say it aloud, or Marsi would certainly roast him for half a day.
The leader, who had been lost in thought, finally ca back to his senses. He coughed lightly and looked at his most trusted four companions, smiling as he spoke,
