Chapter 779: Chapter 29 Innate Demon Technique, Demon Star Tower Reconnaissance Mission_2

"Perhaps you could ask them if anyone is willing to teach you. If they are, then naturally, I won’t interfere."

Xiao Jie immediately looked towards the crowd, but everyone turned their heads away, unwilling to engage with him.

Xiao Jie felt a bit helpless. This was understandable, as the saying goes, ’teaching a disciple robs a master of his livelihood,’ let alone an innate demonic technique which is their means of living.

This could be a bit troublesome. I had thought it would be simpler.

But there are other methods. If it comes to that, I can release Big Orange and capture another demon beast as a pet, then learn from my new pet.

But Big Orange has been with me for so long, and he’s a top-grade pet with a four-stage advanced enhancement. I’d be really reluctant to let him go.

Also, I can’t capture a demon beast that’s too strong, and those that are too weak won’t have impressive techniques to teach me. This is also troublesome.

While deep in thought.

Master Xiao Yue looked at the distant fog and suddenly smiled.

"However, it’s not entirely impossible. Currently, the world is in crisis. I know about Long Wushang’s uprising, and I’ve been following the movements at Soul Suppressing Pass. And now, the Demon Star Tower has also begun to stir. Indeed, times are tough.

In extraordinary times, we have to do extraordinary things. If you can perform a significant merit, I can have them teach you the innate demonic technique. If you help me with a task, I will go all out and compel them to teach you."

Xiao Jie was taken aback. He had made it sound so difficult before; suddenly—this mission must be dangerous.

"What instructions do you have for me, Master?"

"Haha, the young man knows his way. Look over there to the south."

Xiao Jie looked towards the south of the Great Wall but saw nothing but a vast, scarlet mist extending beyond the horizon.

The entire area south of the Great Wall seemed to be shrouded in this strange mist.

"What’s the deal with this mist?"

"This mist is summoned by the hybrids from the Demon Star Tower. Recently, the tower has gone mad with their siege attempts, yet they only send cannon fodder. The true elites are nowhere to be seen. If I am not mistaken, they are plotting some scheme.

This mist is used to conceal their movements.

To figure out what they are planning, I have sent several Heavenly Feather Army squads for reconnaissance, but they all disappeared without a trace.

If you can go to the Demon Star Tower, uncover their plan, and bring back specific intelligence, I will have them teach you the innate demonic technique. How about it?

System prompt: Task triggered [Investigate the Demon Star Tower], head to the Demon Star Tower to find out what’s happening.

Task Reward: Innate Demonic Technique x1.

A dialogue box popped up in front of him.

Option 1: Such a trivial matter, Master awaits my good news. Watch me figure out the situation at the Demon Star Tower. (Accept task).

Option 2: This task is too challenging, as my strength is limited. To avoid messing up the Master’s plans, please find someone else more capable. (Decline task).

Option 3: This matter is of great importance. I need to study it carefully before making a decision (Gather information).

Xiao Jie thought, "This mission is indeed extremely dangerous, the Demon Star Tower is the stronghold of the monster forces."

This kind of task can’t be taken lightly. He promptly chose the third option.

"This matter is of great importance. I need to study it carefully before making a decision. May I ask some questions?"

"Go ahead."

"What is the strength of the demons in the Demon Star Tower? How many monsters like the one leading the demon army earlier are there in the tower?"

Master Xiao Yue said, "Don’t worry, there are no more than ten like the one we encountered earlier."

Then he began to describe the monster composition in the Demon Star Tower to Xiao Jie.

At the lowest level of the Demon Star Tower are various hybrids, the products of random crossbreeding among monsters. Aside from a few with unique abilities, most are cannon fodder with uneven combat abilities, generally weak.

Some even lack any combat abilities and can’t even move, serving only as food for other demons.

Stronger ones are the derivative demons. These derivatives are often mass-produced from a successful prototype through cloning. Of course, demons call this derivation technique. Human-faced Zhe used this type of spell.

These derivative demons have identical biological traits due to mass cloning, so they exist as biological groups within the Demon Star Tower. Each group forms a force, and because their prototypes have strong traits, derivative demons often excel in certain areas and serve various specific roles.

These constitute the regular army of the Demon Star Tower.

Even stronger are the evolved demons. These are typically selected from hybrid demons; some with stronger abilities emerge during the crossbreeding process. These individuals receive enhancements from Demon Star Blood, becoming evolved types.

Evolved types have high combat abilities and bizarre powers, often tasked with special missions. For example, Demon Star Tower Envoys are usually evolved types.

The most powerful are the demon masters. They have extremely long lifespans, living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Some were powerful demons even before the arrival of the Demon Star.

After receiving enhancements from Demon Star Blood, they acquired a special technique to graft body parts from other demons onto themselves, gaining an unending array of demonic abilities.

With thousands of years of continuous cultivation, their physical bodies are incredibly strong, and they can use multiple powerful demon arts.

Each one is an absolute powerhouse.

Demon masters can use themselves as a blueprint to create large numbers of derivative demons, making each master a force to be reckoned with.

Additionally, they use the power of Demon Star Blood in their bodies to enslave other demons.

The core of the Demon Star Tower’s forces is formed by a ruling class composed of several upper demon masters.

Xiao Jie calculated in his mind that as long as he didn’t encounter a demon master, he should be fine.

Even if faced with an evolved demon, he believed he could handle it with his strength.

If worst comes to worst, he could use the Escape Light Talisman to flee.

The Escape Light Talisman required three seconds of guided casting, but the Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow provided five seconds of invincibility, meaning that if he wanted to escape, the combo would ensure no one could capture him.

This task was doable.

However, a single innate demonic technique as a reward seemed too little.

"I’ll take this task, but how many innate demonic techniques can I learn? Could I learn as many as I want?"

Master Xiao Yue shook his head, "There’s no such thing as unlimited learning. Innate demonic techniques are the foundation of each clan’s means of living. Even if I forcefully order it, you can learn at most one or two."

"One or two is too few. I need ten or eight to be useful."

"Ten or eight...don’t joke. How about this, you can learn two techniques."

"How about five? You said the world is in crisis, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! I’m risking my life for this."

"Three techniques, no more."

"Deal."

[System prompt: Task accepted [Investigate the Demon Star Tower].

Task Reward: Innate Demonic Technique x3.]

Three innate demonic techniques, and I can choose them freely. This reward is indeed generous. Although the auction house sells various demonic techniques, they are mostly general demon skills.

Such innate demonic techniques cannot be used even after transformation unless it’s a demon beast transformation.

This deal is worth it. Xiao Jie scanned the diverse demons around him, planning which techniques to learn.

But to earn the reward, he had to complete the task first.

The task required uncovering the Demon Star Tower’s plot, meaning he had to infiltrate the tower for reconnaissance. This would be difficult.

Moreover, since he had already used Jiao Long Transformation today, combat was out of the question. He needed to find a way to infiltrate.

Luckily, he had the Phantom Spirit Pearl. As long as he got close to the Demon Star Tower, he could disguise himself as a demon, which shouldn’t be a problem.

"Master, await my good news. Watch me uncover the truth at the Demon Star Tower."

Xiao Jie said, then his form shifted—Gray Eagle Transformation!

He instantly turned into a gray eagle and soared into the sky.

With a flick of his wings, he flew towards the dense mist south of the Great Wall.
