Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Wetland

The director’s office.

On the bed in the partition, lay a youth with an expression of utter despair.

It seemed he had suffered severe ‘devastation,’ especially in terms of his body.

In Captain Shaia’s hand was a tube of blood that had been difficult to ‘extract’ from Han Dong’s body, rich in blood cells enough to detect the properties of the bloodline it contained.

No detection instruments were needed.

Captain Shaia herself was an exquisitely precise blood detection machine.

She directly drank the blood from the tube.

In an instant, Captain Shaia’s consciousness arrived deep within an ancient tomb, using the sensation of the blood to search through the tomb, all sorts of symbols belonging to the Mythical Field on stone tablets came into her view.

“A bloodline inheritance of mythic life? The Hall Family actually had such an opportunity…

But that would explain it.

Since the Hall Family couldn’t bear and fully control such a noble mythic blood, they mistook it as a curse… a curse that forced their family to slay evil things generation after generation.”

Nicholas, the boy, not only could bear this bloodline, but he also managed to drain all the blood from the family crypts in one swoop.

Such a body is really… splendid!”

With that thought.

Captain Shaia reached out to touch the youth on the sickbed.

The latter had no reaction, not even blinking an eye.

A whole day had passed since the two were alone, and just as Captain Shaia was preparing to continue her amusement… a message directly from the Demon King Castle made her face change.

“Hmm? A change in the terrain?”

Shaia quickly moved to the window to look at the eternal night scenery outside.

The first feeling was [Silence].

In Shaia’s dozens of times venturing out of the city, the area outside shouldn’t be so tranquil.

Even in the Eternal Night Area where no demons were active.

Stones exposed to the eternal night would rub against each other, trees would make ‘squelching’ noises with their suction cups, and whispers from beneath the ground could be heard.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

But outside it was unusually quiet.

Even when Shaia pushed open the window, it remained so.

Also, according to the information received… the Expeditionary Army left from Perugia, marching along the northward Strada Avenue, which should have avoided the forested area and proceeded on the relatively flat and open plain avenue.

But right now, the Expeditionary Force had entered a [Wetland] full of bushy plants and a high water content.

This significantly restricted the marching speed.

Captain Shaia took out a map in her hand, from the Expeditionary Force that passed this area a year and a half ago, “Strange… such a big change in just one and a half years? Territorial coverage?”

At that moment.

Han Dong, who had just changed his clothes, also came to the window, staring at the eerily quiet wetland area.

“Captain Shaia, can the Eye of Expedition see the edge of this wetland?”

“Compared to the typical Eternal Night environment, the visibility range is reduced to 50%… unable to see the boundary.

The size of the wetland is beyond imagination. Estimating based on the available information, the wetland may cover more than 40% of the central part of Yidalos.

The Great Demon commander seriously suspects that the demon coalition forces may launch a surprise attack on us in this region.

Furthermore, during several hours of marching through the wetland, some knights exhibited symptoms of ‘excessive humidity’ and have been sent to the hospital for examination and treatment.

The main forces will be stationed in the wetland for a while, to conduct an investigation on the [Wetland].”

“Captain Shaia, what exactly is the situation with the knights suffering from ‘excessive humidity’? May I go see them?”

“Hmm… Follow me.”

Three knights, who are all sensory personnel with relatively weaker bodies and below the rank of “Fifth Order Knight,” have been admitted to the hospital in a rather bad condition.

Engulfed in Holy Light, they were directly taken to the isolation room.

It was Captain Shaia’s permission that allowed Han Dong to have direct contact with the patients.

The “Blood Replacement Therapy” has been completed by now.

The swelling and some blisters have also subsided, and the knights have returned to a normal state… however, the blood that was extracted contained some terrifying things.

“What is… this?”

In just a few seconds, a large number of ‘tadpole-like creatures’ have appeared in a tank of the exchanged blood.

Without the constraints of a body, these creatures are proliferating and growing wildly.

And as the number of tadpoles increases, the blood becomes more diluted, slowly turning into a pool of clear water.

Until…

Croak! A toad suddenly jumped out, immediately annihilated by a wisp of Black Sand released by Han Dong.

With one hand stroking his chin, Han Dong said indifferently, “After the nutrients in the blood are consumed, the reproduction and growth also stop.

Captain Shaia, may I take some samples?”

“You may… What’s on your mind?”

“At first glance, it’s best not to send knights with poor physical constitution and low ranks to investigate the wetlands any longer.

How to effectively counter the ‘Wetland Effect’ still needs research.”

“Alright, you should go back to your squad… The hospital might get busy, I’ll call you when needed.”

Before leaving, Han Dong whispered in Captain Shaia’s ear to confirm one thing, “There’s a high possibility of a demon attacking this area. If there’s a chance, I’ll sign up directly.”

“Hmm, be careful.

Collaborate with Lucius if you get the opportunity.”

“Okay.”

With a test tube in hand, Han Dong returned to his squad, not waiting for Mia to pounce before immediately finding another man.

“Dumps, come with me, I’ve obtained samples of the wetland symptoms from the hospital… I need to confirm something.”

In the blink of an eye, the two men secretly teleported to the backyard of the Scarlet Manor.

To ensure biodiversity, Han Dong had transformed the backyard area into a massive artificial lake… It was filled with conches and seawater, allowing the Fishmen under his command at Ostia Port to live there.

Currently.

An ugly-faced old man, with his eyeballs completely bulging out and his jaw stacked up, was leisurely fishing by the river.

[Count Denox Leter], the highest administrator within Han Dong’s jurisdiction at Ostia Port.

Like the Scarlet Count, he is a [Mature Body-Demon].

However, he himself has ‘aged excessively.’

As mentioned earlier, the port is merely a ‘Deep Sea Nursing Home,’ where some excessively aged or gravely injured deep-sea creatures stay, living out their remaining years through conch dreams.

Count Leter, severely aged as he is, might not even be able to defeat a Newborn demon.

But… due to his old age, he knows a lot about the Deep Sea.

“Messenger, you have arrived!”

“Count Leter, I’d like to ask you about something. Have you seen this creature before?”

Han Dong passed over the test tube.

Count Leter stared at the strange tadpole swimming inside, thought for a moment, “Is this ‘the tadpole of the Toad Ancestor’?”
