Wen Wen observantly sized up Xiao Jiang, "Let me ask a small question, why do you call yourself Xiao Jiang? When I see you, I always think of ketchup that has achieved sentience."
Xiao Jiang turned his head away, ignoring Wen Wen's provocation.
Wen Wen chuckled lightly, "Your nickname is Beast of Revelry. It's said you were infected by a motherless zombie, which turned you into this monstrous appearance. But I know very well what infected individuals look like, and it has nothing to do with you..."
"So... what turned you into this state is likely something similar to what's in this box, and that's precisely why you crave the contents of this box."
"As for why you like to eat members of the Jerboa tribe as snacks... it's probably because their birth is also related to similar blood."
Xiao Jiang didn't answer. He sat on the ground in a lotus position, smiling as he looked at the five spears, implicitly acknowledging Wen Wen's words.
To verify his theory, Wen Wen called over a small Jerboa tribesman, placed his hand on the creature's head, and sensed the power flowing within its blood. He could only faintly perceive a trace of the aura of a Celestial God.
This minuscule amount of blood was almost negligible, possibly even just a few insignificant blood cells within the Jerboa's body.
Yet, this faint power had transformed this race from weak creatures at the bottom of the food chain into a monstrous tribe possessing supernatural abilities.
Xiao Jiang, on the other hand, might have only had one or two drops of blood, and this had transformed him from a super-powered individual into the bizarre creature he was now.
The box stored in the ancestral hall of the Bìshǔ Villa, though appearing as a mass, contained only a few drops of truly potent blood. If Xiao Jiang were to consume this blood, he might directly ascend to the True Order level.
"The blood of Star Realm Gods and Spirit Realm Gods merely contains immense power, but the blood of Celestial Gods is so miraculous..."
Wen Wen scratched his head. Currently, there were three Celestial Gods related to him.
One was Mo Gong, the demon, who was once a Celestial God but no longer possessed that power.
Another was the Moon Goddess, who had left a mark within Wen Wen's body, making her somewhat allied with him.
The last was the patron of Plague Lord, the Lord of Death's Omen, the Celestial God Yugmoth. He hoped this fellow wouldn't specifically seek revenge.
As he thought, Wen Wen shivered.
A scene suddenly appeared in his mind: the Celestial God Yugmoth riding a small electric scooter to find trouble with him, only to be fined for illegal riding...
Wen Wen abruptly shook his head, dispelling the image, and then marveled at the capabilities of Celestial God blood.
Just a little blood had such an effect; what kind of power would a large amount possess?
What kind of miraculous energy would be contained in the blood of the Supreme Ruler above the Celestial Gods?
Wen Wen shook his head. Those were still somewhat distant. He turned to look at Xiao Jiang, "Since you can't run away now anyway, would you be willing to come with me?"
"It's a very interesting place. The people there speak very nicely, and I also have a great treasure that can keep you very entertained." Su Dan Novel Network
The great treasure he spoke of was the Mirror Labyrinth. The Mirror Labyrinth's functions had been greatly enriched, and it should satisfy Xiao Jiang's needs.
Although Wen Wen didn't particularly fancy Xiao Jiang, he still needed to keep Xiao Jiang happy for now, in order to strip away Xiao Jiang's happiness later.
Making him happy now was like giving him his last meal.
Xiao Jiang showed slight interest, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I guarantee you've never played with anything like it."
After reaching a temporary agreement with Xiao Jiang, Wen Wen snapped his fingers. Another rune array appeared, projecting a black curtain that temporarily enveloped their surroundings. When the curtain disappeared, Xiao Jiang had also vanished from everyone's sight.
"The bounty is complete... I should go find something interesting to play with."
Wen Wen gazed into the distance, a smile appearing on his face. Before the battle began, Sifolmu had been watching from afar, and Wen Wen was acknowledging him.
From the beginning of the journey, he had known that Sifolmu had ulterior motives for being there and had been secretly investigating all the passengers.
However, Wen Wen wasn't particularly interested in this. He only wanted to accomplish his own goals during this journey. As long as Sifolmu didn't interfere with him, he wouldn't expose him.
In fact, after Xiao Jiang's attack, Sifolmu had set out to find Wen Wen. He also had the location of Bìshǔ Villa provided by Aosinuo.
But due to getting lost, he had only managed to arrive nearby just as the battle began.
Atai Ya and the Jerboa Overlord looked at Wen Wen with reverence. They were worthy of being invited by Lord Aosinuo. The monster that they could barely contend with even with their full efforts was subdued by Wen Wen with a wave of his hand.
It was precisely because of the existence of countless such powerful individuals that the Hunter Association could firmly control this world.
Without giving them too much time to marvel, Wen Wen turned around, took out a chair from the containment facility, sat on it, leaned back with his legs crossed, and lightly rubbed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together.
"That guy just now wanted to wipe you all out, and with your strength, you couldn't catch him. Now that I've dealt with him, don't you owe me something?"
"That... what you mean is..."
"Of course, it's the reward. I saved both of your tribes; you should at least show some appreciation."
The Jerboa Overlord was stunned and cast a pleading glance at Atai Ya. Their Jerboa tribe was poor and had nothing to offer.
Atai Ya's perception of Wen Wen immediately turned sour. The Hunter Association must have many strong individuals like Wen Wen who exploited every opportunity, otherwise, how could they firmly control this world.
Wen Wen smiled. He had no particular affection for these cat-like rats, so he had to take advantage of any opportunity. Moreover, after collecting his payment here, he still had to find Aosinuo for the promised bounty...
...
Sifolmu tightly gripped the bloodthirsty flying head in his hand. Whether it was Xiao Jiang who had appeared earlier, the box held by Tao Qingqing, or the burly rats, all of them possessed the aura of divine blood.
This meant that divine blood was not exclusively found in the Cup of Divine Blood. Thus, finding the Cup of Divine Blood might be more difficult than he had imagined.
This place was the second stop of his journey. He wondered if he would have any new discoveries in future travels.
However, Wen Wen's strength was indeed growing stronger. He recalled a time when he was still stronger than Wen Wen, and now Sifolmu's strength had been far surpassed by Wen Wen.
"Damn it, if only I hadn't lost so much time getting lost, perhaps I would also be at the True Order level."
