1860 Sea Demon Sacrifice!
Lin Yuan could not help but become even more curious about how Shadow had disciplined the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. What had it done to terrify the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to such a degree?
As the major sea demon trembled with its eyes wide open, Lin Yuan prepared to comfort it and express his friendliness.
Lin Yuan smiled and walked over to the purple and gold cage that contained the major sea demon to open it.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan noticed that there was water below the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.
His eyebrow twitched wildly.
Since he had Blue Lotus’ blessing, water-type feys were naturally drawn to him. Yet the major sea demon was still so afraid that it lost control of its faculties?
Lin Yuan thought back to when he was a small stall owner who had just bought Genius and Chimey. Both of them had been similarly distressed.
It had taken Lin Yuan almost a week to build up a bond with Genius and Chimey so they would stop being scared of him.
Lin Yuan tried to move slowly while he instructed Dark Blue to produce a large ball of water with an area of 10 square meters. He placed the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water in the ball of water.
Major sea demons’ favorite environment was water.
Now that it was submerged in the water, the major sea demon slowly calmed down.
Lin Yuan and the sea demon did not share the same language.
Although both mermaids and sea demons had fishtails, they were completely different lifeforms.
Lin Yuan instructed Genius to use Connected Tails to create a bridge of communication for himself and the petrified major sea demon.
He used the most direct method to express his kindness to the major sea demon.
The major sea demon soon stopped trembling as Lin Yuan continued to express his kindness.
However, the sight it had witnessed was too horrifying. As such, the major sea demon was still wary of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan knew that he would not be able to remove this wariness through verbal communication.
He took a step forward and entered the ball of water.
Once he entered the ball of water, the silhouette of a mermaid appeared behind him, and he swam over to the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.
He placed his hands on the major sea demon’s shoulders and looked calmly into its eyes.
After half an hour of looking into Lin Yuan’s clear eyes, the major sea demon finally let down its guard.
Nonetheless, the major sea demon dared not even glance at Shadow.
Lin Yuan transmitted to the major sea demon through Connected Tails, “I am going to form a contract with you. Before the contraction, I will use the top-grade strange water Deep Ocean Frozen Water and five other types of high-grade strange water that suit you well to temper my body. After we form a contract, I will help you to raise your bloodline to emperor sea demon.”
He did not need to continuously prune the major sea demon before he formed a contract with it like he had to do with the devil.
After forming a contract with a spirit qi professional, a major sea demon would form a deep bond with its contractor like feys did. From then on, it would always place its contractor before anything else.
The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water had long become aware of its fate.
Due to its special nature, it had not been picked by anyone in the Azure Federation. This had greatly disheartened the major sea demon. All the other major sea demons from the same generation had been contracted ages ago. Meanwhile, it remained unwanted.
The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was not stupid. It knew why it had not been chosen yet.
In order to evolve its bloodline, it needed a massive amount of pure elemental energy and concentrated spirit qi.
However, this was not its weakness but because it was one of the rare sea demons that was a ‘Sacrifice’.
After evolving its bloodline to king sea demon, it would possess not only its life water but also the Poisonous Magic.
Every time the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was tossed aside by potential contractors, it could not help but fervently declare this special feature it had.
Alas, before it formed a contract with a spirit qi professional, they would not understand it.
Yet, a young man now said that he would immediately evolve it into emperor sea demon once they formed a contract.
The major sea demon was in disbelief. However, it did not put up any opposition.
This was because it did hope that it could find a contractor and because this young man’s eyes were too pure and reliable. As such, it wanted to believe this young man, even if what he said seemed practically impossible.
A moment later, the major sea demon gently nodded and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “It will be fine if you just contract and nurture me. It’s difficult to even evolve me to king sea demon, much less emperor sea demon. I am a Sacrifice. Thus, I need substantially more spirit qi and elemental energy than other sea demons. Please don’t be turned off by me!”
Lin Yuan was astonished when he heard this. But this almost immediately morphed into elation.
A Sacrifice! The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water said that it was a Sacrifice!
The legend of Sacrifices was recorded in the book ‘Annal of Monster Information’ that was in the Radiant Moon Palace. This book recorded numerous legends and covered the entire main world.
The legends in the book were so imaginative that no one put any stock in their legitimacy.
The Hidden Moon Pavilion usually did not keep such fictitious information, but the Moon Empress had verified one of the legends recorded in the book about feys with the Barren bloodline. Thus, the book was allowed to be stored in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.
Lin Yuan had been very interested in the book and remembered that the part about sea demon Sacrifices was written before page ten of the book.
‘Sea demon Sacrifices can use their bodies to carry out the will of magic-wielders. Once they evolve into kings, they will activate the Poisonous Magic to curse the world.’
When Lin Yuan first read this, he had no idea that sea demons came from the Lantis Mystic Realm. He assumed that the Annal of Monster Information was nothing more than a book of fantasy.
