The four slender arms tore Scale Concubine’s wrinkled skin to shreds.
After transforming into the Favored Believer, Scale Concubine had grown by a full head. When it stood up, most of the snake half of its body remained stuck to the ground. This made it seem only about 1.7 meters tall.
But now, it had actually reached 1.9 meters tall and was 10 centimeters taller than Lin Yuan.
However, the biggest change was the two new arms.
Scale Concubine could fire three energy arrows with its previous two hands. Now that it could fire twice that number, Scale Concubine’s combat power was greatly raised.
Its snake-hair was also thicker. The snakes were not just for decoration but were Scale Concubine’s strongest source of attacking power.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Scale Concubine.
[Alien Beast Name]: Medusa Snake Demon
[Lifeform State]: Dimensional lifeform (Favored Believer)
[Alien Beast Class]: Class 6
[Totem Faith]: Multi-Headed Lizard Totem
Natural Skill:
[Marsh Crocodile Song]: The song is sung to call and attract the Marsh Crocodiles up to one class above. After listening to the song for an hour, the Marsh Crocodiles will become completely infatuated and be utterly under the Medusa Snake Demon’s thumb.
Lin Yuan noticed that Scale Concubine’s Lifestyle State had changed after becoming the Favored Believer.
Besides that, Scale Concubine did not gain any new natural skills. However, the Marsh Crocodile Song had changed significantly.
Previously, only the Marsh Crocodiles that were of the same class and below could be controlled. But now, Scale Concubine could control the Marsh Crocodiles one class above it as well.
This meant that the Medusa Snake Demon could now control Class 8 Marsh Crocodiles.
Moreover, the control exerted was now completely perfect.
Lin Yuan asked the Medusa Snake Demon, “Can you control more Marsh Crocodiles than before?”
He wanted to know if Scale Concubine’s ability to control had improved.
Scale Concubine hastily replied, “Previously, I was able to control 300 Marsh Crocodiles but only 3 if they were Class 7. Now, many more Marsh Crocodiles will gather toward me, and I can control five times the number of Marsh Crocodiles now. I can control 1,000 without any problems, but 1,500 will be a difficult feat. However, I can only control three Class 8 Marsh Crocodiles and more than 10 Class 7 Marsh Crocodiles.”
Lin Yuan clapped his hands because this meant that the shield of Marsh Crocodiles would become more secure now.
After checking the time, Lin Yuan left the marsh world.
It was already 3:00 a.m. He sighed and said, “I burned the midnight oil again!”
He wanted to hand the slumbering Wendy to Scale Concubine, but the latter seemed afraid to receive its daughter. Thus, Lin Yuan placed Wendy on Rising Lizard’s back so that it could watch over Wendy.
Since both were Apostles, Rising Lizard would not cause Wendy any fear.
The territory in the marsh world had been settled, and the Marsh Crocodiles under Scale Concubine’s control had started defending the area. However, Lin Yuan had not achieved his goal of expanding into the marsh world.
He would need to search the main world for the resources that he required to expand into the marsh world.
Lin Yuan left the Kill Food Sky Butterfly in the marsh world while he returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Once he returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan changed out of his mud-covered clothes and left the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He had wanted to go to rest before using the rest of the night to plan his expansion into his territory in the marsh world.
But when he entered the main hall, he saw Hu Quan swiftly crafting something on the table. The evolved Wood Weaving House Centipede was beside Hu Quan.
The light was off in the main hall, but the 99 Five Fortune Ranchu Spirit-Siphon Goldfish emitted spirit qi, which faintly reflected off the jade-textured furniture.
However, Hu Quan’s current project was shining much brighter.
Lin Yuan peered closer and realized that Hu Quan was weaving various Defined Life elemental pearls with the silk from the Wood Weaving House Centipede.
Hu Quan weaved 24 Defined Life elemental pearls into a beautiful chain.
Lin Yuan could not help but want to touch the string of pearls.
Hu Quan had noticed Lin Yuan and waved the string of pearls in the air as he said, “Lin Yuan, what do you think of this string of pearls? The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and Heavenly Craft Pavilion are planning on holding a joint auction. I’m planning on putting this Defined Life string of pearls up for auction to shake up the crowd. However, most people won’t be able to afford this string of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layer that was made by me, a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.”
Lin Yuan gave Hu Quan a thumb’s up and replied, “Uncle Hu, your skills are getting better by the day. The threads are even softer than silk. Every point of contact with the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls has a faint dignified air that’s unique to jade-textured wood. Not only did you maintain the value of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, but you even managed to suppress the strong brightness that comes from the outer layer.”
A thought seemed to strike Lin Yuan at that moment, and he added, “Uncle Hu, I wanted to ask you to help me with something. But now, I think I have two favors to ask.”
Lin Yuan shook his hand and took out the brocade box that was on the table in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He opened the box facing Hu Quan.
Hu Quan’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he laid eyes on the box’s contents.
Despite being a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan could not help but say in a quivering voice, “Lin Yuan, where did you get something so great!?”
