From the desolate building, Dean found a familiar feeling. He walked along the edge of the street. Skeletons of dead monsters could be seen everywhere on the ground, as well as huge footprints covered with wet moss. In the three hundred years of disaster, this soil had been baptized by too many monsters, and it had long been muddy.
After walking for four or five miles, Aisha suddenly said, "Change the road. There are monsters ahead."
"Okay." Dean immediately changed the route. Although Aisha's wounds had only healed and her strength had not yet recovered, the perception ability of her body organs was not something he could match.
After taking a long detour, the two continued to move forward.
Along the way, with Aisha's reminder, Dean did not encounter any dangerous high-level monsters. As for some dense ordinary Undeads and small monsters, he could kill them easily, and there was no need to hide.
Half an hour later, the two came to the Shadow Hunter's cave.
"Someone has been here?" Dean's face changed slightly when he saw the footprints left in front of the cave. He stepped forward and carefully examined it. He found that the number of footprints was messy. From the depth of the footprints, there were a total of seven people!
This was the number of people in the Dragon Guard Squad!
"It's the footprints of the Dragon Guard." Aisha glanced at it and looked into the cave, saying, "It's probably the exploration team that came with me to find the Wing Clan's Parna. They found this place and asked the Dragon Guard to transplant the eggs inside. Let's go in and have a look."
"The Dragon Guard?" Dean was surprised, "How do you know?"
"I recognize the lines on the soles of the boots," Aisha said and walked into the cave.
Dean woke up. He didn't expect that the lines on the soles of the boots could also be her means of identification. He felt that he had learned another trick.
After entering the cave, Dean noticed that the footprints led to the depths of the cave. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He thought he could steal a few more eggs for collection, but now it seemed that they had all been handed over.
"This time, with so many legendary monsters' eggs, the Dragon Clan should be able to cultivate a lot of strong people, right?" Dean said, "It should not be the first time something like this has happened in the Wasteland for so many years. So, the Dragon Clan's Pioneers all have legendary magic marks?"
Aisha shook her head slightly and said, "The reason why legendary magic marks are called legendary magic marks is that the number of people with legendary magic marks is extremely small. It doesn't mean that one can get legendary magic marks by getting legendary Parasitic Soul Worm."
"What do you mean?" Dean was puzzled.
"The absorption of the legendary Parasitic Soul Worm is different from that of other Parasitic Soul Worms. The host can easily be devoured by the Parasitic Soul Worm and become an insect man! Aisha turned to look at him: "You live outside the giant wall so your information is limited. The highest level outside the giant wall is hunter level. So you don't know that there are conditions for magic marks replacement. Not everyone can replace magic marks."
Dean was startled. He suddenly remembered the time when he absorbed the Splitter's Parasitic Soul Worm. At that time, the Parasitic Soul Worm drilled into his body and desperately drilled into his head. Fortunately, he pinched his neck so that the Splitter's Parasitic Soul Worm couldn't find a place to rest. Only then did it reside in the magic mark nest on his chest.
It seemed that if it had drilled into his brain at that time, he would have most likely become the "Insect Man" that Aisha had mentioned.
Although he didn't know what the bugmen looked like, just the name alone made him feel nauseous.
"There are conditions for magic mark replacement?" Dean looked at her with a hint of asking for advice. He knew that the information in this world was blocked by layers of barriers. It was difficult to get complete information with his previous identity, and even false information.
"Yes." Aisha said: "You also know that the higher the physique, the more parts of the body will transform. This is caused by the magic marks. If you rashly replace the magic marks when there are too many beastified parts, then it will be very difficult for the body that has already been transformed to accept the transformation of the new magic marks. It may even conflict with each other and cause unpredictable consequences. The most serious possibility is death! "
"And if you are a little bit lucky, your consciousness will collapse, your body will swell, and you will become a strange and ugly inhuman bloodthirsty monster."
"So, if the physique is too high, the magic marks will be fixed and can't be replaced." Aisha turned to look at Dean and said: "You are very lucky to get legendary magic marks at the hunter stage. Generally speaking, even if you evolve to the senior hunter stage, the risk of magic mark replacement is only about 20%. Unless you are very unlucky, most people will be fine."
Dean was startled.
"So, even if we get a lot of these Shadow Hunter eggs, we can only give them to the potential newcomers in the family. As for those who have already become Frontiersman and Pioneer, their magic marks have been fixed, so they can't use them."
Aisha said: "And the problem is here. Although the resistance of the magic marks is less when replacing the new hunter with the legendary magic marks, so there won't be any danger, the legendary Parasitic Soul Worm itself is very dangerous! It can't be subdued by ordinary hunters. Even the elite hunters specially cultivated by our Dragon Family with extraordinary willpower will be eroded by the legendary Parasitic Soul Worm and become an insect man. "
"So, even if we get dozens of legendary insect eggs this time, it will be good if only one-tenth of them can become legendary magic marks. And among the people branded with legendary magic marks, there are very few who can live to the Pioneer level."
Dean was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that absorbing the legendary magic marks was so dangerous. Even the elite hunters specially cultivated by the Dragon Family had such a high failure rate. If it was an ordinary person, wouldn't the legendary Parasitic Soul Worm become a poison?
"If it becomes … an insect man, what will happen?" Dean asked.
Aisha narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "It will be dealt with."
Dudian knew that it was true.
Aisha slowed down a little and walked side by side with Dean. She looked at him and said: "I see that you have a lot of scars on your body. Have you experienced a lot of hardships before?"
Dean suddenly thought of the things in the prison. His eyes flashed slightly and said: "It's okay. It's all over. But according to what you said, I really have to thank these hardships for tempering my willpower. Otherwise, I would have died when I got the Splitter Parasitic Soul Worm."
"When we experience pain, we hate the pain. When the pain is over, we thank the pain," Aisha said slowly.
Dean looked at her and nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Here we are." Aisha walked briskly and came to the collapsed cave in front of the hole in the ground. She looked inside and said: "Sure enough, it's all gone. Only the traces of the egg pit are left."
Dean squatted and looked at the hole. Indeed, as Aisha said, the original hot nest was empty, and the once dense eggs were all gone.
"They have probably been moved to the stronghold." Aisha retracted her gaze and looked at Dean: "Unfortunately, you are already a Frontiersman. Otherwise, with your willpower, you can definitely replace the magic mark with the Shadow Hunter magic mark. You can also further deify the magic mark and make it a legendary deified magic mark. Your future potential will reach the point where it is second only to me."
"In this case, I will recommend you to the family. You will definitely get a lot of resources." Speaking of this, there was a trace of a sigh in her eyes.
Dean's heart moved: "You have a legendary deified magic mark?" He almost said the word "also".
Aisha grunted, "My magic mark has been prepared since I was born. It is the third of the eight legendary monsters, the Dragon Warrior. This is the legendary monster that our Dragon Clan's ancestors once subdued. It is also the magic mark passed down from generation to generation in our Dragon Clan."
Dean was stunned. Passed down from generation to generation? Doesn't this mean that the Dragon Clan has a lot of Parasitic Soul Worms of the Dragon Warrior?
Does it mean that the Dragon Clan has a lot of Parasitic Soul Worms?
However, what surprised him even more was that legendary monsters actually have a ranking.
Seeing Dean's expression, Aisha seemed to know what he was thinking. She smiled and said: "All the creatures in this world have strong and weak ones, even the same type of monster. Legendary monsters are no exception. Like this Shadow Hunter, it is ranked seventh among the eight legendary monsters. Although its stealth ability is first-class, if its camouflage ability is seen through, its frontal ability is only slightly stronger than rare monsters. "
"What about the Splitter?" Dean asked.
Aisha smiled and said: "The Splitter is an extreme attack type monster. It is ranked fourth. It is a very rare legendary monster."
Dean was slightly startled. He was a little lost in his heart, but thinking that it was not at the bottom, he was somewhat comforted. He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Wing Clan and Rock Clan, are they the same as you? They have legendary magic marks passed down from generation to generation. Are their legendary magic marks ranked first and second?"
"Of course not." Aisha smiled and said: "It is true that there are legendary magic marks passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, once the generations are cut off, it is equivalent to destruction. However, their legendary magic marks are far from comparable to our Dragon Clan. The legendary magic mark passed down from generation to generation in the Wing Clan is the Bat Whisperer, which is ranked fifth. That's why we call them the 'Evangelists' of the Wall Lord's ears. They always like to snitch in front of the Wall Lord. "
"The legendary magic mark of the Rock Clan is ranked sixth, which is above the Shadow Hunter. So, your Splitter magic mark is better than the magic marks of the Wing Clan and the Rock Clan. But their magic marks are deified. Under the stimulation of deification, it is enough to make up for the gap of one or two ranks. Especially the magic marks below the top three, the gap is not big."
Dean was startled. He didn't expect that the magic mark of the Splitter he accidentally got was better than the magic mark of two of the three families in the inner wall. This meant that his growth potential could surpass them!
If combined with the new divine ability, even if they had the bloodline power, it was enough to wipe out or even surpass them!
"However, this kind of ranking is not absolute." Aisha said: "Every legendary monster has its best field, terrain, and environment. They won't easily leave the environment they are good at. Once other legendary monsters enter the environment they are good at, they will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position or even be killed. Sometimes, even the Shadow Hunter, which is ranked seventh, can kill the Splitter and the Bat Whisperer!"
"However, this kind of actual ranking that is affected by other factors doesn't have much impact on the top three legendary monsters."
Aisha whispered: "Although they are known as the eight legendary monsters, the gap between the top three legendary monsters is getting bigger and bigger. Especially the first legendary monster, Dream Breeder, which is almost beyond the scope of legendary monsters. No matter what environment it is in, it can easily kill other legendary monsters. Even legendary Hunter may be killed by it!"
"So strong?" Dean was surprised.
Aisha nodded slightly: "This is what I heard from Grandmother Dragon Mother. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. The trace of Dream Breeder hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. The most recent appearance was also a hundred years ago. At that time, only footprints were left. The Saintess of that generation couldn't find it, so it was left unsettled. But it is certain that no one has the magic mark of Dream Breeder, so we can just take it as a legend and listen to it. "
Dean's eyes flashed slightly. There was some desire in his heart, the desire for power. However, as Aisha said, it was fine to listen to it as a story. Not to mention the 'Dream Breeder', even other legendary monsters were rare.
"Let's find a place to rest," Aisha said.
Dean nodded.
The two went out of the cave. Dean found the place where Ruby hid the bag, but he didn't see the bag. Instead, there were a few footprints in front of the cave. Obviously, the bag of food was taken away by those Dragon Guards.
He smiled bitterly and took Aisha to the desolate neighborhood. They found a relatively dilapidated building and went in. They spread branches and vines on the ground as a bed. Now that Aisha's strength had not recovered, she could only continue to live in this orange wasteland.
In the following days, Dean and Aisha went out to hunt together every day. With Aisha's super perception, the two didn't encounter any high-level monsters. However, this was also related to the range and time of each hunting. They didn't hunt in a large area, and each time they went out for a short time. After hunting the small monsters, they quickly returned to their hiding place.
After eating and drinking in the residence, Dean exercised his heart muscle.
Aisha had nothing to do, so she taught Dean a complete set of Dragon Thorn, which was the secret skill that Dean had previously been accused of stealing.
In Aisha's words, teaching Dragon Blood Technique had already violated the rules, so it didn't matter to do it one more time.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, Dean and Aisha had lived in the orange wasteland for more than half a month, which didn't include the unknown time they lived in the ice cave.
"Have you packed everything?" Aisha stood outside the gate of the dilapidated ruins with only the blood red sword on her back. She turned her head and looked at Dean who was packing inside.
