In addition to the virus, the Temple's research on the Aragami also gave Dean a lot of harvest.
The Aragami factor contained rich energy. It could heal dying people in a short period of time. It could also be used on plants. It could revive withered flowers and willows … Even plants could thrive. If a small amount was added to the human body, it could prolong a person's life. For example, the Divine Temple experimented on a dying old man. Not long after, the old man went from bedridden to walking, and he could even carry out simple soldier training. His physique was better than that of an ordinary man in the prime of his life, and he lived for more than 20 years before aging again.
However, after the second injection of the Aragami Factor, the old man 'stood up' once more. However, in less than two years, his condition deteriorated again, and the effect was far inferior to the first injection. Even so, this was still a medical miracle!
There was no doubt that the Aragami factor would greatly change the entire human world if it was used in medicine. It would also become the darling of the nobles and the rich.
This was the value of the Aragami factor. For a strong person like Dean, the Aragami factor was far more valuable than the achievements in medicine. The Temple found that the Aragami factor could stimulate the magic marks and stimulate the potential of the magic marks. There was a chance to give birth to new abilities! Under normal circumstances, the magic marks would be further strengthened when the human body evolves and transforms. It would further integrate with the human body and add more abilities. However, the Aragami factor could make the magic marks evolve without any changes in the body. This was a priceless treasure for any hunter!
This method was called 'Divine Sense'!
Although the Divine Sense was precious and rare, but the risk was relatively high. The Temple had experimented with this method successfully but there were more cases of failure. Fifty years ago, the success rate was less than 20%. Now it was improved a lot but the success rate was still only 70%. It seemed that the chance was relatively high but even 90% success rate would be terrifying if the chance was to gamble with one's life.
In addition to the "Divine Sense" function, it could also be attached to the Demon Hunter Tool. After the Demon Hunter Tool was activated, the Aragami Factor in the Demon Hunter Tool would strengthen the Demon Hunter Tool. The success rate of this experiment was relatively high, and the risk was not high. If it failed, it could be replaced with another Demon Hunter Tool. However, for most of the Warriors who were short of money, it was also a risk.
This method was called 'Deification of the magic tool'.
The deification of the magic tool didn't limit the growth of the soldiers. It didn't conflict with the ice worm. Most of the soldiers chose this method.
At first, Dean thought that his situation should belong to the former 'Divine Sense'. However, after a detailed comparison of the experiment, he found that it was not the case. The 'Divine Sense' only used a very small amount of Aragami factor to complete the 'Divine Sense' experiment. The Aragami factor extracted from a piece of Aragami the size of a fingernail was enough to complete the 'Divine Sense' experiment of hundreds of soldiers. The Aragami's flesh in Dean's body was much bigger than the size of a fingernail. Moreover, it was not injected into the body but directly swallowed into the stomach and intestines.
His situation was not an isolated case. The ambitious Pantheon had also conducted experiments on consuming the flesh and blood of the Aragami. The subjects of the experiments included monsters, beasts and other types of creatures.
Some of them died after taking the Aragami's flesh. Some of them had a mutation and turned into a monster. Although their body didn't change, they awakened super high intelligence and almost escaped from prison.
There were all kinds of situations, but none of them were like Dean. He didn't awaken extremely high intelligence, nor did his body mutate. He even wondered if he was the kind of person who had awakened extremely high intelligence, but because his intelligence was already very high, there was no effect … Soon he rejected this narcissistic idea. He felt that he was slightly smarter than the average person, but compared with the real wise person, he was far behind.
He understood human nature. The wise man understood the mysteries of the universe.
There were countless great scientists that were born in the history. Any one of them could kill his intelligence in seconds.
Speaking of which, he could not help but thank his right arm. Back then, his right arm had been frozen by a freak combination of factors. That was how he managed to survive the ordeal. Before this, he did not know what would happen if the Aragami's flesh and blood entered his brain. However, after reading the experiment records of the Temple of Light, he knew what would happen. It was very likely that he would awaken super intelligence. However, rather than saying that it was an awakening, it would be more accurate to say that his original thoughts were being consumed. Just like those humans, daemons, and beasts who had awakened their intelligence, all of them showed a change in thinking that they had never experienced before. Using a phrase mentioned in the experiment records, it was as if they had completely changed their brains.
Yes, perhaps they had changed their brains.
This made Dean more vigilant about the Aragami's flesh and blood. Although it was silent now, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. This thing … It was very likely to contain thinking. He could see one or two things from its previous attacks.
"Every piece of the Aragami's flesh and blood contains independent thinking. If this is 100% true and not just speculation, then what is the Aragami?" Dean thought about the perfect face and ugly body of the aragami. He secretly sighed in his heart. These things were probably the most terrible things on earth. It wasn't easy for humans to survive after the disaster. But they were living together with such things and were even sheltered by them. He shuddered at the thought of it!
The sky was completely bright.
Dean left the bloodstained clothes in the room and put on a new set of cotton clothes. He went out of the hotel with Aisha and paid for the room. Then he went out and hired a carriage. They went straight out of the King's City.
The carriage drove along the road. There were shops, pubs and people gathered on the roadside or in the square. Dean soon heard some of the discussions about the Temple. It seemed that the news of him breaking into a branch of the Temple and slaughtering half of the headquarters had spread.
The status of the Temple in the giant wall was supreme. It was comparable to the royal power. Overnight, such a big thing happened. At this time, the Temple was already under pressure. It was estimated that they didn't have time to pay attention to the news. Most of the conversations were about the Temple. However, the people were still the people. They only talked about the attack and so on. They didn't know the specific casualties.
Obviously, there were some blockades in the scene.
Dean estimated that Monica already knew about it. But he had done what he had to do. There was no point in staying. As for the experimental equipment and other things in the Temple, he felt that sooner or later he would have the opportunity to come back to get them. Maybe he would get better equipment in the Kingdom of God. But the premise was that he could get in touch with the core circle of the Kingdom of God.
The carriage drove out of the King's City. Dean handed the coachman ten silver notes of the lowest denomination and turned away with Aisha.
It didn't take long before he was ready to enter the outskirts where there were wild beasts. Suddenly he heard the sound of hooves coming from behind. He looked back and saw that the coachman was chasing after him.
Dudian waited for the carriage to stop in front of him, then he stopped.
The coachman sat in the carriage and smiled at Dean: "Mister, do you want to go back and forth? I'll pick you up here. "
Dean suddenly thought of the little girl who was guarding outside his door. He shook his head: "No, you go back."
The coachman was disappointed: "Mister, do you want to go forward? It's dangerous there. I'm familiar with the road. Do you want me to send you?"
"Didn't you just send me outside the city gate?"
"You must be joking. I was afraid to dirty the horse's hooves and wheels. Mister is so generous so I should send you."
Dean shook his head: "No need. You can go."
The coachman's face slightly changed. He sighed: "Well, since mister is so stubborn then don't blame me." As soon as he finished speaking, the hand that he had been hiding on the other side suddenly flung out, and in it was a short dagger.
Dean also sighed. At first, he thought that the coachman was the same as the little girl, trying to earn more money by being attentive. But later he realized that the coachman was not only greedy but also cruel. He seemed to have lost all interest. His eyes moved away from the coachman as if he didn't even see the dagger that was stabbing towards him. He turned around and led Aisha to continue moving forward.
Hiss!
The horse neighed and raised its hooves as if it was frightened.
Dean took Aisha further and further away. The coachman softly leaned against the carriage. His head rolled into his arms. Blood gushed out from the neck. Only the horse kept neighing and kicking its hooves.
The coachman was concerned that this place was close to the city gate. But Dean didn't care.
…
…
Dean and Aisha quickly moved forward after arriving in the wilderness. It didn't take long for them to reach a forest in a remote area.
The leaves in the forest were lush so the humidity was heavy and the sunlight was sparse. Poisonous snakes and beasts were entrenched in the forest. Brightly patterned snakes could be seen swimming on the trees.
Dean came to a more open place, picked up a handful of small stones from the ground, and shot them out. Swishing sounds and the sound of leaves being penetrated echoed. One after another, poisonous snakes fell from the trees, grass, and entrenched bark, twitching powerlessly. In addition, there was an unknown black-haired beast that was half a meter long in the grass.
Dean found a stone and sat down after cleaning up the surrounding beasts and poisonous insects. He took out the ice worm that he had dug out from the head of the Ice Dragon from his backpack.
Dean knew how to absorb the ice worm after Felicia's explanation combined with the information from the Temple.
"It's a pity that I didn't take away the one that was wrapped around Felicia's neck." Dean sighed in regret. If it wasn't for the urgent situation at that time, he would have been able to evolve into the middle abyss in one fell swoop.
The gap between the middle abyss and the lower abyss was no different from the gap between the abyss and the dominator. It could be seen from the fact that Felicia could catch up with him without using her demonic body.
Dean started to absorb the ice worm according to the steps after taking it out.
At noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature in the woods had risen a bit. Dean was moving around in the dense forest. His figure jumped between the trees like a phantom, and the sound of the wind was heard, and the leaves were blown askew.
After a while, Dean returned to his backpack. There was some doubt in his eyes. After absorbing the ice worm, he felt that his physical strength had increased by less than one-fifth. The effect was much lower than he had expected. He thought that his strength would at least double. If he had two ice worms then it would be four times stronger. It was in line with the gap between the lower abyss and the middle abyss in his heart. But now it was less than one-fifth. Did he have to absorb two ice worms to have a qualitative change?
Dean couldn't think of an answer. He stayed in the forest until the night and tried again. The result was the same. He could only give up and was going to meet with Felicia and ask her about it.
Three days later, Dean arrived at the appointed place outside King City. However, he did not see any of Felicia's people. He frowned slightly. Did they go back on their words?
Not long after, Felicia's figure appeared. She had changed into a clean lady's dress. It was a light green skirt. She looked a bit fresh. She smiled at Dean. "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay. Women have the right to be late."
"You are such a gentleman."
"Don't misunderstand. I was just saying."
"Well, you're a warrior."
Dean held Aisha's hand and walked in front. He asked Felicia about the past few days in the King's City.
"I had a good time these days. I didn't expect that there would be so many interesting things in these remote walls. Speaking of which, I brought you a gift …" Felicia handed the gift box to Dean.
Dean took it and opened it. It was a furry bear with a pink bow. His mouth twitched. He returned the gift box. "I don't need it."
"It's not for you." Felicia said with interest.
Dean was speechless. He suddenly found that Felicia wasn't dressed like a lady. Felicia covered her mouth and laughed. "You can give it to your girlfriend if you don't want it. Maybe she will like it."
Dean raised his eyebrows. "I'll choose the gift she likes. You should keep this for yourself. After all, the journey in the wilderness is lonely. It's good to have this as a companion."
Felicia shrugged. She took the gift as she saw that Dean didn't want it.
It didn't take long for Dean to ask her about the absorption of the ice worm. He told her about the absorption method and the effects of the ice worm.
Felicia had long noticed that Dean had an ice worm in his backpack so she wasn't surprised. But she was surprised when she heard about the effect of the ice worm. "It shouldn't be. Generally speaking, the power should be doubled. You are just a low abyss, not a middle abyss. Wait, are you …"
Suddenly, she looked at Dean in astonishment.
Dean froze for a moment when he heard her words, but he reacted in an instant. His mind was sharp, and he was suddenly shocked. He remembered that the requirement to advance from the middle abyss to the upper abyss was five ice worms. Could it be that he had unknowingly become a middle abyss? But he had only used one Extreme Ice Worm!
He frowned as he thought of the Aragami's flesh.
Felicia glanced at Dudian and said, "It's normal for a middle-level abyss like you to have such an effect. I said that with your strength, how could you be a low-level abyss? You lied to me before, but now you've exposed yourself."
Dean was speechless, but he didn't explain anything. Instead, he was glad that he didn't tell her too much about himself. If she knew that he had such power with only one ice worm, then it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't think too much.
Dean didn't talk to her about this. He continued to talk about the trip to King's City.
After reaching the giant wall, Dean used the sun to determine the direction and continued to move forward.
Felicia followed Dean for seven or eight miles. She looked at Dean suspiciously: "Do you have something to do in the vicinity?"
Dudian was surprised: "Nothing."
Felicia was stunned as well. She widened her eyes and said in shock, "You, you don't know where the God Kingdom is?"
Dean looked at her expression and responded, "Did I go the wrong way?"
