On the other side, Qiao Rui also sent someone to report that they had conquered the Vogata Tribe's harbor and obtained two ghost ships. However, Bai Xiaowen still needed to study how to pilot the ships.
In the pool under the altar, Delifa's "feeding" process had come to an end.
The pool was filled with dried monster corpses. There was only one purple octopus, more than two meters tall, lying lazily in the pool. Its skin was shiny, and it looked very similar to a man's indescribable part when he was angry.
Bai Xiaowen used Insight.
[Heart Eater Aberrant Body (Boss Level 8)/Aberrant State]
[Race: Demon/Eye Devil]
[Attributes: STR 15, DEX 7, Constitution 44, Spirit 115]
[Skills: None]
The description of "Aberrant State" followed.
[Aberrant State: This Heart Eater Demon's evolution failed. Its combat ability is extremely weak. Killing it will not give you any loot treasure chests. Note: Alchemists might be interested in it.]
Bai Xiaowen read the description of "Aberrant State" carefully and finally understood. This Heart Eater Demon could have evolved into a Commander-level creature. However, due to Delifa's rapid feeding, its evolution failed and it became a useless creature.
Think about it. 115 Spirit points without any skills. What combat ability could it have? As for the 15 Strength points, it was already good enough to support its fat body. It did not even have the physical ability of a normal octopus.
"We've been busy for a while. Seems like there's no point?" Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment. "Although it won't drop any loot treasure chests, it's a Level-8 Boss. Killing it should still give you battle experience and 8,000 Soul Energy points."
Li Shuyi nodded and unsheathed his two swords. "Looks like it's not completely useless."
"Wait …" Bai Xiaowen stopped Li Shuyi. "This Heart Eater Aberrant Body should be a secret that we've uncovered. It's a pity to kill it. Where did the Heart Eater Demons come from? What are their weaknesses? How do we deal with the mental transformation and memory effects caused by the Heart Eater Demons? We don't know anything about that. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "I think it's better not to be greedy for the experience and psionic energy points unless it's absolutely necessary. Now we were ready to embark, and we had enough men about us. It's better to take this big guy and look for a spirit world figure like an alchemist … There's hope to unearth a side quest. "
Li Shuyi nodded, convinced.
Bai Xiaowen then asked a group of human warriors to find a shell that was about the same size. They made a device similar to the ancient Hua Xia carriage for the Heart Devouring Demon and carried it all the way to the underwater port in the territory of Vogata to meet up with Qiao Rui and Cecilia.
After meeting up, Bai Xiaowen first had a meeting with his teammates, including Captain Julian. He told them about the information he had collected.
"I have a simple map with the location of the other underwater Naga tribes … Combined with these letters, it's not difficult to infer the route that the Vogata tribe and the other tribes use. We can pilot the Specter Ship and disguise it as the Vogata's ship to sneak attack the other tribes' underwater bases. This is a good route. We already have the corresponding experience, and the success rate of attacking the other tribes will be higher. "
Captain Julian frowned and said, "Prophet, this is too dangerous … And the laborers who have just been freed want to return to land the most. They won't be willing to continue fighting the other Naga tribes."
The other members of the White Phoenix team were silent. Captain Julian was obviously not on the same side as the Awakened who liked to cause trouble like them … Although he was a leader, Captain Julian was still an opportunistic businessman. It was his nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Then there is another route, and that is to go to the Bonus Islands."
"The Bonus Islands?" Captain Julian was shocked. "This … this … this … why do we have to go there?"
"You know about this place?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Captain Julian nodded. "This place used to be a mountain range. After being submerged by the sea, it became an archipelago. Later on, merchant ships used this place as a trading station for fresh water. But last year, the archipelago was occupied by the Nagas, and it became a forbidden place for merchant ships. Many fleets would rather take a long detour than resupply here. "
"Wait, you said this place is a mountain range …"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly remembered. He knew where the sense of familiarity came from.
Southeast of the Republic of Calchino, Bonus Mountains!
The reason why he remembered this place was because when Bai Xiaowen was doing the "Seven-Day Prophecy" mission, he had found out that this place was where one of the Seven Sacred Artifacts, "Balguera's Punishment" was buried!
Bai Xiaowen's memory was perfect, but because the mountain range had turned into an island, it did not match with his memory, so he could not remember it immediately.
"This place used to be a mountain range. Is there a problem?" Captain Julian asked.
"No."
"Then, why did Lord Prophet choose the Bonus Islands as the second route?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "According to my calculations, the Bonus Islands should be the frontline of the battle between the human alliance and the Nagas. After finding the human alliance, we can naturally return to the mainland. "
"Why?" Not only Julian, but even the rest of the team was curious.
Bai Xiaowen said, "You have seen the order that Lord Vazatas gave to Neturu. He asked him to send elite warriors as soon as possible. What are they going to do? Of course, it is to fight. If even Lord Vazatas is having a hard time and needs reinforcements, it will not be a small war. "
If they needed manpower to mine and open up a base, they only needed to send a large number of human laborers. There was no need to emphasize elite warriors.
Julian smiled bitterly. "I'm just a businessman. Do I really have to participate in this kind of war?"
"You don't have to participate, but my friends and I have to," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Before a disaster, there will always be humans who need to stand up against the monsters. This is the choice of my friends and me."
Captain Julian was silent. No matter where Bai Xiaowen went, those human laborers had to follow. Otherwise, in this sea ruled by the Nagas, who could guarantee that there would not be another accident?
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Mr. Julian, this is the fastest way for you to return to the mainland. If you are not willing to go to the Bonus Islands, you can also choose the first route and attack the bases of other Nagas tribes. This can also help the human alliance on the Bonus Islands, but I think you will be even more unwilling. "
Attack other Nagas tribes? Then their return would be even more distant.
