Chapter 668: Chapter 279: The Cheat Has Arrived, You’ve Gained a Secret_3
Anrub shook his head and spoke, “At least a thousand.”
“At a thousand? And you want , a Level 4 Contractor, to go on a suicide mission?”
Although Mu Rufeng was fearless, he wasn’t about to act like a fool.
“Besides, the strongest of these parasites are only Level 5. The Swallowing Sky Demon Whale is a Dead Sea Dominator. Can’t it deal with these parasites?”
“Just sweep a dose of ‘Ghost Power’ over its body, and wouldn’t that kill them all?” Mu Rufeng voiced his doubts.
Hearing this, Anrub replied with a wry smile, “If only it were that easy. Lord Demon Whale is indeed powerful, but these are inside its body.”
“Moreover, the parasites possess a special ability to attach themselves inside the flesh at any ti. If Lord Demon Whale were to set its heart on it, it could indeed exterminate all the parasites.”
“But correspondingly, we of the Dwarf Demon Clan would be wiped out as well, and Lord Demon Whale’s internal organs would suffer severe damage.”
“Lord Demon Whale, though one of the Three Great Tyrants of the Dead Sea, has enemies in the other two tyrants.”
“Once Lord Demon Whale is injured, the other two tyrants will surely join forces against it,” Anrub explained slowly.
“Is that so?” Mu Rufeng’s brows furrowed slightly.
If it really was as Anrub said, then the situation was indeed quite problematic.
“Although the Insect Queen’s guards are Level 4, you needn’t worry. Do you rember the torrent from before?” Anrub said.
“The torrent?” Mu Rufeng was slightly startled, then recalled the black liquid that had been swirling with nurous white parasitic eggs.
“You an the eighteen-ter torrent that you ntioned before?”
“Yes, eighteen ters. It was only a few ters at first, but now it has reached eighteen ters. In another two ters, it will flood our habitat.”
“When that ti cos, we’ll have to find a new habitat again.” Anrub let out a sigh.
“However, fortunately you’ve arrived. That torrent is actually Dead Sea water that Lord Demon Whale swallowed subconsciously in an attempt to rid itself of the parasites.”
“Corrosive and life-sapping, the Dead Sea water is capable of sweeping away parasites, such as those in the esophagus, and expelling them from the body.”
“However, this thod only manages to dispose of so parasite eggs, and it’s hardly a solution—it rely delays the inevitable.”
“Moreover, the water from the Dead Sea poses a fatal threat to us Dwarf Demons. As Lord Demon Whale’s body accumulates more parasites.”
“The swallowed sea water increases, and many of our people have been taken by the water… This has led to our constant displacent.” Anrub stated slowly.
“And then?” Mu Rufeng felt that Anrub hadn’t gotten to the main point yet.
“Lord Demon Whale swallows sea water once every hour, and the water contains Lord Demon Whale’s essence. Even a Level 7 Ghost General would perish without a grave if it were to co into contact with it.”
Afterward, Anrub shared his plan with Mu Rufeng.
The plan was actually quite simple.
The Insect Queen was targeting the brain, right?
They would first dig a passage towards the vicinity of the brain, but not break through just yet.
When the Insect Queen moved near the brain, that’s when they would break through the passage, and then connect it to the Dead Sea water below.
As soon as Lord Demon Whale swallowed the water from the Dead Sea, the water would backflow, instantly flooding the passage near the brain.
This would also allow them to eradicate all the parasites, including the Insect Queen, in one fell swoop.
They had considered digging a passage to the heart and flooding it with sea water for a quick end.
But the path to the heart was too heavily guarded, and it seed they’d be discovered before they could dig far.
Hearing this, Mu Rufeng frowned, “Your plan sounds solid, but surely you don’t need for it?”
If they really could dig a passage, then Mu Rufeng, a Level 4 Contractor, was utterly dispensable.
“The flesh of Lord Demon Whale is too strong, especially near the head. We are having a hard ti opening a space. We have been digging for a month, and have only managed a two hundred-ter distance.”
“To break through, we need at least three thousand ters. We can’t wait that long,” Anrub said.
“Ten ters? Three thousand ters? So, you want to dig on my own? But how long do you think it would take to dig three thousand ters?” Mu Rufeng had a feeling there was sothing off about this plan.
And it seed like Anrub was hiding sothing; sothing felt strange.
“At most one week.”
“Our strength is low, we rely on numbers, and to prevent being detected, we must be extrely careful, which slows us down.”
“But you are different. You’re a Contractor. Not to belabor the point, but if those Contract Demons within you actually start feeding, not only would your power increase, but so would your digging speed.”
“And, with fewer of you, the noise you make will be less, virtually undetectable. A week, one week’s ti is definitely enough,” Anrub said.
Mu Rufeng fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Eat? Asking his Contract Demons to eat the at of the Demon Whale? That seed a bit…
It was at this mont that a notification appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
“[A secret has been discovered. Would you like to view it?]”
“Huh? A secret?” Mu Rufeng was slightly startled.
These days, he gained a secret every day, but they were mostly useless.
However, now that he was here, the owner of the secret was most likely this Clan Leader of the Dwarf Demon Clan, Anrub.
Naturally, Mu Rufeng chose to view it.
“[Hehehe, once the passage is opened, my plan can begin. Once successful, the body of the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale will fully co under my control.]”
