Chapter 1370 - Homecoming (1/2)
The little beastman was not close enough to him to obey his command yet, but she listened to everything Xiuban said.
Lin Yun seized the opportunity to familiarize himself with the little beastman. He even gave her a name, Marianna. The 73rd God’s name before the rebirth could not be used anymore. It was almost a taboo.
Now that the danger was gone, everybody resumed mining in the enclosed space. There were still a lot of lodes left. Many precious materials had been destroyed, but some were just shattered, and could still be used after being polished and regathered. There were a lot of resources that were buried deeper underground too.
All the survivors continued mining. Marianna removed the space blockage in the place, and Lin Yun was able to summon engineering puppets from his Demiplane, while the Chester Family summoned a lot of low-level beasts to help with mining.
Two hours passed quickly. All the rare materials left in the space had been dug up. They dug hundreds of meters deep in a radius of dozens of kilometers, and even found the smallest mithril ores. They almost filtered all the soil.
During the two months, Lin Yun and Marianna had become very close. At least, she had learned to come to Lin Yun instead of Xiuban when she was hungry.
Marianna, who wore a beast hide skirt and shirt, was waving a leg bone that was 1.5 meters long, and chasing after the beasts that the Chester Family had summoned. All the beasts were paralyzed when they detected Marianna’s aura.
Then, Marianna found it boring to kill the beasts that had been too scared to move. She then found Lin Yun to address the problem.
Then, Marianna learned from Lin Yun the spell to cover her aura…
As a beastman, she had learned a human spell, and used it more effectively than the mages who were adept at the spell could. After casting the spell, Marianna completely concealed her aura. She then pretended to be weak, and found the hardworking beasts in the mines, waiting for them to chase her. After that, she smashed the beasts’ heads, and dragged their bodies to Lin Yun, who would roast them…
She didn’t go to Xiuban, because even as a simple child, she could tell the delicious food from the bad one. After having Xiuban’s roast meat once, Marianna was so picky that she didn’t eat any more food he made.
The Chester Family’s mages were truly unlucky. There was nothing edible in this desolate place at all. The beasts that the mages of the Chester Family summoned were the only source of meat.
Those beasts had all been tricked by Marianna. They weren’t very clever at the beginning, but after a lot of them were killed, they seemed to have become a lot smarter, and would avoid anything that looked like Marianna. They would never approach her or give her an opportunity to attack.
After a level-39 beast was smashed by Marianna, people of the Chester Family couldn’t help but complain about it to Lin Yun, but then nothing happened.
Marianna nearly killed one of their Heaven Rank beasts on the next day, which made the people of the Chester Family shut up. Only those who were stupid would reason with a reborn god. It was just a few beasts. More could always be summoned if they died. Summoning the low-level beasts wasn’t a strenuous task anyway.
With the Wild Summoning bloodline of the Chester Family, it was possible to summon a swarm of low-level beasts at the same time. Also, they didn’t have to contract the low-level beasts at all. Those beasts were simply summoned as cannon fodder.
Marianna had a good time. She was a lot nicer to the Chester Family too. At least, she didn’t want to smash Danason’s head after a few words with him.
The Chester Family was quite happy. After all, she was a living reborn god. Even though she seemed as innocent as a child, that was fine. As long as she didn’t die by accident, her odds of igniting the God Fire would be greater than those of any mage.
Then, Danason, who lacked backbone, adulated Marianna by summoning a few delicious beasts once every couple of days, and sending them to her weapon casually…
“What a stupid human being…”
Enderfa floated in midair, and glanced at Danason, who was as cautious as a thief, in the distance while cursing.
Danason summoned a glacier bull that was more than five meters tall. Then, he infuriated the bull, and let it charge in Marianna’s direction as it lost its rationality.
The little beastman was delighted to see another delicious-looking beast attack her. She bared her fangs like Xiuban did, and then roared and charged at the bull.
A thick bone that was 1.5 meters long hit the bull in the head brutally, and smashed its head instantly. Then, Marianna, who was 1.5 meters tall, dragged the bull that was five meters tall and nine meters long with one hand, and threw it to Lin Yun.
“Uncle Merlin, Uncle Merlin, I’ve hunted another creature. It looks quite delicious…”
Lin Yun’s eyes twitched. He felt that his heart was racing every time Marianna called him.
Once born, the 73rd God would probably be stronger than all the other gods, even though the half-developed soul of the 73rd God had split up into the famous Raging Flame Emperor and the Abyssal Overlord.
This kid, who technically only had one-fourth of the god’s soul, was reborn from half of the Abyssal Overlord’s soul. Every time Marianna called him uncle, Lin Yun felt that whenever that terrifying guy awakened his consciousness, the second thing he would do would be to kill him…
The very first person he would kill was certainly Xiuban.
Still, it was very unlikely for Marianna to regain her consciousness before the rebirth…
Lin Yun summoned three frost element sprites, and asked them to process the bull. He then summoned four fire elementals, and roasted the bull that weighed thousands of kilograms. He pushed the seasonings into the meat with mana, and finished the processing with the purest mana. Then, he watched Marianna eat up those thousands of kilograms of meat without leaving any.
Nothing was left at all, not even the smallest bone. In terms of not wasting food, she was so much better than Xiuban.
After Marianna was full, she patted her belly, and patrolled the land again while holding the bone stick that was even longer than herself.
The space blockage had been removed, but in order to leave this place, they had to pass through the gray mist in the periphery. With Marianna here, there was no need to worry about the trip.
Marianna walked to the wall of gray mist, and the wall voluntarily split up. There wasn’t the slightest hint of gray mist within 30 meters of Marianna.
When they entered the depths of the mist, everybody followed Marianna inside the huge hemisphere that was 30 meters in diameter. They walked out of the gray mist after a dozen minutes, and reached where they entered the relics.
Hardly had they walked out of the relics when a drake that had four wings screamed, and fell in front of everybody.
Holding the bone stick, Marianna gazed at the drake that was not fully dead yet, and kept mumbling…
“Uncle Merlin didn’t lie to me. There’s indeed a lot of food in the outside world. This thing looks delicious…”
The poor drake wasn’t killed by the Blood Elves, and yet its head had been broken by the little beastman who was only one meter tall…
Every time Marianna waved the stick and smashed a head, Xiuban grinned. According to the great Lord Xiuban, the enemy’s head had to be smashed in order to ensure that they were dead. Marianna had certainly carried out his instruction.
Enderfa floated around Lin Yun, with fright on his three faces.
“Damn it. Is Marianna’s bone stick some sort of extraordinary weapon that can break any head? Why can it break the head of a level-20 beast and a level-38 one?”
Lin Yun was puzzled about Marianna’s strength too…
She seemed to be a natural-born extraordinary creature that was no stronger than level 20. However, she had killed her every enemy with one attack, including Dalton who was level-5 in the Heaven Rank and the beasts that were below level 20.
Even though she seemed to be no stronger than level 30, nobody dared to underestimate her after her remarkable feat. Even Danason had to play along with her.
