Chapter 82

The chaotic broken stele was being nurtured in the hero's gourd heart.

The chaotic divine pattern on the stele, as if endowed with a spirit, absorbed a large portion of the hero's essence and blood, and it seemed like a demon that had been asleep for billions of years had been awakened.

At this moment, the hero suddenly realized that a powerful emblem force was enveloping him, trying to lock him down. There was no need to ask; it must be the ground spider that had found him.

Under normal circumstances, the hero would not be able to escape such a powerful emblem force, but now, coincidentally, the chaotic divine pattern within the broken stele had just been awakened.

The hero had already become its master, and any offense against the master was an offense against it. How could the might of a saint be violated by mere ants? Even if it was just a chaotic divine pattern, its chaotic will alone could crush a mere insect into pieces.

The ground spider had experienced countless life-threatening situations. The moment it sensed the chaotic will about to attack, it immediately fled.

"Want to run? Leave it to this girl." Suddenly, a cold snort came from the chaotic will, and the chaotic divine pattern on the broken stele came to life, transforming into a little girl with two small tiger teeth and a pair of dimples, her face adorned with a faint, endearing smile.

But the hero's first instinct was: stay as far away from this little miss as possible.

As the hero had expected, the little miss directly grabbed the chaotic broken stele and threw it at the ground spider, which had fled several miles away. It seemed she was using the chaotic broken stele as a brick.

The ground spider let out a惨叫, his back was smashed to pieces, and he was on the verge of death. However, the ground spider, as if prepared, immediately took a red potion. This was a potion that could bring one back from the brink of death: the Minor Revival Elixir.

Although the Minor Revival Elixir was not as precious as the Solar Saint Elixir, it was not something an ordinary mutant could afford by gritting their teeth. The ground spider had used countless merits to obtain this single Minor Revival Elixir.

Even a set of ordinary-grade supreme emblems could not exchange for half of it.

After swallowing the Minor Revival Elixir, the back that had just been smashed to pieces recovered. A sharp whistle sounded from the ground spider's mouth, and his body swelled as if filled with blood. His qi and blood ignited, bursting with a force that could tear apart space.

The ground spider used a secret technique to ignite his blood, unleashing his极限 potential. The speed-enhancing emblem in his boots reached its limit, increasing his speed threefold.

At that moment, the ground spider's escape speed was equivalent to three times the speed of sound! He had to bring back what he had seen to the Spider Clan. This would be a tremendous merit, not only offsetting the consequences of the failed mission but also earning a substantial reward.

He had never seen the chaotic broken stele, but that did not prevent him from speculating that it was related to the ancient dao tradition site. Combining the intelligence provided by the Black Spider, he was certain that the hero had obtained a remarkable treasure from that site.

He thought he had been hit by a powerful and mysterious emblem weapon. There were many such weapons that could almost instantly kill him, but they were used by super mutants or those of higher realms. If one could achieve this at the stage of ability awakening, it must be a powerful ancient relic.

Treasure moves the heart. Even the Spider Clan, a group of monsters that relied on drinking human blood for cultivation, had needs for clothing, food, shelter, and resources for cultivation. They needed equipment for fighting. Most importantly, they were still human. Who would complain about having too much equipment? An ancient dao tradition site could enhance the foundation of a faction.

"You have obtained it, but for now, it remains in your hands. Best keep it a secret, or I have a thousand ways to make your entire family wish they were dead." As the ground spider's mind twisted with excitement, he had already fled to an unknown location.

The hero sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake, internally observing the gourd heart. He curiously stared at the little girl who had taken up residence, who was still playing with the chaotic broken stele.

Was this her weapon? But thinking of another fact, the hero secretly rejoiced. Look at the current predicament of the Hua family. The hero had now obtained the chaotic broken stele for free, which was sheer luck.

"I am now her master, and this is a super golden finger." The hero thought happily, but he also stared at the little girl with a sly look.

The little girl knew what the hero's gaze meant and snorted, "My name is Mantu. You can call me Man. I am a chaotic divine pattern that has developed sentience. Don't expect me to fight; I am as strong as you are. My only trump card is the chaotic will, which can crush many people with a single thought. But I am just a bit of sentience that has developed after countless years of nurturing. My sentience is limited, so my chaotic will is weak. The more I use it, the faster I will become an idiot."

The little girl rambled on, and the hero filtered out the main point: she was essentially trying to win his sympathy to get free lodging and food.

But thinking of the power of the chaotic broken stele when used as a brick, the hero felt a twinge of pain. This girl was probably good at throwing cold knives in a group fight. However, using the chaotic broken stele once drained all of the hero's pure yang inner breath, which made his teeth ache just thinking about it.

In the end, the hero compromised. She had already moved in; could he really ask a little girl to leave?

Seeing the hero's expression, Mantu laughed, "So I can't fight or take hits, but I can help you sense more chaotic broken steles."

As long as two chaotic fragments were not too far apart, they could naturally sense each other's presence. However, with the chaotic broken stele in the hero's possession having developed sentience, the range of sensing was much wider.

For example, now, Mantu's eyes darted around and she giggled, "I have a big discovery. If you give me all the extra emblems you don't need as supplements, I'll tell you. If you're unwilling to part with the emblems, I'll take candies and drinks too."

Candies and drinks? They were actually pills and various reagents!

The hero grinned, "I know you sensed a large chaotic broken stele nearby, right?"

Mantu's eyes blinked, and she said in great surprise, "My master is so smart. How did you sense it if you're not a chaotic broken stele?"

If the hero were to explain it clearly, he would be talking until the next morning. Checking the time, it was already past six in the evening. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that the chaotic broken stele had sensed the existence of the Hua family's broken stele. This meant that the broken stele was actually near Tianchuan. Could it be that the old man Hua had been leading the Dragon Emperor and others on a wild goose chase all this time?

Thinking of this, the hero smiled foolishly, "My little treasure, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Here, have this elixir to quench your thirst."

The hero was about to get two first-grade ability enhancement elixirs for her.

Little girls loved honest and kind uncles, and this was the hero's forte.

But he was puzzled about how to get the elixir to her. Should he drink it himself first?

While the hero was still pondering, he felt a small hand reach into his storage belt, open a box, and take a golden elixir.

The hero felt as if he were being slaughtered like a pig. This little miss was so picky, only taking the Solar Saint Elixir and ignoring the other reagents.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your child. The hero accepted it, but he felt a deep pain. That was his life-saving holy medicine, and each sip was precious. He had only taken half a dose even after facing death twice.
