Scale Concubine turned to look at Rising Lizard before looking back at Lin Yuan.
It seemed to be in a dilemma over who to report to first.
Normally, Scale Concubine would report to Rising Lizard without hesitation as a believer’s Apostle was everything to them.
However, Scale Concubine knew that Rising Lizard was always trying to win Lin Yuan’s favor, and Lin Yuan had the power to transform dimensional lifeforms into Apostles.
Hence, Scale Concubine might rouse Lin Yuan’s ire if it reported to Rising Lizard first.
While Scale Concubine was in conflict with itself, Wendy noticed the change in Scale Concubine’s expression and asked timidly, “Mommy, are you sad? I can sing a song for you!”
Wendy snuggled into Lin Yuan’s arms.
Wendy could not figure out why its mother, which had sheltered it all its life, was suddenly acting so respectful of it.
This respect caused a chasm to appear between Wendy and Scale Concubine.
Lin Yuan asked Scale Concubine, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable after I healed you, or do you have some hidden injury?”
The Drugged Snake Eagle had noticed Scale Concubine first and had attacked with the intention of consuming it.
Thus, half of Scale Concubine’s hair had been eaten by the Drugged Snake Eagle.
The snake-hair was extremely important to the Medusa Snake Demon as it was linked to its brain. Any injury to the snake-hair could result in permanent brain damage.
But since the Jasmine Lily had used Severed Limbs Growth, all of Scale Concubine’s snake-hair should have been regrown, and it should not have any more injuries.
Scale Concubine glanced at Rising Lizard, and Lin Yuan immediately understood the reason behind its look of hesitation.
Rising Lizard stretched out its neck and roared before saying, “If something happens and you don’t let me know immediately, make sure you tell my master.”
Scale Concubine thought, Did this young man make Lord Rising Lizard into an Apostle?
“L… Lord, I saw the Drugged Snake Eagle’s Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem light up with grayish-black light. This means that it contains a fair amount of faith power.
“Now that the Drugged Snake Eagle is dead, it can’t activate the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem to protect the faith power. The energy in the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem will slowly vanish, and the faith power will seep out. It’ll be a waste if the faith power dissipates.
“May I suggest that Lord Rising Lizard absorbs the faith power? It might be able to replenish the faith power it spent making me its believer and allow it to accept another believer.”
An ethereal elderly voice sounded out from beside Lin Yuan’s ear, “The faith power in the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem comes from a group of Medusa Snake Demons under the Drugged Snake Eagle’s control.
“The Medusa Snake Demons have to do the Drugged Snake Eagle’s bidding daily and pray to it. If any of them is unable to provide the Drugged Snake Eagle with faith power, the Drugged Snake Eagle will start eating the Medusa Snake Demon’s snake-hair.
“Currently, there are about 30 Medusa Snake Demons under the Drugged Snake Eagle’s control. After three months, a significant amount of faith power has been stored in the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem.”
As close as the ethereal elderly voice was, it sounded hollow, as though it was coming from the surroundings.
Almost immediately, Lin Yuan knew that the voice came from the Class 10 Marsh Ground Sphagna.
Shock came over Lin Yuan.
The Drugged Snake Eagle was not an Apostle and could not accept believers. Hence, it was very difficult for it to collect faith power.
Lin Yuan remembered Scale Concubine mentioning that it could control 1,000 Marsh Crocodiles and that they would be able to provide Scale Concubine with five sets of faith power each day. Moreover, the effects were only so obvious because Scale Concubine’s natural skill was the Marsh Crocodile’s Song that could gain the Marsh Crocodile’s affection.
However, the Medusa Snake Demon was much more intelligent than the Marsh Crocodile.
It was difficult for intelligent lifeforms to have faith.
Additionally, the Drugged Snake Eagle was the Medusa Snake Demon’s kryptonite.
Lin Yuan could not imagine how many Medusa Snake Demons the Drugged Snake Eagle had killed to select these 30 that could supply it with faith power. He believed that it had to be at least 8,000 Medusa Snake Demons.
Scale Concubine started to tremble as though it was fearful and distraught for the deaths of the Medusa Snake Demons.
“I think that the faith power in the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem is more suitable for Lord Wendy. After Lord Wendy absorbs the faith power, it’ll be able to contact the 30 Medusa Snake Demons and domesticate them. Lord Wendy will even be able to make me into its believer with all that faith power. I can even be promoted to Favored Believer if Lord Wendy is fine with it. Then, I’ll be able to stay by Lord Wendy’s side to protect it forever.”
Lin Yuan did not expect the Class 10 Marsh Ground Sphagna to promote itself in such a manner in the hopes of becoming Wendy’s believer.
The Marsh Ground Sphagna wanted to help Wendy obtain the faith power in the Destroyed Body Exquisite Totem.
Lin Yuan was also agreeable to the idea of allowing Wendy to absorb the faith power.
