Chapter 1046: 326. Peerless Secret

“Sir, it seems like all the bloodstains within 500 meters around you have come to life!”

Nolin used “Mind View” to observe her surroundings and, seeing the scene of surging blood waves, urgently warned Noland Lee.

In the battle just now, the magma had covered the bloodstains, which were always black in color.

Now, the bloodstains had turned bright red, radiating with blood-light, their surfaces writhing as if countless tiny worms crawled beneath them.

Noland Lee’s brow furrowed as he called upon the “Tracking Marks” he had placed around the area.

He discovered that the abnormality was occurring only with the bloodstains around him.

...

At a distance of 500 meters away from himself, the bloodstains remained dry and unchanged, not turning bright and gleaming at all.

“Could it be because I activated ‘Power Burst’? Or is it because I’ve deactivated ‘Disguise as a Living Corpse’?”

With just a thought, Noland Lee maintained the ‘Power Burst’ and reactivated ‘Disguise as a Living Corpse’.

The mass of his muscles rapidly diminished, and his body contours became well-proportioned.

After transforming from a bulky, strong man into a tall and lean youth, the bloodstains around him began to settle down.

The radiance on the surface of the bloodstains visibly faded, finally reverting to the pure black color filled with deathly stillness.

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow:

“Using ‘Disguise as a Living Corpse’ to barely alter my physique and hide my real physical constitution stopped the bloodstains from reacting…”

Noland Lee attempted to undo ‘Disguise as a Living Corpse,’ revealing his magnificent stature.

As expected, the bloodstains flashed with red light.

Noland Lee hurriedly activated ‘Disguise as a Living Corpse’ again.

Looking at the bloodstains now returned to tranquility, Noland Lee had a revelation.

Indeed, it was his exposed physical condition that had triggered the bloodstains’ agitation.

It was just that he did not know what this agitation in the bloodstains signified…

As Noland Lee pondered, he sprinted towards the Demon Wizard.

Nolin led the way for him.

After a brief silence, Omar Goddard suddenly spoke up:

“I’ve remembered some things…”

“What?” Noland Lee did not stop his stride, but instead quickened his pace.

Omar Goddard recalled the past and slowly recounted:

“We, the Dusk Giants, mastered life and death and were tasked with healing the wounded…”

Omar Goddard shared the healing process he remembered witnessing based on his memories.

The method of healing among the Giant Clan was a bit peculiar.

It went like this.

As everyone knows, Giants are very, very large.

Omar Goddard, a newly matured Dusk Giant, stood about 10 kilometers tall, with shoulders at least 3 kilometers wide.

In the world that Noland Lee came from before crossing over, people used “minimally invasive techniques” for surgery.

Giants did the same.

However, the Dusk Giants used a tool for their ‘minimally invasive technique’ – themselves.

For example.

A certain Giant was unfortunate enough to have a poison gland implanted by a Cosmic Demon.

The poison gland was deep inside the Giant’s body. noveldrama

At this point, a Dusk Giant would shrink itself to below ten meters and enter the Giant’s body through a wound on its surface, locate the poison gland, and carry out the cutting and detoxifying process.

This was the ‘minimally invasive technique’ of the Dusk Giants.

Now comes the question: what scene would one encounter after entering a Giant’s body?

Correct!

It is the environment Noland Lee currently finds himself in!

This complex, seemingly endless Stone Passage, doesn’t it resemble the blood vessels within a Giant’s body?

The scene observed from outside the Pollution Zone into the zone itself was nothing but entangled black blood vessels, right?

“So you’re saying we’re actually inside a Giant’s body?” Noland Lee asked.

“That is possible,” Omar Goddard paused, then revealed his speculation:

“Each of the five Giant clans has a Commander. The Pollution Zone we are currently in should be a small part of the corpse of a Commander-class Giant. Because only a Giant of this level could possess such vast blood vessels.”

Noland Lee slowly nodded, glancing at the stone walls and bloodstains as he passed by:

“What about the stones in the blood vessels? And aren’t these bloodstains from Blood Binder Zudak? Could it be that the Commander-class Giant who fell was Blood Binder Zudak?”

Omar Goddard pondered for a moment before saying:

“No, it isn’t. The stones within the blood vessels come from another extraordinary power, not from Giants or what you called the Blood Binder. And these bloodstains, yes, I can confirm that their power is unrelated to Giants or stones.”

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow:

“Then this Pollution Zone is truly complicated, mixing three kinds of extraordinary power; Giants, stones, bloodstains… wait, what about the noise then?”

Noland Lee enveloped himself with ‘Mental Shield’ and ‘Soul Shield’.

With the combined effect of both shields, the noise from the “Bustling Tunnel” was minimized to the lowest level.

If he did not listen intentionally, Noland Lee could not detect the presence of the noise at all.

This noise… was it caused by Giants, stones, or bloodstains?

Noland Lee posed this question to Omar Goddard.

The latter, after contemplating for a long time, gave a troublesome answer:

“It is a fourth extraordinary power, yes, the fourth. This Pollution Zone contains an entire four different extraordinary powers.”

Omar Goddard then corrected himself:

“Oh, no, that’s incorrect. There are five extraordinary powers. The fifth one is the Rune in your hand. Its power is the most vibrant, far more robust than the other four.”

With that reminder from Omar Goddard, Noland Lee also recalled this fact.

Perhaps…

He should let Omar Goddard and the Assassin Angel have a chat?
