Chapter 1200: Chapter 348: Capturing the Second Venerable!
Therefore, this also leads many creatures to come here to try their luck.
Of course, since this place belongs to Blood Crocodile Venerable’s territory, and there are believers of Blood Crocodile Venerable patrolling, these creatures are extremely cautious.
After understanding the current situation of Blood Crocodile Swamp, Fang Ze began to execute his plan, leveraging his experience from capturing the Venerable Moon Rabbit.
He first used the [Darkness] ability to wander the Blood Crocodile Swamp, looking for a lone Blood Crocodile Believer. Then, he quietly apprehended the lone Blood Crocodile Believer and used the [Lie Rootless Vine] for interrogation to learn about the current situation of the Blood Crocodile Believers, and finally transformed into that Blood Crocodile Believer he had captured.
From the lone Blood Crocodile Believer, Fang Ze learned about the situation of the Blood Crocodile Believers.
Similar to what the Flower God mentioned. The Blood Crocodile Venerable no longer has believers from his original race. Now, all believers have been later gathered from various worlds.
This has led to the Blood Crocodile Venerable’s believers being not only faction-ridden but also lacking in talent: each race was once the protagonist of the world, endowed with the world’s destiny. Even if the world is destroyed, this destiny would be distributed among the semi-gods and ordinary creatures of that race. Therefore, the more believers from a race, the more destiny they can share, and the higher the probability of talents appearing among the believers.
In the case of the Blood Crocodile Venerable, who has gathered believers from various races, the believers from each race have only a little bit of the race’s destiny, making the probability of geniuses appearing much lower.
Additionally, different races cannot intermarry, resulting in scarce offspring, so the probability of geniuses appearing is even lower.
Fewer geniuses mean fewer experts.
And the lifespan of this world is related to strength, so the followers of the Blood Crocodile Venerable are becoming fewer and fewer.
According to the believer: Blood Crocodile Venerable has been in seclusion for 50 years, and now only dozens of believers remain, most of whom have never seen Blood Crocodile Venerable and lack much power – only one above the Ascension level, and none at the Absolute Pinnacle level. It’s quite pitiful.
After learning about the current state of the Blood Crocodile Venerable’s followers, Fang Ze didn’t stop in his pursuit of capturing the Blood Crocodile Venerable. He continued to infiltrate the Blood Crocodile Venerable’s followers following his previous successful experience.
Compared to the strict defense and hierarchy of the Moon Rabbit Palace, Blood Crocodile Venerable’s defenses are like a sieve, and Fang Ze almost effortlessly infiltrated the core area and replaced the sole expert at the Ascension level.
From the Ascension level expert, Fang Ze also learned more details about the Blood Crocodile Venerable.
According to the Ascension level expert, Blood Crocodile Venerable is a Martial Combat Demigod with powerful combat strength and rich battle experience, ranking within the top ten, top five in the Heaven Beyond the Heavens.
However, he is tyrannical, unpredictable, fond of killing, and enjoys blood meals – even his own followers, if they disagree, he might eat them, causing his followers to fear him greatly.
Moreover, Blood Crocodile Venerable trusts no one, even though this Ascension level believer is his only high-level believer, during his slumber, he didn’t give this believer management rights over the Blood Crocodile Swamp, only a title—this is why the Blood Crocodile Swamp is so chaotic, and this believer is powerless.
Moreover, this Ascension level believer is indeed responsible for helping Blood Crocodile Venerable manage the Power of Laws. However…. the divine power protective layer has a radius of at least eight meters, separated by a room in between, making it impossible for him to approach or see Blood Crocodile Venerable. This makes the believer even more resentful.
So when Fang Ze interrogated him, he had no hesitation in selling out the Blood Crocodile Venerable completely.
This made Fang Ze feel both amused and more knowledgeable about the Venerable he was about to subdue.
Following this, after thoroughly investigating the situation with the Blood Crocodile Venerable, Fang Ze began executing the final step of his plan: capturing the Blood Crocodile Venerable.
He transformed into the Ascension-level believer of the Blood Crocodile Venerable, entered the temple where the Blood Crocodile Venerable was slumbering, borrowed both the Power of Faith and Power of Laws to simulate the divine power of the Blood Crocodile Venerable, and like last time, broke through the divine power protective layer of the Blood Crocodile Venerable.
However…. when passing through the divine power protective layer, Fang Ze felt something was amiss: he didn’t seem to sense the presence of divine power, was the divine power protective layer just an empty shell?
With doubt, he reached the resting place of the Blood Crocodile Venerable.
It was a blood-colored divine throne, where the Blood Crocodile Venerable sat on the throne, supporting his forehead with his right hand, elbow on the throne’s armrest, as if fallen into a slumber.
Fang Ze, transformed into a shadow, silently moved next to the Blood Crocodile Venerable, and while Blood Crocodile Venerable was unguarded, silently murmured “capture” to take the Blood Crocodile Venerable into the Demigd Prison!
Having completed this most crucial step, Fang Ze finally felt at ease. He deactivated the [Darkness] ability, transformed into the Blood Crocodile Venerable, intending to maintain the barrier. However…. he discovered that the entire Blood Crocodile Swamp’s barrier was independently operated, not connected to “him” at all?
‘Huh? That’s strange.’ Fang Ze hesitated, sat on the divine throne, wanting to sense the Blood Crocodile Venerable’s condition, and at that moment, suddenly felt something hard beneath him.
