The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 231 - 142: Triple-headed Flame Demon_2

In terms of defense, the Stone Demon was on par with the armored horse at the same level.

On the other hand, it had several weaknesses such as slow movement, slow reactions, and vulnerability to water spirits...

But it also had strengths, such as its great power and brutal nature... Out of 100 points, the Stone Demon scored at least 80.

As for the young demon up for auction...

It had no wings, a thin body, one eye, and two mouths...

Ye Hanjun concluded it to be a Monkey Demon.

A Monkey Demon, even when fully grown, remains small and is not adept at physical combat.

Its strength lies in its nimbleness, especially in forest-like environments; it could use twigs, vines, shrubs... making it extremely difficult to catch.

Aside from this, the Monkey Demon also possessed sonic abilities.

A surprise roar could potentially stun the enemy.

In Ye Hanjun’s mind, the Monkey Demon was worth even more than the Stone Demon, roughly 85 out of 100 points.

However...

Despite the simple considerations, Ye Hanjun was still furrowing his eyebrows.

Fortunately, his journey to the Giant Frog Marsh allowed him to locate a demon, which meant his role as a Demon Servant was not stagnating for the past five years.

But unfortunately, whether it was the Royal City of Red Frog Country or Blue Frog Country, both were far away and fraught with danger.

This—was not an issue he could easily resolve at this stage.

After deliberating for some time, Ye Hanjun pushed down his churning thoughts, intending to finish reading the rest of the information in the scroll before making further plans.

Unexpectedly, there were more surprises to come.

The 15th piece of information read as follows:

[Information 15: To the north of Canghai Pavilion, close to the border of Blue Frog Country, there lies an area seldom frequented by humans.]

[There is a Chaos Burial Mountain, where spirits of the dead and demons have been appearing frequently over the recent decades...]

[At the foot of Chaos Burial Mountain, there is a small village of less than a hundred residents. The young ones are all mortals, while the adults are essentially all patrons...]

[Due to living near the Chaos Burial Mountain, many people in the Chaos Burial Village have hunted demons. Some Patron’s Contracted Spirits are even demons...]

[Rumor has it that the types of demons found in Chaos Burial Mountain exceed ten. Amongst them, the most dangerous and powerful ones are undoubtedly the ’Flame Demons’...]

[Note: This information has been passed down from our family predecessors who have visited the place many years ago, confirming the existence of Chaos Burial Mountain and demons.]

[However... should time have changed things and the landscape of Chaos Burial Mountain have altered, please do not hold the information provider accountable...]

"Chaos Burial Mountain... Chaos Burial Village... Flame Demons..."

The hand holding the scroll unconsciously exerted some strength.

Ye Hanjun’s eyes gleamed with interest. This piece of information was more captivating to him than earlier mentions of the Stone Demon and Monkey Demon.

Firstly, the place mentioned in the information was indeed quite far from Canghai Pavilion as well.

However, compared to the Royal City of Blue Frog Country, or even traveling out of the country towards the Red Frog Country, the challenge was halved. It was something feasible for him at his current level.

Secondly, Chaos Burial Mountain hosted a variety of demon species, indicating that the environment leaned towards darkness. This undoubtedly presented him with more options.

Lastly, of utmost importance, is the information’s mention of ’Flame Demon’!

Among the lower-ranked types of demons, Flame Demons were undoubtedly of high quality.

They wielded fiery elemental powers, could cast spells, and were capable of physical combat, offering a well-rounded combat ability.

Moreover, while Stone Demons and Monkey Demons do not have a natural path to Ascending Evolution and need a different approach.

The Flame Demon was different.

Advancing from the 2nd rank to the 3rd rank, was the ascension of the Rainbow Light Fetus to the Jade Infant Fetus.

The Flame Demon could naturally evolve into a ’Double-headed Flame Demon’, sprouting an additional head, and drastically increasing its might.

Not only that, if it could be nurtured to the Annihilation Degree Fetus of the 5th Rank, the Double-headed Flame Demon could even progress to the form of a ’Triple-headed Flame Demon’.

Triple-headed Flame Demon—that was an advanced demon!

Three heads simultaneously spewing flames could ignite a prairie fire, instantly vaporizing a hundred-meter wide river, incinerating herds of wild beasts into charcoal, and creating an astonishing spectacle in sight...

Ye Hanjun’s heart rate quickened.

He admitted that he was intrigued.

The Flame Demon’s evaluation could reach over 90 points!

The fact that a high-quality species like the Flame Demon existed in the Giant Frog Marsh stirred up his tranquil heart... How could it not be excited?

If he could contract the Flame Demon, his progress as a Demon Servant was certain to be substantial!

With the active ability ’Demon Altar’, it wouldn’t take long before he could advance to the 2nd rank and rapidly catch up with the Instructor’s progress.

If considering another active ability, ’Enchantment’, things would get even more interesting.

If the Flame Demon’s Bloodline Power was infused into his body, Ye Hanjun could likely transform into a being of flame.

At that point, spewing flames from his mouth, punching through armor, and walking on charred earth... none of this would be too difficult.

...

The provider of this information also chose to remain anonymous, thus Ye Hanjun had no way to ask for more details.

However, when he left the Task Hall, his mind was made up.

He was indifferent about the Stone Demon and Monkey Demon.

But he had to visit Chaos Burial Mountain, no matter what!

After making his decision, Ye Han kicked off preparations immediately, heading over to the Selection Hall to temporarily suspend his cooking courses afterwards.

The mentors in the academy couldn’t simply exist to teach.

They needed to cultivate and grow too.

As long as they were dedicated and considerate towards the academy on usual days.

When necessary, taking leave to rest was as simple as eating and drinking.

Once that was handled, Ye Hanjun rushed over to Cross Old Street to stock up on supplies.

Now that his destination was clear, and given the presence of both demons and the undead, he could make preparations accordingly.
