Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Cave Dweller Hero and the Existence of the Underworld

?

"Master, I've caught an interesting thing," Demon Blood announced, excitement evident in his voice.

Qin Muye, who was meditating, couldn't help but open his eyes, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Recently, Demon Blood's killing instinct had been growing stronger, as if completely unleashing the warlike factors within him.

Tian Qi, standing guard on the side, couldn't help but glare at Demon Blood, seemingly displeased by the other's disrespect, but since Qin Muye hadn't spoken, Tian Qi didn't feel it right to say anything either.

"What is it? You seem so excited, bring it here and let's have a look," Qin Muye said, somewhat helplessly.

But since it was a gesture from Demon Blood, he decided it was worth a look.

He found that Demon Blood was heading in the direction similar to Li Kui, who was essentially, 'Big Brother, wait until I chop down this fellow.'

The latter focused all his Attribute points on Battle Skills, not his brain; he was first-rate in combat, not in using his head.

From this, it was clear that even Knowledge as an Attribute could differ.

Qin Muye's Knowledge development was leaning towards learning and research; Black Hand's were internal and external affairs and management; Tian Qi's seemed to be religious knowledge and zealous faith. As for Evil Speech and Demon Blood... they didn't invest in Knowledge when leveling up. One put everything into Power and Magic Value, the other equally into attack and defense.

Thinking about it, it seemed a bit absurd.

"Bring that thing up," Demon Blood motioned, and a Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster grabbed a cave person by the scalp and stuffed them in.

The sight made Qin Muye's scalp tingle, because the cave person had no hair, so the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster just grabbed his loose scalp.

The grip was strong, almost flaying the captive.

[Hero: Ex-Floating Grass LV31]

[Profession: ???]

After the Reconnaissance Skill kicked in, Qin Muye's eyes widened. How had this level 31 been captured alive? Demon Blood... oh, he was level 21. Moreover, Qin Muye was level 19, Evil Speech level 20, Black Hand and Tian Qi level 9.

In this period, Qin Muye had learned Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill, Basic Intelligence, Intermediate Intelligence, Basic Fire System Understanding, Basic Water System Understanding, Basic Earth System Understanding, Basic Wind System Understanding, and then came Elemental Understanding as a Basic prerequisite for Basic Element Understanding and Basic Nature Understanding.

[Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill: Can investigate information about enemies one rank higher than oneself]

As for the four Elemental Understandings, they were all Basic, so it was a power +1, consumption -1; whereas Element Understanding and Nature Understanding were about adding effects and reducing consumption, respectively.

It had to be said, the truly formidable one should be Tian Qi, whose fundamental skills were all advanced, plus his exclusive Gospel Magic. Just one more level up would grant him a Talent Ascension and a Talent.

The other Spirit Monsters were quite conventional; after all, there was a clear difference in professions, which was quite normal.

Qin Muye was even worse off; his Attributes were deficient. Although Demon Blood, Evil Speech, and Black Hand didn't have professions that were Epic like Tian Qi's, they were at least rare, while Qin Muye's Scholar was a common Profession.

"A non-Undead Hero unit; what do you mean by bringing this to me, Demon Blood?" Qin Muye asked sarcastically.

This wasn't said to Demon Blood but to the cavern-dwelling hero Ex.

"Then chop it off," Demon Blood said with a sneer, he was rash but not stupid, naturally aware of the hint Qin Muye was dropping.

"Wait, respected Talent Lord, Ex-Floating Grass bids you greetings." Even though Ex, as a cavern-dwelling person, had no eyes, he could still observe his surroundings with Magic

Vision.

He could sense the terrifying might formed by the dense magic power on Qin Muye's body. Although weak himself, none of the Spirit Monsters standing beside the other party were easy to provoke, especially a certain one shrouded in a robe, holding a crystal in hand.

Ex also felt bitter inside, as he certainly knew about Spirit Monsters, those beast-shaped human masterpieces of frenzied Mages from the Silver Star Alliance, whose strength, well, let's just say he could slaughter a thousand and then return to review some biology knowledge with his wife.

But the Spirit Monsters he encountered now, even if he was a Big Spirit Monster, there was no such outrageous existence.

"Hmm, once you're done with pleasantries, Demon Blood, send him on his way. Just by looking at this gentleman's name, you can tell he's unsubmissive. Surely he's unwilling to cooperate with my experiment, but no matter, I don't mind the corpse either," Qin Muye said politely.

But Ex truly shuddered, cursing in his heart: 'Damn, this Talent Lord has also contracted the crazed tendencies of a Mage.'

As everyone knew, the Silver Star Alliance was once besieged for this very reason, and now there are only a few beast-shaped humans left, all moved underground, shunning the light- nowhere near as brazen as the one before him.

"Wait, respected Talent Lord, I think I still have some value to offer," Ex said anxiously, his heart tightening.

"Demon Blood, bring the tea. Mr. Floating Grass, please, take a seat. Had you valuable attributes you should have mentioned them sooner, I nearly misunderstood," Qin Muye said, his face changing extraordinarily fast.

Ex also felt speechless. If he had eyes, he would have rolled them at them right then.

Just as he was preparing to stand up, he suddenly sensed a low chant and killing intent, and even the faint presence of death and curses.

"No, no, great Talent Lord, I think I'm quite comfortable kneeling," Ex knew the other party was being 'polite' with him and if he believed it, a grave would be in his immediate future. "Alright then, I didn't expect you to have such a fetish," Qin Muye found this a bit odd, then continued to inquire, "Tell me then, what value do you have?"

"I am the envoy of the Underground City force Black Corner City, here to forge a collaboration with Ghost Corpse City. I believe the great Talent Lord might be able to..."

Ex hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Qin Muye.

"You mean, aside from this place, aside from those damned Undead, there's another Underground City nearby?" Qin Muye showed an intrigued expression.

'It's over...' Ex suddenly felt a surge of panic, realizing that the other party's intentions seemed even stranger than he had imagined. He had intended to coax the other party into a head-on clash with the Undead, but it seemed he had outsmarted himself.

"Yes, yes, great Talent Lord," Ex said with a forced valor.

"That's great to hear. I believe Mr. Floating Grass must be quite familiar with the

Underground City. Besides Black Corner City, are there any other towns there?"

"Sure, I, the kind of person I am, am clueless about such official matters and commands, we

have professionals to discuss these with you."

"I hope Mr. Floating Grass won't be ungrateful, otherwise you might have the honor of becoming my first cavern-dwelling specimen," Qin Muye said amiably.

As for the cavern-dwellers, he had no empathy for them; empathy required either looking similar or at least being cute or attractive. Without meeting either criterion, Qin Muye was at

a loss.
