The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

Lin Ye didn’t go too close to the burly man, observing this unexpected intruder through a mechanical rat instead.

Undoubtedly, since this guy is injured, his Life Value is definitely at 0, unable to naturally recover, only his innate essence keeping him going.

Of course, the most likely case is that this guy is a thoroughly demonized demon!

Once humans become abyssal creatures, they no longer lose life due to injuries, which is one of the few advantages human Professionals have over demons.

But regardless of which of these two scenarios it is, it signifies that this guy’s current condition isn’t very good.

“Who’s there!”

At that moment, the guy suddenly turned towards where the mechanical rat was, before Lin Ye could give a retreat command, he picked up a stone and hurled it.

The stone flew through the air with a ‘whoosh’ and hit the mechanical rat directly, leaving Lin Ye no time to dodge.

The image was abruptly cut off, causing Lin Ye to raise an eyebrow.

The guy’s strength indeed exceeded expectations by being able to detect his mechanical rat.

The mechanical animals Lin Ye had were all refined through “Spiritual Essence,” something that Third-Transformation and below Professionals couldn’t detect at all.

As for Fourth-Transformation and above Professionals, Lin Ye didn’t hope to deceive them with such methods.

Any Professional who reaches Fourth-Transformation level isn’t trivial; trying to gather intelligence in front of such people with just a small mechanical animal is a pipe dream.

Though his mechanical rat was discovered, Lin Ye had gathered some information about the burly man.

The man’s strength was at least at the level of a Fourth-Transformation Professional or a Demon Monarch. Considering he was being hunted by the Demon Hunting Army, he was likely a Demon Monarch.

Due to the distance, Lin Ye didn’t dare to approach rashly for more details, but a wounded Demon Monarch is still a formidable opponent; eliminating them wouldn’t be easy.

The crucial point is, since this guy detected the mechanical rat, he certainly wouldn’t expose himself easily again.

“Maybe I can make use of this…”

Lin Ye muttered softly, looking towards a nearby rift, from which low growls and creepy chewing sounds emanated.

Within the rift, crystals formed by the power of a Demon God contained tiny amounts of Origin Power, attracting many powerful demons.

Even though the amount of Origin Power was minuscule, it was incredibly alluring to abyssal demons. Over time, a large group of demons exceeding expectations had gathered in this rift.

“This is the territory of the Hundred-Level Demon, the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake, an avatar of an Existence Demon God…”

The avatars of the Existence Demon God number in the thousands and vary in form, but all are invariably powerful.

This area became a Forbidden Land under the shadow of the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake, but it’s the very edge of its territory.

Its true core territory should be a hundred miles away in the Southern Wilderness Mountain Range.

The lush mountain range spanning a hundred miles transformed into a Forbidden Land when the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake took over, and no one dared to intrude.

It’s said that the human Strongest, Liu Tianyuan, fought the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake for months without being able to destroy it, eventually giving up.

As an avatar of an Existence Demon God, this giant snake’s recovery ability is astonishingly strong, almost immortal.

However, the terrain in the Southern Wilderness Mountain Range cannot form large human settlements, so it remains a low-priority target in the Alliance’s reclamation plans.

Currently, the Alliance focuses first on reclaiming areas suitable for humans and capable of supporting large settlements.

The Southern Wilderness Mountain Range has no immediate plans for handling.

The critical thing is, the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake rarely causes trouble; as long as human professionals don’t cause issues in its territory, it won’t attack.

Since its encounter with Liu Tianyuan, it mostly hides in the Southern Wilderness Mountain Range, rarely appearing.

That battle must have left a deep psychological impact on this top-level demon.

However, what is certain is that the Thousand-eyed Giant Snake has a strong territorial instinct; if you dare to cause trouble in its domain, it will undoubtedly retaliate.

It’s this attribute that often left Lin Ye at a loss with the rift.

But now, with a Demon Monarch’s arrival, Lin Ye saw an opportunity to stir things up…

It’s well known that abyssal Demon Gods have strained relations. Otherwise, humanity might have long vanished.

In fact, the strife among abyssal Demon Gods is far more intense than their conflicts with humans.

When fighting over Origin Power, they aim to completely obliterate their opponents, not just seize their energy.

As for Lin Ye, from a certain perspective, he’s practically a candidate Demon God.

If he wanted, he could immediately solidify his Origin Qi Vortex into a core, becoming a Demon God.

However, unless necessary, Lin Ye wouldn’t do this…

He doesn’t know what consequences becoming a Demon God might bring, and the Origin Qi Vortex is just one of many cards up his sleeve, not to be used unless required.

But now, this Origin Qi Vortex could be used to create some chaos.

With this vortex, posing as a top Demon Monarch would be too easy, albeit risky but feasible.

The appearance of the burly man indeed brought an opportunity for Lin Ye.

…

“Just an ordinary mechanical rat…”

Tao Meng picked up a shattered mechanical rat from a corner, examining it before reaching a conclusion.

In his impression, this type of mechanical rat was the lowest in the mechanical puppets, with high-level Puppet Masters having better options—none would use this type.

“No one around either; they probably ran as soon as they saw me,” Tao Meng muttered with a frown.

How far could a Puppet Master’s control range be using this level of machinery? A hundred meters max…

That was likely the maximum range of his perception.

“Forget it, let’s move to a different place!” he grumbled.
