Chapter 218

218 Something Happened To Frank

Selma Payne’s POV:

“In short, the moment the mutation begins, everything is irreversible. You can interrupt the process, but the part that has been mutated can never be reversed. This occasionally happens among witches and wizards, not because they believe in satan, but because of some personal feelings.”

If what Dorothy’s father said was true, then wouldn’t Linda be turning into a breeding ground for the devil?

Damn it, when did it happen?

When in the pine forest?

After thinking about it, there was only one answer. While we were rushing to the rescue, something must have happened to Linda, who was alone in the pine forest.

Moreover, the term ‘hotbed of demons’ gives us a bad feeling. What is a ‘hotbed’? Did this mean that the demons might be reborn through Linda’s body?

Was the newly born demon a clone of the demon, or was it his original body? If that were the case, wouldn’t the demon be able to easily escape the suppression of the seal with Linda’s help?

I recalled the legend of the pine forest bewitching the pedestrians. Had the demon been waiting for such an opportunity?

At this moment, I somewhat regretted my idea of using the demonic shard to find the devil’s seal. This gave the demon a chance to take advantage of the situation and even harmed a good person for nothing!

“Is there a way to break this?” I asked.

Dorothy found another passage to read to us.

“Generally speaking, demons aren’t a species that’s afraid of death, but they’re not stingy with the protection they provide for their hatcheries. The records include firmness, corrosive attacker, power rebound, vicious curse, death energy entanglement, and so on.

“But that doesn’t mean that there’s no solution. As long as we can resist the defense mechanism of the hotbed, it’s easy to destroy it. However, like there are safe and dangerous periods in a ten-month pregnancy, there are also different conditions for a hotbed.

“Generally speaking, a hotbed is at its weakest when it’s at its most chaotic state, and its connection with the carrier is also the most relaxed. Once the hotbed is formed, its defense mechanism will also mature, and its connection with the carrier will be closer.

“And one month after the incubation, the hotbed’s defense mechanism relaxes. It doesn’t matter, even if it’s attacked. At this time, the carrier’s self-consciousness has generally disappeared, becoming another evil creature. Even if it goes into premature labor, it can still survive with its strong vitality. But now the hotbed and the carrier are firmly connected. Once the hotbed collapses, the evil creature will die, and the carrier will also die.”

In other words, now was an excellent time to rescue Linda, who was in the early stage of becoming a breeding ground for the demons.

It was just that we couldn’t confirm what her defense mechanism was. It was fine if it was solid or corrosive, but there were ways to solve or cure it. They were most afraid of evil curses or spells, which could likely haunt them for a lifetime.

However, we were too far away from the royal palace. No matter how anxious we were, it would be useless. We could only hand the information to the royal palace and let my parents, Tracy, and the werewolf grandmasters handle it.

As a general, Aldrich sincerely thanked Dorothy, “Thank you, Dorothy. Linda was an excellent warrior; you saved her life.”

He had seen many soldiers die helplessly on the battlefield because of all kinds of dirty tricks.

Dorothy quickly waved her hand. “All good. This is what I should do. No one can watch a warrior who has made countless contributions be taken away by a demon for nothing.”

The third day after Frank’s departure.

We hurriedly browsed through the books and notes left behind by Mullwica, but unfortunately, we didn’t find any discoveries about the Eye of Insight.

Seeing that Dorothy’s mood was worsening, I became anxious, but to no avail.

How I wish New Flow could evolve to the point where I could devour other people’s special powers. Without the Eye of Insight, Dorothy’s life predicament would have been easily solved. However, I could only absorb physical energy, which made me wonder if there was a possibility of New Flow evolving.

However, it was all a fantasy now.

That night, another piece of bad news came. There was news from the third base that something had happened to Frank!

When we saw the remaining members of the third base go up the mountain in the night, we had a hunch that something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, the team members didn’t even have time to catch their breath before they hurriedly said, “Something happened to Captain Frank! He had suddenly fainted this afternoon. His heartbeat gradually weakened, and there were many ulcers on his body. No matter how he was called, he could not wake up. The medical team members couldn’t find any problems either. We suspect that evil forces have eroded it, so we have come to ask for the help of the werewolf grandmasters!”

What an unexpected nightmare!

We didn’t expect something to happen to Frank so suddenly. Did something happen during the three patrol days that we didn’t know about?

“What about the team members that followed Captain Frank? Where are Yuri and the others?”

If something had happened to Yuri and the others, it meant that something had happened during the patrol.

However, the team members’ answers made our hearts sink to the bottom of the valley. Yuri and the others are fine. Only Captain Frank was in trouble!
