Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 738 - 545 Eternal Scar’s Suspicions
The garden was exceptionally noisy today.
The rowdy Plagues, who could contentedly gnaw on stones and laugh foolishly all day in the garden, were seeing strangers other than themselves for the first time.
Even humans!
Lively humans! Though they appeared as Spiritual Bodies.
In their vague, distant memories, it seemed they too once looked like this.
Now, upon seeing these images from their memories, the toothy, laughing Plagues only wanted to get closer to inspect these familiar forms, to see how much these figures resembled their blurry recollections.
Perhaps they could even recall what they looked like as humans.
They swore they just wanted to get closer for a look, a touch, a feel, nothing else, with no ill intentions whatsoever.
Unfortunately, being carriers of deadly pathogens to outsiders, their mere approach was a threat.
Especially to the lone figure who had entered the garden with a sword, who immediately severed the head from the first brother who dared to get close.
Thus, all the brothers in the garden were instantly disturbed, their initial simple curiosity turning into an angry assault.
But this lone human was too fast, too mighty, and many agitated Plagues could only watch helplessly as he rushed deeper into the garden; they took out their frustration on the many human Spiritual Bodies that followed in his wake.
The entire garden seemed to come alive, the Plagues' heavy footsteps thudding dully on the soft earth. The tritoads squatting like cannons readied themselves against the intruders, their large eyes tightly shutting as they built up power, their backs' numerous pustules bursting instantly, hurling globs of thick pus towards the invaders.
The chattering Plague Spirits connected with each other, flinging the sharpest ones out like cannonballs, while large groups of them formed chains, whipping wildly across the battlefield like long whips.
"Gah gah gah!" Giant creatures with wide mouths wielded huge cleavers as they slowly advanced from a distance.
Plague Lords... a rank higher than the Rowdy Plagues in the Eternity Series Demons.
Eternity Series Demons seemed to share a common appearance: their bodies forever rotting, covered in sores and tumor-like growths, mouths upon their bodies layered with lips and teeth full of sharp fangs, and the horns on their heads, shaped like the tridents, marked the biggest difference from the Rowdy Plagues.
The deeper one went, the more formidable the demons they encountered.
Just as with the Desire Series' Slave of Desire and the Child of Desire, the Eternity Series Demons naturally had a hierarchical structure too.
Bai E's sword cut through the body of a Plague Lord, and the squirming flesh tendrils, like sentient tentacles, clung and pulled at each other, miraculously fusing back together the moment they were severed by Bai E.
Even this temporary bifurcation didn't hinder the Plague Lord's counterattack; as its body split and then melded, its right arm swung out like a giant, rusty hook, but fortunately Bai E's reflexes had grown exceptionally sharp, and he dodged just in time to avoid a direct hit.
The bloodied, resilient mass of mutated flesh retracted the rusty hook back to the original arm after reaching its maximum length, preparing it for the next strike.

The defense and vitality of Eternity Series Demons were unreasonably formidable; even if their offensive capabilities were lacking, they were enough to cause significant trouble to any foe.
Luckily, these creatures were relatively slow-moving, and this sole weakness was why the expeditionary forces could slowly clear them out.
As long as those warriors of the expedition weren't foolish, Bai E believed that, despite the complications and higher costs, they would always find a way to handle these larger demons.
As for Bai E, he could easily evade the besieging Plague Lords without entanglement, focused solely on reaching the core of the garden.

The longer he spent in the Eternal Garden, the more his Heavenly Eye Spiritual Energy brought him a sense akin to intuition—
Perhaps, even the demons in higher dimensions weren't as terrifying as the legends suggested.
When he first undertook this expedition, he didn't have much confidence; he had clashed with demon princes advanced from humans and even true great demons, all summoned into the material world, so he had a rough expectation of their strength.
But the highest among them, the Four Celestial Gods, who were said to be the true divine rulers of the higher dimension, could possibly possess overwhelming powers.
Just like how the Bug Race's Overlord first appeared on the battlefield, crushing the human armies with ease, Bai E might also stand insignificant in the presence of such beings.
However, now in the Eternal Garden—the absolute center of the enemy's power, with the Heavenly Eye's gradual collection of feedback—Bai E hadn't sensed that despair-inducing aura of overwhelming power.
