"Information on the Three-Headed Serpent can be found on the public website of The New Age. It controls three types of elemental magic with strong AOE spells. It's one of the top Sub-Legendary Bosses in the game. Compared to the Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle that appeared in the City of Light, it's much stronger by a few folds."

After listening to Lin Jie, those players, who were more knowledgeable, exclaimed in awe, "If Lone Wolf is really that powerful to be able to cut down one of the heads of the Three-Headed Serpent, we should join and see!"

"Leader Lone Wolf, I will follow you!"

"I want to see the Sub-Legendary Boss too. I missed it the last time, so I must definitely join. Maybe I can even earn some credit."

—"Player Doraemon joined the team."

—"Player Call of the Wind Element joined the team."

The notice of a new addition to the team popped up incessantly. In just a few minutes, Lin Jie's team expanded by a few times. Half of the players present had joined the team.

Baili Changcheng frowned and said softly, "You should be careful. There are many with ulterior motives."

Lin Jie said calmly, "Doesn't matter since I'm only using them as cannon fodder. Loyalty is only between family members, not to be given carelessly. We will recruit those we can into Brotherhood. The remaining ones will be used as shields for us."

Not only Baili Changcheng but even Bu Yi, Qiu Yuan, and Zheng Ziliang were shocked. They were wary of Lin Jie's intentions.

Only Netherblue understood Lin Jie's thoughts and nodded, saying, "Those who want to be recruited will naturally fight to the best of their abilities. Those with ulterior motives will just be useless other than being cannon fodder for us."

Lin Jie looked at Netherblue in surprise, feeling that she understood him. He turned to all the other players and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

Groups of people followed after Lin Jie, heading towards the Mesosaprobic Shrine.

After being killed by Lin Jie, Demon Robe and Eighteen Massacres, who were initially working together, broke off completely. Eighteen Massacres threatened to destroy Demon Robe, but he was instead caught by Demon Robe and handed over as a spy of the Blood Sub-Shrine. As for the remaining followers, after seeing that Lin Jie's army had expanded and become several times stronger, who would want to fight them? That would just be like throwing eggs at rocks. As such, they all went into hiding and were nowhere to be found.

Lin Jie smiled as he played with the water source that had been dropped from the Dark Waters Kingsnake in his hand. The Dark Waters Kingsnake was a beast that guarded the water source. Normally, the source of Dark Holy Water could be found if one dag down for 3 hours from the area the Dark Waters Kingsnake had appeared.

There were sudden flames, then ice, and wind. It was just like a mischievous child who would not stop.

'One of the Three-Headed Serpents, the Flame Serpent, wants to complete the soul transfer ritual after getting the King of Blood's corpse. In order to do so, it needs Dark Holy Water as a primer. That beast did not trust my Dragon Envoy, so when it was giving me the mission, it did not count the progress of me finding Dark Holy Water in the mission.' Lin Jie's thoughts shifted, and he gave an overview of everything that had happened so far. 'However, it will eventually need the power of the Dark Holy Water. So the source of Dark Holy Water is in the hands of the Three-Headed Serpent! We have to kill it. Before that, we have to hand over the mission items to it and let the Flame Serpent leave the body. That will decrease the power of the Three-Headed Serpent.'

That's right, everything was just a trick.

No matter how strong Lin Jie was, it would be difficult for him to cut the head of the Three-Headed Serpent, a Sub-Legendary Boss. Previously, whatever he had said had been to deceive the group of players. However, it was not entirely a lie since after he completed his mission, the Flame Serpent would indeed leave the Three-Headed Serpent through the soul transfer ritual, which would greatly decrease its strength.

Entrance of Mesosaprobic Shrine!

The gate opened. The dark-purple mist spiraled and shrouded the entire gate. Lost Camel tested the waters with his pet. The moment it came into contact with the door, a few 1,000+ numbers appeared on its head, and it was killed in the blink of an eye.

"This gate is blocked by some magic. We can't enter," reported Lost Camel.

"Leader, I'm back."

Just then, Star Kill returned hurriedly. With a swoosh, he took out a huge bunch of ingredients from his bag and dropped them onto the ground. They were the ingredients needed for the mission [Soul Ritual Transfer].

"Nice." Lin Jie nodded and said, "Brothers, wait here. I will enter and lure out the Boss. Before that, I will be giving out the basic information of the Boss to each of your respective leaders. During the battle, if you trust us, the Brotherhood, listen to the orders of Savage Blade. If you trust other people, you can listen to them. I won't force you."

In a moment, a multitude of information was sent to each of the leaders. It was information on the Three-Headed Serpent compiled by Lin Jie. However, Lin Jie had added some "small changes" beforehand, such as intentionally downplaying its skills and strength, as well as adding some random skills it may have.

Lin Jie activated Demonic Dragon Crown and transformed into the Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy.

'We were exposed as expected. Among these people, there are many not to be trusted.' After Lin Jie transformed, he glanced around and saw that the wild monsters in the Dark Shrine no longer had names that were written in green to show that they were friendly. Instead, the names had the color of fresh blood, meaning that they were enemies. This was a sign that the special effect "Dark Shrine Reputation" he had was gone.

However, this did not matter to him. What Lin Jie needed now was to find the Three-Headed Serpent.

Lin Jie headed towards the mist and successfully entered the shrine! He knew that the mist was set up by the Three-Headed Serpent and would not attack him.

Inside the Shrine.

There was a gigantic light-purple magic circle that filled the shrine with a mystical purple light. It was so beautiful as if the night sky was taken down and placed in there. There were a total of 300 points on the magic circle, with each having a large number of treasures placed on it.

"Soul Amethyst, the main ingredient of the Dark Gold equipment [Contractor's Staff]. Even a Soul Amethyst, the size of a finger, requires up to a week of digging with high-grade mining skills. There is actually one that's the size of a fist. Also, isn't the Ancient Soul Scepter made from pieces of the Dark Shrine's Dark Gold? Amazing stuff. Amazing. Seems like this magic circle is part of the soul transfer ritual… Wait, is that…?' Lin Jie stared at the treasures, looking puzzled as he inched closer.

In the heart of the magic circle laid countless of Paladins, Priests, and the body of the King of Blood. Circling the bodies was the Three-Headed Serpent! The beast of the Mesosaprobic Shrine.

The Flame Serpent lowered its head and asked solemnly, "Dragon Envoy, you are finally here? Where are the items I asked for?" The other two serpents had their eyes shut as if they were in a deep sleep.

'This Flame Serpent sealed his buddies in order to successfully transfer its soul.' Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. The mission items, which included the 1,000 souls. Flew out and circled the air.

The Flame Serpent laughed out loud and crushed all of the ingredients into powder. He threw them into the magic circle before finally saying, "Dragon Envoy, I have received the news that you are just a human from the alternate realms who had received the Demonic Dragon Crown, which is why you could transform. However, since you gave me the body of the King of Blood, I will reward you."

Ding~

—'You have completed the mission [Soul Transfer Ritual]. You received 1,400,000 EXP and 25 Dark Shrine currency.'

Lin Jie's EXP bar increased greatly. It was now at 91% of Level 38! The reward of the mission given by the Flame Serpent was indeed wonderful. As for the currency of the Dark Shrine, it was made from Undercurrent Gold with many runes carved on it. They could not be used by the Guild of Light but could be melted and given to Enchant Masters in the Sky Provisions Shop for use.

Lin Jie asked in a low voice, "Serpent, what about the Secret Legend you promised to give me?"

"Oh? What do you wish to know? I will give you the privilege to choose." The Flame Serpent watched the ritual begin with glee and casually said, "However, you have to leave this place immediately after you receive your reward."

Lin Jie frowned. If he were to leave, how would he destroy the Three-Headed Serpent's ritual and lure it out?

"I want to know the Secret Legend on the master of the Mesosaprobic Shrine. What is his identity?"

The Flame Serpent's eyes lit up, and it laughed. "I'll give you a hint. You've already met him."

"Huh?" Lin Jie's pupils shrunk as he thought of something! 'Meso00saprobic Shrine… Mesosaprobic Shrine! Could it be…?'

"Sea Mage, Laney!"

Lin Jie's eyes lit up. It was really him!

Indeed, the master of the Mesosaprobic Shrine was the Poseidon Shrine's prodigy and the fiancée of the Mermaid Princess—Sea Mage Laney!

In Lin Jie's past life, it had been rumored that the Sea Mage would only appear once every ten years. His first appearance had been during the first fishing competition. As such, there had been no news regarding the Sea Mage for years after.

'I see, that person stole the Mermaid Princess' Seaheart Pearl and left the Poseidon Shrine in such a hurry for his position as a Shrine Master.' Lin Jie understood everything now and was riled up with excitement. This must be a blessing in disguise. Since the Mermaid Princess had been snatched away, wouldn't that mean there was a chance to save her?

The Flame Serpent felt the magic power flowing from the magic circle. It said, "Human from the alternate realms, leave this place. I am going to conduct the [Soul Transfer Ritual] and do not want to waste any energy killing you. If you leave by yourself, I can even tell you where some of the treasures are hidden in the Mesosaprobic Shrine. Whether you can attain them depends on you."

As expected, a few hidden treasures appeared on the map.

Lin Jie bowed slightly and smiled. "I will take my leave first. Wish you success on your soul transfer ritual."
