Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

"Hope this works."

Uffie gripped the Blood Collection Bottle tightly, the thick blood inside swaying, giving off a strange sensation.

She looked at the increasing number of Warrior Country soldiers arriving and couldn't help but sigh.

"If it doesn't work... I really don't want to do this."

Blood Therapy, as Uffie learned from Fanen, was this kind of "ritual" that allowed her to resist the parasites.

To inject blood of some unknown creature into one's body in the hope of curing diseases seemed to be the purpose of Yarn's Blood Therapy—such was the speculation of the survivors based on scattered clues.

All related actions looked suspicious no matter how you viewed them, with the blood's origin unknown, possible Beastification, and various unknown creatures suspected to be lurking in Yarn; if there were a choice, Uffie probably wouldn't accept Blood Therapy, but back then, circumstances left her no choice.

Besides, having witnessed Maria made it seem worth the price!

Internally, she still held many doubts about Yarn. Everything this city showcased, whether its architectural style, daily used objects, or culture, had never appeared in history, making it feel incredibly foreign. Moreover, in Yarn City, she hadn't seen any Monster or Magic, only Beastification Disease patients.

The feeling was so strange, like entering another world.

But she didn't have the concept of "crossing worlds." If forced to describe it, she would feel like she entered a world created by some mad fantasist.

No matter the doubts in her heart, for now, Yarn and Blood Therapy hadn't shown any negative effects on humans. If it hadn't appeared, Savis City would have long lost any living being. Fairly speaking, this Dungeon was indeed a major contributor, so Uffie temporarily set aside her doubts and focused on how to best utilize it.

The Dungeon couldn't be moved, so what could they take with them?

Thus, she naturally targeted the Blood Collection Bowl.

This was something produced by the Dungeon, provided to people similar to "Healing Potion" in that its recovery efficiency was really high, but the downside was that it required an injection into the body to be effective, which wasn't great for those afraid of pain.

And the indifferent point was that people had no idea what exactly the blood in the Blood Collection Bottle was. It seemed similar to the blood used in Blood Therapy. The consequences of injecting a lot of this into the body were unknown, so cautious people would think carefully before using it.

Although Uffie was cautious, she knew that during calamity, she couldn't be too particular and needed to use everything available.

According to Fanen and his team's field tests, even those who hadn't undergone Blood Therapy could gain temporary resistance to parasites after injecting a Blood Collection Bottle. However, if the number of parasites entering the body was too high, the resistance would fail, so Blood Therapy was still the safest option.

So, what if someone who'd already been parasitized injected a Blood Collection Bottle?

This was Uffie's main concern because from the image that flashed through her mind at that time, her soldiers definitely drank the wine containing parasites; even if no symptoms showed, the parasites surely had taken residence in their bodies.

And the conclusion reached after some tests on this issue was:

If the parasites inside weren't overly active, injecting a lot of Blood Collection Bottle should be able to drive the parasites out. If the parasites were active but the parasitized body showed no significant mutation, the Blood Collection Bottle could temporarily awaken the parasitized person, and bringing them to the Dungeon in time might save them with Blood Therapy.

But if the parasitized person showed obvious mutations, then there was no saving them, and sending them to the Dungeon would only lead to their destruction by the Dungeon.

Holding onto a sliver of hope, Uffie still brought many Blood Collection Bottles here, just as she expected, the Insect King entrenched in the Capital indeed sent its subordinates to deal with her, indicating the Insect King also possessed intelligence.

"Roar!"

The parasitized Flying Dragon roared, and dense scales suddenly appeared on the body of the warrior riding them, growing larger while their eyes turned identical to the Flying Dragon's. This was the unique ability of the Flying Dragons nurtured by the Warrior Country, granting nearby warriors dragon strength with its roar, allowing these Dragonized Warriors to achieve strength slightly inferior to Dragon Blood Warriors.

Besides Uffie, these two Flying Dragons were the main strength of the rescue army; two Flying Dragons were enough to dominate small-scale wars.

To parasitize and fully control even the Flying Dragons and Dragonized Warriors, the Hidden Blood Parasite was indeed a presence that had caused disasters, further raising the value of the Dungeon's Sealed Item.

Fanen felt the oppressive force from the Dragon Roar, glanced at Uffie, and decisively withdrew from the battlefield between her and the Flying Dragons, focusing solely on the confrontation with the parasites.

On the other side, the two Flying Dragons, carrying the fierce Dragonized Warriors, rushed aggressively, coordinating their scorching fire breath with the warriors' thrown long spears to form an almost unavoidable encirclement.

Yet until the flames scorched the air and the long spears burst into lethal fragments, no scream from Uffie was heard, not even a bit of sound.

Suddenly, a Dragonized Warrior only felt a pain at the back of his neck, as thick blood was abruptly injected into his body.
