Chapter 1964
"Your Highnesses, there is something I need to mention to you all."
During the process of clearing out the monsters, I investigated some clues about the Holy Spirit Cult and discovered some unusual things.
He paused, then continued, "I suspect there may be a large-scale trade in demonic materials on Meteorite Star."
"Demon Materials Trade?"
Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Demon race, monster race."
Their scales, bones, blood, and even certain special organs have extremely high value in the universe.
Materials from high-level demons, in particular, are essential for crafting weapons, potions, and even certain special cultivation resources.
Hughes explained with a solemn expression, "But within the territory of the human race in the universe, the traces of the demon race are actually extremely rare, and it is not easy to obtain their materials."
So, some people thought of capturing demons.
Then, they deliberately allowed demonic energy to corrupt ordinary people, transforming them into demons.
Wait until the monster grows to a certain stage before harvesting it.
Take the materials from their person for trading.
The advantage of doing this is that it provides a continuous supply of demon materials.
And there's no need to risk leaving human territory to go to the outer battlefield and kill the demons.
The appearance of monsters can be attributed to accidents or small-scale demonic invasions, without triggering large-scale investigations.
The moment these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Isn't this similar to the current situation on Meteorite Planet?
Yueying's pretty face instantly turned icy cold, and a cold light flashed in her gray gem-like eyes.
Her silver hair moved without wind, and she exuded a chilling killing intent.
"Such a thing actually happened!"
As an elven princess, she worshipped the goddess of life.
Such heinous transactions, which come at the cost of countless ordinary lives, are naturally abhorrent.
Xu Jingming's gaze also turned slightly cold as he asked, "Hughes, have you found any evidence?"
"It's just a suspicion at the moment, because I've found some unusual signs of monster harvesting."
Some monsters have obvious wounds from materials being removed by humans.
But this is not enough to constitute conclusive evidence.
Hughes shook his head and added:
"However, Your Highness."
If my suspicions are true, then the Giant Tank Demon is a high-ranking demon of the seventh rank of the Star Realm.
And it is the source of all the monsters on this meteorite planet.
Its spatial ring likely contains relevant transaction records, ledgers, or communication records.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming immediately understood Hughes's meaning and nodded, saying:
"Okay, let me take a look."
He took out the dark red ring from the Giant Tank Demon.
The ring's surface was covered with intricate demonic runes, emanating a faint fluctuation of demonic energy.
With a flick of his mental power, Xu Jingming easily shattered the original mark left on it.
He immediately probed into it with his mental energy and began to examine it carefully.
Upon seeing this, his pupils suddenly contracted!
The interior of the spatial ring was extremely spacious, covering an area of at least tens of square kilometers, and reaching a height of four or five meters.
At this moment, this vast space was densely packed with all sorts of demonized limbs, organs, and bones!
It has enormous arms covered in scales, twisted and deformed organs, and bones that radiate a purple glow...
These materials were categorized and arranged, and some were even labeled.
It is labeled with words such as 'Starry Sky Tier 3 Scales', 'Starry Sky Tier 1 Bone Spikes', and 'High-Quality Magic Crystals'.
Moreover, in a corner of the space, there were dozens of thick ledgers and several communication wristwatches scattered around.
Xu Jingming's face immediately darkened.
Hughes's suspicions were true!
Not only does the trade in demon materials exist on Meteorite Star, but its scale far exceeds imagination!
He withdrew his mental energy and took out all the ledgers and communication tokens from the ring.
"boom--"
Dozens of account books fell heavily onto the coffee table with a dull thud.
Xu Jingming picked up the top book and opened it.
It was filled with detailed records of the time, quantity, type, and counterparty of each transaction...
The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.
Yueying, Lanyu, and others also gathered around.
Upon seeing the contents of the ledger, everyone's expression turned grim.
"These beasts!"
Yueying bit her red lips tightly with her pearly teeth.
Behind every transaction lies the loss of countless ordinary lives!
What's even more infuriating is that the ledgers show this trade has been going on for hundreds of years!
This means that countless lives have already been harvested as 'materials'...
Just as everyone was shocked by the dirty deal behind it, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the villa:
"Greetings, Your Highnesses from Starry Sky Academy. I am Morey, the Lord of Meteorite Star Planet."
My distinguished guest has come from afar, and I have not yet been able to properly welcome him; this is truly impolite.
"Would you do me the honor of coming in and meeting everyone now?"
