Chapter 493: Jade Snake Sect Dungeon
-----
"Anyways, aside from that, we are going to clean the Dungeons!" I said.
"Oooh! I wonder what do they got in these dungeons?" wondered Yuki.
"Maybe they got another type of food like the Winter Lotus?" asked Benladann.
"I see! Perhaps they got fruits and vegetables." Said Miranda.
"No, they probably got more ground animals, or perhaps a variety of birds and eggs…" said Rakasha.
"I hope it could be something like that, I've wanting to eat more egg." Sighed Benladann.
"You always want to eat more of everything." Said Miranda, petting Benladann's belly.
"The baby likes it!" said Benladann.
"I think Drake is spoiling you a bit too much now, you're going to end fat even after giving birth to the baby…" said Miranda.
"Hahah! Miranda, you're so funny sometimes. That could never happen. I am fit!" said Benladann.
"Anyways, no, it is none of what you expect… I already researched it with the sect master and what's inside are… venomous and poisonous creatures." I said.
"EH?!"
Everyone was rather shocked.
"Yeah, this sect is filled with poison users, they're all users of poison magic, and they have a spell that allows them to eat poison and venoms and add them to their bodies, they're immune to most toxins and can secrete them through saliva and their nails… this is how deadly they can be. So when you see the cliché of the guy licking a knife before stabbing you, it makes sense in this perspective." I said.
"W-What? So they're all poison eaters? Is all their cuisine made of poison?" asked Rakasha.
"We haven't eaten anything here thankfully." Said Draugann.
"No, no, you're getting it all wrong, they consume poison up to a certain amount but the majority of the time they just make normal food, they have adapted a cuisine that purifies the toxins and even changes them around, mixing them and negating each other of the toxins from the ingredients." I said.
"Now that's weird… Maybe we should try it out." Said Yuki.
"And die?!" asked Pekora.
"Drake said it wouldn't be bad! Don't be such a coward." Sighed Yuki.
"Well I am not being a coward! I am simply not into dying miserably like you like to do." Said Pekora.
"What are you even talking about?" sighed Yuki.
"Okay stop talking for once, beast-girls." Sighed Rakasha.
"As I said earlier, we are going to do this off-camera." I said.
"Camera?" asked Draugann.
"What's a camera?" asked Rakasha.
"Hahah… Right! You don't even know what's a camera… Ugh. Well, it is a thing you use to take pictures and- Agh! Why am I even explaining that if you'll never see one? I mean that we'll do it without doing it ourselves, I will send my tamed pets, the other day Kumo was able beat another dungeon with the same spider as her with her powers and my buffs. So we'll do that for now." I said.
"Oohh… I guess you're already set, then what do we do in the meantime?" asked Tisha.
"I don't know, train? Enjoy life? Whatever you want- Ah! You can go to the kitchen to pick up food, I left my clones working there… they're new guys I got after evolving into an eight-headed dragon, I can make each head a different clone. They're way too different from me so they're almost not me in a sense, some even are not my gender." I said.
"Huh?! You never told me that!" said Benladann.
"Precisely because you would react all surprised, dear." I sighed.
"Ahh… Y-You got eight freaking heads now?! This is crazy!" said Benladann.
"Are the clones you?" asked Miranda.
"Not really and yes, I share their minds and senses, but they feel like different people altogether… So don't treat them like you would treat me." I said.
"Understood." Said Yuki.
"Well, kids, are you hungry? Let's go grab some food." Said Rakasha.
"Alright!" the kids followed Rakasha and the rest, Benladann and Miranda ended following them with Belle, I quickly went on my own to the dungeons.
I found Thaletus on the way.
"Ah, lord Drake, I apologize so much for not offering any food! We have been so concentrated in the kids we had forgotten about everything else! But please go to the hall so we can serve you our sect's food." Said the old man.
"Oh, I used your empty kitchen to cook my own food with our ingredients, my family went there just now to eat some more, so I guess you can prepare after they're done. I will go clear the dungeons for now, good luck." I said.
"Eh?! Ah… O-Okay…" the Rank 4 old man looked at me in surprise as I jumped outside the window and reached the floor flawlessly rushing towards the nearby dungeon.
This sect only has 1 dungeon at Rank 3, so it's not gonna be hard to complete nor it will take long. But what resources can you get other than poisonous monsters from it? I guess for poisonous beings like me, that's pretty nice.
But the rest? Well, poison and venoms are toxins and chemicals, so you can actually use them to make alchemy and all sorts of crafts. Also this sect adapted to them and require these poisons into their diets to maintain their special bloodline trait that let them digest poison and venom and assimilate it into their bodies to secrete into saliva, blood, and from specialized glands below their nails.
Despite being ice giants you could call them Venomous Giants, or Poison Giants… or Toxic Giants, whatever's the case, they're clearly not normal ice giants…
The System quickly gave me a prompt, it appears that what I thought was indeed a fact and true…
