BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1635 Troublesome Parasite Host
"I guess you really are old that you did not even think or look clearly at what his soulbound is." Old Man Pann added.
"Why would it be impossible?" Ascalor asked as he knows that monsters have senses of smell that detect their prey.
"Dodu came from a slime. They do not have a sense of smell." Adrian blurted out something obvious that the other demons stopped their laugh.
The other demons almost laughed out loud from learning of the reason as they do know that Dodu did come from a slime. Ascalor is actually getting red with embarrassment as he let his excitement get to him. This was the first time that they had a way to dispose of a World Eater Parasite without exhausting all of their mana by creating a powerful force of fifty black holes.
"I am just a bit excited that is why I said all that. Since you have dealt with the World Eater Parasite problem, the one that initially reported that should get their reward." Ascalor stated as he signed the waiver of the one that reported that anomaly.
"YES!" A loud shout came from the territory as one of the players was actually the one that reported the anomaly.
Since the players can report numerous anomalies, the system made a way for them to get the reward if the area that they pointed at was true. There are actually a lot of players that submitted reports but the place where Adrian went to is actually the real one. The player that reported that area could be seen skipping with joy as he told everyone that he completed the first part of the quest.
Some of the players did not believe him as the player in question was not even above level 200. He reported the area by chance as he saw a voracious beast eating monsters when he passed by the area earlier. He did not expect that the voracious beast that he had a glimpse of was the actual unknown monster that they needed to hunt.
The fading in and out of existence quality only manifests after five days which means any host of the World Eater Parasite will still be unknown right now. The hosts would only show signs of a voracious appetite that destroys the ecosystem on which it is living on. One may not know but field bosses also maintain the environment that they are living on.
If the field boss rampages and destroy everything in its wake, then it would die of starvation. The only way for that field boss to survive would be to takeover a territory of another field boss but they could also die in the process. This is how players often see two field bosses fighting against each other in a battle for supremacy.

The people could not believe that the player shouting his victory was not lying. They immediately flocked to him and asked how he did that, and he said that it is a secret. The player did not want the others to know that he was just lucky as he reported like ten places. Even he does not know which area he reported got accepted but all he cares about is that he gets a reward.
"To think that it was a player that reported it. I guess they are very helpful when things count. I should actually post stuff in the bulletin more often." Adrian murmured as he did think that the players would not help much but it was clear that he was wrong.
"If they are that helpful then you should post missions that help us search for rifts. They will revive upon death anyway then why not pay them while they are at it. It would have less burden for the Daemos as we do not need to search too much or infiltrate kingdoms." Ascalor stated.
"You should do that. You could give them a World Transportation Scroll as a reward per rift that they report correctly. Even you can give that reward as you can make ten of those in half an hour." Adrian stated as he did not want to fork out too much when that duty for closing rifts is for Ascalor.
"I see. If they only want that reward, then I will try." Ascalor stated as he did not think of this way before. Due to Adrian\'s suggestion, the number of rifts that were discovered increased by 20% but that is for the future.
"Are there anymore monsters that have turned rabid or incredibly voracious?" Adrian asked as that might be another lead.
"Actually, there are a lot but being voracious is not the only thing that secures a World Eater Parasite. The Venus Fly Toad was special because it was an herbivore to begin with. The other monsters that are reported are either carnivorous or omnivorous." Old Man Pann stated as he saw the monsters reported.
"There is a troublesome monster that is reported but I am not sure if it is true." Ascalor stated as he pulled the image of the monster.
The monster that Ascalor pulled the image of is one of the most powerful field bosses in the central continent. It was the Behemoth that had the level of 350 and is the size of a small mountain or a hill. It was a gigantic monster that is like the combination of a rhinoceros, a hippo and a woolly mammoth.
The behemoth rarely moves and rampages as it sleeps or rather hibernates for five years. The cool characteristic of a behemoth is that it turns itself to stone whenever it sleeps. You could actually be traveling inside a behemoth instead of a mountain as they are that transformative.
There is even a story of people living near mountains that when the mountain itself shakes then you might actually be inside of a sleeping behemoth. This story has often become true as there have been accounts of behemoths waking up and killing all living beings that attached itself to its body. There was even a civilization back then that dwelled on top of a behemoth and moves with it when it wakes up, but they are no longer done.
"You want me to inspect that Behemoth?" Adrian asked as even he does not know if he can take care of a monster like that.
"We are not that harsh. You just need to inspect if it woke up due to having the World Eater Parasite inside of it. This Behemoth woke up a few days ago which is in line with the time that report of yours. This beast was reported by that True Saint named Lime. You can follow her up on the details as she is still here in Avalon." Ascalor stated.
Adrian tried to remember the player named Lime as he has encountered her before. He then remembered the particular being that was living in this place with human parents. He remembered that she was the one that helped that Metamorph.
"If I remember correctly, Bronx tasked that Metamorph as a guard since he could see through other shapeshifters. Very good job and use of its talents if you ask me." Adrian stated as he went to see the True Saint player named Lime.

In a region where mountains are abundant, players from all over the world started to gather to where the Behemoth was. It was the strongest field boss that they have found and a lot of them are trying to raid it. It is said that the Heart of a Behemoth can grant mortals to extend their lives by fifty years which means kings from all over the continent would want it.
