Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 621 - 600: Second Update

The dungeon was enveloped in silence, and the sounds from outside could now be clearly heard, diminishing the previous excitement and hope of everyone inside. They faintly realized that even if they could escape, the sinister creature would not be easily dealt with.

"Master, no matter what, it’s still better than being trapped here forever," a disciple said through gritted teeth in the darkness.

"Yes, Master, as long as we can get out, as long as that thing can destroy the Ghoul Ravine, it would also be avenging our fellow brothers."

"Quick, go report..." A disciple of the Ghoul Ravine pushed away his companion beside him, positioning his body in front of the dark creature. The pushed disciple of the Ghoul Ravine, unable to speak, awkwardly ran out towards where the Young Master was.

The dark creature slowly moved towards the dungeon entrance, its movements not fast. It seemed as if its speed had already slowed down considerably by the time it reached the dungeon. However, inside the dungeon, where the already sick disciples of the Ghoul Ravine were previously placed, everything was in disarray, and the black viscous liquid was everywhere on the ground.

"Brother, look, look—" The disciples of the Ghoul Ravine who had retreated back into the dungeon were pointing at the black viscous liquid on the ground with a voice full of terror. Many more had already noticed the changes in the black liquid.

The black viscous liquid on the ground slowly moved as if alive, gradually coming together to form black mud loach-like shapes, continuously rolling towards the outside of the dungeon.

Several higher-ranking disciples of the Ghoul Ravine from the Ling generation looked at each other. They had seen this scene before, but at that time, the black mud loaches had moved aimlessly like headless flies. Now, however, it was different. These things seemed alive or as if they were heading somewhere with a purpose.

A thought simultaneously dawned on them, involving the strange creature outside and its connection to their companions’ sickness. It definitely had to be related.

However, before they could speculate further, the scene unfolding before their eyes nullified their guesses. The black "mud loaches" swiftly rolled towards the dark creature and were instantly swallowed up by the black smoke surrounding it.

The disciples of the Ghoul Ravine suddenly realized that in this short time, the dark creature seemed to have grown even larger.

"What do we do?" the disciples of Ghoul Ravine were now completely panicked. This monster had flung Elder Su out right before their eyes, and they were no match for it, but why did this creature appear here?

The disciples of the Ghoul Ravine glanced back, but there were no other exits in the dungeon. They were effectively blocked inside the dungeon.

"What can we do?" More disciples of the Ghoul Ravine began to panic.

"Drag two disciples from the Qiandao Temple out and throw them out," Ling Yu immediately spoke up. By delaying things, they could live a bit longer. Perhaps the Young Master had already received the news of their situation.

Two disciples of the Ghoul Ravine immediately headed deeper into the dungeon, not bothering to choose and directly dragged out two Mages from the nearest cells of the Qiandao Temple.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you going to do?" the dragged disciples from the Qiandao Temple shouted loudly, causing unrest among the others in the dungeon.

"What are you doing, put him down, I’ll go instead—" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Stop it—" Within the dungeon, other disciples hurriedly shouted, but the disciples of Ghoul Ravine had already ignored them, dragging a person out and immediately throwing him at the dungeon entrance.

Everyone watched in terror as the black creature approached step by step.

Meanwhile, the thrown Mage of Qiandao Temple had not reacted at first. Although he did not understand why these people from Ghoul Ravine suddenly "released" him, seeing those disciples from Ghoul Ravine staring at him in terror, he realized something was behind him.

Turning around, the Mage of Qiandao Temple who had just stood up, immediately fell down again, terrified as the huge creature loomed just two meters in front of him.

The Mage of Qiandao Temple tried to crawl backwards using his hands and feet, but in the next moment, the black creature had already reached his feet.

"Ah—let go of me, let go of me—" The mage immediately started slapping his feet and in desperation, released his Spells. The blue smoke actually made the black creature’s reaching tentacles retract.

The disciples of Ghoul Ravine watched this scene in terror. Could the Mage of Qiandao Temple be useful?

However, in the next moment, the black creature spat out a blast of black smoke, which enveloped the mage completely.

"Ah—"

"Ah—" In the next instant, screams of despair filled everyone’s ears. The disciples of Ghoul Ravine who had not even had time to feel relief watched in horror. When the black smoke returned to the creature’s body, only a Mage of Qiandao Temple, whose flesh had been mostly corroded, remained, struggling frantically on the ground before gradually becoming silent.

Another mage from Qiandao Temple realized that these disciples of Ghoul Ravine were unmistakably using them as shields. Anger and fear made him tremble uncontrollably, his teeth chattering.

"No, no..." In the next moment, as the disciples of Ghoul Ravine were about to push another person out, that person desperately resisted.

"If we are to die, we’ll die together. Don’t think of using me..." The mage from Qiandao Temple shouted loudly, grabbing a disciple from Ghoul Ravine, and the two began to wrestle, rolling out together.

The leading disciple of Qiandao Temple’s eyelid twitched, but before he could speak, no one dared go out to pull them back.

In the next moment, screams resounded, cold sweat dripped drop by drop from everyone’s backs, legs trembling uncontrollably, while the black creature suddenly extended its tentacles, seizing a disciple from Ghoul Ravine midair, who flailed his limbs desperately.

In the next moment, under the watchful eyes of all, the disciple from Ghoul Ravine suddenly began to "suffer" like those before him, his skin writhing as if countless bugs were crawling beneath it. It started with his hands and feet, which slowly turned into a black liquid, followed by his arms, legs, and eventually his entire body and head. Finally, on the tentacles of the black creature, only squirming black "mud loaches" remained, which were then swallowed by the creature.

Everyone felt a chill down their spine, and could even imagine that if they fell into the hands of this creature, they would meet the same fate.

"Run, save yourselves—" The leading disciple of Ghoul Ravine shouted, and everyone snapped out of their terror, realizing that fleeing was their only option.
