Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 623 - 602: Second Update
The black monster seemed not to understand Yin He’s actions. Trapped in darkness for so many years, it could still sense that the young man was alive.
Moreover, the young man’s strength had grown stronger and through those special qualities, he had even developed even more powerful Spells.
The black monster was excited, thinking the young man had released him and led him here, and furthermore, it discovered that the young man had not only freed him but had also prepared many of its meals.
This made the monster, starved for many years, very excited. After feasting to its satisfaction, now seeing the young man again, it completely failed to sense the young man’s coldness.
As the black monster moved forward, the young man had already acted without hesitation, for the other’s timing was inappropriate. The Disciples of Ghoul Ravine who saw this creature were all frightened, and he clearly understood how a normal person would react, let alone Nian Ru.
And now, he naturally couldn’t let Zheng Nianru see this creature.
"Young Master—" Elder Can, panting, hurried over. He was a step too late outside the hot spring cave, and upon hearing the news, he lagged behind again. Now arriving, he coincidentally saw Elder Su unconscious and immediately helped him up. The two were now by Yin He’s side.
They were not without fear, but now they could not afford to be scared, as the very survival of Ghoul Ravine almost hung in the balance here.
What is this thing?
Elder Can faintly felt that this thing was related to the Spells they practiced and uneasy, he glanced at his own Young Master. This thing...
But the Young Master plainly ignored him. Elder Can, having heard about the situation from the escaping disciples of Ghoul Ravine, inadvertently took a step back, thinking it wiser to keep some distance.
At this moment, Yin He was also uncertain, this creature was terrifying to others, even the people of Qiandao Temple turned pale at the mention of it.
But there, in Sword Tree Hell, when he was only six years old and on the brink of death, he didn’t know whether he had discovered this thing or if the thing had discovered him. From then on, they depended on each other for survival, managing to stay alive in the carnivorous Sword Tree Hell.
The young man did not dislike this creature, and although it was consuming his energy, it had no intention of killing him. It always left him just enough breath to recover slowly, and its feeding was very regular, capable of enduring for a long time.
The black monster moved another step, its two tentacles positioned on the ground, learning how to stand like the young man slowly and making a whining sound.
"Young Master, we can’t wait. This thing has already killed many of our disciples. Once it gains momentum, it will be even harder to deal with," Elder Can immediately said, quickly making such a decision, showing Elder Can’s cleverness and keen perception in swiftly coming to a judgment.
The young man felt agitated and uneasy inside. If this creature stayed by his side, he would naturally be more capable of controlling it now than before. Compared to Ghoul Ravine controlling those Ghost Shadows, it was child’s play for him, and his strength would greatly increase. However, if this creature remained by his side, then Ghoul Ravine would become redundant. For those disciples of Ghoul Ravine who lived by the Spells, it would be a catastrophic disaster, and their future would be like living in hell.
The young man didn’t want to change the current situation; he still needed the people from Ghoul Ravine. Besides, Master Huo Yi had already altered some of his constitution, and he knew better than anyone that, even if the creature followed him, the situation was not necessarily optimistic.
"Young Master..." Elder Can was somewhat anxious. Now, while the creature was slow-moving, there was no time to delay; it was better to resolve it quickly to avoid prolonged complications.
Yin He also felt there was no need to take risks. Nian Ru definitely wouldn’t like this thing, not to mention that this thing was related to him.
The young man immediately took action, with a wave of his hand, a stream of black smoke went straight towards the creature. The creature didn’t resist at all, and even stopped moving, which stunned Elder Can and Elder Su, leaving them puzzled as they looked toward their Young Master.
Although they had vaguely guessed that this thing was no good, it might have some connection with the Young Master. But now, the Young Master’s actions were not about resolving the creature; the Young Master wanted to...
The black creature allowed the black smoke to enter its body, thinking that the young man in front of it wanted to merge with it again. Then, it wouldn’t have to drag its cumbersome body around like before.
But in the next moment, the black creature realized something was amiss, and by the time it noticed, it was too late. The black smoke wreaked havoc inside its body, causing the creature’s massive form to sway in midair, almost collapsing several times.
Seeing this, Elder Can and Elder Su were finally at ease and quickly stood behind their Young Master. Sure enough, the black creature staggered back two steps, its now materialized feet making deep imprints in the ground. After retreating a few steps, it finally stabilized, and the next moment, it jerked upright, its crimson eyes glaring at the young man in front as if it couldn’t believe he would attack it.
Yin He watched the creature coldly, his expression icy. No one said he had to bring this creature, except for Master Huo Yi, and no one else knew this creature was related to him.
"Wuu wuu wuu"—the creature’s sound was like a strong wind howling. The next moment, its enormous body heaved, and beneath those crimson eyes, it opened a gaping mouth, spewing a stream of black liquid that turned into squirming black "mud loaches" upon hitting the ground.
Elder Can became panicked upon seeing this. He had a bad premonition in an instant, and he even found it horrifying that the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine were taught these spells by the Young Master. However, the fact proved he wasn’t overthinking. Elder Su had already grabbed his arm, his face pale.
Elder Can immediately turned around. These things must have appeared after the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine’s "outbreak." They had seen it, and it was difficult not to think too much about the timing of this creature’s appearance.
Elder Can still resolutely turned back, retaining a trace of calm, choosing to trust their Young Master.
Elder Can took a step forward.
"Young Master, we need to act quickly. With such a commotion, they’ll know about it soon on the other side. We need to move fast," Elder Can said this, but he could see from the Young Master’s expression that the creature was not easy to deal with.
Elder Can said this, only to gauge just how important Zheng Nianru was in the Young Master’s heart compared to this "intimately" related creature.
Elder Su, hearing this, became anxious. This thing was clearly not easy to deal with. What if the Young Master got hurt? Elder Su was about to step forward; this time, his thoughts were different, not suggesting retreating with the people from Ghoul Ravine first. The disciples had said that this thing could first be countered by the mages from Qiandao Temple.
