118: It turns out he was a lackey of a demon beast (Bonus Chapter 1)

"Are you also from the Demon God Cult?"

Lin Chuan's Clone hugged the tree trunk, asking in confusion.

Now, he truly didn't plan on running away.

If he could be forced by the old man to sink to the bottom of the water, or be eaten by a large fish, leaving no bones behind, he could successfully escape.

"It seems you've offended quite a few people, kid!"

The old man said sinisterly.

However, he didn't immediately make a move, but instead replied, "The Demon God Cult is nothing but a bunch of rats hiding their heads and tails. They don't have the guts to openly defy the entire Xuanwu City."

"Then what force do you represent? To cause such a huge commotion."

Lin Chuan even felt that Diamond Rank was only the limit of the Secret Realm, not the limit of these forces. If Monarch Rank could enter, there might truly be Monarch Rank individuals inside.

Lin Chuan felt like he was truly screwed. He hadn't done anything, yet he inexplicably attracted so many enemies.

And each one was more powerful than the last. How was he supposed to reason with that?

"Ten Thousand Demon Palace, I suppose you haven't heard of it. But it doesn't matter, soon, the prestige of my Ten Thousand Demon Palace will resound throughout the entire continent."

The old man said proudly.

"Do you specialize in hunting Human Race Geniuses for the Yao Race?"

Recalling what Qin Yan had mentioned earlier, Lin Chuan understood.

"So, you're the Yao Beast's lackeys. You refuse to be proper humans and insist on being dogs, you're even worse than dog Yao Beasts... Hahaha."

Lin Chuan cursed loudly, laughing up at the sky.

At least the Demon God Cult offered benefits for joining, but this Ten Thousand Demon Palace immediately started yelling about killing. It was truly impolite.

"Kid, you're looking for death!"

The old man no longer hesitated. The Moth shot two gusts of wind towards Lin Chuan on the water surface.

"I'd rather drown than die by your old dog's hand! Haha..."

With that, Lin Chuan let go of the tree trunk and plunged straight into the water, desperately sinking to the bottom.

At this point, the Clone's mission was complete.

The Clone didn't need to breathe; he just needed to quietly wait for the time to end and for himself to disappear.

"Damn it!!!"

The old man raged helplessly on the water surface, letting the Poisonous Bee and Moth unleash their skills indiscriminately on the water. He wouldn't stop until the section of the tree trunk, which he mistook for Lin Chuan, was blasted to smithereens.

Lin Chuan, through the Gray Snake's perspective, saw the scene on the water surface and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Who could withstand this? A hundred of him would turn into Momo.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan noticed his Clone had disappeared.

"Hmm? Wasn't there still over ten minutes left?"

His attention had been on the old man just now, so he hadn't noticed the movement underwater.

Perhaps it was the 'big guy' White Moon mentioned... Lin Chuan didn't care.

The old man vented his anger for a long time, and only when he realized Lin Chuan never resurfaced and there were no spatial teleportation fluctuations did he completely relax, believing that Lin Chuan was finally dead.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, there was movement on the water surface.

"Woo..."

In an instant, gigantic waves rotated and surged in this water area, forming a massive whirlpool.

Then, a huge black figure leaped directly out of the water.

"Ho... ly crap!"

Both the old man and Lin Chuan exclaimed at the same time.

The 'big guy' White Moon mentioned had appeared. It was indeed a fish, and it was indeed big, but it was ridiculously big.

Its tail hadn't even emerged from the water, yet its entire body was like a mountain peak, piercing straight into the clouds. Conservatively estimated, it was over a thousand meters tall, like the legendary Kun.

Then, the fish's body pressed down towards the old man, as if the sky was falling.

"Woo..."

The big fish was crying out, its emotions indistinguishable.

The old man's two Beast Tamers were no different from flies or mosquitoes in front of the big fish.

"Run!"

The old man instantly made a decision, controlling the Moth to quickly escape.

It was too terrifying. How could there be such a terrifying creature in this Secret Realm space? Could it be Monarch Rank?

No, it couldn't be Monarch Rank, but it was absolutely possible that it was a Monarch Rank creature in the process of advancing... Thinking about these things now was meaningless; escaping was the priority.

Although the old man didn't intend to leave alive, he also didn't want to be buried in a fish's mouth like Lin Chuan.

The big fish noticed the creature in the air, a playful look flashing in its eyes.

Then, a monstrous wave rushed directly towards the old man.

"Damn it, I didn't provoke you!"

Both the Poisonous Bee and the Moth were knocked into the water by the giant wave.

"Stop it."

The Poisonous Bee summoned an overwhelming swarm of bees, launching a suicidal attack towards the big fish's eyes.

The old man quickly mounted the Moth and continued to fly towards the shore.

"Woo..."

Annoyed by a swarm of insects, the big fish became a little angry.

A silent ripple emanated from the big fish's abdomen. All the Poisonous Bees instantly died, falling into the water like rain.

Including that Monarch Rank one, its fate was unknown.

The ripple didn't stop, sweeping across tens of kilometers.

The old man in front was struck by lightning, falling into the water along with the Moth.

The old man sought his own death, so he died.

Originally, the big fish probably had no killing intent, merely toying with insects.

But if the insects wanted to bite, then they could only be swatted to death.

Through the Gray Snake's feedback, the old man's head was shaken into pulp; he couldn't be any deader.

At this point, Lin Chuan also lost the Gray Snake's vision.

Unless it could possess other Yao Beasts.

However, Lin Chuan told it not to act rashly.

Other Yao Beasts, that big fish? Let's not even think about it.

"White Moon, is that the big guy you mentioned?"

Lin Chuan swallowed, asking.

"Hiccup, yes it is. You saw it, didn't you? Isn't it huge?"

White Moon was clearly stuffed. She and Little Spirit leaned against each other, lying on the ground motionless.

These two seemed to have hit it off and were getting along very happily.

Both were foodies!

Lin Chuan was speechless when he heard White Moon's words.

Was it just huge? It was super, incredibly, unbelievably huge!

On the first day, he had considered whether to cross the water to the other side to take a look. Fortunately, he played it safe; otherwise, he might have died long ago.

Lin Chuan hadn't expected that the Diamond Rank expert who had been chasing him for half a day would die so silently. However, before his death, he probably thought Lin Chuan was already dead, which was a kind of comfort.

If Lin Chuan appeared before his corpse now, he wondered if it would anger him back to life?

The only thing that worried Lin Chuan was that the Gray Snake had not yet been recovered.

The moment the old man died, the maturity of the soul fruit surged by 10%, reaching 55%.

It turned out that high-quality Soul energy referred to the Soul of a Beast Tamer! And it had to be high-level.

Calculating this way, the Gray Snake only needed to absorb the Souls of five more Diamond Rank Beast Tamers to advance!

"White Moon, can you teleport that person's corpse back?"

After thinking about it, Lin Chuan only had this one method.

Asking him to find the big fish himself? He'd rather be killed by the old man; it would be quicker.

"I wouldn't dare snatch the big guy's prey."

White Moon shook her head, refusing.

Lin Chuan was immediately disappointed. Could it be that he had to wait until he was strong enough to come back and search?

By then, it would be too late.

Moreover, the Gray Snake was one of his strongest aids, and Lin Chuan couldn't just give up on it.

Then, White Moon changed the subject, saying:

"However, I can help you exchange it back, it just requires..."

"Fruit, right!"

Lin Chuan was helpless. Ever since he met this guy, he had been completely controlled by her appetite.

However, he had to admit that without White Moon, he didn't know how many times he would have died.

Misfortune or fortune, it was really hard to say.

Fate was truly too unpredictable.
