Chapter 484: Monkey Wine Sends a Message (Second Update)
Chapter 484: Monkey Wine Sends a Message (Second Update)
What, exactly, was this ancestor that the Meng Clan revered? Hu Ma was very sure of his intense hatred towards it, but even with this hatred, what could he possibly do?
In front of Hu Ma, a bizarre, flickering image appeared. For a moment, the Meng Family Son seemed to transform into a tall, plump figure. The Meng Family Son was merely one of the faces on that figure, shouting at him with all his might.
At other times, it seemed like just an illusion. The Meng Family Son was still there, his expression momentarily becoming vacant and indifferent, then shifting to one of anger and hatred.
But as Hu Ma glared at him with hatred, the blurry and eerie shadow, the shadow clad in the Hundred Blessings Robe, seemed to be the first time Hu Ma had seen it. Yet, the hatred in his heart surged like a tide.
Especially, Hu Ma didn’t know why, but looking at the few faces on the Hundred Blessings Robe, the ones that were the clearest in his eyes, he felt a deep sorrow rising from the depths of his heart.
He had never seen these faces before, yet they seemed familiar in a profound way.
They...
“Hiss...”
Without giving him much time to think, the Meng Family Second Son, or rather, the entity he had invited into his body, looked at him with indifferent eyes.
“Huff!”
The moment his gaze fell upon Hu Ma, the flames in the distant fire pit suddenly extinguished. He immediately saw Hu Ma’s face, and in those indifferent eyes, a faint smile appeared, even a hint of greed.
And Hu Ma was almost instantly shattered by that one look.
His divine soul felt as if it was being instantly sucked and pulled. This kind of spiritual collapse was extremely fierce and intense. Divine Abilities and Manifestations, the Three Souls and Seven Energies, all crumbled in a single blow. The collapse was rapidly rising but suddenly stopped.
It was Hu Ma’s Vital Spirit Temple. The collapse of his divine soul, under the gaze of the other, almost seemed unstoppable, but it halted just before it reached the Vital Spirit Temple, like a mountain that had suddenly collapsed but found a stabilizing point.
Borrowing this stabilizing point, Hu Ma finally managed to steady himself and faced the Meng Family Second Son.
Or rather, at this moment, he was not facing the Second Son but the unknown and mysterious presence within his body, staring steadily at it.
...
...
“Save my life, save my life...”
On the mountain, not far from where the Shadow Soldiers appeared, Er Guotou was so frightened that his body trembled violently.
“I was just thinking that your skills have improved so quickly...”
“But now, it seems you’re even quicker at getting into trouble!”
“...”
He felt the rolling Dark Wind approaching, his face turning deathly pale. He let out a low cry, raised his sleeve to cover his face, and was about to roll into the thick mist.
Nearby, the elegant white cat, which had been leisurely licking its paws, was also startled when the Meng Clan invited something down. Its fur stood on end, and it quickly retreated into the forest, acting furtively.
Run.
Both of them made this decision without hesitation. Facing such a dangerous situation, there was no time for hesitation. On one side were the Shadow Soldiers, and on the other, an unknown and eerie entity that had taken over the Meng Family Son’s body. What else could they do but run?
But just as they were about to leave, a faint golden light appeared beside each of them.
A figure in a white robe, holding a short flute, appeared beside both of them at the same time, sighing softly, “You’ve come too late...”
“Who are you?”
Er Guotou and the white cat both became highly alert, their eyes sharp. Although they seemed to be doing nothing, the air was instantly filled with a dangerous aura.
“Codename Monkey Wine, you can also call me Wu Song.”
The man in the white robe, holding a lantern, spoke calmly. He was meeting both of them in different places, but his voice was equally composed: “I was the one who notified you to come here.”
“Huh?”
Er Guotou, dressed in a black robe, was instinctively startled and glanced to the side. His gaze towards the white-robed man changed: ‘This guy, he’s actually calling out his codename in reality?’
‘Why don’t you just reveal your identity to the Ten Surnames?’
‘...’
Although he thought and cursed inwardly, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just advise you, this place is dangerous, and it’s not wise to stay. Goodbye!”
On the other side, the white cat didn’t even listen to the white-robed man. Its azure eyes glinted with a mysterious light, and without a word, it was about to retreat deeper into the forest.
“Running won’t help.”
But at that moment, the man in the white robe suddenly raised his voice, stopping both of them. He said calmly, “I know it’s you. This mountain is covered with my poisonous bugs and spies. There’s no need to hide.
"I came to seek your help because it's necessary for us to join forces. That person who just arrived, with his limited abilities, has already achieved this much. It's quite impressive."
"To deal with the entity that just descended upon this place, relying on the ordinary people of this world, whether they're real or fake, is futile. With our Reincarnators' Vital Spirit Temple, we can protect our minds and use our mystical arts. Perhaps we still have a chance."
"..."
Upon hearing these words, Er Guotou and the white cat's expressions became even more complex. Not only did Er Guotou's face turn extremely grim, but even the white cat seemed to show a mixture of confusion and hesitation.
However, his mind was filled with even greater worry: 'Is this guy's brain a bit off?
'Usually, Reincarnators never discuss anything related to their secrets in the real world. Now, not only are there people from the Ten Surnames, but also the overwhelming Shadow Soldiers, and there's even a mysterious entity that has just descended upon this area...'
'Yet you keep bringing these things up?'
'...'
Seeing that they were reluctant to give a definite answer after a long time, and their eagerness to leave was evident, the man holding the lantern sighed softly and said, "Now I understand why he specifically asked me to deliver three messages to you after meeting with you."
Er Guotou, who was already anxious to the point of wanting to leave immediately, was startled and blurted out, "What messages?"
Even the white cat focused its attention on him.
The man with the lantern slowly said, "The first message is that he discovered a secret among the Reincarnators."
The man and the cat were slightly taken aback, staring at him intently but not responding.
Then, the man with the lantern continued, "The second message is that if we don't help him, he will surely die here."
"The third message is that if he dies here, none of us three will be able to escape."
"..."
"..."
"What the hell?"
Upon hearing these three messages, Er Guotou's voice trembled, "Has this guy become so bad that he's now directly threatening us?"
For a moment, he was filled with hesitation and indecision.
If he were to be honest, he would much rather leave. Usually, at the mere mention of the Ten Surnames, he would hide immediately. How much more in a situation as dangerous as this? But the problem was that the situation was truly troublesome!
Lao Bai Gan and the people from Mingzhou were no ordinary individuals. Everyone was well aware of their backgrounds. If something happened to him, who knows if they would sell them out? The other party might have some tricks up their sleeve to uncover their identities and backgrounds.
Moreover, Lao Bai Gan was no longer the wild child who had emerged from the mountains.
Since he had gained the favor of that person from Mingzhou, his status had become so important that he could even be ranked first among the Mingzhou Four Oddities...
With time pressing and his mind in turmoil, Er Guotou clenched his teeth. Suddenly, he said, "To deal with..."
"You keep talking about dealing with them, but can you handle the Shadow Soldiers? And that... that thing summoned by the Meng Clan offspring, can we possibly deal with it?"
"..."
"There's no need to deal with the Shadow Soldiers."
Monkey Wine spoke calmly, "With our abilities, it's not difficult to survive in the hands of the Shadow Soldiers. If we die, it's just the town's people dying, and it's their own business, what does it have to do with us?"
"As for the Meng Clan..."
He paused and said, "Although I rarely go out, I have seen similar techniques. I think it's called Soul Corrupting."
"It's just inviting ghosts to possess and burning one's life force for power. It's not some extraordinary skill..."
"..."
"What the hell?"
Even Er Guotou was stunned by Monkey Wine's words, "Brother, I've met many arrogant people, but you're the first to speak of the Meng Clan's technique as if it's not remarkable."
Monkey Wine was also a bit puzzled, "Isn't it the Soul Corrupting technique?"
"Of course it's Soul Corrupting, but..."
Before Er Guotou could finish his sentence, Monkey Wine slowly nodded, "It's indeed Soul Corrupting. So, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. It's just a matter of three key points..."
"..."
"Cut off their source, diminish their power, and destroy their life force."
"..."
His expression was calm, with a sense of seriousness and acceptance, "Anyway, it's not us who are directly facing that pressure."
"We..."
Er Guotou was in a dilemma, wanting to say that they should consider what kind of being the Meng Clan had summoned. But he couldn't bring himself to voice his thoughts. However, with time pressing and an invisible pressure weighing on him, he didn't have the leisure to analyze the situation carefully. In the end, he found himself saying, "Is it enough to just achieve these three points?"
Monkey Wine looked at him steadily, then turned his gaze to the white cat, "You two, can't even do this?"
