Chapter 1039: Chapter 584 Refinement of the Stars_2 Chapter 1039: Chapter 584 Refinement of the Stars_2 But after a moment, he appeared in front of the colossal creature.
The Sea Monster wasn't stupid at all. The moment he showed up, the Sea Monster immediately became aware of him.
“Hmm?”
The Sea Monster grunted through its nostrils and opened its beast eyes.
To its surprise, the person that had appeared was someone familiar, and it was the very human who had fought it mightily last time, and whom it had not managed to defeat.
With an enemy before it, old grudges and new hatreds piled up together.
The Sea Monster was extremely angry, its massive body stretching out as it fiercely roared towards Logan.
Far from being scared, Logan's mouth curled into an insidious smile.
“Finally found you, great Sea Monster. You're quite hard to track down…”
He teased but didn't take the Sea Monster seriously at all.
Following that, Little Flower appeared, and once again with the combinative efforts of human and Spirit Pet, they made the Sea Monster beg for mercy.
At first, the Sea Monster made tough grunts, but later it could only emit whimpers begging for mercy, accompanied by a human voice.
“No, please, don't hit me anymore, I beg you, spare me…”
This voice sounded hollow, like sandpaper that had worn out–it wasn't pleasant to the ear but oddly carried a hint of immaturity.
Logan instantly concluded that it was the Sea Monster that had produced this voice.
“Is it you who is begging for mercy now? You finally know to beg from us?”
Even during the last encounter when the creature fled in panic, Logan hadn't heard such whimpering–it seemed the Sea Monster had truly been frightened.
The Sea Monster blinked its enormous eyes, the pupils wild and bestial, but Logan saw a trace of fear in them.
It seemed the creature wasn't such an ignoramus after all; it knew fear.
“Wuu wuu, human Cultivator, please spare me, if you keep hitting me like this I will surely die, I don't want to die, I genuinely don't want to die…”
Indeed, the Sea Monster was a bully when dealing with the weak but cowardly in the face of stronger beings.
Against weaker creatures, it would be merciless, smashing them with a flick of its tail.
Yet when facing someone stronger, it knew when to cower.
“Hmph, the beating you're receiving is what you deserve. Haven't you thought about the misdeeds you've committed? Bullying the females of the human race, and you thought you'd just slip away scot-free?”
Logan swung his fist, utterly unregretful about beating the monster.
He even felt the beating wasn't harsh enough.
Although he had already beaten the creature to a battered state, it seemed it could take even more.
Seeing this, the massive body of the Sea Monster actually began to tremble.
“Please, I beg you, no more beating, I truly realize my mistake, besides, besides, I'm not the mastermind. Why are you only after me…”
The words were thick with grievance, and its large eyes looked as though they were on the verge of tears.
From them, Logan discerned something more, his eyes narrowing with an inscrutable look.
“You're not the mastermind, what do you mean by that?”
The Sea Monster knew it gave itself away, but what of it? Facing death at their hands, could it just sit back and do nothing?
So, sobbing, the Sea Monster quickly expressed its entire intent.
“I… I'm just under the shackles of others, doing someone else's bidding. In the end, I am but a minion. There's a head for every grievance and an owner of debt; if you truly seek the mastermind, you ought to find someone else, not bother with a lowly subordinate like me.”
Hearing what the Sea Monster had to say, Logan then learned there was someone behind the Sea Monster.
There was another figure pulling its strings.
The strength of the Sea Monster was already significant; whoever could have it run errands would not be lacking in power either.
Logan pursed his lips, a strange light flashing quickly through his eyes.
“Then, where is your master? Take me there now?”
The Sea Monster's massive frame shuddered; hesitance was apparent at that moment.
Logan saw through it and let out a cold snort as a reminder.
“Hmph, don't think about deceiving me, or if you're too scared to reveal any information, I won't believe your lies. If I can't find the one behind you, I'll just have to settle the score with you instead.”
It was an unambiguous threat.
Hearing this, the Sea Monster dared not disobey and eventually, albeit reluctantly, conceded.
“Yes.”
Following the Sea Monster's guidance, they arrived at a Cabin in the Woods.
“Who would've thought there could be such a small island on the sea, and planted with so many bamboo trees at that. Is this person intending to live a life of seclusion?”
Looking at this highly concealed place, he stroked his chin and muttered a few words.
The Sea Monster didn't venture closer, and it seemed to be deeply wary of the place, merely leading them nearby and not daring to take another step forward.
“I… I dare not enter. As soon as I step into his domain, he will immediately become alert. Master, I can only bring you this far, the rest is up to you.”
The Sea Monster was helpless; it didn't want to be cowardly, but it truly dared not get close to the territory of the person behind it.
Logan observed the Sea Monster carefully and confirmed it wasn't lying.
He then waved his hand, magnanimously allowing it to leave.
“Fine, then you may go. You're lucky you didn't fool me this time. I'll spare your life just this once, but don't show your face before me ever again.”
The Sea Monster was incredibly grateful, thanking him profusely as it hurried away.
Afterwards, Logan observed the unimpressive cabin before stepping inside.
At the same time, his two Spirit Pets in his space were also conversing.
“Master, this place gives me a bad feeling. You should be careful, it looks ordinary at first glance, but it must have some secrets hidden within.”
