Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: 421 (2/2)

In his view, having that centipede to protect his safety was enough.

The centipede’s level was several grades higher than his, and its power was even stronger than its master’s. With it as a protector, he truly had no need to worry about enemies daring to cause trouble.

This seclusion lasted for a full seven years.

It wasn’t until one day, when a hybrid monster with a human head and a centipede’s body emerged from the cave dwelling, that everyone realized the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch had been devoured by his own centipede.

Because of the existing master-servant contract, the centipede didn’t dare kill the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch; otherwise, it would have died as well.

After the centipede successfully devoured the master, it took direct control of the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch and merged with him, becoming a monster.

After it left the cave dwelling, it went on a killing spree against everyone in the Immortal Sect.

Not for anything else, just to eat those Immortal Masters to enhance its own strength.

It wanted to become stronger.

In that battle, the entire Immortal Sect suffered a great disaster, with over forty disciples nearly wiped out.

In the end, three elders were forced to trigger the Sect Annihilation Formation, perishing together with the centipede, which finally killed it.

That incident directly led to the expulsion of a very powerful Immortal Sect, the loss was immeasurable.

Afterwards, an investigation revealed that the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch had left a will in the cave dwelling, roughly explaining the reasons for the disaster. He had become possessed by evil during his seclusion and cultivation due to his eagerness for quick success after taking an elixir.

Although he managed to stabilize the situation eventually, he was weak, and his cultivation level not only failed to advance but actually regressed.

Under these circumstances, the centipede he had spent a lifetime carefully nurturing brazenly turned on him.

Because he had used almost all of his important resources to train that centipede, and coupled with its outstanding talent, it was unrivaled. Even all the other pets of the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch combined couldn’t beat this centipede.

The tragedy of the Hundred-Eyes Immortal Monarch shows that the loyalty of a pet is extremely important.

Otherwise, when a pet’s level greatly exceeds its master’s, it is very likely to turn on the master.

The Black Spider Gu could help Qin Niu ward off all poisons, its use was quite significant.

But its loyalty to Qin Niu had not been able to rise, which was like planting a bomb. It could explode at any moment.

Qin Niu was well aware of this, so he wasn’t overly eager with the nurturing of the Black Spider Gu.

This time, he risked his life to save the Black Spider Gu, and unexpectedly, the loyalty of the Black Spider Gu towards him increased substantially, which was a cause for celebration.

Only now, whether he could successfully escape the pursuit of the Mirage Insect was not easy to say.

The dark mist chased him like a maggot attached to bone, biting hard on his heels.

If Qin Niu hadn’t been poisoned, he would have escaped in an instant.

But now he was struggling to move.

Just as the dark mist was about to reach his body, the Green Ox outside the valley charged indiscriminately into the valley.

Its Dragon’s Roar Skill couldn’t be used continuously; it could only run while using its strongest offensive method, shooting a beam of golden light from its horns to attack the enemy.

But the valley was filled with poisonous miasma, and the golden light didn’t work well.

It couldn’t even illuminate the dark mist, let alone deal with the giant insect within it.

At this moment, Qin Niu very clearly felt the presence of the Grim Reaper.

He hadn’t experienced this feeling in a long time, and he hadn’t expected to face it once again in the Valley of Wronged Spirits. The sensation of a hair-raising, impending catastrophe made it clear to him that if he were to be engulfed by the dark mist, it’s highly likely he would be killed instantly.

Just at this critical juncture, a green shadow darted out like a bolt of lightning and plunged into the dark mist.

It was Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee taking action.

Sensing that its master faced mortal danger, it decisively risked its life to protect him.
