Chapter 200: I’m So Scared
“What should we do then?” Bai Li Pangpang asked with a dejected face.
After a moment of silence, Lin Qiye spoke: “I don’t think rashly breaking through the soil upward is a good idea. We’re too deep, and the geological structure is very complex. Without suitable earth-breaking forbidden zones, we might end up buried halfway.
It’s been about an hour since we sent out the distress signal. The Earth Dragon’s turning over caused such a commotion that other instructors must have made the connection and taken measures. Waiting for rescue is our best option.”
“I agree with Lin Qiye’s view. Breaking through the soil all the way back to the surface isn’t realistic. Let’s wait for rescue,” Instructor Hong nodded in agreement.
With both of them agreeing, Shen Qingzhu and Bai Li Pangpang naturally had no objections and sat down to rest.
…
Much later, in the magma cavern.
The dark light in [Whisper]’s eyes gradually faded, traces of fatigue appearing between his brows.
The churning magma in the cavern settled down. The anger in the Flame Vein Earth Dragon’s eyes had disappeared, replaced by devotion and docility.
[Whisper] smiled as he walked forward, and the Flame Vein Earth Dragon immediately bowed respectfully, not daring to act rashly.
Under the soul contract’s effect, the Flame Vein Earth Dragon had, like other followers or “Disasters,” completely become [Whisper]’s follower on a mental level, unable to refuse any of his commands.
This was what made [Whisper] so terrifying.
[Whisper] looked at the Flame Vein Earth Dragon before him with satisfaction, then seemed to think of something and looked toward the distance in surprise.
“They chose not to continue forward but wait for rescue instead? Rather clever… However, before absolute power, this is useless.”
[Whisper] turned his head and elegantly gave orders to the Flame Vein Earth Dragon, “Please bring our guests here.”
The Flame Vein Earth Dragon let out a low growl, and the surrounding [Absolute Earth Domain] immediately began to move. The intricate cave passages seemed to come alive, automatically changing directions.
At the same time, Lin Qiye and the others, who were resting in place, felt everything spin around them. Under the spatial fluctuations, they instantly appeared in a large cavern filled with magma!
They quickly stood up, their expressions grave.
Magma, Flame Vein Earth Dragon, a badly wounded Hai-realm expert, and a mysterious man…
This was the core of the underground cave the bat had spoken of.
Lin Qiye immediately understood their situation. Instructor Hong’s gaze fell on the enchanting man in mid-air, his pupils suddenly contracting.
“The Ancient God Church’s [Whisper]?!” Instructor Hong recognized his identity at a glance.
“It seems my reputation has spread quite widely among you Night Watchmen…” [Whisper] said with a smile. “Besides the dual-god agent, there’s also an ultra-high risk… and the young master of the Bai Li family?
Tsk tsk tsk, I’ve struck gold here. If I can turn you, young master, into my follower, wouldn’t the entire Bai Li family become mine?”
[Whisper] stared intently at Bai Li Pangpang, his eyes extremely bright, as if he’d discovered some treasure.
Bai Li Pangpang’s face turned pale, but he still straightened his back and spoke calmly, “Rest assured, before you can control me, I will definitely commit suicide… Don’t think you can hurt anyone in our Bai Li family through me!”
“Oh?” [Whisper] raised an eyebrow. “They say you, the young master of the Bai Li family, are just a frivolous playboy. I didn’t expect you to have such backbone.”
Instructor Hong stepped forward and sneered, “The Ancient God Church’s [Whisper]… just a stray dog being hunted by the [Medium] special squad, yet now you dare to show off in front of juniors.”
[Whisper]’s brows furrowed slightly. He pointed a finger, and a thick black chain extended from the void behind him, binding Instructor Hong tightly.
“Instructor, you don’t need to provoke me. I know what you’re thinking,” [Whisper] said with a light laugh. “Wanting to sacrifice yourself to buy time for these juniors? You think too much.
Why don’t I kill all of your Night Watchmen’s proud seeds right in front of you?
First kill the dual-god agent, then turn the ultra-high risk one and the Bai Li family’s young master into my followers, then control them to kill you with their own hands… How do you like this script?”
Instructor Hong’s eyes widened, as if wanting to roar something, but unable to make any sound, as if his voice had been forcibly cut off.
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes turned red, about to act, when Lin Qiye suddenly spoke beside him.
“Why can you turn them into followers, but must kill me?” Lin Qiye looked into [Whisper]’s eyes and said calmly. “I’m a dual-god agent, my value shouldn’t be lower than theirs, right?”
[Whisper] squinted at Lin Qiye, then after a moment smiled and patiently answered, “It’s precisely because you’re a dual-god agent that I must kill you. Your soul has already contracted with deities – if I were to make a contract with you too, I’d face divine retribution.
Therefore, deity agents cannot become [Followers], they can only voluntarily join the Ancient God Church.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “If… I say now that I’m willing to join the Ancient God Church, would you believe me?”
[Whisper] examined Lin Qiye carefully for a while, then sneered, “What do you think?”
“I think you would,” Lin Qiye said seriously. “I never lie.”
[Whisper] smiled and shook his head, “No need to waste effort trying to buy time. You have no chance of turning this around. The Flame Vein Earth Dragon, Ma Yitian, plus myself – there are three Hai-realm experts here. Even if all the training camp instructors combined came, they wouldn’t be our match.
Unless a miracle happens… you don’t have even a sliver of hope for survival.”
[Whisper]’s enchanting phoenix eyes stared into Lin Qiye’s eyes as he said softly, “I’m very curious how you became a dual-god agent. Was it coincidence? Or… something else?”
Lin Qiye’s eyes remained completely calm, saying nothing.
“No need to speak, I’ll personally enter the depths of your soul and see your secrets,” [Whisper]’s face showed an eerie smile.
Lin Qiye started, as if thinking of something. “You want to enter the depths of my soul?”
“That’s right. Before me, souls are merely playthings. Once I completely control your soul, I’ll know all your secrets, then tear it to pieces with my own hands.”
A faint light flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes. He blinked and obediently said “Oh.”
[Whisper] found it strange, “What? You’re not afraid?”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then tentatively said:
“Oh my… I’m so scared?”
