Chapter 339 The Huge Shadow Underground!
“To steal the body right under my nose? Interesting.”
Method’s eyes were stern as he immediately released his divine consciousness, spreading it outward at the fastest speed in all directions!
He wanted to use his divine consciousness to catch up with that fleeting aura that had just flashed by!
Although the aura had appeared for only a moment, Method was certain it had emerged from underground!
Therefore, Method’s divine consciousness mainly expanded underground!
His divine consciousness penetrated through layer after layer of soil, passing by many tiny organisms growing underground.
In just two short seconds, Method’s divine consciousness had reached eight hundred meters below ground, covering an area of nearly one kilometer!
But even so, Method still couldn’t track down that aura from before!
Method’s eyes remained stern as he extended his right hand with two fingers pointing at his forehead.
Golden light emanated from his fingertips, strengthening Method’s divine consciousness power once again, sweeping outward like a tidal wave!
In an instant, the area covered by Method’s divine consciousness expanded once more!
The divine consciousness at the forefront finally captured that rapidly departing aura!
Then, Method’s eyes flashed with golden light!
He saw a huge black shadow! Along with an extremely violent and murderous aura!
The outline of this black shadow resembled some giant creature curled up underground!
But Method couldn’t see its appearance clearly, only a pair of hollow, enormous eyes glowing with red light!
After staring at each other for about two seconds, the black shadow suddenly disappeared.
That aura once again escaped from the range covered by Method’s divine consciousness.
Method withdrew his divine consciousness, his expression puzzled.
What was that thing he had seen?
Method could be certain that Wu Zhenfeng’s body hadn’t been stolen, but devoured.
Devoured by that aura in an extremely short time!
Method stood in place, looking at the pool of blood left by Wu Zhenfeng in front of him, and began to think.
…
A woman with her head wrapped in black cloth left the downtown area and walked to a desolate wilderness with no people around.
This woman was the fortune-telling master from the bar.
After leaving the bar, she headed west all the way until she reached this deserted outskirts where no passersby could be found.
Then, on a flat piece of ground, she unwrapped the black cloth from her head.
After removing the black cloth, the woman’s smooth head was revealed.
There wasn’t a single hair on her head.
The woman threw the black cloth on the ground, then put her hands together and began to recite an obscure incantation.
Seconds later, a black swirling vortex appeared on the ground beneath her feet!
This vortex grew larger and larger, slowly rising until it covered the woman’s entire body.
After a few more seconds, the black vortex suddenly disappeared!
And the woman who had been surrounded by the black vortex also disappeared from the ground.
The ground returned to normal, leaving only the black cloth that the woman had discarded.
…
The woman’s figure appeared in a huge cave.
This cave was dimly lit, but the space was extremely large.
The woman walked forward slowly, her footsteps echoing in the cave.
“How is the situation?”
At this moment, a deep voice containing endless coldness sounded from the depths of the cave.
The woman immediately stopped, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: “Supreme King, the fifty death poison insects you gave me earlier have all been sent out. At least forty people will join our ranks.”
The depths of the cave were silent for a moment, then said: “We need to speed up the progress. I will give you another hundred death poison insects, and you must send them all out within five days.”
“Understood.” The woman bowed again.
“Whoosh!”
A strange light flashed in front of the woman, and a black gourd bottle the size of a palm appeared in the air.
“The insects are all inside. Go now. I can’t wait to return to the surface and dominate everything!” said the voice from the depths of the cave.
The woman grabbed the gourd bottle in her hand and answered: “Understood!”
After speaking, the woman turned around, preparing to leave.
“By the way, when I was devouring a corpse just now, I think a human martial artist discovered me. He even used his divine consciousness to catch up with me.” The voice from the depths of the cave sounded again.
The woman paused and turned around.
“Before this, I had never encountered a human martial artist who could capture my aura.” The being in the depths of the cave said, “I have already seen his appearance. Help me investigate this person and find a way to inject poison insects into his body.”
“I want to make him my most capable subordinate, hahaha…”
A strange light flashed in the woman’s eyes, and then an image appeared in her mind.
It was Method standing in the bar!
It’s him!?
The woman’s heart trembled.
“What? You know him?” asked the being from the depths of the cave.
“…Yes, I just gave him a poison insect. I never expected that the martial artist who captured the King’s aura would be him… He only has the Innate Realm cultivation, which is considered very weak among human martial artists…” the woman said hesitantly.
The being in the depths of the cave was silent for a few seconds, then said: “That makes it even more interesting… Anyway, keep a close eye on him for me. I will have other subordinates assist you.”
The woman nodded and said: “Understood!”
Then, as if remembering something else, she said: “King, I recently discovered that there is a religion on the surface that seems to be doing something similar to what we’re doing.”
“Oh?” A puzzled voice came from the depths of the cave.
“This religion is called the Shaman God Cult. What they’re doing is absorbing human blood and souls to offer to an underground creature. They worship this underground creature as their religion’s sacred beast… What’s worth mentioning is that this underground creature is also a member of our Immortal race, just an ordinary giant python wolf.” The woman revealed a hint of mockery on her face as she spoke.
“Giant python wolf… Sacred beast. Good. You are responsible for contacting this religion and making them willingly become my subordinates. You should understand how to do this, right?” said the being from the depths of the cave.
“Understood!” the woman answered.
“Good, you may leave now. I have many other subordinates to meet.”
The woman turned around, activated her incantation, and a black vortex rose again beneath her feet.
Moments later, the woman disappeared from the cave.
…
The bar had been cleared out, with frightened customers all leaving.
Method walked out of the bar, wanting to return to his apartment.
But Luoxi ran after Method.
“Sir, please wait.”
Method stopped and turned around.
Luoxi ran up to Method, bringing a whiff of fragrance.
“What is it?” Method asked.
“Sir, I don’t even know your name yet.” Luoxi looked up slightly at Method, her pretty face showing a faint smile, while her cheeks were tinged with a slight blush, looking particularly beautiful.
“Method,” Method answered.
“Method…” Luoxi repeated the name once, and then said: “Mr. Method, you saved my life. I must repay you. May I ask… what do you need?”
Method looked at Luoxi who had moved closer, slightly frowned, and said: “No need to repay me. Saving you was just something I did in passing.”
After speaking, Method turned to leave.
But suddenly remembering something, he asked: “You’re the owner of this bar, right?”
“Yes!” Luoxi nodded.
“That woman… the so-called fortune-telling master, do you know her identity clearly?” Method asked.
“…Not very clearly. She told me she came from a small place in the southern part of the Nine Provinces Country… I didn’t ask too much.” Luoxi answered.
“Alright, if she appears in your bar again, notify me.” Method said.
“Sure! Mr. Method, what’s your phone number?” Luoxi asked excitedly.
Method recited a string of numbers and turned to leave.
Luoxi saved Method’s number in her phone contacts, then looked up at Method’s departing figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
At her most dangerous and helpless moment, Method had appeared before her eyes and rescued her.
This made Method’s figure deeply imprinted in her mind, impossible to erase.
“Master, are you alright?” Aqi walked up and asked.
Luoxi glanced at Aqi, the blush on her face fading, and said: “I’m fine.”
“That man…” Aqi asked hesitantly.
“His name is Method. He saved my life. In the future when you see him, you must show him the utmost respect!” Luoxi said coldly.
When she was in danger, she had seen how Aqi reacted.
Although she could understand Aqi’s fear, his cowardice and unwillingness to step forward still made her feel uncomfortable.
