Jie jie~
Just as Ye Haochuan was about to suffocate in the grasp of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, a piercing screech suddenly rang out.
When the Blood Pupil Demon Ape heard this sound, it was as if it had seen sothing terrifying. It no longer bothered to keep kneading Ye Haochuan, but quickly turned around and half-knelt respectfully.
Very soon, a gigantic Nine Nether White Tiger slowly walked over. Judging from the look of it, that sound just now had clearly co from it.
"Could this be the leader of the Demon Beasts?" Ye Haochuan, hovering on the verge of unconsciousness, saw this scene and was shocked to his core.
The Nine Nether White Tiger was an extrely rare kind of Demon Beast, and the one before his eyes had clearly not fully grown yet, only at Immortal Transformation Peak level.
Once fully grown, a Nine Nether White Tiger would exist on par with a Holy Beast. Even Cultivators at True Immortal Peak might not be its match.
No wonder this beast tide is so fierce. So it was all orchestrated by the Nine Nether White Tiger!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help sighing.
In the Immortal Realm, once a Demon Beast reached True Immortal Level, it would possess intelligence no weaker than humans.
This Nine Nether White Tiger hadn’t reached the True Immortal Realm yet, but as a High-Level Demon Beast species in itself, its intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary Demon Beasts.
At this mont, Ye Haochuan had completely lost the will to resist. The Blood Pupil Demon Ape alone had utterly crushed him; let alone now that an even more terrifying Nine Nether White Tiger had shown up.
Knowing he was dood, Ye Haochuan’s mindset actually cald down a little, and he started carefully sizing up the Nine Nether White Tiger.
"Eh? There’s a Fat Worm on the tiger’s head?" Ye Haochuan said, sowhat surprised.
A Nine Nether White Tiger was such a noble Demon Beast; how could it tolerate sothing just sitting on its head?
And judging from its expression, it didn’t look angry in the slightest, as if it was already used to this.
The next mont, the Nine Nether White Tiger suddenly lowered its noble head, while that Fat Worm straightened its body up at that exact mont.
"Roar roar~"
The Demon Beasts all around suddenly let out low roars in unison, and they all lowered their heads, as if worshipping their own king.
Nani, this Fat Worm is actually the leader?
Ye Haochuan felt like his entire worldview had been refreshed.
He couldn’t tell what species this Fat Worm was at all. Though there were so Flower Energy fluctuations on its body, he couldn’t sense the slightest bit of danger from it.
Sothing like this would be the leader of the Demon Beasts?
The fact was undeniable, because the Demon Beasts all around had already perfectly illustrated this point.
"Jie jie~"
The Nine Nether White Tiger softly muttered a few more sounds, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape froze for a mont, then lifted Ye Haochuan up with both hands and presented him before the Fat Worm.
"Ye Haochuan, long ti no see!" the Fat Worm suddenly said.
Nani, it can actually speak human language? No wait, how does it know this young master’s na?
Ye Haochuan was utterly stunned.
"What, you don’t recognize ?" the Fat Worm said in a very familiar tone. "Makes sense, I do look different now!"
"You look different? What were you before?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"I used to look like an ant. You forgot? You were the one who bought at the auction and helped undo the Seal!" A plump smile curled up on the Fat Worm’s fat face.
"You’re that... No way, how did you turn into this?" Ye Haochuan was incomparably shocked, to the point he almost forgot about the injuries on his body.
"I can’t tell you about that just yet!" The Fat Worm chuckled. "I can only tell you this: I am the Overlord of this place now! From now on you can follow . I promise I’ll make you soone above all others and beneath only one, so you’ll never have to skulk around hiding again."
Skulk around hiding? This young master isn’t skulking around hiding now, okay?
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
This Fat Worm’s impression of him was clearly still stuck on those two encounters back then.
The first ti, Ye Haochuan really had been fleeing the Gu Family’s hunt. The second ti, although he was at the auction, he’d used an Escape Pill to run because he was hiding from Gu Fan.
Back then he hadn’t gone to Half-Mountain Residence yet, hadn’t found Shentu Fu to lean on, and was roaming the Immortal Realm alone, so of course he’d been cautious.
"Forget it, I still prefer being free and alone. I’m not into power and status." Ye Haochuan declined with a smile.
The smile on the Fat Worm’s face instantly froze, and there seed to be a trace of anger in its voice: "You’re sure you’re going to spurn my kindness?"
Seeing the Fat Worm suddenly change face, Ye Haochuan’s heart sank, but he still firmly nodded.
Whether the Fat Worm’s promise would co true or not, he would never agree. Saying he didn’t like the constraints of power was just an excuse; the real reason was that he could not accept being ruled over by a Demon Beast.
No matter what species this Demon Beast was, even if it were a True Dragon, no way!
"In consideration of the ties between us in the past, this king specially granted you the honor of joining my Demon Beast army, and you actually don’t know what’s good for you!" The Fat Worm’s face changed in an instant, releasing all of its kingly aura.
"Roar~"
The Demon Beasts all around, seeing their king enraged, all let out furious roars, as if outraged by Ye Haochuan’s disrespect.
Nima, Demon Beasts really are hard to serve, changing faces just like that.
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.
Even though the situation was critical, Ye Haochuan still wouldn’t compromise on this matter.
The Demon Beasts in Mushan County were clearly standing against the human race. If he bowed his head and agreed, he’d basically be like a traitor; how was he supposed to show his face in the future?
The Fat Worm glared indignantly at Ye Haochuan for a while, looking as if it might order the Demon Beasts around it to erupt at any mont and tear Ye Haochuan to pieces.
However, in the end it still didn’t do that, instead choosing to give Ye Haochuan a chance.
"I’ll give you one day to think. If you still refuse after that, then don’t bla for being ruthless. You and your friends all have to die, because you’ve learned things you shouldn’t know!"
"Friends? What friends?" Ye Haochuan was very puzzled.
The Fat Worm didn’t answer him, but used a strange voice to say a few words to the Blood Pupil Demon Ape.
The Blood Pupil Demon Ape nodded in agreent, then carried Ye Haochuan and headed toward the city. The Nine Nether White Tiger bearing the Fat Worm on its back also slowly followed behind.
"That’s... Ling Zhixing’s inn?" Ye Haochuan looked in surprise at a building not far away.
Ever since Demon Beasts had occupied the place, most of the buildings in Mushan City had been damaged. Even those that hadn’t been damaged had been left filthy and foul thanks to the Demon Beasts’ rampaging.
Only this inn still looked just like it had before. It seed that every Demon Beast passing by would detour around it, as if afraid to disturb the people inside.
"How did you know this inn has sothing to do with ?" Ye Haochuan could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked the Fat Worm.
"You really thought I just coldly left after you undid the Seal back then?" the Fat Worm said irritably.
"You followed ?" Ye Haochuan asked, his expression odd.
The Fat Worm didn’t answer that question, but it didn’t deny it either. It only said, "Not only do I know this inn is yours, I also know you’ve got a beauty you always keep in your thoughts..."
As if to verify the Fat Worm’s words, a graceful figure suddenly walked out from the inn.
