Chapter 872 -430: Encounter the Door of Friendship Again!_2
Seeing this, the monster became even more arrogant, biting and chasing relentlessly.
“Eight…nine…ten…”
Shen Ye recited.
A scream of agony.
The beast collapsed on the ground, convulsed for a moment, and then lay still.
Tiny letters of light quickly emerged:
“The ‘Kua Fu’ you have designated has died.”
The substitute stopped in its tracks.
Light.
Shen Ye uttered.
The barrier of light bloomed again, enveloping both the cottage and its surroundings.
With the light, the appearance of the monster became clear.
“There actually exists such strange creatures…”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but murmur.
On the ground lay a creature that was unmistakably a cat-dog.
It was called a cat-dog because it had a head on each end of its body—one was black, similar to a cheetah’s, a feline head; the other head was that of a fierce dog.
Such a strange creature!
Lines of tiny letters appeared beside the corpse of the monster:
“???”
“Unknown entity.”
“Description: Corpse Transformation will occur after its death for ten minutes, with strength increasing by thirtyfold.”
There’s even such a thing!
—Who allowed you to transform after death?
“Resurrect.”
Shen Ye recited.
Within the barrier of light, a dazzling light fell upon the monster.
“Under the cover of ‘Eternal Truth’s Dim Light’, you may resurrect seven times in a day.”
“Used once, six remaining.”
Snap.
The monster jumped up from the ground, its expression malevolent as it stared at Shen Ye’s substitute.
—It revived.
Shen Ye immediately retracted the “Dim Light,” and asked:
“Hey, with a head on each end of your body, how do you go to the toilet?”
The monster, which had been about to pounce, froze upon hearing this question.
It turned both heads to the side.
“Wow, there’s an anus on both sides—doesn’t that stink horribly?”
Shen Ye asked seriously.
The monster stiffened, then suddenly became furious!
“Meow-woof—”
It roared and again lunged toward the substitute.
But the substitute bolted.
The monster chased after.
Ten seconds.
Thump.
The monster fell to the ground, dead again.
A line of letters in light popped up:
“Corpse Transformation in ten minutes, strength increased by thirtyfold.”
Don’t you dare die!
Shen Ye released the light of resurrection once more.
The monster opened its eyes and immediately went for the substitute.
But this time, Shen Ye didn’t lift the barrier of light—
“Ow ow ow ow!”
Bathed in the light, the monster let out scream after scream, turning to flee outside the barrier.
Run?
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
The substitute grabbed the monster’s leg and held it in its arms.
Secret Technique—
Sunbathing!
The substitute held the beast aloft, letting that light shine upon it, inflicting pain as though it were sliced by a thousand blades.
The monster let out increasingly woeful screams until, unable to endure anymore, the two heads bit each other fiercely with a “crack”!
It would prefer death!
Rather than endure such torment!
“Hey—don’t die.” Shen Ye’s voice suddenly rang out again.
The monster, already dead with every sign of finality and determination, felt a foreboding chill the instant it heard those words.
When it awoke again, it found its limbs bound.
Its body shaped like a “U”, so the tops of both heads were pressing against each other.
This way, they could not bite each other.
The barrier of light was withdrawn.
The human squatted before it and said:
“My other friends can’t come here, and I’m quite lonely; how about you keep me company?”
“Meow-woof…” the monster hesitated, growling softly.
“You don’t have to do much on ordinary days, just guard the door and report anything unusual promptly,” Shen Ye said.
The monster cast a disdainful glance at him.
“The light won’t hurt you; it will only let your enemies feel the pain.”
“Also, as you can probably tell, I’m good at mining. If I dig up something you can use, it’s yours to have,” Shen Ye added.
The two heads of the monster rubbed against each other restlessly.
Restless?
Shen Ye had his substitute draw a long sword, raised high:
“Either friend or foe, and we can repeat what we just did countless times.”
The blade flashed coldly.
Gradually, the eighteen layers of Hell quietly emerged around them.
And then.
The light gleamed once more!
The monster suddenly let out a long, pleading howl.
It agreed!
Shen Ye exhaled a sigh of relief, telling the substitute to lower the sword.
Then, beside the monster, lines of prompts emerged from the void:
“You have gained the loyalty of ???.”
“You need to further unravel its secrets to better command it.”
“Besides, loyalty is not eternal.”
All the tiny letters vanished.
He untied the monster, about to ask it something more, when he sensed a shift outside.
Let’s practice for now and deal with the outside matters later.
“Rest for now, later you’ll accompany me mining.”
The substitute said.
The monster nodded obediently and lay down in front of the cottage door.
Shen Ye had the substitute continue cultivating in the room. Then he quickly withdrew his attention to check the latest news from the Cosmic Council.
—The Cosmic Council had finally verified the task.
The task commentary appeared again:
“Confirmation of completion.”
“The Heaven-Shaking Technique is related to the ultimate secret of the cosmic Era; it’s no wonder Saintly Honor is unwilling to let you go given that you’ve uncovered this intelligence within the Taoist Palace.”
“You’ve suffered.”
“This intelligence check is correct, of significant importance; hereby awarded 700 merit points!”
So generous?
I have even more intelligence.
—But at this point, it’s not very convenient to reveal further.
Lest they begin to suspect themselves.
Shen Ye thought and closed the task page, switching to the merit point exchange page instead.
“Spend 300 merit points to exchange for the following merit reward:”
“Tarot the Six.”
“Current remaining merit points: 510.”
With his manipulation, the void suddenly opened up.
