With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 565 Inheritance (28)



Chapter 565 Inheritance (28)

It didn't take them long to arrive at the destination.

This was where the disciple's group had suddenly been ambushed by the spirit beasts.

There were signs of struggle all over the area, showing that the elders and disciples didn't go down easy. However, there were also no signs of the elders and disciples left in the area for them to follow.

It seemed that whatever had attacked them had already taken them away.

Or it might even be possible that they had killed them and ate them since they were spirit beasts.

But then again, since the disciple that had been sent to trap them had been parasitized by a worm…it was very likely that the other disciples and elders had also been infected by the Control Worm.

It was very likely that they had been taken to see the Control Toad that controlled those Control Worms.

So what they had to do was not give up hope and find traces of their comrades.

The first thing that they did was look for clues and they spread out to look for them.

But it really was hard for them to do so since there was a black liquid that covered this area.

Though this liquid had been here for a while now, it didn't dry off and it still covered the ground. When they looked closely, they could see that there were still some black fumes that were coming from this black liquid, so they had to be careful to avoid it.

They had heard what it did from the disciple, so they weren't willing to put themselves at risk while searching for clues.

They moved around the black liquid and the area with the black smoke, looking carefully for anything that they could follow up on. But the only things that they could find were traces of fighting that were left behind.

There were many claw marks and holes in the ground which showed that it was fierce, but there weren't any tracks for them to follow. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to find anything.

While they were searching, there were other spirit beasts that appeared, but they completely ignored them.

With the way that the spirit beasts walked past, it was almost as if they didn't exist.

It was as if the spirit beasts didn't see them at all.

But why would that be?

It was because they were all using an illusion array.

This was the same one that they had used to fool people into believing that they were still out there in the wilderness.

This was a powerful array that Lin Fan had bought from the system, so it wouldn't be that easy for the spirit beasts to break through it and see them.

Even if they were able to break through, there were some elders that had been watching over everything just in case. They were ready to spring in and protect the others searching if need be.

But there was nothing that they could find in the end.

Lin Fan pulled the disciple in front of him and asked, "Are you certain that you don't remember a single thing? Just one thing would be enough for us to go on."

The disciple revealed an awkward look and slowly shook his head.

He really didn't know what to say since there was nothing that he remembered about this place. Everything that he remembered was what had happened before they had been taken, so it wasn't as if he would know what happened to them after he fainted.

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't blame the disciple.

He was a victim, so he wasn't about to start blaming a victim…

He was about to ask something else when there was someone that suddenly called out, "I found something!"

When Lin Fan heard this, he immediately went over to where this voice was coming from.

When he arrived, he found that there were already a bunch of elders that had gathered around the area and they were all looking at something on the ground. Only when he came closer did he see what they were looking at and he saw how disgusting it was.

This was the corpse of a spirit beast that was lying on the ground.

Judging by the black liquid that it was covered in and the worm that seemed to crawl out of it, but only made it halfway, this was one of the spirit beasts that had attacked the elders and disciples.

But that wasn't the most disgusting thing about this spirit beast corpse.

The most disgusting thing was that the bottom half of this spirit beast was missing and it had bled out from its top half. There were organs that were in a trail behind it as if it had been dragged out while it was crawling in this direction.

Even in its final moments, it seemed like it was heading in some direction.

They didn't know what this spirit beast had been planning to do, but it was clear that it had some kind of objective as it crawled in this direction.

So they figured that this must be some kind of clue.

Of course, no one dared to approach the corpse of the spirit beast to search it.

First, it was disgusting, so it would be hard for them to approach it in the first place.

Second, it was unknown if there was anything inside of this spirit beast corpse, so it was better to observe it from afar.

But it wasn't as if there was much information that they could get from it.

That was until one of the elders said, "Was it going somewhere?"

As soon as he said this, all of the other elders started following up as they said, "It must be or else it wouldn't have dragged itself to death like this."

"Then should we head in that direction to see if we can find something?"

"But what should we do if we do find them? This is something that can even control something to follow its orders in death…What do we do if they've already taken over the elders and the disciples?"

All of them had heavy looks on their faces when they heard this.

They looked back down at the spirit beast corpse in front of them and those expressions became even heavier.

This was clearly something that they had never experienced before, so they had no idea how to cure it if the elders and disciples were infected already.

They didn't even know if it could be cured in the end.

No, they should be able to cure it since Lin Fan had already cured the disciple earlier or else they would have been led into another trap. So it meant that there was a way to cure them.

But by now, a long time had passed, so they had no idea what kind of state the ones that had been captured were in. They had no idea how bad it was and if they would be able to help them.

So naturally they couldn't help worrying about what to do next.

After a long moment of silence, Senior Brother Ying turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Sect master, what should we do now?"

Lin Fan had been silently staring at the spirit beast corpse the entire time, almost as if he was thinking about something.

When Senior Brother Ying asked this, Lin Fan just ignored him as he kept staring at this spirit beast corpse.

Finally, he took a step forward towards the spirit beast corpse and then suddenly leaned down towards it.

He reached his hand towards the spirit beast corpse as all of the elders started to warn him against it. But even then, Lin Fan just ignored all of them as he held his hand over the spirit beast corpse.

It didn't seem like he was touching it, it seemed like he was just holding his hand over it.

But why would he be doing that?

Only Lin Fan knew what he was really doing, which was bringing Greeny closer to this spirit beast corpse. Or rather, he was bringing Greeny closer to the worm that had crawled halfway out of the spirit beast.

Greeny poked its head out of Lin Fan's sleeve, to which Lin Fan made sure to lean in so that the other elders couldn't see what Greeny was doing.

To the elders, it just seemed like Lin Fan was moving closer to the spirit beast corpse.

Greeny didn't do much before suddenly releasing what seemed to be a breath of spores.

These spores floated through the air before landing on the black worm.

After landing on the black worm, this black worm trembled a bit before it suddenly started moving.

It looked around as if it was trying to figure out where it was before suddenly looking up at Greeny.

When it did, it just stopped moving for a bit before suddenly bursting apart into black liquid.

Greeny had already moved back when this happened, so the black liquid didn't get on Lin Fan or Greeny.

After seeing this black worm burst apart, Greeny looked back up at Lin Fan and shook its head.

Lin Fan gave a sigh in the end before standing up and turning around to say, "We'll head in the direction that this spirit beast was crawling to see if we can find anything."

The elders all looked at him with strange looks and they surrounded him, as if they were afraid of him.

Lin Fan could guess what they were thinking, so he said, "I'm still me. Stop playing around or we'll waste all our daylight."

The elders looked at him with the same strange look, but they still nodded in agreement in the end.
