Chapter 564 Inheritance (27)

It turned out that this disciple had been telling the truth to a certain extent.

It was just that the ending had been wrong.

They had been surrounded by spirit beasts all of sudden, but the elders hadn't been able to break through the blockade. They had been trapped by these spirit beasts that had appeared out of nowhere and then surrounded in a wave of black worms.

These were black worms that were like the one that was currently trapped in Lin Fan's hand.

But unlike the one that he had trapped, there were countless worms that had suddenly appeared out of the ground.

The elders and the disciples that were surrounded had tried all that they could to fight back the worms, but they found that they were weakened with each worm that they defeated.

Each worm that they killed released this black liquid that had soon filled the air with this strange smell.

There was even what seemed to be a black smoke that appeared after a large amount of this black liquid appeared.

The fumes weakened them and they weren't able to properly gather spiritual energy to fight back, so it didn't take long for the black worms to engulf them.

Then after being engulfed by these worms, his vision had turned to darkness and that was the last thing that the disciple remembered.

"When I woke up again, I found that I was surrounded by all of you and I had just been slapped."

There was an aggrieved tone in the disciple's voice when he said this as he looked at Lin Fan with an aggrieved look.

But Lin Fan just completely ignored him.

The elders couldn't help looking at the black worm that was currently hitting itself against the barrier that Lin Fan had put around it. They looked at this black worm with narrowed eyes, as if they were trying to replace out more about it.

However, it wasn't as if they could replace anything about it just by looking at it.

The only one that reacted differently was the elder who had healed the disciple.

She was looking down at her own hand with what almost seemed like a look of fear.

After all, she had been the one that had healed the disciple.

But more importantly, she had been the one that had cleaned up the black liquid that had oozed out of his wound.

Now that she heard about all the things that this black liquid was, she couldn't help feeling afraid that it would have an effect on her. Even if she didn't touch it directly because of Lin Fan's instructions, she still couldn't help worrying after hearing everything the disciple said.

It almost seemed like she wanted to cleanse her hand to make sure that nothing would happen.

Lin Fan had been silent after hearing this story, but he did think that it made sense.

He had already been able to replace some information about this worm with his Appraisal Eyes, but it also raised more questions for him.

Control Worm

A worm used by the Control Toad to control different creatures.

This was the description that appeared when he used his Appraisal Eyes on the worm.

It was just too simple for him to get any meaningful information from it.

So he had no choice but to rely on other means.

Inside of his sleeve, wrapped around his arm was something that was currently checking this black worm that he had trapped.

In fact, it was because of this thing wrapped around his arm that he was able to trap this black worm in the first place. That was because the power of this thing wrapped around his arm was similar to the power of the black worm, so it knew what to do to trap this black worm.

As for what this thing was, it was naturally Greeny.

Greeny had the ability to control living things with its seeds, just like how the black worm was able to control living things.

It seemed that what the black worm used was similar to Greeny, where it used spiritual sense to control them. So it embedded itself into the spine of its target and used forced its spiritual sense in to control them.

That was how it had controlled the disciple just now.

Greeny had been using this time to see if it was able to replace anything else about this black worm, but even now it wasn't able to replace anything.

Greeny could have used more forceful methods, but all that would happen is that it would alert the master of this black worm.

As the description had said, this worm was used by something called the Control Toad to control other living beings.

Since it was used by the Control Toad, it would be connected to that Control Toad.

If Greeny were to use its spiritual sense to forcefully probe the worm, there was no doubt that this Control Toad would be alerted to this. Once that happened, it would immediately send a swarm of spirit beasts and worms after them.

Lin Fan still didn't know how to deal with this thing, so before that, he wouldn't do anything risky like this.

After all, the worst case scenario wasn't just death, but rather being controlled by this thing for life. That was something that should be worse than death.

But of course, he couldn't just keep maintaining the barrier around this black worm.

It would not only drain his spiritual energy, it also took a lot out of him to maintain it.

So he needed to replace a way to contain this thing without the barrier.

That was where the system came in, but not his system. It was the store for the Dungeon Master system.

There was a cage that was on sale that would negate spiritual sense, so not only would it cut off the worm's connection with the Control Toad, it would also trap it and stop it from escaping.

The only downside was that it cost quite a bit, but Lin Fan didn't have time to think about that.

For now, he had enough because of all the people that came to his Dungeon City after

Mu Bao Bao came.

So he was able to buy it without too much pain.

After he exchanged for this cage, he pulled it out and put the worm in.

The worm was still struggling when he put it into the cage, but then when he closed it…

The worm suddenly froze as if something was happening.

He carefully watched the worm to see what happened, but all that happened was that the worm fell to the ground of the cage. It just laid there without moving at all, almost as if it was dead.

But when Lin Fan opened the cage to check on it, he found that it started moving again.

Only when he closed the cage did the worm act like it was dead.

Why was that?

Why did the worm suddenly act this way?

Lin Fan couldn't figure it out, but luckily he had Greeny there with him.

It was the spiritual sense connection between the worm and the Control Toad.

This cage was something that cut off spiritual sense and this worm was controlled by the spiritual sense of the Control Toad. Once that was cut off, the worm lost control and it flopped to the ground like this.

It was just like a puppet that had its strings cut.

In this scenario, the worm was the puppet and the spiritual sense was its strings.

The elders had been very confused by Lin Fan's actions, but they couldn't help admitting that his actions did yield results. After all, they could see that the worm had flopped on the floor of the cage after it was locked in.

Senior Brother Ying asked, "Sect master, what happened? Did you replace something?"

Lin Fan shook his head before slowly giving a nod and saying, "It seems that there's something controlling this worm with spiritual sense." As for the rest, he wouldn't tell the elders since he wouldn't be able to explain it.

The elders all revealed doubtful looks before Senior Brother Ying asked, "How do you know this?"

Lin Fan held the cage he was holding up so they could see before saying, "This is a special item that can cut off spiritual sense up to a certain point. After I put it in the cage, it suddenly lost all functions. That means that whatever was controlling it lost control since I cut the spiritual sense."

The elders nodded slowly in agreement before suddenly looking at the cage.

The way that they looked at it, it was almost as if they were trying to figure out if what Lin Fan had said was true.

But when their spiritual sense failed to penetrate the cage, they had to admit that it was true.

That was when they looked at Lin Fan with strange looks.

It was clear that they were wondering where Lin Fan had gotten such an amazing item that could even cut off spiritual sense, but it wasn't as if they could ask it.

In the end, they just dropped this as Senior Brother Ying asked, "What should we do now?"

Lin Fan was silent for a bit when he heard this question, but then he turned to the disciple to ask, "Can you bring us to where you were attacked?"

The disciple revealed a worried look when he heard this as he asked, "Why would you go there, sect master?"

Lin Fan just said, "Can you do it?"

The disciple gave a slow nod in the end.

Lin Fan nodded too before saying, "Then bring us there."

The disciple looked like he had more to say, but seeing the look on Lin Fan's face, he knew that he wouldn't be able to convince him otherwise.

So he had no choice but to lead them.
