I'm also desperate.
Chapter 579 Yin Messengers Retreat
Looking dazed, Fang Yue trembled all over as the yin servant's hand pierced his body.
But the yin servant suddenly retracted its hand as quickly as it had plunged it in.
So short?!
Ah, no, so fast??
Before Fang Yue could even register his near-death experience, the yin servant looked up into the distance.
There, a stone-like humanoid ghoul was walking towards them step by step.
"Let him go."
The yin servant looked at it, then, carrying the Yin Candle, prepared to pierce Fang Yue's heart again.
"Just look at the sky. So many about to die are waiting to be harvested; surely this one won't make a difference."
The yin servant stopped. This time, it looked at the sky.
Staring at the dark clouds for a moment, then looking at the approaching stone ghoul, the yin servant actually floated away, carrying the Yin Candle!
The yin servant actually left?!
Fang Yue was stunned. By the time the lightning's illumination faded, even Fang Yue couldn't see where the Yin Servant had gone.
Was the yin servant afraid of the thunderclouds in the sky, or was it afraid of the stone humanoid ghoul in front?
Or… was it both?
If the yin servant was afraid of the night rain, that would be incredibly good news.
But it didn't make sense.
Rain-level experts weren't afraid of the night rain, yet some had died at the hands of the yin servant.
Over the years, surely someone would have tried to hide from the yin servant in the night rain.
So, was the stone ghoul just too strong?
What was its background?
Fang Yue's heart sank. How terrifying must something be to make a yin servant retreat?
Not to mention, Fang Yue had used up all his trump cards to deal with Bai Xiaoya.
Although his own strength had increased by one realm, reaching the Xiantian Yiliu realm.
His overall strength had actually plummeted.
Without the parchment, Fang Yue had no means to fight a Rain-level ghoul head-on… no, not even a Disaster-level ghoul. He had only beaten those by taking medicine.
That was Fang Yue's normal combat strength!
Now that he had reached the Xiantian Yiliu realm, he could at most fight a Disaster-level ghoul. Anything above that, such as a Calamity-level or Rain-level ghoul, would crush him.
So, when faced with that stone ghoul, Fang Yue's first thought was to run.
But he had to escape with a plan, and not expose his back to the enemy right away.
As Fang Yue pondered, the stone ghoul spoke.
"Finally matured."
"Ghoul Spirit Root, Ghoul Fruit."
"Hmm? Wait, why is there another similar aura?"
The stone ghoul frowned, sensing something, then immediately relaxed.
"So, it's just a substandard imitation."
"No wonder the signals I sent out were repeatedly interfered with and blocked."
"Among humans, there are some talents who have found a new path and come up with such a brilliant idea, which is somewhat similar to the Finger Ghoul's concept, and even more complete."
"In terms of technology, humans are indeed moving further and more steadily."
"But alas, inferior products are still inferior. Only something born naturally is qualified to be called a Ghoul Fruit!"
The stone ghoul walked over step by step, saying things that shocked Fang Yue.
"Finger Ghoul?! And matured… what exactly are you… are you and the Blade Ghoul and others…"
The stone ghoul stopped, standing ten meters away from Fang Yue, and said with a smile, "They were sent by me to observe your growth."
"Everything has gone as I expected, leading to the result I most desire."
"Human, you have grown, I am very happy!"
"Now, it's time for me to harvest the fruit."
Fang Yue was stunned. The Finger Ghoul, the Blade Ghoul, and the previous Coffin-Pulling Ghoul and Bai Xiaoya were all sent by this stone ghoul to deal with him??
Hiss…
Could it be faking death, waiting to die, and then immediately give me a fatal move?
But… if this thing is really the mastermind, and has such strong strength, does it need to lie on the ground pretending to be dead?
Doubtfully, he walked up to the stone ghoul and examined it carefully.
Fang Yue was immediately dumbfounded.
Because the stone ghoul had actually been killed by the night rain!!
What the hell…
Fang Yue was speechless.
This guy said so much grandstanding, so powerful, so mystical, but couldn't even withstand the night rain??
What a big-tailed wolf!
Fang Yue was also speechless. He even suspected that he was getting timid because of the consecutive situations, and was actually scared by this kind of ghoul!
It's over, it's over, I feel like my IQ has dropped.
So… the yin servant wasn't afraid of the stone ghoul at all? There was another reason.
Wait! The last direction the yin servant looked was the dark clouds.
And above the dark clouds… was the night sky!
Calculating the time, he had been fighting all night, and it was almost dawn!
Fang Yue's Night Breathing was about to lose its effect.
And the yin servant seemed to have left because of the dawn!
Thinking of this, Fang Yue's face changed drastically.
Without the blessing of Night Breathing, he wasn't even qualified to be rained on!
When would the Ghoul Curse: Night Rain end… Could it be that it wouldn't stop??
This was not right, if the Ghoul Curse: Black Rain had this effect, then it was too terrifying!
It could be said that if one was constantly bathed in the night rain, no one except Rain-level experts could survive in the night rain!
Below the Rain-level, all would be destroyed!
Could this be the truth of the Ghoul Curse: Black Rain?!
Thinking that the Ghoul Curse: Black Rain might be so perverted.
Fang Yue felt his mouth dry, and his heart panicked.
One could hide from the first day, but not the fifteenth.
If he was constantly covered by the night rain, there would always be a time when he would capsize, not to mention that without Night Breathing, he couldn't even go out during the day and could only hide under the eaves.
And according to the current trend of the night rain, it was going to turn into Severe Rain, a corrosive rain that even buildings couldn't withstand!
Just when Fang Yue was still worrying about the Ghoul Curse: Black Rain, and feeling panicked.
Suddenly another ghoul emerged from the house.
This ghoul was very strange.
Because it was a crawling ghoul that wriggled on the ground, but at this moment, it stood like a human, leaning close to the end position, wriggling over.
Wh-what the hell?!
It felt like the style of painting was different!
Just as Fang Yue was wondering, the ghoul actually spoke.
"There was a small accident… Where were we?"
"Oh right, I was going to tell you that you have become my first hunting target in a hundred years."
"Human, you can die with this honor, smiling in the afterlife."
"Swallowed into my stomach, turned into my nourishment, you are not ashamed."
