Chapter 273: Chapter 273 I Have a Bold Idea

Due to its reduced size, the Light of God Destruction’s ability to summon Black Energy had drastically declined. Moreover, most of the nearby Black Energy had already been assimilated into the Black Giant Dragon, so it took some time before it was able to barely gather enough Black Energy.

The Light of God Destruction’s appearance also changed from a tiny flea to an agile four-legged snake.

"This Black Energy is enough to be self-sufficient. The rest is to find a safe place to hide; as long as it’s not discovered, there is still a chance for a comeback."

There was no possibility of returning to the underground ruins.

As its place of origin, whether the Library knew it was still alive or not, it would inevitably conduct a thorough exploration of that site. If necessary, it might even completely destroy the ruins to ensure the absolute safety of the Library.

Staying in the underground ruins was simply courting death.

A more reliable method was to completely act like an ordinary creature, excavate a lair, and hide away.

As long as it found an opportunity to proliferate the Black Energy, its power would begin to expand, and all the abilities it had reduced to escape would come back.

To counterattack Fairyland and disperse despair among humans, whether through the Grey Energy’s surveillance of human activities or the manipulation of Black Energy to corrupt fairies into constructing black creatures, both were indispensable.

Winding through brush and flower fields, the Light of God Destruction searched for a covert location to make its lair. Suddenly, the rustling sound from the bushes made it halt and become alert.

Upon closer inspection, a light blue gelatinous creature was devouring a blade of grass, but it spat it out disdainfully not long after swallowing it.

He Meng was completely forgotten by Yang Yu and the others.

After being entrusted to the fairies by Yang Yu, He Meng had been getting along harmoniously with them.

But perhaps it was the confinement within the narrow jar. Before long, drowsiness overtook He Meng.

There was no Dark Night in Fairyland; it was as bright as midday, while the outside world was shrouded in pitch-black silence.

He Meng’s biological clock also urged it to sleep.

Without giving it much thought, the trapped He Meng fell asleep in the jar.

Seeing He Meng asleep, the fairies ceased their chatter and quietly stayed by his side, waiting for the situation to be resolved, for Yang Yu to come and claim him.

But no one expected that a sudden change would occur in Fairyland. The fairies notified each other of the grim situation, and with the help of friends, they moved through the Guardian Barrier to take refuge within the White Ball.

The fairies accompanying He Meng also received this news. They tried to wake He Meng, asking for its opinion on whether to join them and seek refuge in the White Ball or stay and help Yang Yu and the others.

But He Meng did not stir from its slumber, despite their efforts to awaken him.

As the Black Energy surged and gathered, each fairy was fraught with urgency. To avoid being swept up themselves, they had no choice but to abandon their attempts to wake He Meng and with fluttering wings, they passed through the Guardian Barrier.

Thus, He Meng was left behind, alone, involuntarily.

It wasn’t the sense of loneliness from being left alone that abruptly awoke it, but rather a piece of rubble flying from the destruction of the castle by the Light of God Destruction that happened to shatter the jar that contained it.

Unexpectedly attacked, He Meng started to mount a defense and looked around for the attacker. Then it saw the battle between Yang Yu’s group and the Light of God Destruction.

"Why does he always inexplicably end up fighting some strange things? Wanting to sleep peacefully, yet never allowed to rest easy. But by the looks of it, that bundle of darkness should be the culprit of this incident..."

Seeing Yang Yu fighting the Black Dragon with ease, He Meng yawned greatly.

Since the bottle that contained it had already broken, and Yang Yu appeared confident, it was time to find a safe place and relax to his heart’s content.

Thus, to avoid being affected by the battle, He Meng left the battlefield early, passed through the flower field, and came to a grassland to quietly await the end of the fight.

As the battle ensued, the Black Dragon took to the sky and continued to stay aloft.

"It seems the fight won’t end anytime soon. However, it doesn’t matter, that man will surely find a way to deal with it. If he needs my help, he’ll surely come to me shamelessly asking for it."

Fully aware of this, He Meng began to search for food nearby to replenish his stamina.

But having grown accustomed to the Clover cultivated by Yang Yu, all other grasses now seemed hard to swallow. Reluctantly, he had to spit them out and kept trying to find any other grass he could barely manage to ingest.

He Meng’s every move was under the watchful eye of the Light of God Destruction, which remembered this Slime as the Demon brought by Yang Yu’s party.

Soon, a bold idea formed in the mind of the Light of God Destruction.

Fairies are the most susceptible to corruption into a Core, and although Demons are not as easily corrupted as Fairies, driving a Demon into despair could extract a great amount of Magic Power from it, transforming it into their own Strength.

Moreover, if it could possess this Slime and manipulate it to burrow underground, even if Yang Yu were incredibly skilled, he would never be able to dig it out.

He could only watch his companion vanish with anxiety and regret for becoming involved in this matter.

In doing so, not only would he have his revenge on Yang Yu, but he would also plant the seeds of pain in his heart. With just a little watering, the pain would take root and bear the fruit of Despair.

Deciding to go all out, the Light of God Destruction disintegrated its torso, and its Black Energy formed into a four-legged snake that instantly buried itself underground, moving slowly towards He Meng, while it transformed back into flea form, leaping towards He Meng.

Sensing something approaching, He Meng’s soft body instinctively grew an arm and swatted the Light of God Destruction harshly onto the ground like swatting a mosquito.

The Light of God Destruction was shocked, unable to accept what had just happened.

How could it be... Why did it easily detect my approach and without hesitation fiercely slapped me to the ground... Could it be that all this was a trap set by that man, deliberately leaving this Slime behind to completely erase me...

Countless possibilities swirled in the flea-like body, and the Light of God Destruction remained motionless, even the Black Energy moving under the ground stopped, fearful that another move would get it squashed by He Meng.

However, He Meng withdrew the arm it had swung out, sensing it had hit something, but not sure what it actually had hit.

Curious to see what it actually swatted, He Meng moved closer to the Light of God Destruction, with no guard up.

Walking right into the trap? Could it be completely unaware of my presence... Right, it seems to have been left alone outside, even if that guy found something in the ruins, he most certainly had no time to tell it. Meaning, it knows nothing about me.

If this thought was correct, there was still a chance.

As He Meng drew near, the Light of God Destruction lay on the ground motionlessly, pretending to be an ordinary flea corpse.

In fact, it was the true hunter lying in wait.
