Chapter 1123: Chapter 510: True Greed_2

"How about it, do you want to make a wish?" Lamp God hurriedly looked at Mu You.

Making a wish, relying on the power of miracles, was the only method he could think of now.

"Can I directly wish to eradicate the incarnation of Gusha?" Mu You asked.

"How could that be possible, what are you thinking?" Lamp God gave a bitter smile, "Even if it’s just an incarnation, it’s still Gusha’s incarnation! The power of miracles has its limitations, especially when it comes to dealing with certain beings; the constraints are immense. Creatures with combat power exceeding mine are basically outside the range of wish-granting."

"In any case, directly resolving the opponent is impossible, but you can wish to instantly kill other Dark Cave Beasts, which at least would expose the position of Gusha’s incarnation!" Lamp God quickly said.

"Just to expose its presence..."

Mu You immediately hesitated.

There was only one last chance for a free wish. The first of the previous two times was used to destroy the Million Undead Army, and the other to revive the Earth’s deceased populace, both considered meaningful uses. But now, it could merely reveal the location of Gusha, which seemed like a waste of a significant resource.

The most critical issue was, even if they located Gusha’s incarnation, could they stop Gusha?

After all, this wasn’t an ordinary underground place, but a dark abyss. Above was an endless darkness, and if Gusha chose to flee battle and escape into the darkness, they would almost lose any chance to find Gusha again. Here, whether he made a wish or not, the outcome seemed to be predestined...

"Don’t worry, there’s no need..."

While Mu You was entangled in thought, a voice from behind of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer suddenly came.

"Oh?" Just as Mu You was about to turn around, he heard the Watchman on the other side shout in alarm, "Quick, look over there!"

Everyone followed the direction he pointed and saw, on a distant mountain wall amidst a dense cluster of Dark Cave Beasts, a shadow suddenly appeared under one of them, highlighted by the light shining on it.

Creatures born in the Dark Cave naturally possessed the ability to devour light, absorbing all the light that shone upon them. Naturally, this meant they wouldn’t cast shadows.

The same applied to Gusha’s snakeskin, which also originated in the Dark Cave and possessed the same light-devouring property; therefore, theoretically, it should be impossible to distinguish Gusha by shadows.

However, at this moment, there was indeed one Dark Cave Beast with a shadow underneath it.

Not just that, but the shadow rapidly stretched and diffused, quickly expanding into a circular shadow several meters wide, with jagged edges all around, looking like a ’bristled’ ball.

This familiar shape immediately made Mu You think of something: Shadow Fur Ball!

Its outline was strikingly similar to a Shadow Fur Ball, only dozens of times larger.

After the circular shadow appeared, it opened its ’mouth’ like the little yellow circle in Pac-Man, revealing two rows of serrated teeth, and then closed up, devouring the Dark Cave Beast connected above it.

"Roar!"

At the moment of being devoured, a roar suddenly echoed in the high skies.

The next second, just as the shadow ball’s mouth had just closed, two pitch-black hands forced it open from inside. Then, a dark snake head emerged from the shadow, along with the neck and the body slowly drilling out, seemingly trying to escape the shadow.

However, as the Black Snake tunneled all the way to its tail, the distended shadow snapped shut again, biting firmly onto the tail.

The Black Snake immediately began to twist and struggle violently on the rock face, with many nearby Dark Cave Beasts knocked down by its thrashing, while the rock wall crumbled bit by bit.

But no matter how much the Black Snake struggled, it just couldn’t break free from the shadow ball behind and could only forcibly drag the ball along.

Furthermore, as the Black Snake moved to the boundary illuminated by light, right about to rush into the darkness, the shadow ball behind seemed to get stuck on something, unable to move any further upward and thereby forcibly halting the Black Snake’s escape.

From below, it looked as if a snake’s tail was tied to a heavy iron ball, with the snake trying to drag the ball through a fence. The snake’s body made it through, but the iron ball was caught by the bars, rendering the Black Snake’s struggles futile.

"What’s this..."

Mu You turned to look back to the Medicinal Plant Gatherer, instinctively feeling that all of this was directly related to him.

"Hold this and you’ll understand."

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer seemed to have anticipated Mu You’s question; without further ado, he simply tossed an Archive device over to him.

Mu You subconsciously caught it.

The moment he grasped the metal rod, Mu You instantly felt some scattered memories appear in his mind.

He had never stored his status in the Archive device, but the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had, and Mu You had inherited his memories. With this touch, the memories that the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had magically concealed were suddenly revealed.

Mu You quickly absorbed these memories and then realized that from the beginning, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had detected Gusha’s plan to ’break out of jail.’

Yet, he did not publicize it, for he was seized by a notion of greed: The Medicinal Plant Gatherer realized that this might be a chance to capture Gusha and bring it under his control!

It was well known that Gusha’s true form was overwhelmingly powerful, such that even the God of Order and the God of Chaos, these top-ranking deities, had to bring a group of subordinates to barely put up a fight. The idea of subjugating Gusha was pure folly.

For this reason, no one in history dared to entertain the thought of controlling a Beast of Catastrophe; it was a creature to avoid at all costs.

But now, Gusha was starting to utilize the characteristics of molting, creating an incarnation to escape from prison.
