Chapter 822: Chapter 610: Settling Little Guai
In the chaotic cavern, the Big guy and Da Dou looked at each other.
After a while, the Big guy came to his senses, recalling the scene where he was humbled during the fight with Da Dou.
He immediately showed a fear-stricken expression, wanting to flee. However, at this moment, he recalled the words the Dragon-man youth had whispered to him in his dreams.
“Little one, don’t be afraid.”
“Daddy has already taught that bad red-skinned Giant a lesson.”
“Next, he will obey you. Ask him to make delicious food for you, and if a bad person hits you, let him protect you.”
“Stay well on the current island, and after a while, Daddy will come to pick you up.”
Thinking of this, the Big guy reluctantly calmed down.
Meanwhile, Da Dou’s mind was also in turmoil: “That was definitely the Divine Descent Technique just now.”
Da Dou understood the change that occurred in the Big guy.
Hong Zhu suddenly spoke: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’d better hurry. Although this Earth Element tribe has been defeated, the fierce battle will attract the attention of other tribes.”
This made a lot of sense, so Da Dou, lying on the ground, supported his body with his arm and slowly got up.
After receiving the Fishman youth’s Divine Healing, he had stabilized his injuries, turning from serious to minor wounds.
Standing up, he coughed twice, but it wasn’t like before when he coughed up blood.
His internal injuries, including fractured bones, had been healed.
It could be said that without the Fishman youth’s Divine Healing, Da Dou might have died.
Of course, he had one last means of survival, which was to pray to the gods when nearing death.
But Da Dou himself had no confidence in this, being well aware of how shallow his faith usually was.
“The Magnetic Island is too small, wars frequently break out among Earth Element tribes, battling over territory.”
“We need to leave quickly.”
“M-master,” Da Dou addressed the Big guy.
Hong Zhu’s pupils slightly shrank, and her heart trembled: “It truly is a Slave Contract!”
Although she had witnessed the entire process firsthand, she was still deeply moved.
A Golden Level Giant reduced to a mere slave; this outcome was beyond Hong Zhu’s expectations.
However, upon careful reflection, she found it was all reasonable and natural.
The Big guy in Divine Descent state was indeed incredibly powerful.
It was a kind of unbelievable power!
The Earth Element Clan Leader had no chance to retaliate and was beaten throughout. Hong Zhu also realized: the Big guy in Divine Descent seemed to interfere with the enemy’s perceptions, none of the Earth Element Clan Leader’s attacks hit once.
This is a world of the strong.
Given how powerful the Big guy in Divine Descent was, subduing Da Dou was perfectly natural.
Da Dou extended his right hand to the Big guy.
The Big guy was stunned, not daring to extend his hand.
But at this moment, the encouraging words of the Fishman youth echoed in his ears again.
“Daddy is watching me.” At this thought, courage welled up within the Big guy.
The next moment, he extended his hand.
The hands of two giants clasped together.
With Da Dou exerting force, he pulled the Big guy sitting on the ground up.
“Human Race woman, please lead the way,” Da Dou instructed Hong Zhu.
Hong Zhu quickly nodded.
So, Hong Zhu walked in front, followed by Da Dou and the Big guy.
Looking at the Big guy following behind him, Da Dou felt very conflicted.
He had finally reached a peaceful accord with the Big guy, but never expected it to be under such circumstances—he had become the Big guy’s slave!
White Hair Sea Trench.
The Fishman youth withdrew his attention, scrutinizing himself.
“The divine power inside has almost been exhausted, the consumption of Divine Grace was intense, directly dropping below 2000.”
But the battle results were outstanding!
The Fishman youth used many Divine Arts, acting as a hidden manipulator, cleverly exploiting the conflicts among the enemies. Eventually, he eradicated a Golden Level Earth Element Clan Leader and also subdued a Golden Level giant Magic Chef.
“As a god-agent, I consumed my own reserves of divine power and Divine Grace while performing these Divine Arts.”
“Luckily, the enemies mutually consumed a great deal, otherwise relying solely on my own strength to assist the Big guy in escaping was easy, but achieving such results would have been nearly impossible.”
“However, the enormous consumption of divine power and Divine Grace might also be related to Little one’s faith. He is not a Mei Lan believer but my personal fanatic.”
The Big guy’s body did not receive divine power irrigation or ongoing transformative enhancement.
Naturally, the divine power consumed was much greater.
“Switching to my own body would undoubtedly save a considerable amount of divine power and Divine Grace.”
This battle offered the Fishman youth a great deal of harvest.
First, he experimented with advanced Divine Arts and gained valuable practical experience.
Second, he preserved the life of the Big guy.
Third, he tested his own combat strength at the moment. As a Golden Level god-agent, he could remotely control combat at vast distances. Relying on advanced Divine Arts (most importantly the Deception and Disguise Skill), the Fishman youth could easily defeat the elite among the Gold Level. But it also exposed his weaknesses. For example, excessive consumption, inability for prolonged battle. Also, achieving such combat requires prerequisites like believers.
Fourth, he enslaved a Golden Level Giant!
Keeping Da Dou’s life was the result of careful consideration by the Fishman youth, not an impulsive decision at the time.
He mainly considered three aspects.
On one hand, Da Dou’s performance in battle was genuinely life-risking to protect the Big Guy. This moved the Fishman youth.
On the other hand, Da Dou’s origins also made the Fishman youth cautious. He hails from Fire Island, a Legendary level power. It’s best not to make an enemy of them.
Thirdly, the Fishman youth fully considered the current situation.
Previously, he always thought the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had a great situation. But from the Big Guy’s memories, the Fishman youth realized he was too optimistic.
The branch of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was attacked, and the assassination of “Zong Ge” by a Golden Level assassin showed the dire situation of Zi Di and Zong Ge.
This time, by rescuing the Big Guy, the Fishman youth didn’t want him to immediately return to Snowbird Port. It wasn’t safe there, danger lurked everywhere.
The Fishman youth was well aware: although the Big Guy’s life level had advanced rapidly and the Giant’s physique was quite impressive, the Big Guy could not protect himself well. If he encountered assassination attempts or poisoning, he could easily be taken out.
The Big Guy has at least the potential of the Holy Domain level. His performance in the Gluttony Duel exposed part of his aptitude. Da Dou’s direct attempt to snatch him wouldn’t go unnoticed by others!
In such a situation, letting the Big Guy return to Snowbird Port might lead to him being taken by someone else!
“This time, I tried the Divine Arts Believer Perception and unexpectedly acquired information regarding the Big Guy. There may not be such good luck next time.”
Considering all this, the Fishman youth thought it was quite good to let Da Dou continue taking care of the Big Guy and let them stay temporarily at Magnetic Island.
On one hand, the Big Guy can shake off the lurking black hands coveting his aptitude; on the other, it can prevent the enemy from acting maliciously for the time being; thirdly, the environment of Magnetic Island is more conducive to the Big Guy’s growth.
The Big Guy was starving at the branch.
Here, Da Dou is a Golden Level Magic Chef, able to make the most suitable food for the Big Guy. This is not something the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps could provide.
To be precise, after compressing the food, Da Dou downgrades from Golden Level to Silver Level to nourish the Big Guy. This is a luxurious treatment even the City Lord of Snowbird Port doesn’t have!
“The Slave Contract can ensure Da Dou’s obedience.”
“Even if Da Dou breaks free from the contract, he wouldn’t harm Little Guy.”
“Moreover, Little Guy’s complete trust and obedience to me allow me to use Believer Perception Divine Arts to sense him at any time. If anything unexpected happens, I can respond accordingly.”
After full consideration, the Fishman youth felt that handling it this way was the best solution at present.
“In this way, there’s no need for Dao Hen to rush over.”
Originally wanted, to rescue. To follow, prepare to rescue when the opportunity arises.
The Fishman youth previously influenced Dao Hen, mainly for the Big Guy.
Unexpectedly, an opportunity arose when the Earth Element Clan Leader and Da Dou engaged in fierce battle, providing a great opportunity for the Fishman youth. Ultimately, the Fishman youth gained benefits like a fisherman, successfully forming a Slave Contract with a severely injured and dying Da Dou.
The Big Guy’s crisis has already been averted.
Dao Hen, being of Silver Level, is inconsequential whether he comes here or not.
“Instead, it seems more appropriate for him to remain on the Empire warship.”
The Fishman youth placed great importance on Tan Mo and others.
The Blood Light Sanction Court and the Empire’s investigation team are subjects he cannot overlook.
He also worried about Cang Xu being exposed.
The battle at Twin Eyes Island exposed Cang Xu’s identity as an Undead Mage and his strong connection with the Purple Vine Chamber of Commerce, which was equally disadvantageous to the Chamber.
Letting Dao Hen stay on Tan Mo’s ship, utilizing Deception and Disguise Skills, and so on, to obtain first-hand intelligence and probe into the real-time movements of the Empire’s investigation team and the Blood Light Sanction Court.
This would only benefit the Dragon-man youth and the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.
Thus, the Fishman youth turned his attention back to Dao Hen.
He found that Dao Hen hadn’t left Treasure Chest yet.
Treasure Chest employed unique advanced spatial alchemy techniques, layer upon layer of space with countless similar cabins and passages, resembling a labyrinth.
It was normal for Dao Hen to be unable to find a way out.
The Fishman youth restrained the urge to immediately guide Dao Hen. He waited until Dao Hen couldn’t endure it, feeling anxious, repeatedly praying several times before using Divine Arts to provide the correct guidance.
Dao Hen, following the guidance, passed through nineteen layers of space before finally arriving on the deck of Treasure Chest.
Looking at the vast sky above and the open sea, he felt thrilled.
Just as he was about to jump down, he received an oracle from the Fishman youth, instructing him to return to the cabin to carry out surveillance and reconnaissance duties.
Dao Hen’s expression froze in shock, quickly complying and turning back into the cabin.
The Fishman youth had previously instructed him to leave the ship, and Dao Hen had failed.
The Fishman youth didn’t rescind the previous order, but helped Dao Hen successfully exit Treasure Chest. After letting him have a glimpse of the sky and sea, he instructed Dao Hen to return.
This wasn’t an arbitrary change of orders; for Dao Hen, it felt like: the previous command was a test from the Gods. Meanwhile, the true intentions of the Gods are inscrutable!
After Da Dou and others left, indeed, other Earth Element tribes visited the battlefield.
Eventually, they arrived at the sacrificial cave.
“Here is the main battlefield!”
“Two Golden Level, no, three Golden Level fought to the death here. In the end, our old adversary perished.”
“It’s truly humiliating—honorable Earth Elements, to let outsiders overrun their very home.”
The heads of several Earth Element tribes gathered together, the atmosphere tense, each wanting to carve up the territory before them.
But the next moment, the idol of the Earth Element Main God suddenly radiated brilliance.
Subsequently, an unparalleled divine power enveloped the entire area, prompting every Earth Element Body to prostrate themselves immediately.
Half a minute later, the idol’s brilliance dissipated completely.
The Earth Element Bodies all stood up, their expressions excited.
“The Main God has delivered an oracle!”
“Find that Giant and eliminate him!!”
“No, capture him alive. He would certainly be the best offering to the Great Main God.”
