Chapter 296 Grasp

“Stop hitting, stop hitting!? Isn’t it enough that I admit I was wrong?”? After taking a few bamboo sticks from David, Emlyn finally compromised.? He didn’t expect this guy to be so unreasonable, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing Emlyn give in, David smiled faintly and put away the bamboo sticks.? “Rest assured, I won’t let you waste time here.? You should rely on the aura to disperse the infant’s body, right?”

From the moment Emlyn appeared, David sensed a strong aura emanating from him.? Coupled with the fact that he was brought out by Clive from the Abyss Cemetery, David believed that he must have some connection to the aura of the zombie creatures.

Upon hearing David’s words, Emlyn’s face froze, showing an expression of disbelief.? Just as David had said, ever since Clive resurrected him, he had to rely on some aura and vitality from zombie creatures to sustain himself and achieve transformation.? Looking at David, he felt that the person before him was completely different from the one he had first met. .

In fact, when David first entered the Abyss Cemetery with Fatso, Emlyn sensed his presence in the grave.? However, at that time, David’s level wasn’t as high as it is now, so his presence wasn’t as intense.

But what Emlyn didn’t expect was that in just this short period of time, David’s level and strength had greatly increased, and in a mere moment, he had seen through Emlyn’s secret.

Seeing Emlyn’s astonished expression, David smiled faintly and continued, “I have over a hundred evil ghost here, with a vast aura.? It’s definitely the best nourishment for you.”

Upon hearing this, Emlyn’s face immediately lit up with delight, and he quickly asked, “You mean those evil ghost from earlier in the valley?”

David nodded.? This piqued Emlyn’s interest;? when David released those evil ghost earlier, Emlyn had felt an especially thick aura, igniting his excitement.? Clearly, the aura produced by these evil ghost gathering together was indeed, as David said, excellent nourishment for him.? With this aura, the days of shedding his infant body were within reach, and he could even use it to cultivate a powerful physique.

Thinking of this, a glint of desire appeared in Emlyn’s eyes.? David noticed all of his expressions and continued, “Just call me ‘Master,’ and I’ll hand control of these evil ghost over to you.? If you think you can’t handle it, you can leave anytime.? After all, people who can manipulate this aura aren’t hard to find, and I don’t need subordinates like you.”

David poured himself a glass of red wine and took a sip while observing Emlyn.? He wanted to see if Emlyn could resist his excitement in the face of such a great temptation.? At the moment, David didn’t have extra time to manage the group of evil ghost within his spear.

Instead of that, it might be better to do a favor.? This way, not only would this group of evil ghost have a leader, but perhaps under Emlyn’s influence, their strength could greatly increase.? For David, this was undoubtedly the best outcome.

Lost in his pleasant daydreams, Emlyn suddenly heard David speak, and he became anxious, “Wait, wait, wait!? Our journey is like a river, meeting is fate!? Starting today, I’m yours!? Master!”

Emlyn was finally under David’s complete control.? He lowered his head, half-kneeling in front of David, and respectfully called out.? At this moment, Emlyn also understood that the master he encountered this time might be an opportunity to change his fate.

David looked at the obedient Emlyn with a faint smile.? He then took out a circular jade pendant, and as his finger touched it, a red light suddenly appeared.? As Emlyn came into contact with this red light, he was immediately drawn into the pendant and disappeared.

After sending Emlyn away, Clive returned to the Abyss Cemetery.? With Emlyn gone, the atmosphere around the Abyss Cemetery became much quieter.? He relaxedly lay back in a bamboo chair, his cloudy eyes closing slightly, revealing an inscrutable expression.

After dealing with the Dark City’s Three Brothers, David led Mandy and Viola southward to find the Dark City.? They needed to seize the opportunity to occupy the Dark City and prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation.

“If only we had kept a couple of them alive, then we’d know the exact location of the Dark City,” Viola regretfully remarked.? The wasteland world was so vast, and their knowledge of the Dark City’s location was limited to the southern region.? But exactly where in the south was unknown.? Searching inch by inch would take an eternity.

Viola looked up at David, appearing bewildered.? However, David seemed unfazed by it, his face displaying ease.

“Don’t worry, I have a way,” he said, taking out the bronze compass from his storage.? Viola looked puzzled at the peculiar compass.

David concentrated, and the pointer inside the bronze compass began to tremble lightly.? Soon, it settled on a specific direction.

“Follow this direction, and we’ll find the Dark City,” David said to Viola, putting away the compass.

Viola was surprised but quickly asked, “But it’s such a long distance.? When will we get there?”? She knew that even if they knew the exact location of the Dark City, it would take at least a few days of travel, if not longer.

David smiled again and sighed, “No big deal.”? Then, with his right hand, he tore open a spatial rift, allowing Mandy to quickly enter it.? He then put his left arm around Viola’s waist.? Feeling herself being held by David, Viola’s heart raced.

The next moment, she felt a gust of wind that roared like thunder in her ears.? When she opened her eyes again, they were no longer in the valley but by the side of a black city.? The characters on the city gate’s sign read “Dark City.”

“So…? we’re already here?”? Viola felt like they had teleported here in the blink of an eye.? She seemed to forget that she was being held by David.? For a moment, she didn’t even take a couple of steps forward.? When she noticed David’s amused expression, she realized something was amiss.

“I…? “? Viola hastily stepped out of David’s embrace, her face as red as a ripe apple.? Her heart pounded like a thousand drums, making it hard to calm down.? David didn’t say anything and headed straight for the gate of the Dark City.
