Li Yunmu had been merciful before. He had given an opportunity to the four of them to come clean, but they had concealed the most important information obtained from the cave, because of which he had almost gotten trapped in there. After they, they only deserved his most cruel side.
He Miao and the others who heard Li Yunmu’s command felt a chill. In their world, dying wasn’t something frightening, but rather the way one died.
If they were thrown into a group of ghost spiders, those creatures wouldn’t eat them right away, but would instead lay down countless eggs within their body.
Those eggs would give birth to countless small ghost spiders in a matter of days. They would move around the host’s body and use their flesh as well as blood as food for their growth. They would nibble on the host’s flesh every second of every day, and the person would stay alive through it all. Their end would only come when the countless small ghost spiders crawled out of their bodies.
Thump.
Fang Ming fell on his knees. He was the person with the weakest willpower among the four, and they had just left the cave without any end, so he was already near mental collapse. So when he heard Li Yunmu’s merciless command, he couldn’t help but kneel on the ground and plead for his life.
I will speak, I will tell everything, all you want to know. I only request that you give me a good death.
Li Yunmu didn’t make any movements but repeated with an indifferent face,
Take all of them away. If any one of their accounts is different, carry out the sentence.
He needed to show some ruthlessness on this matter. And besides, he didn’t need to use any extraordinary measures to deal with the four turncoats in front of him nor did he want to waste extra time on them.
Fang Ming had already broken, so even if the other three gave an unanimous false account, it would be meaningless.
After all, Li Yunmu wasn’t a fair judge who needed proof. He only needed to know what secrets and harvests they had obtained when they had entered the cave the first time.
Finished, everything is finished.
Ya Yan’s face was deathly pale. At that moment, he finally experienced the pain of having pig teammates in his group. His strength was only mediocre in the group with people like Zhang Yuan, Zheng Quan, and Li Yunmu standing at the top, so he had been an inconspicuous existence.
If Fang Ming hadn’t mentally collapsed at that moment and lost his bearings which also influenced the other two members of the squad, Ya Yan might have even made a comeback.
Just a little more and I would’ve been the real winner,
Ya Yan thought to himself. In the end, he hardened his resolve and obediently shared all the secrets from their first trip that he had concealed before. By then, he didn’t have any other thoughts besides wanting a good death.
Li Yunmu also wasn’t a petty person and immediately commanded the shadows to kill the four without torturing them. The proceedings had taught him that even if the land was under his control and even if the enemy’s strength was far lower than his, he couldn’t be careless and give an opportunity to them. Ya Yan and the other three might have been just minor characters, but they had almost made a comeback.
When Li Yunmu matched the confessions of the four, he found that they were almost identical, with only some minor differences.
It showed up that on the third day after entering the cave for the first time, they had discovered a fist-sized pathfinder wasp. It was different from the others since it was emitting traces of black mist from its body and could also mentally communicate with the group. In human words, it had spoken to them.
As long as you can reach the end of the cave, you will be able to reopen the channel to the outside world by using the method which I will tell you now…
When Ya Yan and the others heard it, they were extremely excited. But because Li Yunmu hadn’t provided them with enough food and water that time, they couldn’t continue for long and soon had to turn around.
Thus, although they wished to escape from the island, they were helpless in front of their circumstances and could only return back. But they hadn’t expected that the opportunity they had been waiting for would appear in no time once more. Before long, Li Yunmu had surprisingly asked them to enter the cave once more, and he even urged them to go farther. He also provided them with a large amount of food and water.
But more often than not, reality is different from imagination. Ya Yan and the other three hadn’t expected that even after walking for more than ten days, they still wouldn’t be able to read the end, which caused suspicion to take root in their hearts and ruin their plan in a while.
So the pathfinder wasp I released before had been possessed by the will of the master of the cave?
After hearing their account, Li Yunmu felt a chill go down his spine.
From their words, one thing became certain to him, and it was that a sinister will existed in the depths of this cave. It had probably belonged to the master of the cave, but that raised a lot of questions.
The will had first possessed the body of pathfinder wasp then tried to entice Ya Yan and the others to reach the bottom of the cave, but could it really open the passage to the outside world as it claimed? If not, then what was the objective of that will luring people to the depths of the cave?
But Li Yunmu didn’t believe that it could open the passage to the outside world. On top of that, there was another unanswered question—why hadn’t that will tried to posses Li Yunmu who was the true master of the island?
[The reason is quite simple, because host possesses the protection of Goddess Medusa’s will. The will in the cave should be in a greatly weakened state, so it didn’t dare to have any designs on host,] the system replied.
Li Yunmu immediately understood its words. His strength was extremely profound, and he possessed his own heavenly world as well as Azure Dragon Deity Battle Suit. His shadow Li Yun was the successor of the island, and there was still the little shadow ancestor.
It hadn’t appeared since it had entered Goddess Medusa’s scale which was in his heavenly world.
Then that malicious will needs to be worried about us and not the other way round?
