Chapter 982: Chapter 978: No Need to Be So Formal Among Us

Underground in this space, everyone was now looking at Er Dan with astonishment. Clearly, Er Dan could speak, and this was an unexpected surprise for them.

Er Dan was also startled by the burping sound it made just now. Since it became conscious, it had never known what the feeling of being full was like.

This time, it clearly felt that after being full, its strength was on a completely different level from before.

If it wasn’t mistaken, it could break out of its shell in at most fifty years now.

The sound from the monster inside the jar had already vanished.

The black mist seeping from the jar’s cracks also stopped emerging after Er Dan belched and ceased devouring.

Xuan Chu glanced at Dragon Spirit, his tone somewhat puzzled: "Could the monster inside the jar have been completely swallowed by Er Dan?"

If that’s the case, then Er Dan’s role might be even more powerful than he imagined.

Dragon Spirit replied irritably, "If you want to know, why don’t you go take a look yourself!"

Anyway, with Er Dan now present, their dread of the monster inside the jar wasn’t as deep as before.

Whether Er Dan was full or not was not within their range of consideration.

If the monster in the jar was lying in wait, pretending to be dead, just ready to attack when they checked.

Then, they’d throw Er Dan over again!

A well-fed Er Dan didn’t realize that after showcasing its usefulness, its future awaited more oppressive demands.

"Alright, I’ll go and take a look!"

Around the jar, the black-soiled dirt had been cleared away.

Mo Zhi emerged from Jade again; earlier she hid directly and now felt a bit embarrassed.

Hence, she quickly came out to make amends.

Luckily, neither Xuan Chu nor Dragon Spirit seemed to pay much attention to Mo Zhi’s cowardice.

As long as Mo Zhi didn’t stab them in the back midway, nothing else mattered.

Seeing Xuan Chu go examine the jar, Mo Zhi directly lit up her Merit Golden Light around her body as a light source.

This allowed Xuan Chu to see the patterns around the jar more clearly.

Looking at them, Xuan Chu’s eyes became strange; he seemed fully immersed in those patterns.

Mo Zhi had been watching from nearby and noticed something off about Xuan Chu afterward.

She directly reached out and pushed Xuan Chu: "Xuan Chu, what’s wrong with you?"

Mo Zhi’s voice made Dragon Spirit, sitting on the ground, sense something amiss too; he immediately stood up and walked toward Xuan Chu.

Dragon Spirit grabbed Xuan Chu and saw a hint of strange emptiness in Xuan Chu’s eyes.

Almost instantly, Dragon Spirit struck Xuan Chu’s spine with his palm.

His tone was extremely angry: "You sly thing, how dare you silently try to seize the body, courting death!"

No one had expected that while Xuan Chu was examining the patterns around the jar, the monster lurking inside would seize the chance to try body seizing.

"Pfft!"

Xuan Chu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning instantly pale.

Though he looked somewhat miserable, thankfully, Xuan Chu’s expression returned to normal.

At the same moment, a blob of black sphere was knocked out of Xuan Chu’s body.

Originally floating mid-air and in the process of digesting, Er Dan suddenly shone golden and crashed directly into the black sphere.

In an instant, tremors ensued throughout the underground space.

If it weren’t for Mo Zhi including this place in her Ghost Realm, it might have collapsed already.

However, the collision between Er Dan and the black sphere was indeed quite powerful.

The Ghost Realm was still subjected to some tremors, making Mo Zhi’s semi-solidified body become somewhat distorted, taking quite a while to normalize.

Once the shaking stopped, Er Dan’s size expanded by another notch.

The previously extremely hard large jar also shattered into pieces with a ’crack’ sound.

Xuan Chu:...

Dragon Spirit:...

So, this jar wasn’t something formidable from start to finish; its hardness before was due to the monster inside.

When the monster completely vanished, the jar lost its supporting force and shattered directly.

Probably no one expected this crisis to come swiftly and go just as swiftly.

Dragon Spirit glanced at the somewhat pale-faced Xuan Chu: "How are you?"

If it were others, they might not understand what it’s like to be seized.

But Dragon Spirit knew it clearly; when he seized the Hall Master of Gu God Hall, he understood very well what punishment the other party suffered.

Xuan Chu wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled at Dragon Spirit: "I’m fine, thanks to you earlier, I didn’t expect I’d get ambushed."

It indeed wasn’t entirely Xuan Chu’s fault for carelessness.

Who would’ve thought the monster in the jar would contemplate body seizing and seize him while he examined the patterns.

But his body was protected by Heavenly Dao Restriction, capable of dying physically or spiritually.

Even if someone seized his body, with the Heavenly Dao Restriction present, the seized body would be unusable.

It might even become a container that confines the body seizing individual.

Dragon Spirit’s palm saved him.

Listening to Xuan Chu’s honest tone, Dragon Spirit waved his hand indifferently: "We’re on the same side, saying this would be too formal."

Xuan Chu grasped some medicine for healing, ate a few, and the pain in his body reduced significantly.

Having already consumed plenty, after swallowing the monster’s essence again, Er Dan directly fell into slumber.

A halo barrier appeared around the egg.

"What’s happening with Er Dan?"

Dragon Spirit approached to inspect, confirming the creature inside the shell was still alive.

Only then did he say: "Probably excess energy requiring digestion time, just like other Dark Masters needing closed cultivation."

Saying this, Dragon Spirit reached out, attempting to store Er Dan.

Unexpectedly, as his hand touched the halo around Er Dan, it was as if it was burned by something.

"Tss!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Dragon Spirit looked at his slightly reddened hand.

His eyes revealed a hint of disbelief.

He hadn’t anticipated Er Dan’s protective mechanism was so strong, that it could scald his scaly-covered hand.

This was even when Er Dan held no malice against him; if someone else dared to reach out and touch.

They’d likely be burnt into ashes immediately.

Little Paperman glanced at Dragon Spirit’s hand, then at Er Dan, curious as well.

It approached the halo protecting Er Dan, but the searing sensation halted Little Paperman’s movement.
