Chapter 570 Inheritance (33)

The snitch didn't stop with just a few puppets, it kept flying around the room and spraying its golden powder all over the puppets in this cave.

But the puppets weren't just standing still for the snitch to drop its golden powder on them.

After a moment of shock, the Control Toad reacted and immediately made the puppets avoid the golden powder.

It was just that the puppets moved too slow compared to the snitch and not all of the puppets were able to avoid the golden powder. There were many of them that suddenly dropped after the golden powder fell onto them.

The ones that did get out of the way huddled against the walls to avoid the golden powder that remained in the air.

The Control Toad realized that it was in a very bad position now.

This cave would have given it the advantage since all of its puppets were gathered around and could protect it. However, that was on the condition that nothing could be done to its puppets.

If the enemy had some way to release the puppets under its control, then it wouldn't work since the Control Toad didn't have any offensive capabilities on its own.

Life was fair, so the Control Toad had its pros and cons.

It had the powerful ability to control other creatures with its worms, but that meant that it didn't have the ability to fight on its own. It could only rely on the creatures that it controlled to attack other beings.

So now that it was losing more and more puppets, it was being put in a more and more dangerous situation.

The Control Toad needed to do something to stem the bleeding..

Taking a deep breath, the Control Toad suddenly opened its mouth and released a bunch of black worms.

These black worms split in half, heading in two different directions.

Half of them were going for the unconscious spirit beasts that had been released from the Control Toad's control by the snitch. They were planning to put these spirit beasts under their control again.

The other half were charging at the snitch, trying to see if they could suppress it with numbers.

While they weren't able to do anything to the snitch through the puppets, the Control Toad didn't know if the Control Worm would be able to do anything to this unknown enemy.

In short, it was taking a gamble.

It was just too bad that this gamble didn't pay off in the end.

It was just too bad that the snitch had the perfect counter to this wave of Control Worms.

It was more of the same golden powder.

Seeing the Control Worms coming at it, the snitch suddenly spun around and released the golden powder all around itself. There was no blind spot for this spray of golden powder as it hit all of the black worms that were coming at it.

As soon as the golden powder hit the Control Worms, they immediately burst like balloons.

They sprayed their black liquid all over the place as they burst, causing a mess all around the snitch. However, there wasn't a single black worm that was able to reach the snitch as it just floated there.

But the fact that there was all of this black liquid around the snitch created another problem.

The disciple had said that after a large amount of this black liquid was released, there was something in the air that started affecting them. It was some kind of gas that had weakened them.

And now..there was a bunch of this black liquid around the snitch.

After all of the black worms exploded, there was a faint black smoke that appeared in the air around the snitch.

But in the first place, was the snitch affected by something like this?

Did the snitch even have to breathe?

No, it didn't matter in the end since the snitch just released another spray of golden powder that fell onto the black liquid. As soon as the golden powder fell onto the black liquid, there was some kind of reaction that caused the black liquid to disappear.

It didn't create any smoke, it just disappeared into thin air.

It was almost as if it was being purified by the golden powder.

The snitch didn't remain still during this time since it could see that the worms were heading towards the ones that it had already released from the control of the Control Toad.

Since it had already released them from its control, it naturally wouldn't allow these worms to put them back under the Control Toad.

So it flew with incredible speed to come in between these black worms and the unconscious spirit beasts.

When the Control Toad saw this, it knew that it wouldn't be able to do anything to these unconscious spirit beasts. Instead, it tried to call its black worms back to it, in an attempt to save them.

It was just too bad that the snitch wouldn't allow that.

With another spin, there was a spray of golden powder that fell onto these black worms and they all popped like balloons.

There were only a few that had gotten away and returned to the Control Toad, but most of them had been turned into a black liquid that was quickly purified by the snitch with another spray of golden powder.

It seemed that the Control Toad wouldn't be able to do anything to this snitch.

That was until it suddenly realized something.

The puppets that were still under its control stopped running away and turned to face the snitch. They all started gathering their spiritual energy as if they were about to attack.

And that was because they were preparing to attack.

In its panic, the Control Toad completely forgot about this.

It had faced an enemy that it had never faced before and completely forgot about its own powers.

Just because the enemy could release its puppets from its control, that didn't mean that it wasn't able to fight back at all. It seemed that there was a range to how far the snitch could release the golden powder, so all it had to do was keep the puppets out of that range.

Unlike the snitch, these puppets could attack from afar, so it would be able to keep the snitch away like this while also slowly wearing it down with attacks.

The Control Toad couldn't help feeling regret since if it had calmed down from the beginning, it would have been able to save more of its puppets and Control Worms.

Well, it didn't care that much about the puppets since it could just get more in the future.

What hurt the Control Toad more was the fact that it had lost all those Control Worms.

The Control Worms were bred inside of the Control Toad, so it took time to replenish its supply of Control Worms. The amount that it had just released was more than half of all the Control Worms that it had.

To replenish this supply..it would take the Control Toad some time.

This hurt it more than anything else.

But now that it had thought of a way to take down the snitch, it wouldn't hold back at all.

It would vent the anger that it had been forced to swallow on this snitch now.

The spirit beasts had finished gathering their spiritual energy and were about to shoot their attacks.

The snitch could naturally see this and sense it, so it was planning on dodging out of the way.

But before it could do anything, there was a wall of water that suddenly appeared in front of it.

This wall of water completely blocked the snitch off from the attacks of the spirit beasts.

All of their attacks slammed into the wall of water, but they weren't able to make a single hole in it. It didn't even seem to disturb the wall of water as all that happened was that a few ripples appeared in this wall of water.

Everyone that had been in the cave was shocked and confused by this as they didn't know where this wall of water had come from.

Lin Fan suddenly appeared beside the snitch and said, "You should have told me that you could have dispelled its control. If you told me, I would have worked with you from the beginning."

The snitch just floated back and forth, almost as if it was trying to say that it didn't know what to say.

But then again, it couldn't talk in the first place, so it was hard for it to communicate with Lin Fan in the first place.

Lin Fan didn't hold it against the snitch and just said, "We'll work together now. I'll block the attacks and get you close and you dispel its control over them, alright?"

The snitch floated up and down as if it was agreeing to what he said.

But Lin Fan had something else to add, "I need you to dispel the control over some of my people first. Can you guarantee that they will be alright?"

The snitch didn't move as if it was hesitating..but then it moved back and forth, like it was shaking its head.

Lin Fan just gave a sigh before saying, "Alright, just do your best." historical

The snitch moved up and down as if it was nodding.

The Control Toad had been silently observing, but seeing these two act as if it wasn't here, it couldn't help feeling hurt.

With a croak from it, the spirit beasts started charging up their attacks again.
