Chapter 474: Bai Hong and Meatball

But this was merely his thought; as for the current situation, Liang Yu estimated that Bai Hong would not be able to leave.

Aside from a few Black-robed Men who were still alive, all the other Black-robed Men were dead beyond dead.

One could even say that not even their corpses remained, and it was obvious what had happened.

It must have been the thing underground; it seemed to have gained nourishment, as the thing in the ground actually revealed itself.

Below Bai Hong, a sphere was slowly forming on the ground.

Liang Yu focused his gaze and saw that it was a blood-red ball of flesh.

As time passed, the blood-red ball of flesh grew larger and larger, and the nourishment it needed was continuously transported from the ground to the bottom of the sphere.

Bai Hong only glanced at it when it appeared, then surprisingly ignored it, allowing it to grow and develop.

Seeing Bai Hong’s demeanor, Liang Yu would not believe for a thousand or ten thousand reasons that he was unaware.

Liang Yu even suspected that he had intentionally killed those people, letting their blood flow onto the ground, creating the current situation.

Of course, Bai Hong’s goal was also obvious: he couldn’t find himself, nor could he force himself out, so he merely wanted to use this ball of flesh to make himself appear.

And now, a period of time had passed, and the ball of flesh had already initially taken shape.

That enormous, writhing mass of flesh was covered in slimy tentacles and emitted a nauseating smell of blood.

Just as Liang Yu was pondering, the blood-red ball of flesh suddenly trembled violently, and thick tentacles abruptly stretched out from the ball of flesh, seemingly not noticing Liang Yu, and thus surged towards Bai Hong.

Seeing this scene, Bai Hong frowned slightly, surprisingly neither dodging nor evading, allowing the tentacles to entangle him.

But just as the tentacles were about to completely envelop him, a powerful energy suddenly erupted from around Bai Hong, instantly shattering the tentacles.

The ball of flesh seemed enraged; Liang Yu didn’t even see its mouth, yet it could emit a low roar, and more tentacles surged out madly from all directions, surrounding Bai Hong layer by layer.

This time, although Bai Hong did not directly confront the ball of flesh, he also did not stay put and let the opponent attack.

Bai Hong was exceptionally agile, effortlessly moving through the opponent’s attacks, appearing completely unpressured.

Bai Hong dodged left and right, as agile as an ape traversing a forest, each sidestep and every movement precisely approaching the blood-colored ball of flesh.

The blood-colored ball of flesh emitted a strange aura, its surface appearing as if countless wriggling tentacles were constantly growing, exuding a nauseating crimson hue.

Bai Hong, however, was not affected in the slightest, his gaze fixed firmly on the ball of flesh, his figure constantly shifting around the ball of flesh, drawing more and more tentacles to him.

Finally, Bai Hong approached the blood-colored ball of flesh. The moment he reached out to touch the ball of flesh, a powerful force erupted from within the ball of flesh, attempting to send him flying backward.

However, Bai Hong became even more excited at this sight, easily neutralizing the ball of flesh’s power, and at the same time, a palm-sized Black Jade Command Token appeared in his hand.

Bai Hong’s target was precisely that ball of flesh. By this point, how could Liang Yu not understand what the other party intended to do?

He did not feel a trace of threat from that Black Jade Command Token, which was enough to indicate that it was not a lethal item.

So Liang Yu knew that Bai Hong taking out this Black Jade Command Token was not to destroy the ball of flesh.

Then his purpose in doing so could only be one: to control the other party and bring it under his command.

Although he didn’t quite understand Bai Hong’s purpose in doing this, just based on the fact that he and Bai Hong were not allies, even if the other party wanted to take a pill, Liang Yu couldn’t let him have his way.

Bai Hong shouted, raising the Black Jade Command Token and fiercely slashing towards the ball of flesh.

Along with the sword qi that was unleashed, the Black Jade Command Token also flew out.

At this moment, Liang Yu knew he could no longer observe; if he continued to observe, Bai Hong would truly succeed.

Where the command token sliced, an ear-piercing shriek erupted, and a huge gash was cut into the surface of the ball of flesh, with black liquid splashing out.

The command token, on the other hand, was embedded in the other end of the ball of flesh’s wound. Upon contact with the ball of flesh, the entire command token also emitted black qi, which was continuously infused into the interior through the wound where it made contact with the ball of flesh.

However, this ball of flesh seemed to possess tenacious vitality; the wound caused by the command token quickly healed, and now only the command token embedded in the ball of flesh could be seen.

And other areas grew more tentacles, frantically grabbing at that command token.

The ball of flesh seemed to sense the threat the command token posed to it and wanted to pull it out of itself.

But was it that easy to pull out?

If it were, Liang Yu wouldn’t even need to act; he could just continue to watch from the side.

But unfortunately, the moment the ball of flesh’s tentacles touched the Black Jade Command Token, the black qi on the command token directly exploded the tentacles.

At the same time, half of the Black Jade Command Token had already sunk into the ball of flesh.

Liang Yu no longer hesitated, his figure flickered, and he instantly arrived beside the ball of flesh.

Of course, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to directly reach out; the ball of flesh’s tentacles were a lesson for him.

There were many ways to remove that Black Jade Command Token, and Liang Yu decided to use the simplest one: putting this Black Jade Command Token into his backpack.

He wasn’t coveting this item; he was simply very curious. He discovered that the black qi in the command token seemed to be related to the one in his Bronze Lantern.

Seeing Liang Yu appear, Bai Hong sneered.

“You damned rat, you’re finally out!”

“Do you think you can stop me?”

Liang Yu didn’t speak. He could instantly put away the Black Jade Command Token, but in front of others, he still had to put on a show.

In front of Bai Hong, he pretended to make a few hand gestures and seals, then, imitating those TV dramas, he shouted, “Collect!!”

At the same time, he put the Black Jade Command Token into his backpack, timing it perfectly. In Bai Hong’s eyes, it truly seemed that Liang Yu’s inexplicable gestures had taken his command token today.

Although Bai Hong’s plan was ruined, he wasn’t so foolish as to just stare blankly at Liang Yu. The moment the command token disappeared, he accelerated towards Liang Yu.

However, he overlooked the existence of that ball of flesh.

Now free from the command token, it naturally wouldn’t let Bai Hong go, and crucially, Bai Hong’s target was still Liang Yu.

Liang Yu’s position was right next to it, which made the ball of flesh mistakenly believe that Bai Hong’s target was it.

Just as Bai Hong was very close to Liang Yu and the ball of flesh, Bai Hong was suddenly restrained.

At some unknown point, the ball of flesh had grown two arms on each side, which were now tightly clamping Bai Hong.

Discovering this change, Bai Hong’s pupils instantly constricted, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

At the same time, Liang Yu also noticed the changes in the ball of flesh. He immediately ran to the side to hide, continuing to play his minor role.
