The Most Generous Master Ever Novel - Chapter 1085
Chapter 1085 Friend?
Under the oppressive atmosphere, the entire swamp fell into a dead silence. Here, wails rang out for thousands of miles, and undead spirits floated! Death energy covered the entire swamp, and killing intent appeared under the dark fog.
However, no one dared to approach this altar, let alone those undead. They were afraid, terrified, as there was an ancient giant buried under this altar.
Master Crocodile! He was once an Emperor from the Abyss of the Undead, a ruthless person who dared to fight the darkness head-on at the end of the Immortal Ancient. Back then, when he barged into the uninhabited region, he was a peerless expert who explored the ominous forbidden area alone and could retreat unscathed.
It could make people tremble just by hearing his name. During the Immortal Ancient Calamity, he had once fought a True Lord with an unknown origin and reduced more than half of the Ancient Immortal Realm to ruins. To this day, there were still ruins of the battlefield after his battle in the Immortal Ancient Ruins.
This was all the information Ye Qiu had learned about Master Crocodile. It was also the only information the veteran of the Netherworld told Ye Qiu. However, the veteran did not introduce Master Crocodile’s identity in detail, his entire experience, or even his friendship with Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu. He only told Ye Qiu to look for Master Crocodile. Any risk would be resolved.
Ye Qiu came with his trust in the veteran. The moment he heard the name Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, Master Crocodile fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. He seemed to be recalling, searching for clues about this name from the long river of memories.
Too much time had passed and he had forgotten many things. However, he had not forgotten some hatred that was carved into his bones.
Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, Ye Qiu reminded him nervously, “S-Senior, the person who asked me to look for you is a former veteran of my master. He told me that my master, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, had a very close friendship with you in a dark period of time.”
Before he could finish speaking, Master Crocodile suddenly opened his rotten eyes and looked at Ye Qiu coldly. “A close friend? Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu? I… seem to remember.”
After a moment of silence, a shocking pressure instantly pressed down on Ye Qiu. At that moment, Ye Qiu felt his body enduring thousands of degrees of gravity. He almost knelt down and couldn’t get up.
“Pfft,” Ye Qiu couldn’t withstand a gaze from an Immortal Emperor. The powerful pressure made it difficult for him to breathe. “Phew, is this an Immortal Emperor?”
Ye Qiu had lingering fears after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he had an immortal body. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t dare to come to such a godforsaken place to see this so-called Master Crocodile.
“Kid! You’re very bold. You dare to enter this Forbidden Area of Life alone to look for me and even reported Zhen Wu’s name. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”
Ye Qiu’s face darkened. An ominous feeling flashed across her heart. He could clearly feel that the cold killing intent in Master Crocodile’s tone was continuing to spread. At this moment, he could not move around. “I don’t understand what you mean. Aren’t you… my master’s close friend?”
Master Crocodile, who had been sealed for many years, revealed a teasing smile. He said in a teasing tone, “I really don’t know what motives the person you mentioned has for asking you to find me. Close friend? Haha, laughable!
“Shameless thief, that Zhen Wu is! I wish I could skin him alive. I’ve always remembered the sword he stabbed me with back then. I dream every day about how to return it. Kid! You’re quite bold. Since you call yourself Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu’s disciple, that’s good too. If I can’t find that old kid to take revenge, then I’ll start with you and wash my humiliation with blood.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu’s face turned pale. Damn! I’ve been tricked? This guy was not a friend of Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, but an enemy. Damn it, that old fellow lied to me? It was difficult to guard against traitors.
Ye Qiu suddenly woke up. No wonder when he contacted that veteran previously, he felt that there was a faint malicious smile on his skull. So he was plotting against Ye Qiu. But why would he do that?
Ye Qiu didn’t have time to think. Seeing that Master Crocodile was about to attack, Ye Qiu hurriedly shouted, “Senior, wait…”
“Oh? Do you have any last words?” Master Crocodile looked at Ye Qiu coldly.
Ye Qiu was so nervous that his voice was trembling. Damn it, he had been deceived! What should I do, what should I do? He suddenly thought of something and said, “Senior, a peerless Immortal Emperor like you definitely won’t make things difficult for a junior like me, right? Senior, if you don’t make things difficult for me and are willing to help me survive this calamity, I’m willing to tell you my master’s location.”
“Hmm?” This time, it was Master Crocodile’s turn to be dumbfounded. What kind of great disciple was this? His brain, which had not been used for tens of thousands of years, suddenly stopped working at this time.
What kind of show was this? Originally, Master Crocodile only wanted to tease this kid. After all, he had been sealed here for so many years and no living being dared to approach for a million miles. It wasn’t easy for him to have someone to talk to, and so, he was quite happy. But Ye Qiu’s actions stunned him.
Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his killing intent had been restrained. “Phew… Looks like there’s still room for negotiation. I’ve temporarily resolved this damn dead end.”
Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t feel guilty at all about betraying Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu’s address. After all, he was also a victim. Before he died, he could only sacrifice his master. If possible, he wanted to tell Master Crocodile the address of the veteran from the Netherworld.
There was always someone to blame. Moreover, Ye Qiu knew very well that even if he told Master Crocodile the exact location of Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. At most, they would be on par with each other. No one could do anything to each other.
“Haha, interesting! Kid, I didn’t expect you to be a very filial child. Very good, I think highly of you.” Master Crocodile smiled and retracted his killing intent. After teasing him, he continued, “Speaking of which, I don’t have much of a grudge with your master. In fact, we even fought side by side in a certain dark period of time.
“But when I was young, I was repeatedly tricked by this little thief. My reputation was ruined and I almost had a bad reputation for ten thousand years. If I don’t take revenge, it will be difficult for me to resolve the knot in my heart.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately understood! He had fallen for it again. He sweated in his heart. Why did these old monsters like to tease people so much?
“Alright! Back to the topic. Tell me, why did you risk your life to find me?” After teasing him, Master Crocodile quickly returned to his cold state.
Ye Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he explained, “I came this time to beg you to save my life.”
“Hmm?” Master Crocodile was stunned for a moment before looking at Ye Qiu suspiciously. His eyes seemed to have a magical power. In an instant, he seemed to have seen everything Ye Qiu had experienced. “Ominous!”
When he realized the ominous sign on the horizon, Master Crocodile’s emotions clearly fluctuated slightly.
