Chapter 526: Chapter 540: Can You Eat It?

“Pant, pant.” After hearing Mu Can’s compliments, Piggy started to work even harder.

A moment later, a group of wild boars, both big and small, gathered around.

“Master, these are all my underlings.” Piggy looked at Mu Can as if seeking praise for his accomplishment.

Mu Can looked at the ground covered with wild boars of various sizes and was speechless.

Among the group of wild boars, some were at the Wuwei Realm, the first-level ones were at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and there were even a few at the Void Level.

“Pant, pant.” Piggy seemed to be instructing his underlings about something.

The next second, all the wild boars knelt down before Mu Can.

“Master, they have no home to return to, so why not take them with us?”

Piggy looked at Mu Can with a pleading face. The no-man’s-land had already undergone changes, and he wanted to find a good place for his underlings.

Who says wild boars aren’t intelligent? This is clearly a well-thought-out plan. Not only did he manage to get out himself, but he also considered the future of his underlings.

“Alright, a few more won’t make a difference, but you tell them they can only move around in the area I’ve designated for them, and absolutely must not go elsewhere.”

Mu Can thought it over. After several expansions, his New World seemed quite empty, so a few more wild boars wouldn’t be a big deal. However, he had to set clear limits; otherwise, if these Wuwei Realm wild boars started charging around his New World, it would surely become a mess.

“Pant, pant.” Piggy strenuously conveyed Mu Can’s message.

The wild boars collectively proposed a master-servant contract to Mu Can.

“Are you planning to burden me with your entire family?” Mu Can looked at Piggy; this was tantamount to staking their entire lives on him.

Who says wild boars aren’t smart? Who says they’re foolishly cute? This is practically like making an investment, all of it placed on Mu Can.

“Hehe, Master, since you’ve already taken me in, why not accept them as well?” Piggy looked at Mu Can with a fawning face.

His eagerness stemmed from this very reason. This was his tribe. Without him, they might not be able to survive in the no-man’s-land. Now that they had a better place to go, he was genuinely tempted.

After all, he had already sold his soul to Mu Can, so securing some welfare for his family and underlings was not a big deal.

“Fine, fine, if anyone dares to cause trouble after going in, they’ll be caught and turned into meat.” Mu Can glanced at Piggy, waved his hand, and collected all the big and small wild boars into his New World.

He even specifically marked out an area for the group of wild boars. Thus, they began living in the New World and surprisingly became a new emerging force.

“Now you’re satisfied, aren’t you? I find that you, Piggy, are not as silly as you look.” Mu Can said to Piggy with a speechless expression.

“Huff, huff, Master, let’s go to that forbidden place.” Piggy changed the subject without saying a word.

“Fine, I can’t be bothered to argue with you.” Hu Bing didn’t say much else. Piggy hadn’t done anything wrong, after all; he was just looking for a way to survive for his own tribe.

It was no different from what Hu Bing was doing. All of his actions were aimed at finding a way for the Three Realms to survive the catastrophe in the no-man’s-land.

“This is the place.” Piggy panting heavily, arrived in front of a cave entrance, which was covered by dense vegetation. If one weren’t observing carefully, it would be impossible to detect a cavern here.

“I originally wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain; I didn’t expect to stumble upon this cave and be unable to enter it.” Piggy explained as he looked at the cave entrance.

He hadn’t discovered this cave until one rainy day when he attempted to lead a group of wild boars to a place to take shelter and found this cave.

“The array outside is quite clever.” Wang Cai took out the Qiankun Compass and cautiously approached to inspect it.

“Can you break through?” Upon hearing that the array was sophisticated, Mu Can knew that it must be the doing of forces hidden in the no-man’s-land.

“We can try, but we have to be ready. Who knows, a big one might pop out.” Mu Can and Wang Cai were now prepared to handle an All Things Realm.

But according to Piggy’s description, there must be more than one All Things Realm inside.

“Don’t worry; I’m all prepared.” Mu Can chuckled. If he weren’t ready, he wouldn’t dare come here to investigate.

“You just need to prepare the Transmission Array to leave this place.” Mu Can carefully took out an elixir the size of a fist.

“What’s this?” Wang Cai asked curiously. He was unaware that Mu Can had such a thing, wondering what use this elixir could have. Was it to poison the opposition?

“Thisthing is really powerful. It’s an elixir I made with Origin Power, but it’s not for eating.” Mu Can introduced it with a proud look.

Turns out, this was inspired by the Mad Old Demon; he used the origin power from within his New World to create a bomb directly.

“Elixirs not for consumption? Are they for exploding?” Wang Cai sized up the pill, only to find it churning with chaotic energy inside.

“Of course, the violent energy within can blow up someone at the All Things Realm straight into the sky.” Mu Can had once tested the explosive power, which made him tremble.

However, he only had two such bombs in his possession, having used one for the test, leaving one remaining.

“This is a great item, how did you come up with it?” Wang Cai looked pleased, with this thing, they could certainly injure someone at the All Things Realm if caught off-guard.

“I just wanted to do an experiment, and I didn’t expect to end up with these two things. Scared me out of my wits at the time.”

Mu Can looked at the elixir in hand; this was no toy. If it wasn’t placed correctly, it could explode. The energy inside was also very difficult to maintain a balance.

“Master, can this be eaten?” Piggy asked about the fragrant medicinal scent on the elixir, drooling over it.

“Of course, it can be eaten, Piggy. After we break the seal later, would it be difficult for you to sneak this elixir inside?”

Mu Can gave Piggy a speechless look but still responded to Piggy’s question.

“Really can eat it? Master, I’m not well-read, don’t deceive me.” Piggy, however, remained quite cautious.

“Forget it, I’ll go instead, this pig is definitely unreliable.” Wang Cai glanced at Mu Can, considering as a Spiritual Body, even if he died inside, he could still be reborn in the Reincarnation Pearl. Better not to let Piggy take the risk; if the pig got hot-headed and ate the elixir, it would be fine if Piggy died, but if it held up the plan, it would be troublesome.

“I’ll go in with you, hehe, don’t forget I can also transform!” Mu Can chuckled, revealing another Mu Can next to him.

It was another body he had created for himself in the New World.

“Eh? Why are there two masters?” Piggy was confused to see another Mu Can appearing next to the original and scratched his head in question.

“Shut up.” Both Mu Can and Wang Cai scolded at the same time, it seemed this Piggy was truly foolish.

Scolded, Piggy walked to one side without further comment.

“My avatar will go with you to investigate, while my main body stays here at the Transmission Array. If anything goes wrong, I’ll transmit away immediately.” Mu Can and Wang Cai were discussing their plan on the side—it was foolproof.

With the plan ready, Wang Cai was instantly full of vigor and quickly prepared the Transmission Array for Mu Can, leading the avatar directly to the cave entrance.

“Let’s see what the situation is once we get in, if not, just blow these bastards sky high.” Mu Can said to Wang Cai in a grave tone.

He had long known that this desolate area hid various secret forces but had never seen them. If it wasn’t for subduing Piggy this time, he wouldn’t have found this place at all.

Wang Cai nodded, they’d first investigate. If things went south, they’d blow those bastards up with the bomb.

After all, he was a Spiritual Body and could be reborn in the Reincarnation Pearl, while Mu Can would only lose a shred of Soul Power. It was definitely worth it.

The Array at the cave entrance was stealthily broken by Wang Cai. In this Supreme Interface, speaking of Arrays, Wang Cai might admire the Sky-Stealing Daoist alone. As for others, Wang Cai didn’t take them seriously, especially with the Qiankun Compass in hand—no Array was unbreakable.

“Master, I want to go in too.” Piggy snorted beside Mu Can’s main body; he was still thinking about that elixir.

“Just stay put. If things go bad later, quickly follow me through the Transmission Array. Don’t blame me if you’re late and I don’t take you along.” Mu Can glanced at Piggy; he himself didn’t dare to send his main body, only using a Spiritual Power Avatar to go in. This Piggy really didn’t care about his life, all for the sake of eating.

Mu Can’s main body lurked on the outside, his full attention on the avatar.

The cave was eerily quiet, as if no one was inside at all, not even a shadow of a Guard.

Mu Can and Wang Cai stealthily explored deeper into the cave, both looking puzzled.

“Why isn’t there a single person here?” Mu Can whispered, it wasn’t supposed to be like this according to Piggy.

“This should be a base,” Wang Cai spoke softly. As for whether there were people inside, they’d have to walk further in.

With numerous passages, the area inside was much larger than anticipated; the two of them couldn’t tell the directions at all, wandering aimlessly until they got lost.

“What kind of path are you leading? Aren’t you a dog? Take a sniff.” Mu Can urged Wang Cai to transform into his original form and scent out the right path.

“Sniff what, haven’t you noticed there’s an Array here too, dispersing all traces of scent?”

Wang Cai also looked helpless; two high-level experts at the Wuwei Realm actually got lost within the enemy’s den.

If this got out, who knows how they would be laughed at!
