Chapter 573 Inheritance (36)
Lin Fan had already expected this after what the snitch had done earlier.
This snitch had a rash personality of taking action first and worrying about the consequences later.
So even if it had calmed down, it was most likely only an act.
The Control Toad was terrified seeing this golden powder being released by the snitch. At such a range and with how much was released, it would be very hard for it to dodge.
At the same time, with how much powder was released, it would have been very likely that it would have been badly injured.
But before the golden powder could reach the Control Toad, there was a wall of water that appeared between the two of them. That wall of water quickly absorbed all of the golden powder before disappearing without a trace.
The snitch just floated there as if it was shocked.
The Control Toad didn't hesitate to jump out of Lin Fan's hand and jumped over to his shoulder, landing there and watching the snitch carefully.
As it stood there on Lin Fan's shoulder, it looked at Lin Fan with an aggrieved look as if it was blaming Lin Fan for putting it in that dangerous situation in the first place.
But Lin Fan just looked back at it with a look on his face like he was saying, "I protected you, didn't I?"
The Control Toad had no choice but to accept this since it knew that the water wall that had been summoned to protect it came from Lin Fan. It had seen Lin Fan using this water wall earlier, so it knew that it was indeed something that Lin Fan controlled.
If it hadn't been for that water wall, it would have been hit head on with the golden powder and suffered heavy injuries.
But it still complained about Lin Fan putting it in such a dangerous situation.
It was clear that this snitch wasn't going to let it go, but he still tried to get them to come together.
The Control Toad suddenly gave a croak, as if it was telling Lin Fan, "You should just get rid of this snitch as soon as possible. You only need this great toad and nothing else."
However, Lin Fan just ignored it as he looked at the snitch.
Seeing that it wasn't making a move, Lin Fan raised his hand to pick up the Control Toad again and brought it over to the snitch.
As it was being brought over, the Control Toad looked at Lin Fan with a look like it was saying, "Et tu, Brute?"
But once again, Lin Fan ignored it.
When he brought the Control Toad forth, he said, "Look, I have it under my control."
Then he gave a few orders to the Control Toad.
The Control Toad cautiously looked at the snitch before following those orders.
It started dancing on my hand, doing all kinds of things that would be considered demeaning, but it was doing it with its life at risk right now. If the snitch didn't accept this and released its golden powder at it, it had no way of defending.
The snitch just floated there for a while as if it was judging the Control Toad.
When it was over, the Control Toad was panting from all of the things that it did to prove that it wasn't a threat. But during all of this, it didn't take its eyes off the snitch just in case it wanted to do anything.
In the end, the snitch floated over to Lin Fan's other shoulder and just floated there in place.
Lin Fan looked at it with a strange look before asking, "Don't you want to go back into the Storage Ring?"
The snitch slowly moved back and forth as if it was shaking its head, then it faced the Control Toad as if it was watching it.
The Control Toad trembled when it felt the snitch watching it like this.
It turned to Lin Fan for help, but Lin Fan's attention was still on the snitch.
After looking at it for a bit, he said with a sigh, "Alright, then do what you want."
Though he had tamed the Control Toad, it would be a lie to say that he fully trusted it. He didn't know what it was capable of since it was a spirit beast from this Minor World.
Feng Yu was also a transmigrator as far as he could tell, so he believed that the things in this Minor World would have been affected by the cheat power that he received. He didn't believe that this Control Toad would be fully controlled by the Love Gauge Taming even if it was a power that came from the system.
So in a worst case scenario, he could use the snitch to take out the Control Toad.
The Control Toad turned to Lin Fan for help, but he just looked back at it like he was saying, "You have to work hard to make it trust you."
The Control Toad once again revealed an aggrieved look when it saw this.
Lin Fan ignored it and put the Control Toad onto his other shoulder before moving forward towards the unconscious spirit beasts.
Once he was in front of them, he turned to the Control Toad and said, "Do your thing."
The Control Toad was naturally surprised, but it wasn't because it didn't understand what Lin Fan meant by this. It was surprised that Lin Fan was actually allowing it to do this.
The snitch also reacted strongly to this as it started floating around Lin Fan's head, like it was telling him that this was a bad idea.
But Lin Fan looked at it and said, "If we just leave them here, they'll just cause trouble. It's better to let it control them so we can use them in the future."
The snitch still continued to move around in an agitated manner, making it very clear that it didn't agree with this.
However, Lin Fan didn't listen to it in the end.
The Control Toad hesitated a bit since it was afraid that the snitch would do something, but seeing that it was slowly calming down in the end as it was being talked down by Lin Fan, it released its worms.
These were the final worms that it had, but it was worth it since it was now completely defenseless.
The snitch had wiped out all the control that it had over its puppets, so if it didn't get more puppets, then it really wouldn't be able to do anything.
The black worms quickly covered the spirit beasts and dug into them.
These spirit beasts really were pitiful.
They had only regained freedom for a short period of time before they were filled with black worms once more. They didn't even get to enjoy that freedom since they were unconscious the entire time.
Since these were spirit beasts that were controlled previously, there was no rejection at all to the black worms. The black worms even slipped right into them like it was a perfect fit.
So without even knowing what happened, they fell under the control of the Control Toad.
Seeing these spirit beasts fall under its control, the Control Toad revealed a confident look.
It had been scared since it had lost all of its puppets, but now that it had gotten some puppets back, it was feeling more confident. It was like losing all ways of protecting oneself and then suddenly getting a gun.
But before it could take this further, it immediately turned around and presented these puppets to Lin Fan.
It was as if it was telling Lin Fan to use these puppets as he wished.
Lin Fan gave a satisfied nod before patting the Control Toad on the head and saying, "Take care of the rest as well."
The Control Toad's eyes lit up and it controlled the worms to cover the rest of the spirit beasts.
At the same time, the black worms started moving towards the elders and disciples.
But before they could reach them, Lin Fan suddenly tightened his hand that was on the head of the Control Toad. The Control Toad trembled when it felt his hand tighten around its head.
Lin Fan calmly said, "Not them. Don't ever think of controlling any humans unless I give you permission."
The Control Toad trembled once more before quickly turning and bowing to Lin Fan.
It was as if it was submitting completely to Lin Fan.
At the same time, the black worms immediately moved away from the elders and disciples, as if they had been terrified by something in that direction. They immediately created a space around the elders and disciples before moving to the other spirit beasts.
The Control Toad cautiously looked up at Lin Fan, like it was asking if this was alright.
Lin Fan gave a nod and let the Control Toad take care of this.
The snitch floated over in front of him and moved about in a light and happy manner. It was almost as if it was very pleased with how he had treated the Control Toad.
Lin Fan just shook his head with a bitter smile as he waited for the Control Toad to finish up with these puppets.
But before it could finish, there was a voice that suddenly shouted, "Ah! It's the black worms! We need to get out of here!"
After that, there was a loud booming sound as an attack was released on the black worms wriggling on the ground.
Lin Fan didn't even need to look to know what it was.
The elders and disciples had woken up.
