"Highest priority command retrieval... Analyzing target 1... Analyzing target 2..."
"Target adjustment postponed... Highest priority elimination... Target 1..."
Just as that voice sounded.
The massive tentacle violently launched a fierce attack toward Lynn.
But at the moment the tentacle was about to strike Lynn, two identical tentacles suddenly erupted from the ground, clattering as they tightly wrapped around that attacking tentacle.
"Go!"
A ferocious voice abruptly emerged from within that monster.
It was the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit's voice!
She wasn't dead yet!
She was still inside that monster, fighting against it!"Madam!"
Lynn shouted.
But in the next instant.
The tentacle controlled by the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit slammed heavily into Lynn.
His pupils dilated, and his body was instantly sent flying far into the distant darkness of the street by that tremendous force.
His vision was rapidly obscured by layer upon layer of black mist.
He stretched out his hand as he continuously retreated.
His field of view kept pulling away.
Soon, all that remained in his ears was the howling wind.
Thud—
Lynn's body landed heavily on the ground.
Lynn quickly stood up, his breathing becoming rapid.
How could this happen?!
"No!"
He suddenly looked up.
He knew that if even the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit couldn't handle that monster, then he would only be walking to his death by going there.
But should he turn around and escape now?!
Flee from here like a coward? And then look for revenge opportunities later?
"What kind of joke is this!"
Lynn clenched his jaw.
Without another word, he rapidly sprinted toward that direction.
But he didn't join the battle; instead, he quickly turned into his potion shop and rushed to the backyard.
He rummaged through boxes and cabinets repeatedly.
The next moment, he took all the remaining half of the Flesh Proliferation Potion he had hidden.
"If she can hold on, there must still be a way to save her!"
Just as he was about to leave, gritting his teeth.
He suddenly stopped.
In an instant.
He quickly turned around and rushed to the cellar entrance, breathing rapidly.
"That's right! There's also teacher's pet—that thing can definitely help!"
Clang—
Lynn violently flung open the cellar door, and a wave of foul odor immediately billowed out.
"Hey!"
Lynn shouted into the darkness, gritting his teeth:
"I know you're pretending to be dead! I also know you've always hated me the most, hated me feeding you so many expired potions every day! But this is an emergency now! No matter what you are, I need your help!!"
"Teacher is in danger! That monster has come for us! Its target is our Bloodsaw Potion Shop! And if I die! As a member of our potion shop, you won't escape either!"
"Hey! Can you hear me?!"
Lynn roared.
Then he threw several stones violently downward.
[Ding! Little Treasure's favorability toward you -1]
Hiss—
A threatening, snake-like hissing sound came from the depths of the dark cellar.
And in the next moment.
Whoosh—
A huge, winding figure rushed out from the cellar, its enormous shadow instantly enveloping Lynn.
"This is..."
[Little Treasure]
[Level]: ???
[Alignment]: Lawful Evil
[Race]: ???
[Combat Ability]: ???
[Introduction]: A tongue hidden in the cellar of Bloodsaw Potion Shop... It seems to be part of some entity's body, voluntarily kept by Bloodsaw for unknown reasons. It absolutely hates shit-like expired potions and the human boy who has been feeding it this shit for two years...
"Little Treasure?" Lynn murmured.
Hiss—
The long, enormous tongue looked down at Lynn, its tip splitting open to reveal an identical tongue inside, which in turn contained another identical tongue.
It appeared before Lynn in an extremely grotesque and bizarre manner.
"Hiss hiss hiss (fuck your mother)—"
It stared at Lynn.
For some reason, Lynn instantly understood the meaning behind its hissing.
Lynn (furious) reached out and grabbed its taste buds, saying:
"You dare curse again?!"
"Hiss hiss hiss (fuck your father)—"
Lynn gritted his teeth audibly, (furious) pulling its taste buds as he said:
"Fine! Curse all you want! But this is an emergency! My friend is fighting that monster outside! I'm telling you, that monster is coming for us!"
"Even though you're ugly and cowardly, you're still part of our Bloodsaw Potion Shop! I'm the one who raised you feeding you mouthful by mouthful!"
"Think about it—if my friend gets destroyed, and then I get destroyed, who's next?!"
"That's right! You ugly, cowardly big tongue!"
Lynn roared at it.
[Ding! Little Treasure's favorability toward you -10]
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss (you eat shit)—"
"......"
Lynn (furious) pulled at its tongue root, saying:
"That's not shit! It's potions! They might be a bit expired, but they're legitimate potions!"
"Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss (bullshit, you eat shit)—"
Lynn grabbed its tongue root in exasperation (furious) and said: "Fine! If you come with me now, I'll feed you premium potions every day for the next two months! Potions that will make you feel really high! How about that?"
A brief silence.
"Hiss hiss (deal)—"
[Ding! Little Treasure's favorability toward you increased by 0.001]
And in the next moment, that giant snake-like tongue came clattering out from the cellar, beginning to extend maddenly.
Then it wrapped around Lynn.
Instantly extending toward the outside of the shop.
This is a very flexible tongue!
...
Street.
In less than five seconds, Lynn and that big tongue returned to the battlefield.
When Lynn saw the scene on the street, he was instantly shocked.
The entire street was already completely unrecognizable, covered with battle scars.
In the very center of the street, that monster wrapped in countless arms kept contracting and expanding.
"Complete assimilation progress... 54%... 55%..."
"Target 1 detected approaching... Highest priority elimination... Target switching..."
Whoosh—
In an instant.
One after another massive tentacles covered with vertical pupils grew wildly from the ground.
Big Tongue: "!!!"
Instantly.
The tongue turned around to flee.
"Three months!!" Lynn (furious) grabbed the tip of the big tongue, saying:
"Save my friend! I'll feed you high-quality potions every day for the next three months!"
[Ding! Little Treasure's favorability toward you increased by 0.01]
