Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2723: What kind of tigers are we? We are just cats at most.

The Dragonhawk comfortably enjoyed the soothing sensation brought by the power of life. Lin Muyu used the Eye of the Undead to observe its soul and found that it had indeed recovered somewhat. However, Lin Muyu’s brows furrowed slightly.

A red line appeared in the Dragonhawk’s soul. This red line was very inconspicuous but exuded a cursed power. While the power of life was healing the soul, this red line reduced the healing effect by at least half.

“Someone has cursed the Dragonhawk.”

Lin Muyu looked at the red line and felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The Dragonhawk sighed, “It’s been a long time since I felt this comfortable. Kid, do you have more? Give me some more.”

Lin Muyu replied, “Of course, but I want to continue discussing our deal.”

The Dragonhawk refused without hesitation, “I won’t betray my brothers. Besides that, we can talk about anything else, like what treasures you want.”

Lin Muyu said, “I know you won’t betray your brothers, but Guangya just promised me that if I can heal your injury, it will willingly become my spiritual pet.”

The Dragonhawk widened its eyes and looked at Guangya, “Did you really say that?”

Guangya nodded, “As long as it can heal the boss’s injury, becoming a spiritual pet is nothing.”

The Dragonhawk took a deep breath, “No, I don’t agree. I don’t need it to heal my injury, and you don’t need to become a spiritual pet.”

Guangya wanted to say more, but Lin Muyu waved his hand to stop it.

Lin Muyu said to the Dragonhawk, “Let me rephrase. I don’t want a spiritual pet; I just hope Guangya can help my friend understand the Great Dao. Besides that, I won’t make it do anything else.

“And we are neighbors. I live in Yudao City over there, and we will be interacting for a long time. As neighbors, shouldn’t we help each other?”

Lin Muyu’s words made the Dragonhawk fall silent. It had to be said that Lin Muyu’s words were very tempting. He didn’t need Guangya to become a spiritual pet, just to help understand the Great Dao, which was Guangya’s talent and wouldn’t harm it. Moreover, it was really concerned about its soul injury. It just didn’t want to harm its brothers and sisters in the tribe for its own sake. It was still hesitant, not knowing if Lin Muyu was deceiving it or had other intentions. All of the Dragonhawk’s expressions were seen by Lin Muyu. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an indescribable smile. The Dragonhawk’s current reaction was all within his expectations.

“You definitely won’t believe all my words, which is normal.”

“How about this, to show my sincerity, I will first release Guangya and then heal your injury. As a neighbor, I will heal your injury, and whether Guangya is willing to help me is up to you.”

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and Guangya immediately regained its freedom, transforming into a stream of light and flying to the Dragonhawk’s side.

The Dragonhawk didn’t expect Lin Muyu to show such great sincerity, looking very surprised. Gu Qingxuan had already understood Lin Muyu’s intention. If force didn’t work, then use softness. If inducement didn’t work, then use sincerity. Just now, Guangya’s words had already made Lin Muyu firmly grasp the Dragonhawk’s character, and Lin Muyu was fully utilizing it. Under Lin Muyu’s careful design, the Dragonhawk had already fallen into the trap and would find it difficult to refuse. Gu Qingxuan knew that Lin Muyu captured Guangya solely for herself.

Guangya was actually of no use to Lin Muyu. She couldn’t help but feel waves of emotion. She fully understood Lin Muyu’s goodness. Her gaze unknowingly became gentle, like a spring water that could melt everything. Standing behind Lin Muyu, her change in gaze was unnoticed by him. Lin Muyu looked at the Dragonhawk, “I sincerely want to be friends with you. I learned about your past from Guangya and think you are very special, different from other spiritual beasts. Maybe we can really become friends.”

The Dragonhawk hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “How can I trust you?”

Lin Muyu said, “Mutual trust takes time. We humans have a saying, ’Time reveals a person’s heart!’”

“At the moment, I can’t make you fully trust me, but don’t worry, you will understand in the future.”

“I will first give you a token of my sincerity as the first gift of our mutual trust.”

A Great Dao appeared above Lin Muyu’s head, and a powerful source of the Undying Dao rose up. Countless life forces gathered in his palm, forming a bright white light ball. Lin Muyu compressed a large amount of life force together and then pushed it to the Dragonhawk, “This is my first gift. It should help stabilize your soul and prevent it from losing control.”

“At the same time, I must tell you that your soul injury is not that simple.”

“But I can’t explain it clearly now. It should be related to some kind of curse. When you fully trust me one day, let me check it carefully.”

“Alright, I should go back now. If you want to find me, go to Yudao City 200,000 kilometers away. It’s over there, and you should be able to find it.”

“By the way, my name is Lin Muyu. When you get there, you can find a guy called the Human Emperor, and he can contact me.”

As he spoke, Lin Muyu signaled Qingyuan Nineteen to return. The Dragonhawk watched Lin Muyu leave from a distance, its eyes flickering. After Lin Muyu left, it opened its mouth and swallowed the light ball filled with life force. After confirming there was no danger, the light ball fell into its soul world, releasing life force at a stable speed and starting to repair the soul. This feeling was very wonderful, and the Dragonhawk felt extremely comfortable, its eyes becoming a bit softer.

Guangya whispered, “Boss, can we trust him?”

The Dragonhawk shook its head, “It’s hard to say. Human thoughts are too complicated. We need to observe more.”

Guangya said, “I think, whether we can trust him or not, we should at least agree to let him heal your injury first. Then we can turn against him, and they can’t do anything to us.”

The Dragonhawk shook its head, “Either don’t agree, or do what you agree to. By the way, didn’t I tell you not to steal other people’s things outside?”

Guangya said, “But that seed was very attractive.”

The Dragonhawk snorted, “What’s the use of being attractive? You almost lost your life. Don’t steal again in the future, or you will lose your life one day.”

Guangya responded with an “Oh,” indicating it understood. The Dragonhawk deeply looked in the direction Lin Muyu left, then turned and left.

On the way back, Lin Muyu handed the life seed to the World Tree for cultivation. Gu Qingxuan asked, “Do you think the Dragonhawk will trust you?”

Lin Muyu smiled, “Who knows, maybe it will, maybe it won’t.”

Gu Qingxuan said, “You were very sincere just now.”

Lin Muyu said, “It was from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t have any other thoughts, and everything I said was true.”

Gu Qingxuan was a bit surprised, “You really want to be neighbors with them. You know, two tigers can’t live on one mountain.”

Lin Muyu laughed at himself, “What kind of tiger are we? At most, we are just a cat.”
