166: Chapter 164: Gourd Ivan_1 166: Chapter 164: Gourd Ivan_1 The seven gourds got anxious, each put on an eerie face and kept cursing Ivan for being an idiot.
Ivan looked innocent: I was just obeying Master’s instructions…
is it wrong to be too obedient and too well-behaved?
Owen Bertram watched for a while, but he couldn’t figure out what these fellows really were.
Moreover, they were clearly speaking, but there was no sound, so he couldn’t hear anything.
Boom—
The spiritual fla surged, and Owen Bertram sternly shouted, “Speak up!”
The seven eerie gourds were troubled: We can’t.
Owen Bertram tried the Beast Speech Skill, but the seven fellows still looked bewildered.
Finally, Boss thought of a thod, he manipulated the Gourd Vine to form words, the first sentence was: Master, please spare our lives.
The second sentence was: We are very obedient.
Owen Bertram asked, “What exactly are you?”
They could hear Owen Bertram when he spoke.
Boss replied using the Gourd Vine: All we rember is running out from that big mound, how we got in there, where we originally ca from, we truly don’t rember.
Owen Bertram looked back at Burning Hillock: Did you co out from there?!
Sothing actually managed to escape from Burning Hillock!
Owen Bertram fell silent for a mont then asked, “When did you escape?”
Boss hesitated for a mont, then manipulated the vine to say: It was the night before Master ca for the first ti to relieve himself.
The Vine was even more twisted than before, expressing its inner pain and struggle through the calligraphy.
Owen Bertram grunted, “Why are you deliberately trying to please ?”
Boss said: Master is extraordinary and has celestial qualities.
We admirably wish to follow you for life.
Owen Bertram said, “Even though everything you’re saying is true, I don’t believe it!” The spiritual fla advanced forward, causing the seven gourds to panic and dodge.
Boss hurriedly said: Master, spare us, honestly, it was because we saw Master’s mount.
“Mount?” Owen Bertram thought for a mont: You an my second gourd?
That big fellow really revealed his true form, which is quite large, so it was understandable that he could be mistaken for a mount.
“What’s so special about it?”
Boss again appeared clueless: We can’t say, we just felt it is extrely great!
If we follow it, we will surely be listed among the immortals!
Owen Bertram was shocked again, in today’s Eight Desolate, “listed among the immortals” had beco a legend.
The beings in the Sixth Great Realm are very rare.
Owen Bertram asked, “How do I know I can trust you?”
Boss replied: Master, summon your mount, and it will be able to tell.
Does my second gourd have this ability?
Owen Bertram thought for a mont, allowing the second gourd to return from downstream.
After getting ashore, it was unwilling to move, so Owen Bertram had to order chanical Dao Soldiers to fetch it.
Upon seeing these gourds, Little Loach imdiately started cheerfully wriggling its body and without a word, it burrowed into Ivan’s stomach.
Elder Brother was scared, they still didn’t know if these gourds were reliable!
He hurriedly communicated with the second gourd.
Little Loach didn’t seem worried about this at all and replied joyfully and confidently: They won’t dare.
Owen Bertram was still sowhat worried, but seeing how much the second gorud liked his new ho, he hesitated for a mont then collected the Immortal Binding Rope.
Boss quickly used the vine to form a sentence: Master, even though you have Ivan now, please don’t forget us.
Owen Bertram had been painstakingly watering them every day just to harvest a gourd as a new ho for his second.
But now that he knew these gourds were special, of course, he wouldn’t give up on them.
But he still bullied the gourds for their “naivety,” saying, “I already have what I need.”
The gourds grew anxious.
The other five silently cursed Ivan for having gotten a head start.
Boss, controlling the vine swiftly, explained to the master: Each of us has different abilities.
We can do things that Ivan can’t.
Similarly, Ivan can do things that they can’t.
Owen Bertram was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he feigned indifference: “The limited abilities you have, I don’t need.”
The five siblings pressured Boss, who hurriedly said: Please show rcy, Master.
We don’t ask for anything else.
We only hope to stay by your side, promising not to give you the slightest trouble.
“Really?”
“Definitely!”
Owen Bertram reluctantly said, “Alright, for now, I will…
temporarily take you in.”
The gourds cheered quietly.
A few troublemakers even pulled faces, grinding their teeth at Ivan: Just because you, a despicable person, beat us to it, doesn’t an anything.
The Master still promised to take all of us brothers in!
Owen Bertram asked bluntly: “Since you said each of you has different abilities, what are your abilities?”
Boss quickly replied: I have the ability, called “Heaven and Earth Penetration,” which allows to transform both big and small.
I can be as detailed as possible or as towering as a mountain.
Even if it’s a vast ocean, I can fill it as long as I wish.
Furthermore, I can be as heavy as a mountain and as light as a feather.
With various combinations, the abilities I have are endless…
He kept rambling on, making his original rather uninspiring abilities sound amazing.
Coming to his siblings, he summarized them each into a few concise words:
The second has a “Thousand Doors Eye,” given the right conditions it can spy on anything without being discovered.
The third is the hardest.
The fourth can nurture a spiritual fla.
The fifth can condense divine water.
Ivan is the best at all sorts of escape techniques.
Yvette…can nurture gourd seeds.
Once planted, they can grow into whatever you have in your mind.
The siblings complained, all silently cursing Boss, acting just like siblings in the human world.
Owen Bertram exclaid, “Professionals indeed!
This is public opinion hegemony!”
He thought about it and felt that the ability of the fourth was the most useful at the mont.
However, the ability of the seventh is obviously more tempting.
But these gourds might not be honest.
There must be conditions for reaching those abilities, but Boss didn’t ntion anything about them.
Owen Bertram didn’t bother to dig deep, and waved his hand, “Alright, stop arguing.
Each of you works hard to mature as soon as possible.”
He pointed at Ivan with his hand, and the Immortal Binding Rope whooshed around Ivan’s waist, pulling him over, and hung him on his waist belt as a precaution against these eerie gourds.
Then, Owen Bertram turned and walked away, but Boss quickly ford another sentence with the vine: Please co every morning as usual, Master, to supervise us.
Owen Bertram looked at him strangely.
Boss struggled internally.
If he wanted to mature soon, he needed Master to give the “Divine Water”, but it was so embarrassing…
Owen Bertram kept a straight face but nodded: “Alright.”
He too felt a bit embarrassed.
Owen Bertram strolled back to the outpost, on the way, he asked the second gourd without any hesitation: Hand it over!
The second had a puzzled face: What?
Elder Brother had a good mory: That giant pangolin, you said it would make up for a defensive magic treasure.
The second pretended to be confused, claiming Elder Brother must have rembered it wrong.
He already gave you plenty of benefits, and you’re still not satisfied, etc.
Owen Bertram insisted: If you default on your promise, I’m not going to help next ti!
