1124: Chapter 510 The True Greed_3 1124: Chapter 510 The True Greed_3 The power of the incarnation was far inferior to that of Gusha’s original body, but for that very reason, there was a possibility of taming it.

The serpent skin shed by Gusha was lifeless skin without sensation before the will was transferred, since it clung to the surface of Gusha’s body and rged with its flesh, making it very difficult to detect without close inspection.

The dicinal Plant Gatherer had stumbled upon Gusha’s subtle movents by chance, due to a fortunate mistake.

After that, he imdiately devised a plan, he obtained a Shadow Fur Ball from Ling Long and then surreptitiously transferred it beneath that dead skin.

Utilizing the Shadow Fur Ball’s ability to cut and Devour Shadows, he began to gradually eat away at the shadow of that piece of serpent skin, allowing the Shadow Fur Ball to quickly grow by absorbing Gusha’s power.

Every ti Gusha shed a sliver of scale, the Shadow Fur Ball would instantly devour the shadow of the scales.

Over ti, its presence had completely rged with that of the scales.

Even without the Gatherer’s cover, it could move beneath the serpent skin undetected by Gusha.

However, the whole affair had to be conducted with extre caution — the Gatherer must not be discovered by Gusha, nor by the Watchman, Ling Long, and their likes.

Firstly, because this was an exceedingly bold plan, the premise of capturing Gusha started with allowing Gusha to complete its ‘jailbreak’ plan, to let its incarnation successfully escape confinent.

If anything went wrong at that ti, leading to the Shadow Fur Ball’s capture failing, and Gusha escaping to the skies, then they would have completely botched the operation, and the consequences would be impossible to estimate.

Such an undertaking, by the natures of the Watchman and Ling Long, would probably not be agreed upon.

Telling them would likely result in them thwarting his actions.

Secondly, Gusha was extrely sensitive to the emotions of intelligent creatures, especially when Gusha was ntally focused.

Simply standing near Gusha and having a fleeting evil thought of capturing it would imdiately be detected!

In such case, the entire plan would naturally go to waste.

For these reasons, the Gatherer had to keep this matter secret from everyone, and even before coming underground, he would use a forgetting spell to erase his mory of capturing Gusha.

Later, he would use an Archive device to restore his mory and continue to covertly control the Shadow Fur Ball to Digest Gusha’s shadow.

The reason the Gatherer had beco increasingly silent and solitary was due to the great risk involved in the affair, necessitating utmost secrecy.

He could not reveal a word nor show any flaws.

For this, he had to disguise himself as an obsessed fanatic, wholly engrossed in the study of Magic Potions, to make his behavior seem more natural.

In this manner, over the next 4,000 years, while Gusha ticulously plotted its escape in the shadows, it was oblivious to the fact that its actions had already been discovered, and moreover, soone was using its plan against it, secretly scheming an even greater conspiracy…

“You this…”

Mu You, having quickly sorted through these mories, turned to the dicinal Plant Gatherer, his forehead breaking out in a sweat, while recalling the words Ling Long had once said to him, “True greed is the disregard of risks, seeking what should not be obtained!”

Now, Mu You ca to a real understanding of this remark.

Without a doubt, greed was a trait found in the Gatherer.

However, his greed wasn’t the trivial sort of taking minor advantages under certain conditions like Ling Long.

No, it was real greed — he had actually dared to dream of subduing the Beast of Catastrophe for his own use!

This kind of deed was sothing not even the Demon God himself could have possibly imagined…

Indeed, the mont Mu You regained this portion of mory, the part of the Bone of the Demon God related to ‘greed’ quieted down instantly, calming more thoroughly and quickly than the previous five temperants.
