Mag thought it was a 10th-tier magic beast that was controlled by Cthulhu and received some power when it was devilized, including rapid self-recovery power.
Looking at the giant snake, which was still flying despite half of its heads being busted”, Mag felt he had underestimated it.
“Ssss…”

‘The giant snake let out a furious cry.

“Don’t hiss at me, otherwise I’ll bust the rest of your heads.” Mag flicked a glance at its other two heads.

Sometimes, the comforting words of a powerhouse were that effective.

That big snake immediately kept its teeth, but it was still staring at Mag with its four eyes. Its red pupils actually started to spin.

Mag stared at those vertical pupils, his gaze seemed to have turned slightly lost.

After a while, Mag suddenly chuckled.

“Your power is way below mine.” Mag’s gaze became clear, while that big snake’s gaze turned dazed instead. Its wings simply flapped unconsciously.

‘When the giant snake started to launch mind control on him, Mag turned the tables on it. With his strong spiritual power and mind control ability, Mag managed to control this snake.

“Pray tell, what are you? Why did you come looking for me? Also, how did you find me?” Mag asked.

The giant snake numbly replied, “I am horror hunter, Lord Cthulhu’s servant. I sensed the presence of Lord Cthulhu on you, and I wanted to see if you knew where my lord was.”

“Servant?” Mag frowned. This fellow was indeed not a magic beast that was controlled by Cthulhu.

“How many servants does Cthulhu have? Is horror hunter your name, or the name of a race?” Mag continued to ask.

“The great Lord Cthulhu has countless servants. We, the horror hunters, are only one of the Lord’s lowly servant races,” the giant snake answered.

Mag turned solemn, and gravely asked, “Where are those servants now? Are they still alive?”

“Un… Un…” The big snake’s eyes suddenly flickered. It actually got out of Mag’s control, and its vertical pupils regained clarity. It let out a hissing roar and pounced on Mag.

“Such a pity. I was so close.” Mag sighed regretfully. He slashed off the two heads of that giant snake, leaving the middle head that was still slowly recovering. He smacked it unconscious with his sword.
Sitting on the griffin’s back, Mag took out the communicator that Xi gave him, informing her that he had caught a horror hunter. Then, he waited on the spot.

Three minutes later, the empty space vibrated, and a five-pointed-star-shaped spaceship appeared, hovering above the bamboo forest.

‘The spaceship’s door opened, and Xi walked out. She flicked a glance at the three-headed snake that had two of its heads cut off, and narrowed her eyes. Then, she looked at Mag on the griffin’s back.
Looking at the scene, this seemed to have been a one-sided battle.

This horror hunter couldn’t even retaliate effectively.

This man was indeed very powerful.

“This is a horror hunter, one of Cthulhu’s servant races,” Xi said. “How did you find it?”

Mag shook his head, and said, “I didn’t find it. It found me. It said it sensed the presence of Cthulhu on me, so it came to look for me. I lured it here from Rodu.”

Xi nodded and lightly landed onto the ground. She walked to the horror hunter, and placed her right hand on its remaining mutilated head.

Asilverish-blue light lit up in the palm, and engulfed the head of that horror hunter.

Just as Mag thought that she was going to heal that fellow, Xi retracted her hand, and a fist-sized crystal ball appeared in her hand. There was a tiny three-headed flying snake within that crystal ball.
That flying snake was bumping around crazily in the crystal ball, trying to burst out of the restriction. Obviously, it was the miniature version of that horror hunter.

“Horror Hunter, you have violated the first rule of Underground City. You came to the Norland Continent against the rules. I’m now arresting your soul, and sending it back to the Underground City for judgment!” Xi declared coldly before keeping the crystal ball away.
Underground World, the first rule, Underground City… Mag felt that he had received some new information.

“Lwant to know how many more such fellows exist? Where are they hiding?” Mag asked Xi.

“I don’t have the permission to answer those questions,” Xi coldly replied.

Mag frowned slightly. He felt that this woman was just like a humanoid system. She was rigid and cold.

“Then do you Elder Things have any ways to conceal the Cthulhu’s aura on us? It doesn’t feel good to keep having weird creatures come looking for us.”

Xi looked at Mag and pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “You are qualified and attractive bait. Perhaps Cthulhu will come looking for you again.”

“Tm just a freaking tool, then?” Mag’s eyelids twitched rapidly.

“No, you are just bait,” the system corrected him.

“Grass”.”

“A kind of green plant,” the system harmoniously added.

Mag said to Xi, “You can keep the aura on me, but the premise is you have to help conceal the aura on Annie. Otherwise, I can’t promise you can still get its soul after you arrive next time.”

Xi looked at the horror hunter’s corpse on the ground, and considered it briefly before taking out a ring from her equipment bay, and passing it to Mag.

“Let her wear this ring. Other than Cthulhu, no one else can sense her abnormality again.”

Mag looked at the silver ring in his hand. A line of mysterious runes was engraved on it. It felt cold to the touch. Nothing unusual could be seen.

“Thank you.” Mag kept it solemnly. Although this woman felt like an emotional robot, she most likely wouldn’t lie to him on such matters.

“Tl leave all this for you to settle. I’m going back first.” Mag didn’t expect to get any information from her, so he left right away after giving Ah Zia pat.

Of course, the job of cleaning up the crime scene should be left to the police. He was just bait without any human rights.

Xi watched Mag run away and disappear. She looked at the surrounding mess with a frown before returning to the spaceship.

‘The spaceship hovered over the horror hunter’s corpse. A beam of light shot out from the bottom of the spaceship, and the three-headed snake’s corpse disappeared instantly. The crater on the ground was filled up.
The spaceship spun one round above the bamboo forest before disappearing into the void again.

The bamboo forest was still in a mess, but it simply looked like the aftermath of a fierce fight between two magic beasts.

Is this red braised pork… really that delicious? Xi lay on the hovering chair, looked at the glistening red braised pork in the picture book, and gulped.

She only put down the picture book after a while, and got up to get a liquor glass from the shelf. She poured a glass of liquor for herself, and grabbed a bunch of drunkard peanuts from the box. She sat by the window and drank alone.
