Hu Yue thought of going back to her sect for help, while Song Mengmeng thought of finding and capturing the Medusa hiding in the shadows first.
In her view, although this evil god of unknown origin was not easy to deal with, one must always take things one step at a time. Since there was no way to capture the king first, it would be good to at least eliminate some of his henchmen.
However, even eliminating these henchmen is not so easy to do.
Medusa was very cunning and always hid herself very well. Every time she got a little bit of information, she would disappear without a trace right under our noses!
This made both Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue quite irritable and uncomfortable.
However, Medusa possesses a magical artifact that conceals her aura, making it virtually impossible to capture her without breaking through the protective barrier she's wearing.
So after thinking it over, Song Mengmeng pulled the Luo Xinfu that she had locked in the bracelet out again, intending to learn more about her, perhaps with some unexpected gains.
After being tormented by the spirit fire for so many days, Jorogumo's last shred of hope finally vanished.
She finally believed that the little girl in front of her wasn't deliberately trying to scare her to get information out of her, but genuinely wanted to make her wish she were dead.
Jorogumo no longer wanted to beg the seemingly sweet and adorable girl in front of her to spare her life. She was already grateful and thankful that the girl had given her a quick death at this moment.
She really didn't want to be tortured like a piece of roasted meat any longer!
"Do you really not know where Medusa is?" Song Mengmeng was very satisfied with Jorogumo's current attitude.
After burning it for so many days, it has at least had some effect!
Sometimes, when dealing with these kinds of guys, sticks are always more effective than honey.
"Really, I really don't know." Jorogumo was so anxious that she was almost crying. If she had thought that she could escape with any hope before, she was now completely cooked (or subdued).
Under these circumstances, how could she dare to cause any more trouble?!
She wished she could say more to please Song Mengmeng, hoping the girl in front of her would give her a quick death because she was obedient.
"When I was brought into the Chinese family by my master, the snake was already by his side."
My master handed me over to her, saying that I should follow her instructions in all my actions from now on! Although I was unwilling, I had not gained any advantage from my several provocations, so I could only give up for the time being.
I often see Medusa leaving to see her master and receive new instructions, but my current status is limited, and I am not qualified to meet my master.
So in many ways, I just did whatever Medusa told me to do.
As if to prove the truth of everything she said, Jorogumo quickly added, "Usually, I can only see her when she looks for me; otherwise, most of the time, I don't know her whereabouts."
"Master? You've made a contract with a human?" Song Mengmeng's expression changed several times upon hearing Jorogumo call her "master."
The demon race, or the divine beast race, has always had a tradition of forming contracts with humans.
However, if the person who entered into the contract was Zhao Baogen, then...
"I have no choice." Jorogumo explained to Song Mengmeng with a wry smile, "If it were possible, which demon would truly be willing to stoop down and acknowledge a human as their master?!"
But at that time I had just been kicked out of the house because of a fight with my sisters. I was injured and had found a place to recuperate when my owner found me.
My strength was already mediocre, and when I encountered my master, I was no match for him. In order to survive, I had no choice but to compromise.
Later, I came to the land of China.
"Is the master you're talking about Zhao Baogen, the current CEO of the Zhao Group?" Seeing that Luo Xinfu was finally starting to speak openly, Song Mengmeng simply withdrew her spiritual fire for the time being and gave Luo Xinfu a little treat.
"No, that stupid human! Even if I'm badly injured, I can't possibly fall into that trash's hands!" Hearing Song Mengmeng's question, Jorogumo pursed her lips in obvious disgust. She turned to look at the night outside the window, and after a moment of silence, she continued, "To be honest, I don't even know what my master looks like!"
He usually wears a mask.
However, he's recently become quite close to the president of the Zhao Group. It seems the Zhao Group president asked his master to intervene and help him through his current difficulties!
But all of this is just an illusion!
The master wouldn't offer useless charity; the only reason he approached Zhao Baogen was because Zhao Baogen possessed something he wanted!
Since the betrayal has already been chosen, there's no point in hiding it now.
Jorogumo is now basically open and honest about everything she knows.
"Then, do you know the origin of those statues of deities placed in the Zhao Group?" Song Mengmeng continued to ask her next question without changing her expression.
That statue is definitely problematic.
However, there are far too many unregistered evil gods in this world. Although the statue looked somewhat familiar to her, she was still completely clueless when trying to trace its origins, without any leads whatsoever.
"I don't know the specifics, but I once heard my master mention that it was a fortuitous encounter he had when he was cultivating in the Kingdom of Sawadika."
The power within that statue was extremely domineering and formidable.
Medusa and I have a major mission in Baiyue City: to sacrifice the people we've abducted to that evil god.
Previously, the evil god only required strong, muscular men from other races, so Medusa and I had always had a clear goal! However, the evil god was still not satisfied with the offerings we provided.
We had no choice but to continue working in Baiyue City, disregarding the risk of exposure, to fulfill the evil god's demands.
If it weren't for meeting you all, I'd probably still be running around the world helping that evil god capture people!
Jorogumo had indeed only been with the master she spoke of for a short time and was not yet qualified to get close to her. At most, she was just a maidservant following Medusa around.
Even so, the information she provided still satisfied Song Mengmeng quite a bit.
Seeing that Jorogumo was cooperating, Song Mengmeng seized the opportunity to ask the remaining questions that interested her. After receiving Jorogumo's explanation, she temporarily let Jorogumo go and did not burn her with spiritual fire again, but simply put her into the bracelet alone.
Since Jorogumo has already been defeated, Medusa will likely be even less likely to make any rash moves. If that happens, it will be a huge disadvantage!
