<h4>Chapter 2042: Chapter 2042: Bull King</h4>
Now Julius Reed can roughly determine that Merrill Caldwell is not the Prophet.
As for whether that cat is, nobody knows.
It still needs verification.
"Mr. Turtle, you used to be ackey of the temple. Do you know if there were any pets by the Prophet’s side back then?"
Julius Reed was very suspicious whether the so-called Prophet of that time, like Merrill Caldwell now, was being controlled by someone.
And no one paid attention to this, which led to the Prophet’s identity being misunderstood.
Perhaps the true Prophet was just some stray pet around Hiddy’s father.
"Bro, it’s been five thousand years." Pranay Martinez said with a frown, "How could I remember clearly?"
"That’s true." Julius Reed hardly had any encounters with the Prophet. If it weren’t for... getting involved with his daughter, he might never have had any contact.
Before meeting Merrill Caldwell and this cat, Julius Reed would not have thought in this direction.
Not just him, but even the clever Pranay Martinez also did not have this guess.
The Caldwell Family guardians were leading the way ahead, while Merrill Caldwell remained in aa.
Julius Reed kept observing. Merrill Caldwell’s current state was very much like animal hibernation.
There were vital signs, but they were very weak.
She couldn’t die, couldn’t wake up.
It seems that he won’t wake up until the cat returns to Merrill Caldwell.
Julius Reed grabbed Merrill Caldwell’s wrist, continuously observing.
Under the hostile gaze of the Caldwell Family guardians, he finally found a special mark on Merrill Caldwell’s arm.
The cat’s bite mark.
With this bite mark, he could confirm his spection.
The cat would definitelye back, and wouldn’t continue looking for the next person.
This way, Merrill Caldwell’s life was temporarily guaranteed.
However, the Caldwell Family guardians did not think he was checking Merrill Caldwell’s anomalies, but thought he was being a pervert.
The sky grew darker and darker.
The group reached the halfway point of the Dusty tform’s hillside, entering the cave.
"Is it here?" Pranay Martinez looked around the cave, extremely cautious.
He had personally seen the hellish view beneath the Dusty tform.
He knew well how dangerous this ce was.
"We still need to go further inside, but in about a few hundred meters, we’ll be there." The Caldwell Family guardian said, continuing to walk inside.
The environment was dark.
At some unknown moment, the cat had stealthily returned to Merrill Caldwell, hiding under her.
Merrill Caldwell’s eyelids twitched but did not wake up.
They walked a few hundred meters.
They could faintly see firelight now.
In the pitch-ck environment, the firelight was particrly dazzling.
"Be careful." Pranay Martinez lifted his weapon, not daring to be careless.
Having experienced death once, he cherished life even more.
The inside of the cave was dark and damp, and the moldy smell continuously assaulted one’s sense of smell.
The guardians couldn’t stop coughing, obviously greatly affected by the filthy air.
Julius Reed and Pranay Martinez covered their noses and mouths with their clothes, their eyes constantly fixed on the dim light.
The innermost part of the cave wasn’t very big, roughly thirty to forty square meters.
A groove was cut into the innermost wall, with a statue ced inside.
Perhaps, due to the age, the statue was covered in dust.
Tall candles were lit on stone pirs over a meter high on both sides.
The candles were strange, looking as if they had been burning for a long time.
Julius Reed stared and discovered that these candles were burning on Evil Qi.
This meant that beneath the stone pirs, there was a constant supply of Evil Qi.
This Evil Qi and the killing intent within Julius Reed’s Dragon King Ring had a striking simrity.
"This is it." The Caldwell Family guardian pointed at the dusty statue and said: "Miss stays here every night for the whole night, and we guard at the cave entrance until dawn when Misses out."
"This? Let me see what kind of monster it is." Pranay Martinez raised a sword and struck forward!
Sword Qi swept past.
The dust was shaken clean.
It was a bull!
Bull King!
"How interesting, people are actually worshipping a bull?" Although Pranay Martinez sounded disdainful, he cautiously moved closer.
He got very close, but there was no reaction.
"Mr. Turtle, forget it." Julius Reed stopped Pranay Martinez, ncing around identally cing a camera in a crevice in the wall.
"This matter concerns Miss Caldwell’s safety, we’ll leave her here for one night."
After speaking, he pulled Pranay Martinez towards the entrance of the cave.
"You two masters can’t just leave her!" The Caldwell Family guardian hurriedly stopped them.
Now, Miss is in aa, and these two pat their butts and leave?
There’s no logic like this in the world.
"We’re not leaving; we’re guarding at the cave entrance for a night." Julius Reed pushed away the guardian’s hand andforted: "Your family’s Misses here every day, nothing will happen. By dawn, I assure you I’ll definitely save her. If I can’t, then I’ll die here."
After speaking, he quickly left.
The Caldwell Family guardians had no choice but to follow out.
After everyone left.
Merrill Caldwell suddenly opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
Meow.
A weak cat’s meow came.
Merrill Caldwell held the cat, knelt before the Bull King, and bowed devoutly.
The cat opened its mouth, and an almost invisible aura transferred from the cat to the Bull King.
And the Bull King, swayed slightly.
The gold leaf covering it seemed to be about to crack.
Through the camera, Julius Reed and Pranay Martinez watched everything from outside clearly.
"There’s indeed something fishy." Pranay Martinez thought a bit and said: "What is this thing trying to do?"
But suddenly.
Pranay Martinez was shocked to find that Julius Reed disappeared in front of him.
Vanished into thin air!
"What the hell!" He couldn’t help but stand up, swearing.
But there was indeed no trace of Julius Reed around.
Suddenly, Pranay Martinez remembered back when he was inside the Steel Bear, being forced to leave using this method.
This was taught to him by Osher Reed from that well.
Could this be Osher Reed?
Thinking of this, Pranay Martinez broke into a cold sweat!
At this moment.
Inside the cave.
Merrill Caldwell appeared devout, the cat in her arms continuously exhaling its breath.
The Bull King trembled more and more violently.
It seemed as if it was about to burst through the gold leaf ande out at any moment!
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, Julius Reed grabbed the cat!
Picked it up!
The Green Snake and the White Tiger on his body seemed to be stimted, starting to move slightly.
Grabbing the cat, he activated the Evil Qi within him!
Directly forcing it into the cat!
"Meow!"
The cat let out a hysterical wail, struggling desperately!
But it was futile.
Julius Reed squeezed the cat’s neck tightly, not giving it any chance to escape.
Finally.
The cat let out onest scream!
A mist emerged from its nose, directly clinging onto the Bull King.
The cat stopped moving.
Its body started to decay at a visible speed.
Crack!
The Bull King, after being surrounded by mist, finally began to break free from the gold leaf.
This was the first time Osher Reed personally witnessed a divine beast breaking its seal.
This Bull King must have been one of the twelve divine beasts.
Thinking of this, Julius Reed pushed Merrill Caldwell aside and slowly drew the Break Sky Knife.
Moo...
A low bull’s roar came.
Crack!
The gold leafpletely tore apart!
In an instant, it was as if a wild bull appeared out of nowhere!
It charged forward!
Julius Reed immediately ced his Longsword in front of him!
Boom!
A dull thud echoed!
The bull’s horns directly mmed against the Break Sky Knife, sending Julius Reed flying out of the cave.
