Chapter 845 Stewing The Black Monkey

After coming out from the Raksa Sea, Darren and Barnes the Holy wasted no time in flying over to where Hanson was.

It took them two days to arrive. As soon as they landed, Darren hurried into the cave's opening where the old man was waiting.

"Darren! You're back!"

Darren took out the medical materials he had collected and laid them all out. "I have collected everything you need."

"Good. I'll make the pills right away," the old man said.

Darren nodded and went straight into the cave.

He reached the bed where Hanson was lying on. The latter was pale and his face was contorted in pain.

"How are you feeling, sir?"

"Not bad. I think I can manage a few more days." Hanson struggled to give a reassuring smile, but his strength was on its last straw.

"Barnes the Holy, come here." Darren called out towards the entrance of the cave.

"What's going on, Darren?" Having not seen the black monkey before, Mathew stood beside Darren in shock.

Too preoccupied, Darren introduced Barnes the Holy briefly. "Sir, this is Barnes the Holy. Barnes, this is Mr. Mathew Xiao."

Suddenly, Hanson began to tremble.

The inside of Mathew's head also began to buzz in disbelief. Was this really the legendary man? How could he still be alive? And now, there he was standing before them!

Mathew shot a skeptical look at Darren. "Darren, are you sure?" he passed on to Darren through his spiritual sense.

Darren gave him a reassuring gaze. "There is no mistake. He is Barnes the Holy.''

With that, Mathew stretched out a hand for a polite shake. "Nice to meet you, sir.''

Barnes grasped the proffered hand. "You can just call me 'bro'. That would be enough." Then, he moved to stand beside the bed where Hanson laid.

"Wow, those rubbish surely did it." Something dark flashed through Barnes' eyes. In a blink of an eye, his fiendish aura covered Hanson.

"Ahhh!"

Hanson began to writhe in pain, screaming hoarsely.

Mathew was immediately on his guard, deeply troubled by what he was witnessing. "What?!"

"It's alright, sir. Barnes the Holy knows what he's doing. He's been poisoned with the same venom before. He must be driving it out of Hanson,"

Darren hastily explained, putting an arm out to calm Mathew down.

It took four hours of agony before Hanson fell into a peaceful slumber.

"How did it go? Were you able to remove the poison?"

"Of course not. My ability can only do so much. I was able to drive out large portion of the venom, but the toxic bug rem

nt and almost barren.

This made Darren feel restless. Unbidden, Elsa came suddenly to his mind. The bitter feeling of pain blossomed inside his heart. It caught his breath like a punch in the gut.

Amid the pain, anger rumbled sleepily inside him. Gradually heating up until it boiled inside him. Looking up the sky, he couldn't help but say, "Immortal, where is she?"

Then, as sudden as it came to him, he felt drained and powerless. The immortal was a powerful creature. Even Barnes the Holy couldn't defeat him. How could Darren possibly face such invincible being? The gap between them in terms of power was too wide to possibly overcome.

Suddenly, the voice of Barnes rang out across the dense forest.

"Fuck off! Release me!"

Darren was baffled. "What? Why is he here?"

'Did Barnes the Holy come here to find peace as well?' he wondered.

A burst of white smoke rose from within the forest. Faint voices began to stream out of it as if several people were speaking all at once.

Darren dashed towards the source of sound. When he finally reached it, he found himself torn between laughing and crying.

The black monkey was all tied and thrust up inside a huge iron pot. Fire roared beneath it, happily stewing the contents of the pot as well as the black monkey.

Two men sat around the fire, watching the pot intently as they waited for the stew to boil. There was a bit of drool coming out of their mouths as they stared. "Elder brother, what kind of a monkey is this? Why does it speak?

How long before it is finally cooked?" one of them asked.

"Sixteen hours. The soup will taste delicious."

"Yeah, yeah." They continued to wait.
