After struggling to communicate with Stone Mama for more than half an hour, Zhang Ming had more or less figured out what had happened at the end of that great battle.
"The Black Tortoise Evil Corpse... just ran away?"
Zhang Ming sat crouched on the ground, gazing at the few white clouds in the sky with a slightly dazed expression.
That ending really left him... at a loss.
After all that fighting, the enemy had actually fled...
But on reflection, the Black Tortoise Evil Corpse fleeing was an outcome he could have expected.
Whatever else it was, it had been born after the Black Tortoise's death. It was the strongest being here, and the primary target of heavenly punishment.
During the terrifying events a week ago, it would have been under the greatest pressure.
Unless the Black Tortoise Evil Corpse was utterly stupid, there was nothing surprising about it running away.
Stone Mama had merely used the "little tree's" power to raise the entire continent, then used its own spirit language to replay the scene from back then.
It had no combat ability of its own, much less the strength to defeat the Black Tortoise Evil Corpse. It had merely used the might of heaven and earth to frighten its opponent.
"Will it... come back?" Zhang Ming asked worriedly. "With nothing holding it in check, if it comes back, we'll be killed before we even have time to run."
Stone Mama rolled around on the ground a few times. He had no idea what it was trying to convey.
"Did the Black Tortoise Evil Corpse devour the good corpse?"
No one knew the answer to that question either.
Only after questioning it for quite some time did Zhang Ming slowly relax.
The Black Tortoise Evil Corpse had no true intelligence.
