The Legendary Man novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639 A Huge Problem

Upon saying that, Joselle once again lay down on the large tree stump and closed her eyes. Meanwhile, Ryan was lost in thought as he stared at the lock of hair in his grasp.

He was almost certain of it. There was something not quite right with Joselle. Putting aside her outward appearance and the time and place at which she appeared, the fact that she had said no demon beast would dare to approach him with the lock of hair made her seem more terrifying than a demon beast.

However, Ryan was left with no choice. Because of the continuous days of fleeing for his life, his body was riddled with severe injuries.

Even if those injuries were not life-threatening at the moment, they would eventually become a problem if left untreated.

After all, a cultivator was still a human. Spiritual energy did not make a person omnipotent. A deep wound on the body could become inflamed and eventually take his life.

Most importantly, while Joselle might have acted strangely, she did not exhibit any murderous intent toward Ryan from the moment of her appearance until now. This gave Ryan a measure of reassurance.

Their surroundings were pitch black. Although Ryan was a cultivator, his vision only enabled him to see roughly ten meters ahead. Any further than that distance were unknown dangers.

If the lock of hair was not as strong as Joselle had claimed it was, Ryan would likely die halfway down the road.

Should I go?

Ryan turned to look at Joselle. He realized that her chest was heaving gently. She appeared to be asleep.

“Joselle, did you say that Jonathan is your slave?”

“Yes, he is. But he ran away.” Still, Joselle did not open her eyes. She spoke as if she were in a dream.

“The power of that lock of hair can last up to ten days. After ten days, it will lose its effect when my aura fades away. When that time comes, there are only five safe locations within the abyss for someone with a weak Superior Realm cultivation level like yours. They are located within the Four Symbol Formation and the valley here. If you dare venture out to other places, you will die without so much as leaving a corpse.”

Ryan felt conflicted when he recalled the bizarre creatures he had encountered. “Then why did you save me?”

Joselle opened her eyes as Ryan spoke

It was only a glance, but the fury in her gaze made Ryan back away several steps and collapse butt-first onto the ground.

Joselle laughed happily as she observed the sight before her.

“You won’t know about this since it’s your first time here. Once this place has been sealed shut, it will only reopen in three years. The reason I saved you was so that I would have someone to talk to and relieve my boredom. Otherwise, with a cultivation level like yours, you’re no different from an ant in the abyss. I grow weary of your indecisiveness. If you don’t intend to go, stop disturbing my rest.”

Upon saying that, Joselle fell silent and closed her eyes once again.

Amidst the gust of wind from the mountain, Ryan gripped the long lock of hair in his hand and turned around to leave.

If Joselle had looked for a reason to deceive him, Ryan would rather die than listen to her advice to heal his injuries.

However, Joselle had directly told him her motive. With this, Ryan was able to relax.
