The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 274. Saving Brolin?

"B-Brolin... I—" Rabbit Kyla stammered, her voice trembling with shock.

Brolin raised his massive axe and swung it with terrifying strength at her. Rabbit Kyla froze, her instincts failing her as the blade neared.

Before the blow could land, a dragon-scaled hand intercepted the attack, stopping it cold. Tyler stood between her and the weapon, his expression resolute.

"Look closely," Tyler said, his voice calm yet firm. "His eyes are green, and he’s lost focus. See the plants sprouting from his ears? He’s under some sort of mind control."

Rabbit Kyla blinked, finally noticing the details. Her initial shock gave way to a mix of relief and embarrassment.

"So he doesn’t remember anything? That means..." Her voice trailed off, and a small smile appeared on her face.

Cough

Rabbit Kyla quickly coughed, trying to mask her amusement when Tyler and Human Kyla shot her disapproving looks.

"Let’s save him," Rabbit Kyla said hastily, hopping forward with renewed determination.

"Sure," Tyler muttered, turning back to face Brolin.

The tense atmosphere in the underground forest was palpable as Tyler, Rabbit Kyla, and Human Kyla faced off against Brolin. The man they knew was no longer himself. His eyes glowed an eerie green, unfocused and lifeless, while tiny plants sprouted unnaturally from his ears.

Rabbit Kyla suddenly stopped. "Wait, I’ll need some materials for this."

Tyler groaned, sidestepping another swing from Brolin’s axe. "I don’t have time for that!" he retorted while fumbling to retrieve items from his storage device mid-fight.

"What are you trying to do?" Tyler asked, narrowly dodging another strike.

"I’m setting up a Chain Binding Array to restrain him," Rabbit Kyla replied, already sketching runes on the ground with her fingers.

"Got it." Tyler nodded and braced himself as Brolin charged at him again.

The axe came down with a deafening crash, it struck Tyler. He turned into Ice statue and shattered. He had already shifted positions, reappearing beside Rabbit Kyla with the requested materials.

"Work faster," Tyler urged as he handed over the materials and equipments.

Meanwhile, Tyler grabbed his copper ladle.

It grew Bigger.

He swiped it toward Brolin’s axe, hoping to capture it, but nothing happened. Frustrated, he turned his attention to a nearby fallen tree.

With a quick motion, the tree vanished into the ladle. Tyler made a throwing gesture, and the tree launched itself at Brolin, slamming into him with considerable force.

Brolin stumbled but didn’t fall.

Undeterred, Tyler continued to bombard him, pulling massive rocks and debris into the ladle and hurling them at his opponent. Each strike sent shockwaves through the forest, but Brolin’s enhanced state made him nearly impervious.

Rabbit Kyla worked furiously on the array, her hands a blur as she carved runes into the ground.

"Little help here!" she called out, glancing at Human Kyla.

Human Kyla, however, was lost in thought. "Mind control... plants..." she murmured, her eyes narrowing as she struggled to recall something. The fragmented pieces of a memory tugged at her, just out of reach.

Seeing her preoccupied, Rabbit Kyla huffed in frustration and doubled down on her efforts.

Tyler, still battling Brolin, shouted, "Kyla, whatever you’re thinking, can you do it later?"

"No..." Human Kyla replied immediately.

"Alright." Tyler sighed.

The battle raged on, the tension thick in the air.

"Almost there. Hold on!" Rabbit Kyla called out, her voice strained as she etched the final runes into the ground. The faint glow of the forming array illuminated her determined expression.

"Good, because I can’t keep this up forever!" Tyler shot back, beads of sweat forming on his brow as he dodged another wild swing from Brolin’s axe.

Mode Dragon

His form blurred as he vanished, reappearing in an instant before Brolin. With a single, devastating punch, he sent the mind-controlled warrior hurtling through the air, crashing into a cluster of trees.

"Don’t you know any other combat moves or spells?" Rabbit Kyla asked, glancing up briefly from her work, a mix of exasperation and curiosity in her voice.

"I never really learned anything," Tyler admitted, his mouth twitching in frustration.

He usually just use unlimited charms and arrays to deal with enemies. Why bother with traditional combat.

He stole a quick glance at Rabbit Kyla’s progress. If she hadn’t taken the initiative to craft the Chain Binding Array, Tyler would have already pulled out an arsenal of pre-prepared arrays to subdue Brolin. Since the situation is still in control he decided not to reveal anything.

Suddenly Human Kyla snapped out of her trance, her eyes widening with realization. "I remember now! There’s a specific plant that can control minds—it’s called the Parasite Sprout. If we can remove it, Brolin will return to normal!"

"Great, but how do we do that?" Tyler yelled, narrowly avoiding a counterattack from Brolin.

"We need to stir his emotions and make the sprouts pop out." Human Kyla explained, her voice steady despite the chaos. "But we can’t touch it directly. It’ll latch onto anyone."

"Stir his emotions?" Tyler looked at Rabbit Kyla.

Rabbit Kyla sighed. She already guessed what Tyler is planning.

"Done!" Rabbit Kyla exclaimed, stepping back from her completed work.

"Alright... I will lure him." Tyler looked at the Array in the ground. It will work like a trap. As long as someone steps in they will get binded. It is mostly used to capture beasts.

"Brolin.... Is that all you have got?" Tyler stood near the Array and made a taunting gesture at Brolin.

Brolin roared and charged at Tyler like a Bull. He slammed into Tyler. Tyler again turned into Ice and shattered and Brolin stepped on the Array.

Brolin’s movements slowed as the glowing runes of the Chain Binding Array activated. The energy surged upward, forming ethereal chains that wrapped around him, locking him in place.

Brolin roared, his movements growing more frantic as he struggled against the bindings.

Tyler and Human Kyla approached cautiously, their eyes fixed on the sprouting plants around Brolin’s ears. They don’t wanna remove it directly.

"Now comes the hard part," Tyler muttered. He looked at Rabbit Kyla.

"His life is important." Rabbit Kyla said and kissed Tyler in his lips. Both shared a long kiss. Their tongues intervened and when the both lips parted a thin saliva bridge was formed.

Brolin, who had been roaring uncontrollably, suddenly froze. His gaze locked onto Tyler and Rabbit Kyla, their lips locked in a desperate attempt to break the mind control.

But when nothing happened, Rabbit Kyla frowned. She grabbed Tyler’s hand and, in a bold move, placed it firmly on her chest.

Brolin’s eyes widened, a flicker of emotion breaking through his otherwise glazed-over stare.

"It works... Let’s continue." Rabbit Kyla seems to enjoy it a little. But Tyler didn’t point that out. Maybe she unconsciously developed a new kink.

She knelt before Tyler and took out his ’tail’. She is little nervous because this time her mind is clear.

Then she used her mouth to pleasure Tyler.

Brolin just watched it, dazed.

"Maybe we should go hardcore." Rabbit Kyla talked to her self and removed her dress.

Then she requested Tyler to lift her and do it in front of him. But before they could continue...

"Huh... are you two sure you want to continue with this approach?" Human Kyla’s dry voice cut through the tension like a blade.

"Why not?" Tyler replied. This might be the only way to snap him out of it. Though he is saying that, he also kind of liking this scenario.

Human Kyla raised an incredulous eyebrow, crossing her arms. "And what happens if it doesn’t work? If he suddenly regains clarity, the first thing he’ll see is this—the two of you practically cheating on him right in front of his face."

Tyler hesitated, his resolve faltering. Rabbit Kyla’s eyes darted between Human Kyla and Brolin, her confidence waning.

"Besides," Human Kyla continued with a sharp edge to her voice, "he clearly saw you both mating before, and it didn’t work. If anything, it’s making him angrier."

Rabbit Kyla sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "Is there any other way, then?" she asked, turning to Human Kyla and clasping her hand, her voice tinged with desperation.

Human Kyla tilted her head thoughtfully, a smirk forming on her lips. "Actually, there is another way to save him..."

Rabbit Kyla’s ears perked up, and her grip on Human Kyla’s hand tightened. "What way?" she asked eagerly, her eyes brimming with hope.

"Why didn’t you tell that before we do these things?" Tyler murmured as he put on his pants.

"Stop acting like you didn’t enjoy her." Human Kyla gave him a look.

Human Kyla then turned to Rabbit Kyla. She leaned in closer, her tone teasing. "Oh, it’s quite simple, really..."

Rabbit Kyla leaned forward, hanging on to every word. "Tell me!"

Human Kyla grinned mischievously. "Stop trying to seduce him and let me handle it. I have a plan. Do you trust me?"

"I do with my life..." Rabbit Kyla said.

Tyler felt something amiss, tried to intervene. But it was too late.

"Then give me your life..."

A knife stabbed Rabbit Kyla. Her expression froze. She went limp and died.
