Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 631: Debts of Gratitude Are Hard to Repay!
As Dragon Spirit stepped into the corridor behind the Cold Iron Gate, whispers coiled around him, sounding like curses, cries, and roars...
The stone walls of the corridor were engraved with countless ancient and intricate totems and murals. Even without light, Dragon Spirit could clearly see the totems.
Clearly, these were scenes of a tribe performing sacrificial rituals. The sacrifices included various animals, and naturally, humans engraved with slave totems.
Dragon Spirit never thought he had empathy for humans, but seeing the murals filled with humans being used as sacrifices, he felt a slight discomfort.
This corridor, never touched by sunlight, was bone-chillingly cold, along with the whispers constantly lingering in his ears.
Dragon Spirit’s eyes dimmed suddenly, and he shouted angrily, "Disperse!"
A raging firelight flew deeper into the corridor, and the whispers vanished instantly, even the chilling sensation faded significantly.
Dragon Spirit nodded in satisfaction, absorbing the Dragon Core of the Fire Dragon was indeed beneficial for him.
For instance, now, he could simply burn away the negative energy he disliked.
Who knows how long he walked, Dragon Spirit finally reached a spacious area.
An egg, the size of an ostrich, lay on a stone platform at the center, and what was even more surprising, was that the egg occasionally emitted light.
As Dragon Spirit approached, he noticed that the egg was breathing, and with each breath, the eggshell would rhythmically emit light.
Curious, Dragon Spirit reached out to touch it, only to be blocked by an invisible wall of energy.
It seemed so close, yet it felt as if they were in two different spaces.
"Oh, this is truly interesting!"
Dragon Spirit didn’t rush to take the egg, nor did he attempt to break the energy wall with his claws.
Instead, he carefully observed the surroundings. Items locked behind the Cold Iron Gate must definitely be treasures of the Gu God Hall.
In the past, in the deep sea, he took advantage of nature’s nurturing, spending thousands of years to develop spiritual wisdom.
But that giant python, appearing no more than a hundred or so years old, had grown horns, clearly due to the treasures here.
The signs of excavation here seemed to have a history of thousands of years.
The surrounding murals were even more abundant, as if they aimed to fully record the deeds of their tribe.
Recalling the richly ornamented location of the Gu God Hall before, it starkly contrasted with this place.
It now seemed that the previously excavated mountain was merely a cover by the Gu God Hall to conceal this place, their true sanctuary.
After all, now he was wandering with the face of the Holy Master of the Gu God Hall, with no understanding that after sneaking into someone else’s territory, he should rapidly resolve matters.
Dragon Spirit promptly began to examine those murals slowly, thinking he might uncover some secrets.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan and the Little Paperman finally brought down the large glass jar containing the mother Gu.
From afar, they saw Yun Ran lounging on a chair on the grand hall’s steps, legs crossed, looking utterly relaxed.
The Little Paperman had clear divisions of work, some diligently holding an umbrella for her, some fanning her, and others massaging her legs and shoulders.
This place was inherently magnificent. Under the dazzling lights, Yun Ran’s demeanor strangely carried a kingly aura.
Gu Yuan couldn’t comprehend why he suddenly had this thought, as he watched Yun Ran yawning, while another Little Paperman promptly handed her a cup of water.
The earlier imposing kingly aura immediately dissipated beyond recognition.
Gu Yuan quickly shook his head, ever since being bitten by the Gu Worm, he seemed unusually prone to wild ideas.
"Ranran, I found this mother Gu, have a look..."
In the past, Yun Ran would certainly have personally taken care of it, but now, she was a weakling with a sealed Spirit Platform, incapable of even divination.
Glancing at Xuan Chu, meditating as if no one else was present, Yun Ran picked up a fruit next to her and tossed it at him.
"Get up and get to work!"
Nowadays, if there’s a chance to order others around, one should make full use of it; waste not, want not.
Yun Ran didn’t feel she was becoming like Boss Zhou at all, after all, she didn’t see herself as freeloading.
When Gu Yuan appeared, Xuan Chu knew this would be the outcome.
However, he still wanted to see if Yun Ran had any clever ideas or explanations, but in the end, she hit him with a fruit and then ’enslaved’ him.
But he owed Yun Ran an enormous debt of gratitude, now not only entangling himself, but also helping her clean up some entirely unrelated messes.
Indeed, a debt of gratitude is the hardest thing to repay in this world!
Xuan Chu opened his eyes, then slowly stood up, looking at the glass jar much taller than him, oh, it should be called a glass cylinder now.
Finally, he resignedly nodded, "Let me take a look."
After inspecting the glass cylinder, Xuan Chu looked at Gu Yuan and then frowned.
"Dragon Spirit left something on you?"
Gu Yuan didn’t know why Xuan Chu asked, but he nodded, "Yes, he used his blood to shield me from the Gu Worms within."
The advantage was, not to mention Lin Xiang’er manipulating the Gu Worms, but even if the mother Gu was in front of him, it would have little effect.
Xuan Chu nodded, signaling he understood.
"It can be resolved, but first, Dragon Spirit needs to remove the Isolation Talisman from you."
"Can’t you remove it?"
True, by this point, a short while shouldn’t matter.
But Gu Yuan was really anxious. Just thinking about having a worm crawling around inside him made him feel uneasy. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"I can remove it, but you’d definitely suffer a lot, better wait for him to come!"
Mentioning suffering, Gu Yuan immediately recalled Dragon Spirit using blood to experiment on him, scaring the Gu Worm into fleeing and nearly causing him unbearable pain.
The memory of that moment remained vivid.
Gu Yuan felt that waiting a bit longer wasn’t that difficult to accept after all.
"Alright, then I will wait."
Other members of the Special Administration Bureau, who had gone to search, were gradually returning.
Even though many places like storerooms couldn’t be accessed, the evidence they had seen was enough to convict the people of the Gu God Hall.
When Gu Yuan saw the videos of people sealed in jars, eyes tightly shut, leaving no clue if they were alive or dead.
He recalled the child seen in the storeroom, and his stomach churned.
