Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 788 - 786: I Want You to Be My Inside Man (2)
After the Dragon Spirit finished ’persuading’ the Black Panther, the large snake that was behind the Dragon Spirit had already disappeared.
If not now, then when!
The Black Panther curled its front paws somewhat aggrievedly, appearing to be submissive, but in reality, it was being threatened into a half-kneeling position by the Magic Artifact in the Dragon Spirit’s hand.
The Dragon Spirit jumped onto the Black Panther’s back and patted it.
He said kindly, "I’m actually easy to talk to. I’ll definitely let you go once the matter is done!"
Yeah, right!
When he patted the Black Panther, he left a mark on its body, just like the one on the Six-tailed Fox in the outer area previously.
"I need to go to the center region, hurry and take me there!"
The Black Panther wasn’t used to having another Life riding on its back.
Even though the weight of the Dragon Spirit was negligible compared to its robust build, it still resisted.
If not for the somewhat ominous Magic Artifact being waved over its head, the Black Panther truly would have wanted to tear the Dragon Spirit apart.
"That’s the Demon King’s territory, it’s surrounded by forbidden zone marks, can’t go there."
Having heard this once before, the Dragon Spirit became somewhat impatient: "I said go, so go! Stop wasting time!"
The Black Panther had no choice but to turn and run towards the center region.
But the initial speed was way faster than expected, clearly with the intent of shaking the Dragon Spirit off.
The Dragon Spirit sneered inwardly, thinking that this speed was meant to embarrass him?
Ridiculous, he couldn’t surpass Yun Ran, yet he couldn’t surpass this Leopard Spirit? What a joke, he was the genuine Dragon King!
With a "snap," the Dragon Spirit’s hand smacked the Black Panther’s neck, and the sound was very solid.
This was the sound only muscle-rich creatures make, clearly indicating how well the Black Panther had nurtured itself over the years. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Don’t try any tricks. Your speed can’t shake me off; it’s a mere dream. Just now was a small punishment for you."
As the Dragon Spirit’s words fell, the Black Panther suddenly felt a pain as if something had stabbed its neck.
The pain was intense, but it didn’t affect its movement.
Feeling threatened by the Dragon Spirit, the Black Panther significantly settled down.
Before dawn, the Black Panther finally reached the edge of the Death Mountain’s center region.
Stopping far from the so-called forbidden zone mark, the Black Panther hesitantly glanced at the Dragon Spirit.
The Dragon Spirit was domineering but reasonable: "Alright, just wait here while I go take a look."
The Black Panther had no intention of leaving, having always been curious about these forbidden zone marks. Some Great Demons deliberately caught spirited Life and tossed them over.
Those newly-spirited Life naively trotted past, together with others who eventually turned to dust.
The Black Panther didn’t have the courage to cross, but enjoyed watching other Life approach the forbidden zone mark.
The Dragon Spirit jumped directly onto a tree to observe the mark’s range.
The sight that met his eyes made the Dragon Spirit’s mouth open wide.
The Yin Moon Stones here formed a circle, completely isolating the center region from their current location.
The scene looked particularly magnificent and beautiful, paired with the atmosphere of Death Mountain.
If adventurers discovered this place, it would definitely become a televised wonder.
The Dragon Spirit wanted to see what exactly was in the center region that warranted such protection.
Yet, his eyes couldn’t see what was on the other side, only a vague mist blocking his vision.
For ordinary humans, this scenario was reasonable and normal.
But for the Dragon Spirit, this was highly unusual; his eyes could see through all illusions.
His eyes could even trace back and see thousands of years into the past.
He could say his eyes were more powerful than Yun Ran’s Heavenly Eye.
Yet now, his eyes couldn’t discern the situation here.
There could only be one reason — the center region was protected by an Array, set by someone who could easily overpower him.
"It seems that this person’s strength is no less than Uncle Master."
The last time he encountered someone so powerful here, he couldn’t resist, just like with Uncle Master.
For the first time, the Dragon Spirit’s heart trembled; Yun Ran must have been captured here.
No, he must find Uncle Master; he can’t even send messages from here, he must first leave Death Mountain.
The Dragon Spirit jumped down from the tree, without a thought of challenging the so-called forbidden zone mark.
Seeing the Dragon Spirit return, the Black Panther’s eyes flashed with regret, wishing the Dragon Spirit had died here.
Unfortunately, those Great Demons who cultivated human-like forms have brains.
The Dragon Spirit climbed back on the Black Panther: "Now take me out of here."
The Black Panther hesitated; although it could move freely within the central region, it couldn’t easily reach the outer area.
There, newly-spirited low-level Life resides; these Great Demons mustn’t casually tread there.
Anyone challenging the Demon King’s assigned Level zones faces dire consequences, even if the Black Panther had never met the Demon King.
Yet, the legends and methods of the Demon King remained like a blade hanging over their heads for years, daring no one to act wildly.
"Master, if I go there, I’d scare the other Life, then..."
The Black Panther’s words were interrupted by another slap from the Dragon Spirit.
"Don’t worry, they’re more scared of me. It’s not you they fear!"
With him present, how could other Life steal the limelight? What foolish dreams.
The Black Panther could only reluctantly run towards the outer area.
Having finally reached a place without prying eyes, it was already afternoon, and despite the Black Panther’s incredible speed, it took a long time, indicating how vast Death Mountain is.
Stopping at the edge of the forest, though nothing was outside, the Black Panther fearfully eyed the empty area.
"Master, I’ll only send you here."
With that, the Black Panther was about to turn away, but the Dragon Spirit snapped his fingers, and the Black Panther’s body became uncontrollable.
Fear suddenly flickered in the Black Panther’s eyes: "Master..."
"I’m not interested in your life, but I need you to act as my informant. When I seek you out, you must appear promptly, or else, hmph..."
The threat was left unsaid, but the Black Panther understood.
