Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 799 - 797: The Joy of Winning Effortlessly and Picking Up Money
Xie Xuzhi didn’t bother to hide anything, his bright smile clearly visible to Jia Feng.
"I didn’t expect Yun Ran to be so quick, she’s cleaned out all your treasures pretty thoroughly."
Listening to Xie Xuzhi’s cheerful tone with a hint of schadenfreude, Jia Feng’s mouth immediately formed a straight line.
Their group had waited a while before Yun Ran entered, naturally intending to watch her make a fool of herself.
No matter how formidable a young girl is, she’s still a young girl, facing the unknown must be terrifying.
In the past, those who were captured and pushed into the Mystic Iron Gate often screamed in fright.
Ultimately, Jia Feng still looked down on women, especially those who stood out in the Xuan Sect, instinctively thinking they were all inferior.
Jia Feng held the notion of first dampening Yun Ran’s spirit, which is why he didn’t follow her in immediately.
Who would have thought, he’d witness this scene; Yun Ran not only didn’t break into tears from fear of the unknown, nor did she tremble with fear.
Instead, she had almost completely pried out the inner cores embedded in the stone walls.
Even though these inner cores weren’t truly considered treasures to them, there were so many of them.
And also, Xie Xuzhi got to laugh at their expense.
For Jia Feng, it was like getting slapped in the face while being asked if the slap looked cool.
Seeing Xie Xuzhi’s bright smile, Jia Feng forced a poker face, deliberately saying in an indifferent tone, "These aren’t treasures; only those with shallow backgrounds would think these inner cores are treasures."
Clearly slapped in the face, yet still saying these words for saving face.
Yet Xie Xuzhi nodded earnestly, indicating he believed what Jia Feng said.
This made Jia Feng feel like his previous statement was unnecessary.
"It’s getting late, we should continue on."
On the other side, Yun Ran and the Ginsengfruit dug up inner cores as they walked, both with smiles on their faces.
"Host, this is my first time experiencing the feeling of effortlessly ’winning’, it’s amazing!"
They’re not short on money, but if just bending down a little to gather some profits, they won’t pass it up, especially since these items belonged to the enemy.
This made their actions feel even more satisfying.
"The only pity now is that this tunnel seems not very long."
If only it were as long as the one they came through before, think of how many inner cores they could have dug up.
Later putting these inner cores in Qingfeng Temple’s treasury, think of how much powder they could grind, how many High-level Talisman Papers they could draw.
Thinking about Qingfeng Temple’s future high-level talisman paper materials lasting for hundreds of years invigorated the Ginsengfruit.
With treasure hunting, time always flies by quickly, Yun Ran felt she had just warmed up and almost finished digging up the inner cores.
They finally reached the end of the tunnel, here, there was no Mystic Iron Gate, but a huge space suddenly appeared.
The sound of iron chains clanking echoed, and the scent of blood wafted from here.
As soon as Yun Ran set foot into this vast space from the tunnel.
The originally dim place suddenly lit up with a white light.
This brightness wasn’t from lighting but rather a brightness from the activation of an array.
"Host, look!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yun Ran’s eyes couldn’t adapt to the sudden brightness, she instinctively blinked her eyes shut, adjusting before slowly opening them.
This brightness didn’t affect the Ginsengfruit at all, he saw the situation here before Yun Ran.
The exclamation earlier came because he was stunned by what he saw.
Here, a dense number of people were chained, and to Ginsengfruit’s surprise, several familiar faces were among them.
This familiarity didn’t mean he knew them personally, but he had seen their photos.
Outside, all these people were reported missing, and many had been missing for so long that people assumed they had died while out training.
Now, these chain-bound individuals stood apathetic, like puppets, obediently there.
If Ginsengfruit hadn’t sensed their weak breaths, he might have thought they were statues.
Yun Ran finally adapted and opened her eyes, taking in the scene before her.
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Living Dead Puppets!"
At the sight of these people, Yun Ran’s mind immediately recalled previously forgotten details.
When she first arrived in this world, the first time she met Xie Xuzhi, was when Xie Xu and his group were chasing a Living Dead Puppet.
That person was Captain Song’s friend.
"Host, are these really Living Dead Puppets? They don’t quite look like the ones we saw before."
Listening to Ginsengfruit’s words, Yun Ran’s expression became a bit complicated.
"If my guess is correct, the Living Dead Puppets we encountered before were all failures, now the ones we’re seeing are the real Living Dead Puppets."
Ginsengfruit’s eyes widened: "These people only look slightly weak, not much different from normal people."
Yun Ran didn’t say much, flexing her fingers, she sent a wave of energy forward.
The closest person to them, who initially stood like a harmless frail patient.
Upon feeling Yun Ran’s energy wave attack, their demeanor changed dramatically.
Those eyes became as sharp as an eagle’s, muscles surging, their speed and strength astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared in front of Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit.
The speed far exceeded Ginsengfruit’s expectations.
As that person threw a punch, a blast echoed alongside it, tearing through the air.
Ginsengfruit raised a hand to block.
A ’crack’ sounded, his arm was directly broken.
Yun Ran leaped, kicking the person’s neck, her foot augmented with mystic power like a Thousand-Pound Fall.
Yet, the kick only made the person stagger slightly, causing no real harm.
Yun Ran quickly grabbed Ginsengfruit and formed a seal, casting a Light Shield around them both.
As the Living Dead Puppet attacked again, Ginsengfruit saw that his host’s defensive Light Shield was split open by the attack.
"Host!"
Yun Ran showed no panic, forming another seal and simultaneously flicking out a few high-level Defense Talismans from her body.
Bang! Bang! Several sounds echoed, but fortunately, their defense held without further breaking apart.
