Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 831 - 829: This Is Simply Too Terrifying!!! (Part 2)
"How about it? Have you found anything?"
The person still exploring the mechanism did not look back, continuing to search, as if she truly knew there was a mechanism here.
"Not yet, but I’m skilled in various mechanical techniques. We’ve come this far quite smoothly.
The stone in front of us looks a bit like a mechanism I’ve seen before. I need to explore it further."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone heard a crisp ’click’ sound.
Someone immediately looked over and saw the woman pressed a specific spot, finding the mechanism.
Someone was instantly surprised and puzzled: "I just searched that spot earlier and found nothing. I guess I was too careless!"
"Our Special Administration Bureau is indeed full of hidden talents, with each having their own specialty..."
The Dragon-breaking stone slowly rose, and the people trapped inside the passage finally felt fresh—no, it was the rancid air.
Uh (⊙o⊙)...
And those colorful snakes piled in the corner, as well as a person in a black robe lying there.
The space outside the tunnel looked like a basement, with the ground covered in various stones, and natural light pouring from above.
Everyone looked at each other.
The leader had envisioned many scenarios but hadn’t expected this situation at all.
So, in the end, he forced out a sentence: "It’s lively here, huh..."
"Should we climb up there?"
"That should be the exit. Everyone gets ready, we need to climb up!"
After the Dragon Spirit destroyed this basement, the steps retracted into the walls did not reappear.
They really could only rely on themselves to climb up.
"Everyone, be cautious and guard against sneak attacks!"
Once everyone climbed up, what they saw in front of them was even more of a devastated scene.
It was as if someone careless had intentionally set fire to burn all these lawns and plants.
"Hey, where’s that person who helped us open the Dragon-breaking stone? Does anyone know her?"
Before checking, they all assumed the woman was a member of another team.
But now, after checking, they realized, there was no match!
"What, you’re saying your female member didn’t come this time?"
"Your team doesn’t even have a female member?"
"Then who was the person who helped us open that Dragon-breaking stone? Could it be..."
Someone already couldn’t help but swallow. Logically, being Xuan Sect members, they wouldn’t be afraid of any demons or spirits.
But that woman resembled someone too much.
If a spirit or a ghost could disguise itself as human and blend among them without being noticed, that would indeed be terrifying!!!
"Stop talking. The more you speak, the more unsettled I feel!"
"Don’t be so cowardly. Even if it’s a spirit or ghost, as long as it doesn’t harm us, it’s fine!"
They all thought, oh yes, indeed.
Regardless of the woman’s background, she genuinely helped them earlier.
The horned serpent saw the crowd coming from afar and hurriedly reported upwards.
It feared being slow and getting crushed into paste by that seemingly weak wooden figure.
"Found the marks left by others, this way!"
Even though the place was greatly burned by the Dragon Spirit, the exclusive marks of the Special Administration Bureau clearly guided their path.
After the Special Administration Bureau people left this chaotic, burned area, the woman they discussed before dispelled her invisibility.
A ray of sunlight shone down, and her fair skin subtly glimmered with colorful hues, like scales reflecting light.
The horned serpent: ...
It thought it had poked into the nest of those who’ve transformed into human forms!
Having been subdued twice before, now another woman appeared.
Moreover, this woman’s aura was even more vicious than the previous two.
The horned serpent restrained its aura, afraid of being noticed.
Instinct told it that if caught by this woman, the outcome would definitely be skinning and peeling.
After all, its entire body was a treasure, with the inner core being coveted by many Great Demons for a long time.
A bite wouldn’t grant immortality, but it would certainly boost one’s cultivation.
Seeing the woman follow the earlier group, the horned serpent, for the first time, used its centuries-old brain.
If it could lure this woman to the Black Panther, it could settle their long-standing conflict.
Then, it could let the woman dispose of the Black Panther, claiming the territory for itself.
The horned serpent’s plan seemed promising, completely unaware that the woman had already noticed it while it was observing them closely.
However, she assumed the horned serpent was a guard raised by the Black Robed People, so she didn’t plan to provoke it.
Thus allowing the horned serpent to escape unharmed.
Had she known, the horned serpent’s skin and inner core would already have been separated.
The Special Administration Bureau people quickly regrouped following the marks.
Those guarding the collapsed area immediately felt a sense of kinship; they had been so anxious waiting there.
"Why are there so few of you!"
Looking around, there seemed to be only about forty to fifty people, whereas Brother Long had Gu Chu’s authorization to mobilize nearby points.
"Some are still behind. The Black Robed People realized we know their base and have sent people to pursue us."
That’s why they split into two parts; one came here for support, the other engaged the Black Robed People on-site.
"So that’s the case, let’s go down and take a look."
On the ground they felt fine, but once inside the Underground Palace...
The overpowering scent of blood made their heads spin.
"Damn, our people are so badass? They trashed the Black Robed People’s base like this?"
Uninformed, they assumed this devastation was caused by the Dragon Spirit and its allies.
Proceeding further, they saw the dead Black Robed People and remnants of Great Demons.
The aura from these dead Great Demons was still chilling enough to instill fear...
The person speaking earlier now felt something blocking their throat.
All their life, they hadn’t seen this many Great Demons.
Even discovering a single Great Demon would typically cause chaos among them.
Now, these Great Demons were just lying dead.
What on earth happened here?
