Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 894 - 892: The Self-Destruct Device Has Been Activated? (2nd Update)
Xie Xuzhi was somewhat amused by the actions of the little paperman.
If he were such a fragile and emotional person, he would have died countless times already.
However, Xie Xuzhi still appreciated the little paperman’s affection, as it was rare to encounter someone so close to him.
At this moment, Xie Xuzhi was completely unaware that the little paperman’s closeness was not entirely due to their acquaintance.
More so, it was because Xie Xuzhi carried the aura of the Heavenly Thunder Order and was bound by a Heavenly Dao marriage contract with Yun Ran, leading the little paperman to instinctively draw near to him.
The Dragon Spirit and the members of the Special Administration Bureau discussed for quite a while but didn’t come up with anything useful.
One of them sighed and said, "If only we could figure out the origin of this hidden weapon."
Finally, Xie Xuzhi spoke up: "I think I know what this is."
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on him.
Being stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes like this would definitely make anyone with little composure feel uneasy.
But such things had no impact on Xie Xuzhi.
"I remember reading in an ancient book that the bones of ancient demon beasts, when used as the eye of a mechanism array, have astonishing power."
If this wasn’t the central area of the Death Mountain, nor a place where numerous great demons and even demon kings had appeared, Xie Xuzhi might not have made the connection.
The mention of ancient demon beasts.
Someone suddenly let out an "ouch," as they were so shocked that they bit their own tongue.
The person’s face immediately turned bright red; it was so embarrassing.
He was doomed; he could even imagine his companions mocking him face-to-face in the future: "Hey, the tongue-biting guy is back~"
Just thinking about this scene, the young man suddenly wanted to find a hole to crawl into and bury himself.
Ugh, it’s really embarrassing.
How could he be so unworthy? They’re just ancient fierce beasts, what’s so unusual about that!!!
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on the ancient fierce beasts at the moment, so they temporarily let him off the hook.
The Dragon Spirit hadn’t reacted yet, but the little paperman also let out an "ah."
"Ancient fierce beasts, I know, I know. Rong Gu, who used to fight with my master, once sealed the spiritual body of an ancient fierce beast on her arm!"
The spiritual bodies of ancient fierce beasts exist, so it’s normal that their bones were preserved.
What the little paperman didn’t say was that in their master’s ’heirloom’ book, many fierce beast spiritual bodies and evil spirits were also sealed.
However, these things aren’t something that can be obtained just by having the skills or ability; one must also have sufficient heritage to acquire them.
Some of the beings sealed in the book were sealed by Huaiyi True Master, but most were by the predecessors of Qingfeng Temple.
The elders of Qingfeng Temple didn’t just slaughter those fierce beasts and evil spirits indiscriminately, except for those beyond redemption.
For the rest, the people of Qingfeng Temple would give them a chance to mend their ways, and sealing was a punishment for their mistakes.
If they could reform, they might have the chance to reenter the cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, if they were irredeemable, they would be sealed forever until they completely dissipated.
The little paperman’s thoughts wandered infinitely.
But when the Dragon Spirit spoke, the little paperman’s thoughts were pulled back.
"It’s a pity that Rong Gu is dead, otherwise, we could have asked her."
The Dragon Spirit seemed to think that anything he wanted to know, he could just ask.
But then he saw the little paperman roll its eyes at him.
What was he thinking? Rong Gu hated their master deeply, and with Dragon Spirit having such a good relationship with the master, Rong Gu would surely be angered at them too.
Not to mention, Dragon Spirit even swallowed the Fire Dragon sealed on Rong Gu’s arm; it’s a miracle Rong Gu didn’t take the opportunity to kill Dragon Spirit.
At this moment, the little paperman suddenly thought that Dragon Spirit seemed not very bright.
Luckily, Rong Gu was dead.
Otherwise, the little paperman would really worry that Dragon Spirit would get himself in trouble trying to get answers from Rong Gu.
Dragon Spirit didn’t know the little paperman was mentally mocking him, but he did see the little paperman roll its eyes.
A surge of speechlessness rushed to his head.
This little magic artifact dared to put on airs in front of him, the Dragon King! Does it want a beating!
"Come here and roll your eyes at me again, I dare you!"
Little Paperman: ...
He wasn’t stupid; it might be a magical artifact but it’s not foolish, there’s no way it would go over!
The Dragon Spirit snorted coldly, fine, for Yun Ran’s sake, he would let it slide.
"If there really are the bones of an ancient demon beast here, then it’s indeed quite a problem."
If it were a spiritual body of a demon beast that appeared, the Dragon Spirit wouldn’t find it as troublesome.
Even he, a naturally born being, hadn’t cultivated a true form; at most, he could manifest only a solid shadow.
But the bones of an ancient demon beast mean it’s a corporeal demon beast, difficult to deal with.
Even though they had previously defeated some great demons, those are nothing compared to the ancient demon beasts.
To give the simplest example.
The current Demon King might seem somewhat competent, but compared to the ancient demon beasts, he’s just a squirt.
Especially in the past few hundred years of the Xuan Sect’s decline, not only the Xuan Sect people but also those demon beasts have grown much weaker.
The Heavenly Dao weakened their powers simultaneously, perhaps as a form of balance.
Dragon Spirit was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable about ancient demon beasts in the group.
His words naturally carried a certain level of authority.
"No wonder when we were in the first secret path, that fire seemed so sinister. Now it seems, there were definitely ancient demon beast bones there too!"
But the most frustrating part is that the arrays set by ancient beast bones specifically target magic artifacts.
It forces them to charge forward barehanded.
But even attacks that the magic artifacts couldn’t withstand, how could mere flesh and blood endure?
"The use of such means to protect the place indicates that the control of this underground palace is very important,
perhaps, the thing inside would be very beneficial to us and a significant blow to those black-robed people."
Just as everyone thought that they must find a way to solve the problem no matter what.
"Boom!"
A collapsing sound suddenly came from the depths of the secret path.
Everyone’s expressions changed; they had checked, and the secret paths had been reinforced.
Even if they used all the Xuan Sect’s techniques to destroy them, it would be extremely difficult.
But now, the sound of collapse was definitely not a good thing.
"Could it be that by activating the arrays of two secret paths consecutively, the self-destruct mechanism has been triggered?"
