Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 924 - 922: Ancient Rabbit Demon (Part 2)

The young members of the Special Administration Bureau, seeing the rabbit struggling desperately in front of them, found it quite magical.

Was it really their life span being stolen by the cute rabbit?

For a moment, everyone couldn’t quite face spicy rabbit legs, spicy rabbit cubes, and delicious rabbit heads anymore.

Hmm, they might have to change the menu when they head back.

Xie Xuzhi watched the shadow still kicking its legs for a long time without uttering a word.

Perhaps, his entire worldview was being reshaped.

"Can those stolen life spans be returned?"

These young members of the Special Administration Bureau were all nurtured by Xie Xuzhi with a lot of effort when he was deputy director.

If possible, he hoped these people could be well.

"I don’t know, let me check first, but I’ll do my best."

Dragon Spirit used to be very arrogant, even when suppressed by Yun Ran, he was still outrageously wild.

But later, after frequent contact with humans, he gradually started to revere life.

He further understood why, for so many years, those who ruled this land were never the powerful Demon Clan but the fragile Human Clan.

Dragon Spirit stepped forward and took the shadow rabbit from the hands of the Little Paperman.

With two shakes, everyone saw the shadow rabbit tremble a few times with a duang sound.

"Hmm, it hasn’t fully digested those life spans, we can retrieve some of them."

Luckily, their previous pursuit was tight, causing the shadow not to dare absorb those stolen life spans completely.

As he spoke, Dragon Spirit extended his claws, and with sharp nails, lightly sliced at the shadow, creating a cut.

The life spans it previously stole immediately flew out.

However, the amount of life span returned varied for each person, with the person whose life was stolen first only getting back a third.

Yet, they were content; it’s better than not getting back any at all.

With those life spans gone, the shadow rabbit, which was originally the size of a foot basin, was now only the size of a face basin.

"What kind of rabbit is this, stealing people’s life spans on purpose, it deserves a beating!"

The Little Paperman said this and did so, giving two resounding punches on the shadow rabbit.

Human fists probably go right through the shadow rabbit.

But the Little Paperman’s fists hit solidly, resulting in the shadow rabbit spitting out a few black circles from its mouth after several punches.

Subsequently, the shadow rabbit shrank even further.

Despite everyone present being from the Special Administration Bureau, they were witnessing such a scene for the first time.

Dragon Spirit’s eyes emitted a golden light, casting over the shadow rabbit.

Unfortunately, even when tracing back thousands of years, he could only see the state of the rabbit after death.

The only difference between now and thousands of years ago was that the shadow rabbit was immensely huge.

Moreover, its power was formidable, nearly swallowing the Demon King.

Later, unable to find energy to sustain itself, the shadow rabbit had to slowly peel away its body.

Then, it was captured and stuffed into this tunnel, becoming the guardian demon beast here.

Dragon Spirit’s eyes returned to normal.

"This should be the Ancient Rabbit Demon; they used to favor preying on humans. Now this shadow isn’t even one percent as strong as the Ancient Rabbit Demon."

Everyone’s expression grew somewhat heavy upon hearing this. Even at less than one percent strength, it was still this powerful!

And it strangely favored preying on humans, such a niche term. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Though it has become a mere shadow, it still doesn’t forget stealing human life spans!

"One more bad news, there isn’t just one Ancient Rabbit Demon here; there’s another inside, that one’s white.

The soul energy of these Ancient Rabbit Demons is sealed within those beast bones; controlling them is best done by finding their beast bones."

Xie Xuzhi understood Dragon Spirit’s meaning at once.

"Are you saying, as long as we find the beast bones, we can also control the souls of these Ancient Demon Beasts?"

Dragon Spirit nodded: "That’s theoretically the case."

He was a naturally born creature without a physical form.

Without a real demon bone, he naturally didn’t know what it felt like to be restricted by demon bones.

In the past, Dragon Spirit had some regret, thinking he was inferior to those Ancient Great Demons with physical forms.

But now, it seems having a physical body isn’t always an advantage, who knows when one might be controlled, losing all freedom.

Unlike him, he has been in a state of soul spirit since he gained consciousness.

Those who could control him were very few, excluding Yun Ran and his master.

"So this is how it is!"

Xie Xuzhi had come across similar books in the confidential ancient book collection of the Special Administration Bureau, though the content was vague.

Only knowing something like this exists but unaware of how it’s actually operated.

Dragon Spirit seemed to understand Xie Xuzhi’s thoughts.

Continued explaining: "These Bone Control Techniques are typically found in large tribes, and only a few people know them.

The tribe’s High Priest passes it down from generation to generation; if the High Priest passes away without selecting a successor, this skill becomes lost."

Xie Xuzhi was fortunate enough to see some records, making him part of the top group in terms of information.

Thinking about the origin of the Black Robed People, Dragon Spirit figured it was normal for them to know the Bone Control Techniques.

After all, their ancestors were branches from the Witch Clan.

"I’ll have people search for the beast bones of the Ancient Rabbit Demon right away."

With the order given, the members of the Special Administration Bureau who were previously forced to put aside their work immediately started taking action.

Previously searching for possible items with obliviousness.

They now search with answers, efficiency drastically improved.

After half a day, someone finally found a piece of white bone.

"Is this it?"

Dragon Spirit took a look; it was just a segment, merely a piece of the leg bone.

Xie Xuzhi assessed the rabbit’s leg bone, noticing the length exceeded his expectations.

"Based on the measure of this leg bone, wouldn’t the size of the Ancient Rabbit Demon be similar to that of tigers and lions now?"

If their size were like this, it seems reasonable to say they prey on humans.

How did the rabbits evolve to be so small now and start eating grass?

Unfortunately, neither Dragon Spirit nor anyone present could answer this.

Dragon Spirit’s ability to trace time only allowed him to go back to the moment his consciousness was born; beyond that, his awareness was a blank space.
