Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 858 - 784: Paper Tiger (Part 3)

Although I have so many protective charms, but... after all, that thing has entangled me before. What if it clings to old feelings and insists on rekindling things with me?

Besides, even if it doesn't dare to come close, just standing there by the water with its hair disheveled staring at me would still scare me!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Why not just skip the potion? If you can't see it, there's nothing to fear."

"No, no, I'm timid. The less I see, the more I scare myself, imagining things. And if I do see it, I'm even more scared..."

Jiang Yuan had never seen what a Water Ghost looked like. Anyway, the stories, though inconsistent, were all quite creepy. He glanced at the water reflecting the daylight.

The surroundings were quiet, only the croaking of frogs from somewhere, accompanied by the occasional chirps of insects, made it all the more tranquil.

"How can you be so unlucky? In such a big city full of people, yet you've encountered Water Ghosts twice?"

"You never know, bro; you're the best. Keep me company a couple more times just to make sure Water Ghosts are not easy to encounter, and I won't be afraid anymore!"

As they chatted idly, the origami in his hands was done. Just as he was about to put it away, Chuci glanced over and asked, "Bro, what are you fiddling with?"

"Paper tiger." Jiang Yuan replied curtly and then, feeling inspired, showed it to him, hoping to pitch, "Got the potion? Let me show you something interesting."

Upon receiving a positive response, when the potion took effect, enabling them to see things ordinarily invisible, he snapped his fingers. The Heaven-Burning Flame leaped between his fingers and consumed the paper tiger, turning it to ash.

"Roar～"

Watching as the small paper tiger turned into a wisp of blue smoke, the remaining ash and smoke were swept away by a sudden whirlwind, from which a majestic tiger leapt out.

Sitting by the riverbank, it looked up and let out a thunderous roar, echoing across the land!

"Oh my god!" Chuci was dumbfounded, seeing a big, lively tiger emerge like that.

It took him quite a while to realize that this creature wasn't real. His eyes fixed on Jiang Yuan with a longing for power, "Bro, your skills are freaking awesome! I want to learn, I really want to learn!"

Without directly answering, Jiang Yuan gestured the tiger over, reaching out to touch it, enjoying the realistic feel. After all, it was a Level Nine Paperman and Paper Horse Skill creation. After turning into a tiger, it seemed quite genuine.

Had it not been for the fact that once turned to ash, normal people couldn't see it, such a life-like big tiger wandering by the riverbank could easily make headlines tomorrow!

"You should have heard of the Paper Makers from supernatural stories. Tiezhu Bro also explained last time that this craft, colloquially known as 'eating the Underworld meal,' isn't something just anyone can take up; without the skill, it shortens your lifespan."

He waved his hand again, signaling the tiger to crouch by Chuci, allowing him to cautiously pet it, and continued, "The paper craft I make is very small and easy to carry.

If you encounter something dirty, you can ignite it with a lighter to command it. However, this thing is one-time use; once burned, it can last twelve hours at your side, obeying your commands.

If truly fighting against something dirty, its combat effectiveness isn't weak either. You can even use a paper craft sea tactic to overwhelm the opponent.

But after all, it's a paper craft. It does fine on land, but once it goes underwater or faces fire attacks, it gets damaged easily. Severe damage would turn it completely to ash."

Shortens lifespan?

Hearing this term, Chuci immediately felt like backing out.

Yet, he was unwilling to give up. Having witnessed the other side of the world, he also longed to practice, hoping to summon wind and rain and call forth thunder with a mere gesture, impressively cool!
