Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 924 - 815: Where’s My Pet?_2

After speaking, he silently bid farewell to the Venerable Family and his courtyard companions in his heart.

"I'm sorry, in the end, I let the Venerable Family's efforts go to waste. Cultivators die and are completely gone, I hope the rumor is false, and that in my next life I can repay the Venerable Family's kindness..." With reluctance and regret, his huge body collapsed, and as he fell, he opened his giant mouth, forcibly swallowing the Golden Mace Divine Statue!

Luo Nanjia immediately understood what the other party wanted to do when he saw this, and angrily shouted, "Stop him! He's, he's going to self-destruct!"

Once self-destructed into pieces, not even the Pagoda can extract a shred of Life Origin!

Jiu Qing's eye twitched, "Without refining, I only have usage rights for the Pagoda, not control rights, so I can't stop it."

"Wasn't he... already dead?" The hunchbacked old man was stunned. What kind of Life Energy is this, that he can still breathe when being besieged with almost all his flesh and blood torn?

The three Demon Cultivators outside the Pagoda were powerless to stop him, only able to watch.

Inside the Pagoda, Bai Yunqi swallowed the Divine Statue, and suddenly from his tattered wounds burst brilliant golden light. With determined fury, he closed his eyes and chose to self-destruct!

"Even if I die, I'll drag a Golden Statue down with me!"

The last thought flashing through his mind, accompanied by a muffled explosion, everything returned to tranquility.

Golden light dazzled, all the shattered bloodstains instantly turned to ashes and vanished.

Having lost the target, the seven Golden Body Divine Statues, holding weapons, moved slowly back to their positions, and the one consumed during Bai Yunqi's self-destruction indeed accompanied him in death.

"One less!" Jiu Qing could no longer maintain his previous composure, he was the user of the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower and could sense its further damage, and losing a statue was very serious!

The hunchbacked old man's face instantly turned pale, "What do we do? That White Snake Demon actually..."

"Damn it!" Obtaining no Life Origin, but causing damage to the Pagoda, trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, Luo Nanjia's face looked grim.

Staring intently at the Pagoda, missing one Divine Statue, his throat felt dry, "Today's events must not be known by any outsiders, violators... die!"

No need to say it! Privately using the Divine Artifact for personal gain and even damaging it, any leak of information is a capital offense! Jiu Qing slightly frowned, speaking softly, "Can this Pagoda really undertake assassination missions?"

Even a mere Golden Core Realm peak White Snake Demon caused statue loss; if those Great Demon Cultivators resist, whether the Pagoda can suppress them is a question.

Given the gravity, Luo Nanjia's expression changed, advising, "Don't make any noise yet, refrain from using the Pagoda again until orders arrive. When the list comes, choose the lowest Realm to test; then say... the Pagoda has not been completely repaired and was damaged by the Great Demon's resistance."

Jiu Qing silently nodded, indeed needing someone to take the blame.

Otherwise, if the Demon King finds out I activated the slaughter formation and couldn't even instantly eliminate a mere White Snake Demon, I might be kicked out.

...............

Putting away the last incense stick, Jiang Yuan felt very good.

[Side Quest: Incarnation]

[Task 3: Creating three Nine Sky Mysterious Fragrant Sticks within one month is complete. Reward: Skill Upgrade Card +1 has been issued]

[Task 4: Use three Nine Sky Mysterious Fragrant Sticks to complete a transaction with Qu Luming. Reward: Acceleration Card +1]

[Contracted Pet: Bai Yunqi, deceased]

Seeing the task completion notification float by, his smile slightly froze, wait, something strange mixed in!

Focusing on the last notification, Jiang Yuan was momentarily stunned and immediately opened the pet interface.

Sure enough, the thumbnail representing Bai Yunqi turned gray!

"Oh my! What's going on? What happened to my big pet?" He stared blankly at the gray avatar and the word "deceased," his mind buzzing.

Since binding the system and entering Wilderness World, Jiang Yuan has never felt so close to death before. Though Hu Zhile and the others often lament the heaps of bones along the path of cultivation immortality, he knew the world is impermanent, yet he never thought his friends might actually die and be gone.

If it was a mortal, I could still chase to the Netherworld, make arrangements to be a Ghost Cultivator, but the cultivator's death leads to complete disappearance without even a soul...

Being overwhelmed by the chaotic thoughts, Jiang Yuan's nose felt a twinge, tears welling in his eyes, helplessly reaching out to tap the gray avatar. Hoping the notification wasn't true, that handsome and witty young master, proud little Bai, could be summoned back again.

[Revive][Delete]

Before the tears fell, two options popped up when clicking the gray avatar. Choosing to delete would leave an empty pet slot available for contracting a new pet.

He immediately put away his tears and sorrow, without hesitation clicking revive!

[Do you wish to consume a Resurrection Talisman to revive the contracted pet Bai Yunqi?]

[Note: After using a Resurrection Talisman, regardless of where the pet dies, it will be revived within the pet slot, and can be summoned again without the need to re-contract binding;

Using a Resurrection Talisman incurs a cooldown period of three months. If the contracted pet dies again within cooldown, you must wait for the cooldown period to finish before reviving;

When the pet dies and revives, the dropped Magical Treasure and other items may randomly be lost;

Prior to revival, certain modifications within a range can be made to the contracted pet, including but not limited to changing its appearance and implanting/replacing Spirit Root, though the skills learned by the pet cannot be edited or modified. Please ensure compatibility between the implanted/replaced Spirit Root and skills...]

"Able to change appearance, even implant Spirit Root?!" Jiang Yuan's slight nasal twinge vanished entirely into oblivion.
