Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 652: Returning to the Team

Those nine stone pillars had caught Wang Chongyang's eye before due to the remarkable dragon patterns on them, but it wasn't until this careful inspection that he noticed the odd characters next to the dragon patterns, which were similar to those on the turtle shell.

Wang Chongyang didn't know if these characters were of any use, but he took some talisman paper and bit his finger to use his blood as ink to temporarily copy them down.

He copied all nine pillars, and after seeing that there was nothing else in the room, he then left.

Afterwards, he searched several other rooms in succession, paying special attention to the strange characters, and indeed found a few more places with them, but without exception, they were all very brief, only two or three characters each.

To be safe, Wang Chongyang copied them down as well.

Other than the turtle shell and the odd characters, Wang Chongyang found nothing else of value in the vast palace, which disappointed him.

He didn't know if the turtle shell in his hand could help Houde defeat the horned little girl and the large group of Water Clan demons under her command.

Moreover, he doubted if anyone outside would recognize the characters.

However, he had already turned the palace upside down, so there was no point in staying any longer.

Even if it meant death, Wang Chongyang also wanted to die together with the teachers and students of Houde.

Having resolved this, Wang Chongyang stuffed the turtle shell and the talisman paper into his chest, then took out a Water Repelling Talisman and started chanting a spell.

The Water Rat saw him deploying the talisman but didn't stop him, and continued loyally guarding the doomed situation.

It wasn't until Wang Chongyang rushed through the water curtain that it panicked, squeaking as it followed him.

With the Water Repelling Talisman, Wang Chongyang could move freely in the water, but the Water Rat, being a water demon, was also quick.

Especially with its flat large tail aiding its limbs, it accelerated its movement.

Wang Chongyang had been sent in by the toad, so he was a bit disoriented when he first exited.

As he hesitated about which way to go, he saw a Shrimp Head Monster rush past him.

The Shrimp Head Monster evidently saw him too, hesitated, but didn't stop or attack; it just continued running in its set direction.

Wang Chongyang guessed it must have been given an order, and now the teachers and students of Houde were probably already fighting with the horned girl, and these Water Clan demons must have been commanded to join the fight.

Realizing this, Wang Chongyang decided to follow the Shrimp Head Monster, with the Water Rat trailing behind them.

The two monsters and one man continued this way, until about a hundred steps later, Wang Chongyang's view suddenly cleared, no longer obstructed by tangled water plants.

He finally saw Houde's teachers and students, as well as the horned little girl and her group of Water Clan demon subordinates.

To his surprise, the two groups were not fighting.

Instead, the scene appeared quite harmonious and friendly; Ma Lu was waving his arms directing the Water Clan to lay blocks of stone into paths.

After building the roads, the Water Clan demons would take positions in different areas.

Following that, the horned girl started moving from the starting point to the other end.

Along the way, Water Clan demons occasionally jumped out to harass her, making Wang Chongyang widen his eyes, thinking that her subordinates had turned against her.

Yet facing these subordinates who seemed to be rebelling, the girl surprisingly didn't strike back, more accurately, she didn't strike at all, merely avoiding them by jumping and running at a steady pace.

When she encountered the Grass Carp Monster from the air, she head-butted it away, and when she met the turtle monsters loitering on the road, she jumped onto their turtle shells.

The turtles were sent flying with a light step by her, and even knocked another nearby turtle monster away.

What was she doing?

Wang Chongyang was completely confused, but that did not stop him from taking advantage of everyone focusing on the little girl, to return to Hou De's group.

Wang Chongyang entered the hut created by the Water Dividing Talisman. Upon seeing him, Houde immediately burst into cheers.

Wang Chongyang was equally excited, especially when he saw that towering figure, and his heart, which had been held up all this time, finally settled.

They were saved!

As long as that figure was there, no one could harm Hou De's students.

Ma Lu also nodded at Wang Chongyang, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you bring a beaver back with you?"

"A beaver, what beaver? Oh, you mean the water rat? It was my guard at the Dragon Palace."

Wang Chongyang followed Ma Lu's gaze and saw the water rat running around the water house in circles.

It had chased Wang Chongyang all the way here, showing its dedication to duty. However, seeing so many enemies, it dared not enter and also did not want to leave, caught in a dilemma.

However, Ma Lu was too occupied to focus on it as he saw the horned little girl jump up, head-butt a stone, and a pearl fell out after the stone broke.

The little girl swallowed the pearl, and Ma Lu urgently said, "Quick, quick, put the Giant Talisman on her."

At his words, Liu Kejun instantly threw the Giant Talisman onto the little girl. She doubled in size and began sprinting forward, bumping into the Water Clan Demons blocking her path.

Ma Lu was timing the event and seeing that nearly ten seconds had passed, instructed Liu Kejun to withdraw the Giant Talisman. It was then that he finally had the chance to speak to Wang Chongyang.

"It's good you're safe. The toad monster that took you away was already defeated by everyone together; consider it your revenge."

"Ah? Oh, thank you, Principal Ma... uh, can I ask what's going on now?"

Wang Chongyang had been watching for awhile, but the scene before him exceeded his understanding.

"That guy is too strong to confront directly; fortunately, she likes to play games. We're just playing along for now, to see what happens," Ma Lu's response was terse and to the point.

"Maybe nothing will happen... Before you arrived, I played several games with her, but whether I lost or won, she still intended to kill me."

Wang Chongyang recalled the harrowing experiences that had made his heart race.

However, Ma Lu seemed quite confident. "The games I play with her are different. Let's wait and see how it turns out."

Wang Chongyang then remembered something and pulled out the turtle shell and talisman paper, onto which strange characters were copied, from his pocket.

"Also, Principal Ma, I found these at the Dragon Palace. They might help us defeat the Lord here, but unfortunately, I don't recognize the characters."

Ma Lu took the turtle shell and talisman paper. He was wearing the "Scholar" title, which came with a text translation feature, so he could read the strange characters.

However, unfortunately, what was recorded there was not the key to clearing the catastrophe belt.

"The turtle shell is engraved with a Cultivation Method for spiritual power; as for those you copied onto the talisman paper, they are talisman scripts, nine in total. The other scattered words are not useful at all, hm, why did you even copy the markings from their latrines?"
