Free Web NovelTheir Beast Tamers didn't come back early or late, but precisely at this damned moment.
The four of them simultaneously showed black lines.
Could it be that their wise and discerning Beast Tamers, who were best at seeking advantages and avoiding harm, had also been influenced by that big idiot, Bright Crystal?
Mingxi had no idea of her pet beasts' merciless internal complaints about her, and of course, the wrongly accused Bright Crystal couldn't possibly know either.
The atmosphere was tense at this moment.
Black Pearl naturally didn't miss her master's loud shout, and the strange throbbing in its chest made it consider a certain possibility.
Its dark eyes looked towards the source of the heat.
It saw a strange object, seemingly composed of waves and ice crystals, being projected towards it!
Like a fierce dragon crossing a river, it carried endless might.
The pressure that seemed to contain a surging tidal wave, and the speed like an anti-aircraft gun...
In a flash, the strange object was already close at hand.
Because of Mingxi's prior loud shout, Little Silver Flower and the other two didn't block for Black Pearl.
Black Pearl's reaction wasn't slow, after all, it was already General-level; it was just the weakest and youngest compared to the rest of the family, not a real baby.
It raised its hand to grasp the stick-like object that was rapidly approaching, but the moment it touched it, it knew it was over.
This thing was so slippery!
It couldn't be held, simply couldn't be held.
"Boom!"
The next second, the front end of the stick-like object irresistibly pierced through the faintly glowing spot on Black Pearl's chest.
This scene was remarkably similar to when Emerald Green previously ambushed Lippert, piercing his heart with the Sinful Spear.
Little Silver Flower and the other two were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Had their Beast Tamers finally grown tired of the foolish merman and decided to finish it off?
Hiss.
The sound of a sharp intake of breath was compressed into this critical moment.
Black Pearl, whose chest had been pierced, also stood there blankly, lowering its head and slowly blinking.
Then blinking again.
Master, are you sure this thing was meant for me to catch, and not to take my life?
｡°(°¯᷄¯°)°｡
Mingxi hadn't expected things to unfold this way either and was equally stunned.
"This..."
However, as everyone was collectively bewildered, the oddly shaped weapon in Black Pearl's chest suddenly shattered into countless water-blue particles.
Like gas yet like liquid, with a whoosh, they all dissolved into Black Pearl's body.
And there was no bowl-sized hole in Black Pearl's chest, not even a drop of blood flowed, but the constantly flickering light and shadow beneath its skin proved that this scene was far from ordinary.
"Zzzzt zzzzt zzzzt..."
The harsh hissing sounds of exploding air became more frequent; Lippert's self-destruction could no longer be stopped, and his laughter was filled with madness and malice.
"Die! You all must die!"
Tense, anxious.
Space was rapidly distorting, as if wailing and roaring powerlessly. freewёbnoνel.com
Mingxi's arm was suddenly grabbed by a figure beside her, and before she could say anything, her vision went dark then flashed.
She looked speechlessly at this understatedly luxurious and profound bedroom, subconsciously raising a hand to touch her head.
No Bright Crystal.
So this was Chiyu's King's Bedroom.
The situation just now was urgent and complex, so the author didn't have time to describe it.
In fact, when Mingxi returned from causing trouble, she wasn't alone; Golden Yuanbao and Chiyu, the only other two missing family members, were also with her.
Here's how it happened.
About twenty minutes ago, in the chaos, Mingxi and Bright Crystal stealthily returned to the main Tomb complex through the 盜洞.
Because no matter how she thought about it, the only solution she could come up with was the out-of-place large Tomb complex on the central island.
She and Golden Yuanbao, along with the other five, were inexplicably teleported separately, and Golden Yuanbao and the other five entered six Tomb complexes in a six-pointed star formation.
Other Beast Tamers and pet beasts were all in the central island's Tomb complex.
The strange design of the central island's Tomb complex.
...
Clues kept telling Mingxi that the central island's Tomb complex and the owner of the original Tomb complex were in an adversarial relationship.
The original Tomb complex owner created this Tomb complex to cultivate a large number of mature Ritual Snails, while the central island's Tomb complex was a meticulously planned solution by someone who discovered this Tomb complex and realized its main purpose.
Mingxi speculated that the central island's Tomb complex, through some method—such as a formation, rule skill, item, or other profound means—subtly and imperceptibly altered the layout of the surrounding Tomb complexes.
"Six-Pointed Anima Yin-Yang Furnace."
This was Guangguang's final conclusion based on all the clues Mingxi analyzed, which was the true purpose of the central island's Tomb complex.
The builder of that central island Tomb complex used strange and ingenious methods to create this so-called Six-Pointed Anima Yin-Yang Furnace.
How that peerless mighty one specifically operated it was unknown to anyone; with Mingxi and Guangguang's knowledge, they could only roughly deduce it.
Perhaps it was by using red threads as the foundation and iron chains as bridges, fragmenting the life energy within the outer Tomb complexes into six inheritance array corners.
These were the six Tomb complex sites that Golden Yuanbao and the others entered.
When the six-pointed array corners were fully activated by Golden Yuanbao and the others, most of the energy within the six-pointed array would be transmitted through those red threads to the anhun coffin in the central island's Tomb complex and the two corpses, one male and one female, inside the coffin.
"The male and female corpses, nourished by the anhun coffin for years, and the anhun coffin after death having the ability to condense the pure energy of heaven and earth, with the coffin and the two corpses then being infused with a large amount of pure heaven and earth energy, would transform the anhun coffin into a Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Furnace."
In other words, Golden Yuanbao was merely a pawn to activate the six-pointed formation; the energy they absorbed might be less {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} than one-tenth of the six-pointed Tomb complex's total.
Mingxi didn't feel anything about it; were the leftovers of a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast no longer a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast?
It smelled very good!
Moreover, given Golden Yuanbao's situation, absorbing all of it wouldn't be good for them either.
Everyone understood the principle of too much of a good thing.
Guangguang, "What I don't understand is, why did this central island Tomb complex bring in so many Beast Tamers and pet beasts? Isn't it just adding to your troubles, Master?"
Mingxi, however, saw it clearly, "Perhaps they were worried that I, this pawn, wasn't smart enough to find the main Tomb complex on my own, or to discover the use of the anhun coffin.
If I were a greedy person unable to resist temptation and opened the jade box prematurely, releasing the ambitious person within, these Beast Tamers could also form a restraint, striving for a slim chance of survival.
That chess player was a mighty one who was skilled at calculation and thought ten steps ahead.
And..."
Mingxi stood inside the unremarkable anhun coffin; its lid had already been opened, and the two corpses that had originally lain inside had turned to bone.
And the skeletons were golden.
They were slowly dissolving into golden liquid, which flowed towards the coffin body, outlining and carving mysterious runes.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The buzzing continued.
Centered around the coffin, familiar rule characters appeared in large numbers without Mingxi even using her spiritual power.
As the golden liquid rapidly flowed, one character after another struck the coffin body. ƒrēewebnovel.com
And the coffin body's aura was continuously rising...
