Chapter 499: Venerable Whites exploration team getting wiped out

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Judging from Li Yinzhu’s ruddy complexion, it seems that eating the flames of the Flaming Saber Technique can partially counter the cold inside her body...

In that case, should I make her eat the flames of the Flaming Saber Technique from time to time before we find a method to cure her disease permanently? Song Shuhang thought to himself.

"Ah!" After eating the flames, Li Yinzhu realized that what she did was improper. She bashfully whizzed past Song Shuhang and hid behind his back, tightly grabbing his clothes and not daring to lift her head.

If there was a lolicon on the scene and they were to see her acting like this, they would immediately hug her and bring her home regardless of the price they had to pay.

"Forget it. I can still destroy that layer of stone even without the Flaming Saber Technique." Song Shuhang raised the treasured saber Broken Tyrant. This is time, he didn’t use the Flaming Saber Technique but only the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique.

The true qi poured inside the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, and Song Shuhang used once more those saber skills he acquired from Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s basic knowledge of saber techniques. He relied on the sharp blade to slash at the layer of stone, cutting through it as though he was cutting butter.

After five slashes, the big layer of stone finally came down.

Very soon, the place where the wooden puppet was hiding was laid bare before the eyes of the several people on the scene.

Just like in Song Shuhang’s dreamland, a lifelike wooden puppet was hidden beneath the layer of stone.

Yu Jiaojiao, who was sitting on Song Shuhang’s shoulder, said, "I don’t sense any fluctuation of spiritual or other energy come from it."

It seemed that the wooden puppet before their eyes was nothing but an ordinary human-like puppet. There weren’t any magical techniques, runes, or secret mechanisms hidden on its body.

"Was it just me overthinking it?" Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

But in the dreamland, he stood in this place and saw the wooden puppet hide behind the layer of stone before the disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect, She Lan, regained consciousness.

Who would believe that the wooden puppet was only an ordinary puppet and nothing more?

Song Shuhang tried to guess. "Is it possible that there might be some hidden mechanism concealed behind the body of the puppet? For example, some fearsome trap will activate if the puppet is moved away from its current position or something of the sort?"

Yu Jiaojiao replied, "It’s very likely. Let’s put some distance between us and the puppet. I’ll use my ability to control water from a safe distance to dig it out."

Thereupon, everyone put some distance between themselves and the layer of stone.

Yu Jiaojiao stretched out her small claw and activated a seal. Soon after, a mass of water appeared in front of her out of nowhere.

Under the effects of Yu Jiaojiao’s innate ability to control water, the mass of water changed into four whips that swept toward the wooden puppet.

Yu Jiaojiao said, "Get ready. If something strange happens, let’s get out here immediately!"

Song Shuhang and Li Yinzhu simultaneously nodded.

Yu Jiaojiao moved her small claw and the whip of water likewise moved, pulling the wooden puppet out of the layer of stone. No hidden mechanism was activated, and the wooden puppet was easily pulled out of the stone and fell next to Song Shuhang’s body.

The body of the wooden puppet shook a few times due to the inertia, but it soon became motionless.

"..." Yu Jiaojiao.

"..." Song Shuhang.

After a short while, Song Shuhang took a step forward and used the treasured saber Broken Tyrant to poke the wooden puppet lying on the ground.

There wasn’t any reaction; the wooden puppet didn’t get up to attack him, either.

Thereupon, Song Shuhang opened his size-reducing purse and moved it closer to the wooden puppet. The size-reducing purse could only reduce the size of non-living things. In other words, if this wooden puppet was like She Lan, a person whose body had been completely transformed into a puppet, it wouldn’t shrink.

But as soon as the size-reducing purse approached it, the wooden puppet started to shrink.

It was really just an ordinary puppet.

In the end, Song Shuhang stored it inside his size-reducing purse.

Yu Jiaojaio said, "So, that’s it?"

Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Yeah, that’s it."

Later, he would have to ask in the group which senior was familiar with the puppet techniques of the Jet-Black Sect and could help him examine this wooden puppet to see if there were any problems with it.

Yu Jiaojiao said, "It was somewhat disappointing."

Song Shuhang replied, "I feel the same... anyway, we managed to obtain the wooden puppet. Now, it’s time to return home."

Mama Song and Papa Song are probably getting anxious... Song Shuhang thought to himself.

At this time, in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Several fellow daoists suddenly popped up.

True Monarch Fallout: "..."

Cave Lord Snow Wolf: "..."

Great Master Profound Principle only sent a dot: "."

Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather: "Ahaha."

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: "Eh? Didn’t you guys enter the ancient ruins together with Venerable White to explore them? How come you are all here? Is it possible that your phones managed to get the signal while inside the ruins?"

Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather: "Ahaha, Senior Northern River, our team was wiped out."

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: "What?"

Their team was wiped out? They were wiped out even though Venerable White was leading them and Venerable Spirit Butterfly was also present on the scene?

True Monarch Fallout: "Yes. We just recently regained our senses. Moreover, we received some injuries as well. We left the ruins earlier, and we are currently trying to heal our wounds. Ahaha."

When the bright moon appears: "You all fainted even though there were two Venerables together with you, and you were forced to leave the ruins as well? Are these ruins really so scary? In that case, congratulations!"

The scarier the ruins, the bigger the reward inside!

Fairy Lychee: "Scholar Drunken Yang, hello. Actually, I’m more interested in how the exploration team was wiped out."

When the bright moon appears: "It’s Drunken Moon, Drunken Moon! If you really can’t remember it, look at my current username ’When the bright moon appears’, there is the word ’moon’ inside!"

Fairy Lychee: "I’m sorry... I’ll make sure to remember it the next time. Bright moon, bright moon!"

"Cough, as for how our team was wiped out... it’s a long story! ?" Cave Lord Snow Wolf sent a sad emoji, as well as a :senior_white_smile: emote.

Unexpectedly, Cave Lord Snow Wolf still dared to send Senior White’s emotes in the chat. Was he tired of living?

True Monarch Fallout: "It’s like this... not long after Senior White led us into the ruins, he started to explore them while studying the ancient runes and magical techniques all around.

Great Master Profound Principle: "."

Cave Lord Snow Wolf continued, "Then, not sure how, but Senior White got somewhat distracted while he was studying the runes."

[System notification: A welcome to ’Tyrant Flood Dragon wants to father a football team’ who just joined the ’Nine Provinces Number One Group’.]

Tyrant Flood Dragon wants to father a football team: "Thank you Fellow Daoist Yellow Mountain for adding me to the group. Hello, everyone. I’m Tyrant Flood Dragon!"

"True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon’s username is really something," Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said with a smile. "Anyway, let’s not get sidetracked and continue with what we were talking about."

"I’ll explain what happened next." Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather quickly wrote: "Senior White got distracted, but we lot were behind him, and from the very start, we didn’t notice it. Then, we kept walking and walking... until Senior White suddenly stumbled."

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: ":face_palm:"

Fairy Lychee: "Restrain your grief!"

When the bright moon appears: "Restrain your grief! +1"

Dongfang Snow: "Restrain your grief! +2"

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da: [Picture of a cute puppy].

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da: [Picture of the head of a dog being furiously rubbed].

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da: "Now that I’m done making fun of myself, Restrain your grief! +3"

Treasure Forging Heavenly Mansion’s Yang Xian: "Fellow Daoist Guo Da, don’t destroy the chain! Restrain your grief! +4"

Island Master Tian Tiankong: "You above, you also broke the chain... f*ck. Anyway, since Senior White fell, did he cause that terrifying explosion as well? No wonder your entire team was wiped out!"

Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei: "Stupid Elder Brother, don’t forget that Venerable Spirit Butterfly entered the ancient ruins together with them! Although Venerable White’s skill to suddenly stumble and fall to the ground is rather fearsome, Venerable Spirit Butterfly should be able to swiftly protect all the people on the scene."

Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: "Therefore, how was your team wiped out?"

Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather continued with her explanation. "The ancient ruins we were exploring were full of traps and hidden mechanisms. In the instant Venerable White stumbled and fell to the ground, the several traps and hidden mechanisms concealed in the surrounding area exploded."

The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group tried to visualize the scene in their minds... it was simply too terrifying.

"But to tell you the truth, we were lucky that Fellow Daoist White stumbled," Tyrant Flood Dragon wants to father a football team said at this time. "The hidden mechanisms concealed within the ancient ruins were very ingenious, and not even the two Venerables traveling together with us were able to discover all of them. At the time, our group had already carelessly entered within the range of these hidden mechanisms. We were very lucky that Fellow Daoist White stumbled and destroyed the traps and hidden mechanisms before they could activate. If Fellow Daoist White hadn’t tripped and had the traps and hidden mechanisms activated, perhaps the situation of our group would’ve been even worse."

"Yes, my father was of the same mind. He said that we got really lucky that Senior White suddenly stumbled back then," Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather added.

Therefore, Venerable White suddenly stumbling and falling to the ground was actually a heaven-sent gift that saved the whole group?

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: "Senior White’s luck is incredible!"

At the same time, he selected the :senior_white_bless: emote from the ’Senior White’s expression package’ and carefully saved it.

He was planning to keep this picture close to him until he was done breaking through to the Sixth Stage Realm. Who knew, perhaps he might receive Senior White’s blessing and advance in realm more easily with this picture at hand?

Afterward, the group was completely flooded with the sentence ’Senior White’s luck is incredible’.

After a short while, Fairy Firefly popped up and wrote: " @Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman, little friend Song Shuhang, how come you haven’t returned home yet? I’ve been waiting for you at your place for more than half a day! I can’t bear it anymoreeeee!"

Right at this time, Song Shuhang was lying on the back of the silver dragon puppet; he looked very pale.

Due to his acrophobia flaring up more and more frequently, he was having trouble controlling the silver dragon puppet. Therefore, he made up his mind and decided to let Yu Jiaojiao control the puppet for the time being.

Amongst the people on the scene, Guoguo was too small, and Li Yinzhu’s state of mind wasn’t too stable. Therefore, there was only Yu Jiaojiao left that could control the puppet.

However... Song Shuhang quickly regretted making this decision.

It was said that a tiger could not beget a dog... and a flood dragon couldn’t beget a weak daughter, either.

This was more or less the meaning.

Yu Jiaojiao was True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon’s daughter, the winner of the first session of the hand-guided tractor competition of the world of cultivators. Therefore, she was very talented and enthusiastic when it came to driving vehicles and racing on the road...

As soon as her small claws grabbed the reins of the silver puppet dragon, she changed into a completely different person.

Her eyesight sharpened and killing intent flashed through her small eyes.

An indomitable aura was surging on her whole body, ready to slay gods and devils alike if they were to block her path!

The speed of the silver dragon puppet was pushed to the limit and reached supersonic speed in a split second!
