Chapter 540 - 539: Spitting Electric Sparks
The Little Paperman immediately displayed its ’Hercules’ advantage, with its tiny hands grabbing the randomly twisting tentacles.
Then, with a strong tug, it began spitting out clusters of electric sparks from its mouth, attacking the spot where it broke the tentacle.
Xin Fu’s mouth dropped open; he had always thought the Little Paperman could only shoot electric sparks from its palms, but it turns out it could from its mouth too.
"This reminds me a bit of the pea shooter from video games..."
Yun Ran chuckled. Xin Fu had a good attitude; at this time, he still had the leisure to let his mind wander.
Heavenly Thunder was indeed useful. Tentacles that would double after being slashed or slapped snapped immediately when struck by Heavenly Thunder.
After dealing with these tentacles, the Little Paperman imitated humans, gasping for breath.
If its hands had not been full earlier, it wouldn’t have been willing to spit electric sparks from its mouth.
"Master, those tentacles have all been dealt with cleanly."
Yun Ran nodded, and a talisman appeared out of thin air in her hand, directly striking the person seated on the array.
Crimson flames immediately engulfed that person. Soon, they turned into a pile of ashes.
The Little Paperman hurriedly took out a transparent bag to collect the ashes.
Xin Fu watched Yun Ran’s straightforward and rough way and understood why Yun Ran recorded earlier.
"The bones found in Death Mountain must be burned with fire before they can be taken out. Otherwise, who knows what troublesome things they might be stained with."
This was both an explanation and a hint.
For those close to her, Yun Ran was always patient.
No matter what Xin Fu thought, she had to be clear about her position; she wasn’t cold and heartless but aimed to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Disciples of Qingfeng Temple, who had trained outside, always remembered that whatever is taken back from dangerous or controversial places must be ashes.
Behind every regulation lies a bloody tragedy.
Xin Fu was taken aback, not expecting Yun Ran to say such things.
But he quickly understood why Yun Ran said it and nodded immediately: "Thank you, Temple Master, for the guidance."
He knew the Temple Master was preventing him from future burdens, thus explaining the rules early.
"Yes, go and check other places. If you find the remains of any fellow practitioners, bring them back. Being stuck in such a place easily causes trouble."
According to usual practice, Xuanmen people, even if dead, don’t easily turn into Evil Ghosts.
However, there are exceptions, such as those Xuanmen people killed by Rong Gu, who were raised by her to become more ferocious beings than the Ghost King.
Since Yun Ran entered the small canyon, she hadn’t discovered any souls or anything.
If outside, Yun Ran wouldn’t doubt her senses.
But here, in Death Mountain, she had to be more cautious; her senses failing to perceive doesn’t mean absence.
After pondering, Yun Ran directly took out the Jade Token housing Mo Zhi.
"Quickly come out and get to work!"
Mo Zhi immediately emerged from the Jade Token, having undergone a transformation, now carrying a faint Kingly Aura.
Xin Fu had long known that Yun Ran had a powerful Ghost General by her side but had never seen it.
This was mentioned by Ginsengfruit when introducing Qingfeng Temple members, fearing Xin Fu might be startled suddenly seeing Mo Zhi.
Xin Fu looked over curiously, and just one glance made Xin Fu’s eyes slightly uncomfortable.
He quickly looked away, shocked.
He had seen Ghost Kings before, though difficult to deal with, not enough to make him fear eye contact—is this the difference between a Ghost King and a Ghost General?
Mo Zhi didn’t care about the ’stranger’ beside Yun Ran, gracefully bowing to Yun Ran.
"This humble one greets the Master. What are your orders, Master?"
"Go investigate nearby for any souls, and bring them back if found!"
Mo Zhi nodded: "Yes, Master, this humble one will go now~"
With that said, he floated away.
After splitting up, Yun Ran checked the surroundings, while Xin Fu and the Little Paperman formed an alliance.
Xin Fu acted as bait in front, getting things that attack flesh to move, while the Little Paperman used Heavenly Thunder’s electric sparks from behind to finish them.
Not sure if Yun Ran was lucky, or carried dense Merit energy, with even Qingfeng Temple’s Dao inheritance acknowledged by Heavenly Dao.
Nothing attacked her, yet Xin Fu and the Little Paperman’s combo faced attacks several times and countered successfully.
The remaining killing intents in the small canyon were thus destroyed by Yun Ran and her companions.
The previously lingering mists and clouds dissipated significantly.
Mo Zhi returned, conjuring a golden rope with Merit Golden Light, tying several souls about to dissipate.
"Master, these souls were extracted from a flower’s mouth by this humble one; had they not been discovered, they might have been digested soon."
Yun Ran, looking at the incomplete souls, couldn’t recognize their original forms, frowned involuntarily.
No wonder she couldn’t sense their presence earlier. The weak state, if she were late by a few days, would cause complete dispersal.
"First transfer some yin energy to them, then watch over them!"
Mo Zhi nodded solemnly: "Master rest assured, leave them to me."
Before figuring out whose souls these belonged to, Yun Ran wouldn’t send them to the Ghost World.
Just preparing to turn around, Yun Ran suddenly asked: "What about the flower?"
"I tore it apart. Does the Master want it? I saw a flower bud nearby; shall I pull it up and bring it over?"
Following the Master, Mo Zhi attained opportunities others couldn’t in several lifetimes; he had to be the Master’s first lackey.
"No need, let the Little Paperman go; you focus on watching them."
Mo Zhi felt a bit down, with the Little Paperman around, he could only be the second lackey.
Under Mo Zhi’s guidance, the Little Paperman quickly found the flower bud growing beside rocks.
Strangely, around this flower, not just barren but even the rock’s color nearby differed from others.
If not for the nearby remnants of a flower torn apart by Mo Zhi, this flower bud might grow isolated here.
The Little Paperman reached to pull the flower bud, but the bud twisted its stem to dodge the Little Paperman’s hand.
"Hey, little rascal, daring to play hide and seek with me!"
The Little Paperman got annoyed and swiftly stretched its hand, seeing the situation turn dire, the flower bud severed its stem and ’ran at full speed.’
Then, with a strong tug, it began spitting out clusters of electric sparks from its mouth, attacking the spot where it broke the tentacle.
Xin Fu’s mouth dropped open; he had always thought the Little Paperman could only shoot electric sparks from its palms, but it turns out it could from its mouth too.
