Chapter 471: The grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue (2/2)
As time pa.s.sed by, the seven people reached the depths of the grave.
”Our luck isn't bad… our journey up until now was very smooth. But the real challenge starts now. We have to be careful,” one of the companions said.
His voice had yet to fade when the sound of an explosion was transmitted from ahead!
Next, Song Shuhang felt a stabbing pain all over his body.
The disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect he was impersonating had been seriously injured by one of the traps of the ancient grave.
Countless sword qi had condensed inside the explosion… piercing the body of the disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect afterward.
However, these innumerable streams of sword qi didn't take the life of this disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect. Instead, they accurately chopped off his four limbs.
All that sword qi acted like a blunt cutting blade and turned him into a human stick.
The pain was unbearable.
”Aaaaaah~” the disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect screamed in pain.
Soon after, his consciousness started to fade… from a side, the screams of his companion was likewise transmitted.
❄️❄️❄️
Has the dream come to an end? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
No… the dream is still going on.
Just as Song Shuhang regained his senses, he discovered that the disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect was lying inside a huge blood pond.
”Don't worry. Your companions brought you here… you're safe now.” A dull robot-like voice echoed.
The disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect opened his eyes and discovered that he was lying inside a huge blood pond.
A blood pond? Isn't this the same blood pond inside that underground smelted cave?
When he raised his eyes, he discovered that there was a guy that resembled a balloon filled with water next to the blood pond. It was currently laughing strangely while looking at him.
Then, the water balloon-like guy moved forward as he wobbled and installed artificial arms and legs on his body.
This water balloon-like fellow was the same as that 'skin puppet' full of blood!
”This outstanding technique comes from the ancient Jet-Black Sect. It will allow you to have legs and arms that are as convenient to use as your previous ones. Moreover, you won't need to worry about having your arms or legs injured anymore.” The skin puppet strangely laughed.
The disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect slightly nodded and didn't move.
”In that case, keep sleeping. Once you wake up, you'll discover that your arms and legs have been restored to what they were before.” The water balloon-like man used a strange tone and said gently, ”And once you wake up… you'll be the master of this smelted cave!”
The voice of the puppet seemed to have the ability to mesmerize others.
The disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect fainted once more.
Song Shuhang had finally understood which dream he had entered… it was the dream of that She Lan he met in the underground smelted cave. The guy that didn't know that his whole body had been changed into that of a puppet.
That skin puppet on a side was the one that secretly transformed She Lan's body into that of a puppet.
It was unknown what was the person behind this skin puppet scheming.
❄️❄️❄️
After an unknown amount of time, that mister called She Lan regained his senses once more.
His eyes started to open slowly… at this time, he was standing in the deepest part of the smelted cave.
In other words, it was the same place where Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, and Liu Jiangyi discovered those human skins getting air-dried when they were plundering the smelted cave.
However, the deepest part of the smelted cave that She Lan saw was a bit different.
Before She Lan started to open his eyes, there was a thick stone gate that slowly descended downward.
Inside the stone gate was concealed a very exquisite wooden puppet.
This wooden puppet was perfectly still and mounted on the wall.
After the stone gate thoroughly descended and closed, a layer of sandy soil covered it, merging it together with the wall of the smelted cave as though they were one ent.i.ty.
At this time, She Lan's body shook.
He had finally regained his consciousness...
