Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling
Chapter 1220 - 1216: Monster Cub
The Little Princess Puppet didn’t conceal anything and recounted in detail the experiences she had gone through with Yun Ran.
Ginsengfruit looked with some shock at the broken tooth on the ground and then took a sharp breath.
Hiss!!!
If it can injure the host, it seems that the monster really has some background.
Ginsengfruit quickly shifted his gaze to the Water Curtain Mirror, wanting to know from the Dragon Spirit what this monster truly was.
As for the secret found in that cave earlier, Ginsengfruit wasn’t that concerned about it.
Dragon Spirit took quite a while to digest and gradually calm down his emotions.
After sitting back down, an obvious look of reminiscence appeared on his face, clearly recalling past events.
"If I remember correctly, it should be over a thousand years ago. At that time, my strength was only considered above average.
Once, I was caught in a massive wave and drifted into another unfamiliar sea region.
That sea region was extremely dangerous and never calm, with the seabed teeming with monsters.
I almost became food for those monsters. Fortunately, I could fly, or else you wouldn’t be seeing me now."
By rights, with thousands of years of memories, most should have slowly faded and vanished for Dragon Spirit.
However, that event stayed with him vividly, as if it was etched into his soul and impossible to forget.
Even though he no longer lived in the sea, just seeing that picture drawn by the Little Princess Puppet brought those memories rushing back.
Dragon Spirit exhaled deeply before continuing: "The monster drawn in the puppet’s picture was actually just a juvenile among the countless monsters in that sea region back then.
All the creatures caught by the currents or storms became food for these monsters.
I even saw countless juveniles devouring mature monsters and those mature monsters devouring isolated juveniles."
Just those few words allowed the people in front of the Water Curtain Mirror to imagine the harsh living conditions in the sea region that Dragon Spirit considered dangerous.
It seemed that in that place, there was only devouring and slaughter; as long as they could survive, any life form would become food.
Dragon Spirit, who once believed he represented cruelty, didn’t realize what true brutal slaughter was until he was inadvertently swept into that sea region.
That was also the only time he was scared out of his wits and hadn’t even touched a scale of those creatures, fleeing in disgrace.
He hid for a full three hundred years before the fears slowly faded.
If before, Dragon Spirit was disdainful of the Divine Hall in this pocket dimension world,
now Dragon Spirit only felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.
"You said that monster and the tentacled monsters beneath Moonlight City were captured by the first City Lord?"
The Little Princess Puppet couldn’t understand Dragon Spirit’s soul-deep terror but answered earnestly.
"Yes, that’s what the murals on the stone wall said. These monsters were the first City Lord’s trump card left for Moonlight City!
If Moonlight City suffered a deadly attack, these monsters would be released, leaving no survivors within a hundred miles."
If this had been said before seeing the monster’s tooth, Dragon Spirit would have sneered, even thinking the first City Lord was bragging!
But now, Dragon Spirit could only say this statement was quite conservative.
Having witnessed the destructive power and slaughter of those monsters, he knew if they were truly released, the destruction would be apocalyptic.
Remembering something, Dragon Spirit quickly asked: "You earlier mentioned a copper mirror that was submerged in the monster’s mouth but was eventually taken by Yun Ran?"
The Little Princess Puppet nodded; the owner’s goal was to find the copper mirror, so taking it was expected, wasn’t it?
Dragon Spirit’s face suddenly changed: "No, that copper mirror might have been used to seal the monster!"
He wasn’t concerned about whether those people lived or died; he was worried the monster might hunt down Yun Ran.
After all, in his memories, those monsters held grudges fiercely!
Yun Ran not only used Heavenly Thunder to break its tooth but also injured it...
At this moment, Dragon Spirit felt his scalp tingle, fearing Yun Ran might accidentally cause a major disaster.
Perhaps Dragon Spirit’s expression was too vivid, making Xuan Chu, who hadn’t spoken, grow nervous too.
"It shouldn’t... it shouldn’t be that bad, right? Didn’t the old ancestors of Qingfeng Temple request that copper mirror? Such immortals couldn’t possibly make such a grave mistake..."
If Yun Ran inadvertently released the monster while collecting those copper mirrors, resulting in countless deaths, such karma was not something anyone could bear.
Not even immortals could handle it, let alone Xuan Chu, who had a natural trust in those from the Qingfeng Temple.
After all, all these individuals had special prohibitions on them; touching such karma would lead to their own swifter deaths.
Dragon Spirit wasn’t listening anymore, standing up once again: "No, I have to go check it out personally!"
Saying so, he turned to look at Xuan Chu: "You continue to keep an eye out here; there are already clues about the Heavenly Book’s whereabouts. Keep following that while I help Yun Ran!"
Dragon Spirit didn’t wait for Xuan Chu’s reply; his form vanished suddenly.
His urgent behavior left those in front of the Water Curtain Mirror quite speechless.
But they also knew they couldn’t restrain Dragon Spirit, so they let him go.
Xuan Chu turned back to meet Ginsengfruit’s gaze: "Keep a close watch over there in Moonlight City; if that monster shows any abnormal movement, notify me immediately!"
Ginsengfruit nodded, then closed the Water Curtain Mirror.
The Little Princess Puppet had wanted to say that the monster seemed very afraid of the array powered by the Moonlight Power.
But at this moment, the Water Curtain Mirror was off, and Dragon Spirit was long gone, so she kept silent.
Er Dan’s mouth was never idle, constantly eating.
Even upon hearing how powerful the monster was, terrifying enough to frighten Dragon Spirit, Er Dan remained indifferent.
The monster’s tooth didn’t seem as dangerous to it as Yun Ran.
’Crunch, crunch...’
Er Dan chewed on an apple, and the crisp sound stood out particularly at that moment.
Perhaps Er Dan’s relaxed demeanor was irritating to some extent.
Ginsengfruit immediately ordered: "Go patrol outside!"
