Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 476: Soul Bag

Xia Mian had a faint smile on her lips, "Anything that requires the ashes of a soul to activate is naturally nothing good."

Xie Chengming fell silent; Xia Mian had her reasons for doing things.

Since Xia Mian knew this thing seemed ominous but still decided to extract it, she must have her plan.

Xia Mian controlled the barrier to stop before the glowing object.

Now, only a barrier separated them from that thing.

It seemed to sense someone approaching, and the object’s glow became even more dazzling.

It was as if it was deliberately tempting someone to take it.

Xia Mian tried to create a hole in the barrier and bring the object inside.

But, as soon as the barrier thinned slightly, the outside pressure surged at the weakened spot.

If Xia Mian reached out for the object, the foulness outside would pour in from where she extended her hand.

"Let me." As Lu Zechuan spoke, he flicked his fingers gently.

In this grimy place, surprisingly, green vines began to coil around the object.

Then, the green vines lifted the barrier, dragging the object slowly upward.

Ten minutes later, they emerged from the soft ground.

The green vines were tightly wrapped around the glowing white object.

The little old man who had possessed Xie Chengming said this thing was called Earth Treasure.

Xia Mian squinted as she looked; its shape somewhat resembled Sang Huang.

However, its texture was lustrous, like jade.

Xia Mian extended her hand, and the white object slowly drifted onto her palm.

At the moment it touched Xia Mian’s palm, a powerful suction force erupted from the object.

Even with Xia Mian’s strong soul body, she felt her soul being pulled as if it were about to leave her body.

Xia Mian’s expression changed, and she immediately tossed the object away.

Yet, at the moment she threw it, she wrapped it in spiritual power to prevent it from falling back into the depths of the quagmire.

Regardless of its unknown nature, an object capable of affecting her soul was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Such an object could barely be considered a treasure.

Seeing Xia Mian’s series of actions, Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What’s wrong?"

"This thing can shake a person’s soul, separating it from the body." Xia Mian’s expression was grave.

Though she had visited the Mystical World numerous times, it was the first time she encountered such an item.

Lu Zechuan pondered for a moment, "This thing seems ominous; I will destroy it."

Saying that, Lu Zechuan was about to destroy it.

But Xia Mian shook her head, "Don’t rush."

"Let’s try once more." After speaking, Xia Mian took out the Cat Claw Jade.

For some reason, although these two items didn’t look similar, Xia Mian felt they were essentially the same.

As soon as Xia Mian took out the Cat Claw Jade, it emitted a soft white glow.

This white glow was even stronger than the "Sang Huang."

"Sang Huang" seemed to sense a kindred presence and began to slowly approach the Cat Claw Jade.

At the moment "Sang Huang" and the Cat Claw Jade touched, it was like two water-laden balloons bursting instantly, and the dark place was flooded with light!

The light, tangible as if breaking through layers of darkness, shone through.

Outside, light seeped in, causing the monster to emit a piercing shriek as if injured!

Immediately, the ground shook again, and the world spun!

Lu Zechuan held Xia Mian tightly in his arms, while Xia Mian grabbed Xie Chengming.

"Let’s get out!" Lu Zechuan whispered, then dashed toward the place where the light was seeping.

Just as they charged out, Xia Mian reached out and beckoned the Cat Claw Jade.

The Cat Claw Jade swiftly followed Xia Mian out.

The "Sang Huang," in tune with the Cat Claw Jade’s aura, also chased after it.

As Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian emerged, they finally understood the immense size of the monster.

Standing at the monster’s feet, they seemed like ants.

The Divine Clan Guards on the monster’s body saw Xia Mian successfully escape from inside the creature, and their faces lit up with joy.

However, before they could fully express their delight, the monster collapsed with a thunderous roar.

As it hit the ground, there was an earth-shattering boom!

Caught off guard, all the Divine Clan Guards were flung away.

In that split second of being flung, everyone began to unleash their entire repertoire of magic, striving to distance themselves from the monster...

Though the monster wasn’t terribly damaging, getting crushed by it could very well be a death sentence.

The monster lay on the ground, gradually returning to the form Xia Mian and the others first encountered it.

Still resembling a forest, but now, every ancient tree had facial features.

Each face on the ancient trees now glared viciously at Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan, and the others.

"Return it to me." The thunderous roar echoed from all directions, "Give it back to me!"

The green monster seemed to roar, but the "Sang Huang" and Cat Claw Jade seemed to have severely injured it, leaving it unable to transform.

Xia Mian glanced at the Ancient Wood Forest, flicking her finger.

A ball of bright yellow flame landed on the forest canopy.

Though it was a Secret Realm, rarely visited, should anyone stumble in, chances were they’d meet their demise.

As such, this thing hardly warranted existence.

With that ball of bright yellow flame igniting the treetops, the ancient trees began to burn.

The wailing of the ancient wood beast was eerie and tragic, unfortunately, it was too gravely wounded to even move.

These intruders had stolen its soul bag!

Years of rigorous training, now all in vain!

The beast’s mournful cries reverberated throughout the Secret Realm.

Some Divine Clan Guards, lacking in cultivation, were already vomiting blood from the commotion.

Without hesitating, Xia Mian sternly shouted, "Go!"

No one lingered a second longer, immediately following Xia Mian, sprinting toward the exit.

In utter frustration, the beast, despite its entire body being pierced with pain, managed to stand at the last moment and gave chase step by step.

Given its massive size, each step shook the earth, slightly affecting everyone.

Lu Zechuan frowned deeply, with slight movements of his fingers, and the grass beneath the monster’s feet sprang to life, merging with it and tightly binding its large foot.

The monster, severely wounded, couldn’t break free due to Lu Zechuan’s vine manipulation with the added magic of the Wood Clan.

The flames Xia Mian earlier flicked upon it blazed ever brighter, turning some of its body to ashes.

The beast’s cries grew increasingly tormented.

Yet Xia Mian and the others didn’t look back, swiftly flying toward the entrance.

Following her, the Cat Claw Jade and "Sang Huang" sped along.
