The skull regretted the death of Puppet Ancestor. Seeing that Jing Yingrong was still looking through the records and experiences left by Puppet Ancestor, he took the opportunity to ask, "Are you also interested?"
Jing Yingrong: "He has unique insights into the mysteries of the human body, which is valuable knowledge."
After speaking, she brushed her sleeves and put away the pages and jade slips.
The skull hesitated to speak.
Jing Yingrong: "Can't I take it away?"
The skull laughed twice and said, "Nothing is impossible for you."
Jing Yingrong: "Oh."
The skull endured, but couldn't help but whispered: "I wanted to wait for someone who was interested in this way to inherit his research..."
Jing Yingrong: "Doesn't the puppet ancestor have any descendants?"
Skull: "Successor? When he was here, I never saw him accepting disciples. Even every time he went to steal the untransformed corpses from the ghost vines, he did it alone. As for whether he had any problems after he went to the Rotten Bone Swamp Accepting another disciple, according to my guess, probably not. This person is suspicious by nature, and he doesn’t trust anyone except his ‘family’.”
"family?"
"Your Excellency also saw the two rotting corpses in his bedroom."
"Are those his parents?"
"He regards them as his parents," the skull smiled hoarsely, with a hint of sarcasm. "He also regards the puppets he made as his brothers and sisters. Whenever he has some secrets or private matters, he will only keep these things with him." The family's telling."
Jing Yingrong nodded.
Skull: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Ji Yanzhu said before Jing Yingrong could answer, "Are you going to chase people away?"
It was smiling, sounding lively and innocent, with a little bit of expectation.
"No, no."
The skull denied calmly and said in a rather sincere tone: "You are so powerful, but you are still willing to give me a little favor and did not interfere with Gui Teng's 'hunting', which shows that you are a well-informed and knowledgeable person. Therefore, I think Make friends with Your Excellency.”
Jing Yingrong: "I'm not giving you thin noodles."
Skull: "..."
"The word 'informed and knowledgeable' has nothing to do with her at all. You think too much." Ji Shajian said unceremoniously.
Jing Yingrong: "Are you speaking for me?"
Ji Sha Jian: "What else?"
Ji Jie Bi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lord of the Dead Sea, I suggest you speak directly, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get the reply you want."
Ji Yanzhu: "Yes, yes, just say that you are interested in our strength and want to be friends with us. We will not laugh at you."
"...Ha, yes, that's the truth."
The skull smiled awkwardly and continued: "If you have other matters in the Sea of Death, you might as well tell me and let me take care of them to save you the trouble of running around."
Jing Yingrong shook his head: "There is nothing else."
The skull breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Yingrong: "Did your master, Lord Barbarian Bone Daoist, leave any body behind?"
The skull said calmly: "No, all his flesh and bones were devoured by me, and not a single hair was left."
Ji Sha Jian: "How did you come up with the idea of backlash?"
"When I found that his power was not enough to completely control me, I naturally wanted to turn against him."
The skull's tone was as calm as if he was saying something natural. It then thought of something and said with a sense of mockery: "He overestimated his capabilities and actually wanted to create a Taoist weapon that surpassed the 'mirror'. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use several of his apprentices as casting materials. As a result, he became me." Part of the true body. After all, I have reunited their master and disciple."
Jing Yingrong: "..."
Skull: "By the way, I have a gracious request. If there is a chance in the future, can you let me see the true face of the Mirror?"
Jing Yingrong: "..."
"There will be opportunities, there will be." Ji Jie Penin smiled.
Ji Shajian looked at the mirror and said, "I think we can go."
"Um."
Jing Yingrong's figure flashed and disappeared from the room. The skull was stunned for a moment and then disappeared.
Mirror Yingrong appeared above the vines that had entered the cave previously.
She cast her gaze in a certain direction. In the thick purple sea water, a blue light loomed in the distance.
Compared to before, the blue halo was much dimmer, like a flame in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
This was indeed the case. Not only had the ball of light shrunk several times, it had also been drilled through by several ghost vines. Fine cracks spread across its surface and it was already crumbling.
The woman who was blindfolded by the brocade still looked so at ease, except for her face being a little pale, and her expression almost unchanged, as if she couldn't feel the pain caused by the ghost vines that wrapped around most of her body.
Ji Yanzhu: "You clearly told her the solution. It's not like she doesn't know the secret method. Why doesn't she save herself?"
Ji Jie Bi: "Is it possible that there is something wrong with Tian Chan Que's Changsheng Pond?"
Jing Yingrong did not answer. She raised her head slightly and looked upward.
A tiger roar came from an extremely distant place.
The tiger's roar was vaguely audible at first, but in an instant it became deafening, shaking the whole world.
The energy contained in the roar made the sea water tremble, and countless ghost vines bounced from the bottom of the sea, whipping wildly, turning the Dead Sea into a turbid mess.
Jing Yingrong: "Aren't you going to stop it?"
The skull appeared beside her, silent.
At the same time, the woman sighed inaudibly.
In the turbid deep purple above, two lights suddenly lit up.
The light was a strange light brown, bright and cold, as if there was no temperature, and the fire core was black, making it even more cold.
The lights grew from small to large, and through the snarling ghost vines, people could finally see clearly——
This is a pair of beast eyes.
The creature with these beast eyes is a huge monster. It has shiny black fur with beautiful golden markings. Under the fur, there are strong muscles that rise with movement.
"Roar!!!"
The monster opened its mouth wide, and its roar was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the sea. With a casual slap of his huge forepaw, he snapped off countless attacking ghost vines.
The monster stepped on the sea water and ran straight towards the woman. It was clearly in the sea, but it seemed to be running through the mountains and forests, as fast as wind and thunder, and unstoppable.
The ghost vines that were originally wrapped in the ball of light were all attracted by the monster, but the ghost vine that had pierced the woman's skin remained unmoved.
The monster came to the woman, opened its mouth, and bit the ghost vine directly with its sharp teeth, and then swallowed the woman whole.
As soon as there was a pause, more ghost vines attacked the monster. The number was so large that it almost enveloped the monster. Its sharp claws expanded, and it used overwhelming force to roughly tear open a gap, allowing it to escape smoothly and return to the sea.
When Jing Yingrong returned to the Dead Sea, she saw the monster opening its mouth and vomiting the woman and the broken ghost vine onto the shore.
The next moment, the monster beast's body glowed with light, and the light continued to shrink and condense, and finally turned into a tall human figure.
