"Take it out and put it on the ground." Shen Hao said with a half-smile.
The "dog" turned his head and glanced at Shen Hao without any hesitation. He moved closer to the box and stuck his head in. He didn't seem to care about Shen Hao's teasing.
First, he took out the two jade bottles and placed them on the ground two feet in front of Shen Hao. Then came the jade slip with an animal head and a fish tail, also placed in front of Shen Hao.
However, the thick stack of jade books is a bit troublesome. It is almost impossible for a dog to pick it up, and it is easy to bite the jade books into pieces if it is pushed too hard.
"Woof woof..."
Helplessness flashed in the "dog's" eyes, and he looked at Shen Hao again, saying that he could not take out the jade book.
Without saying much, Shen Hao pulled out the Yanji knife from his waist and cut through the box with one stroke. Like peeling tofu, the copper box was chopped into pieces, leaving only a pile of jade albums stacked inside unscathed.
Shen Hao looked at it and took two steps forward, as if he was about to reach for the pile of jade albums. The "dog" was behind Shen Hao, and there was a glint in the "dog's" eyes. , with a strong meaning of cruelty, as if waiting for Shen Hao to make a move on the pile of jade books.
But at this moment, Shen Hao's teasing voice suddenly sounded: "You really want me to move this pile of jade albums, right?"
"Woo..."
"There should be a killing move hidden under this jade book. Let me guess, it's either a poisonous miasma, or some kind of high-grade assassination weapon? Right? What a pity. Do you think I would risk my life to touch something that I simply can't do?" Isn’t it something you don’t understand? Besides, it’s your secret treasure?”
A secret treasure can be called a "secret treasure". It belongs to the most private place of an individual. How could there be no countermeasures? For Shen Hao to be able to survive in the Xuanqing Guard for so long, he must be cautious. He is just waiting to see how Li Xinghe plans to act.
Now it seems that Li Xinghe's performance is just average, and the layout of this secret has not changed much. But think about it, the location of this secret is already secret enough, and it is almost impossible to find it under ordinary circumstances.
With a thought in his mind, Shen Hao activated his soul power and attached it to the "dog", turning the dog into a puppet and controlling it, slowly approaching the pile of jade books on the stone platform. And he himself retreated.
At this time, the "dog"'s eyes were full of despair.
Just as Shen Hao guessed, what was placed under the jade book was a high-grade assassination weapon. It was also a poisonous miasma weapon that could instantly erode the power of all monks below the Xuanhai realm at close range. The soul can be melted, and the effect of instant kill can be almost achieved without defense or special means to block.
This is the only reason why Li Xinghe still hasn't given up hope even though his soul is lingering in the dog's body. He just hoped that Shen Hao could relax his vigilance even a little bit in the end and die under the attack of this mechanism, so that he could be truly rescued. As for expecting Shen Hao to fulfill his promise, Li Xinghe never thought about it. It would have been impossible for Shen Hao to survive.
Unfortunately, everything was in vain now. Under the cover of soul power, Li Xinghe's broken body and soul had no room for resistance at all. He could only watch as he was manipulated like a puppet.
Shen Hao did not think about the mechanism, nor did he want Li Xinghe to voluntarily unravel the murderous intention under the jade books. Everyone has reached this point. It can be said that the picture is so poor that you can’t see it. What else can you say? Li Xinghe is not a fool, and neither is Shen Hao. The matter of life and death has been decided at this point.
"Crack!"
At the same time as the machine made a faint sound, a cloud of poisonous miasma spurted out. In an instant, it enveloped the entire pile of jade books in a radius of about ten feet. The erosion was so fast that even Shen Hao, who was concentrating on it, felt a little caught off guard. Fortunately, he was far away, still several feet away from the scope of the poisonous miasma. He stepped back a few steps and watched quietly.
Ordinary poisonous miasma will cause very little harm to monks in the Yuan Dan realm, and may even be ignored. The poisonous miasma that can pose a fatal threat to the Yuandan realm are special poisonous miasma mixed with alchemy methods. Those poisonous miasma will be mixed with the power of magical weapons, just like the one in front of you.
However, because this special poisonous miasma is not naturally generated, it cannot remain for a long time after being released. In addition, Shen Hao stirred up the air in the cave to lift up the dispersing poisonous miasma. It only took half a stick of incense. The remnants of the poisonous miasma will be gone.
What was left was a dog corpse scattered on the stone platform. Except for the bones, all flesh and fur were missing.
Shen Hao felt it clearly just now, and he also understood that Li Xinghe was definitely dead this time. Because the soul power wrapped around the opponent's body was instantly eroded and dissolved, not to mention the remnant soul of Li Xinghe inside?
However, this also gave Shen Hao an insight, that is, his soul power would be directly dissolved as soul energy in the face of a special poisonous miasma. This was something he hadn't thought of before.
When the mechanisms are gone, what's left is the harvest.
He waved his hand and raised the bones on the stone platform. The jade book beside it was not damaged by the poisonous miasma. No wonder the items in this box are all made of jade. There must be precautions in this regard.
The two jade bottles contained elixirs as Shen Hao had guessed, but they were not the ordinary training aids he knew. They should be the unique elixirs of the Beast Control School. The jade book is also full of techniques for controlling beasts. The jade slips have not been refined yet and the contents are unknown.
Finally, Shen Hao carefully searched the cave again and found nothing else, so he returned along the way he came.
After returning to the mansion, Shen Hao began to take advantage of his official duties to read through the spells and techniques in the jade book. He had not thought of practicing the Beast Controlling School for the time being, but he was curious about what was so magical about the Beast Controlling School. Especially the method of inhabiting the body of a beast while retaining most of the consciousness with one's own remnant soul is extremely weird. Shen Hao wanted to know how this was done.
In addition, Shen Hao was also curious about how Li Xinghe increased his soul strength, and it was actually on par with his soul strength. You must know that Shen Hao's soul strength was slowly accumulated by pushing against the ceiling and breaking through each small realm. , Li Xinghe has absolutely no such possibility, there must be other methods similar to specializing in souls. This is what Shen Hao wants to know.
However, the opening chapter of the jade book surprised Shen Hao. Because the beginning of the chapter turned out to be about the refining methods of some evil things, and the techniques involved were not the beast-controlling or five-element attributes that Shen Hao thought.
"This... seems familiar?" Shen Hao murmured in his heart.
Not only does it look familiar, but according to the description in the jade book, one of the items is almost indistinguishable from the Yin Tofu that evil monks like to brew.
Don't think too much about this, it must be the method of evil monks. What is the relationship between the beast-controlling school and evil monks? Could this also be involved?
So Shen Hao became more interested in the contents of the next jade book.
