Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 819 - 817: Anyway, It’s Really Dangerous! (Part 2)

Chapter 819: Chapter 817: Anyway, It’s Really Dangerous! (Part 2)

She had to set the rules for Xie Xuzhi in advance, to avoid being coveted by those who get easily jealous and have no shame.

Xie Xuzhi glanced at the White Tiger and the White Wolf not far away; Yun Ran had never said such things before.

Now, suddenly saying this suggests that Yun Ran saw something profitable in the White Tiger.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t believe that Yun Ran would do something that is thankless.

If anyone else dared to make such demands of Xie Xuzhi, he would definitely say, "it’s faster to daydream."

But when it comes to partners, the attitude is naturally different.

"Okay."

Having gotten what he wanted, Yun Ran immediately put away his previous worthless smile.

Instead, he asked about Xie Xuzhi’s discovery.

"What did you find about this Mystic Iron Gate?"

When they first entered from the Underground Palace, they had seen such a Mystic Iron Gate once before.

At first, Yun Ran was a bit shocked, just thinking that the Black Robed People were indeed quite capable, managing to avoid prying eyes and utilizing such immense human resources to build such an Underground Palace.

However, after knowing that this place was the Demon-locking Tower, Yun Ran felt that he was making a fuss about nothing.

Having the Demon-locking Tower, equivalent to a Divine Artifact, set up home here, it’s no surprise; even if they had to dig through this territory, it wouldn’t be surprising.

"These two Mystic Iron Gates are very similar to the ones we saw before, but with some differences; the patterns on them are different.

A Little Paperman carried me up just now, and I saw that the pattern on top is very similar to what we saw in that big pit over there in the Northeast Snow Mountain.

I suspect that place was also used by the Black Robed People for experiments, but don’t know what happened to make that pit become abandoned.

Yun Ran’s mind suddenly recalled the memories from the Northeast Snow Mountain.

Recalling the Evil God sealed there, the Mountain Spirit nearly dying, the monsters inside the cave, and the Medicine Spring...

Yun Ran suddenly uttered, "Do you think the Black Robed People have many similar strongholds?"

Whether it’s the Five Emperors Mountain or the Northeast Snow Mountain, if it wasn’t for her stumbling upon them, no one might have discovered these places bore traces of the Black Robed People.

Xie Xuzhi’s eyes suddenly darkened.

He has only been at the Special Administration Bureau for a decade or so; all he can see are the pieces of information sent in from various places, and learn about things happening globally from those documents.

The Black Robed People have developed for hundreds of years, and if you haven’t personally been involved, it’s really quite hard to know their movements.

"Later, I will arrange for confidants to re-explore these regions."

Yun Ran didn’t know, at this moment, how much resentment from the Xuan Sect folks her question sparked, wishing to drag the culprit out and beat them to death.

"Master, those mists just spread over here!"

The Little Paperman on guard immediately raised an alarm.

Yun Ran suddenly turned her head to look, and the White Tiger and others quickly stood up, rushing towards the Mystic Iron Gate, as if afraid of being engulfed by the mists.

"We have to go down to the next level; there’s no way back in this Demon-locking Tower, otherwise, how you die is unknown."

Previously, the White Tiger led them out of the mists, but those mists seemed able to recognize the aura of living creatures.

As long as a living creature stays in one place for long, they will spread over, very mysteriously.

Originally wanting to take a rest, Yun Ran could only nod helplessly, "Let’s go."

Of course, it wasn’t Yun Ran’s turn to push open the Mystic Iron Gate; the Little Papermen promptly went forward to push it.

Even the White Tiger wanted to show off more in front of Yun Ran, helping to push the door.

What if this mischievous woman gets happy and picks off another Crystal Stone from its collar?

Yun Ran, however, took out two porcelain bottles from her bag and threw one to Xie Xuzhi.

"Eat one, you’ll resist hunger for a day."

The Ginsengfruit doesn’t need to eat; in other words, only she and Xie Xuzhi, as corporeal beings, need sustenance inside this Demon-locking Tower.

As for the White Tiger and White Wolf, though they are also flesh and blood, being trapped here for so long without dying means they certainly wouldn’t die so easily.

The Little Papermen used all their strength, their faces turned red, and finally pushed the Mystic Iron Gate open.

A low, grinding sound echoed, and Yun Ran finally saw what lay behind the Mystic Iron Gate.

It wasn’t the pitch-black scene imagined; there were intermittent flashes of light inside, looking not very frightening.

Yun Ran directly jumped onto the White Tiger’s back.

Then casually asked, "What level is this behind the gate, what’s its origin?"

White Tiger: ...

If it knew, it wouldn’t have been trapped here for so long, it would’ve escaped already.

However, admitting that would make it seem incompetent, so it chose not to disclose this, taking pride in its smart way of handling it.

"I can’t say, anyway, it’s very dangerous!"

Knowing nothing, but still giving itself a can’t-say excuse, the White Tiger felt all the more clever.

"Useless!"

Although the White Tiger was trying hard to save face, it still got openly despised by Yun Ran.

The group passed through the Mystic Iron Gate.

"Creak," the sound went.

Once everyone crossed the Mystic Iron Gate, it automatically closed.

At the moment of closing, Yun Ran clearly saw the mist that had been spreading toward them retreating rapidly, as if encountering a nemesis.

This situation gave Yun Ran an uneasy premonition.

The Little Paperman led the way, crackling with the sound of thunder, proceeding smoothly without encountering anything strange.

In no time, the Little Paperman flew back.

"Master, the path ahead is endless, and I’ve even seen the mark I made before!"

As the Little Paperman scouted the path, any sign of trouble led directly to releasing Heavenly Thunder.

The marks left by Heavenly Thunder are hard to erase, so when the Little Paperman flew forward and saw the Heavenly Thunder marks on the wall, it flew back to report to its master.

Upon hearing the Little Paperman’s report, Yun Ran slightly furrowed her brows.

When she crafted the Little Paperman, she embedded in them the ability to recognize directions and position themselves.

Even on the vast ocean, without any positioning or navigation, the Little Paperman wouldn’t get lost, much less go in circles.

But now, had it not been for the Little Paperman seeing its own Heavenly Thunder marks, it might not have discovered it was walking the same path repeatedly.

Having a suspicion in mind, Yun Ran took out her Magic Artifact and attacked the wall beside her.
