Chapter 214 - The Puppet of Death
" Who are you? " The fake tooth asked.
The other party went silent for a moment, then abruptly asked:
" Ahahaha! Why do you know human language? "
"— — -Are you a human? "
"Doggy, come and save me, if you save me, I'll do everything in my power to help you leave this place."
"That's right, you asked who I am? "
The other party's voice became tense:
"We can't tell you that my enemies will find out as soon as we do."
"Quickly come and find me."
"Please, I beg you, come and save me! "
Fire Fang put his ears to the back of his head and narrowed his eyes.
— — -The other party is too noisy.
As a dog with a keen sense of hearing, he couldn't stand it.
But Fire Fang still kept his mouth open, waiting for the fake tooth to make a decision.
Not too long after.
The fake tooth spoke:
" You should have already seen it, I don't need your help to leave this place."
" If you want me to save you ... "
" At least show a bit of sincerity."
The voice asked:
" What do you want, doggy?"
The fake tooth replied: " I don't know what I want either, but if I can't see your sincerity, I'll leave this city in three minutes."
The voice wasn't angry, instead, it grinned: " What a smart doggy, the smarter you are, the more confident I'll be, so let's do this — — "
A blank card quietly appeared and landed on the ground in front of Fire Fang.
Fire Fang looked down.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the Card:
[Eternal Night Contract]
[1. Both parties must never attack the other party]
[2. Both parties must think of a way to escape from this place, both parties must do everything in their power]
[3. After the one who proposed the Contract is successfully saved, they will do everything in their power to repay the one who saved them]
Fire Fang quickly finished reading, but didn't react at all.
Is the other party sincere enough?
— — -Only the master can judge this.
He sat down and silently waited.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Fire Fang received his answer.
He opened his mouth, crouched down, took the Card in his mouth, and lightly bit it with his fake tooth.
Bam!
The Card disappeared.
— — the Contract had been established!
The voice immediately called out:
" Hurry, the Demon Ants are trying to undo the seal, you must enter the royal palace before they do."
"The palace?" Fire Fang spoke in a human voice. "The palace hasn't been taken over yet?"
"The Devil Clan left not long ago, so they only had time to occupy this city. They haven't completely taken over the Imperial Palace yet." the voice said.
Fire Fang stood up and turned around, looking in the direction of the palace from the top of the tower.
The ants around the palace were piled up like mountains, but they seemed to be blocked by something invisible, unable to enter.
Only a few ants were able to pass through the transparent barrier and wander aimlessly in the palace.
Fire Fang tilted his head and looked at it carefully for a while.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"You know the layout of this palace?" Fake Tooth asked in surprise.
Fire Fang nodded, then shook its head and said, "Awooo — woof!"
"You said that such a noble place must have a small door for all kinds of pets to enter and exit?"
"Woof!"
"Then let's hurry up and go!"
Fire Fang ran down the stairs and soon left the tower.
The street was filled with Demonic Ants.
Fire Fang opened its mouth and let the false tooth recite the knowledge about ants.
All the Demonic Ants stood still and silently listened.
This place was very close to the Imperial Palace, so the size and strength of the Demonic Ants here were completely different from the ones on the street outside.
There was a certain type of Demonic Ant that exuded a faint corrosive mist that prevented Fire Fang from getting close and could only take a detour.
After spending three hours, he finally found a spot in front of a palace wall.
— — -It was a hole about half the height of a person.
A group of smaller Demonic Ants were blocking the way, trying to pass through the hole, but every time they got close, they would be pushed back by an invisible force.
Fire Fang crawled under the Demonic Ants' long limbs, reached the front of the hole, and barked.
— — -This time, it was his own voice.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[You've used the Demon Pet Spell; you've been allowed to pass through this hole]
Fire Fang turned around to look at the Demonic Ants with a look of disdain.
— — -they won't even enter the passage for high-level pets, these Evernight creatures are truly a bunch of country bumpkins.
It turned around and walked into the hole with its head held high.
After going through a relatively short passage, which was extremely narrow at first, it finally passed through.
After a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.
— — I've entered the palace!
The voice immediately called out: "That's great, you're here! Quickly head towards the Southeast direction, there's an empty side hall here, I'll wait for you there!"
Fire Fang identified the direction and quickly ran, quickly passing through rows upon rows of luxurious buildings and arriving at the Southeast side hall.
The door to the side hall was wide open, there were various boxes and containers inside, but they were all empty.
"Woof — — awoo awoo — —" Fire Fang muttered.
"Is it a treasure vault ... I got it." Fake Tooth whispered.
Fire Fang quickly ran into the hall and ran back and forth.
— — -but didn't find anything.
"Awoo?" Fire Fang questioned.
The voice called out again: " It's like this, you have to find me — — - only then can I follow you."
"Awoo! Awoo awoo! Awoo awoo! "Fire Fang angrily roared.
The voice helplessly replied: "I know this isn't the time for hide-and-seek, but you have to find me before I can show myself — — - this is the rule of the Mystics, I can't do anything about it."
"Awoo?" Fire Fang was surprised.
" That's right, I've been hiding here for so long that even the evil creatures don't know about my existence. But as soon as they left yesterday, the various concealment measures around the palace were removed — — - my enemy immediately sensed me, it's here to kill me!" the voice grudgingly declared.
" If I take you with me, wouldn't your enemy be able to sense you along the way? Then we won't be able to escape." Fake Tooth asked.
" It won't — — it'll be very difficult for it to sense me even once, at least not in the near future. " the voice replied.
It suddenly became anxious and urged: " Hurry and find me! The Demon Ants are about to break through the palace's defenses!"
Fire Fang panicked.
He ran around the entire side hall, but still couldn't find anything, so he decided to find a high place, jumped up, opened his mouth wide, and spun around.
In this way, the fake tooth could see the situation in the hall.
— — -but Fake Tooth also couldn't find anything.
The entire hall was in a mess, and he couldn't find any valuable clues at all.
The voice suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
" Doggy, there's a tooth in your mouth — — - why does this tooth have the Title of Naturalist? "
"Awoo! " Fire Fang solemnly replied.
" It's your master? Tsk tsk tsk, I can't actually see through people's Titles, but this Title is a bit close to me, so I was able to notice it." the voice spoke with an uncertain tone.
There was a moment of silence.
Fake Fang suddenly spoke up: " So that's how it is. Fire Fang, quickly look around and see if there are any books or whatnot in this palace."
" Awoo! "
Fire Fang became excited, jumped down from high up, and looked around again.
Nothing in the chest.
Nothing in the utensils.
Nothing on the shelves.
Everything was empty, there wasn't even a single strand of hair, let alone a book.
Boom — — -
Suddenly, a violent rumbling sound came from outside.
The palace's defenses had been broken through!
"Awoo awoo — — "
Fire Fang became anxious.

In its limited life as a dog, it had never encountered such an urgent and unsolvable situation.
At this time, Fake Tooth calmed down and slowly spoke: " Don't worry, Fire Fang, the places you've searched are all fine, think again, is there any place you haven't searched yet?"
Fire Fang was stunned for a bit, then suddenly looked up.
Only to see a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the palace.
Could it be ...
Fire Fang charged forward, trying his best to jump up.
Unfortunately, the chandelier was too high, even if Fire Fang tried his best, he still couldn't see what was on the chandelier.
" It's over, doggy, we won't make it in time."
The voice regretfully said.
A few Demonic Ants appeared at the entrance of the palace — — -
In a flash, a fake tooth fell out from the level 3 pastoral dog's mouth.
It turned into a human silhouette and soared into the sky, landing lightly on a chandelier.
Liu Ping.
Liu Ping looked around and immediately saw that there seemed to be something on another chandelier not far away.
"Libertas!"
He drew a card and called out.
Bang — — -
Libertas held a dagger and a dagger, flew down, kicked the Demonic Ants at the door, and shouted:
"Quick, I can't hold on for long! "
He took a few bombs from his waist, threw them out with all his might, and then slammed the door shut.
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion outside.
Although this successfully stopped the Demonic Ants, it also attracted more Demonic Ants to the scene.
— — - There's no time!
Liu Ping leaped and landed on the chandelier, quickly inspecting it.
He saw that there were clusters of chandeliers here, it was very beautiful, and there seemed to be something on one of the chandeliers.
— — - It was a palm-sized girl.
She had a pair of dark eyes, and her hair was tied in two ponytails, looking very cute.
In this moment of despair, she held the chain of the chandelier tightly with one hand, and wiped her tears with the other, as if she was sad about her impending fate.
When Liu Ping squatted in front of her, she looked up blankly.
"Eh? You found me! "
The girl smiled through her tears, and stood up happily.
"Yes, I found you — — quick, we have to escape immediately." Liu Ping urged.
"Ah, alright." The young girl stood up, bowed seriously, and said:
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Lilith."
Liu Ping looked at her, only to see a line of words appear on top of her head:
[Death Puppet, Book Spirit, Lilith]
