Chapter 1210 - 1206

The group led by Elder Kang, being the main combat force of Moonlight City, exhibited impressive power when they made a move.

Facing those tentacles that had been obviously knocked down, they clearly had the upper hand.

The three tentacles that seemed about to be done for finally retreated in shame and disappeared underground.

When they left, the sound of the iron chain that used to rattle was no more.

Without that sound lingering, the fear brought by the tentacles naturally diminished a lot.

Elder Kang hid his continuously trembling hands behind his back, so naturally, no one noticed his hands were actually injured.

"These tentacles have been driven back. Now, we just need to repair these roads."

Ginsengfruit instantly understood the implication of these words.

"All the expenses and consumed materials will come from me."

Speaking, Ginsengfruit took out a large stack of High-level Talisman Paper again: "This can be considered my initial deposit."

In other places, so many High-level Talismans might not be easily absorbed by the market, but here in Moonlight City,

there are not only traveling wealthy merchants but also many Dark Masters who are affluent themselves. To them, these High-level Talismans are life-saving tools.

As long as they are available, there are plenty of people wanting to buy them.

Elder Kang originally wanted to reach out and take them, but the scholar-looking man standing next to the City Lord stepped forward first and accepted them.

"Little Fellow Daoist Yun, rest assured, our Moonlight City is honest in our dealings, and the accounts are surely clear."

Ginsengfruit nodded, then deliberately showed a hint of weariness.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then. If there’s anything needed later, just come to the inn to find me. I’m a bit tired now, so I’ll go back to rest."

Having said that, Ginsengfruit ignored the others present, turned around, and left.

Er Dan and the Little Princess Puppet hurriedly followed.

The Dark Night wanted to call Yun Ran back, but before he could, he swallowed his words.

Given the current situation, he probably needed to discuss matters with the higher-ups of Moonlight City first.

The group led by Ginsengfruit reached a street corner where no one was paying attention. He turned to the Little Princess Puppet: "You’re small, slip away first!"

The Little Princess Puppet understood instantly, looked left and right, confirmed no one was watching, and vanished in a flash.

Er Dan was a little unhappy about this. So what if it was bigger? How was it an eyesore? Why should it follow Ginsengfruit back to the inn and draw others’ attention!

Ginsengfruit couldn’t care less about Er Dan’s discontent; he was dissatisfied himself, still remembering how Er Dan had given him a big fall earlier.

Er Dan wanted to resist, wanted to fight Ginsengfruit.

As a result, Ginsengfruit moved faster, instantly grabbed Er Dan’s neck, and easily leaped onto its back.

Leaning forward slightly, he softly warned Er Dan: "Behave yourself, don’t you see that the red clouds on the horizon haven’t dissipated yet!"

Er Dan looked up towards the direction Ginsengfruit pointed and immediately behaved.

Though it couldn’t quite understand why after its aura emanated, the horizon would have those ominous-looking red clouds.

One thing it knew for sure, those red clouds weren’t a good sign.

It certainly wouldn’t foolishly fight Ginsengfruit over a whim and end up falling into a trap.

Er Dan obediently carried Ginsengfruit in the direction of the inn.

Meanwhile, Yun Ran watched as the trap lock opened, revealing a copper mirror that Ginsengfruit had fished out from beneath the pool, only to have a crack suddenly appear in it.

Yun Ran hadn’t even had time to be surprised before the copper mirror she had contracted seemed to be terrified.

Bubbles immediately appeared on the mirror’s surface, then it clattered to the ground.

The whole motion was fluid, without a hitch.

After a while, Yun Ran reacted, realizing that the copper mirror she had bonded with had fainted from shock after witnessing its kind being injured.

Yun Ran: ...

Really, she had learned something new today~

"Click...click click click..."

A sound, as though a jammed mechanism was reactivated, rang. Yun Ran’s gaze shifted away from the copper mirror.

Immediately after, a cloud of dust rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Ran was covered in dust from head to toe.

The whole person appeared exceedingly filthy.

The few pillars standing at the cave entrance emitted a faint glow.

Looking closely, those glows were emanating from the carvings on the pillars.

As she stared, Yun Ran’s eyes seemed to be drawn into a vortex, her once lively, bright eyes becoming dazed.

"Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Yun Ran snapped back to reality, seeing the Little Princess Puppet looking at her with some concern at her feet.

Yun Ran didn’t rush to respond to the Little Princess Puppet, instead, she checked the Magic Artifact she used to keep track of time.

From being mesmerized by the glowing carvings to regaining her senses, it seemed like only a second passed, but in actuality, more than half an hour had gone by.

The feeling was akin to being under general anesthesia for surgery: one moment, consciousness was lost, and the next, she was abruptly awakened, all while a significant amount of time had elapsed in between.

Yun Ran felt a bit speechless, thinking she had been cautious in all things, yet she had inadvertently fallen for a trick.

But the more it was like this, the more curious Yun Ran became about the things inside this cave.

This was just the entrance; the carvings on the pillars were already so powerful, surely the things inside were even more so.

"Master, are you okay~"

The voice of the concerned Little Princess Puppet reached her ears again, and now Yun Ran finally found time to respond.

"I’m fine. Why did you come back?"

The Little Princess Puppet, Ginsengfruit continued to divert others’ attention, allowing it to come back and help.

"Master, I feel that this cave is somewhat strange."

The Little Princess Puppet couldn’t quite explain why; it was just a gut feeling that something wasn’t quite right about this place.
