He really wanted to know how someone so oblivious could survive when out training before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were the demons and monsters outside choosing their prey discriminately? Did the strong ones ignore such fools?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Protection Circle. Any creature that fears Heavenly Thunder won’t dare to approach!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yu’s eyes widened immediately. What? Did he have some ear trouble just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a crackling sound suddenly echoed, startling Fang Yu, who was in doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others from the Sihui Sect also swiftly turned their heads to look, and wow, there was now a pool of black substance where they had just stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit frowned slightly. The Host had just left, and he had just finished drawing the Protection Circle, yet these pests were already flocking to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems like some kind of animal, but why does it look so creepy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, those are rats! How can there be rats the size of rabbits? Damn, I’ve got goosebumps all over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few young ones from the Sihui Sect couldn’t hold back and started chattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Jun, however, remained steady and drew out the Retractable Stick he held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood inside the Protection Circle and poked the dark mass fried to death not far away, whose shape could vaguely be made out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a rat. Damn, this Death Mountain sure is eerie, even the four plagues are more exaggerated here than elsewhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was probably attempting a sneak attack on us. Fortunately, we were inside the Protection Circle; otherwise, being bitten would hurt a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about getting bitten by a rat was utterly disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Jun retracted the Retractable Stick, feeling a chill, and was all the more grateful for the Protection Circle that Ginsengfruit drew for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Fruit, you’re too amazing! Thank goodness for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing rabbit-sized rats didn’t give him goosebumps, but now, hearing someone call him Little Fruit indeed made goosebumps rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t lose his temper at them, so he sternly said, \"As long as you don’t leave this circle, there won’t be any danger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yun Ran walked into the little canyon, viewing from the perspective of the Little Paperman in an overlooking angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she entered and saw the scene inside, the situation was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran saw the person sitting at the center area, his clothes covered in thick dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the sacrifice that drained his flesh, from afar, he would look just like a dried-up old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu followed behind Yun Ran until he saw clearly that under the person was a sacrificial array; the seated posture made him look more like a devout believer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the temple master said that the person sacrificed himself by his own will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran took out her phone to record the situation here, as she would need it for reporting back later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temple master, I’ll go check if there’s any clue left on him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran nodded, \"Be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They certainly weren’t the first ones to discover this person, but given that others hadn’t touched him at all, there must be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu took out his Magic Artifact and approached slowly. When he was only a few steps away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suddenly, a terrible stench assaulted him, and Xin Fu immediately did a backflip, dodging the tentacle that emerged without warning from the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when the Little Paperman flew in, it approached this person, and nothing weird happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu’s expression was serious as he hit the tentacle with his Magic Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’bang’ from the collision, Xin Fu was forced back several steps by the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temple master, these tentacles have some Dao progress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Xin Fu quickly drew out a well-regarded sword that Yun Ran had given him as a meeting gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greenish tentacle retreated after repelling Xin Fu but instead stretched further, trying to continue attacking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu swung his sword, slicing through the tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xin Fu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, after he had cut off one tentacle, three more immediately appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were noticeably more flexible than the previous one, as if it was merely probing earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman hovered around Yun Ran, not rushing to help, but vigilantly watching the surroundings with its back to Yun Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran beckoned one of the Little Papermen, \"Go and see if you can lure away one tentacle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman flew over at once. It hadn’t had much chance to fight side by side with Xin Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it flew over to engage the tentacle, Xin Fu coordinated very well with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slap from the Little Paperman, it made a hole in the tentacle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem like such a formidable tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, as the tentacle with the hole withered, three more tentacles extended from another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu chopped down two others, and unsurprisingly, six more immediately grew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xin Fu’s expression grim; facing enemies, he’s not afraid of strong ones, but rather those that can’t be killed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he’s sure that as long as he cuts off one tentacle, extra ones would grow immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t cut them all down like this, and they would only grow more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu heeded Yun Ran’s words, albeit confused, and used his leverage to jump onto a tentacle and retreated back to Yun Ran’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Little Paperman remained within range of the tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, after Xin Fu’s retreat, the tentacles seemed to lose their target,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wriggling aimlessly without approaching the Little Paperman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems these tentacles specifically attack creatures with flesh and blood. They ignore a Magic Artifact with spiritual wisdom like the Little Paperman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xin Fu’s eyes flickered; no wonder the Little Paperman encountered no danger during its reconnaissance, as it didn’t trigger any attacks here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temple master, it seems if we want to take that person’s remains away, it won’t be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles arose from that array; without dealing with them, they couldn’t even approach the person, let alone take him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other cultivators who discovered these must have run into trouble because of this previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing these tentacles only attack flesh and blood, Yun Ran immediately got the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly commanded the Little Paperman, \"Take care of those tentacles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman immediately started gearing up; after all, it was created by its master specifically for tasks, and fighting was certainly part of that work.\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-06T11:49:02.636Z",1,"novelbin.me","18d0ea3864f0a11772e0f8719b13790658512a0cd83142b4e9875b163118734f","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-540","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-538",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
