Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493
In addition, Sun Da Ren had prepared another treasure for the True Self Puppet: Divination.
Four tortoise shells and three beast bones.
After the True Self Puppet stepped across the chasm, it only advanced one step, stopped to pray and calculate. The tortoise shells and beast bones fell to the ground. If there were no prompts, Sun Da Ren would perform divination seven more times. If there were still no prompts, he would take ten steps forward and start the second round of divinations. Thus, it continued until a certain outcome appeared in the divination. Or until the True Self Puppet was completely destroyed by Burning Hillock.
It seemed somewhat like acting shamelessly...
Unexpectedly, the first divination yielded results. The tortoise shells and beast bones shook in the divination bowl, the True Self Puppet squatted down to touch them one by one with its eyes still sealed by the talisman, and finally got the prompt: walk fifteen steps forward and to the left.
Then, the second divination began, and the result was the next instruction: move seventeen and a half steps to the right. Sun Da Ren nodded secretly; his choice was indeed correct. Burning Hillock could communicate!
About half a Shichen later, under the guidance of the divination symbols, the True Self Puppet arrived at a location. After divination, the prompt was: remove the seal from your eyes! Sun Da Ren was overjoyed and manipulated the True Self Puppet to remove the talisman from his eyes, saw his "real self" standing next to a huge anchor-like stone, under his feet were white seashells, each the size of a fist.
Sun Da Ren was quite certain that he had never seen such a place when looking down at the entire Burning Hillock from a higher position.
After arriving here, removing the seal from his eyes, what to do next? Sun Da Ren waited for a while, but nothing changed around him. He took out the tortoise shells and beast bones and performed divination again in confusion...
Suddenly, dozens of deep blue ice pillar-shaped flames gushed out from the ground. Sun Da Ren’s True Self Puppet, a seventh-tier giant, was instantly reduced to ashes with his divination equipment the moment it came into contact with this strange flame!
Sun Da Ren outside the Burning Hillock was dumbfounded: What did it mean? Lure my blind True Self Puppet all the way here, let me remove the seals on my eyes, just to find a suitable place to destroy my puppet in onefell swoop and make me watch with my own eyes, right?
The so-called "communication" was entirely an illusion! They were playing with me!
"Calm down!" Sun Da Ren reminded himself, taking several deep breaths: "Don’t fall for the old bastard’s wicked trick!" It might be hoping for me to rush inside in anger... Sun Da Ren sneered repeatedly: "Hmph, you underestimate me!"
A series of over a dozen True Self Puppets appeared next to Sun Da Ren. He didn’t expect one puppet to succeed when he first made them.
Sun Da Ren waved his hand, and talismans flew out like butterflies, sealing the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth of the True Self Puppet. Although the old bastard was unkind and unrighteous, Sun Da Ren still felt that since he wanted to communicate, respect was necessary. So, he sealed the puppet’s six senses without peeking at Burning Hillock’s secrets before getting permission.
So the second True Self Puppet entered the range of the Burning Hillock... the third... the fourth... the fifth... Sun Da Ren had crafted a total of eighteen seventh-tier True Self Puppets, and soon only the last one was left. Sun Da Ren ached; each puppet was worth a fortune!
In the poor county towns of the Wood Dynasty, selling the whole town would not be enough to exchange for an eighth-tier puppet.
Moreover, Burning Hillock played along with Sun Da Ren each time, and the instructions for the new True Self Puppet were completely different from the previous ones. Also, the method of destruction was always full of novelty! In short, Burning Hillock was full of "sincerity": Sun Da Ren paid the high price for the True Self Puppet, and Burning Hillock ensured he had a new and not-so-pleasant gaming experience.
Under the guidance of the eighteenth True Self Puppet’s divination, it arrived at a bizarre place: the terrain was low, surrounded by towering mountains, and the sky was filled with layers of dark green clouds. The ground was arranged with ancient wells like a chessboard.
The well openings were square, and well water would overflow from time to time because each well’s mouth had a massive Chain Lock that locked up a slightly smaller "Square Wood." These square woods twisted and slapped like Demon Beings in the well water, floating up and down, creating waves of water sounds in the valley and continuously splashing the well water out.
The well water flowed out through the square grooves between the wells, and the clear water turned dark green when it reached the True Self Puppet, so dark that it was difficult to distinguish the green color. Then, the water rose automatically in front of the True Self Puppet, forming a square and complicated character— the True Self Puppet sensed that it was locked by this character, unable to move! Then, the massive character slammed down, and Sun Da Ren had already foreseen that he would "black out" and lose his last True Self Puppet.
However, the large amount of dark green water flowed down from the True Self Puppet, and the talismans sealing the six senses were all taken away, but the True Self Puppet remained unharmed.
Not only that, through the eyes of the True Self Puppet, Sun Da Ren saw the dark green mist rising, making him feel like he was in a massive emerald.
The entire Burning Hillock unveiled a layer of mist in front of him, revealing the hidden truth buried deep within the land!
