Volume 1, Chapter 40: A Fool's Errand!

With that, the communication was cut off, and the self-destruct module of the device was activated once again.

Thirdly, the current burial site is most likely not the original one. When Yan Li first died, there might have been something significant about the initial location. It is probable that some disturbance occurred, prompting the residents of Jingjiajiao Village to hire a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, exhume the body, and rebury it elsewhere.

In the animal kingdom, especially among those living in the jungle, creatures enjoy the purest spiritual energy, spending their days doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and absorbing that essence.

From those two Flame Demons, it sensed a hint of danger; furthermore, under the shroud of the chilling aura, its body began to stiffen.

Patting Yi Haojie on the shoulder in a friendly manner and praising his military prowess, Fu Qingyun led Yi Haojie to the main camp to find Legion Commander Nangong Bo. After presenting his plan to Nangong Bo, he requested that the commander borrow troops from the Governor.

After being thoroughly searched, the security team here quickly confirmed her identity. Her superior, Lin Jiyeva, was then summoned to verify her, at which point the restraints on her hands were finally undone, and her dislocated arm was reset.

Since their awakening, Force-users have effectively undergone an evolutionary mutation compared to ordinary people. Some of their physical characteristics differ from the norm—such as the color of their blood or the position and number of their internal organs—manifesting in a myriad of strange ways.

After all, this blade imprint was infused with almost the entirety of Meng Qiandao’s strength. Having it slam into Xing Chen’s fist, the latter naturally found it quite difficult to endure.

The two rushed toward the restroom, only to find the door locked from the inside. Strands of sinister aura seeped out from the cracks, accompanied by a heavy, metallic scent of blood.

The test sphere is the sturdiest object there is; in all his years, Old Man Baimei had only ever seen the girl Chang Le destroy one.

"That lord?" Jotaro’s eyes narrowed. Further talk was useless; perhaps only by defeating his opponent could the situation be truly assessed.

His attire was quite solemn, consisting of a fifth-rank Great Qian dynasty black ceremonial robe, adorned with five tassels, a blue jacket, a red skirt, and a headpiece decorated with a tree crown.

The Brave Cavalry Battalion, with fewer than three thousand mounted troops, defeated seven thousand Xiongnu barbarians. With the equipment on both sides being comparable, the outcome was ultimately decided by the leadership’s example, the unit’s morale, and their desperate will to fight to the death.

Following Prince Lou’s decree and the murder of Jiang De, Ya Tou and Jiang Daorong deduced the cause of the incident. Now, they could only wait to see how Prince Lou intended to treat them.

Morofushi Hiromitsu was highly capable, and having been by his side for so many years, the two of them had developed a tacit understanding.

Guests at the Cold Treasure Pavilion were gossiping about the sudden death of the enemy crown prince. Xia Zhenzhen saw that upon hearing this, Qingfeng dropped her bowl, which shattered into pieces on the floor.

The moonlight was enchanting, the stars twinkled, and a crescent moon hung in the night sky like a jewel suspended from the tip of a tower.

The fish fingers were fried to a golden, crispy perfection. One bite revealed a tender interior, with juices faintly spurting out to blend perfectly with the fresh fish meat—smooth, delicate, and rich in flavor. It really tasted quite good.

It turned out that when Zhang Gui’er ran back to the village that night and struck the bronze bell at the entrance to sound the alarm, the village head led the skilled hunters out to save the victims. Pucao was lucky; before the black bear could bite down, Liu Housheng shot it in the heart with an arrow, just barely managing to rescue her.

"Yes, I am Cherry, the rotten ghost you were just talking about—Cherry." Cherry intentionally grinned, revealing a sinister smile that sent Lu Aifen scurrying behind Ding Juhua in terror.

Although Ling Tian was also gifted, compared to Ling Yun, he was like heaven and earth. There was simply no comparison.

As for the Yue family, after a few days of gloomy depression, a "peach blossom wind" began to blow through the house. In just a few days, matchmakers came in an endless stream, with some even offering to broker marriages between two families at once.

The system prompt echoed in Ling Yun’s mind again; it was demanding that he reshape this continent, with a deadline of thirty years.

After collecting the medicine, Lan Rui continued her experiment. Meanwhile, Jin had finished hers and was sitting at the desk organizing her experimental notes.

Ziyun listened to Ying’er’s master and agreed that the problem existed, but if one remained here forever without being able to move, wouldn't one be like a living dead person? What difference would there be between living and dying?

After Ye Zi left, Gao Peng opened his desk drawer to reveal a delicate gift box. He slowly lifted the lid, revealing a butterfly hair clip that looked as if it were about to take flight.

"Absolutely. Don't worry, Senior Brother Gao, the safety of the two senior sisters is on me." Lu Tao fawned over Gao Peng.

The black shadow’s eyes flickered. In the faint light of dawn, one could only see that his face was covered in a black veil, making his features indistinguishable. Yet, Cherry had always felt that his voice and the scent he carried were familiar.

Although He Rong’s fighting skills were not a match for Chen Wu, he was still an expert capable of taking on ten men at once, known not only for his ruthless methods but also for his ferocity.

Those Longhu Mountain disciples were filled with horror; they had thought their death was certain, yet the once-arrogant disciples of the Corpse Transformation Valley were all dead.

The off-road vehicle bounced along incessantly, the front end rising and falling as the body tilted from side to side, nearly scaring the wits out of everyone inside.

"Understood." Zhong Wei replied, then gave a few instructions to Liang Zhaohui, who immediately headed downstairs.

Chen Zihao chuckled, greeted the others, and walked straight toward Gu Wanning.

"I just said it! We will take eighty percent of that silver mine, and you get twenty! We will handle the rebellion in Ezo for you, and we will take full responsibility for the entire north!" Zuo Maodi declared with a flourish.
