The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 896 I'll give you a reward! (2 updates)
Yun Ran's voice instantly rose eight octaves: "What did you do!"

The white tiger felt wronged; it hadn't done anything, it had just followed along without even knowing the way.

"I didn't do anything, I just felt itchy all over, like I was covered in hair, you know?"

Yunran: ...

What do you know? She doesn't grow hair. Oh wait, what kind of decent person can even feel the sensation of hair growing?

"I am a human being, thank you!"

"Ouch~ I feel a little uncomfortable, like my skin is cracked~"

The horned serpent also weakly spoke up.

Its skin should have been very tough, but it was tricked by the black panther and suffered residual lightning strikes, yet its skin is still intact.

Now, after crawling around in this tunnel for a while, it felt as if its skin had cracked open and was a little painful.

As it spoke, the horned serpent raised its tail, exposing the skin of its belly.

Yunran initially thought that this was just the horned serpent causing trouble.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true!
The horned serpent had several lacerations on its abdomen, and they looked like they were getting worse.

Yun Ran murmured to herself, "How could this be?"

Immediately afterwards, Yunran looked at the black panther beside her: "What about you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Black Panther was always very patient; its strong, muscular back had several very noticeable scars.

But Black Panther never thought these injuries were that serious.

At this moment, if it weren't for the Demon King and its mortal enemy both saying they felt unwell, it wouldn't have realized that its trembling legs were something worth mentioning.

"My legs feel a little uncomfortable."

Yunran suddenly remembered the first time she was brought in, when she also felt uncomfortable.

However, now, every pore on her body exudes comfort, and she has completely forgotten about it.

"Could there be something wrong with this tunnel? Wait a minute, let me take a look!"

If Yunran felt uncomfortable with the white tiger's roaring, she would most likely think that he was too weak and being pretentious.

However, the fact that these problems have all occurred is no coincidence.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran took out the exquisite little tower that was the main body of the Demon Locking Tower.

The small tower, which had been completely unresponsive, suddenly flickered and emitted some light.

It doesn't look like it's been activated, but rather like it's responding to something.

"Could it be that some power belonging to the Demon-Sealing Tower is hidden inside this tunnel?"

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

The man in black robes can walk through this tunnel, but in all these years, not a single powerful demon has ever come out of it.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Almost all of them who become great demons have gained sentience. Even the most foolish ones shouldn't have been unable to find their way out after hundreds of years.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

This tunnel once contained the power of the Demon-Locking Tower, making it impossible for powerful demons to enter or exit.

No sentient being would willingly accept the fate of being enslaved.

There must have been some powerful demons who tried it back then.

The result was not surprising; without exception, all the great demons who escaped perished.

Especially when I think back to when I first entered the Demon-Sealing Tower, I saw so many powerful demon cores...

Since they weren't even from the same race, Yun Ran wouldn't have felt much sympathy for them.

But now, Yunran really wants to say that those great demons who were tricked by the Demon King are truly miserable.

When Yunran's gaze fell on the white tiger again, it was filled with blatant disdain.

Incidentally, he also revealed his previous guess. Baihu's face turned pale instantly.

He had been trapped before, so he hadn't seen firsthand how miserable the enslaved demons were.
Now that the Demon-Sealing Tower has been contracted by Yun Ran, its remaining power is negligible.

Even powerful demons like the Black Panther and the Horned Serpent reacted so strongly when they entered the tunnel.

It's unimaginable what it would have been like when the Demon-Sealing Tower was at its peak.

Those powerful demons thought they had found a way out, but instead they suffered even more torment.

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly suffocated.

Baihu lowered his head, overwhelmed by guilt and sorrow.

The discomfort he felt before now feels like a boomerang piercing his body.

Even the horned serpent and the black panther remained silent for a long time.

However, they didn't feel sorry for the great demons of the past; they didn't have any sense of shared honor and disgrace.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated all the monsters that trespassed into their territory as food in the first place.

Their submission to the Demon King was merely due to bloodline suppression.

They were just feeling relieved; thankfully, they had been kept outside the restricted area.

Otherwise, they would have truly left not even bone fragments.

The only regrettable thing is that the demon cores left behind by those great demons all ended up in this woman's hands.

If you give them that, they'll definitely advance very quickly.

At that moment, Ginseng Fruit tugged at Yunran's clothes.

"Host, in the underground palace, the bones of an ancient monster have been discovered, along with a spirit that is suspected to be an ancient ferocious beast, which plundered ten years of lifespan from several members of the Special Administration Bureau!"

Yunran, who was already somewhat speechless, heard this news.

At this moment, she was utterly disgusted by the presence of the man in black.

These people have no bottom line; they'll do anything to achieve their goals!

"You guys go back first!"

The white tiger, which had been hanging its head, suddenly looked up at the horned snake and the black leopard.

This place is still somewhat dangerous for powerful demons.

"My Lord Demon King..."

"You're already injured, and who knows what will happen next?"

The usually boisterous White Tiger suddenly felt an increased sense of responsibility.

Many powerful demons died because of his stupidity.

Having never witnessed such harm firsthand, and having personally experienced it, completely changes one's mindset.

The white tiger looked at Yunran, its clear, foolish gaze turning into unwavering resolve.

"I want to go out with you and try it out."

Baihu wasn't sure what he could do right now, but he knew he couldn't back down, at least not now.

He looked at Yunran without saying a word.

The white tiger said again, "I will reward you!"

Although the central area of ​​the Death Mountain had been almost completely ravaged by the black-robed men.

But the Death Mountain is really, really big, and it contains many things that are treasures for humankind.

He wanted to get some help from Yunran.

Although Yunran is also human, Baihu has a gut feeling that she must have a way to give the creatures on this side of the Death Mountain a chance to recuperate and thrive again.
