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

Chapter 978 It would be too formal to say such things.

Everyone in the underground space was looking at Erdan with surprise. Clearly, Erdan's ability to speak was a pleasant surprise for them.

Erdan was also startled by the burp it had just made. Since it became conscious, it had never known what it felt like to be full.

This time, it clearly felt that after eating its fill, its strength was on a completely different level than before.

If I'm not mistaken, it should hatch in about fifty years.

The monster inside the jar has stopped making noise.

The black mist seeping from the crack in the jar stopped escaping after Erdan stopped burping and swallowing.

Xuan Chu glanced at Long Ling, his tone somewhat puzzled: "Was that monster in the jar completely devoured by Erdan?"

If that's the case, then Erdan's role might be even more significant than he imagined.

Long Ling replied irritably, "If you want to know, just go and see for yourself!"

Anyway, now that Erdan is around, they are not as afraid of the monster in the jar as before.

Whether Erdan was full or not was not within their consideration.

If the monsters inside the jar are lying dormant, deliberately pretending to be dead, waiting for them to come and check before attacking them.

Then we'll just throw Erdan over there!
Having eaten and drunk its fill, Erdan was unaware that after demonstrating its usefulness, what awaited it in the future was even more exploitative manipulation.

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

The blackish mud around the jar has been cleaned off.

Mo Zhi emerged from the jade pendant again. She had hidden herself before, but now she felt a little embarrassed.

And so, they quickly came out to salvage the situation.

Fortunately, neither Xuan Chu nor Long Ling paid much attention to Mo Zhi's cowardice.

As long as Mo Zhi doesn't betray them halfway through, nothing else matters.

Seeing that Xuan Chu had gone to check on the matter of the jar, Mo Zhi immediately lit up the golden light of merit around her as a light source.

This would allow Xuan Chu to see the patterns around the jar more clearly.

As he looked at them, Xuan Chu's gaze became somewhat strange, as if he were completely absorbed in the patterns.

Mo Zhi had been watching from the side the whole time, and noticed that something was wrong with Xuan Chu.

She reached out and nudged Xuan Chu: "Xuan Chu, what's wrong?"

Mo Zhi's voice made Long Ling, who was sitting on the ground, realize that something was wrong. She immediately stood up and walked towards Xuan Chu.

Long Ling grabbed Xuan Chu and saw a strange emptiness in Xuan Chu's eyes.

Almost instantly, Long Ling struck Xuan Chu on the back with a palm strike.

His tone was extremely angry: "You bastard, how dare you steal my body without me even noticing! You're asking for death!"

No one expected that Xuan Chu's careful examination of the patterns on the jar would give the lurking monster inside it an opportunity to possess him.

"puff!"

Xuan Chu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned noticeably paler.

Although he looked rather miserable, thankfully, Xuan Chu's expression returned to normal.

At the same moment, a black sphere was ejected from Xuan Chu's body.

Originally floating in mid-air and digesting, Erdan suddenly burst into golden light and collided directly with the black sphere.

In an instant, the entire underground space began to shake.

If it weren't for this place, it would have been incorporated into Mo Zhi's ghost domain long ago, and by now, this place would probably have collapsed.

However, the collision between Erdan and the black sphere did have some force. The Ghost Realm was shaken, and Mo Zhi's already semi-solidified body began to twist, remaining distorted for quite some time.

The moment the tremors stopped, Erdan's size had increased even further.

The huge, incredibly sturdy jar shattered into pieces with a loud crash.

Xuan Chu: ...

Dragon Spirit: ...

Therefore, this jar was never anything special from beginning to end; its previous incredible hardness was due to the monster inside.

When the monster completely disappeared, the jar lost its supporting force and shattered.

Probably no one expected that this crisis would come and go so quickly.

Long Ling glanced at Xuan Chu, whose face was somewhat pale: "How are you?"

Others might not understand what it's like to be possessed.

However, Long Ling knew perfectly well what had happened to the Palace Master of the Gu God Palace when he possessed him.

Xuan Chu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Long Ling: "It's nothing. Thank you so much for your help before. I never expected to be ambushed like this."

It's really not Xuan Chu's fault for being careless.

Who would have thought that the monster inside the jar would have the idea of ​​possessing someone else's body, taking advantage of the moment he was examining the patterns to try and possess him?

However, he is bound by the Heavenly Dao's restrictions; his body can die, and his soul can be destroyed.

Even if someone were to possess his body, the body would be unusable due to the Heavenly Dao's restrictions.

It might even become a vessel to imprison those who possess another's body.

Long Ling's palm strike actually saved him.

Hearing Xuan Chu's sincerity, Long Ling waved her hand dismissively: "We're all on the same side, there's no need to be so formal."

Xuan Chu reached out and took out some medicine to treat his injuries. After taking a few pills, the pain in his body immediately lessened considerably.

Having already eaten his fill, Erdan devoured the monster's essence once more and then fell into a deep sleep.

A barrier of light appeared around the egg.

"What's wrong with Erdan?"

Long Ling went forward to check and confirmed that the creature inside the eggshell was still alive.

Then he said, "It should be that the energy is too much and needs time to digest, just like other Xuan Masters need to go into seclusion."

As she spoke, Long Ling reached out, intending to put Erdan away.

As a result, the moment his hand touched the outer edge of Erdan's halo, it felt like it had been burned.

"hiss!"

Long Ling looked at her hands; they were a little red.

This immediately made Long Ling's eyes show a look of disbelief.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Erdan's protective mechanism to be so strong, managing to burn his scale-covered hand like this.

This was only because Erdan had no ill intentions towards him; if it were any other stranger, they would dare to reach out and touch him.

It would probably be burned to ashes immediately.

The little paper doll looked at Long Ling's hand, then at Er Dan, and it was also a little curious.

Approaching directly into the protective aura of Erdan, a burning sensation made the little paper figure stop in its tracks.
