Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 488 The Scheme of Lily, the Evil Yapool (Part 1)

There has always been some mystery about the breed of the furry creature.

Although the name "Sea Hound" has been established, no one knows exactly what a Sea Hound is.

The Beast Taming Sect searched through countless ancient texts but found no detailed records of this kind of dog. The only thing they knew was the legend of the sea patrol dog following the Human Emperor into the sea.

But the problem is that Mao Mao is afraid of water.

I was terrified.

So much so that at first everyone suspected it had rabies.

However, after several rounds of expert consultations, the conclusion was that Mao Mao was in excellent health, ate and defecated a lot, and had no problems at all.

Therefore, the matter was shelved and no one mentioned it again.

until
“The Earth Sea, I think the sea that Mao Mao is patrolling is very likely the Earth Sea,” Zhang Ze said.

"Really? But there's no record of it in the database?" Xiangxiang asked while searching the database.

There are no relevant experimental records in the database.

Especially in the database of Qianjige.

This is a very strange thing.

After all, the Thousand Machine Cultivator's boredom, or rather, his desire to explore the unknown, is unparalleled in the world.

The development of ordinary magical artifacts or the experimentation of Taoist techniques could no longer satisfy their pursuit of art.

It would be against the character of a Thousand Machine Cultivator not to thoroughly understand such a fun baby as Momo.

Zhang Ze didn't pay much attention and casually said, "I guess they didn't do it because of Lily."

"Besides, it's quite normal that no one cares about this. If I hadn't come back from the mountains and seas and turned into an egg again, I wouldn't have connected these two things together."

"How did you come up with that?" Xiangxiang was still browsing the database.

Zhang Ze, "The Dog's Wish-Granting Technique".

Xiangxiang, "?"

Seeing Xiangxiang's confusion, Zhang Ze simply pulled a grilled sausage out of his pocket.

It was an incredibly delicious grilled sausage, fragrant, juicy, and with its casing cracked open.

The sausage, supported by spiritual energy, floated into the air, moving up and down with the movement of Zhang Ze's fingers.

After this incredibly delicious sausage appeared, Mao Mao, who had been lying in the corner of the room sleeping in its doghouse, suddenly twitched its nose.

Then the fluffy thing floated up.

Mao Mao's eyes were not open, and its limbs were limp and hanging down, but the whole dog floated up without any magic.

It was as if an unseen person was holding it by the scruff of its neck and the flesh of its rear end.

Mao Mao floated down and came to Zhang Ze's side.

It drooled as it moved up and down with the sausage in Zhang Ze's hand.

Zhang Ze stuffed the sausage into Mao Mao's mouth, and Mao Mao held the sausage in her mouth and gently fell to the ground.

It's like the saying goes, "Wherever you eat grilled sausage, that's where you'll collapse."

Mao Mao pressed down on Zhang Ze's foot and continued to snore loudly and deeply.

There was no sign of him waking up at all.

Zhang Ze shrugged at Xiangxiang, then snapped his fingers to wake Maomao.

As Mao Mao woke up, Zhang Ze made a clenched fist in the air and pulled the sausage out of the dog's mouth again.

The sausage flew into the air, and as Zhang Ze's fingertips flashed with spiritual light, several magic arrays locked the sausage inside.

The Seven Treasures Sword Formation of the Sword Sect, the Nine-Turn Heart Lock of the Demon Clan, and the Mystic Cage Talisman of Longhu Mountain.
At this moment, this grilled sausage received treatment akin to that of a final treasure chest.

Even if Brother Feng were here, it would take him a while to get this sausage out.

However, these top-tier security formations were completely ineffective in the face of the angry Mao Mao.

"Woof! (Bad dog!)"

With a disgruntled bark from Mao Mao, the sausage vanished in the blink of an eye.

It felt strange, like a frame of the whole world had been ripped out.

By the time Zhang Ze and Xiangxiang came to their senses, the sausage had already been put back into Mao Mao's mouth.

Mao Mao's mouth was stuffed full, as if it was afraid Zhang Ze would steal its food again.

However, this incredibly delicious sausage was too big and too thick, and when I stuffed it all into my mouth, I felt like I couldn't swallow it all at once.

But this is not a problem for Mao Mao.

Mao Mao's tail started spinning rapidly, turning into an electric fan.

The dog's wish-granting magic was activated once again.

The sausage suddenly seemed to have been sliced ​​into small pieces by an invisible knife, but in the process, Mao Mao's mouth was not injured at all.

Mao Mao took a big bite and swallowed the whole sausage.

Zhang Ze stepped forward and rubbed the dog's head, then said to Xiangxiang.

"Look, this is the dog's wish-granting magic."

The dog's wish-granting ability is a special power that can only be activated by Momo.

No magic is needed to make a wish, and there are no warning signs. As long as Mao Mao thinks about it, the wish can be fulfilled to a certain extent.

Although he didn't raise his hand, Momo's wish wasn't unique, or perhaps it was something that couldn't be changed.

For example, if Mao Mao makes a wish to trap Zhang Ze, a vine will appear next to Zhang Ze the next moment.

The strength and speed of the vines that Mao Mao wished for were roughly equivalent to the vines summoned by the same-level Medicine King Valley spell.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Ze is fast enough or strong enough, he can make Mao Mao's wish fail.

As for the upper limit of this ability, it is currently unknown.

Theoretically speaking, if it wanted to, it could rip out a person's heart, elixir, and even soul, just like it did with a sausage.

But Mao Mao never makes such a wish. Its wishes are usually for things like grilled sausages, Lily, pork knuckle, going for a walk, or having its belly button rubbed.

Because Mao Mao is a good dog.

As Xiangxiang listened to Zhang Ze's explanation, she immediately realized the key point.

"You mean? Momo made a wish on the will of the Four Continents?"

Zhang Ze nodded. "Very likely, but we'll need to conduct some experiments to know for sure."

"If possible, we might let Mao Mao make a wish to bring the sect leader back."

Although Zhang Ze spoke casually, Xiangxiang's eyes started flashing frequently, which she found somewhat incomprehensible.

Not to mention the Sword Sect Master, even that grilled sausage from earlier seemed somewhat absurd to her.

"But...but why is it Mao Mao?"

Zhang Ze pondered for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "I don't know either, but if I had to guess, it's probably because the will of the Four Continents likes Mao Mao."

Xiangxiang, "Do you like it?"

Zhang Ze squatted down and, while helping Mao Mao put on a vest, said to Xiang Xiang.

"The will of the four continents will respond to the wishes of all beings. Although I don't know the specific process very well, I think it will probably take three forms."

"One is the thought that forms across the entire race when disaster strikes. The desire for life and the fear of death will resonate across the four continents."

"The second method is to replicate a certain miracle through rituals or mediums, such as sacred trees, stone pills, and dream pills."

"The third possibility is that it is the 'preference' of the four continents, but of course, this is just my speculation."

"In my opinion, the miracles caused by those lucky ones or the chosen ones are more or less related to the will of the four continents."

Zhang Ze's expression turned somewhat strange as he spoke, because he suddenly thought of Brother Feng.

Feng Ge's amazing lock-picking ability, his special skills in finding paths, exploring, treasure hunting, and grave digging, as well as his protagonist-like destiny, now seem to be no different from a dog's wish-granting magic, or even more so.

Zhang Ze didn't want to deny his own efforts, but Feng Ge's personality was indeed quite mysterious.

[Feng's Lockpicking Technique] [Feng's Auto-Pathfinding] [Feng's 100% Last-Minute Breakthrough] [Feng's Rare Item Appraisal Technique] [Feng's Luck S+]

Some things are really hard to explain.

Compared to Brother Feng, I'm as naive as a child.

Zhang Ze said, "There is a divine will in the dark. Some people are born to be favored by the heavens. That's probably how it is."

Xiangxiang: "Emmm, if that's the case, then I'm the same way."

Zhang Ze, "What do you mean?"

Xiangxiang said, "If I hadn't been lucky, how would I have met you back then? If I hadn't been lucky, how would I be able to see you today?"

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, feeling a little touched by the sweetness.

However, Xiangxiang's words also made some sense. Her soul could merge with the scrapped engine of the exiled fleet, which was no different from a miracle.

"Maybe it's true, then you'll have to thank Him properly later." At this moment, Zhang Ze finally finished dressing Mao Mao in that special vest.

The vest is yellow, with many chains hanging from it, making a jingling sound as the furry creature moves.

Mao Mao didn't like the new clothes, but considering the sausages it kept stuffing into its mouth, it decided to reluctantly wear them for a while.

"What are these clothes for?" Xiangxiang asked.

Zhang Ze: "This is something I put together this morning after my master beat me up."

"The vest was ready-made; it must have been made by Lily. The chain is something I just made; well, it's kind of like a dog leash."

"I plan to take Mao Mao to the shallow layers of the Earth Sea. If the sea it's patrolling isn't the Earth Sea, then this garment can protect it."

"If it is, this garment can prevent it from slipping away."

“I don’t want to be tormented by Lily because of the dog being lost.”

"Oh, I see. Hmm, I understand." Xiangxiang continued searching her database while talking to Zhang Ze.

Logically, after the integration, everything from the Thousand Machines Pavilion should have been archived here, with everything, big or small, automatically uploaded and archived. But she couldn't find any record of that vest.

After searching several times, she suddenly discovered some clues.

During the time when I was having an intimate moment with Zhang Ze and was temporarily offline, someone tampered with the database.

Who is it? It's so hard to guess!
Xiangxiang looked at the red-glowing Lily profile picture on the screen in front of her, and her account login history that she hadn't completely deleted.

Just as Xiangxiang was about to complain to Zhang Ze, she discovered that Zhang Ze had disappeared.

He and Momo have already dived into the Earth Sea.

In the sea.

Zhang Ze thought it was all because he was wise and brave, and that he had put the dog on a leash beforehand.

As soon as Mao Mao entered this place, it was like a fish entering the sea or a dragon soaring to the heavens.

Its dark brown fur had completely turned golden, flowing like smoke; calling it a divine dog wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Like a golden flame, Mao Mao carried Zhang Ze as they ran wildly through the void.

"Wait a minute, I can't keep up!"

"Woof! (Lazy dog!)"

After a while, Zhang Zecai and Mao Mao 'floated' up from the sea.

After leaving the sea, Mao Mao turned back into a big, soy sauce-colored dog, while Zhang Ze was successfully exhausted into a dog.

There was no way to stop it; we simply couldn't.

A simple experiment turned into a pure dog-walking-the-person exercise.

Because of the unique characteristics of the Earthsea and the favoritism of the Four Continents' will, Momo was virtually invincible there.

If someone else had been walking Mao Mao today, they probably would have died right here.

"Senior brother is back!"

After Zhang Ze caught his breath, a small, fair hand reached out and offered him a lollipop.

Junior Sister returned from the Sword Sect headquarters this morning. While Zhang Ze was walking his dog in the sea, she stayed here talking to Xiangxiang.

To be precise, she was talking to herself, because Xiangxiang was still searching the database to restore the information that Lili had tampered with or deleted.

Although Zhang Ze didn't know what Xiangxiang was doing, he didn't disturb her as he saw the data stream refreshing all over her body like a waterfall.

He made a shushing gesture, pulled his junior sister and Mao Mao aside, and prepared to conduct the next experiment.

Make a wish.

He decided to test the limits of a dog's wish-granting ability.

Let's see if we can use the dog's wish-granting magic to directly bring the sect leader back.

However, to be on the safe side, he did not let Mao Mao directly aim for the sect leader.

Mahayana cultivators are not like sausages; they possess their own destiny.

Making a wish rashly can easily lead to trouble. Whether it's Mao Mao being killed by a backlash or the sect leader only returning for one part, it's not a good thing for either Mao Mao or Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze took out the photos observed by the Changzhou Observatory from his pocket, picked out a relatively clear one, and handed it to Mao Mao.

He pointed to the stone pig leg and said to Mao Mao, "Can you just bring this over?"

Mao Mao tilted his head, staring at the photo, seemingly genuinely considering the feasibility of the idea.

But after a moment, Mao Mao shook its head, indicating that it couldn't do it, and barked a few times.

"Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof!"

Junior sister, "What's Mao Mao yelling about?"

Zhang Ze translated in Mao Mao's tone, "You can't do it, man, you can't get something for nothing, you bad dog! Woof!"

The junior sister was speechless. "Why are you imitating it so closely?"

Zhang Ze: "Your senior brother is like this: whatever you do, you love it."

Junior sister, "."

After joking around with his junior sister for a while, Zhang Ze decided to activate Plan B.

If Momo's wish-granting magic fails, then let's try a different approach: let Momo use his special skill to deliver the letter.

Based on the test just now, Zhang Ze could conclude that when they were in the Earth Sea, Mao Mao's physical strength and endurance were stronger than his.

The environment outside the sky is actually no different from that of the shallow sea.

Zhang Ze plans to launch himself and Mao Mao into space together.

The first half of the rocket's success relied on Old Deng's incredible efforts, achieved through a two-stage rocket launch.

In the second half, Zhang Ze was pulled by a dog.

They would carry with them a small box that could shield them from the earth and sea, as well as cultivation methods for the acquired Dao body.

Once we find the sect leader, we can either have the sect leader learn the acquired Dao Body technique and swim back with us.

Or it might be put into a small box and brought back by Mao Mao.

I will act as your bodyguard throughout the entire process to protect Mao Mao's safety.

And when necessary, provide brilliant wisdom and fulfill the responsibilities of a navigator.

To ensure the success of Plan B, one furry friend is clearly not enough.

Therefore, Zhang Ze planned to summon a few more sea patrol dogs.

Form a puppy rescue team to carry out this Old Deng rescue plan.

Meanwhile, Xiangxiang was still working on cracking Lily's tricks in the database.

This is her territory after all. Although Lily deleted everything, the traces she left behind are still enough to serve as clues.

As documents and records were retrieved, clues gradually emerged.

What Lily is up to seems to be related to some kind of biological magic circle.

Long ago, Lily began searching and exchanging for a large number of teachings from the Beast Taming Sect, Medicine King Valley, and Buddhism.

Furthermore, Xiangxiang discovered multiple records in the action log.

From the moment he started helping Lily cultivate, the old man has always been with Lily, practically inseparable.

They've been stirring things up all along.

During the time she and Zhang Ze were having an open and honest conversation, Lily seized the opportunity to delete a large number of observation and interview records related to the Mountain and Sea Dragon from the system.

Meanwhile, Meimei, the former head of the secret service who had decided to retire and focus on writing pornographic books, also logged back in and joined this evil plan.

She withdrew a lot of things from Total House, and of course, all the withdrawal records have been deleted.

Upon seeing this, Xiangxiang tried to contact the system, the old man, and Meimei, Lily's three accomplices.

Unsurprisingly, none of the three responded to Xiangxiang's calls, and their locations could not be determined.

However, after discovering these three people, the clues were sufficient.

If there are enough people involved and they have connections with each other, then there will definitely be loopholes.

Xiangxiang quickly found a recent document record.

"On the Improvement and Application of the Beast Taming Sect's Fur-Searching Technique in Marking and Locating Locations"

The signature is "Tongtong".

The person who retrieved the information is Meimei.

The Hair-Seeking Technique is a traditional spell of the Beast Taming Sect. It is an auxiliary spell that uses hair, skin fragments, bones, bloodstains, and other such things to locate a target species.

It is generally used to track wild mythical beasts.

Inspired by Momo, Lily improved the [Momo-Finding Technique], turning it into the [True Momo-Finding Technique].

The improved spell, while having a much smaller target range, is more precise, even down to the number of individuals.

It was probably not deleted because this document was not central to Lily's evil plan.

Xiangxiang, "emmmm"

Looking at the document, Xiangxiang seemed to have found the key to breaking the deadlock.

Mao Mao.

As a good dog, it's unlikely that Mao Mao would collude with the evil Lily.

Xiangxiang floated over and told Zhang Ze to be quiet for now, as she planned to catch the mole first.

As Xiangxiang beckoned, the [Hair-Seeking Technique] magic circle, which Lily had modified, was recreated.

"Good dog, Mao Mao, tell your sister, what does Lily usually use this magic circle for?"

Upon hearing the words "good dog," Mao Mao happily barked.

It ran to the magic circle, skillfully activated it with its paws, then bit off a tuft of tail fur and threw it into the magic circle.

Then something magical happened.

The magic circle was activated, and within its range, in the west-northwest direction, countless points of light appeared.

There are at least several thousand, too many to count.

These points of light are not static; they are all moving around.

Zhang Ze, “.”

Xiangxiang, “.”

Chen Qin, "."

After a long silence, Zhang Ze spoke.

"Let's put Mao Mao's matter aside for now."

"Junior sister, go and notify the security department to mobilize the entire force and prepare to arrest Lily."
