New and dark light years

Chapter 532 It really is good stuff
Logically speaking, paper figures shouldn't speak under normal circumstances.

But there are exceptions.

For example, when the Tree Fairy Goddess possesses the paper figure summoned by Li Lin, she can speak.

However, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and even a powerful tree fairy wouldn't casually use paper figures to communicate.

Li Lin hid among the paper figures, observing the paper figure that had suddenly been 'possessed'.

After observing his own body for a while, the other person sat down on the ground with a thud, as if he had fallen into despair.

"How could this be! Where is my body? How did it turn into a paper doll?"

Li Lin watched quietly.

At that moment, Li Yanjing's whisper came from the talisman hanging on his chest.

“My lord, this paper figure seems to be a mystery as well.”

"Ok?"

Li Yanjing continued, "Although its aura is very faint, it is indeed strange. Should I go and communicate with it?"

"No need." Li Lin shook his head slightly, his voice low. "Let's see how things go."

"I'll listen to my husband," Li Yanjing said softly.

As the two were talking, the little paper figure sat there for a while, then stood up again.

He walked awkwardly to the side, looking at the paper figures of soldiers that Li Lin had released.

"Strange, when did so many paper figures appear here?" The little paper figure looked at the large group of paper soldiers around it: "How long have I been asleep? Wait... why was the ceiling of my cave shaved off? What happened while I was sleeping!"

He buried his face in his hands, knelt down, and cried out, "Why can't I remember anything!"

Li Yanjing chuckled softly upon seeing this.

However, she kept her voice very low, and only Li Lin could hear her.

After kneeling for a while, the little paper figure suddenly jumped up: "Wait, I remember hiding some good stuff!"

It ran around inside the cave, seemingly searching for something.

Finally, they arrived at a round stone cushion.

"I remember the organization should be this."

It pondered for a moment, then stepped forward, hugged the stone cushion several times its own size, and tried to 'spin around'.

As a result, even after using all my strength, I couldn't turn it even a fraction of an inch.

Finally, it lay helplessly on the stone cushion, letting out a mournful cry: "What is going on? Not only have I inexplicably turned into a paper doll, but I've also lost all my magic and strength. Am I going to live my whole life in this paper doll's body?"

It cried while wiping away its 'tears'.

In fact, paper figures don't shed tears.

Just as he was crying his heart out, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Do you need help?"

The little paper doll immediately stopped crying and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you..."

Then it suddenly realized what was happening, turned around and jumped back, crossed its arms in front of its chest, and roared, "Who are you? Let me tell you, I'm very powerful, I'm known as... right, what do people call me again!"

Li Lin looked at the other person with a smile.

He realized that this little thing was not only weak, but also... seemed to have some intellectual problems.

It might be because a paper figure was used as the body.

“I am the owner of these paper figures, and the paper figure body you are using now is also mine.”

At that moment, a dozen or so small purple paper figures ran over from the surrounding area.

Looking at the other little paper figures around him that were the same style as his but different in color, the white paper figure sighed helplessly.

"So it was you who woke me up?"

Li Lin shook his head: "I can't say that I woke you up. I just came here to look for some things, and I didn't expect to see you awake."

"You still haven't said who you are." The little paper figure asked arrogantly, its hands behind its back and its head tilted back.

Li Lin laughed and said, "Just an ordinary cultivator."

"You're going to help me open this mechanism?" The little paper figure had big, watery eyes. "You're not going to kill me after you open it, are you?"

Li Lin shook his head: "Probably not."

The little paper figure took several steps back, its eyes filled with terror.

Then it pointed behind Li Lin and shouted, "Someone is flying over."

Li Lin turned around.

The little paper figure immediately took off running, a smug look on its face.

It hadn't run more than a few steps when it was caught by a jade-like hand and lifted up.

"Ah, who is it? Let me go."

The person holding it was naturally Li Yanjing.

Li Lin walked over at this moment and said with a smile, "This little thing is quite good at lying."

The small white paper figure struggled violently in Li Yanjing's hand, waving its arms and legs wildly, and shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! You bad people!"

Li Yanjing winked at Li Lin and then said, "Husband, let's tear this little thing apart, it's quite noisy."

Upon hearing this, the little paper figure immediately covered its mouth, no longer daring to make any noise.

Its eyes were filled with fear, and its paper-made body trembled slightly.

Now that it has attached itself to the paper figure, it cannot move the soul without receiving more spiritual energy.

If the paper figure is torn up, its soul will also be scattered.

This is also the reason why Li Lin came out.

Li Yanjing said with a smile, "This thing is also strange, similar to me, but it seems to be purer than mine."

"More like a ghost?"

Li Yanjing nodded gently.

The little thing looked at Li Yanjing from the left and Li Lin from the right, then whispered, "Can you please not kill me? I'll give you all my things."

Li Lin ignored it and walked to the stone cushion from before, squatted down and twisted it hard.

The stone cushion turned, causing a slight vibration in the air, and then the surrounding scenery changed.

Li Lin's paper figure disappeared, and the three of them appeared in a haystack.

It was a very large haystack, like a bird's nest.

Li Yanjing looked around in surprise: "Huh, where is this?"

Li Lin jumped to the edge of the bird's nest and looked around, only to find that the huge 'bird's nest' was on a mountain peak.

However, the surrounding environment was not that of southern Xinjiang, but rather a continuous range of snow-capped mountains.

A vast expanse of white, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Despite the biting wind outside, it wasn't cold at the edge or inside the bird's nest.

Li Lin looked around and saw only snow-capped mountains and snowfields, but did not find any living creatures.

He jumped down from the edge, looked at the small paper figure in Li Yanjing's hand, and asked, "Where is this?"

“My home,” the little paper figure said matter-of-factly.

Li Lin looked around.

This huge bird's nest, made of piled-up yellow withered grass, was very clean.

It was almost too clean; there was nothing there at all.

"Didn't you say there were good things here?" Li Lin asked.

The little paper figure pointed to the middle of the bird's nest: "There's a hidden door over there."

Li Lin walked over, but still couldn't see any hidden door.

But when he stomped down hard, he found that he was indeed standing on empty space.

Then, reaching down and grabbing the grass below, he pulled up a huge slab of grass. Below was a vast, open space.

In the center of the space, there was a huge, white thing.

"Husband, is there a trap down there?" Li Yanjing walked over and whispered.

The little paper figure said, "Who would set a trap in their own home?"

He was full of resentment.

Li Lin jumped down, and Li Yanjing immediately followed.

Once he landed in the space below, Li Lin discovered that the huge white object was actually an egg.

I don't know what kind of egg it is, but it's taller than a person and longer than Li Lin's outstretched arms.

"What kind of animal laid these eggs?" Li Lin wondered, and walked over to gently tap them with his hand.

The white eggshell is hard and has a metallic feel when tapped, but the surface is warm, not cold.

Li Yanjing was also amazed.

Li Lin asked, "What is this thing used for? It's not going to hatch some kind of large creature, is it?"

The little paper figure thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was used for eating."

"Huh?" Li Yanjing was startled.

Is this something to eat?
The little paper figure nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I remember now, it's for eating. We use it when there's no food, that's why it's hidden here."

"Is this what you call good stuff?" Li Lin asked.

The little paper figure asked with a puzzled look, "Of course it's for eating! Don't you humans keep food reserves?"

"It's so big, can you finish eating it?"

"I wasn't a paper doll before," the little paper doll cried out in frustration.

Li Yanjing clicked her tongue.

After walking around, Li Lin said, "There seems to be spiritual energy flowing inside this egg. It's definitely a good thing."

"Right, right? You know your stuff." The little paper figure was particularly smug.

Li Lin clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't it a waste to eat this thing? If it hatches, we can definitely get a very powerful beast as a pet."

Generally speaking, most oviparous animals have a habit of regarding the first creature they see after hatching as their parents.

If this egg can be hatched, then... even if it turns into a large bird, it would indirectly enhance our combat strength.

But then the little paper figure said, "This thing can't hatch."

"Why?"

"It is an egg without yang."

Li Yanjing was somewhat puzzled: "What does 'egg without yang' mean?"

Li Lin understood; this was not a fertilized egg.

He simply asked out of curiosity, "How did you know?"

"That's what I remember," the little paper figure said dejectedly. "If you like it, take it with you, but please, don't kill me. I'm still very useful; without me, there will be big problems."

"What kind of problem might arise..." Li Lin asked.

"I don't remember," the little paper figure said in a serene tone.

Li Lin said to Li Yanjing, "Put it down."

"I'll listen to my husband." Li Yanjing placed the paper figure on the ground.

After gaining his freedom, the little paper figure hopped around happily, then said, "I'm not lying to you. There are some big problems in this world. I woke up to solve these problems, but for some reason, my body is gone."

"So, who were you before? Do you remember?" Li Lin asked.

The little paper doll shook its head: "I don't remember. I didn't remember much to begin with, and then I turned into a paper doll... Now I don't know what to do."

After speaking, the little paper figure squatted on the ground and drew circles with its other hand, looking very depressed.

Li Yanjing then leaned closer to Li Lin and asked, "Shall we move this egg?"

Li Lin went over and pushed it, but the giant egg didn't budge. He shook his head and said, "It's too heavy, I can't take it back."

"Where is the storage ring?"

"The space is too small, and this thing is too big."

Li Yanjing said helplessly, "I can't take it with me either, it's too big."

"Then let's leave it here. We can come back and get it later when we have the chance."

Li Yanjing took a look.

At this moment, Li Lin said, "Go and look around for anything else, or any clues. Maybe we can figure out the true identity of this little paper figure."

"it is good."

The two left the little paper figure there, looking dejected and lost in thought, while they began to explore the surrounding area.

Before long, both of them had made a profit.

Li Lin was holding a very long feather in his hand, which he had found in a crevice of a haystack.

The feather was as long and large as a banana leaf fan, but the feathers on it were very soft and looked like cotton wool. They were all a striking wine red color, which is why Li Lin was able to find it in the gaps of the haystack.

But what Li Yanjing was holding was a scale.

It was about the size of a square shield.

The scales are very smooth white, with dense, wispy circular patterns that are dazzling to the eye.

When Li Lin received the feather, he thought the little paper figure was originally a giant bird.

So this giant white egg must be a bird egg.

But upon closer inspection of the white scales on Li Yanjing's hands, they appeared to be more like snake scales.

Why was Li Lin so certain? Because the scales on both the Tree Fairy Goddess's green tail and the Willow Mirage before it transformed into human form were very similar to this one.

Li Lin estimated the circular patterns on the scales and was surprised to find that the scales were about 'a thousand years old'.

Liu Chi often visited Li Lin's home, and she shared some knowledge about snakes.

Generally speaking, the age of such snake-like creatures is reflected in their scales.

Just like the rings of a tree.

"So, are you a bird or a snake?" Li Lin asked.

The little paper figure snapped out of its reverie. After thinking for a moment, it said, "I only remember that I should be a girl."

"I asked you, is your true form a snake or a bird?"

"Can not remember."

Li Lin sighed helplessly: "So, besides this white egg, is there anything else you're talking about that's good?"

“Yes, that’s all. It’s full of spiritual energy. Do you want to eat it?” The little paper figure suddenly said, “I remember now, this thing has a small hole that can be pulled open.”

Li Yanjing asked, "Where is it?"

The little paper figure said, "Follow me."

Then it went around to the pointed side of the white egg, pointed at the pointed end and said, "There's a hole there. Look carefully and you'll see it."

Li Lin walked over and, sure enough, found a circular pattern on the eggshell that was about the size of a fist.

He patted it gently, then used his spiritual power to gently draw in a piece of eggshell the size of a fist, which was then drawn into his hand.

A hole appeared in the eggshell, and then a clear liquid slowly 'bulged' out from inside.

However, because it is very viscous, it only bulges out a little bit and then stops flowing out.

At this moment, both Li Lin and Li Yanjing's faces were filled with surprise.

Because a large amount of spiritual energy overflowed from that small 'hole'.

How much? About ten times that of the minor spiritual veins.

"It really is a good product," Li Lin couldn't help but exclaim.
