Chapter 482: Chapter 481: He Has Successfully Formed a Pact with the Mountain Spirit! (2nd Update)
Yun Ran was utterly speechless, she had never seen such a shameless person who could take advantage like this!
After all, it was Dragon Spirit, which was considered a noble being, but unexpectedly, when it was shameless, it truly left people speechless.
However, now wasn’t the time for such thoughts. Thinking about the Dragon Spirit, which had lived for thousands of years, the things it knew should be more than her.
She instantly dismissed her disdainful thoughts and began to ask, "I’ve connected with Ginsengfruit, but I’ve been interfered with and can’t figure out exactly what he’s saying. Do you know what’s going on?"
Dragon Spirit was taken aback; it probably hadn’t expected Yun Ran to suddenly change the topic, thinking she would hold onto it tightly.
However, Yun Ran’s question wasn’t easy to answer.
Dragon Spirit didn’t feel happy for being able to contact the outside world but reflected for a good while before saying, "When I first came in, I tried to contact my main body, but I couldn’t.
But now, you’ve connected with Ginsengfruit, which could be due to several possibilities. The first is that you experienced hallucinations.
The second is that Ginsengfruit is also included in this sealing array. But if he truly is in this seal, given your methods, he shouldn’t be so disturbed that you can’t hear him clearly.
The third possibility is, of course, that this sealing array has a flaw, which Ginsengfruit has found..."
When Yun Ran asked Dragon Spirit, she already had some thoughts, but she still wanted a more definite answer.
After Dragon Spirit finished speaking, it watched Yun Ran ponder without disturbing her.
Almost instantly, Yun Ran thought of the Mountain Spirit who informed her that this array requires life force as the array’s source.
"The first and second possibilities can basically be ruled out; now the third possibility seems more likely."
Dragon Spirit looked at Yun Ran with some doubt, "Are you sure it’s not yourself experiencing hallucinations?"
Yun Ran: ...
She thought, once they get out, she should suggest Dragon Spirit attend a class to improve its emotional intelligence; otherwise, it doesn’t know how often it will suffer from misunderstandings.
"Do you remember how we got sucked in here? Little Master said we likely triggered some settings in the seal by using Half-Immortal Power.
In this deep mountainous forest, the Mountain Spirit should also have Half-Immortal Power, even though it is very weak..."
Yun Ran didn’t continue, but Dragon Spirit clearly understood Yun Ran’s meaning.
"You’re saying the Mountain Spirit helped? But why would it help us? Surely not just because there are many of us!"
Yun Ran immediately mentioned her ’deal’ with the Mountain Guardian, and the matter of the lynx possessed by the Mountain Spirit beside Ginsengfruit.
"According to you, it’s really possible. We couldn’t deal with this seal, but the Mountain Spirit here and this seal should have a mutually beneficial effect, definitely have some special connection."
Thinking of this, Dragon Spirit was instantly pleased, but it quickly became unhappy.
Because Yun Ran added, "The Mountain Spirit here seems to be almost gone. Even though it’s been invaded by Death Energy and Evil Energy, the Mountain Spirit shouldn’t be this weak."
Xuanmen’s secret techniques and Evil Cultivator’s means, Yun Ran still understood, but when it came to these beings who developed spiritual wisdom and reached Demi Immortal status, Yun Ran really didn’t understand.
Dragon Spirit looked at Yun Ran with the appearance of seeking knowledge, immediately cleared its throat, displaying an obvious prideful demeanor as if regaining stature in front of Yun Ran.
"If it’s about this, I think I might roughly know the reason..."
At the critical juncture, Dragon Spirit intentionally paused, raising its head, acting quite boastfully.
"Did you know, not every being who gains spiritual wisdom can cultivate their source? Every stage is very important.
Take me, for example, I was once a Jiao Long, and evolving into a dragon was extremely difficult, but I eventually had the chance.
But if someone had stolen my source during my time as a Jiao Long, I would never have been able to become a dragon in my lifetime.
Even with great opportunities presented, if someone helped me cheat, it wouldn’t work.
Once the source is lost, I wouldn’t just fail to become a dragon; even the Jiao Long’s power would keep diminishing until I ultimately faded away.
The source that can sustain this sealing array indicates that the Mountain Spirit itself isn’t weak; logically, it should have complemented with this seal.
But now, the Mountain Spirit is almost dissipated; this can only indicate one problem: the source of the Mountain Spirit in this deep forest was stolen.
Yun Ran couldn’t help but take a deep breath. According to Dragon Spirit’s words, in terms of Xuanmen people, isn’t it equivalent to their Lifebound Magical Artifact being destroyed?
If her Heavenly Thunder Order was destroyed, it would be very difficult for her to make further progress.
At this moment, the voice of Ginsengfruit echoed again in Yun Ran’s mind: [Host... me...]
Although she still couldn’t hear clearly what was being said, it was evidently much better than before.
Ginsengfruit was clearly anxious at this moment, after finally establishing contact with the host, but the response from that side was very weak, just like a poor signal threatening to drop at any moment.
Thinking of this, Ginsengfruit hurriedly fed several more drops of blood into the lynx’s mouth. Earlier, he gave blood to the lynx to connect with the host.
It proved that sometimes, quantity indeed prevails.
After the lynx consumed a large amount of Ginsengfruit ’blood.’
Ginsengfruit suddenly felt a wave in his heart; the surrounding area, which was previously blank, now clearly allowed him to perceive everything.
Including the pitiful cries of the trees, and the various noisy sounds of many beings.
Most exaggeratedly, the mountains spanning several hundred miles suddenly felt like a three-dimensional map.
As long as he wanted, he could easily bring up everything on the map and see it clearly.
Ginsengfruit understood things instantly, his gaze complexly turned towards the still-sleeping lynx.
He had successfully bonded with the Mountain Spirit!
That’s when Ginsengfruit finally recalled that earlier, when the lynx possessed by the Mountain Spirit awakened, it bit his hand.
However, his body was special; unless he willingly consented, no one could break his skin and obtain his ’blood.’
Unexpectedly, after all this time, his blood inadvertently ended up in the lynx’s mouth, completing this special bond.
Ginsengfruit immediately wore a distressed expression, "I wonder if I’ll withstand when the host draws blood from me~"
