Chapter 190 Searching for the Abyss with Remaining Bones

Sang Tiao waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way."

Fang Fang and Yuan Wu followed behind her.

Su Yu and Feng Huaijin walked at the back, deeply feeling that the intelligence capabilities of the Ghost Market and the Demon Palace needed to be strengthened.

This Sang Tiao doesn't seem like an introverted, socially anxious demon at all, does he?

Upon reaching the depths of the cave, Sang Tiao spread her arms as if taking flight, displaying her pride and success.

When it came to the professional part, she became particularly excited: "This is the puppet I made based on the remains of the Bonefire Demon."

"Due to the unique nature of its bloodline, the remains of the Bonefire Demon are more complete and harder than those of other ancient demons, and they don't look like the demon bones that died tens of thousands of years ago at all!"

“I have compared her with the remains of other demons. She is faster at absorbing magic and can hold the most. She can even autonomously mobilize the absorbed foreign demonic energy.”

"The demonic energy left behind by the remains is also the most intelligent. In the presence of demonic energy, it may even actively approach nearby skeletons of the same body..."

Sang Tiao spoke fluently and incessantly.

Su Yu carefully examined the puppet that had been modified from the remains of the Bonefire Demon.

Skeletal remains were hidden within a body formed from a fusion of iron, stone, and hardwood, with only a faint, pale white showing beneath the dark green outer shell.

In some places where bones should have been present, vines were used to fill and fix the remains in place due to the lack of them.

The skull wasn't finely sculpted; it just looked like a full-coverage helmet, revealing a pair of dark, hollow eyes.

There was no will-o'-the-wisp inside the eye skull, after all, no matter how intelligent this remains was, its true soul had long since disappeared, leaving only a dim, broken body.

This demonic puppet was missing only its left hand.

As Sang Tiao explained, her thoughts unconsciously jumped to the puppet she hadn't finished yet. She lowered her voice and buried herself in assembling the remaining hand for the puppet.

Fang Fang said to the remaining three demons, "You may sit wherever you like. She will regain her senses once she finishes making the puppet. I will go and help her."

Sang Tiao's demonic energy attribute is metal, and the vines on the puppet were made by Fang Fang.

Two years ago, when Fang Fang was training in a secret realm, she ran into Sang Tiao, who claimed to be in seclusion but had come out to find materials for puppets. After an adventure in the secret realm, the two demons felt that they got along quite well, and Sang Tiao invited Fang Fang to see her puppets.

Fang Fang agreed out of curiosity.

Then I was tricked into staying and helping to make puppets.

However, because she did learn a lot of puppet knowledge that was not available outside, Fang Fang thought that it was worthwhile to help and practice in exchange for knowledge, so she didn't care how she got it in the first place.

At this moment, Fang Fang manipulated the thin vines inside the puppet, which slowly emerged from the left arm of the wreckage and hooked around the hand bones, while Sang Tiao added the metal parts.

About half an hour later, they finished.

The wrecked puppet's body was intact, with no missing key parts.

Sang Tiao's eyes shone brightly, startling the demon. He clenched his fists and paced back and forth, barely suppressing the urge to immediately have the ancient demon bloodline awakener input demonic energy to activate the puppet. He turned around and explained the details to the other three demons who were almost asleep.

"Alright, this puppet can lead us to the legendary Abyss of Demons. We just need to follow it."

Su Yu had been resting with her eyes closed, leaning on Feng Huaijin's shoulder, but after sensing that the two demonic cultivators had stopped moving the puppets, she opened her eyes, stood up straight, and asked, "Why?"

Feng Huaijin looked regretful and gently helped Su Yu straighten up, silently adjusting his posture.

Before, when they stood together, they stood side by side with a normal distance between them. But after they confirmed their relationship, Feng Huaijin especially liked to stand a little behind Su Yu, with their shoulders overlapping, as if he were holding a demon in his arms.

Fang Fang's expression started to look a little strange.

Because when Su Yu returned last time and encountered Wei Lan and confirmed her relationship with Feng Huaijin, none of the Yuanfu disciples were present, and none of the instructors informed them that their two senior brothers had become a couple.

So Fang Fang felt that the way these two senior brothers were getting along was strangely similar to how she was with her fiancé, Hua Min.

Maybe it's because they haven't seen each other for too long. Anyway, they were always quite close before, so it's normal.

Fang Fang remained calm and composed.

Feng Huaijin noticed that his junior brothers and sisters didn't seem to know that he and his brother were about to become a couple.

He lowered his head slightly and made a small kissing motion on Su Yu's head, out of her sight.

Fang Fang: ? ? ?

Su Yu was waiting for Sang Tiao's reply and didn't notice the subtle actions between the two.

Sang Tiao, the completely unaware demon, had the impression that they were a couple, and had no reaction to this. He was only confused by the demon's sudden one-sided display of affection.

She chose to ignore it and explained: "The Abyss wants to reclaim these bones. It is summoning them, and these bones will respond to the summons, but they cannot move."

"After absorbing the demonic energy of the ancient demon bloodline awakener, this puppet will gain the ability to move and will head towards the Demon Abyss."

Twenty years ago, after receiving instructions from the Demon Abyss in murmurs, Sang Tiao announced that he would go into seclusion to focus on creating a puppet that could find the Demon Abyss. These skeletons were also collected under the instructions of the Demon Abyss.

She said, "The Demon Abyss needs to replenish its nutrients in order to continue producing a continuous stream of demonic energy. These ancient demons were originally born from the Demon Abyss and share the same origin as it. After they die, they will become part of the Demon Abyss again."

"These skeletons are the last parts of them that could not directly return to the Abyss, and they are also the best nourishment for the Abyss."

Su Yu frowned slightly: "Did Mo Yuan tell you all this?"

Sang Tiao thought for a moment and said, "It didn't say it directly, but I just sensed what it meant, that's right."

She glanced at Su Yu and said, "When a demon dies, its cultivation and demonic energy will dissipate and return to the Demon Abyss. It's just that the ancient demons are different. They are the true children of the Demon Abyss, so they all have to go back after they die."

Su Yu did not answer immediately.

Just now, the information about the Demon Abyss that I learned from Sang Tiao has caused my upgrade value to increase significantly.

Is this also true?

This should be considered part of the natural order of the world.

The Abyss, seemingly distrustful of the Time Management Bureau's employees, chose to contact entirely native demons to issue orders.

But so far, they haven't prevented him from obtaining this intelligence.

Sometimes, curiosity and a desire to explore are not a good thing, but it's unlikely that Su Yu would give up on figuring out the Demon Abyss right now.

So he nodded, giving Sang Tiao a definite answer: "I understand, I will go with you."

My shoulder was lightly bumped.

Su Yu continued without looking to the side, "This Demon Lord is with me as well."

“That’s wonderful, thank you, High Priest,” Sang Tiao smiled, thanked him, and then looked at Yuan Wu, “Now that Commander Yuan knows, should we go back and discuss it with the members? After all, the return date is uncertain.”

Yuan Wu said with a serious face, "The Mo Hai Mercenary Group will not force its members to accept missions. I will go back and ask who is willing to participate, and I will also give them time to think. We can set off in three days."
