That's seriously ridiculous!
Watching Qiongqi dash away and disappear into the ghostly mist ahead, Rong Xi was furious. She was, after all, Qiongqi's master; how dare it disobey her? Did it think she was just a decoration?
"Master, there's treasure!"
Before Rong Xi could use her skills to deal with Qiongqi, Taotie suddenly appeared.
"Um?"
Rong Xi turned her head to look at Taotie.
“Master, although the third brother can’t have the same magical sense of treasure as the treasure-hunting rat, he has always been quite skilled at treasure hunting among the four of us brothers.”
"It's always been like this. Whenever the third brother comes across some amazing treasure, he gets very impulsive!"
Taotie spoke with great conviction.
After thinking for a moment, Rong Xi decided not to activate the enslavement formation to deal with Qiongqi, but instead followed Taotie after it.
Honey, she likes it very much too.
As for whether Qiongqi was the discoverer of this treasure, that's completely unimportant. Even Qiongqi belongs to her, so whatever Qiongqi discovered naturally belongs to her too.
That makes perfect sense.
With the gluttonous beast in front of it, facing the overwhelming aura of nobility, it simply opened its mouth and inhaled it.
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
Only after entering the area where the ghostly aura was most intense did Rong Xi hear Qiongqi's cry again.
baby?
No!
Qiongqi was barking incessantly at a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Judging from the way this guy barked at the skeleton, it was as if he had a blood feud with it.
"You stupid dog, get back here right now!"
Rong Xi saw Qiongqi and summoned it again.
"Waaah..."
This time, Qiongqi obediently returned to Rong Xi's side, but the guy actually started to act pitiful and wronged, whimpering as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Taotie, come here!"
Rong Xi couldn't understand what Qiongqi was whimpering about. This guy, as an ancient ferocious beast, couldn't even communicate with his spirit anymore. It was truly ridiculous.
Upon receiving Rong Xi's summons, Taotie immediately stepped forward and slammed Qiongqi to the ground with a claw.
It's strange, really!
This Qiongqi had clearly lost its cultivation and become a little puppy. However, it was completely unharmed by Taotie's claw.
It's important to know that Taotie used considerable force in that claw strike. Qiongqi was even slammed into the ground by Taotie's claw.
"Woof! Woof! Woof..."
Qiongqi rolled over and got up, then began to yell at Taotie.
After a while, Qiongqi finally stopped exchanging items.
Taotie then looked at Rong Xi and gave a detailed report on Qiongqi's situation.
The reason Qiongqi has become what it is now is entirely because of this skeleton. Well, to be precise, Qiongqi was tricked by this skeleton when it was still alive!
"Since we're enemies, let's grind our bones to dust!"
Once Rong Xi learned the truth, she could no longer blame Qiongqi for running around recklessly.
It makes sense. If she were in Qiongqi's position and suffered such a tragic fate, and suddenly sensed the aura of her enemy, she would naturally seek revenge.
Whether this revenge can be achieved is another matter entirely.
"Woof, woof!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, Qiongqi cried out again.
Taotie continued translating, saying, "Master, the third brother said that its essence is inside this skeleton, and it wants to devour it!"
"What?!"
Rong Xi remained silent for a long time after hearing Taotie's words.
Damn it, how should we respond to this?
After enslaving Taotie, she specifically warned it not to eat people. And after enslaving Qiongqi, the rules she set for Taotie were relayed to Qiongqi by Taotie.
But now, if Qiongqi wants to reclaim its origin, it has to devour this skeleton.
So, should we let it gnaw on it, or not?
The four ancient ferocious beasts were all wicked and terrifying beings that plagued their respective regions. The suppression and near-complete annihilation of the Qiongqi was a sacred act that benefited all people. And the one who accomplished this was undoubtedly a sage. Such a sage, with his remains remaining here after death, shouldn't we, as humans, allow him a proper burial?
"Taotie, tell Qiongqi, don't even think about it!"
Although Rong Xi felt she had no bottom line in her actions, she still had some basic moral principles. She believed one must hold a deep respect for a sage who had made outstanding contributions to the human race.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Upon hearing Taotie's message, Qiongqi became furious and jumped high into the air.
"Master, the third brother said that this person died long ago! He's using its essence to transform into a ghost. The reason Ghost Tremor Ridge has become like this is all because of this skeleton!"
"..."
Rong Xi glared, "Just you wait!"
Rong Xi said she couldn't completely believe Qiongqi's words. She had to find someone to ask!
Whom should I ask?
Of course, you should ask Su Peisheng!
She had absolutely no idea what the Ghost Clan was, but Su Peisheng, as someone close to the Fourth Prince, must know quite a bit.
The communication jade talisman is activated!
Runes flashed, and Rong Xi directly voiced her question, without hiding it from Taotie and Qiongqi.
However, there was no response.
"Master, Ghost Tremor Ridge has an array that blocks spiritual senses and telepathic communication. Shall I escort you up there?"
Seeing Rong Xi asking Su Peisheng about the situation, Taotie quickly spoke up.
"good!"
Rong Xi didn't mince words, "Tell Qiongqi to wait here obediently. If it dares to disobey, I'll kill it!"
"Yes, great master!"
Taotie was very obsequious and gave Qiongqi a severe scolding.
