Chapter 175: 174 Little Paperman Got Injured (2 Updates)

Ginsengfruit almost blurted out: [My goodness, does that ceramics aristocratic family have a problem? This clay actually contains Hirano Jiro...]

"You’re overthinking it. There’s no corpse of Hirano Jiro inside this clay, but it does contain his Divine Soul. He must have escaped as a soul after dying, but ended up getting sealed inside this clay."

That guy named Kong Bai, obviously from a notable family, even secured the ancient clay stored by the pottery aristocratic family from Yinghua Country.

Such a person, how could he not test the composition of this clay? If it contained a corpse, it would never have reached his hands.

Just returned to the hotel, the anxious Hirano Jiro, now a modified Divine Beast ornament, asked: "Master Yun, have you found out?"

Yun Ran presented the clay given to her by Tan Chengbi in front of Hirano Jiro.

"This clay carries your aura, and this, is the century-aged clay from the ceramic cellar of the Yinghua Country’s aristocratic family. Your Divine Soul has been sealed."

Hirano Jiro fell silent instantly, no wonder he couldn’t remember how he died.

Turns out, he had been sealed. If not made into an ornament, he might have never awakened.

"Don’t worry, I’m fair to all, young and old. Since I’ve said I’d help you find the cause of your death, I won’t go back on my word. You just woke up, your Divine Soul is still weak, and it’s easy to attract Evil Spirits, better to keep sleeping."

As a Dark Master, Hirano Jiro naturally understood Yun Ran’s intention, she was worried he couldn’t control himself and might turn into an Evil Spirit.

He nodded immediately: "Then I’ll have to trouble Master Yun."

Yun Ran formed hand seals and quickly sealed Hirano Jiro again, letting him continue his slumber.

The modified guardian beast ornament, now completely quiet, no different from a regular ornament.

Meanwhile, Taoist Xia and Little Paperman, finally arrived at the volcano near where the Nine Yang Grass was located.

The temperature here was very high. Taoist Xia wore special protective clothing, but despite the small fan inside the suit, he was still soaked all over.

Little Paperman wasn’t affected at all, moving freely, helping Taoist Xia look for Nine Yang Grass.

Watching Little Paperman flying away, Taoist Xia couldn’t help but feel envious, who would have thought, one day, he would envy the abilities of a Little Paperman.

But soon, Little Paperman flew back, speaking softly: "There are people over there, sneaking around."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xia immediately became anxious, he had spent a billion to get the precise location of this Nine Yang Grass, what do these newcomers mean, trying to swoop in on his find?!

Suddenly not tired anymore, he gathered all his strength and followed Little Paperman towards that direction.

Upon seeing the people, Taoist Xia’s eyes bulged, weren’t these the members of the temporary group they had formed before?

Why were they here too? Suddenly, an unpleasant thought popped into his head.

The other party also saw Taoist Xia, but after a brief awkward moment, they approached him openly.

"So it’s Brother Han, didn’t expect you to be here too, I wonder how much you spent on the information."

At this moment, only one word flashed in Taoist Xia’s mind: Swindler!

"How much did you spend then?"

Having spent a billion on a piece of information, being taken advantage of like this, naturally, he couldn’t let others know, otherwise, he would lose face.

Obviously, the other party felt the same, having been duped, no one would want to talk about losing face.

"Not much, oh, by the way, how’s your search going?"

Seeing that the other party was not persistent about the money matter, Taoist Xia heaved a sigh of relief.

However, they were a temporary group before, but now they have become competitors; no one would foolishly disclose the truth to others.

"I just got here, still looking, want to join up?"

The other person gave a sheepish smile, everyone’s here for the same reason, who would team up? They’re not fools.

"With such a large area, it’s faster to search separately. We can join up when returning."

As they said this, the two parted ways. In the moment they passed by each other, the smiles on their faces disappeared simultaneously - join up, my ass!

Little Paperman obediently stuck to Taoist Xia’s back, and only continued helping with the search after the person had left.

But soon, they encountered other people; Taoist Xia was too drained to complain and now he truly admired the one who sold the information - their money-making skill was incredible.

"Found it~"

Little Paperman flew out of a hole the size of a dog’s entrance, its body covered with volcanic ash, looking like it turned into a little gray man.

As more people arrived, Taoist Xia lost all hope, but unexpectedly, Little Paperman actually helped him find it.

He rushed towards the hole discovered by Little Paperman, it was pitch-black inside, and the entrance was extremely small, not even a child could easily crawl through.

After probing a little, he was even more certain that inside the hole was a long corridor, breaking through it would be tough.

Yet Little Paperman mentioned casually: "There’s a lot inside."

Now, Taoist Xia was beside himself with impatience, this was like being starving but only able to look at a lavish feast through thick glass.

Though Little Paperman had spiritual wisdom, its EQ was concerning: "Why don’t you go in~"

If he could have entered, would he be scratching his head in frustration here?

"I can’t fit in."

Little Paperman suddenly realized: "Oh, you can’t fit in, then I’ll go in and pick~"

Taoist Xia: ...

For a moment, he suspected Little Paperman was doing this on purpose.

After a long wait, Little Paperman flew out of the hole, its little hands holding five or six Nine Yang Grass, he could even see the strenuous ’heave-ho, heave-ho’ expression on its face.

Upon flying out, Little Paperman sat weakly on the ground, its round hands pummeling its own legs, looking very much like Doraemon.

Taoist Xia joyfully took the plump Nine Yang Grass, but when he turned around, he saw Little Paperman collapsed on the ground.

He quickly picked it up, only to see countless tiny cracks on Little Paperman’s body.

Taoist Xia’s complexion changed dramatically, although he was not sure about the full extent of Little Paperman’s strength, he knew it would be difficult for anything to harm Little Paperman under normal conditions.

Now that Little Paperman was in this state, it could only mean one thing; these Nine Yang Grass were protected by a Guardian Beast, and Little Paperman was injured by it.

The alarm on the protective suit also sounded at this time, signifying that the nearby volcano was about to erupt.

Taoist Xia immediately broke into a run; others also had warning alarms on their person and retreated to the periphery without need for coordination.

Luckily, they all had Protective Magical Artifacts; otherwise, they really would have ended up staying here forever.

And the Little Paperman lying on Taoist Xia’s body, had completely wilted, looking utterly drained.
