Chapter 892: Chapter 897: The Final Test 12
Gaiyin subtly curled the corners of his mouth. "What’s the rush? Aren’t Baique and the others misfortunate folks?"
"Hahaha, right, they are the misfortunate folks!"
Whether Baique was misfortunate or not, was unclear.
But ever since Su Tang had consumed the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng, she’d definitely been rather unlucky.
The Wen Bi Spring was located at the edge of the eastern part of the Wood Immortal Mansion. During the time Su Tang was improving her physique, Xi had already searched through half of the eastern area.
Therefore, after regrouping with Xi, the trio began their search in the other half.
In the Wood Immortal Mansion, pavilions, towers, small bridges over flowing water, and tall buildings with intricate carvings filled the space. Faintly, one could catch glimpses of the past prosperity through the wild overgrowth.
When they arrived under an unnamed fruit tree—
With a "thump," a fruit fell and hit Su Tang on the head.
When they reached a small wooden bridge in the garden—
With a "crack," a wooden plank broke, and Su Tang nearly stepped through it and fell into the river.
When they reached a very dilapidated pavilion—
Then an unknown breeze came, covering Su Tang head to toe with dust.
Su Tang: "..."
I suspect that the Wood Immortal Mansion is targeting me, and I have certain evidence to prove it.
Silently, she raised her hand and flipped off the sky.
Thus, they toured the other half of the unexplored area for an afternoon and disappointingly didn’t find a single key.
Su Tang was really out of patience.
When evening arrived and they were passing by the gate of the Wood Immortal Mansion again, Su Tang stopped in her tracks.
"I’ll wait for you guys here, I feel like I’m being targeted, and if I keep following you, I reckon you won’t be able to find the key either."
Gaiyin, unusually, didn’t argue.
He even silently complained in his mind: Be more confident, remove the words "I feel," you are being targeted!
But he dared not say this aloud, for fear that Su Tang would explode.
He reached out and rubbed Su Tang’s head. "Then you stay here obediently and wait for me, activate your protective shield, and if you’re bored, practice the Soft Body Technique."
Su Tang nodded, as she had been intending to do just that.
If all went well, and her physique had successfully transformed, then she now had the ability to awaken her superpowers!
It was genuinely exciting. Being from the Human Clan, what kind of superpower would she awaken?
The time left for them was running short, with only a day and a night remaining, yet they had found only four keys.
With this, they did not dare to rest even for a moment.
Beastmen all possess Night Vision Ability, so even in the dark, they could see their surroundings very clearly. Aside from feeling tired, there were no other effects for them.
It might have been because of her recent physical transformation that afternoon, but Su Tang also did not feel sleepy at all.
Sitting at the gate of the Wood Immortal Mansion, she put up her protective shield and began practicing the Soft Body Technique.
Soon, a night had passed.
Su Tang took down the protective shield and stretched languidly. After a night of cultivation, she felt she had grown stronger!
With nothing else to do, she looked around.
And with that look, she did indeed find something different.
"Eh? Is this a door knocker?"
Su Tang picked up a round ring with a gap in it from a dusty corner.
Comparing it to the big gate, it was indeed the missing door knocker from the left door.
The gap in the ring was smooth like a spherical bead. By the looks of it, the two ends of the gap were supposed to be slotted onto the nostrils of the Pi Xiu carvings.
Knowing where the item belonged, Su Tang intended to return it to its original place.
The nostrils of the Pi Xiu were a bit far apart, while the gap in the ring was too narrow. To fit the ring onto the Pi Xiu’s nostrils, she had to pry the ring open a bit.
