Chapter 1344

The Space Ring couldn’t hold just anything. Things that were too large in volume or too heavy in weight sometimes couldn’t be put into the Space Ring. There were also some special treasures like this, such as the True Solar Essence that Yang Kai and Yang Yan had obtained in the Corpse Cave last time.

It couldn’t be put into the Space Ring because the intense heat it emitted had far exceeded the limit that the Space Ring could endure. Once it was put in, it would surely damage the Space Ring.

So Yang Yan had gone to great lengths to specifically refine a ring.

Strictly speaking, the puppet in front of him wasn’t that big, but it still couldn’t be put into the Space Ring. The only explanation was that its weight far exceeded Yang Kai’s imagination.

With this thought in mind, a hint of surprise and strangeness flashed in Yang Kai’s eyes.

Just as he was pondering, Cai He and Du Sisi also walked over from not far away. Now that the great battle was over, it was time to collect the spoils. Everyone could see that this puppet was extraordinary. Naturally, the two Array Masters didn’t want Yang Kai to take all the benefits alone. They hurriedly ended their cultivation and joined Yang Kai.

“Brother Yang, this puppet is probably a work from the ancient era and is of extraordinary value.” Cai He chuckled, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

That’s right. If we can crack the driving method it will surely become a great help.” The excitement shone in Du Sisi’s beautiful eyes.

Yang Kai touched his chin, looked at the two of them, and didn’t expose their thoughts. He smiled indifferently and said, “Do you two have an interest in it？”

Cai He gave a dry laugh twice, while Du Sisi spoke frankly, “Of course, who would be willing to miss such a good thing? Even if we can’t figure out the way to crack and drive it, perhaps we can spy on the puppet refining technique in the ancient times through this puppet. Others dare not say, but I think Lian Guang must be very interested in it.”

What she said was the truth. For such a puppet, leaving aside its own value, just its research value was inestimable. The Lian family, which was famous for driving and refining puppets, would definitely not miss it if they heard about it.

“Hmm.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. Although Du Sisi had a bit of a temper after the three of them joined hands his impression of her had also improved a little. After pondering for a while, he said, “We three all exerted a lot of effort in this battle. But there is only one puppet. How should we allocate it?”

Cai He and Du Sisi looked at each other and couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

Seeing the two showing difficult expressions, Yang Kai smiled and said, “Well, I don’t want the puppet. I only want that black giant stick. You two discuss among yourselves who will own the puppet. Of course, there is also the space ring left by that senior after her death.”

After the old woman was pinched to death, her space ring fell at the foot of the puppet. Yang Kai had never had a chance to obtain it. Now it happened to make up three items together with the puppet and the giant stick for the three of them to allocate.

No one knows what’s in her Space Ring. But that bottle of Life Nectar is definitely real.

“Just the stick?” Du Sisi looked at the black giant stick beside the puppet, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her beautiful eyes. To be honest, she also saw that the value of that black giant stick was definitely not inferior to that of the puppet itself. Letting it go to Yang Kai like this, she hesitated a little, but when she thought of the old woman’s Space Ring, she was a little heart flutter.

Cai He, however, immediately said, “Alright, Brother Yang was also a main force in this battle. He narrowly escaped death several times. I have no objection to such a distribution.”

Since he said so, what could Du Sisi do？

Yang Kai said a word of acceptance, and then walked to the black giant stick on his own. After thinking for a while, he came to the giant stick, reached out and put his hand on it, released his spiritual thoughts, and carefully explored it.

A moment later, Yang Kai’s expression moved, and his Saint Yuan burst out, pouring into the black giant stick.

An incredible scene appeared. As the Saint Yuan was poured in, the giant stick that was more than ten zhang long and as thick as a water bucket actually shrank at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it became about one person tall.

It directly stunned Cai He and Du Sisi, who were discussing the distribution of the puppet and the Space Ring beside them.

Yang Kai revealed a look of ‘as expected’. When he first saw this puppet, he didn’t notice this huge black stick at all. But after the puppet killed the old woman, it suddenly took out this stick. At that time, Yang Kai suspected whether this stick could change its size at will. Now, after testing, he found that his guess was correct.

Reaching out to take the black stick, Yang Kai’s expression froze, and then revealed a look of surprise and joy.

He found that he couldn’t move this stick at all. It was really right to make this choice. I’m afraid this stick was also refined from some amazing materials.

And the puppet has been damaged. With the means on You’an Star, it is probably impossible to repair it. It is useless to ask for it. At most, it can be exchanged with the Lian Family for some Saint Crystals and treasures. As for the Life Nectar in the old woman’s Space Ring… it is just some diluted products. It’s better not to take it. Yang Kai has great confidence that in a certain place inside the rockery, there is purer Life Nectar.

Feeling happy in his heart, Yang Kai remained calm on the surface. Streams of Saint Yuan were injected into the stick, and then his Divine Sense surged out, wrapped in the stick and putting it into the ring refined by Yang Yan.

This ring can even store the True Essence of the Sun and the Myriad Years Ice Jade Platform. Naturally, it is no problem to store a extremely heavy stick.

After Yang Kai finished his work here, Cai He and Du Sisi also reached an agreement. Cai He walked to the place where the puppet originally stood and picked up the old woman’s spatial ring. Du Sisi took out a secret treasure like a bracelet, and with a happy expression on her pretty face, she threw the bracelet. The bracelet immediately enlarged, like a ring covering the puppet. Then, a little like willow branches of energy filaments were released from the ring.

These energy filaments attached to the puppet and quickly wrapped it into a zongzi-like shape. Du Sisi let out a low shout： “Take it！”

Countless filaments instantly retracted, and the huge puppet was also pulled into the ring little by little. It disappeared in less than ten breaths. The ring once again returned to the shape of a bracelet and automatically flew back to set on Du Sisi’s white wrist.

Everyone was happy, and the three of them each got something.

Yang Kai didn’t have the intention to take all the benefits for himself either. This time, Cai He and Du Sisi really helped a lot in disabling the puppet’s mobility. Of course, he wouldn’t do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

However, as for what the three of them got, which one is more important and which one is less important, only God knows. Anyway, after Cai He inspected the old woman’s spatial ring, joy filled his brows, and he obviously seemed very satisfied with his harvest.

Brother Yang, what shall we do next？” Seemingly due to the previous battle, Cai He couldn’t help but look to Yang Kai for leadership.”

Hearing this, Du Sisi also turned her head and looked over here.

Yang Kai pondered for a moment and then smiled freely： “It’s not a solution to wait here. There is only one exit, and we have no choice. But where this exit leads and what kind of danger there is, we still don’t know. Judging from the fact that this puppet is so tightly guarded, there might be some good things inside…”

Cai He and Du Sisi’s eyes lit up.

Yang Kai’s tone changed, and he said in a deep voice： “But where there are good things, there must also be danger. You two should also be prepared.”

“Naturally. According to Brother Yang’s intention, shall we continue to move forward and explore？”

“Well, anyway, we always have to find a way to leave this ancient ruin.”

Regarding this, the two array mages naturally had no objections. The three of them rested for a while longer, and then Yang Kai led the way and walked towards the round door.

After passing through the round door, Yang Kai suddenly found that there was a straight corridor in the front.

After exploring with his spiritual thoughts and confirming that there was nothing strange, Yang Kai walked forward while remaining vigilant.

The corridor was not long, probably only about a hundred zhang or so. Soon, the three of them passed through this corridor and stepped into another palace.

As soon as he entered this palace, Yang Kai’s eyes shrank, and he looked towards the center of the palace. His face showed an extremely surprised expression, and he blurted out, “Elder Qian？”

Cai He and Du Sisi followed suit. Hearing Yang Kai’s call, they couldn’t help but look over there with joy on their faces. But when they saw the situation over there, they couldn’t help but smile bitterly and secretly felt headache.

Over there, Qian Tong was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also looking over here with a bitter smile on his face.

Beside him, there was also a middle-aged man with the cultivation level of about the Second-Order Saint King. His face was pale, and it seemed that his mind was injured. This person should be the alchemist who followed Qian Tong into this place Yang Kai judged in his heart.

After all, Fei Zhitu said that Qian Tong didn’t come in alone, but brought a Saint-Level alchemist Youdaoplaceholder0 that he could be promoted to the Void Level refiner through this exploration and replace the deceased Master Ge Lin in the Shadow Moon Palace.

Beside the two of them, there was a stone tablet. There were countless small characters engraved densely on the stone tablet. Even though they were so far apart, Yang Kai could still see that those small characters were all ancient characters that they didn’t recognize. But there was an indescribable charm exuding from this stone tablet. It seemed that if one sat in front of the stone tablet and comprehended, one would gain a lot.

In addition, there were more than a dozen puppets gathered around the two of them. Some of these puppets were in human form, while others were in the form of demonic beasts. Each one exuded a fierce and menacing aura, looking extremely difficult to deal with. They were eyeing Qian Tong and the Saint-level forging master with hostility but did not show any intention of launching an attack. Instead, they simply surrounded the two of them in the middle.

After a slightInduction, Yang Kai couldn’t help but groan inwardly.

Even if these dozen or so puppets were not as powerful as the one they had encountered before, they were probably not much weaker. With such a large number, it was no wonder that Qian Tong could only sit there and not dare to act rashly. I’m afraid that if he moved even slightly, he would immediately be torn to pieces by these dozen or so puppets.

“Why did you all come here？” Although Qian Tong’s voice was a little weak, he was not in any serious danger. Looking at the three people who had suddenly stepped into this place, he asked in surprise.

“Elder Qian, these puppets…” Yang Kai did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at the dozen or so puppets with vigilance.

“It’s okay. They are guarding this place. As long as you don’t move forward, nothing will happen. As for this old man… Hmm, with the deterrence of this stone tablet, they also don’t dare to approach, so I won’t die for the time being.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression relaxed. After pondering for a moment, he told Qian Tong about how Fei Zhitu had invited them to come and rescue him.
