Chapter 246 Teleported to the Demon Realm
Lan Yue held a golden stone, staring dumbfounded at the vast expanse of black fog before her.
But isn't this a bit strange? There's only one golden stone at the top of the Tower of the Abyss, and she hasn't found the inheritance yet, but another teleportation vortex has appeared.
Lan Yue subconsciously thought that the teleportation vortex was going to take her to the inheritance site, so that she could receive the inheritance of the Heavenly Witch Clan just like the female protagonist. So she was taken to an independent space.
However, she did arrive in an unfamiliar space, but something seemed off, because the map in the upper right corner had changed, as if she had arrived in the territory of the demons.
Lan Yue shook the golden stone in her hand, trying to get it to tell her what had happened. However, the golden stone seemed to sense the nine-story tower and flew into it in a flash, disappearing from sight.
With her last hope dashed, she could only stare at the black groundhog that darted out from the ground.
A moment later, the groundhog shrieked and ran away as if it had encountered some kind of ultimate villain.
Lan Yue: "..."
"Tongzi, Tong'er, tell me quickly what happened? Why did we suddenly change maps?"
"Shouldn't I be sent by the Tower Spirit of the Tower of the Abyss to receive the inheritance? How could the Tower Spirit from the Central Holy Land deceive me?"
After the system emerged, it sensed the surrounding environment and paused for a moment.
"The Tower of the Abyss did not deceive you. You have obtained the inheritance of the Central Holy Land. This commotion was caused by the demons. They have set up a teleportation array there."
Hearing the system's confirmation, Lan Yue was extremely surprised. When did she obtain the inheritance? How come she didn't know about it?
Lan Yue blinked, as if she had thought of something, and glanced at the miniature nine-story array tower in her hand.
"Could the inheritance I received be that golden stone I just got? This cowardly guy rushed into the tower as soon as he arrived. Could it be an important inheritance from the Central Holy Land?"
The system's voice was calm: "This golden stone is the inheritance mark of the Central Holy Land, just like the mark that the female protagonist accidentally stepped on. Once triggered, it can take you to the inheritance space."
"It seems that this inheritance mark is incomplete. The missing part is probably related to the demon race."
With the system's reminder, Lan Yue suddenly remembered that both Baili Xingzhou and the original novel had mentioned that the Tower of the Abyss had been stolen by the Demon Clan and secretly studied for a hundred years before being retrieved by the predecessors of the Central Holy Land.
The demons themselves couldn't obtain the inheritance, so they must have set up traps in this tower to prevent the people of the holy land from receiving the crucial inheritance.
And so, this unlucky girl was born, skipping all the steps and being transported to the Demon Realm in one go.
No wonder the tower spirit of the Tower of the Abyss has been asleep for so long. It might also be a trick by the demons to delay the time when the Northern Ridge Holy Land will receive its inheritance.
So cunning, so incredibly cunning!
No wonder in the original work, if it weren't for the protagonist group's incredible luck, and if Yunxi hadn't awakened the bloodline of the Heavenly Witch Clan and stopped the attack of so many demon kings at the crucial moment, the Northern Ridge Holy Land would have fallen apart.
"System, please save your host! My sudden appearance in the Demon Realm, a cultivator of spiritual power, is blatantly telling them that the Central Holy Land's legacy has moved here!"
Lan Yue immediately shouted for help to the system.
"Would you like to spend 1,000 points to activate a special mode that converts your spiritual energy into magical energy?"
"Special reminder: There will be a three-month settling period after the conversion, during which you will not be able to convert the magic power back into your body."
The system's voice rang in my mind.
"Start!" Lan Yue shouted impatiently.
In an instant, all the spiritual power in her body disappeared, and dark magic power gradually emerged in her dantian.
"Would you like to spend extra points to modify your body shape?" the system asked again.
"It can even change my body shape? Hurry up and change it! I refuse to believe that even if my appearance changes and the spiritual power within me transforms into demonic power, those demons will still be able to detect me!"
Ten minutes later, a cute little black "glutinous rice ball" popped out from the place shrouded in dark clouds.
Lan Yue jumped to the side of a small puddle, looked at her body, and fell silent again.
She originally wanted to sculpt a demon race she had seen in the Demon Realm battlefield, so that she wouldn't give herself away.
But while the idea was wonderful, the reality was quite difficult. Her hands seemed to be outside her own; no matter how she tried to shape it, it was very different from what she imagined. In the end, when time was almost up, she simply rolled the model into a small black ball and drew two big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth on it, which is how it became the black little dumpling it is today.
I have to say, those little black glutinous rice balls are so bouncy and chewy, they look pretty good to squeeze. Ugh, why is she squeezing herself?
Although the specific process wasn't perfect, Lan Yue was generally very satisfied. After all, her body shape had undergone a complete transformation, almost resembling a real glutinous rice ball. Even if the demons racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the connection between her and their true form.
Satisfied, Lan Yue jumped over the small puddle in front of her, bounced a few more times in the distance, and hopped forward.
Although it had no legs, the small black ball had amazing jumping ability and was very fast, and soon it left the area where the black mist was located.
Just as Lan Yue was feeling very fortunate to have left that strange place, a large hand suddenly pressed down on her and precisely pinched the small black ball that was bouncing on the ground.
"What kind of strange race is this? Why do they look like human glutinous rice balls?"
A somewhat flamboyant voice came over, and the little black ball was slowly lifted up until it finally saw an exquisitely beautiful face with a beauty mark under its eye.
"Hey, Little Tangyuan, are you lost?"
Its big mouth opened and closed, revealing its snow-white teeth.
If Lan Yue had megalophobia, she would probably have fainted by now. She kept quiet, afraid that someone would notice something was amiss.
"Sixth Prince, there's a fluctuation at the teleportation array. The device at the Northern Ridge Holy Land has been triggered. We should hurry and find the inheritance of the Tower of the Abyss to eliminate the last hope of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, otherwise His Highness the Demon King will be angry."
A man in black robes standing nearby reminded him.
"Let the old guy get angry, it's not like he'll lose a single drop of blood."
The man's voice was languid, as if he didn't care about the matter.
The man in black following behind choked, and after a long pause, he reminded him again.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming right now. Don't disturb me and Hei Tangyuan's bonding process."
Black Tangyuan himself: "..."
Damn it, who wants to develop feelings for you?
Let me go right now! 凸(｀0´)凸
However, no matter how much Lan Yue struggled, it was useless. She was taken back to the place she had just left by this demon called the Sixth Prince.
Moreover, the small puddle that Lan Yue had struggled to jump over earlier was directly stepped into by the Sixth Prince, and the puddle disappeared, firmly buried by black soil.
Lan Yue: "..."
Now she finally realized how big the difference was between her body shape and this guy's. It was all because she hadn't adjusted the parameters properly. When the system reminded her, she was too anxious when the time was up and only cared about making herself rounder, forgetting to pay attention to the size.
Otherwise, even if she had to roll herself into a ball, she would make herself a giant ball! So that with the slightest movement, she could flatten the Sixth Prince!
All I can say now is tears!
"The fluctuations in spiritual energy are rather faint. It seems that the person who was teleported here disappeared a long time ago. After all, he was a prodigy from the Northern Ridge Holy Land. How could he be so foolish as to stay and be captured by us?"
The Sixth Prince, dressed in a cloak, didn't seem to care. Instead, he was very interested in the small black ball in his hand and even pressed it with his finger.
A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!
Lan Yue struggled to bounce back to her original round shape and glared fiercely at the other party.
She'll find out what's going on with this Sixth Prince later, and then find an opportunity to write down all the embarrassing things he's done, and circulate them throughout the Demon Realm so that all the demons can see them!
"Oh, this little guy is quite fierce. Where are your parents?" The Sixth Prince smiled and pinched the little dumpling again.
"You're not going to talk, huh? If you're not going to talk, then you don't have parents. Perfect, come with me, and I'll treat you to the best of everything!"
After the Sixth Prince finished speaking, he picked up the little dumpling, turned around, and left, leaving the black-robed demon behind him dumbfounded.
No, Your Highness, you haven't finished your mission yet, and you're already going back like this?
At least pretend to look around, that would be a good way to get it over with. Let's not be so perfunctory, okay?
However, no matter how dumbfounded the demon was, it did not attract the slightest attention from his sixth prince. Instead, he watched helplessly as the other party walked further and further away with the little black ball, and kept talking to himself.
The little black ball of fur got so angry every time that it would bounce its round body at the Sixth Prince's head, almost knocking itself unconscious.
Black-robed demon: "..."
Well, given that he's stuck with a prince like this, he should have known the outcome long ago!
