ASER - Chapter 132
Chapter 132: Royal Flush?
There were about ten to twenty people in red robes, but the leading man possessed an impressive aura and lacked the furtive air of those individuals from the Danzhou Five Elements Cult. At first glance, they even seemed like members of a righteous sect. But an evil cult was an evil cult. His gaze swept over the imprisoned cultivators, who were like fattened lambs, then shifted to the eleven people the Level 7 Snow Demon and the others were about to take. He immediately frowned, "You're taking people again?"
These words made A'Diao's heart stir slightly: Again? So it really wasn't the first time. Then the question arose: if the lairs of the demon spirit world and the demon spirit races initially had an absolute barrier with their world, and they could only come to this world after the lairs descended, then one couldn't really say "again," could they? Judging by these words, coupled with the snow demons' practiced selection of people earlier, it was clear that a batch of the previously missing cultivators had already suffered this fate. So the question was—the lairs had only descended today, just now, how did they manage it?
There could only be one reason—long before the lairs descended, someone was able to travel to the demon spirit world and make deals with the Snow Demon King, even offering these robust young men, rich in yang energy, to the other party.
This was too incredible.
A'Diao suddenly thought, if someone had the ability to traverse between the two worlds only a few months after the spiritual energy revival, could it be that the spiritual energy revival itself was also an elaborately designed scheme?
A'Diao's mind was inherently sharp, and she thought of many things in that moment. But she also vaguely felt that humans and demon spirits could never achieve a perfect state of cooperation, at least their subordinates couldn't.
The Level 7 Snow Demon glanced at the red-robed leader and said coldly, "Third Elder, is it? This doesn't concern you. Step aside."
The Third Elder, however, didn't move aside and continued to block the way, saying in a deep voice, "These people are all top geniuses from the Five Prefectures. They are to be kept for the sacrifice; you can't take them all."
The Level 7 Snow Demon was furious. "Everything here belongs to our King! The King cooperates with you, not for you to order us around, acting as if everything is yours."
The Snow Demon clan indeed wasn't on very good terms with the Five Elements Cult; a few words and tempers flared, becoming confrontational. However, the Third Elder was composed. "Don't forget, the sacrifice is also for your King; it's very important to her. Sacrifices also have a failure rate. We must use some of the geniuses and powerhouses with the purest energy for the offering. Otherwise, capturing ordinary cultivators would suffice; why go to such great lengths and risks? If you want to pick, go outside and pick some ordinary male cultivators. These people must stay. The sacrifice is in an hour. Don't cause any unexpected trouble."
"You should know, if it fails, while it will certainly affect our cult's grand cause, what benefits will your Snow Demon clan gain? Because things went wrong, we had to act prematurely. Now, Xiao Mieluo and his people have likely already received news."
The Level 7 Snow Demon wasn't a fool and retorted, "We've captured everyone. Signals in this area are blocked. Some small fries couldn't possibly escape to spread information. How would they know?"
The Third Elder frowned. "Don't underestimate humans. It's possible that precisely because they've completely lost contact, they'll realize something is wrong—which of the people captured here doesn't have a powerful backing? Losing contact with one or two might be overlooked, but if a whole group can't be reached, do you think they won't investigate, won't send people? Won't contact Xiao Mieluo and the Qingzhou Grand Governor's Mansion? Before their main forces arrive, your King won't be able to advance to Level 10, and our Cult Leader hasn't broken through to the Star Rank yet. If we are attacked by a group of human Glimmer experts, coupled with their inherently superior high-tech weaponry, we will fail all the same."
The Level 7 Snow Demon was somewhat convinced. Most importantly, the Third Elder said, "You can ask the Snow Demon King for instructions and see how she replies. I believe she will also approve of my judgment."
The Level 7 Snow Demon narrowed its crimson eyes, then suddenly closed them, a faint light emanating from between its brows.
A'Diao wondered inwardly if it could directly contact the Snow Demon King remotely.
Indeed, after a short while, the Level 7 Snow Demon opened its eyes and hmphed, "The King says we can swap people. But these individuals we've chosen must be reserved for her altar, not for your Cult Leader. Remember, it is your Five Elements Cult that seeks something from our Snow Demon clan. Everything prioritizes the interests of our Snow Demon clan. These top geniuses naturally belong to our King's first pick."
"So, you're here to pick people?"
Several red-robed figures behind him were very dissatisfied. A cold glint flashed in the Third Elder's eyes, but he suppressed it. He said lightly, "Then we'll listen to the King. These eleven are yours. We'll pick others."
"I also need to re-pick. Together."
...
The two sides were not fond of each other and naturally didn't show any pleasantries. Han Zhuo and the others had narrowly escaped the crisis of being defiled, but the subsequent situation wasn't much better.
Sacrifice in an hour?
They were all going to be sacrificed? Then it would be better to... better to, well, you know.
Zhao Ritian's puppet was also thrown back into the cell. However, Han Zhuo and the others were thrown in along with it. A crowd of people squeezed in with Bao Chong, Elder Han, and the others.
The Level 7 Snow Demon patted the cell door. "This one belongs to our King. You are not to touch them."
Fuck!
The strongest experts and geniuses all belong to your King, what are we, the Five Elements Cult, supposed to pick?!
If the Third Elder hadn't restrained them, these red-robed people would have really started a fight with the Level 7 Snow Demon and its group.
However, this time, the Level 7 Snow Demon mainly watched the Third Elder and his group pick people.
Although they weren't allowed to pick the best geniuses, the Third Elder and his group needed a large quantity. They took over a hundred people from cell block 1, five hundred from cell block 2... the numbers gradually increased. In the end, they took away two thousand people.
A full two thousand people.
A'Diao then realized there was another group of Five Elements Cult members outside. Several hundred cultists led these two thousand people away.
A'Diao narrowed her eyes and deliberately muttered beside the Level 7 Snow Demon, "Boss, giving them so many people? That's more than what's left for the King. Are they worthy? Won't these people be detrimental to the King? I hear humans are most fond of betrayal."
What she said was also what the other Level 6 Snow Demons were thinking. The Level 7 Snow Demon narrowed its eyes and sneered, "Don't worry. In terms of power, the King is Level 9, and their Cult Leader is only Glimmer Middle Rank; he can't beat the King. And although their cult has many people, we have three Level 8 Snow Demon leaders on our side, and dozens more like me."
Holy crap! So strong!
A'Diao was already shocked, but then she heard the Level 7 Snow Demon continue, unable to hold its tongue, "Besides..."
Besides what?
A'Diao was extremely curious. Suddenly, a red light flashed between the Level 7 Snow Demon's brows, and it stopped talking. "Can't say anymore. Let's go quickly. We've delayed for so long, the King is urging us."
It looked very anxious.
A'Diao could only drag the person (the puppet) and follow behind, but she felt a little anxious. Because now she was certain that this Snow Demon King was Level 9. Could her disguise deceive it?
Toilet: "If the other party doesn't have a high-level mental body talent, you probably won't be exposed. Because your mental body is very strong, and you've mastered the Space Notes, adding a layer of personal space concealment to yourself. But what if this Snow Demon King has mental talents..."
A'Diao: "Doesn't that depend on their racial talents? They already have the Extreme Cold Confinement talent, can they also have high-level mental body talents? Fuck, is this race cheating?"
Toilet: "You don't know, the kings of high-bloodline demon spirit races like this are different from other clan members. They can have mutated talents, much stronger than the bosses of ordinary demon spirit races. 50% of the Extreme Cold Confinement in this lair originates from this King's individual talent. But that doesn't mean it only has this one talent."
A'Diao narrowed her eyes, suddenly remembering that the Level 7 Snow Demon could contact this King remotely... Her heart suddenly sank.
"Then it's game over. This Snow Demon King most likely has abilities in this area, because it can remotely contact these subordinates."
Therefore, she absolutely could not appear before the Snow Demon King, or she would definitely be done for!
What to do, what to do!
A'Diao was anxious for only three seconds, then suddenly had an idea. She deliberately put on a worried, distracted look. This appearance aroused the Level 7 Snow Demon's suspicion. It asked, "What's wrong with you?!"
Seeing all the snow demons looking at her, A'Diao lowered her head, somewhat afraid to speak.
The Level 7 Snow Demon became wary and deliberately stopped. "You..."
"Boss, I just noticed the people Third Elder and his group picked. Apart from the geniuses we stopped, they actually picked humans who were only lightly poisoned. I was just thinking, this poison was originally given to us by them. Now, the ones left for the King are those who are more deeply poisoned. Isn't that strange?"
A'Diao was certain the poison was from the Five Elements Cult because she recognized what kind of poison it was; it existed in the outside world. It was a man-made knockout toxin that didn't harm the body's foundation, only used to control people. It wasn't naturally occurring in the demon spirit world, so it must have been given by the Five Elements Cult.
And what she said was indeed the truth.
The ones Third Elder and his group picked were indeed lightly poisoned. Whether it was accidental or intentional, A'Diao would make it out to be a scheme by the Five Elements Cult.
So, after the Level 7 demon spirit's expression changed slightly and the other Level 6 demon spirits paused and then recalled...
"It seems so. Now that you mention it, I remember too."
"Indeed, they were all people who were still conscious, not unconscious."
"It doesn't make sense. Unconscious people are easier to control and less prone to accidents. Why would they do that?"
The Level 7 demon spirit's eyes glinted darkly as it looked at A'Diao. A'Diao then continued to add, "And what's even stranger is that so many of them came."
The Level 7 demon spirit: "They arranged for several hundred people to come and transport them from the beginning. This shows they had already decided to pick those who weren't deeply poisoned. This must be their plan!"
At this moment, A'Diao feigned unease. "Perhaps I'm overthinking it, Boss. I usually let my imagination run wild. It wouldn't be good if it caused any misunderstandings. Please don't let these wild thoughts of mine cause any trouble. After all, our cooperation with the Five Elements Cult is very important. I just hope the King is well, and that my brothers and sisters and you, Boss, are also well."
Her fearful, uneasy, and worried demeanor, posture, and tone were strikingly similar to certain classic lines from a "hardcore green tea" archetype: "Big brother, maybe I'm overthinking it. You must explain to your girlfriend for me. I didn't mean to doubt her. I just... I just hope you two are well, and I hope you're well too, big brother..."
"No, this discovery of yours is very important. Don't worry, I will tell the King." The Level 7 demon spirit, on the contrary, became more convinced of this suspicion. It patted A'Diao's shoulder. "But this matter is of great importance. You all wait outside. I'll go in and report. Give me the people."
It then dragged away those cultivators to see the King alone, leaving A'Diao and the others outside.
Why?
A'Diao lowered her eyes and smiled faintly inwardly. "Taking credit," this top-tier work skill, truly transcends species and targets. This Level 7 demon spirit was also a cunning one.
However, A'Diao glanced at the passage ahead, which emanated a terrifyingly cold aura. She thought to herself that this place should still be several hundred meters away from the Snow Demon King's lair. To be able to release such a strong aura from so far away was indeed terrifying. She wondered what kind of display it would put on.
Inside the lair, the Level 7 Snow Demon entered. It saw a huge, ice-glowing chrysalis ahead, within which the silhouette of a snow demon was faintly visible. Its physique seemed similar to theirs.
The Level 7 Snow Demon lowered its head and reported "its" discovery. "This subordinate finds this matter very strange. Humans are cunning; they might be harboring some conspiracy."
The Snow Demon King was silent for a moment, then said in a charming voice, "Humans, especially traitors among humans, are naturally not entirely trustworthy. This discovery is very important. That toxin might conflict with the properties of the altar I use. You go and pick out all the chosen people for me, and remove the toxin for them."
The Level 7 Snow Demon: "But if they recover their vitality..."
The Snow Demon King's voice suddenly became rough and powerful, like a man's: "Under my nose, even if they have vitality, they are like mud and can't make any waves."
"Also, they gave me the altar. Since there's scheming involved, don't forget they are on my Snow Demon clan's territory. I will arrange for people to spy on the tracks of their subordinates and see if they are in contact with anyone outside..."
"Humans, ah, they are best at dog-eat-dog."
The Level 7 Snow Demon acknowledged but didn't go out immediately. Because the unconscious young men on the ground were all ensnared by tentacles. Soon, they were pulled into the ice-glowing chrysalis.
Only faint moans could be heard. After a while, it ended. These people were sent out by the tentacles.
A'Diao and the other snow demons saw the Level 7 Snow Demon come out, dragging the people who had gone in earlier.
One look, and A'Diao muttered inwardly: It was really that fast, an average of 60 seconds per person? And they seemed to have been completely drained, their faces sallow and shriveled.
It wasn't that she was just watching the show; A'Diao always felt a strange palpitation about this Snow Demon King's so-called "yang-absorbing period."
The leaders of these demon spirit races wouldn't do meaningless things.
In novels, those demons absorbed yang energy to maintain their beauty. Could this Snow Demon King also be so vain?
Meanwhile, the Level 7 Snow Demon said to A'Diao and the others, "The King will arrange for people to monitor the Five Elements Cult. We can't keep an eye on Third Elder and his group, but you can handle those cultists. Be sure not to expose yourselves. Follow them carefully. Report immediately if you find anything. The sacrifice is in 50 minutes. There can be no delay."
It wanted to pick clever ones to do the tracking, and A'Diao was naturally among them.
This was originally part of A'Diao's plan, so she naturally agreed. But glancing at the hastily departing Level 7 Snow Demon, she thought that the next step should be removing the poison from Song Ling and the others. This would save her the trouble of having to go back and clear the poison for them later... But even so, she didn't have much time left.
How to resolve this situation?
Toilet: "Aren't you going to inform Xiao Jin about these current discoveries?"
A'Diao: "No. Good steel must be used on the blade's edge. I always feel this Snow Demon King is very treacherous. Looking at her arrangements for this matter, it shows she didn't trust those from the Five Elements Cult from the start. It has such a strong mental body; it should be able to release it to directly spy on the entire lair and monitor them. Yet, it still arranged for these subordinates to directly follow the Five Elements Cult members... Why do I feel like it's fishing?"
Toilet: "?"
A'Diao didn't dare make any unusual moves and obediently went to follow the Five Elements Cult members like the other snow demons.
Fortunately, she was only following ordinary cultists, but after a while, her blood ran cold.
A'Diao: "There's a mental tether tracking me."
Toilet: "..."
It was the Snow Demon King.
Had it seen through A'Diao?
A'Diao didn't think so. It was this Snow Demon King deliberately using its subordinate lesser demons to bait the people from the Five Elements Cult.
She didn't know how the Cult Leader of the Five Elements Cult would react.
Anyway, A'Diao planned to play dead for a while. She figured the sacrifice was soon, and no matter what the Snow Demon King discovered on the Cult Leader's side, it wouldn't be distracted for long and would soon retract the tether.
Then she could escape... However, after only two or three minutes, this cultist received an order to go see the Cult Leader!
Fuck!
Toilet: "Your situation is very dangerous now."
Of course, it was very dangerous. Originally, A'Diao wished the Cult Leader and the Snow Demon King would have some conflict and fight, preferably both suffering heavy losses. But if she was present, wouldn't the small fry like her be the ones to die when the fighting started?
If she wasn't exposed, she'd die; if she was exposed, she'd also be killed by the two big bosses.
This situation was too difficult.
Follow or not? Not following might be detected by the Snow Demon King. Following would...
A'Diao braced herself and followed, but she also activated her mental body, entering the Soaring Serpent and starting it up.
Soon, she was hiding behind a cold, icy rock, and saw the Five Elements Cult members gathered among a pile of stones ahead.
She also saw the higher-ups of the Five Elements Cult and the Cult Leader, but her attention was first drawn to the array diagram on the altar.
Holy crap!
This array formation... she had memorized it before in Danzhou. At that time, to prevent it from spreading, she had deliberately concealed and destroyed a part of it; only she knew the full version. She didn't expect to see it here again, but this one seemed a bit different, modified in parts.
That time it was wine jars; this time it was hundreds of copper censers.
A'Diao's thoughts raced: So, summoning lairs or spirit gates was indeed controllable; one only needed to change the content of these array formations. But the one in Danzhou ultimately attracted lair demon spirits. This one didn't seem to be for attracting lairs, but rather for attracting spirit gates, or rather, energies like spiritual power and spiritual essence.
Toilet: "To be precise, this Cult Leader and that Snow Demon King want to extract the internal energy of all the sacrifices for their own use, to successfully break through. Moreover, if that Cult Leader is Glimmer Middle Rank, he can directly break through to the Star Rank. No wonder they are taking such desperate risks."
A'Diao: "Is Star Rank very difficult?"
Toilet: "What do you think? And it's not just about difficulty; it's mainly about saving time. You should know, even with your current talent, it would take at least half a year at the very fastest to reach Star Rank. Other geniuses would take even longer, at least a year, or even several years. If one could save a year and reach Star Rank earlier, how much power and status could they contend for? Taking one step faster is equivalent to being several echelons above others. What's more, they could also handle the situation in the Five Prefectures and successfully seize their territory... The benefits are too great. And Xiao Mieluo and his people would be absolutely powerless to resist because they don't have any Star Rank experts on their side to counter it."
Indeed.
A'Diao also saw the Cult Leader. This person was wearing a mask and was inspecting the two thousand sacrifices that had been delivered... A'Diao was currently in a peeping state. She was very sure that there were other snow demons here, peeping just like her.
She didn't know if the Level 7 and Level 8 ones had been exposed, but could it be that this Cult Leader hadn't even noticed the Level 6 ones?
If he had noticed, how would he react?
The Cult Leader, dressed in red robes, was tall and very thin. The skin of his exposed palms was very fair and smooth, looking like that of a young person.
No one else wore a mask, only him.
"Cult Leader, everyone is here."
"Put everyone into the copper censers."
The copper censers were very large; one could hold dozens of people. The two thousand people were divided and stuffed into the individual copper censers. And the copper censers were positioned at a hundred locations on the huge altar. If connected by lines, they would form a hexagram.
A'Diao had already recorded all of this using the Soaring Serpent and was planning to continue watching. Suddenly, probably because the altar now contained these living bodies, it began to preheat, releasing wave after wave of mysterious fluctuations.
Initially, it wasn't much, but A'Diao suddenly felt that this altar was affecting energy trajectories, and it was not affected by the Extreme Cold Confinement.
"Fuck! My 'Even My Parents Wouldn't Recognize Me' seems to be collapsing!"
"Its duration is weakening!"
"I estimate I'll reveal my true form in two minutes!!!"
Damn, damn, damn! She just wanted to gather some intelligence, not try to steal chickens and get rich. Why was it so difficult this time? Restricted the whole way, and as soon as she arrived, she was sandwiched by two big bosses?!
A'Diao would never have imagined that after deceiving the eyes of the Cult Leader and the Snow Demon King, she would die in the mysterious fluctuations of this altar!
In the death crisis that was about to arrive as those short one or two minutes were ending.
A'Diao's thoughts raced. She suddenly noticed that the other snow demons and those cultists looked somewhat uncomfortable—right, spirit cores and spirit clusters were both energy sources, so naturally, they were also affected.
A'Diao had a flash of inspiration. She deliberately used the altar's fluctuations to make her body slightly dizzy, her claws making a very faint, almost imperceptible noise on the stone.
She knew this noise wasn't actually important. What was important was—the Cult Leader must have known about their presence long ago. But he also certainly knew the Snow Demon King was fishing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the array preheat. That was to prevent the Snow Demon King from doing anything to the unactivated array. Once preheated, he could sense anything the Snow Demon King did to the array.
Even if it consumed more energy, he didn't care.
But he didn't want to reveal that he already knew the Snow Demon King was spying, because that would expose the fact that his mental body was also very strong.
These were all discoveries A'Diao had deduced.
So... A'Diao gave him an opportunity.
The Cult Leader ahead indeed turned his head and looked in her direction. His eyes narrowed, and a wave of mental impact...
Swoosh!
Under the Extreme Cold Confinement, within the lair, only mental power attacks were the most terrifying and supreme method. And this Cult Leader actually possessed such a secret technique, detecting and instantly attacking A'Diao... as well as the other few hiding Level 6 Snow Demons.
Plop!
Several Level 6 Snow Demons, including A'Diao, all fell. Their mental bodies were shattered, and they naturally died completely.
Including A'Diao.
And this scene was also captured by the Snow Demon King's prying tether.
The Cult Leader looked indifferently at A'Diao's and the others' corpses. "Drag them out."
Several cultists came over and dragged away the corpses of these snow demons.
The corpses were dragged along the ground. The Snow Demon King didn't care about some subordinates dying and retracted the tether.
After a while, these corpses were directly thrown off a cliff by several cultists...
"Snow demons who don't know life from death."
"Never mind some of the Level 7 or 8 ones up there, even Level 6 snow demons dare to tail the Cult Leader and his group. Truly courting death!"
"Let's go! The altar is about to start."
They left, unaware that among the corpses they threw off the cliff, one hadn't fallen all the way down. She was clinging to the cliff face below.
Feigning death to escape was successful!
Toilet: "Luckily, your mental body is stronger, allowing you to feign death. And that Snow Demon King only sent out a wisp of a tether, rather than its mental main body being here. Otherwise, you would have been dead for sure just now."
A'Diao wasn't very happy, though. "Damn it, what's the background of this Cult Leader? Weren't the Five Elements Cult said to be a disorganized mob? How do they also have mental attack secret techniques?"
She had even kneeled to become a disciple to obtain Spirit Attachment. And she was still in the stage of building her foundation and practicing with threads. Yet, this guy was already projecting his mental body for attacks?!
Comparisons are odious!
Toilet, however, was disdainful: "It looks impressive, but even a newly dug latrine has some initial buzz. If you didn't learn the highly skilled Spirit Attachment and just used crude methods for mental attacks..."
A'Diao: "Would I be stronger than him?"
Toilet: "Not necessarily. I just compared his mental body attack. It feels like his total mental body strength isn't weaker than yours currently. But your current mental body is just the tip of the iceberg. In the future, with your total mental body strength, you'll definitely be stronger than him. Just watch, in the future, your 'latrine' will definitely be five-star."
A'Diao: "..."
I guess I'm barely comforted by you.
But A'Diao also knew that to break out of this lair, she could only rely on methods like mental threads.
A'Diao made a new plan based on the current situation. First, she relayed all the information out through the Soaring Serpent. This included the dirty dealings within the Five Elements Cult and the Snow Demon clan, the upper limits of the Cult Leader's and Snow Demon King's abilities, and that they were both preparing to break through, etc. She reckoned Xiao Jin could also make some deployments based on this current information.
For example, the identities of those Five Elements Cultists were basically all exposed; only the Cult Leader's identity remained unknown.
Toilet: "But the most important thing is that the reinforcements she sends have powerful combat strength and can deal with this Extreme Cold Confinement bug. Otherwise, they can only wait for Xiao Mieluo to return with his army from A Zone."
"He can't come back unless he abandons A Zone. But B Zone has already been emptied of most of its forces. Once A Zone is also emptied, it's equivalent to Zones A, B, C, and D being completely opened up by the enemy, allowing the demon spirit armies to gather and launch a strong offensive on the mainland. That would be an extremely dire situation for the Five Prefectures—don't forget, the ocean surface should be completely frozen now. This also means that most of the demon spirits in the entire Southern Sea Region have gained the protection of a strong ice layer. The fleet attacks, where humans have the most advantage, will have most of their power intercepted. And such extreme cold temperatures will also prevent the fleet from flying at low altitudes... otherwise, their energy systems will malfunction."
These were all strategic issues that the high command of the Five Prefectures' military needed to consider. A'Diao felt that with the Xiao siblings' methods of controlling the Five Prefectures for so many years and resisting pressure from the Imperial Court to prevent the division of military power, they should be able to make proper arrangements. Since she had already taken responsibility for spying and relaying the intelligence back, she had completed her job.
What remained for her were two choices.
Should she withdraw from the lair to save her life, or stay and do something more?
A'Diao checked the time.
Two altars, two sacrifices. The beneficiaries would be the Cult Leader and the Snow Demon King, respectively.
Half an hour left.
There was half an hour until Song Ling and the others would be sacrificed.
Once the sacrifice succeeded, no matter how strong the forces Xiao Jin and the others deployed, it would be useless.
It would also be useless for Xiao Mieluo to rush back with his men.
Currently, it was divided into enemy and friendly sides.
The enemy's biggest "bug" was: the Extreme Cold Confinement. Once the Extreme Cold Confinement was knocked out, with her combat power, as long as she didn't face the Cult Leader and the Snow Demon King teamed up simultaneously, and employed some sneaky tactics, she could definitely inflict heavy damage on the enemy's overall setup. And Bao Chong and the others, currently prisoners and sacrifices, would become landmines that would backfire on them!
Then how to knock out the Extreme Cold Confinement?
Then one had to talk about A'Diao's advantages.
1. The trust in the cooperation between the Five Elements Cult and the Snow Demon clan was thinner than toilet paper used for wiping one's ass. It was entirely held together by a common enemy, but it would break as soon as their own interests were involved.
2. She had Spirit Attachment and space concealment techniques, but she needed to project the mental threads of Spirit Attachment outwards.
3. She had two Spiritual Cores. One Spiritual Core was in a dimensional space and was not affected by this lair's Extreme Cold Confinement. It could be said that as long as she needed to, she could instantly unleash her combat power. But the prerequisite was that she could get close to the Cult Leader and the Snow Demon King, inflict maximum damage on them, and make them lose their combat advantage over her. Otherwise, their mental attacks could knock her out in one round.
That's right, the third point was the royal flush!
But she only had one chance to attack. If it was gone, it was over.
Without even thinking, A'Diao did one thing—she began to inwardly examine the neural network in the head of the large whale carcass. Then, she used her mental threads to connect her own brain domain with this neural network.
Toilet: "??? What are you doing?"
A'Diao: "These demon spirits' control over their mental bodies is naturally superior to that of humans. Since Big Sister Qu got her inspiration from demon spirits, then copying them naturally isn't wrong. I have to try. Once successful, even if I can't master their talent for splitting tethers into threads, it can still speed up my control over mental threads. I need to project them outwards in advance; otherwise, it will be very difficult to resolve this situation."
Sometimes, "just trying" is equivalent to "just dying."
But she faced her own monstrous talent squarely. Her mental body was her most terrifying aptitude. She had even managed to create 5555 mental threads; what was copying a whale's mental network in comparison?
What was it! Do it!
Toilet knew that even if A'Diao had some expectations for the strength of the Xiao siblings, she wasn't a dodder flower who would pin all her hopes on others.
She wanted to grasp the chance of victory in her own hands!
Enemy, friend, enemy, friend... The enemy had two, but she was just one. When it came to stirring up trouble, it still had to be her, A'Diao!
As for what the Xiao siblings did, it couldn't affect her grasp of the situation.
Toilet thought to itself: Yes, this is the troublemaker spirit I know. No matter how difficult the situation, no matter how restrictive, it couldn't stop her from stirring up trouble!
