Chapter 46 Take them all away
The sounds of chirping and howling beasts filled the air. Blue and white light alternated, enveloping the entire hall. The puppet was also instantly covered by the light, but it was just a puppet, acting on the orders given by its master. Even though it sensed that the other party's strength was increasing, it was not afraid at all.
"Drink!" The puppet raised his axe again, a golden shield appeared around him, and the axe emitted an extremely dazzling light. He stared wide-eyed and kept swinging the axe, each swing as heavy as a thousand pounds.
The puppet felt no pain, and it was able to withstand Tao Tao's attacks, even though cracks were beginning to appear in its armor.
Tao Tao's eyes were cold and clear in the light. She manipulated the double rings in her hands and clashed with the axe that the puppet swung at her. She blocked each attack accurately, but she was not as disheveled as before and could easily catch the blows.
"Swoosh!" After a clear cry, a giant bluebird appeared behind Tao Tao. It gently flapped its wings, instantly creating a hurricane that blew towards the puppet. No matter how hard he tried, he would have to give in to such an attack.
The puppet was blown away and crashed hard into the pillar. The force was so great that even the stone pillar began to shake, and the magic array above was also slightly affected. The puppet's body paused for a few seconds, but in that short moment, Tao Tao had already rushed forward.
Her eyes were devoid of any emotion. She joined her five fingers together and forcefully pierced the puppet's heart. The puppet's hard body was easily pierced by Tao Tao, who tightly gripped the soul stone inside. The puppet immediately lost its ability to move.
But that wasn't enough. Tao Tao actually tried to crush it. You see, the Soul Stone is the core of the puppet. Once it's broken, it will completely lose its mobility unless someone puts the Soul Stone back in and re-forges it.
Tao Tao is trying to completely destroy him; otherwise, given the formation's nature, the puppet, under its master's command, wouldn't stop attacking.
"Crack..." Tao Tao coldly looked at the puppet in front of him, and with a forceful movement, the soul stone shattered instantly. The puppet's eyes dimmed and its head drooped. Tao Tao looked at it with great interest, and even wanted to tear it to pieces.
But as soon as she reached out her hand, her strength was almost completely exhausted. The surrounding light gradually faded, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.
"I..." After regaining consciousness, Tao Tao felt extremely weak and could barely stand up. She had no idea what had just happened and only saw the puppet in front of her standing there motionless.
"The danger is temporarily over. Go get your things. The contents of the box are probably more valuable than what you encountered." Bai Yan walked past her indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened.
Upon hearing that the box could be opened, Tao Tao excitedly jumped up and ran to the center. He found that the box's light was even more dazzling than before. Perhaps because there was no longer any restriction, the discomfort he felt when approaching it disappeared.
Excitedly, she took down the box and opened it. Inside lay a spindle-shaped magical artifact, perfectly intact. Just one glance was enough to tell that this artifact was extraordinary.
This was the first time Tao Tao had ever seen a magical artifact, and he could clearly feel its immense power.
"It's actually the Sun and Moon Time-Space Shuttle! I didn't expect this thing to be in the human realm. No wonder the demonic cultivators went to great lengths to come here; it seems they came for it." Bai Yan recognized the magical artifact at a glance. After listening to his explanation, which was still unclear, he asked in confusion, "What is its use?"
"It can break through space and time and open the connection between two spaces. It is an extremely powerful magic weapon. I think it should at least not exist in the human world."
"Wow, that's amazing! Does that mean I've got a treasure?" Tao Tao excitedly stroked the Sun and Moon Time-Space Shuttle, feeling the power flowing slowly through it.
"I guess so, but it's a hot potato. I advise you not to take it out lightly."
"Oh, I'd better put it away quickly."
Tao Tao carefully closed the box, placed several restrictions on it, and then put it into the storage bracelet. Not giving up, he went and looted all the red lotuses in the area, regardless of whether they were useful or not, he just wanted to collect them first.
Tao Tao had almost plundered all the treasures in Xiaobietian. She also put away several special magical artifacts in the Suspended Palace. After leaving the Suspended Palace, Tao Tao followed Bai Yan to a medicinal garden. The garden was full of rare medicinal herbs, and any one of them could sell for thousands of spirit stones.
Of course, Tao Tao didn't care how much she could sell these for. She first transformed into her beast form and rushed over to devour everything edible and delicious. Then, she returned to Bai Yan's side, patted her belly, and let out a satisfied burp.
"If people outside knew how you were wasting the spiritual materials in Xiaobietian, they would probably want to kill you." Bai Yan shook his head helplessly. These things were commonplace and insignificant to him, but they were treasures to someone with Tao Tao's cultivation level. She, on the other hand, swallowed them without even looking at them.
Tao Tao blinked and smiled sweetly, "Anyway, they don't know."
After it was all over, Tao Tao even dug up a large piece of the spiritual soil and took it with her, just because Bai Yan told her that using this kind of soil to grow spiritual materials could speed up the growth and make the spiritual materials of better quality.
She always believed Bai Yan's words without a doubt. After digging away the soil, she took all the remaining spiritual materials that she could carry, including some precious fruits from the trees. The medicinal garden here, which was originally very prosperous, was turned into a wasteland in the blink of an eye.
"That's enough, let's go." Bai Yan couldn't bear to look at Tao Tao's little bandit-like appearance. He figured he had taken enough things and wanted to leave. Tao Tao touched his nose and nodded, but then suddenly remembered that he had something important to do and quickly said, "Ayan, wait for me."
Then she rushed back into the suspended palace and carefully put away the motionless puppet.
Seeing her actions, Bai Yan couldn't help but shake his head. He thought she was silly and clueless, but she was actually very smart. She knew what was valuable and that it was better to take it with her than to leave it to someone else.
"All done?" Bai Yan asked when he saw Tao Tao return happily. Tao Tao nodded, "All done."
"Take out the time-space shuttle."
Tao Tao obediently did as he was told. After taking out the time shuttle, Bai Yan beckoned it into his hand. With a slight urging, the surrounding air suddenly began to ripple.
"You're lucky; with this, we can finally leave."
"So we couldn't leave before?"
"Of course not. I originally intended to leave when someone came in, but now there's no need for that."
As soon as they finished speaking, a burst of white light enveloped them both...
