After the immortal disappeared

So Dong Rui cut off the conversation and said: "—I will use this to inform you."

Is this a shortened version of the bat puppet just now? After getting smaller, it doesn't look so inconsistent, and the eyes are bigger and brighter.

"Is this your new creation?" Dong Rui had previously denied that there was a new demon puppet, and He Lingchuan knew that he had to listen to the opposite.

"Nonsense." Dong Rui stroked the little bat and warned him, "You have destroyed the original one. This is the only successful orphan product in recent months, don't do it again!"

Do it? He Lingchuan's eyes were filled with questions: "The only one? That means -"

"Yes. You should also count on it during your Xushan operation." Dong Rui said, "This is a brand new species that can transform into two stages! What you just saw at the chariot and horse stack was only the first stage, which is of medium size. It can also transform into Bigger." After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

The bat jumped to the ground and grew in size.

A monster several times larger than before appeared, with a thick body and a ferocious appearance. He Lingchuan's rough measurement showed that its wingspan could reach more than three feet when fully extended, which was similar to Dong Rui's earlier strange bird demon puppet.

It landed on the ground and raised its chest. It wanted to roar loudly, but Dong Rui choked it back with a "shhh".

There are a lot of people in Pian Xiang Villa, and it's not too far from the shore.

"It's also gifted with light winds, so it won't be a problem to carry one person." Dong Rui said solemnly, "If you want to go to heaven, it all depends on it."

"Okay." He Lingchuan leaned over and gently stroked the bat's head.

It’s also a big furry head, but why does this one feel so uncomfortable to touch?

The bat seemed to be enjoying himself. Under Dong Rui's control, it would not attack He Lingchuan casually.

"We still have a big problem." Dong Rui squeezed the storage ring on his hand, "The stock of Prunella Vulgaris is not enough, and there is not enough for the Snail Toad to eat twice more."

He Lingchuan's heart tightened: "How many more days can I carry it?"

It's all in the ring. Dong Rui estimated: "Ten days at most. Because we still have to leave some time to find the prunella vulgaris."

Originally, he could sit back and relax in Lingxu City, and Xi Yunhe was responsible for solving the ration problem of Snail Toad.

Now that Dong Rui has escaped, he has to find ways to raise Prunella vulgaris himself. Otherwise, without the suppressive effect of this herb, the snail toad will soon develop into a complete ghost toad, and then it will not be able to carry the volute shell at all.

This treasure's ability to "dwell" in a small place and escape is something that not all monsters can use, otherwise it would not have been confined to the Qing Palace for so many years.

"Then the plan for Xushan is ahead of schedule." He Lingchuan knew that plans can never keep up with changes. "We will start in five days!"

Dong Rui had no objection.

He Lingchuan's heart moved and he remembered something again: "By the way, what reward did Xi Yunhe give you just now?"

"Oh, this." Dong Rui took out the box and unfolded it.

He Lingchuan looked down and saw that it was a soft leather mask?

"Who did this...?"

"Made by Master Shuangye himself." Dong Rui walked back into the room. The dust on the table had been dusted off. He put the box on it, "as a reward for treating the snail toad."

"Can you wear it?" He Lingchuan knew that Dong Rui's face was not only rotten, but also the jawbone was corroded, and he couldn't support the flesh, so he looked like a wax melting demon. What's the use of wearing a mask?

Dong Rui pointed at his face: "Now take a closer look to see if there are any bones!"

It took a lot of courage to look directly at his face. He Lingchuan couldn't admit that he hadn't looked carefully, so he said vaguely: "It seems there is? Can Master Shuangye give you a chin?"

"Isn't that true?" Dong Rui turned his head and looked at him, "Even the buccal muscles have grown, so I can wear a mask."

After that, he put the mask on his face and adjusted it slowly.

He Lingchuan took out a mirror and asked him to look at it himself.

It was probably Dong Rui's first time wearing it, so he wasn't very skilled at it. It took him a quarter of an hour to get it done. There are even a few elastic soft pillars in the middle to support the back of the jaw to prevent the cheeks from collapsing.

This face looks like he is in his thirties, and he is gentle and elegant, which is probably Dong Rui's own request.

Except for the stiffness when smiling, other expressions are smooth.

He Lingchuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and poked it twice. The touch was indeed like human skin, and it was warm.

If he hadn't seen him put it on with his own eyes, He Lingchuan would have thought it was a real face.

Dong Rui was obviously very satisfied as he winked and shook his head in the mirror longer than the little girl. Finally, He Lingchuan became impatient: "Okay, stop showing off!"

There were some leftover soft pillars in the box. He picked them up and pinched them twice. They were very soft and elastic, much like the silicone material he had seen in another world.

Well, actually it's more like...

He was reminiscing here when he heard Dong Rui say: "Master Shuangye told you not to take it off once you put it on, as it will grow completely with your face in the future. These soft pillars can be thrown away after the tendons are fully grown."

"How can there be such a magical mask that can directly grow into a new face?" He Lingchuan asked doubtfully, "Could it be a magic weapon?" But it didn't look like it to the touch.

Does Imperial Master Shuangye still have this skill? From now on, if you don’t become a national master, you can make a fortune by doing plastic surgery full-time.

"No need to wear a curtain hat anymore." Dong Rui touched his face. No matter how cheerful he was this time, his lips would not go directly to the back of his ears. "No one recognizes me."

One of the hallmarks of this puppet master is his rotten face.

He Lingchuan finally understood why this guy agreed to stay so happily just now. It was because of this.

Even if he were face to face with the pursuers from Lingxu City, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize him as long as they didn't use any tracking powers.

He Lingchuan hesitated, picked up the soft pillar and asked him: "Hey, don't you think this material is familiar?"

They have been in contact with both of them for quite a long time.

Dong Rui glanced at him: "It seems to be that thing. But as long as it allows me to go out and meet people, I dare to wear anything!"

"As expected of you." He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs up, "Do you want me to find another place to live for you?"

It turns out that Dong Rui couldn't see anyone, so He Lingchuan arranged an island in the middle of the lake for him.

"No need." Dong Rui shook his head, "It's quiet here, and I can still do some research. Besides, it's not good for outsiders to see these demon puppets all the time. The snail toad also likes wet mud, and this place is suitable for it."

"I'm going to leave now and I'll bring you the quilt later."

Because of what Qingyang Imperial Master did, He Lingchuan's plan was forced to advance.

Time was too tight and he still had a lot of things to do.

￥￥￥￥￥

That afternoon, Lao Dan came to his door and brought a lot of things to He Lingchuan:

The magical instruments and supplies he asked Li Qingge to customize have been completed!

He Lingchuan couldn't help but said: "Sir Sir Alex really should change his nickname to 'Timely Rain'!"

Lao Dan smiled and said: "I will definitely convey it."

Then, He Lingchuan sent another text message to Fang Canran, asking him for a favor.

In the middle of the night, Fang Canran received a reply with only one simple word:

Yes, but the maximum weight is only one thousand kilograms!

He Lingchuan let out a long breath. Fortunately, he already had helpers in Lingxu City.

Although it is flexible and difficult to detect when working alone, the advantage of having more people is that they can watch each other and deal with emergencies more effectively.

Next, he tinkered in the room for a long time and calculated with pen and paper for a long time. Then he took out the mirror and said to the Juju clone inside: "I'm going up the mountain now."

"What?" The rock fire monster was very alert, "What happened?"

"Looking at the celestial phenomena, there will be heavy rain in the next few days, which will make test flights inconvenient." He Lingchuan said in a calm voice, "It is better to seize the time and confirm the position of the array eye today. Such an important matter cannot be delayed for too long."

Ju Ju thought that the torrential rain in the evening was indeed just the vanguard of the violent storm.

"come on."

He Lingchuan quietly sneaked into the island in the middle of the lake in Pianxiang Villa at night and said to Dong Rui: "Let's go to Xu Mountain."

With Snail Toad in hand, he can also appear and disappear, even skipping the action of getting rid of the Tongxin Guard.

As soon as He Lingchuan approached, Snail Toad reacted. His body suddenly expanded and his mouth moved a few times, as if he wanted to pop out his tongue and eat him.

This attitude is not very friendly. He Lingchuan cautiously took two steps back.

Dong Rui was not afraid of getting his hands wet, so he stroked its head and whispered a few words. He Lingchuan couldn't even hear what he said, and he didn't even know whether humans could understand it.

But after a while of whispering, Snail Toad's attitude softened significantly. Not only did he lie down on the ground, but he also retracted his two raised tentacles at the same time.

Dong Rui, among other things, is a top-notch demon tamer.

"Okay, let's go." Dong Rui patted Snail Toad's big head and whistled again.

The bat demon flew out of nowhere and landed on his shoulder. Then, Dong Rui stepped on the snail toad's body and got into the shell. He Lingchuan followed closely behind, slipping so hard that he almost lost his footing. Fortunately, he had cultivated enough to regain his balance even after stumbling.

Then he felt waves of squirming under his feet. He didn't take a step at all, but his body moved forward, as if he was standing on a conveyor belt.

This is the snail toad using the power of its muscles to transport him deep into the volute.

The combination of mollusks + amphibians is incredible.

Miraculously, the island in the middle of the lake was obviously dark, but the inside of the volute was very bright. He Lingchuan could even see a small door in front of him.

Dong Rui pushed open the door and entered, and He Lingchuan also jumped in.

Then, the scenery in front of me completely changed.

They seemed to be in a small house. The walls and roof were made of a special material, neither wood nor gold, like gray-white stone. He Lingchuan knocked twice, his voice was mute.

It seems to be a volute.

Is this a self-generated small space inside the magical artifact "Snail House"?

There is a window on each of three sides of the house, and on the remaining side, there are two doors.

Although the window is empty, people cannot get out because there is an invisible barrier blocking it.

He Lingchuan looked out the window and directly saw the scenery on the island in the middle of the lake:

The newly opened space, the moist and dark soil, the dense giant banyan trees, the wooden table that had been moved out, and the half meat bun on the table - leftovers from Dong Rui's food.

The windows on three sides face three directions, and people standing in the room have a 270-degree viewing angle.

Dong Rui opened the door they came in and didn't close it.

The two stood in the house and found that outside the two doors were the scenes directly in front of Snail Toad, but the scenery was a little different, as if the angle was changing from time to time.

He Lingchuan understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it:

"Is this the field of view of Snail Toad's two eyes?"
