"What if the sacrifice needed by the Talisman Vengeful God this time is a soul? If it requires souls, then over the past two years, the souls it has devoured would be enough to make its power soar."
Xu Ranās words sent a chill down Ye Pingās spine.
Using souls as sacrifices!
Yes.
How could he not have thought of that?!
The first time, ninety-nine altars devoured the flesh and blood of cultivators, including Mountain Realm Cultivators and children...
The second time, the Mysterious Talisman was suppressed quickly, so it did not cause much negative impact.
The third time, the underwater Giant Stone Talisman might have devoured souls!
This year alone, the number of drowning deaths has reached 10,000. Perhaps the Talisman Vengeful God has already devoured 10,000 souls!
Thatās rather terrifying!
Ye Ping rubbed his temples, his face full of irritation: "If your speculation is true, then the Talisman Vengeful God would be a hundred times more troublesome than the Nightmare Vengeful Mother."
"It is more cautious, more bizarre, better at hiding, better at lurking within human society to commit crimes secretly."
Xu Ran nodded slightly in agreement with Ye Pingās words.
The Talisman Vengeful God is an incredibly vexing foe.
However.
Itās been hiding its head and tail, only using talismans for small actions, definitely a cunning creature.
It must have weaknesses!
If we could learn its talismans, or find its weaknesses, there could be ways to counter it.
"Donāt panic. First, letās see what the symbols on the riverbedās giant stone actually look like... You took a photo, right, Uncle Ye?"
Ye Ping nodded: "I did. Let me find it for you to see."
Although a photo cannot convey the eeriness, Uncle Ye still took a picture and showed it to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran took the photo, scrutinized it carefully, then looked up after a few seconds.
"Strange, I didnāt sense any eerie aura from it... On the contrary, I found a sense of peace from the symbols, itās too bizarre!"
"No, we must examine the site firsthand, this thing is way too deceptive... Letās go to the site!"
Ye Ping: "I came to find you because I wanted to invite you to examine the site. You shouldnāt be busy, right?"
Xu Ran shook his head: "Not busy, just watching Zhu Yuheng and Tiger Girlās battle."
Ye Ping glanced toward the center of the Beast Fighting Arena, raising an eyebrow: "Hmm? This combat ability... can actually attack Little Liuliās Golden Little Pagoda with just a palm?"
He was stunned.
Thatās not ordinarily strong.
"Oh! The credit of the Nirvana Flame?!"
He seemed to have thought of something, looking at Xu Ran with a peculiar expression.
Xu Ran smiled warmly: "Yes. The Nirvana Flame burns the body, achieving Nirvana success. So it has such physical strength. Very dangerous, even a slight mistake could result in annihilation, but thanks to Little Yuhengās Heaven-Gifted Passive invincibility, she achieved it."
Listening to Xu Ranās tone.
Ye Ping gave Xu Ran a peculiar look up and down.
"Why can you withstand it?"
"How could I not withstand the Nirvana Flame created by my Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques? Besides, using this thing also has some danger."
"Okay, enough chat. Letās go to examine the riverbed giant stone site. The matter of the Talisman Vengeful God is important."
Although Tiger Girl and Zhu Yuheng were still battling.
He did not continue watching the battle.
He just deliberately glanced at the fight between Zhu Yuheng and Tiger Girl. Thereās no doubt, Tiger Girl is definitely the ultimate victor, her Tier Two and Third Stage abilities are excessively strong.
The Golden Little Pagoda integrates offense, defense, and control!
Space Transfer can instantly appear behind Zhu Yuheng for an attack!
Even though Zhu Yuheng has more than 13,000 Qi Blood Value, coupled with Nirvana Flameās physical strength, itās still tough.
To withstand the current stageās Golden Little Pagodaās firm control, at least 50,000 Qi Blood Value is needed!
But anyway.
Zhu Yuheng being able to tangle with Tiger Girl to this stage is already outstanding enough.
Thereās no need to worry about ranking issues anymore.
When she awakens the Tier Two abilities and Third Stage abilities, it will truly be her time to transform from a cocoon to a butterfly.
Xu Ran smiled slightly.
Followed Uncle Ye away.
At the kindergarten gate, a dedicated car was already waiting.
After getting in the car.
Xu Ran picked up the photo to keep watching: "Do other high-incidence drowning areas have similar runes?"
Ye Ping took a deep breath, steady as Mount Tai: "The Investigation Corps and Cleaning Corps are deployed and searching."
"I estimate within one or two hours, there will be new intelligence. Runes carved on the giant stones, even if they donāt have eerie aura, will still be found by the Investigation Corps. Itās just a matter of time."
"If weāre quick, even within half an hour."
Xu Ran sighed in relief: "Itās good that the Investigation Corps and Cleaning Corps are taking action."
"Given the Talisman Vengeful Godās maliciousness, this surely isnāt its only setup. Maybe every high-incidence drowning area has similar stone carvings..."
Ye Ping nodded: "There definitely are. I want to find all and destroy them!"
"I must say, the Talisman Vengeful God has truly bizarre methods, lurking beneath common drowning incidents, silently accumulating power."
"This is really troublesome, especially since only you can perceive the dangerous aura of the Mysterious Talisman!"
Xu Ran sighed: "Drowning as a safety accident happens every day. As long as the body of the drowned isnāt unusual, who would suspect? If not for you, Uncle Ye, becoming suspicious first, you wouldnāt suspect either."
Ye Ping: "Exactly, itās simply unavoidable. I wish those runes on the giant stones werenāt made by the Talisman Vengeful God... If it really did that, itās terrifying. The souls of over 10,000 victims, how powerful would that be?"
Xu Ran shrugged: "Uncle Ye, although what I say might be a bit disappointing, I suspect itās most likely the work of the Talisman Vengeful God!"
