The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 787: Xuannv’s back-up plan?
Looking at the stairs paved with light under his feet, Zhao Chen touched the "adamant hair" on his head, and seeing that it had no reaction, he nodded to Guan Si Niang who was looking at him for instructions.

Then, the three of them stepped onto the stairs of light together and walked step by step into the picture of the "big snail" shell.

As the feeling of space transformation came, the three of them found themselves in a huge empty room without any life, and a "spell" full of death also hit them in the moment they arrived!

It was extremely concealed, and the two powerful monks Wang Qingling and Guan Si Niang did not notice it at all. If Zhao Chen did not have the vitality left by the Queen in his body and was not extremely sensitive to the "intention of death", he would probably not have been able to react until the spell came upon him.

Although I had long guessed that King Liang would leave a last means here to prevent invasion by others, I did not expect it to be so tricky!

Deathly intent... Perhaps this defensive spell borrowed the power of the "Big Snail" itself, or the "Nine Netherworlds Lady".

With a slight movement of his mind, Zhao Chen used his spiritual consciousness to connect to the magic "template" imprinted in the acupoints of his inner world, causing a layer of silver armor with a slightly pale color to appear on the bodies of himself, Guan, and Wang.

This is his innate magic spell, "Silver Armor to Defend Against Demons", which is one of the prerequisites for the great magical power "Demon King's Body Binding".

Although the "death intention" was of a high level, the spell that carried it was only a ninth-level spell and could be easily blocked by the "Demon-Suppressing Silver Armor".

As for the "Intention of Death" itself, Zhao Chen released the "Silver Armor to Defend Against Demons" while adding a layer of "Cold Light of the Sun" on it.

Firstly, the freezing space property of "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" can block the possible subsequent changes of the spell;
Secondly, the innate magic spell "Cold Light of the Sun" had undergone a certain degree of change after Zhao Chen and the Queen of Xiliang practiced dual cultivation. Not to mention the slight change in function, it also contained a trace of the effect of "life energy" given by the Queen, which could just neutralize the "intention of death".

The details of this attack and defense are complicated to talk about, but in fact, it took only a moment for Zhao Chen to successfully resolve the last trick left by King Liang.

It was not until this time that Guan Si Niang and Wang Qingling realized that they were under attack.

Although Wang Qingling had been trapped in the Central Plains for ten years and lacked real experience, as a top-grade cultivator with magical powers, she had always been on guard. But in the end, she was rescued by Zhao Chen, who was in the Gangsha realm. She felt a little ashamed, and her eyes looked at Zhao Chen more obsessed.

He is worthy of being the man she has chosen!
Guan Si Niang was more afraid. You know, her body was already in a "death countdown" state. If she was attacked again, she might not be able to wait until she could change into the body of "Jinse No. 5".

"I didn't know that King Liang had reserved an attack here... I don't remember it..." Guan Si Niang explained with a pale face.

"I was too relaxed." Wang Qingling pursed her red lips, then extended her spiritual sense and swept coldly in the direction where the spell came from.

In an instant, the space around them seemed to suddenly break apart, and the originally empty room quickly became "filled up", and strange instruments with a hint of "technology" but "ancient flavor" appeared in front of Zhao Chen and the other two.

In the center of the room is a cylindrical transparent tank filled with unknown liquid, and a human figure is suspended in it.

As for the "death" attack just now, it was emitted from the magic circle on top of the cylindrical water tank, but as Wang Qingling's spiritual sense swept over it, the magic circle had been destroyed.

It turned out that as soon as the three of them entered the "Big Snail", they fell into the illusion array set up by King Liang. Wang Qingling's "Wind God Illusionary World" was also an illusion array type magical power, and it was ranked second level. It broke the array almost instantly, revealing the original appearance of this place.

Zhao Chen used his "Dongxu Eyes" to observe carefully and confirmed that the magic circle arranged on the top of the sink had lost its effectiveness. Not only was the illusion gone, but even the medium that connected the power of the giant snail had dissipated. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and looked around.

"At first glance, except for the cylindrical sink in the middle, they are all common furniture and decorations in this world, nothing special..." "But upon closer inspection, those bottles and jars that look like antiques are filled with various rare alchemy and alchemical materials; the rosewood furniture that looks like a dressing table, combined with the mirror, has the same effect as a 'computer'...

“What a great laboratory that combines classic and modern elements!
"Unfortunately, this kind of 'lost technology' is not universal and can only be used in a space with modified rules. It will be nothing more than a pile of junk when it reaches Xuantian.

“It may even be directly contaminated by Xuantian’s knowledge and transformed into a special monster!

"But the amazing thing is that the puppets cultivated with the 'technology' here can act normally in Xuantian...

"That's not right. Maybe in Xuantian's eyes, puppets like Guan Si Niang are monsters."

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen had already walked to the cylindrical water tank, and the true situation of the figure floating in the water also came into his sight.

It was a woman's body, its entire body shaped like flowing water, her skin was frosty, and her long black hair was scattered in the liquid, swaying with her body.

Her eyes were lifeless, and her silver-gray pupils were empty, like a dead object.

No, now she is a dead object.

Because her body below the chest is still translucent, it is obvious that it has not yet been fully "formed".

"There is a beauty hidden in the Glazed Realm, her jade-like skin is cold before the mermaid silk is put on her."

"Once I see the stars moving, I will believe in the spirit of the Milky Way."

Zhao Chen carefully observed the "Jinse No. 5" in the water, then looked back at Guan Si Niang and found that they had almost no similarities in appearance, temperament, and figure. It was hard to believe that they were humanoid puppets of the same model.

Guan Si Niang naturally also noticed Zhao Chen's strange look, but she was also very confused at this time, because in her memory, Jinse No. 1 to No. 4 were the same in appearance.

As "housekeeping" puppets, they can only be described as pretty in appearance, and cannot be compared with the "Jinse No. 5" that is taking shape in the "sink". What's more, the temperament of "Jinse No. 5" is so "fairy-like" that even without clothes, it gives people a feeling of being awe-inspiring and inviolable.

This made Guan Si Niang a little confused. Are the memories or data that she "inherited" real?

"Xuan Nu..." At this time, the imperial concubine standing beside Zhao Chen suddenly spoke, "Before I bought the 'Xuan Nu Palace', I investigated the Xuan Nu who helped the 'King of Liang' more than 8,000 years ago, and saw a portrait of 'Xuan Nu' hand-painted by His Majesty Gaozu in the royal library.

"The person in the painting looks exactly like the person in this sink!"

"Looks like Xuan Nu?" Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard this. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he finally settled on one guess:

"Could it be that... this 'Heavenly River Goddess Picture' is the 'Xuan Nu's' backup plan to create a clone or a resurrection carrier?"
