Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1989: Chapter 1969:

”Is this... a Kirin?” Long Tu couldn’t help but speculate, and he noticed the giant beast’s Crystal Core right beside it, an opportunity that seemed extremely rare and hard to come by.

”Probably not...” Mo couldn’t be certain either, after all, only the general outline of the skeleton was visible, and the rest could only be seen by going inside... But for such Exotic Beasts, maintaining a sense of reverence was very necessary.

After all, powerful Exotic Beasts, even if fallen, still have strong Souls, and if it’s lurking, waiting for a chance to deal with them, it wouldn’t be good.

Especially since the best place to lurk would be inside the Crystal Core, right? So Mo and Long Tu’s caution wasn’t without reason.

”It’s not a Kirin.” Huangfu Yihui looked carefully under the Light Illumination Technique, then said with certainty, frowning slightly: ”Or rather, it’s not an ordinary Kirin. I’ve seen Kirin Scale Armor before, and it didn’t look like this, and isn’t this a bit too big?”

A Kirin is indeed an Exotic Beast but doesn’t belong to gigantic beasts, right? Is this size a bit exaggerated, not something they can comprehend?

”A gigantic Kirin that has mutated?” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but speculate, after all, the creature in front of her didn’t resemble the small and adorable type she saw in cartoons.

Speaking of which... she has seen dragons before, and the Nine Heavens Pavilion even raises some dragons, it’s just that little guy looked more like a snake...

”Could it be a hybrid breed?” Long Tu was a bit puzzled too. It did look somewhat like a Kirin, but this big—isn’t it possible that it’s a hybrid between a Kirin and another animal? Not only could it grow larger, but also retain its Divine Power?

The most important thing is, even normal Kirin, trying to confine it isn’t something that can be done casually, right?

”Kirin, also known as Gou Chen, belongs to the earth element, affiliated with the center, and is the leader of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.” Mo suddenly pondered for a moment before speaking, with a somewhat strange look on his face, turning to look at Huangfu Yihui: ”If I’m not mistaken, it should not be wood, but earth...”

Luo Qianqian instinctively looked at Long Tu. Here, Mo belonged to fire, Huangfu Yihui to wood, Di Jun to light, she to water, and only Long Tu seemed to belong to earth.

Long Tu was frowning slightly, looking a bit puzzled but not sure what to say.

”But it doesn’t matter, after all, we do have people here, right? Now, who’s going in?” Luo Qianqian chuckled, looking directly at the skeleton: ”You guys say tiger bones can brew wine, this Kirin bone...”

Before she finished speaking, Mo’s face changed and he wanted to reach out to cover Luo Qianqian’s mouth but was a step too late. Luo Qianqian looked surprised at Mo’s action.

Then they heard a violent noise...

”Rumble...”

Everyone stiffened and turned their heads, astonished at the development... The skeleton of the unknown species began to move and did so violently, clanking against the chains, filled with an eerie sound.

Luo Qianqian swallowed hard, incredulously looking at the bone frame, then threw the bag prepared for the bones aside and jumped up: ”Oh my God, it’s coming back to life!”

Mo, holding the obviously scared Luo Qianqian, was also amused, after all... such a level of Exotic Beast was quite proud, you know? Not to mention bad-mouthing it, even no targeted insulting words could have its Soul possess and burst with strong power! Let alone... Luo Qianqian was planning to disassemble and stew it into soup and brew wine, it was simply too much... No, too much insult to the beast!

Luo Qianqian was trembling, and Mo couldn’t blame her too much, after all, ignorance is bliss.

The most important thing is, the surroundings are all enclosed, and even if an exit exists, it would be near the skeleton, so the skeleton being triggered was inevitable.

Despite being triggered so early, their situation became very passive.

After getting over her shock, Luo Qianqian noticed the skeleton seemingly breaking free of the chains, immediately opted to jump down: ”Mo, do you have any oil?”

”Shiqi, if we start a fire, we might just get burned to ashes...” Mo frowned immediately and retorted.

In this environment, even if they stayed in a safe area, oxygen was limited, and if that thing broke free, it could come over anyway, the most important thing is... this was already a skeleton, not afraid of burning, they might burn to death before the opponent was turned to ashes.

Even if Luo Qianqian used water to protect them, the undeniable fact was that they would be steamed to death by water! The human body is far more fragile than a beast’s body.

Luo Qianqian looked speechlessly at Mo: ”What are you thinking? Did I say I wanted to make this place a crematorium?”

Mo looked innocently at Luo Qianqian, after all, with the foresight of the Sand Beast before, it had already formed a preconceived notion, making it impossible to think of any other answer.

Di Jun was equally confused, only Huangfu Yihui and Long Tu both showed a look of realization.

”Shiqi, you’re saying make it unable to move freely, right?” Huangfu Yihui said.

After all, the opponent was just a Soul Body, able to control their basic skeleton-like body but not flexible; if they applied some techniques, it couldn’t harm them.

Mo was stunned upon hearing this: ”Then... won’t soap water work just as well?” Grumbling, he took out the oil and handed it to Luo Qianqian: ”What now?”

Di Jun watched that big bucket of oil with a heartache, staring at it, swallowing.

With this, imagine how many delicious dishes could be made! Oh my, why isn’t Shiliu here?

”Now?” Luo Qianqian unscrewed the oil barrel: ”Liquid is my domain.” She gently placed the oil barrel on the ground, winking at Mo: ”Don’t worry, my spiritual power isn’t attack-based, it shouldn’t deplete too quickly.”

Speaking while the oil-formed sphere slowly rose, floating in the air, swaying as if it might spill at any moment.

”Di Jun, Light Illumination Technique.” Long Tu looked at the front, which had obviously darkened again, and patted the person beside him.

Di Jun decisively cast another Light Illumination Technique; this time, knowing the location in advance, it landed directly over the opponent’s head, accurately.

Luo Qianqian joyfully maneuvered the oil ball to seep into every joint, confidently like a doctor diagnosing. If the patient weren’t a skeleton, she’d really look like a doctor.

Now, more like a creepy uncle or aunt, the type that spends every day with skeletal remains.

Mo couldn’t help but find it amusing. Wouldn’t this skeleton find this so infuriating it would end itself? He felt it was very possible, after all, this move was not only underhanded but executed so thoroughly!
