Uh-Oh, Sparkle's Thing Moved!

"Young friend, we've arrived."

Danshu groped his way down from the Starskiff, with Lin Shuang following closely behind.

Because it still carried the Dragon Lord's Light Cone, its feet touched the sand.

Lin Shuang then sensed the complex seal beneath her feet.

Within this seal, there is a tiny node that gives Lin Shuang a subtle sense of 'loophole'.

Right behind us, in the ocean.

Perhaps that's the passage opened by the Dragon Master.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuang could sense something crawling out through the hole.

Not long after.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm water, and a figure was ejected from the water, leaping and crashing heavily onto the beach in front of Lin Shuang.

Puff--

"Ptooey! What a load of crap tunnel! I almost fell and died... Who are you?!"

Emerging from the sand dunes, the Sushang with Dragon Form suddenly noticed Lin Shuang and Danshu not far away.

They immediately became alert.

Danshu stepped forward and said with a smile:

"I am Danshu, the Chief of the Abundant Doses. I have come to support our allies."

Lin Shuang did not speak, but instead sized up the Sushang.

With Dragon Horns and Dragon Tail, it looks like a Sushang has achieved considerable success in cultivation.

Their strength should be considerable.

The man flipped his hand and pulled out a long spear, with shimmering water swirling around him, giving off an air of distrust.

"Bah! There was no backup plan at all, and only a madman would send you to Scalegorge Waterscape Realm to provide backup! I think it's because of your Abundant Doses Technique that you intend to harm the Vidyadhara Eggs. Today, I'll capture you and hand you over to the Divination Department!"

The people sent to carry out the plan were not stupid; they didn't trust Danshu at all, and even intended to take Danshu down directly.

They planned to shift all blame onto the Abundant Doses afterward.

Sizzle--

The spear, entwined by the flowing water, emerged like a dragon from its nest, carrying immense power and grinning as it charged towards Danshu!

Clang--

The fiery red longsword was drawn, and Lin Shuang blocked the spear with a flick of her wrist.

The surging water instantly erupted with the force of a landslide and a tsunami, pressing down on Lin Shuang and Danshu!

Volume 1: Chapter 251 Oh no, the Sparkle thing moved!

To put it bluntly...

This member of the Sushang is far stronger than the Inner Core Master and other practitioners of the Abundant Doses that Lin Shuang has encountered.

It's probably at the same level of strength as Mount No. 1.

Ordinary Cloud Knights would probably be no match for him.

But Lin Shuang was no ordinary person.

Moreover, Danshu was prepared in advance, just as Lin Shuang was about to take out Bella to suppress this guy.

Danshu raised his sleeve and waved it forcefully, and two medicinal stones shot out with the sound of a mechanism.

The Sushang were overconfident, attempting to subdue the enemy simply by controlling a stream of water.

But the moment the water hit the medicinal stone, it triggered two explosions.

With two soft popping sounds, the explosion broke free of the water's flow, releasing large plumes of dust that fanned outwards.

The Sushang's primary target was Lin Shuang, and they weren't wary of Danshu, who was just a logistics personnel.

Given the close proximity, this caught everyone off guard.

The eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all covered by the medicinal powder.

Lin Shuang didn't even have time to draw her sword.

He merely raised his sword to block one attack, and the Sushang collapsed to the ground.

"..."

Danshu has such methods?

Lin Shuang became secretly wary; this hadn't been mentioned in the original plot.

Goodness, so the skilled healer is also a skilled poisoner, huh?

I don't want this guy to hit me too once I get inside, and then do whatever he wants to me.

Lin Shuang glanced at the Affection that had surpassed eighty points.

I always felt that Danshu's mental state was not very stable.

"Alright, let's hurry, my medication won't keep him under control for long."

Danshu stepped forward, pulled out a large bundle of extremely sturdy rope from somewhere, squatted down, and began to tie people up.

Lin Shuang sheathed her Greatsword, offering a helping hand as she asked:

Should we interrogate him?

"No need. Just take him to Jing Yuan before he runs away when you get back. The Ten Lords' Court will naturally take care of it."

"What if they run away?"

Looking at the tightly bound Sushang, Lin Shuang thought of his water control ability.

I wonder if I can untie the ropes binding me.

"So what if he ran away? I have no intention of helping Jing Yuan kill someone."

Danshu spoke casually, then reached into the man's pocket and found a specially made jade talisman.

"This should be it, the key to enter the passage."

Danshu grasped the key and walked straight toward the water.

As the jade talisman emitted light, a gentle whirlpool appeared on the water's surface.

Danshu seemed completely unconcerned about drowning, and plunged headfirst into the water.

Although Lin Shuang could sense the situation underwater, she still quickly followed.

The whirlpool didn't press down on them; instead, it transformed into a torrent, propelling the two along a predetermined path towards the deep sea.

Lin Shuang held her breath for less than half a minute.

Then they saw the roots of the Jianmu, which had transformed into the shape of a dragon.

And in the space between the Dragon Head's eyebrows, a Stellaron shimmering with golden light was embedded.

The jade talisman created a water-repellent area, enveloping Danshu and Lin Shuang within it.

This allowed the two of them to successfully step onto the dilapidated road.

As Lin Shuang approached the Stellaron, she could feel the sticky, uncomfortable sensation spreading from it after it was activated.

And this feeling is intensifying at an abnormal rate.

"Hmm..."

Danshu's body swayed slightly.

The effects of Jianmu's revival were most pronounced for Danshu, a Xianzhou native. This was compounded by the presence of the Stellaron.

A look of pain appeared on Danshu's face.

Lin Shuang did not offer any help; she simply watched, observing everything Danshu was about to do.

"Young friend... I can sense the Stellaron releasing its power, and I can also sense the power of Jianmu reviving. At the latest, Jianmu should be officially revived in less than three days."

Three days...

Upon hearing this time, Lin Shuang was reminded of the time in the game.

In the game, when Kafka arrives on the Train and summons the Astral Express Crew, she uses the time 'System Hour 48'.

After disembarking from the Astral Express Crew went on a whirlwind trip, caught up with Kafka, and then lingered around Changle Heaven for a while.

It's hard to confirm the exact time at Changle Heaven, but it'll probably take half a day to a day.

After that, after going to the Divination Department to interrogate Kafka, Jianmu erupted.

This timeframe roughly matches.

However, this is the current situation.

The Stellaron erupted today; Kafka will be interrogated tonight or tomorrow morning.

Does Danshu really have this ability?

Just as Lin Shuang was curiously wanting to take a closer look at Danshu's methods...

But then she continued:

"I can probably halve the time, young friend. From now on, I will stay here until the Jianmu revives and its Fruits ripens."

As he spoke, Danshu took out a pill from his pocket and touched its surface with some emotion.

Her original plan was not to take this version of the elixir.

Although the version I have now is an optimized version.

Instead, they wait until the Jianmu revives, then use the equipment of the Alchemy Commission to refine a true elixir, making her even more powerful.

But now the situation has changed. Since the decision has been made to disrupt Phantylia's plans, it's no longer feasible to continue guarding this place with this broken body.

As long as we can eat that first Jianmu Fruit, it doesn't matter if the current elixir isn't perfect.

The immense Power of Abundance is enough to propel her strength to even greater heights.

Of course, strength is just a byproduct.

Danshu tilted his head back and swallowed the pill he always carried with him without hesitation.

Lin Shuang looked at the pills in Danshu's hand and a thought suddenly popped into her head.

The secret method of obtaining the Vidyadhara Marrow from the Abundant Doses... Did those Dragon Master truly not know, or were they feigning ignorance?

This was the first time Lin Shuang had ever seen a living person transform into Scythe of Annihilation form.

The hollow eyes gradually became bright and lively, and the mechanical arm that was originally installed on it automatically detached because of the new arm.

Golden ginkgo leaves sprouted from its body, and even its long hair turned golden.

Lin Shuang could sense that when Danshu transformed into the Scythe of Annihilation, some of the Jianmu power floating in the surrounding air was absorbed by her body.

Danshu's body underwent a comprehensive enhancement.

A surge of Power of Abundance filled Danshu's body, and even showed faint signs of spreading outwards.

Danshu's eyes gradually regained their clarity. She suddenly lowered her head and took out the useless Sparkle-branded Button.

"It's a pity, I didn't get to see who gave me this button."

"It's alright, I know who made this thing."

Lin Shuang took the button with a disgruntled expression, then slapped it down with a hint of annoyance.

The button, which I expected to remain unresponsive as usual, suddenly started beeping.

The button, which had been silent, suddenly started making a sound.

This surprised both Lin Shuang and Danshu.
