The Demon in the Well

Then...

Ye Qianfan saw a beam of golden light shoot from the Mirror of a Hundred Demons. The Human-Faced Bug spat out some white silk that followed the golden light down into the well, netting the long-haired Big Black Fish hiding in the water in a single sweep!

Seeing the Big Black Fish caught, Ye Qianfan hurriedly aimed the Mirror of a Hundred Demons at the ground beside the well!

"Splat!"

The Human-Faced Bug stuck the Big Black Fish, tightly bound in its silk, onto the dry ground.

Through the mirror, Ye Qianfan saw the Human-Faced Bug vanish in a flash as soon as its task was complete. It disappeared into the Mirror of a Hundred Demons as though it had never appeared, and the mirror became an ordinary Bagua Mirror again!

Except...

The red line that had originally encircled the outermost edge of the Bagua Mirror had lost an eighth of its length after sealing the Human-Faced Bug.

Now another eighth was gone, leaving a full quarter of the red line missing.

It seemed...

The Mirror of a Hundred Demons could only be used eight times at most when fully charged.

"Flop!"

"Flop, flop!!"

As for the black hair on its body, it was not hair at all, but a mane
