Chapter 2441: Like a Wild, Out-Of-Control Alpaca
Wherever the black hole went, it sucked in everything around it.
Ning Shu’s spine tingled. If she let this thing stay here, it might destroy this plane.
At that time, she could forget about the task reward, this would be enough reason to eliminate her ten times over.
Ning Shu wasn’t the soul pearl’s master so there was no way for her to control it.
She followed the black hole to a rockery and saw it enter a passageway.
Ning Shu followed it inside.
Beneath the rockery, she found the ancestral hall. The memorial tablet for the Li family’s ancestors was on a shelf.
The black hole immediately sucked in the memorial tablet along with the shelf.
Then it slowly began to disappear and eventually faded away completely.
Ning Shu let out a long exhale and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
“Goddammit, it swallowed the barrier stone!” 2333 suddenly wailed.
“Frick, no wonder I couldn’t control it. It fricking wanted to eat the barrier stone! Frick, frick, frick…” 2333 shouted angrily.
Ning Shu instantly understood. Earlier, the black hole was like a wild, out-of-control alpaca that couldn’t be reigned in. Then after it had eaten what it wanted, it became well-behaved.
The barrier stone had been molded into a memorial tablet.
Ning Shu wasn’t very upset that the barrier stone had been swallowed. What was 2333 so stirred up about?
“How many barrier stones were there?” Ning Shu asked.
“Barrier stones aren’t Chinese cabbages, how many could there be? There was only one.”
Ning Shu guessed that Li Sanlang’s memorial tablet had probably been made from a barrier stone, so he had been nourished by its power.
“You want a barrier stone?” Ning Shu asked.
2333, a bit jittery, said, “What bad luck. I originally wanted to use the barrier stone to protect my data and energy. I wasted so much energy, but it was swallowed by a black hole.”
Ning Shu immediately rolled her eyes. She’d wondered why 2333 suddenly wanted to give her advice.
It turned out that he came for the barrier stone.
Sure enough, he wouldn’t lift a finger unless there was something in it for himself. As a result, he lost his wife and the army.
Ning Shu inwardly was laughing her head off, but she said, “You might come across it again next time.”
“That’d be difficult,” 2333 said gloomily.
“If you add a barrier stone when constructing a world, it can stabilize the world and any damage to the constructed world will be greatly reduced.”
If a plane encountered any irreversible damage, it could be destroyed and the living things inside would also perish, but with a barrier stone, the plane wouldn’t perish.
Ning Shu: …
Now it was Ning Shu’s turn to feel her heart and liver ache. Her insides were now in pain. Frick.
Ning Shu really wanted to crawl into the black hole to retrieve the stone. She hadn’t even gotten to see what the barrier stone looked like.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and asked, “Don’t tell me the soul pearl wants to merge with the barrier stone?”
“It does.”
Ning Shu took another deep breath and sneered. Was the soul pearl trying to ascend to heaven? Before, it had merged with a pearl, and now it wanted to do the same with a barrier stone.
Ning Shu couldn’t imagine how it would turn out in the end.
“The pearl’s merging will take even longer now. It even wasted so much of my energy.” 2333 sighed dispiritedly. His tone was full of despair and it seemed as though he would never love again.
Ning Shu also felt like she would never love again. It would have been great if the barrier stone could be used to develop the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
2333 didn’t make a sound. Ning Shu guessed that he left to cry.
“You, you…” When Master Li saw that all of the clan’s memorial tablets had disappeared, he was so angry that his face turned red and he pointed at Ning Shu.
“Where are the memorial tablets?”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Are you stupid? Of course, it’s been sucked away.”
“You witch, witch…” Master Li covered his chest angrily.
Ning Shu pushed her way through the group of people. When she left the passageway, she saw the sage-like old Taoist priest standing on the rockery.
