Chapter 474 304: Emperor Qin Poisoned to the Bone, All Sides Covet the Throne (Part 3)

His eyes are slightly closed, and a white light of Qi Rhythm unfolds around him, enveloping the four stone tablets.

Simultaneously, dark golden light shoots out from the four stone tablets, and cracks appear on their surfaces.

Crack, crack, crack...

Then, like a shattered eggshell, the four stone tablets transform into dark gold, with inscriptions flowing across the surface, striking and extraordinary.

This is the true form of the four stone tablets.

Heart spirit communication, Qi Blood connection.

Buzz!

"Hm?"

Chu Ming's eyes condensing light, flashed with delight.

"Storage Space Treasure?!"

The four dark gold stone tablets, two with an internal space of half a yard, two with a space of one yard.

He enters with his heart spirit.

Swish!

A shadow flies out from one of the dark gold stone tablets, landing in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, it is a mouse-like exotic beast, entirely black, about the size of a household cat.

Storage Space cannot contain live creatures, hence this beast is not alive, and Chu Ming cannot sense any aura.

But...

Qi Blood communicates with the dark gold stone tablet, and the black shadow demon mouse in front suddenly opens its blood-red eyes.

In an instant, a terrifying oppressiveness crashed down, the pressure of a Tier Five dark shadow demon mouse.

"Puppet Beast?"

Let's call it a puppet beast for now.

Disconnecting the Qi Blood, Chu Ming looks curiously.

"This beast, is quite similar to those Blood Guards."

The Blood Guards of the Blood Evil Sect are controlled by blood bells, whereas this exotic beast is controlled by the dark gold stone tablet, the essence strikingly similar.

Chu Ming turns to another dark gold stone tablet, within which is also a Tier Five dark shadow demon mouse puppet beast.

Looking at the other two slightly larger dark gold stone tablets, his heart spirit probes inside.

"Is this an Earth Dragon?"

Within the two tablets, instead of a dark shadow demon mouse, resides a gigantic exotic beast Earth Dragon, akin to a Tuo Dragon.

Due to its enormous size, the room is too small, so Chu Ming does not take it out to examine.

"Two Tier Five black shadow demon mouse puppet beasts... two Tier Five Earth Dragon puppet beasts..."

It's equivalent to four Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm powers.

Chu Ming's heartbeat slightly accelerates, gently waving his sleeve to put away the four dark gold stone tablets.

This hunt in the eastern suburb cannot be described as anything less than bountiful.

Calming his emotions, he looks at the last of the Leech Python flesh.

Removing the surrounding Qi Rhythm White Light, immediately a stench assaults the nose.

Chu Ming controls the white light to half a meter around, preventing the stench from spreading.

The Primordial Black Blade flies out, cutting open the Leech Python flesh, examining closely, revealing three wriggling small worms inside.

The three small worms resemble blood leeches, yet oddly possess the triangular head of a venomous snake, looking rather strange.

"Leech Python, a fusion of blood leech and poisonous python, enjoys consuming blood and flesh, can be used as a supplementary medicine for Qi Blood elixir, or as a deadly weapon, and can control the human mind."

The "Mountain and Sea Great Wilderness Scripture" gives a detailed description of the Leech Python.

It can be used in medicine to save lives, but also to kill, even control the human mind.

However, the "Mountain and Sea Great Wilderness Scripture" does not specify how to use it in medicine, nor how to control the mind.

As for killing, the eastern suburb hunting ground has provided examples, which is quite understandable.

Chu Ming takes out a specially crafted jade box, keeping the three Leech Pythons inside.

A lone leech or python would at most threaten the Meridian Unlocking Realm, but together as Leech Python, used properly, it could potentially threaten the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Such a weapon cannot be passed up.

Securing the Leech Python, Chu Ming sits at the desk, holding a brush with ink, pondering today's events.

He is puzzled, why would Commander of the Sikong Army attempt an assassination, and why use blood leeches?

Scenes of the Leech Python attack flash in his mind, abruptly pausing at the Golden Carriage.

An individual in a golden robe sits inside the carriage, bearing a dignified mien, but his demeanor is somewhat peculiar.

Chu Ming has never truly seen the person on the Dragon Throne, but the feeling given by the person on the Golden Carriage at the eastern suburb hunting ground seemed to lack something.

Dragon Auro?

He shakes his head, the pen moving continuously.

Suddenly, Chu Ming stops the ink brush.

"It's not the dignity, but the regal aura!"

Compared to the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, Chu Ming notices something.

The person on the Golden Carriage lacks the aura of royalty.

Whether it's the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, or the Seventh Prince, their demeanor is consistently imbued with the lofty aura of royalty, but today that wasn't the case.

"Fake?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrow slightly.

"If it's fake, then Sikong Heng's attack with blood leeches..."

The scenes during the incident flash again, Sikong Heng's stunned and shocked appearance.

"It wasn't an act, Sikong Heng's first instinct was to sweep with his spear, aiming to kill the blood leech body rather than assassinate."

"The so-called blood leech assassination, Sikong Heng doesn't even know."

"At the time, Zuo Yuan, Pei Qin, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and others' reactions..."

"It seems as if some already knew something."

The image in Chu Ming's mind freezes on the Second Prince's face.

"Emperor Qin is fake, the Second Prince apparently knew earlier..."

Sikong Heng... eighty thousand Shizhen Army...

Master... thirty thousand Tiger Armor Army...

The scenario differs, but the outcome seems similar.

Chu Ming deduces something.

"Just uncertain whether the ten people with Hui poison was an accident or part of a certain someone's chain conspiracy."

Chu Ming recalls the sudden appearance of ten individuals with ice-colored masks from the east after the blood leech outbreak.

Those ten carry Hui poison.

It was their arrival that gave rise to the Leech Python, subsequently infecting the one on the Golden Carriage.

He leans towards accident because the Second Prince was truly afraid at the time.

"Thus it seems the person on the Dragon Throne not only orchestrated Sikong Heng but also exposed some hidden individuals."

"..."

His thoughts conclude, the ink drawing has formed its initial shape.

Golden Carriage... Cyan Flame Demon Wolf... blood leech... Leech Python...

What he draws is today's eastern suburb hunt Leech Python chaos.

Thus, deep into the night.

Chu Ming sets down the ink brush, calmly gazing out the window.

"The snow seems heavier."
