Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

The Little Paperman immediately grabbed Gu Yuan and headed toward the edge of the deep pit.

As they got closer, Gu Yuan finally saw clearly that all the stone walls of the pit were black.

Previously unnoticed, because the area below was already pitch black.

Xuan Chu saw the tree roots thicker than his waist and couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

The Little Paperman couldn't feel the bursts of cold emitted by the black stone walls, and their eyes were wide open.

"Wow, the master is going to strike it rich!"

Aside from the herbs growing on the stone walls, the walls themselves and the roots intertwined in the middle are great materials for artifact refining.

The Little Paperman didn't feel that there was anything wrong with picking good things for the master.

If Gu Yuan and Xuan Chu weren't considered allies, the Little Paperman wouldn't have planned to share anything and would have kept everything themselves.

Several Little Paperman without people to carry flew over immediately and began picking herbs, moving stones, and tearing off those roots looking like fossils.

Watching the Little Paperman's seamless teamwork, Gu Yuan couldn't help twitching his mouth, feeling like bandits raiding a village.

Actually, even if they hadn't intervened, Gu Yuan planned to give most of these to Yun Ran to compensate her for the hardships she endured.

The Little Paperman completely missed Gu Yuan's kind intentions, only frustrated by their size as a single herb could completely cover them.

"Quickly move, all these belong to the master, don't let anyone else get them!"

"Don't miss out on these stones either; I'll dig in and check if there's a stone heart to excavate!"

"Quickly call over the ones we handed out earlier!"

...

The Little Paperman worked enthusiastically, and the two carrying Gu Yuan and Xuan Chu were feeling eager as well.

They directly discussed with the two: "Why not, we put you at the bottom of the pit? We need to get to work~"

Gu Yuan: ...

Xuan Chu: ...

It was their first time seeing what is called a magic artifact accompanying its owner; this greedy behavior was identical to Yun Ran.

"Alright, just set us down first."

The Little Paperman immediately became excited, almost wanting to throw them down immediately, if not worried about moving too fast for them to bear.

At the pit bottom, the Little Paperman immediately vanished, and Gu Yuan straightened out the clothes messed up by them.

The flashlights in their hands weren't capable of illuminating the entire pit bottom; they looked around, and standing at the bottom, they could only see a small light point looking upwards.

Tsk tsk tsk, this pit is much deeper and larger than they imagined.

At that moment, Xuan Chu shivered.

Gu Yuan looked over in confusion: "Are you cold?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xuan Chu ignored him; if he wasn't cold, why would he shiver? It's not like he's sick!

Even not injured by Zhu Qing's Wind Blades or the black aura earlier, Xuan Chu's clothes weren't as refined as Gu Yuan's equipment.

"Let's find someone!"

Gu Yuan felt a bit awkward as he really just casually asked.

Though even if the other said they were cold, he wouldn't be generous enough to share his clothes.

"Master!"

The echo rang out at this moment: Ma~ster~

"This place doesn't seem small, there's an echo, maybe other passageways as well."

Judging by the current situation, this pit resembles a bottle with a small opening and large bottom.

Generally, this terrain spells big trouble!

Fortunately, they blocked their sense of smell when descending and took detoxification pills.

While Gu Yuan continued to check around, Xuan Chu already sensed his master's aura.

Unfortunately, his sense of smell was blocked; otherwise, he'd probably smell the blood mixed in the rancid odor.

"Let's go this way!"

Gu Yuan originally planned to examine the stones at the pit bottom, but hearing Xuan Chu, he turned quickly.

"There seems to be a dripping sound? Could it be an underground river?"

The two looked in the direction of the water sound and soon saw a passageway in the corner, about two meters high and over a meter wide.

When the flashlight illuminated the passageway, it was clear it looked like a monster's open mouth.

Gu Yuan never considered himself a coward, but at this moment, seeing the passageway, he felt unnerved.

"This doesn't seem like a good place!"

Xuan Chu directly went forward and squatted, finally seeing some fresh blood traces on the ground.

"It should be my master and others; but why didn't they stay in this spacious pit bottom, instead went toward the passageway?"

Xuan Chu's mutterings weren't intended to draw a response.

He didn't even notice Gu Yuan squatting down too, looking at the blood traces and confidently said: "They must have discovered something, or they had to retreat to the passageway!"

Though they rushed here quickly after the explosion, it still took them a considerable time.

This meant before they reached the pit bottom, much must have occurred.

Just because they haven't encountered anything doesn't mean Xuan Kong and others haven't.

"We should check it out; we came down to find them anyway."

After Gu Yuan said this, he directly looked up toward the busy Little Paperman in the pit's middle portion, calling out.

"Hurry and come down to help!"

Soon, one Little Paperman flew down, having been unlucky enough to be voted by others to come.

"Gu Chu, what's up?"

With a hurry-up expression, clearly eager for instructions so he could return to work.

"After we finish here, how about I help you with your task?"

The Little Paperman pondered if having an extra helping hand to dig the treasure for the master was good and nodded quickly.

"Alright~."

Settling things, Gu Yuan pointed toward the passageway a short distance away: "Later, you'll come with us; if trouble arises, rush out for reinforcements!"

With only him and Xuan Chu, if it's dangerous inside and they get trapped, it would be problematic.

But with a Little Paperman, there's less worry.

The Little Paperman moves quickly, disappearing instantly, the best partner for message delivery and escape.

In such a spooky area, walking around affects the Little Paperman in no way, just time-consuming.

The Little Paperman scratched its head: "How about I help scout the road first, then you wait here?"
