The little fox-like spiritual beast was totally confused when Zhang Che suddenly threw it onto the stone platform.

It sized up the puppet-animals,who were emitting powerful auras, and immediately trembled from fear and collapsed weakly on the platform.

After the puppet-animals were fully materialized, however, they didn’t take any further actions when they saw it was the fox-like spiritual beast that had barged onto the stone platform. They quickly turned back into green lights and scattered.

It was obvious that those puppet-animals and the spiritual beasts in the mountains had some kind of connection, and wouldn’t attack them on their own, even if the spiritual beasts had barged into the stone platform for unknown reasons.

At the side of the stone platform, Zhang Che immediately grew wild with joy when he saw this.

“Don’t get too excited, don’t get too excited… There’s still a very important step to determine whether I succeed or not!”

Zhang Che suppressed his excitement with much difficulty, then ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to rush into the stone platform and capture the spiritual beast, who was still stunned from fear, while he stared at the spiritual beast and observed it closely.

-That thing will also turn into a mass of spiritual qi and dissipate after its death. Although the light is quite different from the one after an exotic beast dies, strictly speaking, it is rather similar, isn’t it?

-Since that is the case, does that mean my Myriad Transformation Lizard card’s shapeshifting ability can use them as a template?

-Whatever. Whether it works or not, I’ll know once I try it. There won’t be any loss, anyway!-

Hundreds of thoughts flew through Zhang Che’s mind. He no longer hesitated and immediately activated the Myriad Transformation Lizard’s shapeshifting ability, using the fox-like spiritual beast as a template.

In the next moment, Zhang Che felt the world spinning, and it suddenly turned dark, like a curtain had covered the world.

Zhang Che was shocked for a moment before he started laughing heartily. However, the sound he produced turned out into “jijiji…”.

Suddenly, a fellow that looked exactly like that fox-like spiritual beast found its way out from within a pile of clothing. Its spirited eyes looked around carefully, showing a human-like joyful look on its face.

“Unexpectedly, this method really works!”

Although his laughter turned into little barking sounds, Zhang Che didn’t panic at all. Instead, he grew even more excited.

With this, he could safely get onto the stone platform and go investigate the higher platform in the middle. Perhaps he’d find a way to undo the restriction!

At this moment, Zhang Che’s excitement was simply indescribable.

He familiarized himself with his current body and tried walking a few rounds on the ground. After he learned how to walk properly, he shifted his gaze back onto the stone platform.

At that moment, the fox-like spiritual beast at the side suddenly let out an enraged cry, pouncing at him. Although its simple brain couldn’t comprehend what had just happened, that didn’t stop it from becoming angry at Zhang Che for turning into a doppelganger of itself.

“Jiji!” Zhang Che wanted to yell at it to get lost, but his words turned into soft jiji cries when he said it out loud.

Alas, Zhang Che’s control of his current body was too bad. He was instantly knocked to the ground by that fox-like spiritual beast. It opened its mouth wide and bit down at Zhang Che with its sharp teeth.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew down from the sky. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon plucked up the fox-like spiritual beast with his claw and released a tiny bit of his cold aura, freezing it into an ice statue. Afterwards, the statue shattered, turned into a mass of spiritual qi, and dissipated.

-This freaking scared the shit out of me. Turning into these weak little creatures is really too dangerous!- Zhang Che let out a long sigh of relief. Afterwards, he hinted to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon with his gaze. His pet dragon, still spiritually connected to him, immediately understood his intentions. He picked up Zhang Che and directly threw his tiny form onto the stone platform.

The little fox Zhang Che transformed into drew an arc a few dozen meters long in the air, then rolled onto the stone platform. Although this little spiritual beast was weak, the little fall didn’t hurt him.

Just as Zhang Che fell onto the stone platform, green lights immediately appeared, and various puppet-animals materialized one after another.

However, when they saw it was the little fox again, the puppet-animals looked at it suspiciously before turning back into green lights and fading away.

Zhang Che’s heart beat twice as fast when those puppet-animals swept their gazes towards him. He almost couldn’t endure it and wanted to order the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to come save him.

Luckily, he managed to fool them. The Myriad Transformation Lizard’s ability was really not just for show!

Zhang Che sighed long and deep. He carefully moved his short limbs and walked towards the center of the stone platform. While walking, he kept looking around. Seeing the puppet-animals no longer appear, he finally relaxed and gradually increased his pace.

The center of the stone platform was about a thousand meters from where Zhang Che was. Given his tiny frame right now, it would take him many minutes to reach it if he didn’t hurry up.

——

The elevated platform drew closer and closer, and the layer of dense air became clearer and clearer, too. However, the object that was shrouded inside it still couldn’t be seen.

Zhang Che guessed that he would only be able to get a good look at what it was after he entered the layer of dense air.

-There won’t be any other restrictions ahead, right?- Zhang Che suddenly thought as he ran. He quickly slapped his own face, hoping to not jinx it.

Fortunately, Zhang Che’s foul mouth didn’t come into effect this time, perhaps because he had turned into a spiritual beast. He ran all the way up to the higher platform, and didn’t encounter any other restrictions.

-It’s good that there aren’t any other problems!-

Zhang Che stopped in place. His eyes focused, looking at the higher platform that stood about a dozen meters high. He reached out with his claw and carefully touched the edge of the first step. After confirming there weren’t any other restrictions or contraptions, he hopped onto it one step at a time, heading towards the thick layer of air at the top.

Just as he stepped onto the higher platform, Zhang Che suddenly felt strange movements in his spiritual sea. The rainbow crystal that never showed any reaction suddenly trembled slightly.

-Could there be some treasure on top that the big boss needs?- Zhang Che was immediately overjoyed. He didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain!

Treasures that could tempt the rainbow crystal were very rare. There was only that chaotic light which he came across in the previous secret plane.

-Wait a second… Could this platform be the control center of this secret world?-

Zhang Che immediately screamed inside, -Big boss, wait, wait! Can you wait for me to undo the restriction and scavenge all the benefits first before you devour the control center of this world?-

Seemingly having heard Zhang Che’s cries, the rainbow crystal actually calmed down.

Zhang Che let out a long sigh of relief. -Lucky… I would be returning without any gains otherwise!-

While thinking of all this, Zhang Che finally stepped onto the dozen-meters-tall platform and entered the area of thick air.

Before him, he saw that inside that thick layer of air was a broken crystal emitting rainbow light, hovering silently in midair, as if it was one with the world!
