1496: Chapter 549: The Revealed Truth (Part 2)_2 1496: Chapter 549: The Revealed Truth (Part 2)_2 But with the Fire Chieftain inside, the cage left the realm of Burning Hillock’s rules and fell into Owen Bertram’s hands, quickly shrinking to the size of a small lantern, easily held by Bertram.
The Fire Chieftain had thought that once it was out of Burning Hillock’s rules, it could flex its muscles.
But this transformation left it too intimidated to act rashly.
It cautiously bumped against the cage…
only to be harshly whipped by Bertram using the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope!
Smack——
This ti it even incurred damage from a Thunderbolt.
The Fire Chieftain froze, the pain making it wedged its head into the cage’s crevices.
Owen Bertram, pulling the cage with the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope, made a respectful bow, then took a step back, leaving Burning Hillock’s domain.
All the extraordinary sights vanished from his view, and all Owen Bertram could see was a desolate mound reminiscent of a large ancient tomb – with only a slight hint of dry heat in the air.
But Owen Bertram couldn’t help but doubt himself: Was what he just witnessed the “true face” of Burning Hillock?
Could the Fire Chieftain deceive him?
Could there be higher entities within Burning Hillock tricking both him and the Fire Chieftain?
Most importantly, Owen Bertram didn’t find any clues about Verna’s origin.
He could settle the score of the Fire Chieftain’s deception later.
Standing outside of Burning Hillock, Owen Bertram cautiously recalled the “lines” he had seen.
What exactly was Burning Hillock behind these complex and profound rules?
Suddenly Owen Bertram sensed a change in the space behind the trench in front of him, a change that felt familiar…
Owen Bertram looked up and saw an “Archway”!
It was the sa as the Archway where Owen Bertram had obtained the “Immortal Binding Rope”!
A “pop” sound ca from the Archway, and Owen Bertram looked up to see a package falling from sowhere, bouncing over the trench and rolling to Bertram’s feet.
Owen Bertram picked it up with a mont of doubt: “Is this my reward for dispatching the Fire Chieftain?”
Owen Bertram had originally thought the Fire Chieftain was the reward.
The Fire Chieftain’s state seed like a “wicked slave” using Burning Hillock’s na to deceive others; Owen Bertram had caught this imposter for Burning Hillock, and would certainly be rewarded regardless — just like the last ti when he was rewarded with the Immortal Binding Rope.
Burning Hillock and the “Da Luo World Gate” system were different, Owen Bertram had gradually figured out its modus operandi.
Burning Hillock likely does not have a specific consciousness, but it does have its operating “rules”.
Fulfilling certain rule requirents would trigger subsequent rules, rewards or punishnts.
Thus Owen Bertram had a thought: Could I complete a task and exchange it for information about my sister from Burning Hillock?
As the idea popped into his head, he looked down to see the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope break out and burrow into Burning Hillock, before striking a plaque in the Archway.
Smack——
A ray of golden-red radiant light surged from beneath the Archway, revealing faint crisscrossing rule lines that carved out a tallic fruit composed of countless Runes.
When Owen Bertram saw this fruit, he frowned slightly but quickly relaxed.
Because the shape of this fruit is nearly identical to that of his Peach of Response!
The golden-red radiance swirled and changed, ticulously showing the tal fruit from different angles and levels, then slowly faded away.
Then, the Archway behind the trench gradually transford into a fog until it completely disappeared.
Owen Bertram stroked the Gourd Vine Immortal Rope in his hand.
Was this a rule of Burning Hillock: find this object and give it to Burning Hillock, and in exchange, he could get information about his sister’s origin?
But the tallic fruit looked extraordinarily powerful, and there was no other clue aside from this one object.
Where was he supposed to find it?
Owen Bertram shook his head helplessly.
The package in Bertram’s hand…
was a paper pack.
It was the kind you could find in a pharmacy or a confectionery, typically wrapped by the shop boys.
Perhaps because it was so old, the twine binding was sowhat loose.
Owen Bertram unwrapped the string – was this string going to be so kind of treasure?
Turns out, both the twine and the paper were ordinary.
After unwrapping the outermost layer, there was a layer of white paper inside!
Owen Bertram unwrapped the white paper, revealing a layer of silver foil paper!
Owen Bertram tilted his head.
Sothing seed off?
Inside the silver foil paper was another layer of gold foil paper!
The package, which was initially the size of a fist, was now only the size of an egg.
Owen Bertram glared at the Fire Chieftain.
If there’s nothing good in it, I’ll whip you to vent my frustration!
Owen Bertram patiently unwrapped the gold foil paper, revealing a Beast Egg inside, or perhaps it’s a kind of seed…
Owen Bertram looked at it closely, no, it’s just a shell-shaped packaging!
He smashed it open with a punch, and a gust of wind mysteriously whizzed past, disappearing in no ti!
“Stay right there!”
Owen Bertram erected a barrier with his five fingers.
This treasured item was an intangible object which would escape and disappear once exposed.
It was no wonder that it was wrapped and sealed layer by layer.
Yet this “gust” was incredibly fierce, constantly colliding, unable to be trapped even by Owen Bertram’s Seventh Realm’s abilities!
Owen Bertram exclaid in surprise: “What is this——” At the sa ti, he opened up his Mini-world.
Once the gust entered his Mini-world, it would naturally have nowhere to escape.
