Yamada Ichiro's spatial tool was quite... unique.

How to put it?

It had a very Yinhe Country style.

There were many strange and inexplicable tools.

From ancient times to the present, things that could grace a hall or work in a kitchen, which not only broadened Mingxi's horizons but also thoroughly shook her worldview several times over.

"This guy is ninety-nine percent a little devil."

Mingxi came to this conclusion.

Of course, besides all that messy stuff, there were also many normal things in the spatial tool: energy crystals, energy fruits, and some decent materials.

But what was most eye-catching were still those piles of pet beast eggs.

It must be said, this guy's luck wasn't bad; over a dozen rare-grade eggs were already impressive, and there was even one legendary-grade Transcendent creature egg belonging to Tina Purple Lotus.

Mingxi frowned.

She hadn't relaxed for a second over the past four days, and while she couldn't claim to know every pet beast egg in everyone else's possession, someone like Edinburgh, who thought he was being very subtle, was actually more obvious than a glowing light bulb in Mingxi's eyes.

So, his every word and action had always been under Mingxi's observation.

She knew very well which pet beast eggs he had obtained.

Tina Purple Lotus was definitely not among them.

"Could this pet beast egg have been obtained by him before entering the valley?" Guangguang speculated.

Mingxi was silent for a moment, "There's another possibility: he possesses an item that can shield and confuse others' senses and vision, so what we saw before wasn't real."

Guangguang was slightly startled.

"Is that possible? If an item is used, there must be energy fluctuations, and it's unlikely I wouldn't detect them... unless it's..."

Mingxi continued his sentence: "Unless it's a divine artifact!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In Mingxi's hand appeared a white jade chess piece, about the size of a fingernail, flat and smooth, its surface covered with tiny ice-cracked patterns, as if it could shatter at any moment.

This chess piece emitted an extremely ancient, obscure, yet subtle and mysterious fluctuation, faintly resonating with the aura of the entire Silent Mystery Realm, yet completely independent.

A bit of mixed spiritual imprint still remained on it.

It should belong to its previous 'owner,' but Mingxi was certain that this white jade chess piece had not been bound.

"Master, this thing is indeed a divine artifact, but it's so strange."

Guangguang's bewildered voice echoed in her spiritual sea: "It gives me the feeling of being incomplete, yet its internal structure is perfect, but if you say it's perfect, it also feels like it's missing something..."

It wasn't just Guangguang who was bewildered.

Mingxi also felt the strangeness of this white jade chess piece.

That contradictory feeling of being both similar and not.

It made Mingxi want to scratch her ears and cheeks like Monkey King.

"It can be activated with spiritual power, and its function is absolute perception tampering, also known as mindscape overwrite."

Absolute perception tampering, as the name suggests, can alter the perceptions of everyone within its range, making what they see and perceive completely different.

Mindscape overwrite is similar: it covers up real observations and replaces them with false perceptions.

"This divine artifact is called the Formless Chess Piece."

Guangguang was curious: "Can you bind it?"

Mingxi tried.

It was a futile attempt.

"Your feeling should be correct; it is indeed incomplete, likely because it is only part of a complete set of divine artifacts."

Chess, Go.

It is certainly impossible to have only one white piece.

Guangguang immediately understood: "You mean it's only part of a Go set? And there are another 179 white pieces and 181 black pieces?"

"The exact number of pieces is hard to say, but there must be at least one black piece and a chessboard, and perhaps two chess containers as well."

"If it's truly as you speculate, then if this set of divine artifacts could be complete, it would be extraordinary! Its rank might even be comparable to the Time Realm!"

Mingxi's heart jolted, and she immediately realized the immense significance of this item.

Consider this person's identity.

It's likely that this white jade chess piece and the Descent have an unspeakable connection.

And she killed this person, so his belongings fell into her hands.

All of this was witnessed by so many people.

No matter how she thought about it, there was a strong need to Silence witnesses.

While considering the feasibility of silencing witnesses, Mingxi subtly put her wristband and the white jade chess piece into the Time Realm.

She quickly and efficiently collected all the other miscellaneous items, including the corpses.

The Beast Tamers watched with burning envy and pounding hearts, yet no one dared to speak, let alone intervene.

Hadn't they seen what happened to those five people just now?

A person's name, a tree's shadow; Mingxi, this genius girl, and her Golden Ingot Eight pet beasts, were simply monsters among monsters!

Soon, the messy valley was restored to its clean and tidy state, showing no signs of the fierce battle that had taken place.

After completing all this, Mingxi felt her spiritual sea become full again.

Only then did she look at the group of people still standing dumbfounded in the valley.

They hadn't even felt her overwhelming killing intent; such dullness would surely lead to their demise sooner or later.

Perhaps she should just end them now?

Alas.

What a pity.

Her prejudice was a great kindness.

She couldn't bring herself to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

She could only signal to Golden Ingot Eight.

"Let's go."

Sitting on Lan Yue's back, she no longer looked at the group of Beast Tamers who had escaped death, and leisurely walked towards the valley exit, which was no longer obstructed.

...

Staying in the valley for four days was unexpected for Mingxi.

Of course, this did not hinder their robust growth; heading north, although they didn't encounter large numbers of pet beast eggs along the way, they did gather many rare materials.

Through red soul tuan's 【Eat Until You're Full and Take the Rest】, their harvest, even if it couldn't be described as overflowing, at least qualified as 'quite abundant.'

On the seventh day of entering the Silent Mystery Realm, everyone gradually adapted to the situation where they couldn't hear anything.

Mingxi and Golden Ingot Eight all felt their unspoken understanding with each other improve.

Even the power of their bond had silently grown considerably; at least, everyone received Mingxi's commands via the bond more accurately and quickly.

This wasn't just due to the Silent Mystery Realm; it was also because of the positive effect of the second golden egg hatching – comprehensive amplification.

Under the influence of comprehensive amplification, no matter how frequently they consumed energy, they could replenish it in a very short time.

And as is well known, for any kind of strength, consumption is a way of improvement.

The power of the bond is no different.

So, even without any other gains, this trip was still well worth it.

On this day, Mingxi and her group passed through a desolate, dead forest where all the trees, flowers, and plants had withered and died, leaving only a rustling expanse of dead wood.

Unbeknownst to them, lead-gray thick clouds had gathered in the sky, and what rolled within the clouds was not ordinary lightning.

Instead, it was a heart-pounding, eerie purple lightning with a strong sense of death and corrosion.

"It's Yin Thunder °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Acid Rain!"

It was not unexpected, not at all.

They had indeed encountered the 'specialty' of this Silent Mystery Realm.

Mingxi felt a sense of finality.

Before she could finish sighing.

A pungent smell was already wafting through the air.
