In the past few days, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei have been carefully studying the pink diamond, or the pink key to unlock the treasure of the ancient country, but they have found nothing at all.

Although this gem is the key to unlocking the treasure of the ancient country was said by Yoshioka Yu and others, they only know that the diamond is the key, and they know that they need to drop human blood on the diamond to open the key, but they don't know how to use this key, how to use the diamond to find the location of the treasure of the ancient country, and how to open the treasure.

Holding this diamond, Chen Ziyang looked at it over and over, this diamond feels very light, it feels like it is made of plastic, and the diamond does not have the cold feeling of jade or crystal, so Chen Ziyang feels that the material made of this key is not a diamond at all.

But he knew that this strange thing was much more valuable than a diamond in the minds of Yoshioka and others. In particular, the two of them, Yu Yoshioka and Instructor Liu, have to come two or three times a day almost every day to see if there is any progress on their side.

In the first few days, this Yoshioka Xiong was still pleasant, but as time went by, a dissatisfied expression on his face became more and more obvious, and it seemed that he was a little anxious. And Instructor Liu always looked at Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, who were very unpleasant, and never had a good face for the two of them.

Chen Ziyang is also anxious, if it continues like this, it is very likely that the lives of the two of them will be lost, after all, the only value of his and Yang Lei's lives now is this key, if he can't crack the secret, when the time of a month comes, when the key closes by itself, it will be his own death, but what's the use of being anxious.

These days, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei have tried almost all the methods that the two of them can come up with on this diamond. They shine the bright light of their flashlights on the diamond and look closely inside it, hoping to discover the hidden map. Or you can drop water on the diamond and soak it in water. The two of them tried countless methods like this, but they never got any results.

Even Chen Ziyang remembered what Lao Lu had said before, so he threw the diamond on the ground, hoping that the diamond could reveal a miracle to them again, so that the soil would automatically avoid and a deep well appeared, but it may be because the diamonds were still opened, and all the properties that these diamonds once showed were no longer visible.

Not to mention trying to make a hole in the ground, even the diamond's function of giving people perspective is no longer there. For two nights, Chen Ziyang slept with the diamond in his arms, hoping that the diamond would tell him the location of the treasure when he was in his dream.

Yang Lei tried his best, once, taking advantage of Chen Ziyang's inattention, he ran to the corner with the diamond and urinated on the diamond, hoping that his urine could stimulate the diamond.

So much so that later, when Chen Ziyang took the diamond in his mouth to see if he could find it, Yang Lei told him about it, causing Chen Ziyang to rinse his mouth more than 50 times.

Seven or eight days have passed since Chen Ziyang dripped blood onto the diamond, and during these seven or eight days, Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu have been dispatching troops and transporting supplies. Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei have been locked up in the tomb and do not know anything about the situation outside.

Ji Gangxiong made this tomb a temporary command center, many people went in and out of the tomb, and kept talking about something, although Chen Ziyang and they didn't know how many people were outside, but they knew that the scale of this operation was definitely not small.

Another day passed, Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu walked into the mezzanine where Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were being held, Yoshioka Xiong spoke a lot of Japanese to Chen Ziyang, but Instructor Liu translated very succinctly:

"Mr. Chen, this key has only been opened to the end of a month, and now a third of the time has passed, and Mr. Yoshioka's team is almost ready, and the last batch of personnel and supplies will arrive tomorrow, if you haven't figured out the matter of this key by then, then Mr. Yoshioka will be unkind to you."

After saying this, Instructor Liu slapped Yang Lei with two loud slaps, which bleed the corners of Yang Lei's mouth. After the two of them left, Chen Ziyang let out a long sigh and played with the gem in his hand. I've tried everything I can think of, but this diamond still hasn't responded at all. Aside from sighing, Chen Ziyang really didn't know what he had to do.

"Leizi, do you blame me? This time our brothers are really lucky, I kept you because I treat you as a real brother, and I know that even if you had to choose, you would do it, right? If something happens, I'm so sorry for you. Chen Ziyang said wistfully.

"The two of us grew up together with bare butts, you don't have to say these words to me, your choice is right, even if you asked me to choose at that time, the result is the same now, it must be the two of us who stay, I will definitely stay with you." You don't have to think so much, maybe the time hasn't come. ”

Yang Lei touched his somewhat swollen cheeks, and said hatefully: "This Wang Ba calf surnamed Liu, don't say anything about putting you in prison, and now you are still doing this to our buddies, don't let me get a chance, get a chance, I'll kill him and get him thorough." 4 knives and 8 holes, let him taste the taste of transparency. ”

"What did you say, get him through?" Chen Ziyang frowned, thinking carefully about something.

"The red knife goes in and the white knife comes out, I stabbed him in two holes with one knife, and the knife must be penetrated!" Chen Ziyang didn't listen to Yang Lei's cruel words, but was still thinking carefully about something there, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were shining.

"By the way, this is really smart but it was mistaken by cleverness, just because it didn't penetrate!" After saying this, Chen Ziyang looked down at the pink diamond he was holding in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"You've got a way? What do you mean by that. Although Yang Lei was persuading Chen Ziyang just now, if Chen Ziyang really couldn't crack the secret of this key, then the two of them only had twenty days to live, after all, no one wanted to die, and now seeing that Chen Ziyang seemed to have found a turning point, Yang Lei was also happy.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this diamond didn't react was because my blood didn't completely soak the diamond, that is, the key didn't fully open at all, so no matter what we did, the diamond didn't react."

In fact, Chen Ziyang has been wondering before, according to the things that Lao Lu said, this diamond contains a very powerful power, a supernatural power, this power is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, whether it is Lao Lu only touched it slightly, he gained the ability to see through the eye, or the diamond let the soil automatically avoid it in the process of falling, and finally a large amount of water came out, these two points are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Chen Ziyang went down to the crack in the ground, there was no trace of perennial immersion in water, originally he thought that the crack in the ground used to be a channel for underground water, but later in retrospect, he felt that the traces of that channel did not look like the traces of an underground river channel at all. In other words, it is very likely that the water is flowing from the diamond.

In this way, the power of diamonds is beyond imagination. But why is such a powerful diamond not responding at all now? It turned out that Chen Ziyang thought that because the diamond had turned on the mode of the key, these mana disappeared. But if diamonds have such power, how can they not be revealed at all?

And Yang Lei's words reminded him just now, this is because the current diamond is just in the middle of the normal mode and the fully opened key mode, because when he is in the underground crack, the blood dripping on the diamond is not enough at all, so this diamond has not completely transformed its mana into the key mode.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang took out the military dagger he had found in the tomb under the tomb from his backpack. After Chen Ziyang agreed to Yoshioka's conditions, Yoshioka Xiong did not make it too difficult for Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei. Instead, he returned all the things of the two men to them, but filled in the deep well in the mezzanine and imprisoned the two people here.

Although Ji Gangxiong was very interested in Chen Ziyang's Xuanming Ancient Sword, he once played with it for a long time, and said vigorously that this is a rare treasure, but for the sake of this ancient treasure, Yoshioka Xiong still did not leave this sword.

But Chen Ziyang knew that if he really helped them find the treasure of that ancient country, the lives of himself and Yang Lei would come to an end, and this sword would still be obtained by Yoshioka Yu at that time, so he was not in a hurry at this time, but adopted this pacification strategy, so that he could help him find this treasure with peace of mind.

After using this dagger to make a deep wound on the palm of his left hand, Chen Ziyang saw that the blood flowed out along the wound, he quickly picked up the diamond and put it under his palm, so that the blood dripped on the diamond drop by drop, Yang Lei also hurried over, lay on the side, and stared at the diamond carefully to see if the diamond had changed.

The four eyes of the two people were all attracted by the diamond, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei watched there motionlessly, after the blood dripped on the diamond drop by drop, the color of the place where the diamond first came into contact with the blood seemed to have deepened, and it no longer looked like pink, but changed to the color between pink and red.

"It's discolored, it's discolored, it seems to have really changed color, Eryang, look at it yourself." Yang Lei lay on the side and shouted excitedly.

Because Chen Ziyang had inadvertently dripped blood on this diamond before, he didn't know if this was a normal phenomenon. But after all, the partial color change of the diamond makes him think that he may have guessed correctly, but at this rate, it is likely that it will take a long time for the diamond to change color completely.

Because there was not much time left, in case this method did not work, he had to leave time to find another method, so Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth and simply put the diamond directly on the wound in his palm, so that the diamond could absorb blood directly from his wound. But what Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that as soon as the diamond touched the wound on his hand, it would suck there and not move.

At the same time, Chen Ziyang saw that more blood gushed out from his wound, and in an instant he felt that the forearm of his left arm had completely cooled, which was the result of the blood in his arm being sucked out.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound on Chen Ziyang's hand, and most of the blood was sucked into the diamond, but there was still a lot of blood dripping from the sides of his palm, even if the diamond absorbed most of the blood, the blood dripping now was much more than the blood that flowed from Chen Ziyang's wound before.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Chen Ziyang's face turned pale with fright, this time he was really careless, he didn't expect this diamond to undergo this kind of change after touching his wound, if it continued like this, all his blood would be sucked up by the diamond, so he quickly shook his hand, wanting to throw the diamond off his palm.

But no matter how hard Chen Ziyang tried, the diamond seemed to grow together with his palm, sticking to the palm of his hand and not moving. A large amount of blood was thrown aside, and Yang Lei was shaken in the face. After seeing that no matter how hard Chen Ziyang tried, the diamond did not move at all, Yang Lei was also anxious.

He came to Chen Ziyang's side, stepped Chen Ziyang's arm on the ground with his feet, and at the same time held the diamond with both hands, pulling it up desperately, trying to pull the diamond off Chen Ziyang's palm. But even if Yang Lei used all his strength to eat, the diamond was still glued to Chen Ziyang's palm, and he didn't want to separate at all.

At this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly let out a series of screams. This sudden shout made Yang Lei look in the direction of Chen Ziyang, and he found that Chen Ziyang had lost consciousness, his two eyes were turning upwards vigorously, the black eyeballs had already rolled into the eyelids, and Chen Ziyang's exposed eyes were only white eyeballs.

Colleague Yang Lei saw that Chen Ziyang's arm holding the diamond had shrunk rapidly. A large amount of blood was still pouring out of the wound on his palm, absorbed by the diamond, and Chen Ziyang's arm was shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now the skin on his arm had some folds.

Yang Lei and Chen Ziyang have been to many tombs, and they have also seen what dried corpses look like, and now Chen Ziyang's left arm looks exactly like those dried corpses. At this moment, Yang Lei was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and if he continued like this, it was very likely that Chen Ziyang would be turned into a dry corpse because he had sucked the blood of his whole body dry.

Biting his lower lip fiercely, Yang Lei made up his mind, he took out Chen Ziyang's Xuanming Ancient Sword from the side and raised it high, and slashed it at Chen Ziyang's arm holding the diamond.

Happy Lantern Festival to all!
