Chapter 457: Stone Ball

The thing Jace had brought out, let's call it a stone, had a pitted and dazzling color, and at first glance it looked like a burnt briquette, and its overall shape was roughly round, the size of an adult's fist.

After a slap on Jace's head, Tali said angrily, "I made you dishonest and dare to fool me with a cinder ball?"

While waving his arms indiscriminately to block Tali's "offensive", Jace hurriedly begged for mercy: "Big sister, don't fight, how dare I lie to you, it's really this thing!"

Although Leach was also very skeptical, seeing that the expression on Jace's face did not seem to be fake, he pulled Tali, who was beating Jace, behind him and asked, "What is this, tell me specifically!"

Compared with Tully, who can move at every turn, Jace is more afraid of Leach, who is completely unaffected by the treasure in his hand, after all, the premise that Tully can beat him at will is that Leach can easily subdue him, so after seeing that it was Leach who asked him, he didn't dare to hide it at all, and explained the origin of this thing clearly.

Jace is an orphan, he has no father and mother since he was a child, eating and drinking have become problems, resulting in him being much thinner than his peers, and what is even more unfortunate is that he has no talent for cultivation, and no master is willing to teach him.

Fortunately, when Jace was twelve years old, he was taken in by a kind-hearted grocery store owner who also had no talent for cultivation, and only then did he live a good life of food and clothing.

From the region to heaven, Jace naturally cherishes this hard-won happy life, and usually works as a partner in the store for the grocery store owner who took him in, because he is very diligent, but he is also quite fond of him.

After eight years of living in peace, the twenty-year-old Jace has fully taken over the position of grocery store owner, who usually only sits in the store to smoke cigarettes and collect money, and does manual tasks such as carrying goods.

Just when Jace thought that his life would be so plain but peaceful, the small but warm grocery store ushered in the first and last mob in his life.

At that time, it was the Huya Gang and other gangs competing for the first place again, and every time at this time, large and small cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods would take advantage of the chaos to do some shameless things that they usually did not dare to do, and it was common to burn and loot in the city of Guna, and the grocery store was looted by a group of five big and three rough thugs in this context.

That alone would not have triggered a series of events that followed, but Jace, who was young and had never experienced any of this, saw that the grocery store he had worked so was in ruins in an instant, and rushed forward to scuffle with the mob.

It is conceivable that Jace, who has no cultivation foundation, is simply no match for the thugs, and he was knocked to the ground in a few clicks.

Perhaps it was Jace's angry and crazy eyes that angered the mob, and instead of leaving, they knocked him down, but surrounded him again with a smirk.

Seeing that the emaciated Jace was about to be beaten to death, the distressed old shopkeeper finally mustered up the courage to step forward and protect him under him.

Jace didn't know how long it took for the mob to leave satisfied, but when he woke up from the pain, all he saw was the painful but peaceful face of the old shopkeeper.

It was the first time in Jace's life that he cried.

After burying the old shopkeeper, Jace returned to the grocery store full of anger but nowhere to vent, and he could only vent his anger at the ruins in front of him.

Just as he was punching and kicking a pile of broken wood, an unsightly stone ball rolled at his feet.

In a fit of rage, Jace wanted to kick it away, but for some reason, just as he was about to put his thoughts into action, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the ugly-looking stone ball.

Curious, Jace grabbed the stone ball in his hand, and the moment his finger touched the stone ball, the anger in his chest was extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, as if the old shopkeeper had taught him in his ears before his death.

Jace considered the stone ball to be the last gift he had left to the old shopkeeper, and he kept it with him until he was at his best, never discarding it.

The grocery store could no longer reopen, so Jace chose to visit the hometown that the old owner had told him about.

Inevitably, Jace was targeted again during the journey, and I don't know if God likes to joke with him, but this time he met the same kind of bastard who does all kinds of evil.

Upon learning that Jace had nothing of value on him, the robbers scolded him.

During the beating, Jace's blood flowed onto the stone ball in his arms, and the next moment, an incomparable coercion emanated from him, from the stone ball in his arms to be exact.

By the time Jace felt that no one had done anything to him anymore, he was left with a bunch of idiots who only knew how to giggle.

As a result, Jace senses that his chance to avenge the old shopkeeper has finally come, and after continuous research, he finally discovers a way to activate the special effects of the stone ball.

And because he believed that the culprits of all the tragedies were the so-called cultivators who felt they could do whatever they wanted with a little strength, the targets of his attack were all this group, and the legend of the "roadblocker" began from there.

During this period, Jace did not forget to visit the old shopkeeper's hometown, but unfortunately time has passed, and it has become completely ruined, and he has become a little radical, and he also blames this on human disasters, and his actions are even worse.

Although Jace had told the origin of the stone ball in its entirety, it was still impossible for the crowd to tell what it was.

Later, under the "teaching" of Tali, Leach and the others tried to manipulate the stone balls one by one according to the method taught by Jace, but unfortunately, the stone ball seemed to be at his disposal, and in Leach's hands, it was just a waste with no use.

Since it was of no use to his own people, Leach returned the stone ball to him in the midst of Jace's great gratitude.

Fortunately, although Jace is not very good, he still has a horse as a means of transportation outside the city of Gunnar all year round, and the two in the team, Tizzel and Catherine, finally have a place to rest without delaying everyone's time, which is also a solution to the urgent need.
