Chapter 17: Eaten
It would be easy to open the grotto that I had visited before.
After pressing the mechanism and rumbling, it was still the stone path, the stone door, and the hexagonal secret room, the piles of various spars still reflected the light of the torches.
The stone niche was opened again, and the hexagonal beam of light fell obliquely.
"All the spars I found are here, they haven't moved at all, sea urchin, can you see if there is any spirit crystal?"
The tentacles of the sea urchin's soul body are placed on Bufan's soul silk, and he can borrow all of Bufan's senses to observe the outside world, perhaps because he feels the reflection of the gems under a few thin rays of light, or because he glimpses the various lines and petroglyphs on the stone wall behind the light, and its recovery is a little sluggish, and it only starts after a while," ...... The second generation may have declined, or they may have been stumped by some difficult guy...... Most of the crystals on the ground are useless stones, and if you turn them over, Lao Tzu feels that there is something in them......"
Bufan didn't take the sea urchin's words - the four-armed second-generation human may have been in some trouble, but that couldn't be what he could get involved in, especially now that he was just a mortal from a distant planet.
He didn't follow the advice of the sea urchin to start immediately, but stopped three or five steps away from the gem pile and asked, "According to the old tradition on the earth, this kind of gem will be smeared with poison, you don't have to worry about the sea urchin, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to touch it like this......
"What are you afraid of?" After looking ahead and looking at Bufan, the sea urchin cried out in annoyance, "Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of? You are a gluttonous remnant! Even if you fail to enlighten the inheritance of gluttony, your body is different from others! If you don't believe Lao Tzu's words, do you think back to yourself, since you can remember, have you had the experience of food poisoning or the like? Have you ever been bitten by a poisonous insect but were safe?"
Yes, I have never eaten a bad stomach since I was a child, even during my time in Amazon, I have never had the experience of being bitten by mosquitoes and itching, I originally thought it was an anthelmintic drug or something, but it turned out that my body was different from others?
Bu Fan suddenly thought in his heart, if the sea urchin used words to tell himself, then there were more than one thing in his memory that others ate bad stomachs and they were safe, but now that he thinks about it, it is obviously not something that can be explained by eating less.
If you think about something and make sure of it, you don't need to hesitate anymore.
Squatting down and looking at the hedron or gemstone stacked on top of each other like ordinary stones, it would be false to say that there was no ripple in Bufan's heart - none of these crystal clear stones were smaller than the size of an egg!
Even if half of them are so-called worthless mineral crystals, and the remaining half are absolutely the existence of the so-called peerless treasures far beyond the earthly stars, how much wealth can a few cubic meters of "peerless treasures" be exchanged for?
Billions or billions? It's not the East Asian dollar, it's the world currency, the United States dollar!
How much purchasing power can a few hundred billion dollar have?
Bouvan is certainly well aware.
But how much trouble can this mass of "stones" cause?
Bufan knows better!
As a doctor of study abroad who has been in Europa for ten years, and has gone through so much "death" survival training, he knows better than anyone what capital and wealth bring, maybe there will be happiness, but more is full of greedy prying eyes, surrounded by such gaze, who can maintain a peaceful life?
At least for now, Bufan doesn't think he has that ability.
So, after a flash of greed, he took out a dagger from his waist and tossed it directly in it, just like rummaging through a pile of taro and looking for potatoes mixed in it, the only difference was that the taro had some lines, and the potatoes did not, and the so-called gems were only more transparent than stones.
Turning over a large number of stones is obviously a boring job, Bu Fan's subordinates are non-stop, but the soul sea is asking the sea urchin, "In these stones, is there any energy crystal you said?"
"What are you doing with that thing, it's useless to you!" replied the sea urchin, a little absent-mindedly.
Bu Fan ignored the state of mind of the sea urchin—who doesn't have a mind? Not to mention an old ghost who has lived hundreds of thousands?
He directly began to explain, "I'm afraid there is no energy crystal on the earth and star, and I want to give it to ...... These two armguards are equipped with energy to try, at least to protect yourself in case of danger, not rely on your ...... Power ......"
"Hmm......" the sea urchin paused noncommittally for a moment before continuing, "There is no aura that can be emanated from crystals nearby...... You idiot, if the descendants of the second generation find Nengjing, they will keep a weapon for you to discover?"
Bufan gave himself a slap in the face, he was indeed stupid, there was a pile of transparent stones on the ground, if there was really an energy crystal in it, then there was only one possibility - the two armguards were not out of energy, but damaged.
If he has no energy, he can find a way to replenish it, or change the way it is delivered, but what about the broken ones? He doesn't even have a way to disassemble the pair of arm guards, let alone repair them...... Forget it, I think too much about headaches...... He began to continue to ...... in earnest Turn over the stones......
A large pile of hedron together is much more difficult to turn over than ordinary stones, at least ordinary stones will not reflect, do not worry about affecting the visual problem, a large pile of spars or gems piled together, but it will really dazzle the eyes - unbelievers can go to the glass factory and try to find a specific color in a pile of glassware.
Six bright rays of light shone through the dimly lit chamber, and the transparent hedrons reflected dazzling light...... Because they are transparent, their shapes are not so easy to identify, and after looking at them for a long time, they will always feel dazzled.
So much so that after turning over for a while, Bufan had to drop the dagger that was efficient and flipped it directly with his hands, using his sense of touch to distinguish the shape while avoiding being cut through the skin by the prismatic spikes.
A sapphire the size of an egg, not so transparent, tossed aside, a few similarly shaped pink clusters of crystals, the wrong color, tossed aside, a pinch of colorful spars with a jumble of colors, even more wrong, tossed aside......
A pile on the left, a pile on the right, overturned almost half of the hedrons, and he twisted a scepter-like thing inlaid with a jewel of an egg, ready to throw it aside.
"Wait, don't throw it!" the sea urchin suddenly cried out in the sea of souls.
Bufan, who had been a mechanic for a long time, was still a little surprised, "What's the matter? The stone on this is not blue polarized ......."
“...... Could it be that this time of the year is a popular fool to have good luck?" the sea urchin cursed disdainfully, and then shouted: "You take this thing outside, and take off the stone on it and look at it again!"
Confused but unable to argue, Bufan could only act according to orders.
Walk outside the cave, secure the inexplicable scepter, and use the dagger to pry the metal claws that hold the gem to its top.
Fortunately, the metal of the scepter was nowhere near as hard as the material of the dagger, and it was quickly taken off.
Bufan carefully weighed the multifaceted crystal in his hand, which was almost a sphere, and for some reason, a very strange thought suddenly surged in his heart, a voice that seemed to come from the depths of his own mind urging him to "eat it".
Shaking his head, he was sure that there was not something strange that had broken into his soul sea, and then he opened his mouth to ask, "Sea urchin, are you saying that this thing is the Spirit Crystal?"
"That's right, this is the Spirit Crystal!" The sea urchin's surprised fluctuation once again rippled in Bufan's soul sea, "It's really weird, could it be that the will of this world has changed its appetite? How can it casually let you achieve your goal? Boy, what are you? In the words of your clan, is this shit luck?"
"How do I know?" Bu Fan clutched the polyprismatic stone in his hand, trying his best not to see it, feeling the stronger and stronger voice in his heart, and the sea of souls did not forget to say insulting sea urchins again, "You old guy in the high-dimensional world who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years can't understand it, how can I, an ordinary human race, know? Maybe it's because I have a good character?"
"Good character, what do you mean?" The sea urchin who was ridiculed didn't understand for a while, and actually asked in a daze.
"......" Bu Fan didn't dare to explain directly, he was now asking for the old guy sea urchin, so he could only murmur vaguely, "It means good luck...... By the way, don't care what's going on with this thing, is it enough to find one? Do you need to prepare a few more?"
"How many more?" If the sea urchin still had a body, it would definitely make this greedy boy see how he rolled his eyes, "You think that the Spirit Crystal is an ordinary rotten stone? can you find it casually? This thing is something that can only be born when the star core is formed, and ordinary galaxies may not have this thing! You bastard is not content yet? is it really ...... What a ......."
"Old sea urchin, don't worry, I just didn't know before I asked you, you talked about things vaguely, where do I ......" Bu Fan chattered casually for a while, and found that the thorny ball soul body of the sea urchin in the soul sea space was one and a half larger, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, I won't say it......, it's not enough! Why do I feel hungry all of a sudden, and I want to swallow this thing in one bite......"
"Swallow!" replied indignantly.
"What?" Bu Fan's mood was not very good, and he asked in surprise when he resisted the thought of swallowing: "Sea urchin, are you sure you don't want to choke me to death?" I can hold this thing in my mouth, but I don't have such a thick throat, I will definitely choke to death if I swallow it!"
"! Choke you Lao Tzu can still live? If you are told to eat, you will eat! Gluttonous people are big-mouthed monsters, and what they can swallow in their mouths can be digested!"
Bu Fan didn't dare to speak again, grabbed the slightly hot Qiling Crystal Stone and looked left and right, the underlying sound in his heart seemed to become louder and louder, and even his intestines and stomach began to cramp, the common sense told him that he was not the kind of cow who could use glass ballast and iron nails as a snack, and he would definitely have indigestion after eating this stone, but now both the voice in his heart and the suggestion of the Dead Sea Urchin are to eat it.
Confused, he put the hedron to his mouth, trying to see if he could chew and chew this thing and eat it in the same way that the cowman could bite and break glass.
It's just that as soon as he put it in his mouth, before his teeth touched, the saliva spilled the surface of the spar, and the spar ...... It turned out to be as smooth as an eggshell soaked in vinegar, and with the push of his hand, this thing actually went straight into his mouth!
His mouth was filled, and the latent thought in his heart boiled like hot water in a boiling pot, and his throat squirmed involuntarily, and he actually ate this spar that was no smaller than a duck's egg!
Did he really eat a stone?!
No way!
