Chapter 95: Seeds of Hope
For the powerful Gang Qi absorption ability of the statue in front of him, Shen Huan was indeed helpless.
Shen Huan had a guess in his heart, and this guess was Shen Huan's only hope for fusing this special black stone with the Sword of Question.
Shen Huan took out the small piece of black stone he had obtained earlier from his bosom and wrapped this small piece of black stone with Gang Qi.
Due to its small size, this black stone does not have the ability to absorb Gang Qi, only the ability to store Gang Qi. Unless Shenhuan actively crosses the Gang Qi into the stone, it cannot affect the Gang Qi of the Divine Huan.
As soon as Shen Huan used the Gang Qi, he felt that the speed of the loss of Gang Qi in his body had accelerated a few points, which confirmed Shen Huan's guess.
Shen Huan pulled out the Questioning Sword and slowly fused the black stone with the Questioning Sword.
Although Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie knew that the Questioning Sword had this ability, this was the first time they had seen this magical scene, which made the two of them look at it intently.
Mu was even more dumbfounded. When the stone gradually turned into a liquid-like substance in Shenhuan's hands and slowly merged into the Questioning Sword and disappeared without a trace, Mu's surprise reached the extreme.
After the Sword of Inquiry fused with the small piece of black stone, Shen Huan placed the Sword of Inquiry in his hand on the giant shield in the statue's hand.
Shen Huan transmitted the qi of his whole body to the stone statue through the Questioning Heart Sword. Sure enough, as Shenhuan expected, because the Questioning Sword possessed the attributes of the black stone, the speed at which the Qi emitted by the Questioning Sword was absorbed and swallowed became very slow.
Shen Huan's aura quickly enveloped the entire body of the huge stone statue at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to fuse again.
The hard appearance of the stone statue, under the influence of the special ability of the Questioning Heart Sword, began to dissolve little by little. The original cold lines of the face, like the melting of ice and snow, gradually disappeared.
This is the third time that Shen Huan has used the ability of the Questioning Heart Sword, which is fused with materials, but it is the first time that Shen Huan knows about this ability, and it turns out that he also needs a huge amount of Gang Qi as support.
At this moment, Shenhuan is already sweating like rain. The close-fitting clothes have long been soaked, but fortunately they are covered by a windbreaker, and they don't look embarrassed.
"It's amazing! Shenhuan's aura is consuming at such a terrifying rate! Wait for this stone statue...... No, after this black stone is completely fused with Shenhuan's Questioning Sword, it is hard to imagine what kind of ability the Questioning Sword will have. Zhuo Qing's expression at the moment was no better than Mu's.
The process of fusion lasted for half an hour, and at the moment when the fusion was completed, the already dull Questioning Sword burst out with dazzling light! Zhuo Qing, Tu Lie, and Mu, who had been paying attention to the changes in the Questioning Sword, couldn't open their eyes for a while.
After the light dissipated and their vision returned, they found that Shen Huan had already retracted the Sword of Inquiry into its scabbard, and his face was flat from the excitement that had just recovered.
"How's it going? The result is beyond expectations?" Zhuo Qing noticed the residual joy on Shenhuan's face and smiled.
"Yes. Shenhuan nodded.
"Congratulations, brother!" Although Mu didn't quite understand what benefits this could bring to Shenhuan, judging from the conversation between Zhuo Qing and Shenhuan, Shenhuan must have benefited a lot. This made him, as a younger brother, sincerely happy.
"Thank you, brother. Shenhuan is obviously in a good mood, but he just maintains a superficial calm.
"Shenhuan, I'm curious about what kind of weird injuries will be caused by someone who is slashed by you now. Zhuo Qing looked at the sword of conscience on Shen Huan's waist, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the windbreaker.
"I'm also curious. So...... Let me stab you with a sword! I'm sure you won't let me down. Shenhuan looked at Zhuo Qing seriously, with a hidden smile in his eyes.
"What are you kidding!" Zhuo Qing jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, as if he didn't care about the image of a "civilized and elegant storyteller" that he worked hard to maintain every day, "Tu Lie must be the best candidate for such a thing." ”
Tu Lie smiled and didn't speak, walked behind Zhuo Qing silently, put Zhuo Qing's hands on his hands, and lifted Zhuo Qing's whole person up.
Zhuo Qing, whose feet were off the ground, had a panicked expression on his face, looked at Shenhuan who was approaching step by step, and finally showed a resolute look, and turned his face to the side: "Come on! Let me sacrifice for my friends!"
"Alright, stop acting. Again, Mu almost thought that we were real. Shenhuan said.
Tu Lie smiled and put Zhuo Qing down. The resolute look on Zhuo Qing's face, which was determined to die a moment ago, disappeared in an instant, and he returned to a dissatisfied expression.
"Tu Lie, you will always only use your muscles! You are breaking the rules of the game naked!" While saying, Zhuo Qing also flicked the position on his clothes that Tu Lie had just touched with disgust, as if there was some dust there.
"Just be effective. Tu Lie smiled nonchalantly.
Mu looked at the three of Shenhuan with some envy. After realizing that the three of them were just joking, Mu deeply envied the friendship of the three, which he had never had.
In his clan, Mu has no peers and no playmates. How difficult it is for those afflicted by poverty and hunger to reproduce, and all of them try to delay their duty to reproduce, which they cannot avoid.
Food scarcity is the root cause of the misery of the people in the Huangsha Corridor.
Mu clenched his fists, he must find the legendary seed, because that is their only hope!
"Where should we go next?" asked Zhuo Qing.
Zhuo Qing's question made everyone look around again, and they realized that this was a dead end! There was no way forward.
The most desperate thing about this ...... is Mu at this time.
"Don't jump to conclusions. Shenhuan rubbed Mu's head with his left hand, but his eyes looked at Zhuo Qing, and he didn't know whether he was saying this to Mu or Zhuo Qing.
Some places that seem to be secret rooms often hide mysteries. Shen Huan, Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie, who used to be treasure hunters, naturally understood this truth.
The three of them began to examine every stone brick around the area and on the ground, and finally their eyes fell on the spot where the statue had stood.
Where the stone statue was before, the ground was a huge stone slab completely different from the surroundings, with a flat and smooth surface.
"Can you find a way to open this stone slab from below?" asked Shenhuan Mu.
"Yes. Mu's right palm made a false gesture, and the Gang Qi lit up with a yellowish light in his palm, "Yellow Sand Combat Skill - Earth Dragon Burst!"
There was a faint tremor on the ground, and Mu's "Earth Dragon Burst" was fighting against some kind of force. Beads of sweat slipped down Mu Shang's somewhat immature face, and the clenched teeth were Mu Shang's determination to never give up any possibility!
"Drink!" Mu suddenly let out a low cry, and the square stone slab with the beating yellow sand gradually rose, but it was a huge stone tablet.
The yellow sand is still, and the stone monument is majestic.
This should be the stele left by the owner of this ruins, on the stele, written with dense ancient words, Zhuo Qing, who claims to be erudite, looked at it for a long time and found that he didn't know anyone.
"Do you know these words? "The things of the Yellow Sand Corridor are naturally handed over to the people of the Yellow Sand Corridor to deal with.
"I know, these are ancient yellow shawen. This kind of writing, even in the Yellow Sand Corridor, may not have been used for a long time. I've heard that some big tribes still use this ancient script when they organize large ceremonies, but I've only heard about it, but I haven't seen it. Do you want me to translate it to my brother?"
"Yes. Shen Huan is also curious about what kind of hero the owner of this ruin is. Whether it is the Yellow Sand Guard, the Hundred Beasts or this strange black stone, it all shows that the owner here was once extraordinary.
"I, the destroyer of the Yellow Sand Kingdom, the overthrower of civilization, and the eternal sinner of history. The three major crimes at the beginning made everyone stunned.
"As the king of a country, I mistakenly believed in the ministers and launched a war against the Divine Apocalypse Dynasty. After the war began, I finally learned what it meant to be arrogant and what it meant to hit a stone with an egg. I was wrong, forever wrong, ridiculously wrong, ridiculously wrong, it was I who personally buried the foundation of the Huangsha Kingdom for a hundred generations. ”
Hundreds of generations of wise monarchs, once the country hated!
"Before I died, I hastily built this mausoleum. Not to bury yourself, but to leave hope. The natural wind array on the periphery and the first two stone doors can only be opened by someone who is proficient in the Yellow Sand Battle Technique. Translated into this sentence, Mu blushed a little, which simply means that his Huangsha combat skills are not enough.
"The sand knife guard tests the courage of the comer, the corridor of a hundred folds tests the patience of the comer, and the wall of beasts tests the wisdom of the comer. ”
The people were a little embarrassed and tested their wisdom, and they seemed to have solved the problem with violence......
"If anyone who comes can find this stone tablet, they will get the hope I left behind - the seed of tears. Tear fruit is a special crop that can be grown on any land, it is the mercy of God, and it is the tears left by God when he sees the suffering of yellow sand. A tear fruit seed can grow an acre square tear fruit forest in the desert. The tear fruit grown in the desert was originally a staple food for the royal family of the Yellow Sand Empire, which was planted in small quantities. But now, I leave it behind, hoping that it will save the hungry people who have lost the protection of the kingdom thousands of years later......"
The seed of tears! This is the goal of Mu this time! Mu's voice was already trembling with excitement.
"Now that the mistake has been committed, and the country is irreparable, I will use my remnants to leave the last glory of the kingdom on the battlefield. I leave tears in the Hereafter, not in the hope that you will rebuild the kingdom and restore glory, but only as a final remedy for my mistakes. The top of the stele is three inches down, and the seeds of the tear fruit can be obtained from the broken stone, I hope you can use it well......"
A buried history of the remorse and hope left behind by a king......
After translating the contents of the stone tablet, Mu did not take out the seeds, but stood in silence for a long time.
Shenhuan gave Tu Lie a look, obviously this work of breaking the monument is not suitable for Mu Lai, who is now emotionally unstable.
Tu Lie understood, and with a swing of the giant hammer, the "Hammer Technique-Armor Piercing" slammed down three inches from the top of the stone tablet. The stele suddenly fell apart!
On the broken stone tablet, a bag of seeds lay silently, emitting a faint fluorescence.
That's the seed of hope!
