Chapter 5 Stone Ring
Now the world has changed too much, animals and plants have changed, and even supernatural life forms have appeared, and the future is unpredictable. Xu Zifan must prepare for the future.
Because his family came to the county seat relatively early, the yard is very large.
Xu's father's job is to repair cars, and he usually does some farm work, so there are still a lot of ironware at home, and all kinds of commonly used equipment are available.
He first prepared some spare things, such as axes, iron picks, etc.
Then he went to the store and bought two pig-killing knives, about half a foot long, bright and shiny, made of stainless steel.
In fact, what he wanted most was a folding crossbow, but there was no such thing for sale in the small county town where his family was located, and the blacksmith shop only existed in his memory.
Now buying online, it keeps showing that it is out of stock, or it is inconvenient to ship.
Secondly, he also wanted a thicker and more focused knife, and again, he couldn't find a place to sell it. Therefore, we can only retreat and use a pig-killing knife to prevent it from happening.
Then he welded two of his family's high-quality steel pipes and two pointed chisels forged from high-quality high-carbon steel to make two spears about two meters long, and the morning had passed.
After lunch at noon, Xu Zifan turned on the news to learn about the latest situation.
In the news report, it was affirmed that after this mutation, all living beings, including humans, had much stronger physical functions, especially the fog that had permeated the world in the past two days, which may have been caused by the revival of Reiki.
Of course, in China it is temporarily called Reiki, and each other country has a different name.
Xu Zifan can also deeply feel that in the past few days, after breathing in the air, he is much more comfortable than before the abnormal changes in the sky, and his whole body is comfortable, which may really be that the aura has changed everything.
Now everyone on the Internet is saying that the aura is revived, the era of the end of the Dharma has ended, and the era of cultivation has now come.
There has been a lot of noise on the Internet, everyone is very enthusiastic, and at the same time, there are more people who get Tianbao in the report, or there are more people who have changed.
For example, someone gets a sword with a dark body engraved with a seven-star pattern.
There are also people who have eaten strange fruits, who were originally weak scholars, but now they have become infinitely powerful, and they can lift things weighing five hundred pounds with both hands without difficulty.
There are also people who have crystal clear eyes and can see things far away, no less than a telescope.
Today, the state has urgently set up a special state management group, and has appealed to the whole country that those who have obtained Tianbao, as well as those who have abnormal physical changes, can report to the special management group in each county, and the state will definitely not treat these people badly.
And remind everyone to pay attention to safety, now is an extraordinary time, animals and plants are mutating, spirits are looming, and bad things have happened in some places, and there are mutated creatures attacking human beings. It is recommended that everyone travel in groups and do not act alone.
Xu Zifan turned off the news, sat on a stone next to his jujube tree in the courtyard, and took out three stones from his pocket.
The blue light was shining and light, and it was remarkable at first glance, and it was the sky-blue stone he had dug up yesterday in a mound of dirt not far from the rest of the coach.
"Is this also Tianbao?"
Xu Zifan was surprised, he couldn't help but think about it too much, after all, there were unseen blue flowers on the mound where the three blue stones were located at that time, and the flowers were too brilliant and must be extraordinary.
"Is it the blue flowers that come from these three stones?" Xu Zifan thought.
"Fluttering ......"
At this moment, a sound sounded on the jujube tree beside Xu Zifan, and through the thick fog, a bird the size of a dustpan could be seen flying onto his jujube tree.
Since it is autumn now, there are still unpicked red dates on the jujube tree, and the bird is eating red dates on the tree at this time.
Xu Zifan took a closer look, this bird was brown and black with a brown and black patch, a smart gaze, a short, thick and strong beak, a cone-shaped, and a slightly curved beak. It's an enlarged sparrow.
"Wang ...... Barking! ”
At this time, Xu Zifan's dog Xiaohuang heard the movement and ran over, running around the jujube tree while barking at the sparrows in the tree.
"Fluttering ......" The sparrow flew away.
Suddenly seeing such a big sparrow, contrary to common sense, Xu Zifan was frightened in his heart, his back was covered with cold sweat, it was one thing to see mutated animals in news reports, and it was another thing to see them in reality.
After a while, Xu Zifan calmed down, frowning, very worried.
Now that the animals have just begun to mutate, the previous fear of people has not changed, but as the animals and plants mutate for a long time, it is difficult to say, and he feels urgency and pressure. The world has changed, and I need to change myself.
"Huh? What's that? ”
At this moment, Xu Zifan saw a gray disc-shaped thing hanging on a branch of his jujube tree.
He hooked off the things on the jujube tree with the wooden strips in the yard, took it in his hand, and looked at it carefully. It was found that it was a stone ring-shaped object, about five or six catties, the size of an adult's palm.
"The shape of this stone is so regular."
Xu Zifan weighed the stone ring-shaped object in his hand, which was not so much a ring shape as a stone disc, and the diameter of the circle in the middle was about half of the entire ring-shaped object.
"Artificial?" Xu Zifan looked at the stone ring in his hand, although it was stone, the edge part did not have any edges and corners, and it was even slightly smooth, a little rounded, as if it had been polished.
Looking closely, I found that the stone ring was covered with lines, which was very blurry and dull. Even some of the blurry parts are not clear to see, and it is easy to ignore them if you don't look closely.
Xu Zifan took the stone ring home, washed the stone ring with water, and looked carefully, the stone ring as a whole is gray, and there are different shades of lines on it, like artificially carved up, and like a trace of natural formation, mottled and old.
"It looks like a stone tool left over from an ancient tribe."
Xu Zifan muttered to himself. Suddenly, the corners of Xu Zifan's eyes shrank, thinking that this should be the Tianbao circulating on the Internet. It's too coincidental to get it this way.
"Dad, Mom, this thing is hanging on our jujube tree, I found it hooked today, do you know it, what is this thing?" Xu Zifan ran to his parents' room and asked.
"I've never seen anything like this." Xu Zifan's parents said after watching it carefully.
"Is it really a heavenly treasure?" Xu Zifan took it back to his room and carefully rubbed the stone ring to think.
"Zifan, it's time to eat." Xu Zifan's parents shouted outside.
"Okay! I'm coming! He put the stone ring in his hand on the table and opened the door to eat.
After the meal, Xu Zifan kept playing with the stone ring, and searched the Internet to check the classics, but still did not find the origin of the stone ring.
Now the global mutation has intensified, and in the past two days, more mutated creatures and more strange events have appeared around the world. Many people began to risk their lives and go into dense fog and into inaccessible places in search of the mutated fruit.
However, there are many people who have eaten the mutated fruit, but it has no effect, and some of the mutated fruit is even a highly toxic substance.
Many people around the world have been admitted to hospitals and even died of poisoning because of eating mutated fruits. Of course, there are also a small number of people who become mutants, possess strange supernatural abilities, and become human beings.
Even though the risk of mutation is very high, there are still many people who are not afraid of the risk and try it.
In the evening, ......the mobile phone rang for a while, and Xu Zifan took out his mobile phone and looked at the address book, which was called by his friend Lin Tian.
"Fanzi, I'll see you tomorrow, I have something to tell you." Xu Zifan connected his mobile phone, and a familiar voice came.
