Chapter 2273: 2273
Crime approached the statue from the side, but it gave no reaction . So, Crime walked in front of the main hall’s gate . Nothing weird happened there, either .
“Mister White, if it isn’t affecting us, should we just ignore it?” Han Sen looked at the stone .
Mister White shook his head . “The Sacred Leader left this item here on purpose . Maybe we will require it later on, and it could be difficult to come back to get it . And Fox Queen might take it if we leave it here . ”
“You are right, but isn’t it possible that the Sacred Leader is trying to play us? There might actually be a trap inside the stone,” Han Sen said .
Mister White was momentarily silent . “That’s possible, but I still think we should try . If the Sacred Leader wants to trick us, we might have to spring the trap in order to find the treasure . ”
“Let me give it a try,” Crime said . He gathered up a surge of black light within his knife and swung it at the stone .
Dong!
A strike that could split space came down on the stone . It made a loud clanging sound, but the stone wasn’t damaged . And there wasn’t even a mark left behind .
Crime’s face became grim . The black light rose around his body and turned into a dark fire . His body looked as if it was wholly shielded by demons . The disturbing light danced around the hall .
The dark light surrounded Han Sen, and he could not see or feel anything . It was like he was stuck in absolute darkness .
Han Sen was shocked . He expanded the bird’s nest to shield himself and the blood kirin, in case Crime was preparing to attack them .
“Crime’s area of effect ability can muffle all seven senses . It kind of resembles my Dongxuan Aura . ” While Han Sen was thinking, the darkness dissipated .
Crime hadn’t tried to attack them . When the room brightened again, he was standing beside the rock, looking defeated . He shook his head to Mister White . He had tried his best, but he had been unable to break the stone .
“Mister White, would you like to give it a try?” Crime offered politely .
“No thanks . If not even your power was able to leave a mark on it, then this stone isn’t something that can be opened by brute force,” Mister White said, then walked over to the stone to examine it .
Han Sen put away his bird’s nest . He walked closer to the stone and used his Purple-Eye Butterfly to check the stone out .
The history of the stone began to scroll back in Han Sen’s vision, and after a minute or two, Han Sen jumped in surprise .
The stone had originally been a bucket of viscous liquid, like cement . A demon-like creature was thrown into the liquid .
No matter how much the demon struggled, it was unable to get out . The demon and that liquid were dumped into a mold . The liquid hardened over time until it became the stone in front of them .
Han Sen raised his eyebrow at the stone .
Mister White looked at it for a while and frowned . “This stone seems to have a will of its own . A very scary will, at that . Perhaps that will is the key to breaking the stone open . ”
“Mister White, what do you propose to do?” Crime asked .
Mister White thought and said, “Let me use my soul sealing technique . I’ll see if I am able to seal the will that’s inside this thing . ”
After that, Mister White lowered his hand onto the stone, a strange symbol glowing on his palm . The symbol pressed against the stone, and the quiet stone was suddenly shaking like mad . A demonic, roaring noise came from it . It was terrifying .
Under the glow of the symbol’s light, the green stone started to bleed . The stone turned red .
Pat!
The symbol that Mister White had branded onto the stone cracked and shattered, and then the stone returned to normal again .
Mister White was pale and trembling . Crime immediately moved over to put a hand on his shoulder and ask, “Sir, are you okay!”
“I am fine . ” Mister White shook his head . “The will inside that stone is so strong that not even my soul sealing technique worked . I’m afraid that this will belongs to a deified being . ”
Upon hearing those words, Han Sen smiled and asked, “Mister White, if I am able to break this stone, can I have whatever is inside?”
“We are cooperating, so we will have to share, of course,” Crime said coldly .
Mister White, however, seemed to have thought of something . He smiled . “If Han Sen can open it, then it would be a waste to leave it here . If you can open it, then the item inside is all yours . If it is useful, I hope you will use it to help us when the time demands it . ”
“Of course . ” Han Sen walked in front of the stone . He pulled out a silver sycee and placed it on the stone . Then he stepped back . Han Sen used his mind to self-destruct the beast soul he had linked to the sycee .
After the beast soul was destroyed, the silver sycee’s suppressing power was directed into the stone, instead . The stone started to shake again, and a scary roaring noise came from it . Drops of blood appeared on its surface .
The silver sycee was vibrating as well, but it did not fall off the top of the stone where Han Sen had placed it .
“It looks like the leader left the Silver Treasure Fruit Tree in the palace earlier on purpose . It was not a random placement; it was put there so that this stone could be broken . It is fortunate Han Sen brought the silver sycees with him . Otherwise, we’d have had no hope of opening this stone,” Mister White said .
While they were talking, cracks began to spread across the stone’s surface . The raging noises of its interior became even worse .
Pang!
Suddenly, the stone exploded . Chunks of red rock flew in every direction . When the dust had settled, Han Sen walked over to the site of the explosion and picked up an item .
It was a green crystal orb . There seemed to be smoke inside it, and the cloudy mass swirled with a magical allure . Han Sen could even see words flashing within the murk .
“What is it?” Crime asked Han Sen, who was still holding the orb .
Han Sen grinned and put the orb in his pocket . “Didn’t Mister White say that the contents of the stone would be mine?”
Crime grunted and turned away from Han Sen . Mister White smiled graciously . “Well, now you have it . Let’s get moving . ”
Han Sen doubted that Mister White and Crime would keep their promises . They had come there prepared, and they were going to betray Han Sen . He was very firm in his suspicions, so he had to claim as many rewards as he could for as long as he was able to .
Han Sen followed behind Mister White, examining the orb as he went .
The orb was very misty, and the cloudiness almost hid the words inside it . When Han Sen looked closely, he was given a surprise . The content of the text was similar to the Blood-Pulse Sutra .
