In the quiet underground training ground, Qin Yazhi looked at the treasures placed on the ground almost for a moment.
Qin Yazhi didn¡¯t ask much about Chen Hongtao¡¯s move of spreading the oilcloth that gave people a sense of silence on his knees.
The jade-like Lithops are extremely beautiful in color and shape, and dotted with green and white spherical leaves, giving Qin Yazhi the impression of admiring a jade cabbage. The crystal clear and bright visual sense is a complete enjoyment.
"Aunt Qin, don't underestimate it. This is not an ordinary Lithops plant. If you touch it, you will feel a cool and heavy feeling. Moreover, this fist-sized thing is heavier than a gas tank." Chen Hongtao smiled. Said to Qin Yazhi.
¡° Discovering that there was a small pit that was not very deep on the ground below where the fist-sized emerald stone flowers were placed, as if it had been dug out deliberately, Qin Yazhi couldn¡¯t help but have some guesses in her mind.
"Even if it is jadeite, it can't have the weight and density you said, right?" Qin Yazhi asked Chen Hongtao curiously, looking at the gap between the two opposite thick leaves of the jadeite stone flower.
?The Lithops intertwined with green and white jade light spots, the whole body is full of luster, which is both transparent and gentle.
"Of course it is not an ordinary jade, and it can bloom." As Chen Hongtao laughed, the Lithops placed on the ground had already changed.
With several treasures on the surrounding ground glowing with aura, a mist-like aura slowly emanated from the Lithops, gradually covering the several treasures.
The water mist was about to spread to where Chen Hongtao and Qin Yazhi were, but it gradually stagnated. Immediately, he slowly calmed down a little, as if he was affected by a breath.
I saw a few treasures covered in black aura. As if dehydrated, brilliance slowly seeped out of the aura, and was assimilated by the black aura. Qin Yazhi's eyes couldn't help but widen a little.
The treasures left on the ground now, covered in the aura of Lithops, include jade buttons, small stone gourds, black knives, face masks, silver scrolls, skull bracelets, and something that looks like a lychee with a small section of dead branch.
But apart from the face-changing mask and the thing that looks like a lychee, there are only other treasures left. It's like being corroded by withering. While the brilliance is being extracted, the spiritual senses brought to people are also not as good as before.
"Is there really no problem? What's going on?" Qin Yazhi quickly turned to look at Chen Hongtao and asked.
Chen Hongtao's expression revealed a little sigh: "Although this jade stone flower is scary, it is not very spiritual. It is slowly withering those few treasures. In fact, this is not very obvious. If you put the plant into the aura, it will immediately appear to the naked eye. You can see the change of withering.¡±
From the time when the jade stone flower had a faint black aura to now, it has no momentum. The black mist gives people the feeling that it is like a little girl who wants to do bad things secretly.
"Hey~~~" Chen Hongtao exhaled and shouted. Under Qin Yazhi's horrified gaze, Black Mist Qiyun shrank and was frightened back by the shout.
After a while, as the entire underground training ground became quiet, the aura of black mist sneaked up. Cover several treasures.
"It seems to be afraid of your shout and was startled. How did you get this magical thing?" Qin Yazhi asked Chen Hongtao in a low voice while staring at Lithops, as if she was afraid of disturbing the black mist aura. generally.
"Magical? Even though it is timid, it is very scary. As far as I know, this thing comes from the West Gorge of the Grand Canyon in the United States. It contains a very ancient and mysterious Indian culture. The records that can be traced back are A long time ago, an Indian tribe called Mata discovered it in the Grand Canyon of Colorado. Since then, it has become a sacred object of the great wizard of the Mata tribe, with the mysterious power to control death." Chen Hongtao looked like he had found a treasure. appearance.
"Do you mean that the Indian Mata tribe is not its real owner, and that it may have another origin?" Qin Yazhi said softly.
"The total area of ??the Grand Canyon is more than 1,100 square kilometers. Five million years ago, the rushing Colorado River washed it into a huge canyon. When the water volume of the river gradually decreased, the rocks there were all exposed to wind and sun. After water erosion and natural weathering, the exposed rocks in the depths of the canyon can be traced back to 500 million years ago. Due to the different weathering speeds of rock formations in different periods, the canyon walls show various shapes, which is a modern understanding of the world. A scientific speculation on the canyon landform." Chen Hongtao said to Qin Yazhi playfully.
"There should be some scientific basis for this statement and time tracing, but don't say it is 500 million years. Even if it is a hundred years, there will be a lot of changes. In such a long torrent of time, no one can accurately verify what happened.What's going on! "Qin Yazhi said with a sigh.
"Not to mention that there is a large desert landscape close to the Grand Canyon. Even in the natural environment of the Grand Canyon, it is not surprising that some weird ores appear. The true origin of this jadeite Lithops is currently difficult to verify, but it is true Very scary!" Chen Hongtao took a deep breath and said.
"Is it because it can wither these treasures? You said before that it is a sacred object of the great wizard of the Marta tribe and has the mysterious power to control death. Is this true?" Qin Yazhi looked much more cautious.
"If withering is called death, it is indeed true. When I got it, I didn't pay too much attention to it. Over the years, I was forced to have no choice by the state of Jinlan and the others, so I began to gradually try to find it. The mysterious secrets of these terrible things." Chen Hongtao took a deep breath with a heavy look on his face.
"Since it is a sacred object of the Marta tribe, how did you get it?" Qin Yazhi had some guesses.
Chen Hongtao sighed with a smile and shook his head: "It's not what you think, Aunt Qin. This Lithops is indeed stained with a lot of blood. It was also snatched from the Mata tribe, but it has nothing to do with me. I got it because of profit." The exchange is basically effortless. If my guess is correct, Grace's mother should have died under this Lithops."
"Is it because of the black mist aura?" Qin Yazhi glanced at the oilcloth on her knees.
"Not only that, the flowers it blooms can also wither human flesh and blood, and living things are absolutely untouchable. If there is no such thing that looks like an oilcloth wrapping, and the Lithops is placed in a place where the natural environment is fresh and the breath of life is strong, it will While absorbing the life aura in the environment, it will grow very well. In less than two days, the surrounding plants and animals will be deprived of their life aura and wither. If it is planted in fertile soil, the soil will also It will turn into desert very quickly." Chen Hongtao's words made Qin Yazhi feel nervous.
"When you got this Lithops, was it so dangerous?" You found that the range of the mist-like aura emitting from the Lithops was not very large, and it seemed to be withering a few treasures in a targeted manner, which did not affect your cultivation. Qin Yazhi seemed a little confused about what kind of damage the field environment had caused.
"When I first got this thing, it wasn't like this. There wasn't much danger if I handled it properly. However, after I accidentally discovered that it had withered and absorbed the treasure's spirituality, the situation was different. The water mist at that time was white. , and it's fine when it's not blooming. Even if you reach out and touch the aura, it won't have any impact. But look at it now, the aura it emits has begun to turn black. If a flesh and blood body touches it, That¡¯s incredible!¡± Chen Hongtao smiled and pointed at the aura wrapping those treasures.
"You put away the treasures like sword beads before, were you afraid that this thing would wither the spirituality of those treasures?" Just looking at the brilliance of those treasures, assimilated by the black mist aura, Qin Yazhi already understood what Chen Hongtao had said before action.
"Although this kind of black mist is silent, it does great spiritual harm to the treasure. It is really all-pervasive!" Chen Hongtao watched the black mist aura penetrate into the nine skull bones of the silver scroll and the skull bracelet. Instead of feeling distressed, his face Instead, he showed an expectant smile.
Even the fine starlight sand spots reflected by the mysterious little stone gourd in the black mist have a dim appearance, as if it is difficult to resist the erosion of the withered aura.
At this time, Qin Yazhi also understood the reason why Chen Hongtao said that these treasures are also divided into strengths and weaknesses.
Among the treasures placed on the ground, only the transfiguration mask and the thing that looked like a lychee were not invaded by the black mist of Lithops. This can explain some problems.
"Is that thing a fruit?" Qin Yazhi asked looking at the thing similar to a lychee.
To Qin Yazhi's surprise, Chen Hongtao shook his head in ignorance: "I don't know too well. This thing was previously regarded as a plant fossil and was stored in the small fossil sample library of the Berson Exhibition Hall. It looks round. It's round like a lychee, with a branch attached, but I'm sure it's definitely not a fossil. The thing's outer skin is extremely tough, and it has an aura of vicissitudes of life. Holding it in your hand makes you feel refreshed and safe."
Within an hour, under the observation of Chen Hongtao and Qin Yazhi, the brilliance of the small jade button that was corroded by the black mist emitted by the jade stone flower disappeared first, completely losing its spirituality.
Following closely is the skull bracelet. Visible to the naked eye, the nine small skull bones no longer have that round and pure feeling. Instead, bone patterns appear on the bones, as if they have been corroded by the years. Same as drying up.
"Hong Tao, the sacred power contained in that skull bracelet seems to have been withered and assimilated by the black mist. I didn't expect such a strange treasure to lose its spirituality silently!" Qin Yazhi swallowed her saliva and whispered.
"I have tried many times before, but each time it didn't last long. I used to be afraid that these treasures would have spiritual struggles, but later I discovered that the process of the jade stone flower secretly withering and assimilating these treasures was very quiet. "While Chen Hongtao was laughing quietly, a small black flower quickly began to bloom in the gap between the two opposite thick leaves of the jadeite Lithops.
