Chapter 82 Red Hair
These stone tools may seem ordinary, but under Ye Fanyuan's divine eyes, they present a strange brilliance, and each one is unique.
"Stones from the Taichu Forbidden Zone!" Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaimed, his heart filled with shock. He didn't expect that these seemingly insignificant stones would contain such a deep Taichu aura.
The big black dog heard this, and green light flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen some treasure. He lay there shamelessly, holding down a pile of stone tools with his big paws, as if he was afraid that they would run away.
Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh at its appearance. He threatened, "Don't get in the way here. I've encountered a Stone King in the City of Gods, and there might be one here as well. If something weird is found, you'll be the first to be in trouble."
The big black dog snorted nonchalantly and said, "What's the big deal about the king among stones? I've even seen the king among the ancient races."
Tu Fei couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced when he heard this, and sneered, "What are you bragging about!"
"What's this? There is a daughter of the emperor!" Ye Fan's heart moved, but he did not speak, just looked at Zixia deeply. He knew that some things should not be said easily.
Zixia squatted quietly on the ground, observing the dozens of stone tools attentively. Her jade hand gently touched, and the source of heaven patterns crisscrossed at her fingertips, and a stone tool suddenly flashed. However, the light was only a short-lived appearance, and then quickly dimmed. Zixia frowned and said softly: "Strange, there was something here originally, but it disappeared, and only a little bit is left. Ye Fan, take a look." As she said, she gently threw the stone tool to Ye Fan.
Zhang Wuye, Wang Shu and Erlangzi stood aside, their faces full of nervousness and anticipation. They finally had the chance to see the true appearance of the treasure left by their ancestors.
At this moment, the Black Emperor suddenly jumped up and caught the stone tool flying in the air, shouting, "The divine light just now flashed, even if there is only a little bit left, it is still a good thing!" After that, it slapped it down with its claws without any hesitation, and had no patience to cut the stone carefully.
Seeing this, Tu Fei grimaced in pain. He glared at Hei Huang and threatened loudly, "Take it easy. If there is a divine object in there and it is damaged, I will throw you into the Taichu Ancient Mine!"
Hearing this, Hei Huang quickly began to scrape the gravel, looking for the so-called divine object. Suddenly, a blazing divine light shot out from the gravel, dazzling and dazzling, and a sacred breath came to his face. It turned out that they found a divine source bean.
Zixia looked at the Divine Source Bean in her hand, frowned, and asked in confusion: "This Divine Source was originally as big as a human head, why is there only this little bit left?"
Ye Fan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Pang Bo laughed and said, "Fairy, could it be that you saw it wrong? Or something stole it and ate it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zixia's heart moved, and she thought to herself, "Red-haired monster! How could I forget this? I don't know what will happen in my later years..."
At the moment when Zixia was lost in thought, the big black dog suddenly froze, and it pulled out a handful of red hair from the gravel. The red hair was extremely charming, as if it had been stained with blood, exuding a miserable atmosphere that was creepy.
Seeing this, Master Zhang Wu was shocked. He stepped back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. His face turned pale instantly. Wang Shu and Erlangzi hurried forward, supported him on the left and right, and asked nervously, "Master Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Fan also interrupted his thinking, walked forward, supported Uncle Zhang Wu, and asked with concern: "Old man, are you feeling unwell?" At the same time, he also noticed the tuft of red hair in the big black dog's paw, and frowned.
"How could there be such a thing in this stone?" he wondered.
During these days in the stone shop, Ye Fan had also heard some legends about the ancient mine. It is said that there are source gods, source ghosts, and source demons in the ancient mine, and they occasionally leave traces in the precious stones. Could it be that this red hair is the trace left by the legendary source demon?
Pangbo also came over at this time. After seeing the red-haired man, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, my bad mouth! Could it be that I was right?"
Uncle Zhang Wu's lips trembled and his face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the things left by our ancestors and compare them with this red-haired guy." After that, he walked tremblingly into the inner room with the support of Wang Shu and Erlangzi.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense. Everyone stared at the tuft of red hair, their hearts filled with anxiety and doubt.
After a long wait, Uncle Zhang Wu finally walked out slowly from the inner room, holding an old jade box in his hand. The jade box was dirty and dull, but it exuded a sense of the weight of time.
Tu Fei looked at this inconspicuous jade box, his face full of confusion: "What is this?"
Master Zhang Wu looked solemn and dignified. He slowly opened the jade box, revealing a few tufts of red hair inside. Those hairs were weird and creepy, as if they were stained with dirty blood, exuding an indescribable weird aura.
"These..." Tu Fei widened his eyes and looked at Master Zhang Wu in confusion.
"This is the only thing left behind on the night my ancestor Yuan Tianshi disappeared." Uncle Zhang Wu's voice trembled slightly, as if he was recalling that horrible and mysterious past.
Ye Fan knew a little about Yuan Tianshi's past, and knew that he had encountered many ominous things in his later years and could see many strange scenes that others could not perceive. At this moment, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and seemed to feel that the ominous breath was approaching.
The big black dog's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he finally said, "Master Yuan Tianshi's later years are so ominous..."
At the same time, Ye Fan squatted down and began to try to restore the stone tool. He carefully pieced together the fragments, and gradually, a complete stone tool appeared in front of everyone. He was surprised to find that the stone was hollow, and the source of the god should be as big as a human head as Zixia judged.
"Does this really exist? " Pangbo's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief and surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room seemed to be instantly enveloped by a cold atmosphere. A strong ominous atmosphere spread out, as if an invisible monster was laughing maliciously in the dark. Outside the stone archway, the originally calm wind suddenly became strange, and there seemed to be wisps of red hair in the wind.
And those red hairs, as if pulled by a terrible force, fell towards Zixia and Ye Fan.
This scene was so weird that even the usually fearless big black dog opened its eyes wide and looked around vigilantly.
"No way, they found you so soon?!" Tu Fei exclaimed, his face full of fear.
Uncle Zhang Wu was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "The fate of our ancestors... Is that kind of disaster going to happen again?"
Just as everyone was terrified, Ye Fan's body suddenly blasted with a dazzling divine light. He seemed to have turned into an eternal immortal furnace, his whole body was extremely hot, his blood was like the sea, like a real dragon awakening.
The red hairs that were originally floating towards Ye Fan, after coming into contact with his divine light, instantly turned into flying ash and scattered on the ground. "You feel that breath, right? What a waste! It will be so much fun to use it to trick people in the future." Zixia took out a crystal clear jade bottle from her sleeve, she gently opened her red lips, silently recited the spell, and sealed the red hairs that were floating towards her into the jade bottle one by one. Just now, she also felt that inexplicable force trying to invade her body, but fortunately her innate Taoist physique was extremely special, and she successfully repelled that force from her body.
Everyone was shocked and thought: "What a vicious woman!" Even Heihuang couldn't help but tuck his tail between his legs!
Then Ye Fan said: "I really don't believe it. Let's see what happens in the future!" Then, he began to cut the stone tools in Zhang Wuye's house one by one without hesitation.
Everyone was shocked, but they also frowned. There were definitely rare treasures inside, but the essence had disappeared.
The big black dog's eyes widened, and then he howled miserably, "Is there any justice? I want to bite someone!"
"It's still that thing, with some red hair left." Ye Fan looked solemn.
Zixia was as calm as ever. She collected the red hairs in an orderly manner, as if she was doing something extremely ordinary.
At this time, Master Zhang Wu suddenly spoke, with a hint of expectation in his voice: "Didn't you cut out the Human Yuan Fruit last time? Maybe there are some left, and not all of them were destroyed."
The big black dog heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He urged Ye Fan, "Cut it open quickly, cut it all open! I have a hunch that there is a high possibility that some extremely important divine object will be missed, maybe it is an ancient divine medicine!"
At the urging of the big black dog, Ye Fan continued to work and cut four stone tools in succession. However, the results were disappointing. The stone cores were either hollow or petrified. The rare treasures that should have existed were gone at this moment.
When the fifth stone tool was slowly cut open, a chilly breath suddenly rushed out from a tiny gap. This breath was even colder and more piercing than the icy world outside the window, making people's hearts palpitate.
"I've cut out something good. This time it's finally not empty anymore!" Tu Fei exclaimed in surprise.
The big black dog's eyes sparkled, and its body leaned forward slightly, as if it had smelled something unusual. It quickly pounced forward, snatched the stone tool it had just cut, and then rushed out. Pangbo and Tu Fei wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"Don't chase it, there's nothing good in there." Zixia smiled and shook her head, "This black guy is always like this, he wants to grab everything he sees, without even checking what it is."
Ye Fan was grinning evilly, as if he had expected this scene.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from a distance, the sound was like someone stepped on the tail, it was creepy. Several people quickly walked outside, only to see the big black dog lying on the snow, foaming at the mouth, with all the hair standing up, like a frightened hedgehog.
"You two are cheating me!" The big black dog's face turned pale and he kept vomiting, with bile almost splashing onto everyone.
Erlangzi carefully fiddled with the broken stone, and suddenly, a skull rolled out. Everyone stepped back in fear, except the big black dog, who was still lying on the snow, retching and almost vomiting. Just now, it had broken the stone with one bite and almost swallowed the skull.
"Okay, okay, just continue vomiting here! We have to go back!" Tu Fei said sarcastically with a hint of joking.
"Go ahead and spit it out. You'll get used to it." Pangbo also added another blow.
Everyone around couldn't help laughing, even Uncle Zhang Wu shook his head helplessly. The big black dog lay on the snow, still retching.
At this time, Ye Fan began to cut the sixth stone tool. As the stone tool was slowly cut, a faint fragrance spread out, and a little liquid flowed out.
"It should be a good thing this time, right?" Tu Fei asked uncertainly.
"Bring the jade!" Ye Fan ordered. Zixia handed him a crystal clear white jade bottle, which, after being refined, was an excellent container for preserving rare treasures.
Ye Fan carefully opened the stone tool and saw a pool of clear liquid in the center, emitting a faint fragrance, which made people curious about what it was.
"Could this be some kind of magical fruit that has melted?" Pang Bo guessed.
Ye Fan collected the liquid into the jade and observed it carefully, but he could not see anything. He frowned and said, "Looking at the shape of the puddle in the center of the stone, it does look like a fruit. Now that it has become liquid, I wonder how much medicinal properties it still has."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the last stone tool. Ye Fan tapped it gently and cut it slowly. Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the stone tool, illuminating the entire snow.
"There's something!" everyone exclaimed.
In the center of the stone tool, there lay a walnut-sized purple stone gall quietly, emitting a faint breath of life.
"What the hell is this thing? Why does it look like a gall bladder?" Tu Fei asked curiously.
"This...could it really be the organ of some ancient creature?" Pangbo speculated as he moved closer.
At this time, the big black dog just came back from strolling outside the house. He saw the purple stone gall the size of a walnut at a glance, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He took two steps at a time, approached, circled around the stone gall, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Oh, I almost vomited my dog gall. What you eat replenishes what you need. This treasure is just right for me to replenish it!"
When Pangbo heard this, he was immediately amused and joked: "What's the use of this stone gall? Just give it to this greedy dead dog. Anyway, you have thick skin and flesh, it's hard to be poisoned to death."
When the big black dog heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and stared at Pangbo with wide eyes: "You demon, have you been possessed by another spirit? How can you be so wicked! Ye Fan, quickly suppress him, before he brings disaster to the world!"
Ye Fan didn't care. He carefully took the purple stone gall in his hand and felt that it exuded a warm luster. He couldn't help but feel excited. However, he didn't take the stone gall for himself, but handed it to Zixia directly, saying: "Zixia, this stone gall should be of great use to you, please accept it."
Zixia looked at the stone gall in her hand, shook her head gently, and declined: "Ye Fan, this stone gall is indeed a rare treasure for the source master. But at this moment, you need it more than I do. You should keep it for yourself. If there is a chance, find a golden stone gall for me."
