Hua Qian mustered up his courage and walked behind the undying. Being stared at by the green eyes of the undying, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
Suddenly, Hua Qian seemed to have discovered something.
He suddenly laughed out loud: "This guy's back is locked by iron chains, no wonder he can't move!"
Su Chen and the other two also walked up to take a look.
Sure enough, there were a lot of chains wrapped around the back of the Undying. At the tip of the chains, there were barbs that directly pierced into the Undying's body, firmly locking it in place.
The chains were so tight that the undying couldn't move at all, not even struggling.
It had an undying body, but it couldn't move at all. Wasn't this just a live target!
"Who told you to scare me, damn thing!"
Xiao Yu's courage grew. He actually stepped forward and kicked the undying a few times, cursing and shouting.
Su Chen shook his head and said: "Since you can't move, just ignore him."
The undying didn't even have a soul. Even if they tried their best to break his body, they wouldn't get any benefits. Moreover, judging from the performance just now, even if Su Chen and the other three attacked the undying together, it would be difficult to break his defense. There was no need to waste energy on him.
If the chains were broken and the undying regained his freedom, they would be courting death.
Bypassing the undying, Su Chen walked to the cage surrounded by chains and looked inside through the gaps of the chains.
He saw that the cage was pitch black, nothing could be seen clearly, and no aura fluctuations could be sensed.
Su Chen looked for a while and gave up. He turned to look at Zhou Yi: "Did you find anything?"
Zhou Yi's eyes were wide open. She carefully stared at the cage for a long time. Suddenly, she trembled and took a few steps back, stammering: "There … there seems to be … a skeleton … locked inside."
"Skeleton?"
"I'm afraid that the person locked inside is already dead."
Zhou Yi shook her head, swallowed her saliva and said, "It's not dead. When I saw it, it also turned its head to look at me."
"He must have become an Undead after dying. It is just a skeleton. There is nothing to be afraid of. However, these chains look quite sturdy. I don't think we will be able to open them. Let's take a detour and enter the hall to see if there are any other exits," Hua Qian said.
Su Chen nodded. He also had a bad feeling about the thing in the cage. It was best not to offend it.
The four of them walked along the edge of the hall, bypassing the dragon-shaped stone pillars and slowly making their way inside the hall.
Their journey was smooth, and without any mishaps, they soon arrived at the back of the cage.
But there was no path ahead.
There was only one wall with a mottled mural carved on it.
What was drawn on the mural could no longer be seen clearly. Only the silhouettes of the four dragons could be vaguely seen.
"Four dragons … Four dragon-shaped stone pillars. Could it be that these stone pillars were transformed from true dragons?"
"If that's the case, then the skeleton locked inside must have been an extraordinary person when he was alive. Otherwise, there would be no need for such a grand display."
"Let's search around. There might be some good stuff left behind here."
Su Chen said as he searched the surrounding rock walls.
He could vaguely feel that there was an ancient fluctuation of spiritual energy in the rock walls. However, he could not pinpoint its exact location. He could only search around.
He took out the Heaven-Destroying Sword and carefully cut at the exposed rock wall below the mural.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword was a Divine Weapon and was extremely sharp. It easily cut a mark on the rock wall.
A crystal clear gem the size of a fingernail fell from the rock wall.
Everyone immediately went forward to take a look.
"Oh my god, is this a Holy Spirit Stone?"
Hua Qian seemed to recognize the origin of the gem and exclaimed in shock.
Zhou Yi and Xiao Yu were both shocked. They looked at the gem with covetous eyes.
Su Chen picked up the sparkling gem and asked, "What is a Holy Spirit Stone?"
Hua Qian explained, "A Holy Spirit Stone is also a type of Spiritual Stone. However, it is not the ordinary Spiritual Stone that we see now. It is a supreme-grade Spiritual Stone that can only be excavated from the Spiritual Mountain. Now that the Holy Spirit Stone has been mined out, there are not many Holy Spirit Stones left in the market. The market price of one Holy Spirit Stone is equivalent to 100,000 Spiritual Stones."
One Holy Spirit Stone was equivalent to Su Chen's annual salary?
"Not only that."
Hua Qian took a deep breath and said, "Because the Holy Spirit Stone is stable, even after its spiritual energy is absorbed, the Holy Spirit Stone itself will not shatter into powder like normal Spiritual Stones. It can still store spiritual energy and even souls. In the past, the Spirit Tribe collected large amounts of Holy Spirit Stones that had been depleted of spiritual energy to store spiritual objects with unstable properties. It is very likely that there are spiritual objects stored in this Holy Spirit Stone."
"What are spiritual objects?" Su Chen asked again.
"Hmm … How should I put it? Spiritual objects refer to some rare spirit treasures, which are of a higher level than heavenly materials and earthly treasures. There are many types of Spiritual objects. Some Spiritual objects can be used directly like pills. Some Spiritual objects have the characteristics of magic treasures. They don't need to be refined and can be used as weapons or armor. Some Spiritual objects contain life and can grow. They can even gain intelligence and cultivate on their own. As for the exact origin of Spiritual objects, no one can say for sure. It seems that before the Immortal Realm closed, there would often be some things that fell from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world. Those things that fell from the Immortal Realm were Spiritual objects.
“
Spiritual Objects from the Immortal Realm? Interesting.
Su Chen looked at the Holy Spirit Stone in his hand and muttered, "Will there be Spiritual Objects in this Holy Spirit Stone?"
"Holy Son, why don't you open it and take a look?"
"That's right. Although a Holy Spirit Stone is worth a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, if it is sold as a Spiritual Stone, its value is fixed. However, if there is a Spiritual Object inside, its value will not be as simple as a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones."
Hua Qian nodded and said, "Although a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones is not a small amount, it is worth a gamble. As long as there is a Spiritual Object inside, no matter what kind of Spiritual Object it is, it will definitely be worth more than a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones. The founder of our Soul Hall once obtained a Spiritual Object inside a Holy Spirit Stone. With the help of the Spiritual Object, he became a Divine Soul Master."
Su Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure you want to gamble?
If we sell this Holy Spirit Stone, each of us will get twenty-five thousand Spiritual Stones. However, if we break it and there is no Spiritual Object inside, it will be worthless. "
"Holy Son, don't worry and open it. Twenty-five thousand Spiritual Stones will not make you rich, but the opportunity to encounter a Holy Spirit Stone is something that can only be found by chance." Hua Qian swallowed his saliva and said.
Xiao Yu also said with a burning gaze, "Let's gamble. If there is a Spiritual Object inside, we will be rich."
Zhou Yi also rubbed her small hands and said excitedly, "Open it, open it. This is so exciting!"
Su Chen was helpless.
A bunch of gambling dogs.
