"You are really lucky!" Jin Tianwei said with some envy.
"I searched the area for hundreds of miles carefully and dug almost three feet into the ground, but I couldn't find any trace of other Red Flame Fruits." Ma Xiaoyao said regretfully.
"The Red Flame Fruit is a sacred object of heaven and earth. If you can find one, you are already blessed with great luck. You actually want a second one? You are so infatuated!" Jin Tianwei's face twitched a few times.
"The emperor taught you that I am too infatuated." Ma Xiaoyao looked like he had been taught the lesson.
"What are you doing in the Ghost Forest?" Jin Tianwei continued to ask.
"Oh, I came to the Ghost Forest to look for a herb."
"What herbs?"
"Thousand-leaf grass is used to refine healing elixirs."
"Are you hurt?"
"Yes, something went wrong while I was practicing, and my body suffered some hidden injuries. I need to take good care of it."
…
The two of them answered questions and answered questions, and they cooperated very well.
"Who are they?" Jin Tianwei glanced at Ouyang Zilan and others.
"Friends, they also need Thousand Leaf Grass, so we came together and looked after each other on the way." Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise from ahead.
Jin Tianwei turned his head in surprise and saw a group of people forcibly breaking open the outer wall of the stone tower, and then rushing in. Jin Tianwei felt anxious and rushed over quickly. The treasures in the stone tower cannot be reached by others first!
"Finally gone!" Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Tianwei's aggressive questioning just now put a lot of pressure on Ma Xiaoyao.
"Those people have broken into the stone tower, and there is no danger." Ouyang Zilan said: "Let's go in quickly. If we go in too late, the treasure will be robbed!"
"Walk!"
Ma Xiaoyao made a quick decision and led everyone towards the stone tower. The closer they got to the stone tower, the more shocking it felt to Ma Xiaoyao. The sky was already bright at this moment, and under the sunlight, the stone tower emitted a bright light like glass.
It looks dreamlike and beautiful.
The person who built this stone tower is definitely not an ordinary person!
A fire burned out a majestic stone tower, which is really unexpected!
After entering the stone tower, Ma Xiaoyao and others were faced with a dilemma. Should they go up? Or down? Because the stone tower only revealed half of the body, the upper half of the body was exposed in the air, and the lower half of the body was buried deep underground. At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao and others
The person is in the middle of the stone tower.
"The most important treasure must be placed on the top floor of the stone tower. Let's go up." Ouyang Zilan suggested.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No! I think it's safer to go down there."
"Why?" Ouyang Zilan didn't understand.
"Look." Ma Xiaoyao pointed to the front: "Most people are heading up. There are so many people, and the competition will be fierce. We are not strong. If we participate rashly, we will definitely cause murder...
There will be fewer people going downstairs, and the competition will be lighter. As long as we are cautious, we should be able to protect ourselves."
"I agree with Mr. Ma's point of view." Hu Yandong nodded.
"I also agree with Mr. Ma's point of view." Ouyang Wuwei also nodded.
"But...but the most important treasure is up there..." Ouyang Zilan was a little unwilling: "It would be such a pity to give up like this!"
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Why do you think all the good treasures are up there? What if it's not the case?"
"Look at everyone running up there..."
"Don't look at others, follow your own heart."
"But……"
"The baby is good, but our lives are better! As I said, there are many people up there, and the competition will definitely be fierce. If we rush up with the strength of just a few of us, we will only become victims of others' swords."
"...Okay, if you say you want to go downstairs, go downstairs. I'll listen to you."
In this way, Ma Xiaoyao led Ouyang Zilan and others to the bottom of the stone tower.
There is a stone staircase on each floor. Probably because it has been closed for too long, the stairs are covered with dust. If you step on them, you will leave a deep footprint. In addition to the stairs, there are also stone steps on the top of each floor.
Inlaid with a fist-sized luminous pearl, the light emitted by the luminous pearl illuminates the entire space exceptionally brightly.
"What a big luminous pearl. If this is put up for auction, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price." Ouyang Zilan's eyes were a little blurry.
Ma Xiaoyao looked up, then shook his head: "Two-thirds of the body of the Night Pearl is embedded in the cracks of the stone. If I read it correctly, molten iron is also smeared in the gaps around the Night Pearl, and it is tightly adhered to the stone.
Together, if you dig it forcefully, the Luminous Pearl will definitely break into pieces."
"So...we can't get this luminous pearl?" Ouyang Zilan's face was full of disappointment.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It is indeed difficult to get."
"Alas... What a pity for such a beautiful luminous pearl... Huh? There are words on the wall over there!" Ouyang Zilan suddenly pointed to the east and shouted.
Ma Xiaoyao looked in the direction pointed by Ouyang Zilan, and sure enough he saw three words carved on the wall opposite, which were tadpole inscriptions from ancient times: "Senior Hu Yan, please trouble you!" Among the few people, only Hu Yandong was
The tadpole essay of knowledge.
Hu Yandong took a few steps forward, stared at the three words on the wall for a while, and then read: "Twenty-nine... this is a number..."
"Twenty-nine? What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"I think it's the number of the stone tower's floors..." Ouyang Wuwei said: "Our location should be the twenty-ninth floor of the stone tower."
"Well, that's probably what it means." Hu Yandong nodded.
"This is easy to verify. Just go to the next floor and take a look. If there are numbers on the next floor and it is twenty-eight, then my grandpa is right." Ouyang Zilan is quite smart.
"Don't rush down yet." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Let's search this floor carefully to see if there are any treasures." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao raised his feet and started searching the stone tower.
Ouyang Zilan and others were not idle either. They spread out and wandered around the stone tower. The dark corners were the places they paid special attention to.
More than ten minutes later, several people met.
"How about it?"
"Nothing."
"I didn't find anything either..."
"It was probably looted by the people in front."
"Since there is nothing, let's go to the next floor."
…
Several people followed the stairs to the next floor.
"Look, there are also words on the east wall."
"Twenty-eight... really twenty-eight..."
"My grandfather was really right."
"So... there are more than twenty floors below? It's incredible... Who built such a stone tower? What is the purpose?"
"It's so empty here and there's nothing. I guess I was overtaken by people in front of me."
"Let's go down there and speed up."
…
Several people went down three floors in one go. When they arrived on the twenty-fifth floor, they saw a group of people fighting inside, and the scene was very heated.
"What's going on? Why did they start fighting?"
"Look... there is a long box in the middle of the crowd... What is inside the box is... ginseng? It's so big... it's at least a thousand years old... maybe even longer..."
"No wonder they started fighting, it turns out they were fighting over this ginseng plant."
"There are many experts inside, and we can't get involved at all. Let's go to the next level."
"It's a pity that there is a ginseng plant..."
…
