Yang Ji was shocked when he saw clearly what was wrapped around Xiao Ji's tail.
"This, what is this..."
Yang Ji's heart trembled violently. It was a dark green, decayed wooden box that was more than a foot long. The surface was stained and riddled with holes, as if it had been buried deep underground and forgotten for countless centuries.
Even though it was so long, the box was still tight.
Ordinary wood would rot in just a few years if soaked in such poisonous water swamps. However, although this box looks extremely rotten, it has no shape and has not been deformed at all.
When Xiao Ji wrapped it around its tail and dragged it out of the swamp and poisonous pond, it also gave people a very hard feeling.
However, no matter how hard the box is, it cannot withstand the wear and tear of time. Through the holes on the surface of the wooden box, Yang Ji could see clearly what was inside.
——That is a human "palm"!
Yang Ji had never seen such a "palm" before. The muscles on the palm had long since withered and rotted away, leaving only the dead bones of the palm, slightly stretched out, lying there motionless.
Everyone who sees this palm can feel the endless terrifying power it contained during its lifetime.
Although it has been extinguished for countless centuries, the power within it has not been extinguished. It seems that it can be resurrected at any time, and it can be clenched tightly as before when it was alive, and then it will burst out with earth-shattering, ghostly wails and howling power!
"His!"
Yang Ji took a deep breath and suddenly came back to his senses. His face turned pale. In just a moment, he felt that his whole soul was being sucked in, and he almost couldn't look away.
"Xiao Ji, what on earth is going on?"
Yang Ji said seriously.
Xiao Ji shook his head, looking like he didn't know.
Yang Ji frowned and then said, "Is it just for this box that you've been there for so long?"
Xiao Ji nodded.
It dragged the box and moved to Yang Ji with some difficulty, then let go of its tail, swam to the side and collapsed on the ground. The crown snake is very powerful, no less than any beast.
However, after going back and forth like this, "Xiao Ji" seemed very tired.
Yang Ji stood there silently, with rays of thought flashing in his eyes.
There is such a thing buried in the Poison Pond just a stone's throw away from Tieguan Mountain. I'm afraid even the elders in the mountain don't know about it. Xiao Ji said nothing until Zhao Hua, Lin Qingyan and the others left. Then he slowly swam into the Poison Pond.
, dragged out this thing.
Obviously, Xiao Ji had discovered it before. The reason why he didn't show up was because he wanted to dedicate this thing to himself alone.
When it comes to loyalty, "Xiao Ji" really has nothing to say. Yang Ji thought about it and looked at "Xiao Ji" aside, with a flash of feeling in his eyes.
Come to think of it, when I discovered "Xiao Ji" in the mountains and forests outside Jin'an City, that was when my destiny changed. Unknowingly, it turned out that the fate of the two people had been entangled together.
If it weren't for "Xiao Ji", he might not have saved "Lu Ling". As the daughter of Lu Ling's city lord, under normal circumstances, even if he met her face to face in the mountains and forests, there would be no intersection.
"Xiao Ji, thank you."
Yang Ji walked over and touched its head. No matter what it was, at least it was good for him, so Yang Ji was moved.
Xiao Ji wagged his tail and made a comfortable sound.
Looking at the box not far away, Yang Ji fell into deep thought again. This box was filled with mist, and there was no doubt that it contained many "secrets".
After a long time, even if this palm withered, it still gave people such a powerful feeling. One can imagine how powerful it was in life. But how could such a powerful person be removed from his palm, put in a box, and thrown away?
In this poisonous pool?
If this is the case, then how powerful and arrogant should the person who cut off that palm be?
Yang Ji's heart was filled with thoughts. Suddenly, when his eyes passed over the lifeless Poison Pond, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Yang Ji suddenly remembered something.
"Xiao Ji, where did you find this box? Did you find it in the lair of the poisonous golden toad?"
Yang Ji suddenly turned around and said, his heart pounding.
There is such a weird wooden box and such a mysterious and heavy hand very close to me. Xiaoji can find it. So as the owner of this place, the poisonous golden toad has been entrenched for nearly a hundred years. There is no reason why he can't find it.
?
If this wooden box belongs to the poisonous golden toad, wouldn't that mean——
"Is the power of the poisonous golden toad related to this palm?"
When this thought crossed his mind, Yang Ji's heart immediately started pounding. Standing up, Yang Ji walked to the side of the rotten wooden box and squatted down.
Looking at the ingenious, green-mottled wooden box in front of him, countless thoughts flashed through Yang Ji's mind. He has always had a deep obsession with powerful power.
Those who "eat with bells and cauldrons" will not feel the importance of one meal. Only those who are ragged, hungry and cold will feel the difficulty of eating three meals a day.
Yang Ji was in embarrassment all the way, but if he had strong power, Yang Ji could investigate the cause of his father's death. Why should he be afraid of Yang Xuanlan, and be suppressed by the likes of "Xie Lou" and "Luo Yunzi" in the Iron Crown Sect?
"His!"
Yang Ji took a deep breath, stretched out his palm, and felt the cold and slippery feel of the wooden box. He paused briefly before opening the wooden box with a click.
A rotten smell came to his face, Yang Ji fanned himself, and only looked over after the smell dissipated.
Although the Poison Pond was dirty, smelly, and heavy with mud, the inside of the wooden box was unexpectedly clean, with no trace of mud or black water. It was also increasingly dry, and it seemed that no moisture could enter.
It's the same in this wooden box.
"What a long hand!"
Yang Ji quietly looked at the palm at the bottom of the box, sighing in his heart.
He hadn't noticed it before, but after the wooden box was completely opened and the whole picture was seen, Yang Ji realized that the bones of this palm were extraordinarily huge, much longer than his own, with several extra phalanges.
It is impossible for a normal human being to have such a long palm. Moreover, the phalanges of this palm are obviously harder and thicker than that of a "warrior" like himself.
"What on earth is this? Is it not a human being, or is it a giant?"
Yang Ji felt more and more surprised.
The wooden box and the palm became more and more mysterious, and many stories seemed to have happened around them.
"It's incredible. Even if Zhao Hua, Senior Sister Lin and the others keep swallowing powerful pills and keep exercising their physical bones, they will never be able to achieve such a strong and fatal condition."
Yang Ji was filled with admiration.
In this palm, he saw an ultimate power in "martial arts". This is a "temptation" that no "martial artist" can resist.
"Buzz!"
A cold and hard, steel-like touch came from his fingers. Yang Ji was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had actually held the palm at the bottom of the box.
"How is this going?!"
Yang Ji was shocked. He clearly remembered that he had never stretched out his palm, so why did he suddenly grab it.
"This palm...is weird!"
Yang Ji felt a danger and subconsciously wanted to take back his palm, but it was still too late——
"Buzz!"
The hand bones that originally looked like a ball of dead things suddenly seemed to turn into a black hole, emitting a creepy suction force. Yang Ji's full mental power was sucked away almost instantly.
The "little stone" between Yang Ji's brows trembled rapidly, and a cold mental power quickly leaked down. However, this energy was still halfway through, and before it could be replenished in Yang Ji's mind, it was sucked out again.
Wave after wave... every drop of spiritual energy born in Yang Ji's mind was quickly sucked away. It was like a bottomless pit, hungry and thirsty for countless centuries, and could not be filled.
The mental power that Yang Ji was so proud of could not meet its needs. A severe pain filled his head, as if his whole body was about to split.
"This, this...what's going on?"
Yang Ji's face was full of pain, shock and horror. He tried to pull his palm away, but it seemed to be stuck on it and he couldn't move it away.
It not only sucked away his mental power, but also seemed to suck away all his strength. Yang Ji could not use any strength at all.
"It's over. I'm so greedy. I didn't expect to die here!"
Yang Ji's eyes were filled with despair.
At this moment, he finally understood why this palm was packed in a box, and also understood why the poisonous golden toad did not swallow it in its belly and carry it with it when it went out to hunt for such an important thing.
Stay at the bottom of the pool.
After all, I was too greedy and too thirsty for power, so I didn't notice all kinds of dangers. However, speaking of it, even if it were another "warrior", I'm afraid he would have been "succumbed" in the same way.
No "warrior" can resist this temptation, and this palm has an invisible magic power that tempts people and controls those who see it to touch it and pick it up!
"His!"
An anxious hissing sound came from the side. It must have been "Xiao Ji"'s voice. It must have discovered something strange about itself.
Yang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. Xiao Ji had the ancient crown snake bloodline, so he might not be so severely affected. His original intention was to dedicate this "good thing" to himself, but he didn't expect that it would harm him instead.
"This is God's will!"
Yang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. When death approached, perhaps because of hearing Xiao Ji's voice, Yang Ji's original panic calmed down.
Because of Xiao Ji, I embarked on this path of self-improvement in martial arts and continuous self-improvement. But now, it can be regarded as a kind of fateful reincarnation with a beginning and an end.
"I just have the guts not to do it..."
The last thought flashed through Yang Ji's mind, and then there was a loud bang, and endless darkness surged in. Yang Ji's eyes dimmed, and his entire soul burst out of his body and was sucked in by that power...
