Chapter 1858 Die Together

For a moment, I was so frightened that I was covered in white hair and sweat.

The moment I came back to my senses, I quickly pulled out Xi Lan's demon knife. Without even concentrating on killing intent, I stabbed the giant scorpion in the eye.

Eyes are the weak point of most creatures, and I bet the giant scorpion is no exception. Although it has six eyes, if any one of them is stung, it will definitely be in agony.

There was a pop, and the liquid splashed everywhere.

Xi Lan's demon knife penetrated the giant scorpion's eyeball deeply, and half of the blade was lost. However, there was no wailing, no struggling, and no counterattack.

It was as if the eyeball didn't belong to it at all.

"What's going on?" I was horrified and confused: "Why didn't it react at all? Could it be... could it be pretending to be dead?"

"To be precise, it is not pretending to be dead, but is really dead." Odachi's voice sounded in my mind: "I can't even detect any signs of magic fluctuations in its body. Moreover, do you think If it were still alive, would it keep staring at you like this?"

That's right, if it were still alive, it would definitely tear me into strips of meat and chew it as a snack. It would be impossible for it to live in peace like now.

"Since this giant scorpion died here, does that mean the stone monster has been defeated by it?"

"Maybe," Odachi said, "Besides, what are you asking me for? If you want to find out the situation, why don't you go and take a look for yourself?"

If I really dare to go and take a look, why bother? I’m not asking you just for insurance. Really, I don’t understand the owner’s intentions at all. Bad review.

While complaining, I peeked out. Soon, my eyes were attracted by the stone fragments all over the ground, and I even found several broken ruby ​​residues among them.

Two rubies as bright as blood are the life of the stone monster. Without any one of them, the stone monster will lose its ability to move and turn into an ordinary sculpture.

Now, one of the rubies has been broken into pieces, so the stone monster must have died.

Although the broken ruby ​​is regrettable, it is a good thing for me. At least my life safety is guaranteed.

He stood up from behind the coffin, stretched his waist, took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was already the early morning of the next day.

I put away my pocket watch and walked around the giant scorpion lying on the coffin. I found that a large hole was torn open in the back of the giant scorpion. The hole was more than one meter long and very deep, almost penetrating its lower abdomen. This should be It was the fatal wound that led to the death of the giant scorpion.

But having said that, the sharp claws of the stone monster are really not covered. Not only can they penetrate the khaki magic shield, but they can also cause fatal damage to the hard carapace under the shield. If I have such a group of puppet minions, I can Walking sideways on the Zephyr Continent.

It's a pity that one ruby ​​has been broken. If you want to figure out the reason, you can only pray that the other ruby ​​is intact.

However, things like rubies are still very hard in texture and will not be easily damaged under normal circumstances. Moreover, after I installed them into the eye sockets, I tried to buckle them a few times and found that they could not be buckled off. This means that the beast cannot be buckled off. The ruby ​​​​in the first eye socket is set very firmly, and it will not easily become detached or other accidents.

As for the broken one on the ground, it was probably because it was stung by the scorpion's tail stinger during the battle. Otherwise, I really can't see any part of the giant scorpion that can attack the delicate eye sockets of the beast's head, as well as the nails the size of fingernails. ruby.

After circling the body a few times, I chopped off the giant scorpion's tail stinger with a knife, then removed its pair of large pincers and put them all aside, ready to be packed away when I left.

By the way, the skin of the giant scorpion cannot be wasted. This is rare and good leather. Even if it is made into leather armor, it must be of the highest quality.

As for the giant scorpion's teeth and eyes, I don't want them because I don't know what they are used for.

After packing some of the giant scorpion's limbs and stacking them aside, I started looking for the stone monster's head again.

Looking at the rubble and body parts on the ground, even if you have never watched a battle scene, you can still imagine how brutal the duel between the two giant beasts was.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the half-remaining animal head in the ruins of a collapsed wall, and successfully found another ruby ​​in its eye socket.

But what I didn't expect was that when I dug out the ruby ​​​​with Xilan's demon knife, I suddenly discovered that the ruby ​​​​had already been split into two halves. It was only because it was stuck in the eye socket of the beast's head that it seemed to be complete. of one.

Looking at the two halves of ruby ​​fragments lying in the palm of my hand, I felt like crying.

The plan to build a puppet army completely failed, and the grand plan to use the power of the puppet army to dominate the Zephyr Continent also came to nothing.

Feeling sad, I decided that no matter how hard I tried, I had to cut open the adamantine coffin and take it away, so that my trip here would be worthwhile.

I struggled to drag the giant scorpion out of the coffin, threw it aside, pulled out the Odachi stuck in the coffin, and continued the unfinished task.

Because the two giant beasts were already dead, I didn't have to worry about whether the action of cutting the coffin was exaggerated. After a frantic cutting session, I actually cut off a thick piece of the coffin.

However, the cross section does not appear hollow!

In other words, the internal space of this coffin is not as large as imagined, and may even be very small.

In order to verify my statement, I dragged the Odachi and cut the coffin again.

This time, I cut into the middle of the coffin.

After several hours of cutting, the coffin was cut in half again, but there was still no hollow!

I was stunned.

The previous speculation that the coffin may not be used to bury the owner of the tomb, but used as mercy money for tomb robbers, is really just nonsense made by me when I am impatient, and has nothing to do with the truth!

But it turned out to be a prophecy!

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Odachi murmured: "Your guess is right. This is indeed not a coffin, but a whole piece of fine gold!"

Afterwards, Odachi fell into a brief doubt: "Since it is just a piece of fine gold, what is the purpose of putting it here?"

I happened to be thinking about this issue as well, so the two of us hit it off immediately and started a heated discussion about the use of this piece of fine gold.

Odachi suspects that this may be a trap, because adamantine can strengthen magic fluctuations and increase the power of magic. Maybe once we touch the mechanism hidden under the adamantine, the mechanism will release the magic that has been prepared. After the adamantine is strengthened, it can achieve the goal of eliminating most of the tomb robbers.

I don't deny Odachi's conjecture, but at the same time I also have my own ideas. I still think that this piece of fine gold is the peace money left by the tomb owner to the tomb robbers, and I want to use this to ask the tomb robbers to show mercy.
