Chapter 5942 Mysterious Horn (Fourth Update)
The cave was empty, with nothing but a pool of water at the bottom.
Ye Chen stood beside the pool, feeling the source of the demon's breath in the cave, and immediately realized that the breath came from the bottom of the pool.
"Yan Xuan'er, you look after A Mao, I'll go to the bottom of the pool to take a look."
Ye Chen summoned Yan Xuan'er, explained, and then jumped into the water.
The icy cold water in the pool made Ye Chen feel a trace of cold air entering his body, and he even had to use the Daoling Fire and the Flame Monument to protect his body before continuing to dive.
After successfully diving to the bottom of the pool, Ye Chen saw what he was looking for at a glance, a heavy stone box slanted into the mud and sand at the bottom of the pool.
"No matter what it is, get it first."
Thinking of this, Ye Chen came to the side of the stone box and prepared to reach out to take it.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light lit up all around, and then the white light formed a triangular area, surrounding him and the stone box.
Ye Chen was immediately surprised: "Is there a formation guarding it?"
The temperature of the water in the pond dropped rapidly, and the Dao Ling Fire around Ye Chen's body could not resist it. It was completely extinguished in the blink of an eye.
The biting cold instantly entered his body, and the water in the pond began to condense at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ye Chen hurriedly urged the Dao Ling Fire again to forcibly protect his body.
Even with the Dao Ling Fire to resist, the speed at which the water in the pond condensed made Ye Chen somewhat inconvenient to move. If he delayed for a while, he would probably be frozen here.
Ye Chen hurriedly reached out to pick up the stone box under his feet, but found it extremely heavy and could not lift it.
After trying twice more, the water in the pond was about to completely condense into ice, and the Dao Ling Fire on his body had also reached its limit.
Ye Chen had no choice but to give up the stone box that was already at hand, and while the water in the pond had not completely condensed, he left the influence range of the formation with difficulty.
After leaving the triangular area, the white light gradually disappeared, and the condensed water in the pond slowly melted again.
Ye Chen thought about it and simply returned to the shore.
"Amao, I will send you back to the village first, okay?"
Amao did not respond or object, so Ye Chen took Amao back to Taiping Village.
After settling Amao in his house, preparing food and clean water, as well as some children's toys, Ye Chen returned to the bottom of the pond again.
This time, under the protection of the fire spirit Yan Xuan'er, the fire of the Tao spirit easily dispelled the coldness in the pond water.
Ye Chen stood outside the range of the formation, looking at the stone box in the mud and sand, and said to Yan Xuan'er: "After you go in, try to see if you can burn the stone box."
Yan Xuan'er nodded and said: "Sir, no problem."
"I hope the things in this stone box won't be burned so easily."
Ye Chen thought that since it was protected by the formation and the stone box, it shouldn't be so easy to damage.
So he let Yan Xuan'er do it.
Not long after coming to the stone box again, the previous formation was activated again, and the water in the pond condensed quickly again.
However, standing next to Yan Xuan'er who was trying hard to burn the stone box this time, Ye Chen did not feel how strong the cold was.
Under Yan Xuan'er's efforts, before the water in the pond completely condensed, the stone box made a slight sound and was burned to a slight crack.
Ye Chen hurriedly left the formation range with Yan Xuan'er. After the water in the pond returned to calm, Yan Xuan'er entered the formation alone this time to burn the stone box.
After several times, Yan Xuan'er finally shouted to Ye Chen excitedly: "It's open!"
Ye Chen entered the formation again and saw that the stone box had been burned into a black color, and a large crack had also appeared on the box.
Ye Chen took out the evil sword, gently inserted it into the gap, and pried it hard, and the stone box was immediately split into two halves.
"A horn?"
Ye Chen looked at the things exposed in the stone box. It was from this horn that the strong breath of the demon continued to emanate.
He put the horn away and returned to the village.
After entering the house, Ye Chen saw that A Mao was quietly waiting for him to come back in the room. Except for the water, all the things he prepared before going out were not touched.
Without caring about these, after closing the door, Ye Chen took out the horn and placed it in front of A Mao.
He looked at little A Mao and asked, "Is this what you are looking for?"
A Mao looked at the horn in front of him, and suddenly a strange look emanated from his originally dull eyes, and he nodded for the first time.
Then he stretched out his little hand and held the horn in his hand with both hands. The next action surprised Ye Chen a little.
Because after little A Mao picked up the horn, he looked at Ye Chen and put it in his hand.
Ye Chen asked in surprise, "You... do you want to give this horn to me?"
A Mao nodded and stuffed the horn over with force.
Ye Chen couldn't guess A Mao's thoughts.
Why would he give me something he had finally found, especially since the aura of the Heavenly Demon on this horn was the same as that on A Mao.
However, under A Mao's insistence, Ye Chen had no choice but to accept it.
He originally wanted to find out the origin of this horn, but Xuan Hanyu didn't know either. He only knew that the aura of the demon clan on it came from the Heavenly Demon, the same as that on A Mao.
But A Mao couldn't speak and was too young, so there was no possibility of communication at all.
Ye Chen asked the villagers for several days, but apart from the tragic events that happened to the family after A Mao was born, he got nothing else.
He had no choice but to look for the answer from A Mao.
