Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty – Ink Jade Bones (2/2)
Resuming his normal composure, Zuo Mo’s gaze became determine again. Wei Sheng and Zong Ru who had been paying attention to Zuo Mo all this time finally released a breath. Seeing the two’s expressions, Zuo Mo did not want them to worry and smiled.
At this time, he suddenly recalled the strange vibration that had come from his ring.
He hurriedly started to rummage through his ring.
It was this!
Zuo Mo’s pupils suddenly contracted!
At some unknown time, the pile of bones in the corner of the ring had become a bright red like burning hot metal!
Ink jade bones!
The strange vibration just now had come from the ink jade bones!
Shocked, Zuo Mo took out all the ink jade bones. As the dark red ink jade bones were taken out, the ice mist that flooded the surroundings suddenly rushed towards the ink jade bones like sharks scenting blood.
This pile of ink jade bones in front of Zuo Mo seemed to be a powerful whirlpool or a bottomless hole that kept on consuming ice mist.
Sss sss sss!
The ice mist that was being pulled in turned to slender flows that howled.
Zuo Mo and the others were amazed.
Wei Sheng and Zong Ru were alright. Even though they were astounded, they did not know about all the events of the Sun Shen Temple and just thought the ink jade bones were a treasure. Zuo Mo truly jumped in fright. No one knew better than him about the origins of the ink jade bones. That was something he had found in the Burning Shen Realm of the Sun Shen Temple. At that time, he had seen the ink jade bones were of a good color and special quality. He had thought it was a treasure since it was not rotted after tens of thousands of years so he kept them until now.
Thinking about the “presence of clansmen” that the mist person had just mentioned, and then looking at this spectacular scene, Zuo Mo instantly understood. The ink jade bones were most likely an ancestor of the mist person. Then they had been captured by the Sun Shen Temple and jailed in the Burning Shen Realm.
The mist person who had been unconscious suddenly woke up with a moan.
The trio’s expressions suddenly changed and the realized that they had forgotten to check if the mist person was dead or alive! It might have been that A Gui had not completely recovered or that the mist person was too strong that this was the first time Zuo Mo had seen someone survive A Gui’s attack!
A Gui’s eyes were completely dim now and had reverted back to the usual woodenness. She did not react at all to the awakening mist person!
Damn it!
The three were just going to act, especially Zuo Mo. He was preparing to use shen power!
Yet the next scene stunned them!
They could see tears on the mist person’s face, they were like the pearls dropping off a broken necklace and fell down. The faint blue teardrops became faint blue beads once they left her eyes. When they landed on the ground, they caused a clatter.
It was the first time Zuo Mo and the others had seen someone cry like this. All of them were stuck to their spot.
“Tears of a mist person! I don’t know how a brat like you can have such good luck!” In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao shook his head and sighed.
“Luck?” Zuo Mo didn’t quite understand. Everything that was happening right now did not seem to have a connection with luck.
“The mist people have cold personalities and the majority of them would not cry once in their life. The beads formed from the tears of the mist people are called mist people tears, and was an ultimate water element treasure! Even more importantly, once a mist person cries in front of someone, the person will receive their friendship!”
Pu Yao had great knowledge and described the lore.
“Really?” Zuo Mo didn’t quite believe it. If this woman suddenly went crazy, they wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
“It is true,” Wei said solemnly. His voice carried a strange emotion. He felt a mixture of feelings upon seeing the descendants of ancient tribes.
Zuo Mo finally calmed his racing heart. Pu Yao and Wei usually were at odds. If both sides agreed it was true, then it should be true.
He gave a look to Wei Sheng and Zong Ru to stop them from fighting. The two did not understand but refrained from taking action.
The mist person only cried for a while before stopping.
Standing to the side Zuo Mo didn’t know how much ice mist the bones had absorbed. The color of the bones had gone from the burning red to a faint blue. The bones became a wondrous glowing blue, transparent like crystal.
Rustling suddenly sounded in the surroundings. The figures of numerous mist people flickered in and out of the ice mist.
Zuo Mo and the others changed expression!
The mist people came from all directions like the tide, surrounding Zuo Mo’s group in the middle
Zuo Mo was furiously replaying that what Pu Yao said, “receiving the friendship of the mist person” and hoping it was true, otherwise … …
The dense crowd of mist people appearing caused Zuo Mo’s scalp to prickle!
The next action of the mist people caused Zuo Mo to be shocked and also sigh in relief! The mist people orderly knelt down like the tide washing over the crowd. There was excitement on all of their faces.
Zuo Mo understood his own weight and knew that the mist people were not kneeling to him. As expected, what they were kneeling to was the pile ofcrystal bones!
He hurriedly pulled Wei Sheng and Zong Ru to hurry to the side. At this time, it was good to be perceptive.
Crack, crack!
As he moved away wave of strange sounds came from behind Zuo Mo. Turning around Zuo Mo, he was stunned as though he was struck by lightning.
The crystal bones were moving, all of them standing up. One bone flew on top of another bone, and a skeleton gradually formed. There seemed to be an invisible hand that was piecing the bones back together.
A hair-raising fear that was hard to describe rose in Zuo Mo’s mind. His hair all stood on end!
