Chapter 221: The Fall of Gods (1/2)

“I’ll have to trouble Brother Feng for what I’m about to show next, but I trust you will be able to give me a fair price.” Zhuang Ming’s storage ring shone, and unlike the previous times, he took out seven items at once. There was a crystal with gorgeous colors, and when one paid close attention to it, one would be able to see faint rays of light swirling within it.

There was a purple flower the size of a palm, each of its seven petals shaped differently. The petals were surrounding five gently swaying stamens that, in turn, were surrounding three deep-purple cores. At the exact center of the flower was a glowing purple object that looked like a diamond.

There was an ancient looking map, but the content of the map had already faded. The map, however, was emanating a visible, unique undulation that proved it was no ordinary map.

There was an entirely red fruit, and the high temperature around it could be felt even from far away. It was placed in a case made of top-quality Firesmith Stone, a material capable of bearing extreme temperatures.

There was a seed the size of a fist. The seed looked incredibly common, with its large size being its only unique trait. The only reason it was even called a seed was due to its shape being similar to that of a melon seed.

There was a pair of wooden birds that looked incredibly lively. They were made of unknown wooden materials, and the exquisite artwork that went into sculpting these two birds was something not even the best sculptor of the current era could create.

Finally, there was a drop of an azure-colored liquid, kept in a transparent jade bottle. It looked pretty, but apart from that, it was hard to guess what was special about this liquid.

After the seven items were taken out, Bai Xiaofei’s group of three merely looked at them curiously. Hu Xian’er stealthily poked Bai Xiaofei and whispered something into his ears. As for Feng Wuhen, he gulped with great difficulty before looking at Zhuang Ming with shock.

“These are all…items from the vestige?” Feng Wuhen asked.

A smile formed on Zhuang Ming’s face. “Of course. Like I told you, never underestimate the prowess of gamblers.”

Although Zhuang Ming had a proud smile on his face, inwardly, he was crying tears of blood. These seven items were the wealth they had spent over thirty years accumulating with great difficulty. Now, he wasn’t even sure how many of them would be left by the time this was over…

“Vestige? What place is that exactly?” After hearing this term again, Bai Xiaofei could no longer hold in his curiosity. It seemed like no matter what item it was, so long as it was related to the vestige, it would be extremely valuable.

“It’s normal for you to not know about it. The last time the vestige opened was thirty years ago,” Feng Wuhen explained. He took in a deep breath as some memories in his mind resurfaced, but he only gave a simplified explanation to Bai Xiaofei.

He continued, “The vestige is essentially a space that existed in parallel with the continent. The only thing we know is that it is linked to the continent, but there are no fixed routes between the two. To summon a portal leading to the vestige, the thirteen Tokens of Heroes have to be gathered. It’s a pity that after the portal opening thirty years ago, the Tokens of Heroes have since been scattered everywhere.”

Hearing that, Bai Xiaofei’s face froze.

Isn’t the Token of Heroes a key to pass through the seals around the Gorge of Heroes? It has another function to it?
