Chapter 199 - More Dangers (1/2)
Chapter 199 More DangersTime was running out. That evil stone stayed there with no reaction, and it seemed lifeless like other ordinary jade. No one knew whether its soul had slid away, or it was pretending to hide itself and deceive others. Perhaps, when the time came, it might begin to act as wildly as it had just done.
The two sides were in confrontation, with one side staying silent and motionless, the other being nervous and frightened, ready to take deadly blows.
This was the silence before war, which strongly stung their tight nerves. Zhang Yunyan and Shikong found it hard to bear, but they had to bear. No one knew when and how this confrontation would come to an end.
Then, Zhang Yunyan finally made her move. She secretly told Shikong to stay here, and then went over to the evil stone alone.
She was very nervous, but also a little confident that as the evil stone didn’t attack her when it was flying, it perhaps would not attack her at this moment.
Yunyan no longer hesitated, and she went to the bulging rock step by step, carefully looking at the monster.
The prey was approaching, but the evil stone made no response, nor was there any sign of movement. It looked like a piece of ordinary jade, but with the “stars” inside.
It was strange that it did not respond to the intruders, and paid no heed to the alien beings in front of it. Was it asleep, or was it up to something else?
Anyway, as the evil stone had not launched an attack yet, Zhang Yunyan felt a little relaxed. She watched it vigilantly, ready to defend the stone’s sudden attack so that she could protect her benefactor timely.
At this moment, Zhang Yunyan and the evil stone was close so she could see it clearly.
The evil stone was aggressive, but now it was motionless as if it were dead, which was suspicious.
Yunyan had fully confirmed that it was a piece of translucent green jade, and she was sure of it. There were countless “stars” of various colors distributed everywhere inside the stone and were shining brightly.
Yunyan still didn’t understand why the pair of wings disappeared without a trace. It was too strange, weird and even unbelievable.
Zhang Yunyan was watching it carefully. Her facial expression was full of surprise and suspicion. She was unable to solve the bizarre mystery.
This jade looked very ordinary with nothing special. There was no sign of life, so how could it be so powerful? Why could it grow wings to fly around and was as terrifying as a monster?
She did not understand. The jade looked ordinary, but was exceptionally fierce. It was a fussy elf, and she couldn’t be confused by its false appearance.
Yunyan was watching it vigilantly, and she was still nervous. She was a little afraid that the monster would fly to her and perform magic to attack them suddenly.
During her observation, Zhang Yunyan found another thing that made her surprised and confused.
It turned out that the surface of the jade on both sides were not flat. They were engraved with words.
As she read it, she recognized the words. On one side of the stone, there was a big word of fate; on the other side were a few lines of small words, which were hard to decipher.
It was strange. Why were there also the words of fate on this evil stone?
Zhang Yunyan once learned from Turtle Elf that those words of fate in the cave, large or small were not carved by Jiuyou Sage and the devils. Instead, they were carved by the master who once lived here, and these words were all made from ancient time.
In this case, the words on this jade must also be carved by the master. The words of fate were the proof.
In addition, the Cave of Fate had been sealed for such a long time, and the devils had no access to it. It was impossible for them to leave this piece of jade with words.
This jade had magic and was powerful. The mysterious and strange things hidden under it were suspicious.
The reclusive master was unknown to anyone and was mysterious. What he left was also mysterious and formidable. The power of the evil stone was so frightening. So, it could be seen that the master was more powerful, and no one could rival.
At this time, Shikong had come to Zhang Yunyan quietly.
When he saw that the jade was motionless and paid no attention to Zhang Yunyan, and did not fly up to attack him, Shikong felt relieved. Seeing that the jade was motionless and there was no sign of danger, he couldn’t help waiting and then took the risk of coming here to see what was going on.
Beside Zhang Yunyan, Shikong watched the evil stone carefully, and he was also very puzzled.
This jade had magic and was powerful. The mysterious and strange things hidden under it were suspicious.
The “weird bird” had not moved or performed magic since it landed on the bulging rock. No one knew why it had become so quiet.
At this time, these two people had come in front of it, but it still ignored them, regardless of their observation. This stone could stand such indulgence of them. It seemed that its nature had changed a lot.
Shikong was especially more puzzled. Just then, the jade was determined to take his life, but at this moment when he was standing in front of it, it was so quiet. It was strange.
Why did this evil stone lose interest to the monk that it used to “be fond of”? Its disposition had changed in an instant. How could this happen?
Perhaps, because of the continuous movement and attack, it was exhausted and was no longer able to perform magic. At this time, unable to move, this evil stone returned to the state of ordinary jade, at least temporarily.
Although Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were in speculation and discussion, they still did not know why. But they dared not to relax themselves.
