Chapter 1027 - Mysterious Stone Plate (1/2)
“What is this…?”
“Why isn’t it a martial arts manual? What is it made with, it’s so hard…”
“It looks a little like a stone block!”
“It is a woodblock print?”
The two men and woman chose to untie the knot and see just what was inside the bag.
In the end, what caused them great disappointment was that there was no martial arts manual inside. Instead, they were four exquisite and smooth stone blocks whose names they did not know and could fall off the Universe Bag at any moment even if they placed them inside. There were also some pictures they could not understand on the stone blocks.
Four stone plates!
Four pictures!
And carved on it were these words: You need time to understand it.
“No way, we can’t use it immediately?”
“We can’t use it either. It’s written that we need to find a quiet place and carefully study it to be able to understand the true profound nature behind the pictures on the stone plates. Even if we have it in our hands right now, it’s useless.”
“We’re done for…”
The trio’s expressions were incredibly dark, and they felt their last shred of hope vanishing as well.
When they looked into the distance, they saw more than one thousand Arhat Buddha statues at the beginning stage of Myth Realm locking down a circular area of hundreds of feet by standing close to each other, and they were like a bronze wall. The two men and woman who stood at the center looked disheartened. They instantly felt as if their lives were bleak, and the effort they paid off over the past month had completely gone up in smoke.
“We can’t go out. Even if we send a messenger pigeon to Luo Zhiheng, he can’t help us get out of this stupid place.”
The female trap master remained silent for a while before she accepted reality with dejection on her face. She sighed, “I think that our quest isn’t actually to steal these four stone plates from among so many Arhat Buddha statues in Dafo Temple…”
“If it’s not to steal them, then what are we here for?”
“To destroy them.”
“What?”
“Think about it. When Shi Feixuan gave us the quest, she told us that we were to bring it as quickly as possible once we found the item and stay far away from Shi Feixuan while we bring it to Kind Boathouse. If we could not leave with it, we were to think of everything we can to destroy them, and we were not to let Shi Zhixuan get them.” The female trap master smiled in anguish. “I think that since this place is full of traps, with our strength, it’s impossible for us to get out. It’s possible that right from the start, our task was to be in charge of destroying these four stone plates, not to take them away.”
“Destroy them?”
“But we came here after so much effort…”
The two men sucked in sharp breaths, and they held their stone plates tightly. Then, they were excited. “Do you know what you’re saying? You know that the stone plates are left behind by a divine monk who is One with the World, right? And you’re thinking about destroying them?”
No matter what, they were not people who were at Happy’s level. They could not remain calm and rational while they faced the peerless treasure, Langhuan Blessed Ground. Besides, the item in their hands might actually be worth even more than Langhuan Blessed Ground.
“Did you actually think that I would be willing to?” The female trap master smiled in anguish. “Think about it carefully! Even if this item is God of War Picture Chronicles, we can’t bring them out with our abilities.”
The two men said nothing.
“If we continue staying here, the possibility of Evil King snatching them will be even greater. At that time, not only will we fail the quest because we lost the stone plates, we will also die! We spent so much effort before we pushed our relationship status with Shi Feixuan to Friendly. If we fail in this quest, Shi Feixuan will be utterly disappointed in us!”
The two men looked at each other and put on complicated expressions, looking as if they had a hard time making a decision.
They could understand what their companion told them, but the treasure in their hands right now could change their current situation and even elevate them to being top-class elites who could catch the attention of the world. They would much rather that they had never run into these items instead of being forced to give up on them right now.
“Do it.”
The female trap master naturally knew about the furious fight her companions had in their hearts, but she was currently the only one among the three who still had a rather clear and rational mind.
She knew very well that with Shi Feixuan’s strength, it was impossible for her to hold back Evil King and Empress Yin!
It was impossible that Evil King had not discovered what was going on here when the Buddha statues had made such large movements!
“If we don’t take action, once Evil King comes here, not only will we die, but we will also fail in our quest, and the items will also fall into Evil King’s hands.”
The female trap master gritted her teeth while she spoke, and she resolutely threw two of the stone plates in her hands into the sky.
Under her two companions’ pained gazes, the female trap master delivered a strike with all her power, and a palm-generated wind charged forward fiercely and mightily. It charged forward fiercely, and it looked as if it wanted to crush the stone plates into powder.
However, it seemed like these stone plates which were made using unknown material were not that easily destroyed. A loud bang rose, but the stone plates remained undamaged, and the palm-generated wind was sent violently crashing against the Arhat Buddha statues.
“Oh no!”
When they saw this, the trio’s expressions changed drastically.
Almost instinctively, the trio moved at the same time to get the stone plates back.
But right when they were about to attack, the thousand Arhat Buddha statues released an astonishing presence, and a violent, invisible qi wave suddenly charged toward them from the front.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The trio felt as if their lower halves had been swept through by a force amounting to thousands of Newtons. They fell backward very pathetically.
Those two stone plates were not attacked by the qi waves. They fell among the Buddha statues without anything slowing down their fall. They fell on an empty spot among a few Arhat Buddha statues. There was even a distance of thirty something feet between them.
“This is bad… This is really bad.”
The three people got up from the floor. They saw the stone plates that fell among the Arhat Formation, and all of them put on anguished smiles.
The female trap master was full of regrets, and they did not think that these seemingly frail stone plates would be so sturdy. They were completely fine even after they suffered a full-powered blow from her.
“I can’t take those stone plates back!”
