Chapter 800: Stone Statue with Orc Body and Human Head
"What happened just now was because of your...superpower?"
After walking out of the training room and coming to the living room, Jessica couldn't help but ask Xue Chen. There was no other possibility except this explanation. Even the best marksman she had ever seen couldn't do this!
Xue Chen did not answer this question, but asked where Edward had gone and when he could come back. He had already figured out that no matter what Edward wanted to do to keep him here, it was impossible, even if he couldn't get the seat
Evil god statue.
He has figured out one thing a long time ago. The purpose of obtaining spiritual energy is for various abilities, and the abilities are to make his life better. It is absolutely impossible to do something unwillingly for the sake of spiritual energy. That would be putting the cart before the horse!
Seeing that Xue Chen didn't answer, Jessica felt slightly unhappy and said casually: "A batch of goods has arrived, and my dad went to deal with it."
"Goods? Are they antiques smuggled from other countries?" Xue Chen's eyes moved.
Jessica hesitated for a moment and nodded calmly: "Not bad."
As they were talking, Edward, who thought he would come back at night, strode into the villa with a look of joy in his eyes, obviously in a good mood.
Jessica stood up, said hello, and asked how things were going.
"Things are going well. The ship will return to shore tonight, and we will set off in the afternoon to inspect the cargo and transport it away." Edward said loudly.
After the father and daughter chatted for a while, Xue Chen stood up in time, looked directly at Edward, and said: "Mr. Edward, I think you should be very clear about the purpose of my visit this time, which is for the evil god in South America.
I hope to get the statue as soon as possible. You can set a price. If you don’t want to part with it, I won’t force you to do it and leave now.”
Edward looked at Xue Chen and saw that Xue Chen was determined to get the statue of the evil god immediately. He frowned, thought about it for a moment, moved his eyes, and laughed loudly and said: "Since I promised you, Mr. Xue, I will naturally not break the promise. Okay, I
I’ll get it for you later.”
"What's the price?" As long as Edward's asking price is not outrageous, he can accept it. Of course, the premise is that the statue of the evil god is real and it really contains enough spiritual energy.
"It's just a statue, I can give it to you." Edward took off his coat and asked the servant to hang it up. He sat on the sofa and looked at Xue Chen, "I only have one condition, that is, you can come with me tonight
Go out with Jessica to pick up the goods."
"Receive the goods..." Xue Chen's eyes moved, and he was a little confused as to what Edward was thinking. Was it because it was dangerous to receive the goods, and he wanted him to be a bodyguard, or was there another purpose? However, this could not stop him.
.
Read minds!
Xue Chen looked at Edward, and the two people's eyes met for a moment. Xue Chen immediately read all the thoughts in the other person's heart at that moment, and Edward's voice sounded in his heart.
"We must try to keep him. It just so happens that a batch of goods arrived today. Let him go with us. Let him open his eyes and let him know about the huge profits. If we let him pick two more items, will he still not be tempted?
"
Well……
Understanding Edward's thoughts, Xue Chen knew that he was worrying too much. It turned out that he wanted to keep him and let him serve the Kermeon family. Since that was all, he had nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I can go with you." Xue Chen agreed.
"Yeah." Edward nodded with satisfaction, thinking in his mind, he didn't believe that Xue Chen could resist that huge temptation? You know, every time the goods arrived, he would be uncontrollably excited.
"Okay, I will ask someone to go to the storage room now and get you the statue of the evil god." Edward called Dawson, took out a key and handed it to Dawson, "Go, get that statue from
The statues brought from South America were brought over."
"Yes." Dawson took the order.
After a while, the people came back. Dawson walked in front, followed by two security guards from the villa. The two security guards worked together to carefully carry a wooden box, walked over and placed it in the center of the living room.
Xue Chen stood up and looked over, and saw that a layer of dust had fallen on the box, as if it had not been opened for more than half a year.
Edward also stood up and walked closer, saying: "This evil god statue was shipped a year ago, but it took a lot of effort. Unfortunately, no one knew the goods, so it has been kept in the storage room. Since Mr. Xue
If you like it, then take it, but it’s just such a big statue that it might be difficult to enter the country.”
Immediately, he ordered the security guard to open the box.
Poof, the box was pried open, kicking up some dust. Xue Chen walked straight up to the alley and finally saw the statue of the evil god.
The statue is carved from brown stone, about 70 to 80 centimeters tall, and has a very strange shape. It looks like the body of a tiger and leopard, lying there, but with the head of a human. At first glance, it gives people
It feels very primitive, with some traces of dried moss remaining.
"Aura!"
Xue Chen was most concerned about whether it had spiritual energy. Without touching it with his hands, just getting closer, he immediately felt that there was indeed spiritual energy in this statue, and it was very surging!
When he reached out and touched it, Xue Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up with joy. He instantly received information about the statue and at the same time, he also determined the content of aura inside it.
Although the spiritual energy in this statue was only about one-tenth or two-tenths compared to that of the totem stone slab, it had already met his psychological expectations. He roughly estimated that after absorbing the spiritual energy in it, the jade pupils would
Reiki should just be perfect again!
"Very good!"
If he hadn't been worried about the occasion, Xue Chen would have jumped up and sang a song with joy.
Compared with the past, the spiritual energy came so quickly this time. A totem stone slab and an evil god statue were enough to satisfy Yutong's need for spiritual energy. He did not waste time and immediately began to absorb the spiritual energy inside.
Aura.
The statue of the evil god is filled with spiritual energy, like a lake of spiritual energy, and the jade pupil has turned into a bottomless pit, sucking in continuously, and the spiritual energy is transferred rapidly.
Edward and Jessica both observed Xue Chen as if they were distracted. Seeing Xue Chen's happy look, they looked at each other. When they saw Xue Chen squatting there motionless, as if he was distracted, they both felt as if something was wrong.
I was thinking about it, but I didn’t interrupt rashly.
After about half a minute, Xue Chen stood up with a satisfied and happy face, and said to Edward who was watching him: "You can take it back."
"Take it back?" Edward was confused for a moment, "I have already given this statue to you..."
Xue Chen didn't explain much. He just said that the statue was of no use to him anymore, and then walked upstairs: "Just call me when you leave. I want to rest for a while."
Seeing Xue Chen go upstairs, Edward sat back on the sofa, with a confused look on his face and his eyes flashing: "Jessica, do you understand?"
"A little bit of speculation, but not sure."
"Say it and I'll listen."
"Dad, do you still remember what he did with the totem slate that he took away? Throw it away! He said he had thrown it away. At that time, I thought he was lying, but now I feel that it should be true." Jessica
He looked at the statue that was still placed there with penetrating eyes, "It seems from his expression that he loves this statue very much, but he doesn't want it anymore. This is very strange."
"Um."
"So, I don't think he really likes the totem slate and the evil god statue and wants to collect them, but has another purpose. It seems... he just wants to take a look and touch it. That's enough.
, just touch it, if you just take a look, you have already seen the totem slate during the auction preview!" Jessica's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Touch? Hmm." Edward felt that what his daughter said made sense. Although it sounded strange, he couldn't understand the reason at all.
Jessica tightened her chin slightly, with surprise in her tone: "I guess it is probably related to his ability, otherwise there is no other reason. Maybe the totem stone slab and the evil god statue have an effect on his ability? Does it need to be touched?
"
The father and daughter were both speculating, feeling increasingly confused.
And Xue Chen had already gone upstairs, so naturally he didn't know that the two people downstairs were speculating. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Since the other party already knew that he had various abilities, it wouldn't matter if he guessed some more.
What's more, all his heart is now focused on his jade pupils, which are filled with spiritual energy!
After returning to the room, he first locked the door, then came to the bed and sat down. He closed his eyes slightly and felt the situation in the jade eyes between his eyebrows. He felt a full feeling inside that made him very comfortable.
It is as satisfying as a person who has been hungry for a long time after a full meal.
"let's start……"
As soon as his mind moved, the spiritual energy in his jade pupils began to stir.
The spiritual energy contained in the jade pupil was quickly swallowed up and disappeared, and it was the jade pupil that was "eaten"! And as the spiritual energy was swallowed, the jade pupil also began to undergo some changes, that is, it became swollen! There were strong bursts of
The swelling feels like something is about to split from the center of the eyebrow.
A trace of worry flashed in Xue Chen's heart, and he secretly thought that the jade pupils might be revealed, which would be terrible, but now that the arrow is on the line and he has to act, there is no use worrying, he can only continue.
Buzz~buzz~
Xue Chen, with his eyes closed, was in a half-asleep and half-awake state. His head was empty and nothing existed. He could only feel that as the spiritual energy merged, his jade pupils became more and more hot, and the feeling of swelling and cracking became more and more intense.
The stronger it is, like a heart that beats every once in a while.
This state lasted for a long time, but I don't know how long it took. Xue Chen, who had his eyes closed, suddenly started to tremble all over his body, let out a muffled groan, and frowned tightly.
If someone were standing by at this moment, they would be horrified to see the outline of an eye appearing between Xue Chen’s eyebrows, as if it was just under the skin and was about to be revealed. (To be continued)
