When Qu Jianlei was on his way, he was still releasing his powers of perception, but at the same time, he had other things on his mind.
He felt Aunt Han's uneasiness.
Just by asking the other party to give him the gold crystal, he could guess what this wood attribute A-level was worried about.
But he couldn't explain it. Could it be that he wanted to say that he had no attributes and that the golden crystal would only destroy the balance of the body?
Anyway, let's take a look. What he can't let go of the most is the thunder ram's horns.
Half a day after entering the cave, there were three forks in the road ahead.
Luo Hanshuang took out the incense burner again, prayed, and randomly chose the middle path.
After making the choice, there were no obvious changes, and there were still various opportunities on the roadside.
However, Luo Hanshuang still sensed something different, "The opportunities seem to have become a little less."
Aunt Han said calmly, "You should be satisfied. Before you came in, would you have thought that you would gain so much?"
"That's not true," Luo Hanshuang replied with a smile on his face, "It far exceeded my expectations. I must thank Brother Ran very much."
Hearing this, Aunt Han felt a little more at ease: The young lady's attitude should comfort him, right?
Six hours later, there was another fork in the road. This time, after praying, Luo Hanshuang made his own decision and chose the left side.
I don’t know if psychological factors are at play, but Luo Hanshuang said, “I feel that this choice is more valuable.”
To make a long story short, after passing two more forks in the road, the three of them finally reached the destination two days later.
Luo Hanshuang discovered something: the closer to the end, the fewer opportunities there are.
"It seems that the seniors who entered before were mainly rushing at the beginning, and they will have more time to look for opportunities later."
Qu Jianlei and Aunt Han both agreed with her guess.
The end point is a square field paved with bluestone, about twenty meters long on a side.
At the top of the venue, there is a screen wall about ten meters wide and more than three meters high.
The screen wall is not the focus. There is a square stone platform in front of the screen wall, which is half a meter high and just over a meter wide.
In front of the stone platform is a circle about two meters in diameter.
The circle is flush with the ground, but its color is black, with faint patterns of Tai Chi fish visible on it.
"This is it," Luo Hanshuang breathed out lightly, "There's still a whole day left!"
She walked around the circle and came to the stone platform. She was suddenly startled, "I'll go, what is this?"
Qu Jianlei ignored her, but squatted down and carefully looked at the black Tai Chi pattern on the ground.
It must have been too long, and the pattern has been somewhat weathered, but I can vaguely feel that there are still some abnormal energy fluctuations.
This form of energy is very close to the energy contained in stalactites.
It is indeed a secret realm left by the ancestors of China!
I just don’t know where those ancestors have gone. The wealth they left behind is now divided up by the people of the empire.
Qu Jianlei's mood was a bit complicated. It wouldn't hurt to say that it was not his own thing after all.
But in terms of inheritance rights, he should have more power than other Imperial people, right?
Forget it... He shook his head. The empire was strictly guarding this place, and major universities were involved. It was useless to think about it any more.
At this moment, he heard Aunt Han exclaim, "What's going on?"
Qu Jianlei stood up and walked towards the stone platform. After taking two steps, he stopped and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Then he walked over calmly and looked at it silently.
But Xiao Hu had already shouted in his mind, "Huarong Dao, Huarong Dao's cross sword starts immediately!"
"I know," Qu Jianlei replied silently in his heart, "Let them struggle first."
In fact, Aunt Han had already noticed his abnormality.
Although she didn't take it too seriously and thought he might have been shocked, she was still a little more wary.
She asked calmly, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Is this the little guy's internship mission?" Qu Jianlei glanced at Luo Hanshuang.
"You guys should think about it first. I've been traveling for two days and I want to take a rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Hanshuang yawned long and muttered something.
"I also need to take a nap, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate at all."
Aunt Han became anxious when she heard this, "There is only one day left, so I gritted my teeth and got through it... Aren't you going to be in the inner circle?"
Luo Hanshuang showed her little white hands, "When faced with this kind of question, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to enter the inner circle!"
"Anyway, the harvest this time has been great. In this case, why not take a rest, what if you wake up with a clear mind?"
Seeing that Aunt Han wanted to talk, she simply said, "Since you're not tired, Aunt Han, why don't you help me think about it?"
Aunt Han rolled her eyes when she heard this, "You are so embarrassed to say, forget it, I don't bother to care about you!"
It was impossible for her to rest. As long as she was wary of Ran Bingluan, she would not let down her guard.
And she knew that after the past two days, Luo Hanshuang couldn't bear it anymore, and Xiaoran really needed to rest after using his mental power for a long time.
And she really doesn't have much consumption, so it doesn't matter if she lasts for another three days and three nights.
But even so, Qu Jianlei still set up a defensive formation to cover the three of them.
He was also wary of Aunt Han taking action against him. After all, it was not uncommon for kindness to be repaid with hatred.
Many big families act without considering the life and death of outsiders. Driven by interests, they regard morality as nothing.
What's even more extreme is that if they think "you may be a threat", they will take action without mercy.
So he also put two cans of "paraquat" in his backpack just in case.
Anyway, to recuperate, he only needs to meditate and does not need to fall into deep sleep.
Seriously, he has some expectations. If the other party really dares to take action against him, then there will be no lower limit for what he can do.
In order to recover as quickly as possible, he even took out a Grade A crystal to regain his energy.
Fortunately, Aunt Han's moral standards were above average. She took the initiative to walk out of the defensive formation and concentrated on observing the stone platform.
Qu Jianlei spent eight hours resting this time. He did not return to his peak condition, but his physical condition also improved greatly.
He opened his eyes and stood up, but with this slight movement, Luo Hanshuang, who was lying on the blanket, also woke up.
There are still a lot of bloodshot eyes in Xiao Baitian's eyes, obviously she has not fully recovered yet, but she said confidently, "I'm much better!"
Aunt Han glanced at her and said hesitantly, "I've thought about it, and it seems that I still have to use sacrifice."
"Sacrifice..." Luo Hanshuang frowned, "Then let's sacrifice, shall we use the opportunity we got?"
"Use energy blocks!" Aunt Han replied without hesitation, and then looked at Qu Jianlei again, "Can you help keep it secret?"
"Of course it's okay to keep it secret," Qu Jianlei answered simply, and then asked curiously, "Can energy blocks be sacrificed?"
It's so pitiful that he doesn't even know what sacrifice is about, but he can't openly admit his ignorance.
"The empire doesn't allow it," Aunt Han replied in a deep voice, "and the effect of sacrificing by chance is better..."
"But this kind of question is really too difficult. Let's sacrifice it with an energy block first and see the reality."
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this. The question was indeed not that difficult.
Huarongdao's solution is actually not difficult, especially if you have a smart terminal, you can just use the exhaustive method to crack it.
But Huarong Dao on this stone platform, the stone chess pieces are tightly connected to the stone platform and cannot move at all.
There are even no words on the chess pieces, so I don’t know what tricks they are playing.
Qu Jianlei had reason to suspect that the empire might have scratched off the words on the chess pieces to prevent the divine inscriptions from spreading.
There are obvious signs of weathering on the stone chess pieces, but the empire has been in this secret realm for thousands of years, so weathering is not surprising.
Just as he was wondering what the sacrifice should be like, he saw Luo Hanshuang taking out a box.
Then she opened the box, took out the energy block, and placed it respectfully on the Tai Chi diagram.
A box of energy blocks weighed one hundred pieces. They were all placed quickly, but there was no reaction at all.
Luo Hanshuang was stunned for a moment, then took out another box and continued to place the energy blocks.
Just after placing it, Tai Chi rippled like water waves, and the energy blocks disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Fortunately," Aunt Han breathed a sigh of relief, "the effort is worth it."
One energy block only costs one hundred silver dollars, and two hundred energy blocks only costs twenty thousand. The Luo family, with its large family and business, can afford it.
Then she turned her head to look at the stone platform and exclaimed in surprise, "There are divine inscriptions!"
Qu Jianlei also discovered that a word appeared on a chess piece - "Pawn".
Immediately afterwards, Luo Hanshuang also made a new discovery, "Ah, this stone can actually be moved!"
She and Aunt Han fiddled with the stones for a while, then looked at each other again, "It seems like we need to write some divine characters on it!"
But there are so many sacred texts, what should be written? The two frowned in distress.
"Let's continue the sacrifice first," Luo Hanshuang began to take out energy blocks again.
After sacrificing two large boxes of energy blocks again, the word "Pawn" appeared on another chess piece!
"It's actually the same character," Luo Hanshuang frowned, "These two are the same size, so they should have the same character, right?"
"Don't take risks," Aunt Han said in a deep voice, "These two are symmetrical, what if the other two are not?"
"Then I'll sacrifice two more boxes," Luo Hanshuang took out two more boxes of energy blocks without hesitation.
For her, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!
Sure enough, the third word appeared, and it was still a "pawn", and all three chess pieces could be moved.
"I'll write the fourth word!" Luo Hanshuang felt that there could be no accident.
"I'll do it," Aunt Han walked to the stone platform, mobilized the power of the wood element, and scratched on the stone with her index finger.
She only mobilized the power of the elements, not intending to leave scratches, and her movements were very gentle.
However, things were still so strange. When her fingertips passed by, a word "pawn" really appeared on the stone.
Next, she tried to push, "Sure enough, these four stones can be pushed."
