Chapter 1552: Digging Up Treasures
Zhou Wen came from this side of the cliff. Across the cliff was the Lost Paradise. He had observed this cliff before and did not find anything wrong.
The little beast ran towards the edge of the cliff very resolutely, which made Zhou Wen feel a little puzzled: "Could it be that the treasure is under the cliff?"
Soon, Zhou Wen dismissed the idea because the little beast stopped at the edge of the cliff and sniffed at a stone.
"Is there something wrong with that stone?" Zhou Wen's mind locked onto the stone, but he found no problem. It seemed that it was just an ordinary rock, no different from the stones next to it.
"It seems that you, little thing, are not very reliable." The Demon Killer said from the side.
Before Zhou Wen could answer, the little beast seemed to understand and started baring its teeth and roaring at the Killing Demon, as if cursing him.
"Can you see me?" The Demon Killer was slightly startled. He was in a state of fear. It was impossible for anyone to see him without reaching the fear level.
The body level of this little beast was obviously very low, and it was impossible for it to reach the fear level. The fact that it could actually see the Killing Demon naturally made the Killing Demon a little unbelievable.
The little beast was still barking at him, and it was obvious that it could see him.
Zhou Wen didn't bother with them. He walked to the stone and looked at it carefully. The stone should be an ordinary rock, but there was one thing that was very strange.
This area on the edge of the cliff is a platform. The rest of the place is flat, except for this stone which protrudes about a foot high and is very smooth due to being rubbed.
"You, come here." Zhou Wen called over a person who was kneeling not far away and asked, "Why is there a protruding rock here?"
The man thought for a moment and replied, "Master Demon King, this rock has been here for a long time. I don't know when it got there, because it's right on the edge of the cliff. We usually tie a rope to this rock and use it to go down the cliff to look for edible plants and fungi."
"Go and call your city lord." Seeing that he didn't know much, Zhou Wen gave an order.
Not long after, the old man came jogging over and knelt down again when they met.
"Okay, stop kneeling. Tell me, when did this stone come here?" Zhou Wen waved his hand to stop the old man from kneeling.
He was used to these etiquettes, and it was a waste of time.
The old man finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I've only heard from the elders that there was originally a stele here, even before the city of No Regrets was built. Because they didn't know who had erected it, the elders didn't dare to tear it down. As time went by, the stele became unremarkable, so the elders started using it as a pillar, tying it to a rope and descending to the valley floor in search of food."
The old man paused and continued, "Over time, the stone tablet was damaged by wind and rain, as well as several accidental injuries. Later, it suffered other hardships, and by the time of our generation, only this little bit of the stone tablet remains. We are not quite sure of its origins."
"A stone tablet?" Zhou Wen frowned as he looked at the foot-high stone protrusion below. It was really hard to associate it with a tablet.
Moreover, this stele actually broke into pieces. If it is really such a magical thing, how could it break so easily?
The people of Buhui City didn't know much about this stone, so Zhou Wen waved his hand and sent them away.
The little beast ran to Zhou Wen and gestured with its claws. Judging from its intention, it seemed to be asking Zhou Wen for its companion egg.
This guy is like a weasel, but it doesn't like to eat eggs, but companion eggs. The higher its level, the more it likes to eat them.
Zhou Wen had fed it a lot of companion eggs before. Although the levels were not very high, most of them were epic level, but he had never seen them evolve over the years.
"Are you sure this stone is a treasure?" Zhou Wen asked the little beast.
The little animal pointed at the stone with its claws and made a digging motion.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that the treasure was not this stone, but underneath the stone.
Zhou Wen summoned the Tyrant Behemoth and asked it to dig up the stones. This kind of hard labor was most suitable for it.
The Tyrant Behemoth did not transform into a giant form, but shrank to a height of four or five meters. It stretched out its claws and with one claw, the stone was split open like tofu.
With just a few movements of his claws, the protruding rock was dug out with its roots, and a pit more than one meter deep was dug out on the edge of the cliff.
when!
The Tyrant Behemoth's claws seemed to have touched something, and a sound of metal clashing was heard.
Zhou Wen hurried over and looked into the pit, and found a green metal object exposed underneath, which looked like a bronze artifact.
He summoned a bamboo sword and dug the rock next to the bronze artifact along its path. Soon the bronze artifact was completely exposed.
"What is this?" Zhou Wen looked at the bronze artifact that was taken out of the pit in front of him, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what it was.
This thing looks very strange. Zhou Wen has never seen such a bronze artifact.
Common bronze wares, such as tripods, furnaces, and jugs, are not mentioned here. Even some bronze wares that cannot be named will probably look somewhat similar.
But this bronze artifact was different from any bronze artifact Zhou Wen had seen before.
This was the first time Zhou Wen had seen a bronze artifact that looked like a radish. It was a short and fat radish, more than one meter tall. The key point was that there were three leaf-like shapes on the top, making it look like a big radish no matter how you looked at it.
"What the hell is this thing? Could it be a radish grown in the Garden of Eden?" Zhou Wen reached out and knocked on it. It was indeed a metallic sound, but it was hard to say whether it was bronze.
There are many mysterious symbols carved on this bronze artifact, but unfortunately Zhou Wen doesn't know what those symbols mean.
Zhou Wen increased his strength little by little, and finally used up almost all his strength, but he still couldn't hurt this bronze object that looked like a big radish.
"It's really a good thing." His strength is already comparable to that of human-level creatures. Even his strength cannot damage it. Even if it only has material value, it must be a good thing.
"The radishes grown in the Garden of Eden are indeed extraordinary." Zhou Wen did not put the bronze artifact into the chaotic space, but asked the Demon Killer to stay here to guard it.
Check if there is any problem with it first to avoid bringing trouble back.
"Is this the only thing here? Are there any other treasures?" Zhou Wen turned his head and looked at the little beast and asked.
The little beast hesitated for a moment, first glanced in the direction of the cemetery, and finally shook its head, as if it was afraid of something.
