After accepting this premise, I felt like my scalp was about to tingle.

This thing is a bit too outrageous, isn't it? It really is the cane that Blue Armor was holding before.

Although I can't figure out whether it's a cane or a walking stick, the patterns on it are definitely similar.

I stared at the spine in my hand, which was cracked and radiating some energy.

I quickly let go, and this time I was able to let go.

Even though I tried so hard to throw it away, it felt like it was stuck to my hand, and my hand was always open.

At that moment, the severed spine fell to the ground with a thud and began to spin in place, with the patterns on it becoming more and more numerous.

Some of the patterns and stone chips on the surface suddenly fell off!

Within seconds, I discovered that the bluish-gray surface had completely faded away.

Moreover, what was just a spine, segment by segment, is now slowly changing, revealing a wood-like texture in its shape.

The patterns on it slowly wrapped around the spine, eventually turning into something that resembled a cane!

Holy crap, I was completely shocked.

I never even considered this. I can't accept that even though these ancient people are already dead, the things they left behind are still slowly changing.

This couldn't possibly be the energy within him. If people in ancient times all had such methods, then they would be far too powerful.

My heart started pounding.

They were even afraid that this guy might suddenly come to life and launch a direct attack on us.

After all, how come this thing is still slowly moving even after the ancients have died?

But before I could even get a good look at its original form, the spine cane snapped in two again with a crack!

One section shattered into extremely fine wood chips at an incredibly fast speed, which then dispersed into the dark blood.

Only one section remains, which is entirely in the shape of a cane.

The girl and I stared wide-eyed at the scene, completely unable to believe it.

This thing is a bit too outrageous, I thought to myself.

Staring at the wood chips on the ground, my heart was pounding. Then I glanced at the girl and couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

"I didn't expect this thing to actually be related to Blue Armor; it really is his cane!"

The girl nodded to me.

I really can't believe it. What started as just a guess about the Thunder Strike Sword, possibly related to the Blue Armor, has now actually become that thing!

No, to be precise, it didn't become, but rather truly degenerated!

In other words, it is very possible that one of the original raw materials used to form this ancient person was the walking stick that Lan Jia used.

My heart was filled with turmoil.

At this moment, the girl slowly squatted down and carefully touched the wood chips.

I quickly told her to stop, but the girl smiled at me and said that the wood chips were already cold.

ah?

My heart sank. It was so hot just now, how could it have cooled down now?

I used my Heavenly Eye to check, and at this moment there was indeed no energy fluctuation in the room. I couldn't even see a trace of black energy on the cane.

The girl looked up at me, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Brother, how did this blue-armored cane turn into the spine of this ancient person? Is it trying to tell us something?"

The girl's tone was full of confusion. I didn't say anything, I just stared at the spot where the crumbs were scattered.

The dark blood on top was still slowly spreading outwards.

The blood around the wood chips had faded somewhat, as if it had been absorbed!

Even if the cane that was formed from the spine were reduced to dust, it would still dilute the surrounding energy.

I was deeply moved, which meant that my previous guess was definitely correct.

As long as we get close to this mural, or close to this ancient person, he will cause some loss or take away our vital energy.

This broken cane is the best proof of that.

If it weren't for this thing, we probably wouldn't have paid any attention to it at all. Suddenly, a slight tremor came from underground.

The wood chips, along with the faded blood around them, slowly sank in.

The substance disappeared completely within seconds, and the darker blood flowing from under our feet now looked like it had gone down a drain.

The spot where the wood chips had just caused the violent tremor quickly seeped down, leaving me speechless with astonishment.

"This thing is actually draining water, releasing this energy!"

I spoke quickly, and the girl nodded.

I was somewhat shocked; this thing actually drained all the blood from my body.

Since it's arranged downwards, it means there's another passage below.

If it's a place that specifically handles waste, then we absolutely must not go there.

But then an even bolder idea popped into my head.

If this thing really is an export item, then we could just go in through here.

Maybe we can really escape through this place. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the blue-armored man's clothes probably seeped in from here, but we just didn't see it.

I shared this idea with the girl, and she asked why the blue armor could seep into it.

This is clearly blood that has already spread across the ground, so it's normal that it can seep down.

But the blue armor was just one piece of clothing.

I smiled at the girl and then said to her, "If even this spine can be broken, why can't that blue-armored garment be broken too?"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately nodded.

I watched as the thick, dark blood slowly seeped through the cracks in the stone slab.

The same applies to the wood chips.

With a thud, the splinter of wood sank in along with the blood.

I stared at that thing and couldn't figure out how it got in at all; there were no holes!

As the scum and blood all flowed in, all that remained before us was the remains of that ancient man, along with this walking stick.

However, a shallow indentation was left where the seepage had just occurred.

I was staring blankly at the dent when suddenly a green light flashed before my eyes. The cane from before was glowing again!

Is this thing going to turn into ash again?

I hesitated for a moment, then quickly moved the thing away from me, being very cautious.
