Gu Shi weighed the gray square box in his hand. It was quite heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.
It is a bit of a stretch to call it a box, because from the outside, this rectangular wooden block does not have any obvious place to open, but there are some messy patterns on the surface of the wood.
Probably due to improper preservation, it looks tattered overall, so the patterns on it may not be real patterns, but may be simple signs of damage.
The reason why Gu Shi called it a box was because its weight was wrong. If it were made of ordinary wood, it would not be this heavy when held in the hand, so there must be something else hidden in this square box.
Gu Shi raised the box to his ear and shook it. Several very subtle collision sounds reached his ears. His judgment was indeed correct. There was something else in the box.
Gu Shi took the box in his hand and explored it with great interest.
Although there are many ways to easily break through this layer of wood and take out the things inside, he is not in a hurry now. It is better to enjoy the fun of exploration.
After turning the box over and over and touching every corner inch by inch, Gu Shi spent some time and finally succeeded in removing a small part from it.
The structure of this box is a bit like some kind of mortise and tenon structure. After removing the first part, the rest is much simpler.
Gu Shi dismantled several small parts one after another, and finally he took the remaining main part in his palm, and pushed it hard with both hands to the left and right -
"Hiss——" Gu Shi suddenly gasped.
A small dagger flashing with cold light was lying quietly in the dark box, and the edge of its blade was stained with a dazzling red.
Due to Gu Shi's previous action, the sharp blade of the dagger cut a long gash on his right hand.
The defenseless Gu Shi subconsciously swung his hand, and with his movement, bright red blood drew an arc in the air and landed on the three treasures beside him.
Gu Shi had not expected that there was a dagger in the box. Accidentally injured, he treated his wound immediately and then prepared to destroy the blood that had been spilled.
Who knows, something unexpected happened.
Gu Shi turned his head and saw that the three things that were originally placed beside him suddenly floated up in the air, and there were many bright red blood beads surrounding them.
Gu Shi realized that something was wrong and immediately took out his staff. He quickly cast several defensive spells in the room and then took out a lot of alchemical items from his space ring.
Only after he had arranged the entire room like a turtle shell did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Only then did Gu Shi have time to look at the three things floating in the air.
Noticing the small blood beads floating around them, he muttered to himself in confusion, "So the key to this matter is blood? But it's not like I haven't tried blood recognition before, right?"
Gu Shi’s work in the previous month was not in vain. He had tried almost every method he could think of, including the classic method of blood dripping to recognize the owner. He had tried it long ago.
But for some reason, they didn't respond at that time, so Gu Shi ruled out this possibility.
Who would have known that these three things would react to his blood.
Forget it, let’s not think too much about it.
Gu Shi shook his head and focused all his attention on the three floating treasures, but he stared at them for a long time and didn't find that they showed any sign of continuing to change.
The three treasures just floated quietly in the air, motionless like a painting.
Gu Shi frowned, "What's going on? This shouldn't be happening."
Is it possible that some conditions are missing?
In this state, Gu Shi didn't dare to move them easily, for fear that he would accidentally destroy the opportunity he had been looking for for a long time.
Gu Shi sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a while, then suddenly reached out and picked up the dagger, and stabbed his left arm again with it.
Bright red blood gushed out of the wound one after another. After leaving Gu Shi's body, it seemed as if summoned by some mysterious power and flowed towards the direction of the three treasures in the air.
The blood gathered into a small river, winding and flowing in the air.
The blood kept flowing upwards from his arm, creating a terrifying and weird picture. If the lighting was a little dimmer, it would have been a scene from a horror movie.
"Sure enough, it's because the blood volume is not enough."
Looking at the blood that was still flowing out, Gu Shi sighed and resigned himself to his fate before drinking the potion.
Fortunately, he encountered a different world. With the support of magic and potions, Gu Shi was barely able to withstand the terrifying amount of blood loss. If it were the previous Blue Star, he would not be able to hold on for long and would have gone into shock due to excessive blood loss.
After about ten minutes, Gu Shi's blood finally stopped being drawn. He healed the wound on his arm, and then began to stare at the three treasures intently.
After obtaining enough blood from Gu Shi, the three treasures emitted a faint light at the same time.
The blood that originally surrounded them began to change, and under their pull, a complex pattern outlined by blood gradually emerged.
Gu Shi naturally didn't recognize this pattern, but he reacted quickly and took out a pen and paper from his space ring and quickly sketched on it.
When the complete pattern emerged, the three treasures seemed to have eyes, automatically found their positions, and flew towards the pattern.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light flashed.
A ray of white light shot out from each of the three treasures. These rays of light converged at the center of the pattern, intertwined and merged with each other, forming a strange ball of light.
Gu Shi narrowed his eyes. Although his vision could not penetrate the light, he could vaguely feel that something was quietly being born in that ball of light.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but suddenly several clicking sounds were heard in succession in the originally quiet room.
Gu Shi was shocked. He looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that cracks were beginning to appear on the three treasures!
As time passed, the cracking sounds did not stop, but became more frequent.
The three treasures began to show more and more cracks. They gradually lost their former luster and strength, and became something that would break at the slightest touch.
