Chapter 242 Mystic Crystal
"It can save lives, don't underestimate it," Shu Ning explained.
"It's just a broken rock, what life can it save? Don't think I'm easy to bully!" After saying that, he lunged at Shu Ning again.
"You're asking for death." Seeing this, Xiao Chong pulled Shu Ning behind him and immediately transformed into his original form to fight and tear into her.
After several rounds, the orc realized he couldn't beat Xiao Chong, so he retreated to the side, panting heavily and trembling all over.
When Shu Ning saw Xiao Chong stop in front of her, she went up to him and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Xiao Chong?"
Xiao Chong's fierce expression changed immediately upon seeing Shu Ning, and he said with a gentle look, "It's alright."
The orc opposite him was not so calm at the moment. He looked at the wounds on his body, some of which were still bleeding.
His pupils dilated instantly when he saw the blood, and the more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.
"You all bully me..." he said, tears welling up in his eyes. After transforming into human form, he sat on the ground, hugging himself and crying so hard that his body was shaking.
Shu Ning frowned when she saw that his current appearance was completely different from when he was shouting and threatening to kill her.
“This…” Shu Ning looked at Xiao Chong, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Ignore him, let's go." Xiao Chong pulled her away.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the orc immediately stood up and shouted, "Don't go!"
Xiao Chong paused, his head tilted slightly, his eyes sharp, and his whole body exuding a cold aura.
Upon seeing this, the orc swallowed hard and took a step back.
Seeing that he was scared, Xiao Chong continued to leave.
After seeing Xiao Chong leave, the orc immediately let out a very low sound.
Although the sound was not loud, the frequency was not low. After a while, the nearby beastmen heard the sound and immediately swam over from all directions.
"Oh no, he's called for reinforcements!" Shu Ning exclaimed as she saw a large number of various orcs surging up from above and around.
Seeing that the area around them was now filled with ferocious orcs, Xiao Chong looked at them coldly and whispered to Shu Ning, "Don't be afraid."
"Who's bullying my little brother?" a voice came from behind.
Shu Ning looked up and saw a blue-skinned orc with fish fins on its ears swimming to the side of the orc on the other side.
"Brother, it was them! They not only ruined the pearl, but they also injured me!" The orc, who had been crying just moments before, pointed at Xiao Chong and the others.
Upon seeing the orc beside him, the blue orc frowned and said unhurriedly, "Well, you dare to cause trouble in the Eastern Sea. I see you've got some nerve."
"Don't try to twist the truth," Shu Ning said. "It was indeed me who damaged your pearls, but you refused to compensate me and even insisted on killing us."
"You think you can compensate me for my pearls with a broken stone? Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" the orc said with tears in his eyes.
“Take a closer look, is this a broken stone?” she said, taking out the object in her hand again to show them.
"That's just a broken rock," an orc said after seeing it.
“Yeah, boss, stop wasting your breath on them,” another orc said.
"etc."
The blue orc frowned upon seeing what Shu Ning was holding.
He had recently heard about a female wolf and several males going to the East Sea, and he had long heard about the appearance of the Mystic Crystal Stone by the Jiao Clan.
Could she be the female who brought the Xuanjing Stone to the Jiao Clan?
Thinking of this, his eyes deepened, and he murmured, "Hiss..."
"What's that thing in your hand called?" he asked.
Shu Ning wanted to say the name directly, but she was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble for the wolf clan.
"This is something I developed myself, made from soaking hundreds of herbs. It can save lives when someone is dying, except in cases where the neck is severed," she explained.
Upon hearing this, the other orcs began to question her words.
“That’s a lie,” one of the orcs said. “There’s no such thing in the world.”
“That’s right, boss, she’ll say anything. Don’t believe her nonsense, it might be some kind of poison,” another orc warned.
When the blue orc heard Shu Ning's words, he realized that he had never heard of the Xuanjing Stone, which could save orcs on the verge of death. He had only heard from the Jiaozuo Clan that it had many functions.
"Bring it here so I can take a look," he said in a calm and unquestionable tone.
"Boss, don't believe her," the injured orc beside him quickly said after seeing him being tempted.
“Yeah, boss, females are the most cunning,” one of the orcs said, reminding him that his boss was attracted to the female’s appearance.
“If you ask me, kill them all, then take them and look at them,” another orc said fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong stared at the orc who had spoken.
The orc, though displeased by Xiao Chong's gaze, somehow kept quiet.
Shu Ning threw the black stone in her hand directly at the blue orc.
The black stone they were talking about emitted a rainbow of colors when it was illuminated by the light from the other pearls nearby, making it even more beautiful than the other pearls that had been emitting white light.
"Wow……"
Many orcs gasped in surprise upon seeing it.
Upon seeing the blue orc whose black stone, which had been thrown at him, now glowed, a hint of surprise flashed in his blue eyes.
He quickly took the black stone.
"Boss—" the orcs who had been worried shouted in unison.
The moment the blue orc received the black stone, he felt as if a power was coursing through his body.
He closed his eyes and felt the power; it was a feeling even more comfortable than when he was near the dragon vein.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the old ailments in his body had been cured, and his originally tired body was slowly regaining its strength.
He was born of the Jiaolong and Snake clans, and he could also sense the energy brought by the Xuanjing Stone.
Seeing this, the other orcs held their breath and watched intently.
A moment later, the blue orc opened his eyes, his blue pupils instantly filling with light.
"Ha..." He looked at the mystic crystal in his hand with admiration.
I don't know how to describe this feeling. I feel completely refreshed and full of energy. Even the strands of hair on my head have a more vibrant blue sheen.
"Boss, how is it?" one of the orcs asked after seeing the blue orc open his eyes.
Everyone else looked at him intently as well.
Shu Ning was surprised that he could absorb the energy of the Mystic Crystal Stone like the Jiaolong Clan. Wasn't it said that only the Jiaolong Clan could absorb the energy of the Mystic Crystal Stone...?
"It's good stuff," the blue orc concluded confidently.
When Shu Ning saw that he hadn't mentioned that it was a mysterious crystal, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that he was keeping it a secret.
She looked at him and said, "Am I right?"
"Hmm," the blue orc replied, then said to the injured orc beside him, "Little brother, she didn't lie to you, this is indeed not an ordinary stone."
The wounded orc beside him said in disbelief, "Brother, I..."
