Because it was night, the moon in the night sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and it was so dark outside that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
These people were holding searchlights and searching on the other side of the mountain.
They searched for more than an hour and only found a white jade pendant on the mountain road.
However, the jade pendant already had many cracks and was slightly gray in color.
They put the jade pendant on the expedition team's public channel and asked everyone if they recognized it.
Then it was recognized by Sugi Jingsheng's teammates. This was the jade pendant that Sugi Jingsheng had always worn around his neck. It was said to be a family heirloom jade pendant given to him by Sugi Jingsheng's mother.
Schmiller from the Western Manelli Federation said: "Jingsheng Jun treasures this jade pendant very much. We are not allowed to touch it normally. He will even glare back if we even look at it."
Wake, also from the Western Maneli Federation, said: "Yes, the shape of this jade pendant is very unique, and the jade is also very good. My family has a jade mine, so I know the value of this jade pendant."
"The chain of this jade pendant is also made of very good material. It won't break easily."
"Jingsheng Jun is definitely not someone who would just throw this jade pendant away."
After hearing this, everyone started to think divergently.
"If I didn't drop it myself, and he didn't throw it away, then how did this jade pendant end up on the mountain road?"
"Look, this jade pendant has many cracks on it, and it's even gray. Based on my limited knowledge of Feng Shui, this jade pendant is used to ward off evil spirits!"
"Do you have to be so outrageous?! You're even saying you're warding off evil spirits... I even saw a ghost!"
"Hey! Don't disbelieve it! This thing is weird!"
"Bah! I only believe in science, don't be alarmist!"
Amidst everyone's chatter, Xia Chujian asked his teammates in his team's private chat channel.
"Do you believe in warding off evil spirits?"
Mai Aotuo and Fan Ruisi both expressed disbelief.
Chen Yanjun, Jiang Sheng, Fang Chengliang, Wu Hang, Song Baotai and Yao Pingle expressed doubts.
But Liang Peng said, "I believe it. My family has been engaged in mineral exploration for generations."
"My great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and my uncle all encountered some incredible things during their exploration that could not be explained by science."
"They all carry amulets and jade pendants like this to help ward off evil."
Xia Chujian was very curious and asked, "Does it work?"
Liang Peng quickly said, "Of course it works!"
"My great-grandfather and grandfather both died in a mine on an asteroid. I don't know what caused it, but the amulets they carried with them were burnt and the jade pendants they wore were cracked. They look very similar to what's happening here with Sugi Jingsheng."
Xia Chujian said regretfully: "That means it couldn't be blocked..."
Liang Peng was choked for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said angrily: "Captain Xia is right. It didn't block it, but at least it shows that it still works!"
"Maybe the amulet and jade pendant were of poor quality, that's why they didn't block it."
Xia Chujian said, "Liang Peng's words make sense. So where can we get high-quality amulets and jade pendants to ward off evil?"
"Also, what constitutes high quality? Is there a tiered system in this market?"
"Just like our genetic evolution level?"
Liang Peng scratched his head and said, "I don't know the details. My family bought them for me."
As he spoke, he also took out an amulet and a jade pendant and said, "This is what my mother prepared for me!"
Xia Chujian and his teammates looked over curiously.
Although Shan Jingsheng's jade pendant is full of cracks and gray in color, when compared with Liang Peng's jade pendant, it is clear that Shan Jingsheng's is a true masterpiece.
The jade is there, it’s a real good thing, there’s no need to worry about comparison.
Xia Chujian sighed, "Shan Jingsheng's jade pendant must be of very high quality, but it still couldn't block it... We have to be more careful."
She patted her sniper rifle and said, "My amulet will always be my mecha and sniper rifle."
The teammates started to make a noise: "Team Xia's second-generation mecha is not Team Xia's only one?! - The second-generation mecha should cry!"
