Those people and strange beasts who were trying to snatch the rare treasure did not make any moves in tacit understanding. They kept still and just looked at the rare treasure.
After a while, the energy river surrounding the ice-blue flower began to dim, and the energy fluctuations above the entire swamp became weaker.
Suddenly, the people around the swamp became agitated. They walked into the swamp one after another, exerting their various spiritual powers in an attempt to get the rare treasure first.
Looking at the group of people or strange beasts below who were scrambling for the first place, Ji Yuan squatted on the ground, not in a hurry at all. Beside him, Feng Qingyue stood there with her arms folded, leisurely as if the fierce fighting below had nothing to do with her.
Looking at the fierce battle below, Feng Qingyue took a step forward. Seeing her movement, Ji Yuan stood up quickly and followed her.
Feng Qingyue was about to jump down to join the fight when the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
The swamp began to rise and fall, and the people and strange beasts standing in it began to lose their balance with the ups and downs of the swamp. The ice-blue flower suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Along with the dazzling light, there appeared an extremely terrifying mental pressure.
The swamp seemed to be awakened by that spiritual power. Mud tentacles suddenly shot out from the swamp and accurately attached themselves to the strange beasts and people in the swamp.
One person's hand had already touched the rare treasure, and a hint of ecstasy just appeared in his eyes. The next second, the ice-blue flower suddenly disappeared.
A strange vortex appeared in the place of the flower, and a pitch-black hole was faintly visible in the middle of the vortex, like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting to swallow its prey.
The swamp began to collapse, gradually revealing its true face that contained murderous intent.
Rows of sharp blades emerged from the mud of the swamp, surrounding the location where the ice-blue flower appeared, looking extremely terrifying.
Those people and various strange beasts were entangled by the mud tentacles and had no time to break free. Those who were lucky fell into the dark hole, while those who were unlucky were crushed by the high-speed moving sharp blades.
The change only lasted for a moment. The screams and the sound of flesh being cut disappeared almost instantly. The ice-blue flower bloomed in the breeze, and the swamp was silent, as if the massacre just now was just an illusion.
Feng Qingyue and Ji Yuan looked at each other in surprise, but there was no reason for them to let go of what they had obtained. Feng Qingyue jumped down from the hill with a light figure.
Feng Qingyue landed gently on the swamp ground, and a blue ice flower appeared under her feet, firmly supporting the little girl's body.
She walked towards the rare treasure gracefully, step by step, and with every step, an ice flower bloomed under her feet.
On the path where the gods walk, lotus flowers bloom at every step.
Feng Qingyue grabbed the stem of the strange treasure with her small hand, and then with a force, she pulled out the center of the strange treasure.
Looking at the rare treasure that was held obediently in her hand, Feng Qingyue shook it towards Ji Yuan and said cheerfully, "It's quite obedient."
As soon as he finished speaking, the swamp suddenly began a new round of shaking.
Feng Qingyue hurriedly stuffed the rare treasure into her arms, then pushed hard with her feet, jumped out of the swamp, and easily jumped onto the hillside.
Seeing that the little girl was safe, Ji Yuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and protected the little girl behind him, watching vigilantly for the abnormal movements below.
In the middle of the swamp, a pipe-like object appeared. The middle of the object was bulging, as if it was wrapped in something.
After a while, accompanied by a crackling sound, a pile of bright red, scarred bones fell from the middle and scattered all over the ground.
Mud tentacles stretched out from the swamp, wrapped all the bones, and stuffed them into the swamp.
Feng Qingyue and Ji Yuan looked at each other, and she said softly, "I don't know what that is."
Ji Yuan smiled and agreed, "I don't know either. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Theoretically, the purpose of their trip has been achieved. As long as this strange thing does not threaten the core interests of the Federation and the lord-level beasts, they can simply choose to ignore it.
But Feng Qingyue was a girl who loved to watch the fun. She stared at the mysterious swamp with her eyes filled with interest.
As soon as Ji Yuan saw the little girl's expression, he knew what she was thinking. He jumped down first, stood on the swamp, and turned to look at Feng Qingyue: "Come on."
Feng Qingyue raised her eyebrows and jumped down with him.
They stood at the place where the vortex had just appeared, thinking about how to go down and find out what was going on.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Feng Qingyue took out the rare treasure Liuxin. Sensing the breath of the rare treasure, the swamp began to move.
Seeing the vortex appear as she wished, Feng Qingyue stuffed the rare treasure back. She fumbled around Ji Yuan's chest for a while until she grabbed his collar and pulled him into the vortex.
It was pitch black in the vortex, and one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face. Feng Qingyue's eyes flashed with golden light as she quickly adapted to this dark environment.
A flash of lightning appeared at Ji Yuan's fingertips, and the lightning spread downwards, illuminating the environment they were in.
After falling for an unknown amount of time, Ji Yuan landed first. Just as he was about to reach out and hug the little girl, she had already landed safely.
Seeing that the little girl didn't need him at all, Ji Yuan withdrew his hand with some regret.
What should I do if my wife is too capable and doesn’t need me anymore?
Waiting online, it's urgent.
Feng Qingyue waved her right hand, and soft, light blue balls of light flew outward. Those balls of light continued to illuminate the surrounding environment. The more Feng Qingyue looked, the more outrageous it seemed.
Beneath their feet were countless layers of bright red bones. Those bones piled there were like a sad song of the fall of life, playing the final chapter of the soul.
The surrounding walls were crookedly carved with strange symbols, which were bright red in color. Some liquid was still sliding down the walls, looking extremely fresh.
Feng Qingyue reached out and touched a drop of liquid, then leaned in to smell it and came to a conclusion: "This is blood, very fresh."
Ji Yuan nodded. He looked at the symbols on the wall thoughtfully, scanned them with his optical computer, and used big data comparison to find relevant information.
The Federation's technology was far ahead, and the search speed was incredibly fast. Ji Yuan looked at the search results on the computer and became even more puzzled. "This is a sacrificial ritual of a cult on the ancient Blue Star. It can bring the dead back to life."
Hearing the man's explanation, Feng Qingyue raised an eyebrow: "How can anyone still believe in this kind of thing these days? What era is this?"
Ji Yuan agreed: "It is indeed difficult to understand. This so-called ritual is extremely bloody and requires countless lives as stepping stones. Those believers believe that only by feeding their Lord will their Lord bless them and resurrect the dead."
Feng Qingyue thought for a moment and said, "It seems...those people are using the rare treasures as bait, luring in batches of people who want the treasures and then killing them.
I was wondering why the Strange Treasure Heart would grow in the center of a swamp. It must be a trap."
