The soil inside the pit looks rather strange; it appears to have crystallized at extremely high temperatures.
"Why do I feel a little chilly?" Pei Mianman subconsciously grabbed Zu An's arm, leaning half her body against him, as if that made her feel safer.
"It is a bit cold." Zuan also found it strange. Logically speaking, when a meteorite falls and rubs against the atmosphere, it should be extremely hot.
There were still traces of burning around, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. But strangely enough, despite everything indicating that it should be hot, the actual experience was one of coldness.
"Be careful, there's often danger near rare treasures," Zuan gently patted her hand as a reminder.
Pei Mianman nodded and became fully alert, ready to make a move at any moment.
The two cautiously entered the pit and walked towards the meteorite in the center. Zuan's mind raced with various thoughts: "Won't there be radiation?"
In my past life, I saw many similar reports, such as meteorites containing radioactive materials, or so-and-so finding a glowing stone and thinking it was a treasure... only to be made to suffer from high doses of radiation and feel like they were dying.
But now that things have come to this, there's no time to worry about that. Let's go check it out first.
The two arrived in front of the huge, dark meteorite, circled it, but didn't see anything special about it. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed to be just an ordinary meteorite, maybe a bit bigger.
Where are the promised rare treasures? Where are the promised serendipitous encounters?
Just then, a sinister laugh rang out: "I didn't expect you two to escape here. What treasure have you found? Hand it over obediently, and perhaps I can spare your lives."
Mosquito Taoist stood at the edge of the pit, coldly staring at the two of them.
Zu An was completely exasperated and couldn't help but sigh, "I must have owed you money in my past life, that's why you're chasing after me so relentlessly in this life."
He planned to talk to her a little longer to buy some time. If he wasn't mistaken, Zhu Xie Chixin and the others should arrive soon.
Mosquito Taoist straightened her somewhat tattered Taoist robe, but no matter how she tried to cover it up, a lot of skin still showed through the holes: "Hmph, I'm not in the mood for banter with you right now. Hand over the treasures you've obtained, or I'll use this woman next to you as my scapegoat. Don't feel bad about it then."
She even decided not to kill Pei Mianman yet, but to use her to force Zu An to hand over the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".
Zu An spread his hands, subtly shielding Pei Mianman behind him, and said, "We just arrived here and have only circled around once. Apart from a meteorite, there's nothing else."
Having learned from his previous experiences, Mosquito Taoist didn't believe him at all and attacked the two of them directly.
Zu'an and Pei Mianman hurriedly picked up their weapons to defend themselves, but unfortunately, without Qiu Honglei's "Changxin Palace Lantern" to restrain them, and with Mosquito Daoist gradually getting used to the two of them, especially Zu'an's strange movement technique and Pei Mianman's special black flames, the two of them were no match for each other when they were on guard.
Pei Mianman's injuries were more severe, and her reaction was slightly slower, so she was beaten by Mosquito Taoist and sent flying, spitting blood.
If she hadn't intended to keep her alive to threaten Zuan, she probably would have died on the spot.
Seeing that she was seriously injured, Zu An instinctively tried to help, but his movements created an opening, which was seized by Mosquito Taoist, who struck him in the chest with a palm.
This time, Mosquito Daoist didn't show the same mercy as she had to Pei Mianman. Having just witnessed this guy's countless full-health resurrections, she knew he must possess a powerful recovery technique. She subconsciously assumed it was the effect of the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," so she no longer held back as much as before.
Zuan felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train, and he fell in a parabola onto the meteorite.
The immense impact caused him to be directly embedded in the meteorite, creating a human-shaped crater.
Even Mosquito Taoist was startled. She wanted to completely subdue Zu An, but not kill him. Was her punch just now really that vicious?
Only Zuan knew best that the meteorite behind him looked like black iron and should have been quite sturdy, but in reality, it was all show and no substance, and its texture was quite brittle.
Just as Mosquito Taoist was about to come over and finish off the two, a series of cracking sounds suddenly rang out in the arena, as if something was breaking.
She couldn't help but stop and stare intently at the huge meteorite behind Zu An. With her cultivation level, she could naturally determine that the sound was coming from inside it.
Judging from this, the other party was probably not lying; they hadn't had time to learn the secret of the meteorite yet.
Extraordinary phenomena always indicate great treasures, but great treasures are often accompanied by great dangers. She is currently injured and must be extremely careful.
"Azu!" Pei Mianman staggered over and pulled Zu'an out of the meteorite. Even such a simple action took almost all her strength, which showed that she was seriously injured.
Zuan pulled his body out of the meteorite, his clothes were tattered and torn, making him look like he came from the Beggars' Sect.
However, he had no time to worry about himself. Instead, he turned around to look at the meteorite behind him and saw cracks appearing around the human-shaped crater. At first, there were only one or two cracks, but soon there were more and more, and finally the entire outer layer of the meteorite was covered with cracks.
Then the huge meteorite suddenly cracked open and broke into countless small pieces.
Then, amidst the pile of fragments, a pitch-black stone tablet was revealed, engraved with two strange patterns that resembled neither words nor paintings. Pei Mianman prided himself on being quite knowledgeable, but he had never seen any race in the world with such writing.
