"Auntie, I saw some weapons and armor, and they're not low-grade. Should we take them?" Pei Mianman came to Zu An's side, but after waiting for a long time without any response, she hurriedly tugged at his sleeve. "Auntie?"
"Huh?" Zuan finally came to his senses and realized that the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" Pei Mianman touched his forehead with the back of her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it so cold?"
The women from other places rushed over upon hearing the commotion, each looking at him with concern.
"It's nothing." Zuan didn't tell them about his discovery, since time was of the essence and it was too complicated to explain in a few words, lest they worry.
Seeing that he was gradually recovering, everyone was relieved and then began to take stock of their discoveries.
Ji Xiaoxi said, "With the help of my aunt and the princess, I found a lot of useful books and medicinal herbs."
"Sister Yun also helped me find some useful array formation manuals." Xie Daoyun held several jade slips in her hand, a faint smile on her face.
Having already grasped the secrets of spatial transformation, many of the space-related classics in this treasure trove are no longer of much use to her.
After careful selection, only these runic texts from other fields were somewhat helpful.
Zuan nodded: "It's good that we've made some progress. Let's leave here quickly, the Demon Lord will be back soon."
"Aren't you going to search a little more?" Pei Mianman found it a bit strange. They hadn't been in there for very long, and they should still have some time. Why was Azu in such a hurry to leave?
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Zuan put the jade slip containing the "Resurrection Technique" back and prepared to reset the previous defensive formation. He couldn't let the Demon Lord know that he had discovered this secret.
"Huh?" Just as he put the "Resurrection Secret Technique" back, he suddenly noticed something strange about the wall.
He reached out and probed with his spiritual energy, immediately sensing a hidden compartment behind the wall. The stone in the wall was made of a special material that could block divine senses, which explained why he hadn't discovered the space behind it at first.
He fumbled around for a while and quickly opened a hidden compartment, taking out a strangely shaped stone the size of a palm.
It resembled jade but was not jade, and it resembled stone but was not stone. Even with the extensive knowledge of those present, they could not immediately recognize its material.
The shape of the stone resembles the face of some kind of animal, but it's too blurry for anyone to tell what animal it is.
"Huh, I think I've seen this before." Xie Daoyun suddenly exclaimed softly, and couldn't help but take the strange stone from Zu An's hands.
"You've seen it before?" Zu'an was somewhat surprised. His younger sister was indeed very knowledgeable.
"I don't know either, but looking at this gives me a strange sense of familiarity." Xie Daoyun gently stroked the stone with her delicate hand, her expression utterly bewildered.
"I remember now, I've seen this pattern before when we worship our ancestors in our clan," Soren Shi suddenly slapped his forehead and said with delight.
"Sacrificing to the ancestors of the demon race?" Zu An's heart stirred. It seemed that the demon race and this demon world really did have an unusual connection.
Just then, the strange rock suddenly emitted a faint glow, and the entire rock trembled slightly.
Jiang Luofu exclaimed, "This situation seems to be related to someone or someone in this area who is connected to us by blood."
Xie Daoyun seemed to understand something and hurriedly looked at Suolunshi: "Princess, could you lend me a drop of your blood to put on it?"
“Of course, no problem.” Sorenshi was quite nonchalant, scratching his finger with his nail and squeezing out a few drops of blood that fell onto the stone.
The few drops of blood were instantly absorbed by the stone, and then a faint bloodline spread across the surface of the strange rock, gradually making the originally blurry animal face clear.
"A fox?" Zu An's heart skipped a beat. This fox face was somewhat different from others, possessing a charming and alluring quality.
He couldn't help but think of the alluring Queen Tu Shanyu of Qingqiu. This stone was related to the demon race, and he wondered if it had any connection with the Qingqiu fox clan.
While he was stunned for a moment, the surface of the stone suddenly shattered inch by inch, and then quickly fell off piece by piece, revealing the green jade inside.
Just then, Zu'an suddenly sensed a chaotic spatial fluctuation around him. His expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quickly throw that rock away!"
But it was too late. Xie Daoyun was turning to look at him in confusion when the stone in her hand suddenly turned into a black hole.
Almost instantly, the black hole grew to the size of a person. Before Xie Daoyun could react, she was sucked into the black hole, and the entire black hole disappeared at the same time.
With a ripping sound, Zu An stared at the corner of the sleeve in his hand, his face turning ashen. Everything had happened so suddenly that even with his cultivation level, he hadn't had time to react. He had only managed to grab the corner of the other party's sleeve at the last moment, but unfortunately, the suction force of the mysterious black hole was too great, and the sleeve simply couldn't withstand such a pull.
Zuan now had some knowledge of spatial arrays, and he hurriedly tried to reopen the spatial tunnel through the array. A black hole-like space opened again, but his expression was very ugly. He could sense that there was nothing behind this space, and it was not the same black hole as before.
In spatial teleportation, even the slightest error can lead to drastically different outcomes.
The women around them were also stunned by the scene before them, never expecting such a turn of events.
"Auntie, where did Sister Xie go?" Pei Mianman asked anxiously.
"That black hole just now seemed to be some kind of special space tunnel?" Jiang Luofu had spent many years in the academy and was quite knowledgeable.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dripped blood on it just now." Sorenshi's face was pale, and her eyes were full of self-blame.
