On the three walls of the cave, rows of stone shelves were carved out, but the items on them had been mostly cleared out and were almost empty.
It seems that the owner of the cave took all the useful things with him when he left.
Ji Fengyao searched around but didn't find anything of particular value, so she turned to Cao Xiaosi and asked, "Xiaosi, is the wall you felt was inside this cave?"
Cao Xiaosi also looked around carefully and shook his head: "No, it should still be behind this stone wall."
After confirming again, Cao Xiaosi pointed to the lower right side of the stone wall directly opposite the entrance: "It's right behind here."
Ji Fengyao and her group now had complete faith in Cao Xiaosi's abilities. Hearing him say this, they all took out their weapons and carefully began to dig into the stone wall.
"bite!"
Suddenly, Shang Xiye's sword tip seemed to strike some metal, producing a crisp sound.
However, when they dug, the swords were imbued with spiritual energy, so much so that it was no exaggeration to say that they could cut iron into mud. Even if they dug into metal, there would not be such a crisp clanging sound.
"We've found it!" Ji Fengyao asked, her phoenix eyes shining.
Shang Xiye nodded: "I'm afraid so."
Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, and the others quickly stepped back, leaving more space for Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao.
Ji Fengming urged curiously, "Hurry up and dig, let's see what kind of treasure it is?"
Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye didn't need his urging; they sped up the digging process.
But after they cleared away a pile of rubble, they found nothing behind it, just some darker black stones.
Ji Fengming was dumbfounded: "After digging for so long, all we find are stones?"
“This stone is extraordinary.” Shang Xiye used the tip of his sword to poke the black stone a few more times, but the sword tip did not penetrate at all. Instead, it made a crisp clanging sound, just like the previous sound.
Black Owl stepped forward and tried to strike the black stone twice with his sword. The stone made a crisp metallic clanging sound, but it didn't leave a mark. "It's extraordinary. This stone is a hundred times stronger than ordinary stone. It can be used to make armor to cover vital parts for self-defense. But it's so hard, how to mine it and how to make it is a big problem."
"Let me give it a try," Ji Fengyao said, and then casually dug out a few daggers from the spot next to her.
A large number of rubble fell, revealing the edges of the black stone.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Shang Xiye then dug a few more times on the other side of the black stone. As a large amount of rubble fell, the edge of the black stone was revealed.
Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye, with perfect understanding, also dug in two other directions, and the full appearance of the black stone was revealed to the inhabitants: it was only about the size of two adult palms, completely black, and without any patterns.
"That's strange. I clearly feel like it's a wall, so why is it only this big?" Cao Xiaosi was extremely puzzled. Even now that he could see the whole black stone, he still felt that there was a wall in front of him that his senses could not overcome.
Ji Chenhai and Cao Jinchang stood at the very back of the children, both feeling a bit strange:
“My dear in-law, don’t you have a strange feeling?” Cao Jinchang asked.
"You mean, the children are right in front of you, but it feels like there's no one there?" Ji Chenhai replied, equally puzzled.
