"Boss, no way, should I do it?" With my status, how could I possibly carry this senior? Guo Ran was so scared he almost wet himself.
Although this senior didn't seem like a bad person, he was already a corpse. Guo Ran wasn't afraid of the corpse, but his eyes were terrifying.
Thinking about having eyes like that staring at the back of his head, Guo Ran shivered.
"You don't have to carry it, I'll carry it. If you encounter any danger, you can step in first." Long Chen said calmly.
"Forget it, forget it, let me handle it!"
Guo Ran gritted his teeth, but still felt a tingling scalp as he picked up the old man on his back. The old man's body was stiff and he couldn't carry him properly, so he had to tie the old man to himself.
Guo Ran knew that if Long Chen carried the old man on his back to take care of him, and if something dangerous ran into it that would affect his performance, it was better for him to carry him.
To ease the shadow in his heart, Guo Ran summoned his armor and wrapped himself up, giving him a greater sense of security.
"Little hero, this is my wife's keepsake. Take it, and it will lead you to her." After speaking, the old man extended his left hand to him.
But the old man clenched his fist tightly and refused to let go. Long Chen was momentarily stunned. The old man said, "
My hand can't be opened anymore. Could you please help me take it out?" The old man said.
"Sorry to offend you."
Long Chen looked at the old man's withered fist, apologized, and reached out to pry off his fingers.
"Crack"—
a finger was snapped, and from the gap in the old man's fist, a delicate silver hairpin was pulled out.
The hairpin was very small, only about two inches long, engraved with exquisite patterns and carrying an aura of chaos.
A small hairpin, yet imbued with ancient chaotic energy, shocked everyone. It must be an extraordinary divine artifact.
On the tip of the hairpin, a delicate flower was crafted, forming petals, each with a different color. This was a flower never seen before. At the center of the flower was a crystal bead, and inside the bead was a delicate pointer that kept moving until it pointed to a specific spot.
"This is the depths of the Sky Burial, just the place we're heading to." Mo Nian glanced at the pointer, then at the map in his hand.
After handing the hairpin to Long Chen, the old man also handed the long staff in his hand to Guo Ran and said, "
This is my weapon. Please hold it for me too!"
Guo Ran was overjoyed, thinking the old man had given him his weapon. Just as he was about to thank him, the old man said, "
This weapon can only be activated by the eye technique. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"Ah... What are you saying? Disappointment or not, being able to carry you behind your back is my lifelong honor. Although Guo Ran was disappointed, he couldn't show it.
Holding the long staff, he found that the seemingly heavy staff seemed weightless, extremely strange.
He handed the staff to Guo. The old man's eyes began to dimm, and his entire aura vanished, as if he had died completely.
Long Chen definitely didn't believe that this old man who had survived since the ancient era would die so easily. The group continued onward.
"Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros"
had barely gone far when Yue Xiaoqian saw a massive skeleton and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros?" Ancient Remnants? Rhinoceros horn can easily break through spaces, such as cutting paper pieces? Mo Nian was shocked. Clearly, he had also heard of the Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros, a legendary existence that had long since gone extinct.
"Not so sure, just look at the rhino horn and you'll know." Yue Xiaoqian hurried to the front of the skeleton and dug through the soil.
The Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros was not very large, only about ten zhang tall. Its head was buried in the sand. Though its body was shriveled, its aura was still astonishing.
Soon, a massive rhino horn about three feet long came into view. Seeing the horn, everyone gasped in surprise.
Rhinoceros horn was smooth as jade, covered with countless patterns, like a beautiful ornament, faintly sensing energy fluctuations within.
"Treasure!"
Mo Nian couldn't help but swallow. He was a man who knew good things; this thing was definitely a tremendous treasure.
Yue Xiaoqian touched the rhino horn with her delicate hand and finally found a fine line three inches from the nasal bone at the very bottom.
Long Chen hurriedly took out a black dagger, but Yue Xiaoqian shook her head: "The Moonwatching Divine Rhinoceros is a spiritual beast of heaven and earth, and its horns are spiritual objects too. They must not be tainted by slaughter weapons, or they will lose their spiritual power."
Now, after countless years, the spiritual energy left inside the Moonwatching Divine Rhino Horn is very limited. If you cut it with your dagger, this horn will be completely destroyed. "
Whoa, so many fussses? Thank goodness you came, otherwise this treasure would have been destroyed in our hands. Mo Nian couldn't help but sigh.
Although Mo Nian and Long Chen had both heard of the Moonwatching Divine Rhinoceros and knew it was a divine artifact, they didn't know how to obtain it. If it weren't for Yue Xiaoqian, even if they discovered the horn, they would only get a useless item.
As for Guo Ran and Xia Chen, they had never even heard of the Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros Horn. They watched the commotion like fools, and with the three of them, they felt like fools who knew nothing.
Yue Xiaoqian took out a comb, which was intricately carved from white jade.
Yue Xiaoqian used the teeth of a comb to gently slide along the Moonwatching Divine Rhinoceros horn, acting like a saw. Strangely, as the comb moved rhythmically, the pattern on the horn began to slowly crack, leaving Long Chen and Mo Nian dumbfounded.
"This touches on my knowledge blind spot again. As expected, people live long and must keep learning." Mo Nian couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Yue Xiaoqian's technique couldn't be understood at all.
As the crack grew larger, the Moonwatching Divine Rhino horn seemed to fall off naturally, finally landing in Yue Xiaoqian's hand. The spot where it fell was smooth and lustrous, without a trace of damage, as if it was born this way, which was truly astonishing.
"Sss!"
Yue Xiaoqian held the Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros Horn and gently waved it in the air. The tip of the horn sliced through the void, and a thin line was carved into the void, as if a rift had been carved into the void.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise—so the legend was true—the Moon-Watching Divine Rhino Horn could easily break through the void.
"This is an escape artifact, but I wonder if there's a way to nurture it. This Moon-Watching Divine Rhino horn will only be used many times before it will exhaust its spiritual power and eventually become useless. That would be such a pity." Mo Nian said.
"You just need to nurture it with your soul, and don't use it too frequently. Its spiritual power will still recover on its own.
It should be noted that the Moon-Watching Divine Rhinoceros has been dead for countless years, yet its horns have been preserved on its own, proving that the Divine Rhinoceros was extremely powerful in its lifetime. Yue Xiaoqian said with a smile.
As she spoke, Yue Xiaoqian handed the Moon-Watching Divine Rhino Horn to Long Chen, a faint smile on her lips:
"Here."Here you go. "
