Blood Crystal
Inside the two statues was a combat suit and a ferocious blade. Just like Slaughtershadow's destructive aura, these two items had a cruel and bloody aura.
There were still two statues in the hall that had not been taken apart, but no one knew what was inside.
Xia Fei smashed the third statue with a punch and saw an exquisite dagger inside. It was about the size of a palm, with two beautiful blood-red gems embedded on both sides.
"Blood Crystal!" exclaimed Phantom excitedly.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned. He took the dagger out of the glass cover and weighed it in his hand. "Why? Do you recognize this dagger? "
Phantom nodded. "This dagger is called Blood Crystal. Legend has it that it's made from an extremely special type of metal. Only after absorbing enough blood will it be able to unleash its strongest attack power. As for the specifics, I don't know."
"Absorb blood? Does this thing absorb blood? " Xia Fei was confused. On the surface, the dagger looked no different from an ordinary handicraft other than its beauty. In fact, it was not even as sharp as the original nameless dagger. Xia Fei tried to cut the stone and realized that the dagger could not even leave a mark on it. He touched the blade with his hand and realized that it was not sharpened at all.
Such a blunt dagger could not even kill a chicken, let alone kill a human. Xia Fei did not know what was wrong with it.
"This dagger will only reveal its true value after absorbing enough blood. Before that, it's just a useless, blunt dagger," Phantom said in a deep voice.
"Any kind of blood?" asked Xia Fei.
"It has to be human blood."
Xia Fei was slightly stunned. A seemingly harmless dagger actually needed to absorb human blood to nourish itself. Such cruelty and bloodthirstiness were unheard of.
He picked up the silver metal piece from the glass cover and looked at it. Slaughtershadow wrote, "This dagger is extremely evil. It's made by an ancient ancestor, Blood Crystal. The Blood Crystal exists by drinking blood. The stronger the blood, the faster the resurrection process. Unfortunately, I've killed countless people in my life, yet I'm still unable to resurrect it.
"It is said that on the day this dagger revives, its evil nature will cause the heavens and the earth to darken and the sea to boil. I will never be able to witness such a scene in my life, and it will be my lifelong regret."
Xia Fei could not help but furrow his eyebrows. Slaughtershadow had used the word 'resurrect' in his message, as if he treated this little dagger as if it was alive. Xia Fei could not help but wonder why a piece of metal would need the word 'resurrect'.
According to Slaughtershadow's introduction, he could not revive the Blood Crystal even after killing for his entire life. This was no longer a question of doubt, but shock!
From Slaughtershadow's actions, it was not difficult to tell that he was a ruthless person when he was alive. Perhaps even he himself did not know how many lives he had taken. However, even a murderous demon like him could not revive the Blood Crystal. It was obvious that the amount of blood needed to revive this dagger was astronomical.
Xia Fei suddenly thought of the term 'Blood Sea'. Could it be that he really needed a pool of blood that was as large as an ocean to revive this dagger?
Xia Fei shuddered all of a sudden. The image of the sea of blood had even made him, who had always been a insensitive person, shudder.
"What else do you know?" Xia Fei asked.
Phantom shook his head regretfully. "A long time ago, when I was reading the sect's documents in the Treasure Pavilion, I accidentally read a description of the Blood Crystal. This dagger seemed to have been used by our founding ancestor, but it was later lost. There was a picture of this dagger in the documents, so I recognized it at first glance. I just didn't expect it to be left here by Slaughtershadow."
Xia Fei suddenly sensed something else from Phantom's words, so he smiled and said, "This dagger was left to me by your ancestor. Don't even think about making me hand it over."
Phantom pouted. Xia Fei had always been a greedy person. As long as something good was in his hands, it would belong to him. Unless he snatched it, there was no way he would hand it over.
Phantom was also an honest person, so this thought only flashed past his mind. After all, Slaughtershadow had made it clear that the dagger belonged to whoever smashed his statue, and Xia Fei happened to be the one who smashed the ancestor's statue, so it should belong to him.
Xia Fei sheathed the Blood Crystal at his waist. He had gained a lot from this trip to the secret chamber. Be it the combat suit, the ferocious-looking sword, or the Blood Crystal, each item was more precious than the last. What was even rarer was that these weapons were very unique. Although they were a little bloody and cruel, it depended on who they were used on. If an enemy came, Xia Fei would only feel that these weapons were not brutal enough, and it would be best if they could blast the enemy into pieces.
There was only one statue left. Xia Fei could not guess what was inside, but he knew that it would be just like the other three, filled with violence and murderous intent. This was because Slaughtershadow was a murderous person, so he liked violence and aesthetics.
The last statue was of Slaughtershadow shooting a large eagle with a bow. His left hand was holding a nonexistent bow, and his right arm was bent like a hook, pointing toward the sky.
* Bang! *
Xia Fei punched the statue hard, and it instantly shattered into pieces.
At the same time, something unexpected happened.
The entire hall began to shake violently, and the passage outside began to collapse after the statue collapsed. Dust flew everywhere, and the rumbling sounds of rocks collapsing were deafening.
The hall became so shaky that it was almost impossible to stand. It was as if there was a magnitude 11 earthquake.
Xia Fei cautiously hid under an alloy frame. The support here was much stronger than the other places, and it was the most likely place to survive this catastrophic collapse.
A few moments later, the hall was covered in a thick layer of dust. Thanks to the support of the alloy skeleton, Xia Fei was lucky enough to escape this round of violent earthquakes, but the only path to the outside world had been sealed off by rubble, trapping Xia Fei in this secret room.
The passage outside had become weak due to the passage of time. Xia Fei thought that his punch was too fierce, triggering a chain reaction outside. He was somewhat annoyed and regretted not being gentler.
"Heh, this is great. The only passage has been destroyed by you. I think you'll have to stay in this cave that no one knows about," Phantom said helplessly.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows and used his sleeve to sweep away the dust around him. He was in the center of the mountain, and it was not easy to get out unless he dug through several kilometers of the mountain.
Furthermore, Xia Fei had come in a hurry this time, so he was not prepared. Forget weapons, he did not even have any food or water. He would die of dehydration before the passage was dug. The situation was not looking good.
Fortunately, Xia Fei had a calmer demeanor than most people. Since it was already a fact that he was trapped here, there was no point in frowning. He might as well face it calmly.
He walked to the remains of the last statue, wanting to see what had caused him to be trapped in the mountain.
He saw a thin booklet and a silver metal plate inside the glass cover.
Xia Fei picked up the metal plate and looked at it. It said, "Don't think that it's easy to take my things. You'll have to suffer a little for destroying my statue. You want to get out? Heh, think of a way yourself. "
