Seeing that Fang Xing had returned to his normal self, plucked up his courage and walked to the side of the bone box, and even used his hand to pry it open, the others were stunned. They looked at each other and walked forward at the same time. Naturally, they were curious about this bone box. Moreover, Fang Xing had already tried to pry it open, and no restrictions were triggered. This made them feel a lot more at ease!
The bone box was cool to the touch, and it was as smooth as jade. Just the touch from their fingertips made them feel that this was an unusually heavy material. They did not know which part of the dragon bone it was carved from. Logically speaking, with their level of cultivation, even if it was a black iron box, they only needed to touch the tip of their finger and gently rub it, and they would be able to pry the lid open. However, this bone box did not budge at all!
"As expected, there is no way to pry it open with magic power. We can only use our physical strength to forcefully pry this lid open …"
Mister Lan observed closely and confirmed his guess. He then sent out a thought, "Let's use our strength together!"
The four old men and Fang Xing placed their palms on the lid of the bone box at the same time. They stood side by side and released their divine thoughts. With a light touch in the air, they immediately understood each other's thoughts. Then, all five palms released their strength at the same time. They were all Tribulation Realm cultivators. When it came to physical strength, it was simply terrifying. Especially now that the five of them released their strength at the same time, it was even more indescribably terrifying. Even if a True Immortal came, his pure physical strength would not be able to compare!
"Crack …"
As that terrifying physical strength was exerted on the bone box, they felt the lid of the box shake a little. It seemed to loosen slightly. The five of them were shocked at the same time. They did not immediately lift it up. Instead, they waited for a moment. When they realized that there was no abnormality, they looked at each other and suddenly exerted a great force at the same time. In an instant, the entire lid of the box was lifted high up …
"Swoosh …"
It was also at this moment, before they had the time to see what was inside the bone box, a strong premonition suddenly appeared in their hearts. The five of them moved in the same manner, lifting the lid of the box, and almost at the same time, they explosively retreated backwards …
"What on earth is this thing?"
They retreated hundreds of feet, almost to the entrance of the temple. Only then did the five of them raise their heads and look forward.
At this time, the bone box had already been opened by them. Wisps of strange black fog were rising from the box. This black fog actually made them vaguely feel the aura of the dark creature in the sea of stars. This made them have a bad feeling in their hearts, and they even felt some lingering fear. After several dozen breaths, seeing that there was nothing unusual in the bone box, they gathered their courage and went forward to take a look. It was also this one look that made their hearts sink to the bottom, and they even felt that it was absurd and laughable …
Inside the box wasn't any great fortune or good fortune that they had been expecting. There was only a meteor stone ….
The white meteor stone was the size of a watermelon. There were small holes that were hard to see with the naked eye, some of the black creatures currently seeping into the small holes.
… This was basically a piece of meteorite fragments from the outside world!
But now, it was placed in this bone box, as if it was some kind of treasure!
Besides causing them to be horrified, this gap in their spirits truly caused them to feel that it was absurd and laughable ….
"Tsk tsk, it seems that we have been left behind. The treasure in this box has probably been taken by the Nine-headed Worm long ago. This fellow is really vicious, but he specifically left a meteor stone in here. If we were not careful, I'm afraid we would have suffered a calamity … This fellow is really too vicious. Not only did he leave the Eight Great Demon Kings outside the Dragon's Gate to block the way, but he also left an ambush here …"
Fang Xing looked at the meteorite for a few times, and then suddenly laughed.
The others were convinced by his words. This indeed seemed to be the work of the Nine-headed Worm. That fellow was very meticulous. As early as at the Dragon's Gate, he had left the Eight Great Demon Kings to block the way. At that time, he had probably already predicted that there would be people following him on this Immortal Path. Therefore, it was very normal for him to leave another ambush in this Dragon Bone Temple to trick people.
However, Mr. Wen had a rather strange expression on his face as he said, "But the seal on this box wasn't opened …"
"Isn't that simple?"
Fang Xing curled his lips and sneered. He closed the bone box again, and then stuck a paper talisman on it.
In this way, the paper talisman was completely stuck on the box, and the bone box immediately looked as if it had never been opened.
"Uh …"
Zhu Xiu was a little stunned. He thought that he had not thought of such a simple method.
This box had obviously been opened long ago. Not only had the things inside been seen, but the treasures inside had also been taken away, and a meteor stone had been placed inside. Then, a seal had been pasted on it, making it seem as if it had never been opened.
"Haha, we're late …"
Fang Xing laughed gloatingly as he came to the steps of the Dragon Bone Temple and sat down. He casually took out a wine gourd and drank from it. He looked very disappointed. It was obvious that they were indeed late. There were many opportunities in this Dragon Bone Temple, but there was nothing left except for a trap. They did not even find any clues about the Immortal Path. They could only rest here, but there was nothing left. Naturally, they felt that it was a pity …
"After all, we came later than the Nine-headed Worm. It's expected that we couldn't obtain the opportunities in this Dragon Bone Temple. In any case, we can take this opportunity to rest and refine some Spirit Essence. After that, we should continue on our journey. Let's pass through this Sea of Stars first …"
Mr. Lan came to his side and said softly with a low sigh.
"That's right. Becoming an Immortal is the most important thing. The so-called opportunities and opportunities are just side issues!"
Even the withered haired old woman spoke up from the side and echoed in a low voice.
They seemed to be talking to themselves, but their attention was inadvertently on Fang Xing. Other than Lu Sou, who was sitting cross-legged outside and suppressing the power of the creature of darkness in his body, and Mr. Ghost, who was still unwilling to give up and paced back and forth in front of the Dragon Bone Temple, Mr. Lan, the withered old woman, and Mr. Wen all moved closer to Fang Xing. Mr. Wen was even more straightforward. He looked at Fang Xing and said in a seemingly indifferent manner, "It's better to let Third Prince Ao out so that he can familiarize himself with the formation!"
The three of them had the same thought. They were all hinting to Fang Xing that it was time to let Ao Lie out.
Lu Sou had already been corrupted by the creatures of darkness, and no one thought that he could recover. However, the Eight Desolation Six Harmonies Formation required at least six people. In this case, unless Ao Lie was released, all of them would be trapped in the Dragon Bone Temple!
"Impossible!"
Fang Xing snorted coldly when he heard the hidden meaning of their words. He answered resolutely.
Mr. Lan and the others immediately looked at each other and saw the annoyance in each other's eyes.
They had guessed that this little devil would not agree so easily, but they did not expect him to give no leeway at all!
"Little devil, do you want to be imprisoned in this Dragon Bone Temple forever?"
The withered old woman said coldly, her eyes unfriendly.
Mr. Wen also sighed and said, "Little friend Fang, after all, we still have to look at the bigger picture. We have already crossed half of this sea of stars. Are we going to give up halfway? Even if we want to give up halfway, we can't turn back. Now, let Third Prince Ao out and cooperate with us to break through this sea of stars. This is the only way. Don't do this … "
"Do what?"
Before Mr. Wen could say the word 'stubborn', Fang Xing looked at him and sneered. "Someone tried to plot against me just now, and we haven't found that person yet. Do you think I will still cooperate with you now? Hehe, if there is another chance later, I won't be able to take it anymore. There won't be a second Old Man Lu to save me, will there? "
"Uh …"
Mr. Lan and the others did not expect him to mention this, and their expressions turned slightly cold.
They had thought that he would pester them endlessly, but now that he had said this, they could not ignore it.
Not only him, but Mr. Lan and the others also did not want to have such a time bomb hidden around them!
"Didn't you just say that it might be a misunderstanding?"
After a moment of silence, the withered haired old woman opened her mouth and said, "Just now, there was a flaw in the Eight Desolation Six Harmonies Formation. It's very likely that it was just an accident. Perhaps even the person himself didn't know that he had used an extra trace of magic power, so how can we investigate it? Or, if you can't find such a person, you're going to keep all of us here and refuse to cooperate, right? "
These words were spoken in an unfriendly tone, even with a hint of coercion.
Fang Xing's response was also very straightforward. He turned his head directly to look at the withered old woman, and said calmly, "So what if I am?"
"You … refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
The withered old woman was furious, and all the anger she had been suppressing along the way burst out. Her withered hair flew in the air, and she was about to stab Fang Xing.
"No!"
Mr. Lan and Mr. Wen were shocked, and they rushed over to stop the withered old woman's killing intent.
Fang Xing was also furious. He jumped up and said angrily, "Damn it, don't stop me. I must kill her!"
Mr. Lan and Mr. Wen looked a little strange, thinking, Who is stopping you …
"Haha, what are you fighting about?"
Suddenly, a divine sense was transmitted from the side during the chaos. Zhu Xiu and the others turned to look, and saw that it was Mr. Ghost walking over at this time. He seemed very calm, and the anxious people also calmed down because of his arrival. Mr. Wen said with a wry smile, "Isn't it because of the matter of finding someone to replace Lu Sou in the formation? We only needed to release that little dragon, and then we could persuade him to cooperate with us. But Little Friend Fang didn't agree no matter what …"
"The Third Prince is proud and arrogant. He doesn't want to cooperate with us. Even if we release him, he won't necessarily listen to our instructions."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ghost didn't try to persuade Fang Xing, but instead calmly explained the situation to him.
Zhu Xiu's expression became even more solemn as he heard this. There was a rather worried look on his face.
But at this time, Mr. Ghost smiled in a low voice, "But, I finally found out how the Jiu Ling King crossed the sea of stars."
"Swoosh!"
Everyone stopped quarreling as they heard his words, and looked at him in unison.
