After spitting out the big box, the mantis looked up to the sky and let out a happy and comfortable cry.

Just like when your feet hurt and you don't feel athlete's foot, a stronger feeling covers another feeling.

Before, due to the torment of resentment in the body, it could not feel the discomfort in its stomach. Now that its resentment has disappeared and there is no pain in its soul, it can feel the strangeness in its stomach.

The box was made of bronze. It was a boxy shape with no openings visible, only two small holes on both sides of the box.

Everyone gathered around the copper box. Wang Kaixuan cleaned up the mantises and insects in the two small holes and said doubtfully:

"This looks like a keyhole."

Hu Xiuwu looked at Liao Zhong: "Keyhole? Uncle Liao, I remember that I found a dragon-tiger short staff from Enkuan, right?"

In fact, he didn't need to say anything. When Liao Zhong heard Wang Kaixuan talk about two small holes, he was already picking up the short dragon-tiger staff.

Liao Zhong put the short dragon-tiger staff into Hu Bayi's hand: "Then it's time for your special performance. Boy, we don't have any experience in this area, so we can only look at you."

Hu Bayi took the short staff of dragon and tiger, walked around the box twice, and came up with the idea of ​​using the dragon head, which represented the Qingyang Qi, in the short staff of dragon and tiger to open the lock.

Seeing Hu Bayi preparing to unlock the door, Liao Zhong pulled Shirley Yang and Wang Kaixuan away.

Lao Meng and Hu Xiuwu were guarding Hu Bayi on the left and right. If he guessed wrong and triggered the mechanism, they would pull Hu Bayi away from the box.

Hu Bayi inserted the dragon's head into the keyhole, twisted it left and right, and finally pulled the short staff out, and the box's mechanism was finally activated.

After a burst of machine noise, a crack was embedded in the copper box.

Lao Meng carefully opened the box and inspected it. There were no other mechanisms on the box. It seemed that King Xian was very confident about the protection of the mantis and the long insect.

Hu Xiuwu waved behind him, indicating that there was no problem here, and everyone gathered in front of the box to check its contents.

The gastric juices of mantises seeped into the box, flooding the contents hidden in the box, but it could still be vaguely seen that it was divided into three layers and contained three items.

Liao Zhong took out the rope claw produced by the bunker, gently grabbed one of the items, lifted the rope upwards, and instantly tightened his claws to grasp the items in the box firmly.

Liao Zhong took the things caught by the rope claws out of the copper box and placed them on the cave floor.

Wang Kaixuan didn't dare to express his anger just now. He was more nervous than fighting a mantis. After seeing the things being taken out, he couldn't help but grin.

Although he knew that whatever treasure he found this time would only be confiscated, Wang Kaixuan was still very excited after discovering something good.

It’s good to experience eye addiction and gain new insights.

Wang Kaixuan carefully touched the things on the ground, and gently wiped away the remaining liquid and sealing wax layer with a cloth strip.

This is an eggshell made of jade thin slices. The surface of the eggshell is also engraved with the sacred mountain of a dragon and a crouching tiger.

Looking at the characteristics of the sacred mountain, it seems to be the image of Zhelong Mountain after it was deified.

Through the thin jade shell, you can still see a jar wrapped in cork inside, but you can't see the contents without peeling off the jade shell.

Liao Zhong took out the things in the box one after another.

There were three corpses wrapped in leopard skins. The corpses did not look like humans, but more like apes. They also looked somewhat similar to the statues in the mountain temple.

Wang Kaixuan poked the corpse on the ground with his machete: "What is this?"

This question asked about Lao Meng’s major. Lao Meng introduced:

"This is a mandrill, an ape that has acquired Qi. It is very difficult for animals to acquire Qi, but once they acquire Qi, their cultivation speed is much faster than that of humans."

Hu Xiuwu added: "The spiritual intelligence of animals will grow rapidly after gaining Qi. In ancient times, people divided animals that gained Qi into two categories."

"Those who are hostile to people are called monsters; those who are kind to people and can communicate with them are called auspicious beasts."

Lao Meng continued: "It seems that this monster was regarded as a mountain god by the Yi people in ancient times. Later, this 'mountain god' was beheaded by King Xian who occupied this place, and was stuffed into the mantis and worm by King Xian. In the belly.”

Wang Kaixuan didn't seem to understand. On the other hand, Shirley Yang looked like she had learned something new.

Liao Zhong finally took out a small copper box from the box. There was a tiger-shaped hole on the copper box.

Without Liao Zhong opening his mouth, Wang Kaixuan took the short dragon-tiger staff from Hu Bayi's waist and inserted it into the box.

The box slowly opened, revealing the treasure inside, a three-legged toad that exuded a faint blue light. The toad was carved so lifelike that you could tell it was made by everyone at first glance.

Even Hu Xiuwu, who is not involved in the antique business, can see this thing. It is definitely a priceless treasure.

After seeing the toad, Lao Meng frowned.

Liao Zhong saw this and asked: "What's wrong, Lao Meng? Is there something wrong?"

Lao Meng said: "Lao Liao, please carefully feel the changes in the surrounding environment."

Liao Zhong was not bothered by the Riddler's behavior and said impatiently: "Lao Meng, please don't let me feel it. Just tell me what you find."

Before Lao Meng could speak, Hu Xiuwu said first: "The spiritual energy around here seems to be a lot stronger?"

"Yes, although it is very weak, since opening this copper box, the spiritual energy and oxygen nearby have become much thicker."

It seems that the reason for the strong spiritual energy in the Gourd Cave has been found, and it is because of this three-legged toad.

Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but sigh: "This is simply a treasure in the alien world. As long as it is available in any sect, anyone can artificially create a blessed land and cave."

Lao Meng couldn't help but nodded in agreement. At the same time, Lao Meng also wanted to understand why the mantis worm, which should have been extinct long ago, could survive in this gourd cave. Now it seems that it depends on the ability of this three-legged toad.

After hearing what Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng said, Liao Zhong closed the copper box again, put the three-legged toad away, and put the jade egg into the bag.

Even the mandrills on the ground were not spared. They were all put into the bag and placed in the corner of the gourd cave. When they came back, they planned to take these things back to the bunker for study.

After hiding everything, Lao Meng controlled the mantises and insects to escort them out of the cave.

They climbed on the back of the mantis, sat on the bronze scales, and took the mantis brand bus toward the tomb of King Xian.

The mantis moves in the same way as a centipede. It relies on the centipedes on its abdomen to move its body. Sitting on it is surprisingly comfortable. You don't feel much vibration, and the speed is not slow.

As the mantis moved, Hu Xiuwu also discovered the reason why the mantis was able to come to the front of Hulu Cave and near the mountain temple.

Originally, Xian Wang sent people to nail the tail of the mantis to the cave with more than a dozen large steel drills to prevent it from leaving the vicinity of Xian Wang's tomb passage, so as to guard Xian Wang's tomb.

But the last time the people of Yaoxianhui fought too fiercely with the mantis, the mantis and longworm broke off its petrified tail during the battle, and untied it like a gecko breaking off its tail, so that he could move freely, and the Yaoxianhui was defeated. I was caught off guard.

Sitting on the back of the mantis, Hu Xiuwu always felt as if something had been left behind.

····

After feeling the terrifying aura disappear, the green-scaled python quietly crawled out from the corner,

Crawling across the ground covered with bullet casings, it looked around, its mind full of doubts:

Huh? Why am I here?
