Chapter 329: Chapter 211 Turmoil in Jing Chu

"What is this thing?"

Sha Lifei’s eyes widened in curiosity.

He had followed Li Yan to hunt for Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure before.

That was with Zhao Lvzi when they ventured into the mountains to search for Thunderstruck Wood, and they also witnessed a strange scene where a bolt of lightning danced through the forest.

However, that sight paled in comparison to what they were seeing now.

In the pitch-black forest, one white spiritual light after another appeared, resembling countless floating lanterns, bobbing up and down with apparent spirituality.

Li Yan furrowed his brows and looked towards Lin Yu.

He knew something about Hidden Treasure Man as well.

Finding the target was only the first step; without a restraining method, the Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure would immediately scatter its luck, or even escape.

Lin Yu, true to his legacy as a Hidden Treasure Man, remained exceptionally calm at this moment, staring determinedly ahead as he declared in a deep voice, "Master did not mention the method of restraint, but I have noticed something odd."

"Midnight belongs to the yin, and these things appearing now must be buried under the ground, or inherently yin objects from tombs, all located in the position of earth."

"Chen and Chou are damp earth, Wei and Xu are dry earth; Chen represents yang damp earth, Chou represents yin damp earth; Xu represents yang dry earth, Wei represents yin dry earth..."

"That Earth Dragon, it must have been a hog dragon that gained an opportunity for Dao and has a robust yang energy and tough scales, mostly characterized by yang dry earth!"

"According to the Twelve Earthly Branches, Wu earth prospers in Yin, is bathed in Mao, crowned in Chen, holds an official post in Si, reaches its peak in Wu... harbors in Zi, and it is only at midnight that it can be taken. According to deductions, firewood can restrain it!"

"Quick, find some dry firewood and light it to surround them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone did not waste time talking; they immediately went to look for firewood to light and surround the area from all directions.

Indeed, Hidden Treasure Man had his ways.

As they approached with torches, the white lantern spiritual lights did not dissipate, but instead were herded and converged towards the center.

The space became increasingly crowded, and all the spiritual lights began to merge.

Finally, they formed into a ball the size of a water jar, shrouded in misty light, with a vague shadow inside.

Everyone was startled to see it.

The shadow seemed somewhat similar to the Earth Dragon they had seen before, but it had strong back legs, delicate front limbs, a huge head, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"What kind of monster is this now?"

Lv San frowned, feeling an inexplicable sense of disgust.

Lin Yu was somewhat baffled, "No... not a dragon."

Only Li Yan caught a glimpse of something odd in those features.

He had seen such a creature in his past life,

which was unmistakably a kind of dinosaur!

Whoosh!

Just as everyone was puzzled, that ball of spiritual light instantly disappeared into the ground, vanishing from sight.

"Quick, make a fire!"

Lin Yu was not panicked; instead, he led everyone to pile the firewood where the ball of light had disappeared.

A roaring bonfire was lit, and everyone kept collecting firewood from all around and adding it to the fire.

After midnight had passed, everyone promptly extinguished the bonfire, scraped off the wood ash and charcoal, and began to dig downwards.

These digging tools were all found on those thieves, obviously planning to come here and loot treasures.

"Stop!"

Li Yan had been performing Yang Jue all the while and had dug less than a meter before he promptly gestured for everyone to stop, then carefully moved the earth aside to reveal an object.

It was a pottery jar, round-mouthed with three hollow feet.

"Is this the treasure?" Sha Lifei’s eyes lit up.

Li Yan’s expression was solemn, he shook his head and said, "No, this object was originally buried underground. This thing is called a ’Tripod’, a vessel from ancient times."

He had seen such objects in museums in his previous life, there were pottery tripods in the late Stone Age, and during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, pottery Tripods coexisted with bronze ones.

Thinking this, Li Yan suddenly looked up at Tian Qilang, "They said this place was an Ancient Chu Witch Sacrifice Holy Land?"

"Yep."

Tian Qilang nodded, smiling, "Mr. Li interested in these? We have plenty in Mei Mountain, sometimes using them to water livestock."

"If you want it, I can give you seventy or eighty pieces."

Li Yan was taken aback, then sighed deeply, "Nevermind."

Perhaps in those Ancient Times, this place had its glory, but now, it was just a scoop of yellow soil.

With that, he continued to dig further down.

Now, his smell superpower could probe ten meters underground, and he already knew what the treasure below was.

As expected, after digging another meter deep, a large cluster of stone eggs appeared before everyone. After rinsing with clear water, they varied in color, some yellowish, some with a hint of green.

"Stone eggs?"

Lin Yu was somewhat disappointed upon seeing them, "So it’s these, our place has found many too, they were fossilized eggs from the beasts of Barbaric times, not true dragons."

"Beasts of Barbaric times?"

Sha Lifei grew interested upon hearing this, "What would such beasts look like?"

Lin Yu shook his head, "They’ve all turned to stone, only vaguely revealing skeletal shapes. If you’re interested, break a few open to look inside."

"No!"

Li Yan hastily stopped him, brushed aside a nearby stone, revealing a small dinosaur fossil, "It’s exactly like this."

"Not so special, is it?"

Sha Lifei lost interest after one glance.

Of course, the dinosaur egg that had turned into Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure could not be overlooked.

Li Yan and the others continued digging.

The dinosaur egg fossils here were very dense and not buried too deep. In his past life, it surely would have been a staggering discovery that shocked all sides.

Here, no one cared.

Eventually, they found that special fossil.

This dinosaur egg was different from the rest, set within a whole rock and as clear and translucent as jade.

Even the dinosaur’s skeleton inside was clearly visible.

Li Yan could not help but be amazed by this world full of miracles, a jadeized dinosaur egg would probably be unbelievable in his previous life.

He was excited as he placed his hand on it.

In an instant, streams of intense energy flowed into his Dantian and were completely absorbed by the Daluo Dharma Body.

The previous cracks in the Daluo Dharma Body had already been fully repaired after absorbing the luck of the coal spirits in Shangjin City.
