Chapter 1701

But Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying felt no fear; their trials in Jibei had already matured them greatly, and with their mysterious flame and Earth-Grade Mid-stage strength as trump cards, they moved with ease here.

"What shall we do next?" one day, Ming Ying asked Prince Di Luomi, "Just wander around this area forever?"

"Of course not." Prince Di Luomi shook his head. "We are going to find something next."

"What thing?" Ming Ying asked with some curiosity.

"A treasure." Prince Di Luomi said mysteriously. "A treasure that will be of great use to us."

"A treasure? In the Central Continent?" Ming Ying was somewhat surprised. "Many people in the Central Continent are interested in treasures; will we be robbed?"

"Rest assured, I have already investigated thoroughly." Prince Di Luomi said proudly. "This treasure should still be inside a ruin, and this ruin has a powerful seal that ordinary people cannot possibly open."

"Are you sure you can open this seal?" Ming Ying asked with some worry.

"No problem." Prince Di Luomi said confidently. "Although this seal is powerful, it is no difficult task for me."

The two quickly found that ruin and then began the process of breaking the seal.

The seal of this ruin was indeed very powerful, but for Prince Di Luomi it was not unsolvable.

He used his mysterious flame to continuously bombard the seal, while Ming Ying continuously dismantled the traps and mechanisms on the side.

With their combined efforts, the seal finally cracked, revealing a stone chamber. Inside the stone chamber lay a treasure emitting a powerful aura—a silver sword from tip to hilt.

"This is..." After seeing this treasure, Ming Ying was somewhat surprised. "This is... the Starfall Sword!"

"The Starfall Sword?" After hearing this name, Prince Di Luomi was also somewhat surprised. "Wasn't the Starfall Sword lost a hundred years ago?"

"Yes, the Starfall Sword was lost, but now it has appeared again." Ming Ying looked at that silver sword and said, "It seems our luck is truly very good."

"In that case, let us quickly take the Starfall Sword and store it away." Prince Di Luomi spoke and moved forward to take the Starfall Sword.

"Wait!" Ming Ying grabbed Prince Di Luomi. "We cannot simply take it away."

"What do you mean?" Prince Di Luomi asked in confusion. "Why can't we simply take it away?"

"This ruin has a guardian beast." Ming Ying explained. "If we simply take the Starfall Sword away, that guardian beast will hunt us to death."

"A guardian beast?" Prince Di Luomi was stunned; he never expected to encounter a guardian beast here. "Then what shall we do? Simply give up the Starfall Sword?"

"Of course we cannot give up." Ming Ying shook his head. "We can negotiate with this guardian beast; as long as we can make it agree to let us take the Starfall Sword, then there is no problem."

Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying waited in the stone chamber for a moment, then a huge figure walked out from the darkness. It was a giant gorilla wearing silver battle armor; its eyes glowed with Jin Guang as it looked at Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying.

"Are you the guardian beast of this ruin?" Prince Di Luomi asked this gorilla.

"Yes, I am the guardian beast of this ruin." The gorilla spoke. "Why have you come to this ruin? The Starfall Sword cannot be taken away."

"We do not intend to take the Starfall Sword away; we only wish to borrow the power of the Starfall Sword." Ming Ying looked at the gorilla and said. "We can exchange with you; as long as you agree to let us borrow the power of the Starfall Sword, we can give you something you want."

"Really?" The gorilla seemed somewhat unbelieving. "Can you really give me what I want?"

"Of course we can." Ming Ying nodded. "We keep our word; as long as you agree to our conditions, we will definitely give you something you want."

The gorilla hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Very well, I believe you. But you have only one chance; if you cannot survive within the power of the Starfall Sword, I will kill you."

"Thank you for your trust." Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying said in unison.

Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying picked up the Starfall Sword, then walked out of the stone chamber. They wielded the Starfall Sword, showing its power to the guardian beast. Finally, they exchanged their mysterious flame and received a scale armor from the guardian beast.

"This scale armor is forged from scales of a powerful dragon clan; it is very precious." Prince Di Luomi said proudly. "We have truly made a huge profit this time."

"Yes, this scale armor can be sold for a very good price." Ming Ying also said excitedly. "With this wealth, we can do many things."

After the two left the ruin, they continued to roam the Central Continent. Here they made many like-minded friends and also encountered many powerful enemies. But no matter what difficulties and dangers they met, they could respond with composure.

One month later, Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying unexpectedly learned a news report—the successor of the Spirit-Communicating Saintess had appeared.

"The Spirit-Communicating Saintess?" Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying asked in unison.

"Yes, the successor of the Spirit-Communicating Saintess has appeared." An acquaintance sent news to Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying. "She is currently undergoing trials at Spirit Beast Mountain; if you are interested, you may go and see."

"The Spirit-Communicating Saintess?" Prince Di Luomi was somewhat puzzled. "Who is she?"

"The Spirit-Communicating Saintess was a very famous Spirit-Communicator in ancient times; she could communicate with all Spirit-Communicating Beasts." Ming Ying explained. "Her strength was very powerful; she once defeated many strong ones."

"I see." Prince Di Luomi nodded. "Then let us quickly go and see."

Spirit Beast Mountain is a very dangerous place, but for Prince Di Luomi and Ming Ying it is no major problem. They quickly arrived within Spirit Beast Mountain and saw a beautiful woman. She was indeed the successor of the Spirit-Communicating Saintess—Ling Xue.
