Chapter 674

You!

Ice Deer immediately panicked.

The antlers on her head are her vital point; even a touch makes her tremble all over, and if they were broken off she'd surely die on the spot?

Although she knew he wouldn't really do that, trading barbs is just a matter of one-upping each other, each sentence harsher than the last, with no logic or reason.

She flared up in anger and shouted, "Break them then! Bring them out! If you have 100 million, I'll give you my antlers!"

"This is what you said!" Xiao Feng snorted harshly and immediately took out a Divine Stone bag from his backpack.

【Divine Stone bag】: Contains 100000000 Divine power crystals.

Sigh...

He Er Na pressed her forehead, a wave of headache.

The bag's information appeared crystal-clearly in the view of the three of them.

Ice Deer stared, her eyes wide open.

"This... this is impossible!" She couldn't believe it.

Wind Spirit Island has operated for so many years, yet its Divine Stone warehouse holds at most two or three million.

This man actually produced 100 million all at once!!

"He stole them! He must have stolen them from somewhere else!" Ice Deer didn't believe it and loudly rebuked.

You little male deer spirit, your bad temper is bad enough, but your gambling manners are also awful!

Xiao Feng originally didn't plan to argue with her; after finishing his act, he'd just chase her away, which would count as winning.

I didn't expect her to still slander me with words!

Are these Divine Stones stolen?

They were clearly robbed!

Stealing and robbing can't be lumped together!

I can't tolerate this; this cannot be tolerated!

Hand it over!

He angrily stretched out his big hand and grabbed for Ice Deer's forehead antlers.

The latter was arguing with him to vent anger, but He Er Na pulled her away to persuade.

I didn't expect him to actually strike; for a moment I forgot to dodge.

Xiao Feng's big hand seized her antlers; one hand alone had more than enough to grasp both sides.

This pair of antlers is still tender and slightly soft; if cut off, they could be used as tender antler gelatin, a great tonic!

Damn it! ~~

Xiao Feng had just touched her antlers, not yet applying force to break them, when Ice Deer suddenly let out a panicked cry.

Then her whole body went limp, stars flashing before her eyes, and she collapsed straight into He Er Na's arms, fainting on the spot.

Holy crap, that's so effective?

Xiao Feng knew her antlers couldn't be touched; a touch would make them go limp.

But he didn't expect it would cause her to faint outright.

What the hell kind of ridiculous weak point is this?

If touched during a fight, wouldn't that mean instant death on the spot?

This is basically a freebie for professionals!

Master, this...

He Er Na supported the limp Ice Deer, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Seeing Ice Deer faint, Xiao Feng's anger also subsided.

"Finally some peace; let's toss her on the ground and get down to business," he said.

He Er Na said helplessly: "Master, don't take it to heart; the little deer is just a bit mischievous, but she's actually kind-hearted."

"Hmm, a little girl's temper; I'm too lazy to argue, just don't disturb us," Xiao Feng nodded.

Ice Deer was placed on the flat ground outside the altar, unconscious.

Xiao Feng and He Er Na walked side by side toward the pool, aimed the Divine Stone bag at it, and began to pour.

This pool previously absorbed the energy of one Divine Stone, but left unattended for over a month, it had dissipated and the charge bar returned to zero.

Xiao Feng poured the Divine Stones from the bag; the gem-like stones clattered into the pool quickly.

Soon, the clear water in the pool was squeezed out, slowly filled by the Divine Stones.

But the Divine Stones were quickly decomposed and absorbed, disappearing again.

The pool's charge bar began to increase at a speed of several hundred thousand per second, quickly surpassing ten million and never stopping.

One minute, two minutes...

The Divine Stones poured out, consumed at a speed beyond imagination.

The value of these Divine Stones could sustain an ordinary NPC family in Shen Jie for a hundred lifetimes, yet here they were poured out like dirt, freely and rapidly consumed.

As energy poured in, the water in the pool gradually turned into an energy form, flowing along the magic patterns on the pool's edge toward the altar.

The altar's magic patterns lit up ring by ring from outside to inside, illuminating the formerly dim underground cavern.

Energy surged violently; as the altar lit up, it kept jumping. Xiao Feng and He Er Na both felt an ancient aura awakening, as if a dust-sealed chest had finally been opened.

"This aura is incredibly old, likely at least tens of thousands of years old," He Er Na said.

Xiao Feng wasn't familiar with the game world's historical background; hearing her say that, he happily said: "One"

Generally speaking, ancient things aren't of poor quality; maybe we can draw a 9th-tier Supreme Treasure!

He Er Na chuckled: "Master, you're so greedy; a 9th-tier Supreme Treasure isn't that easy to obtain—it's something even the main god wouldn't dare to ask for. Legendarily, only in the most dangerous places of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield could such a thing appear, and each one is a one-of-a-kind existence."

Xiao Feng naturally knew this too; he was just mentioning it casually.

He laughed and said, "You could pick up a 7th‑tier Supreme Treasure for free outside the altar; who knows there won't be a 9th‑tier one after the altar opens. The admission costs 100 million divine stones—I think this place is anything but simple!"

"Hmm, that's true." He Er Na did not object.

The condition of opening it with 100 million divine stones is truly too expensive; the existence of the chaos tree seed also shows this place is extraordinary.

Perhaps after opening the altar, one might actually encounter a Supreme Treasure—who knows.

The god stones in the energy pool were almost completely decomposed, and for roughly half an hour the process was charging.

As the magic patterns on the altar lit up one after another, a strange pattern appeared before the two of them.

The pattern on the altar differs considerably from the current Yuan Su Shen Yu magic markings; although it is also a type of magic pattern, it is far older and more primitive—at a glance one can tell it is a product of a bygone era from long ago.

When the altar was fully lit, a vertical white pattern appeared above it.

The pattern looks rough, like a patch sewn onto torn clothing, with no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

A beam of light extended from the altar toward the pattern, as if about to break it open!

At that moment, Xiao Feng heard a voice!

【Prompt: You have discovered an ancient seal from an unknown era; using the altar to open the seal will have unpredictable results—please choose carefully!】

Then an option popped up: 【Should we reverse the altar to open the seal?】

The white pattern resembling a patch before us is precisely the so‑called ancient seal, and the altar's purpose turns out to be to suppress it!

The altar's normal function is to seal that "patch," but after injecting a huge amount of energy, it can reverse its effect and open it!

Xiao Feng couldn't help but become curious.

The system's prompts are usually clear, never vague.

Yet this time, the description "ancient seal from an unknown era" appears, showing that the secret beneath the altar is far more advanced than expected!

Should we open it?

Xiao Feng was thinking.
