Chapter 171 -78: The true treasures, bloodbath on the building ship!

Underwater in the cave.

“That is…”

Just as Jiang Ning stood up, intending to leave, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Because in the small pool ahead, he saw specks of silver brilliance.

He then gestured with his hand.

Whir whir whir—

The fragments of rock in the pool were instantly affected by a formless power, speeding away in all directions.

Immediately.

A blackish, pigeon egg-sized stone flew from the bottom of the pool into his hand.

As the stone made contact with his hand, he felt an ice-cold sensation penetrating into his bones, the chills seeping deep into his marrow.

This sensation instantly gave Jiang Ning a sense of familiarity.

It was exactly like the water in that pool just now.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Ning turned over the blackish stone in his hand.

Upon a closer look, he saw that within the blackish stone, there were occasional flashes of silver stars.

This was also the reason he had just noticed this blackish stone at the bottom of the pool.

As he watched the silver starlight flit within the stone, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but think of the special water he had just refined.

The water from the pool contained silver brilliance, and even in the water it remained cohesive and unspeakably cold.

“Could it be…” Jiang Ning’s eyes widened slightly.

He considered the possibility that the source of the special water he had just “swallowed” might be due to something.

Such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would certainly have an origin, a reason for their existence.

It was impossible for them just to condense here out of nowhere.

His gaze became sharp as a blade as he looked at the blackish stone in his hand.

“Is it because of it?” Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Considering the similarities revealed thus far, the special water he had absorbed might indeed be due to this small black stone that felt chilling to the bone in his hand.

A black stone that occasionally flashed with silver brilliance.

Because both the special form of water just now and the black stone contained the same fleeting silver brilliance.

And moreover, the chill they emitted was so similar.

Yet, compared to the special form of water earlier, the stone’s chill felt even more intense.

In terms of temperature, the stone was so cold that even the iciest of ice could not compare.

Normally, such a temperature would gradually solidify the surrounding lake water, turning it into ice crystals.

But Jiang Ning discovered,

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Only when his body came in contact with the black stone could he feel the chill emitted from the stone.

As soon as his palm left it, he could no longer feel the chill emanating from the black stone.

After exploring back and forth, Jiang Ning felt more certain of this fact.

The true treasure of this place might be this seemingly unremarkable black stone in his hand, rather than the special state of the water he had encountered.

With this in mind, he carefully stored the black stone.

Then he thoroughly searched the area around him, and finding nothing more, he set off toward the direction of the wrecked ship.

Because in the shipwreck, aside from that warehouse full of iron ore, there were also two sections of the White Dragon Fish’s body and Shi Xiaoyuan’s knife.

Even if a notch had been cut in that knife,

To be Shi Xiaoyuan’s knife, both the material used and the forging technique made it extremely valuable.

How could Jiang Ning waste such a fine blade?

…

On the surface of the lake.

Splash—

Splash—

Splash—

Three more sounds of entry into the water.

At the same time.

Conversations were heard on the deck.

“How’s it going, any sign of the Gang Leader and the others?”

“Back to the protector, no discovery!”

“…”

On the other side.

In a corner at the bottom of the building ship.

Huang San’s face had turned deathly pale by now, his lips had become a purple-black color.

With an arm wound that had clearly broken, having been soaked in water continuously for more than two hours had made him feel extremely weak.

He also sensed that he couldn’t hold on for much longer and might pass out here at any moment.

But even so, he dared not make any noise.

Time passed, and none of Shi Xiaoyuan or the others had returned.

Under such circumstances, how could he dare to emerge?

If those above from the Green Snake Gang found out—

Having gone down with Boss Shi and the others, yet being the only one returning, what could he possibly explain?

That would only expose him to an even more painful death at the hands of the Green Snake Gang, and his family might be implicated as well.

Thinking of this, Huang San’s resolve grew even firmer.

Then,

“Who’s there?”

“Who are you?”

“…”

He suddenly heard several loud shouts from above while underneath the building ship.

The next moment.

Ah—

Terrifying screams erupted from above on the building ship.

For a while, the area above was filled with chaos, various sounds muddling into his ears.

“A demon, it’s a demon!!” some voice shouted in utter panic.

“Spare me! I have elders above, children below…” someone begged desperately in their fear.

“Kill! Die, all of you!!” someone else yelled fiercely.

“…”

But among these voices, Huang San heard mostly the anguished cries of those facing death.

Suddenly.

Splash—

The sound of something falling into the water echoed; a figure had fallen into the water a yard in front of him, the splashing waves hitting his face and snapping him back to attention.

The next moment.

The figure that had fallen into the water bobbed back to the surface buoyed by the water.

“Dead?” Huang San watched the motionless figure a yard away, his heart still in turmoil.

After a few breaths, his frantic heart calmed down.

He hesitated for a moment and then swam toward the body.

Reaching the side of the figure, he already knew this person was certainly a corpse.
