Capítulo 2478: Chapter 1369: The Ancient Truth (Part 2)
Seeing the crisis has been resolved, everyone on our side couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off their foreheads.
Among them, Nal and Broy, along with a few other strong ones, almost collapsed to the ground in their relaxation, panting heavily.
As for Ruth, Mallen, and other Light Half-Elves, there was an additional subtle admiration in their eyes when looking at Leo Ray.
Just now, in the dialogue between Leo Ray and the unfamiliar Stone Spirit, no ntion was made of terms like [Stone of God], Stone Spirit, or “Gate of Truth”, so they didn’t even know what exactly had happened.
After all, for the various tribes of the Outer Region, obtaining the [Stone of God] with the “Key of Truth” is also an extrely rare and mysterious matter.
They only knew that the two strong ones beside Leo Ray seed to be of the sa kind as the young Dark Elf, even though they couldn’t find any actual connection.
As for Fanny, Crisis, Broy, and other allies on our side, they also cast admiring glances at Leo Ray. Although they had only a vague idea about the [Stone of God], Leo Ray had ntioned it before, so they weren’t as confused as Ruth and the others.
In any case, it is certain that because Leo Ray reached a consensus with the young Dark Elf, we were able to extricate ourselves from the sudden encirclent earlier!
“Alright, now they won’t see you all as enemies.”
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit jumped back to Leo Ray’s side and, as if seeking credit, puffed out its chest and said: “I’ve fulfilled my promise. You shouldn’t break yours!”
“Don’t worry, it’s a good thing for as well, so why would I break it?”
Leo Ray slightly nodded and smiled, saying: “From now on, we are all companions in the sa boat.”
“Thank you, Your Excellency! I’m so happy!”
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit jumped up excitedly, almost leaping onto Leo Ray, but was stopped by the still extrely vigilant Louise, Diana, Little Jie, and others.
After all, the other party hadn’t signed a contract with the Lord yet, so they naturally had to be cautious. Most importantly, the other party was sowhat overly familiar.
“Then let first give you a na.”
Leo Ray first smiled helplessly, then looked at the other’s slender figure and pondered: “Since you’re good at concealing your aura and can approach opponents silently, I’ll call you Xiao Jing.”
“Xiao Jing? I have a na of my own now!”
Stone Spirit Xiao Jing blinked its starry eyes, its fair face full of excitent, and said to Leo Ray excitedly: “Thank you, Your Excellency!”
“No need to be polite.”
Leo Ray waved his hand, signaling the team to continue forward and asked Xiao Jing: “What is it exactly with those murderous Dark Elves?”
“It seems Your Excellency has also noticed their peculiarity.”
Xiao Jing’s smile faded on its fair face as it nodded to Leo Ray: “The reason they appear in such a state is because their life essence has, in a sense, already integrated with the mine.”
“How is this possible?”
Ruth’s exquisite face imdiately filled with confusion, asking in puzzlent: “Ensuring the continuation of life essence requires eting nurous harsh conditions, the most important of which is having suitable containers. Containers are extrely rare items, and given the vast number of these Dark Elves, the need for containers is naturally enormous, so how was it accomplished?”
“Actually, the answer is simple.”
Xiao Jing obediently followed beside Leo Ray and hinted: “Don’t forget, this is a mine, and it’s a mine that produces rare resources.”
“Your Excellency, do you an to say…”
Upon hearing this, Ruth seed to realize sothing, blurting out: “Are there many unexplored resources here that can serve as containers?”
“Exactly, but the quality of these natural containers is rather limited, and they are unrefined, so under a series of coincidences, such a seemingly impossible situation arose.”
Xiao Jing shrugged, replying: “Their life essence was already fragnted, not even able to communicate, just retaining so scattered mory fragnts which the mine preserved.”
“But don’t underestimate them. Although they can’t exert their full strength, to you all, they remain overwhelmingly powerful, and the more they gather, the more stable their strength becos, avoiding the scattered situations you first encountered.”
Xiao Jing shrugged, concluding: “That’s why I stopped that reckless dragon head at the critical mont, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces in the next second.”
Upon hearing Xiao Jing’s words, Nal involuntarily shrank his neck, and the dragon face was once again covered in large beads of cold sweat.
anwhile, the other mbers on our side also showed expressions of sudden realization, understanding the truth behind everything here.
“Now it’s all clear. I didn’t expect this Ancient Mine to hide such ancient secrets.”
Leo Ray pondered and nodded, then looked towards Ruth, Mallen, and the others.
Although the appearance of Xiao Jing surprised the Light Half-Elf, there was no expected reaction or expression change.
This ans that as a Stone Spirit, Xiao Jing is not their target; what they truly seek is still sowhere in this mine.
“But please rest assured, Your Excellency, though they cannot communicate and are quite irritable, I’ve spent nearly Three Thousand Years living closely with them. We’ve built a deep friendship and trust, so as long as I speak, they won’t harbor hostility towards you all.”
After speaking, Xiao Jing puffed out its chest again, blinking its big eyes, waiting expectantly for praise from Leo Ray.
“Xiao Jing, it’s really thanks to you.”
Leo Ray casually patted its head, and a satisfied expression imdiately appeared on its fair face, much like a purring kitten.
Afterward, Leo Ray shifted the topic and inquired: “Xiao Jing, is there anything else noteworthy in this Ancient Mine?”
“Let think carefully. After all, over close to Three Thousand Years, I’ve played hide and seek with those Dark Elves and road every corner of this place.”
Xiao Jing tilted its head in thought for a mont, then replied: “There are many magical traps like those flashing captured faces from earlier, which I’m not familiar with. I don’t know the specifics either.”
At this point, Xiao Jing’s eyes lit up, and it continued: “Oh, yes, there is a pitch-black Crystal Ball stored in a managent area similar to the previous ones, shrouded in Black Fog. I don’t know what it’s used for, but judging from the Dark Elves’ behavior, it seems to be a very precious item.”
“Respected Your Excellency, could you please tell approximately how big that Black Crystal Ball is?”
Before Xiao Jing could finish, Ruth’s eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly.
“About the size of two fists.”
Xiao Jing compared it to its own fist, replying: “But to , it’s not as pretty as those sparkling minerals.”
Afterward, Xiao Jing seed to realize sothing, looking aningfully at Ruth, and said: “Shiny Lady, you guys were in such a hurry to explore the office area earlier, ignoring the summoning traps hiding in corners. Weren’t you searching for the Crystal Ball?”
“Well…”
Upon hearing this, Ruth found herself at a loss for words, and Mallen and other Light Half-Elves also looked unsure how to respond, especially since Leo Ray had already pointed it out earlier.
Seeing this, Leo Ray looked quite intrigued.
The reason for his earlier questions was to explore the Light Half-Elf’s true target, but he didn’t expect Xiao Jing to reveal the truth so smoothly.
Thinking for a mont, Ruth seed to make a decision and finally revealed their true purpose.
