Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints

Chapter 524 - Fighting Poison With Poison

Cruise took the bottle from Klein's hand and shook it. Why did he feel that it was a little strange holding the stone powder in his hand?

Klein smiled and said, "There's no need to be curious. This kind of stone can absorb human energy, but the quality of the stone powder is extremely low. It won't cause too serious a consequence."

Cruise nodded and carefully divided the powder in the bottle into three parts. He took one part first.

At that time, Cruise felt a choking feeling. The powder was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it up or down. It was simply too uncomfortable.

He rushed to the river bank and drank some water before swallowing it.

"Holy sh*t, this thing is too disgusting. It's even more unbearable than the Black Lotus Flower just now!"

The powder not only burned his throat, but it also had a very unpleasant smell of rust,

After swallowing it, his mouth was filled with that strange smell, and he couldn't wash it away.

Klein smiled and said, "I'll tell you. A medicine that can detoxify poison definitely won't taste good. How do you feel now?"

Upon hearing Klein's question, Cruise, who had consumed a third of the stone powder, really felt much better.

Not only did the numbness in his body gradually lessen, he could even struggle to stand up.

The black gas on his legs also gradually dissipated, and some of the symptoms on the surface had basically disappeared.

Although there were still some chest tightness and shortness of breath, as well as swollen wounds, it wasn't a big deal.

Seeing that the Five-Colored Stone powder was indeed effective, Klein and James finally felt relieved.

After a moment of silence, James said, "It's not appropriate to continue exploring in this situation. We're not feeling well, and your poison hasn't been completely detoxified."

They could only go back and rest for a while before continuing their exploration,

In any case, Klein and James had already obtained the huge treasure they had dreamed of. This trip wasn't a wasted one.

After leaving the tree hole, they saw the towering tree in front of them,

Looking back, they realized that the thick tree trunk stretched as far as the eye could see,

The space they had just experienced was all within the thick tree trunk. It was indeed inconceivable.

The few of them returned by the same route and discovered that the poor eagle was still suspended in midair.

It was unknown if it was tired or resigned to fate, but it actually gave up struggling without moving.

Klein took out a piece of broken glass from his clothes and threw it down forcefully.

The glass coincidentally slipped away from the metal wire that was tightly wrapped around the eagle's body.

The eagle that had broken free finally rose into the air and flapped its wings as it flew into the distance.

It was probably because of what had just happened that it began to suspect its entire life.

It didn't dare to provoke these humans again. It was better to avoid trouble. It didn't want to provoke these terrifying humans again.

The few people who had already escaped from danger left this mysterious space and returned to the primitive space,

At this moment, they realized that many people had gathered in groups of two or three. Their faces were solemn as if something had happened.

Cruise rushed over to inquire about the situation. So it was Saxe. There was movement from the Demon King's side!

Cruise frowned slightly. "What's wrong with that guy? Is he going to cause trouble for you again?!"

The bald uncle with a worried expression sighed softly,

"Sigh, he did appear this time to look for you. On the other hand, he's also looking for the most important mineral in this world!"

Klein frowned slightly. The most important mineral in this space? What was it?

Klein had gathered quite a number of expensive herbs and large amounts of gemstones, so he really didn't have much research on minerals.

When the bald uncle said that the mineral that Demon King Saxe had been searching for was actually the Five-Colored Stone, Klein revealed an expression of sudden realization.

The Five-Colored Stone was indeed a unique substance in this space, and it did have powerful energy.

If used properly, the Five-Colored Stone could also benefit mankind.

Of course, a person like Demon King Saxe exuded a very obvious sense of conspiracy.

This person was wantonly searching for the Five-Colored Stone. He was definitely brewing a terrifying conspiracy that no one knew about! According to the bald uncle, there were actually very few Five-Colored Stones in this space. They were just some fragments.

Most of them had been taken away by Demon King Saxe.

And the reason why he had collected Five-Colored Stones and other precious raw materials was because he wanted to use them to refine a divine artifact!

Klein blinked. Refine a divine artifact?

Five-Colored Stones were indeed a very rare material. Due to their high quality and high density, they were indeed the rarest raw materials for a special weapon.

It was the first time Klein had heard of using the Five-Colored Stones to refine a divine weapon.

It seemed like Demon King Saxe was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

He licked his dry lips.

Klein said, "You're saying that what he collected previously were only fragments of the Five-Colored Stone? Such a small amount of resources shouldn't be enough to make a difference, right?"

The bald uncle sighed softly. "...You don't know how powerful the Five-Colored Stones are. There's no need to completely use this material. As long as some is added into the forging process, it can greatly affect the overall quality of the weapon!"

The Five-Colored Stones that were collected by Demon King Saxe were enough for him to call the wind and summon the rain here.

"We don't know what kind of divine weapon he is going to make, but it is said that once this divine weapon is successfully refined, Demon King Saxe will really rule the entire underground world!"

"That's right. We must stop him. Otherwise, even you will be implicated!"

It seemed like these people had been suppressed by Demon King Saxe for a long time, and they were feeling rather depressed.

They knew that Klein and company were extraordinary. It would naturally be best if they could stop Demon King Saxe's next crazy move.

However, Klein's heart was surging with emotions.

The natives didn't know that he and James's remnant essence had discovered a large number of Five-Colored Stones in the cave below. The number had exceeded their imaginations.

If Demon King Saxe were to learn of the existence of the Five-Colored Stones, the outcome would be unimaginable.

The two of them looked at each other as though they had a tacit understanding. They kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal the important information.

At this moment, Klein suddenly remembered something very important.

Klein looked at the bald uncle and asked, "By the way, where is the little girl that I asked you to take care of? Why haven't I seen her since I returned?"

The bald uncle was taken aback before he patted himself on the head.

"That's right. How could I have forgotten such an important matter? Before Demon King Saxe appeared, she was following me, and then..."

Then, the mysterious amnesiac little girl suddenly disappeared.

Klein was taken aback. What? She disappeared?

The bald uncle felt a little guilty, probably because he had let him down.
