Chapter 33 Mysterious Blood

A barely audible crisp sound exploded in the lonely ancient tomb like thunder, blasting in Zhang Chen's ears. Zhang Chen hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the source of the sound was actually the jade tablet under his hand.

‘Click~’

‘Click~’

Crisp sounds continued to spread in the air, and the sound was continuous, like popping beans.

Zhang Chen looked towards the jade stele and saw that tiny cracks had appeared on the stele at some point in time. The cracks seemed to be a chain reaction, expanding rapidly and spreading across the entire stele in the blink of an eye.

"It's broken! The jade stele is actually broken!" Zhang Chen looked at the jade stele in front of him and couldn't help but be overjoyed. His breathing became disordered with excitement. He saw more and more delicate lines on the jade stele, just like broken tempered film, so densely packed that he couldn't count on them.

However, the closer it got to this point, the more cautious Zhang Chen became, fearing that the monster on the jade stele would use some terrifying means to counterattack.

At this time, Zhang Chen activated the golden light to protect his body, looked at the jade stele in front of him with a serious expression, and stood in front of the jade stele for a long time without saying a word.

After an unknown amount of time, the popping sound on the jade tablet stopped, but nothing unusual happened. Zhang Chen stared at the jade tablet for an hour, but it didn't break. Then he bravely reached out and gently touched the jade tablet. The next moment, the entire jade tablet exploded into powder and dissipated in the ancient tomb. When the jade tablet powder fell to the ground, it turned into dust and mixed into the soil and turned into dust.

However, in the center of the jade stele, a ball of red light fell and stayed still in the dust.

The red light was very dazzling, like a dazzling crystal, emitting a dazzling red light at this time.

"What is that?" Zhang Chen looked at the falling red light, and his own golden finger did not react. Obviously, this was not the equipment dropped by the golden finger.

"What is that?" Zhang Chen stared at the crystal carefully. He saw that the crystal was not big, only the size of a peanut, and it was sparkling with bright light, which was very eye-catching.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's palm felt itchy, and his third skill, bloodsucking, made a strange movement. The bat's head appeared automatically in his palm, and an extremely huge emotion of desire was transmitted to Zhang Chen's heart.

"Is this thing good for the third skill?" Zhang Chen looked at the blood-red crystal on the ground, then raised his hand to look at the bat head in his palm and directly suppressed the bat head back. Zhang Chen's palm changed and returned to its original shape.

Zhang Chen stared at the blood-red crystal for a while, then slowly reached out his hand and touched the blood-red crystal with caution.

He didn't feel anything unusual when touching the blood-red crystal. Then Zhang Chen picked up the blood-red crystal with confidence and looked at it in his palm.

At this time, Zhang Chen's third skill moved again, but it was suppressed by Zhang Chen's thought, and he didn't give the third skill a chance to move at all.

"What kind of treasure is this crystal?" Zhang Chen stared at the blood-red crystal, and after examining it for a while, he said in amazement, "What a wonderful thing."

The crystal shell was hard and felt like glass, but when Zhang Chen looked closely, he discovered that there was actually a crimson liquid inside the glass. The liquid was scarlet, like a drop of blood.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that there seems to be a blood-red light flowing in the blood, constantly rolling up and down in the blood, like a bat, constantly colliding back and forth in it, as if trying to break the shackles of the crystal and fly out. Zhang Chen looked for a long time and found that there was indeed a bat in the blood.

"This looks like a drop of blood? But it doesn't look like it. The jade stele was destroyed, leaving only this object. Logically speaking, this object should be the core of the jade stele. In other words, this blood is the core of the jade stele." Zhang Chen stroked the crystal with both hands, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"My third skill's bloodsucking comes from the jade tablet, and this crystal also comes from the jade tablet. Now the third skill actually has an urgent need for the crystal. Could it be that there is some unknown connection between the two?"

Zhang Chen was filled with surprise. He just looked at the bright red blood and the blood-red bats constantly rushing in the blood. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like they came from a good background.

"But my third skill has such an urgent need..." Zhang Chen pondered for a while, and finally his mind moved. A ferocious mouth appeared in the palm of his hand. Two fangs flashed with cold light and directly pierced the surface of the crystal. Then the fangs suddenly stretched out and pierced directly into the blood-red liquid.

Although the blood-red liquid was very small, and the amount was only equivalent to a few drops of blood from a hare, the pair of fangs sucked it very slowly this time.

It only took Zhang Chen a breath to suck the liquid from a wild rabbit, but it took him six hours to absorb just a little bit of liquid from the crystal.

The blood seemed to be absorbed by the fangs. As if sensing the danger, the red bat in the blood flapped its wings and continuously hit the fangs, trying to break them. However, the two fangs were shining with cold light, like pillars supporting the sky. The waves of the small river could not do anything to Zhang Chen at all.

"interesting!"

Zhang Chen looked at the changes in the blood in the crystal, with a strange look in his eyes.

'Bang~'

Finally, at a certain moment, the crystal turned into a stream of light, and the blood was directly absorbed by the fangs. Then the mouth in Zhang Chen's palm disappeared, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Is that the end of it? After absorbing the liquid in the mysterious jade tablet, there should be some reaction, right?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of confusion, but before his thoughts could be transformed, a burning sensation suddenly rose from his body.

"It's very hot! Just like a grill fire in the summer!" Zhang Chen stood in an underground cave. The chilly air at this moment made him not feel cold at all.

Although Zhang Chen felt very hot at this time, strangely enough, not a drop of sweat fell from the pores of his body.

It's hot!

very hot!
Moreover, the temperature was still rising, making Zhang Chen feel as if he had fallen into a furnace. His blood was boiling, and even his flesh and blood seemed to be emitting green smoke.

But from the outside, Zhang Chen still looked the same, except for his slightly flushed face, as if nothing had happened.

"Why is it so hot! Damn it, I feel like my whole body is going to burn. It must be the effect of that piece of crystal." Zhang Chen walked directly to the depths of the underground cave and stuck directly to the frost-covered soil. However, after Zhang Chen touched the soil, it had no effect. It was as if the burning power in Zhang Chen's body did not exist, and even the frost hanging on the wall did not melt.
