“Fengfeng? Little Phoenix?”
Feeling someone nudging me, I suddenly snapped out of that strange sensation. The first thing I saw was Xianxian’s enlarged handsome face, his large black eyes curiously staring at me. I pushed Xianxian back a bit and asked, “What did you just say?”
“I asked what you felt or saw. Your expression was quite unusual just now!” Xianxian continued to look at me with curiosity. After thinking for a moment, I recounted everything I had seen and felt.
Only then did Xianxian nod in realization, murmuring, “So it really is the real deal!”
After saying that, Xianxian suddenly widened his eyes as if he had thought of something, grabbing my arm excitedly and saying, “Fengfeng, hurry! Use your mind to put all these things inside! Quickly!!!” He pushed two backpacks into my arms.
“Put them inside? With my mind?” I looked at him skeptically. Did he think this was some ancient fantasy drama?
“Just try it! I want to see if this miraculous artifact is really as powerful as the rumors say!” Xianxian said excitedly.
“OK, OK!” Actually, I was also a bit eager. After saying that, I immediately closed my eyes and silently chanted in my mind, “Go in, go in.” Suddenly, I found myself back in the misty place, surrounded by twelve gigantic and bizarre statues. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were endless trees of four colors standing in their respective places, each distinctly colored. And right at my feet lay two bulging backpacks!
I was about to squat down and open the backpacks to see what Xianxian had taken when unexpectedly the ropes and zippers opened by themselves! My heart leaped with joy as I quickly thought “spill out,” and sure enough, the items inside floated out into the air, neatly arranged before me. A miraculous artifact indeed; it truly was an incredible cheat!
Xianxian had many items, but they were all small things like gold, silver, gemstones, pearls, agate, jade, coral, bells, musical instruments—everything odd and peculiar! The items were small and common enough that even if spilled out, someone would dare to collect them. After taking a look around, I stepped back with the backpack.
“Miraculous artifact! Haha! It seems we won’t have to worry about starving anymore when we venture out; we can take whatever we want. Truly heaven’s assistance! A Lin Mei Mei just fell down.”
“Who are you calling Lin Mei Mei, hmm?” I shot Xianxian a glare before playfully tossing his bag back to him.
Xianxian caught it eagerly, still unable to contain his excitement. My mood was also very good; seeing Lime’s slightly upturned lips made me unable to resist asking, “By the way, can this The Dead hide people? Can I go inside?”
"Yes." As soon as Lime spoke, Xianxian immediately looked at Lime and said excitedly, "Great! It seems that we will have a refuge when we encounter danger in the future!"
After Xianxian finished speaking, Lime continued, "However, it depends on your fortune."
"Fortune?" Although I was excited, I didn't lose my head. Just being able to store items was already incredible; if I could also store people, then... I was really afraid this was a dream! So, hearing Lime say that, I knew storing people wouldn't be that easy.
"Perhaps there is a possibility when you master it to the extreme," Lime said with a calm smile as he walked towards Mercury and added lightly, "Let's go."
"Hey, hey, aren't we going to take some more? The amount I took before wasn't enough; we risked our lives to get here, not taking more would be letting ourselves down!" Xianxian shouted from behind.
Lime had already flown over to the Mercury Pool. I looked at Xianxian and then at Lime. Xianxian was right; we were Tomb Raiders who had come this far through life-and-death situations. Not taking some more would indeed be letting ourselves down. However, we had already taken so much; taking more...
Perhaps noticing my hesitation, Xianxian patted my shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry; we won't empty it out! I just spotted a couple of items earlier but didn't take them because they were too big. Now that we have The Dead, hehehe..."
Xianxian chuckled mischievously and ran over to the Crystal Coffin, emerging with a stone in hand, excitedly smacking his lips. "Tsk tsk, Oracle Bone Inscriptions! This is an invaluable treasure!"
I looked closely; it really was a turtle shell with many inscriptions in Oracle Bone Script that I couldn't understand. The story of the discovery of Oracle Bone Script has been called "A Piece of Oracle Bone Shocking the World," marking a legendary chapter in both Chinese and world archaeology. Seeing Xianxian's eyes shining brightly, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure someone can afford this?"
"This is an invaluable treasure, a nationally protected cultural relic. Even if you dare to sell it, it's uncertain if anyone would dare to buy it!" Xianxian smirked and handed it to me with a mischievous grin. "Keep it; it will be useful in the future!"
Alright then, since this item doesn't take up much space, I took a look and then stored it in The Dead.
"Whoa, Great Jade Halberd!" After a while, another item appeared in Xianxian's hands—94 centimeters long, 14 centimeters wide, and only 1 centimeter thick; it was exceptionally exquisite. I didn't understand antiques, so I looked at him in confusion. Xianxian's face couldn't hide his joy as he said, "This item dates back to the early Shang Dynasty; it's a ceremonial jade weapon known as the 'King of Jade Halberds.' The Great Jade Halberd is a fine piece among ceremonial jades and symbolizes power and status. Such jade artifacts are typically only found in high-ranking noble tombs."
"Oh~ Is that so? This Shang Dynasty piece must be worth quite a bit?" I asked.
Xianxian touched his nose and said dejectedly, "The lowest would be around 300,000. That might be enough for our next expenses." As he spoke, he tossed it into my arms.
For something so small to be worth 300,000 is already quite impressive! I wiped the cold sweat from my brow and accepted it.
"Time is running out, let's take one last item!" With that, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to pull out a piece of red jade. The stone had a layer of green on top, looking exceptionally shiny and beautiful. Just as I was about to ask what it was, Xianxian excitedly exclaimed, "Jade Watermelon!?"
Jade Watermelon? I feel like I've heard that somewhere before. After thinking carefully, I suddenly remembered that Empress Dowager Cixi's most beloved treasure was indeed the Jade Watermelon! However, this watermelon must be different from hers; the time difference is too great, so it definitely couldn't be the one belonging to Empress Dowager Cixi.
"This..." I was just about to speak when Xianxian pulled me and said, "Fengfeng, you know about Cixi's treasured Jade Watermelon, right?"
I nodded, signaling him to continue. Xianxian excitedly said, "Do you know how much that watermelon sold for?"
Shaking my head, I helplessly smiled and replied, "How would I know?"
"Several tens of millions of dollars!" Xianxian's eyes were fixed on the Jade Watermelon in his hand, his face beaming with joy. "This is enough! With these items, we can go down many more times!"
"Yes, it's enough. Let's close the Coffin Lid and leave quickly to avoid getting too deep into this. We might have money to spend but no life to spend it with!" I quickly snatched the Jade Watermelon from Xianxian's hand and laughed.
Xianxian rolled his eyes at me while closing the Coffin Lid and grumbled, "You're such a jinx."
"Alright, let's go!" I hadn't forgotten that we were still near the Mercury Pool! With that, I ran off in another direction.
