0585. Silver Maze

Bang!

Li Mu cut the god-level rough stone with his knife. Not only did he not leave any mark on the stone skin, but a mysterious force even caused the stone knife to bounce up.

"What?"

Li Mu's arms were numb and he was shocked.

So hard?

When I watched the black cloak stall owner cut the stone, it was like peeling tofu. He raised the knife and dropped it, and the stone skin fell off. It was a very simple thing, but why did he cut it with his own knife? It seemed like he was cutting on the immortal gold iron.

He looked at the stall owner in black cloak.

The owner of the black cloak stall said: "The reason why the original stone contains immortal crystals is not as simple as ordinary stone, especially the upper layer of stone skin, which is naturally hard and comparable to divine iron, so a special stone-breaking knife is needed to break the stone. , the stone skins of many top-grade rough stones are excellent materials for making armors and shields. An ordinary knife cannot penetrate them at all. If they are broken open by force, the fairy crystal inside will be damaged and the energy will be lost."

This is known to many stone gamblers and rough stone masters.

But Li Mu is half-assed and doesn't know.

The black cloak stall owner said this, which was tantamount to 'popularizing science' for Li Mu.

Li Mu remained silent.

He is self-aware, and he is basically a rookie among rookies in the original stone. If it were not for the [Sky Eye] and [Chaos Qi] cultivated through innate skills, he would cheat and know the situation inside the original stone in advance. Shi definitely loses ten times out of ten.

This reaction made the black cloak stall owner's eyes show disappointment.

This god-level rough stone has a great origin. He has tried many times to unlock the rough stone and gain a glimpse of its internal secrets, but he has exhausted various methods and cannot unlock the rough stone.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, he traveled around the world and set up stalls everywhere, hoping to see the true heroes hidden in the grass. Maybe when the opportunity comes, someone can unlock this rough stone.

Li Mu performed very well today.

Especially the means and methods used by Li Mu to select rough stones, the black cloak stall owner himself has never seen or heard of it, especially the 100% accuracy rate, which is very amazing.

That's why he was willing to take out this god-level rough stone and let Li Mu decipher it.

But now it seems that Li Mu has good skills in selecting stones, but when it comes to interpreting stones, he knows nine out of ten - but knows nothing about them.

Wrong person.

The stall owner in black cloak was about to take back the stone knife and rough stone.

At this time, Li Mu raised his head and asked, "Please tell me, what is the most basic method of interpreting stones?"

Um?

The black cloak stall owner's eyes flashed with light again.

He was surprised that the three words Li Mu asked were 'the most basic' rather than 'the most important'.

They are all three words with similar meanings. To a layman, they sound almost the same.

But in his opinion, the inner meaning is completely different.

The years seem to be whizzing back in an instant.

He remembered from a distance that that sunny afternoon when he first started trying to solve the stone, the first thing he asked his father was the same thing.

"Each piece of raw stone has its own unique star pattern. This is a natural rune formation. Only by following the positive direction of the rune formation can the stone be deconstructed and the fairy crystal inside ensure that it will not be destroyed... Unraveling the stone is actually breaking the formation.”

The black cloak stall owner said.

This sentence is also the exact words my father answered back then, every word is correct.

Li Mu listened and thought about it carefully.

He didn't ask any more questions, but directly opened his eyes, circulated the chaos energy, and carefully observed the rough stone in front of him, looking for the so-called 'star pattern'.

This time, he saw something that others would never see.

Under the gaze of the Heavenly Eye, in the outer layer of stone skin about 20 centimeters thick, there were strange lines that he had never noticed before, like silver hairs embedded in the stone skin. Inside, there is a glimmer of light that cannot be seen by others at all times.

These silver hairs look like a bird's-eye view of a maze. The densely packed passages and hairs make people feel dizzy just by looking at them.

Li Mu's vision was within this layer of stone skin.

What is inside the original stone behind the stone skin cannot be seen with the eyes of the sky.

However, Li Mu had already understood that the path to unraveling the god-level rough stone lay within the veins of the silver labyrinth of this layer of stone skin. Once the 'maze' was solved, the contents inside the rough stone would naturally be revealed.

He steeled himself and continued to observe carefully.

time flies.

Li Mu stood motionless.

Just when everyone thought that Li Mu might give up, suddenly, he took action again. The fin-shaped stone knife in his hand slowly drew out, and the knife cut on the stone skin of the god-level rough stone.

laugh!

A soft sound.

There was a sound like a piece of tissue being torn apart. This time, the fish-fin-shaped stone knife did not bounce back, but penetrated into the stone skin to a depth of about five finger widths.

A look of shock instantly appeared on the face of the black cloaked stall owner's mask.

"What? You actually broke the stone skin?"

He jumped up directly, his eyes flashing with hot light, staring at Li Mu.

Take a deep breath.

Take another deep breath.

The stall owner in black cloak, who had always been calm, tried hard to suppress the shock and excitement in his heart, and said: "You... how did you do it?"

However, Li Mu did not respond to his question.

At this time, Li Mu had already entered samadhi.

He was completely immersed in a strange state, with a face like an old monk, neither joy nor sorrow. He seemed to have lost his perception and feedback to everything in the outside world. The fin-shaped stone knife in his hand was still stabbed at the god level. In the stone skin of the original stone, as his wrist turned and scratched on the stone skin, the knife marks outlined strange patterns.

Li Mu seemed to have completely lost consciousness of everything in the outside world.

The stall owner in black cloak reacted.

Although he didn't know what kind of mystery Li Mu had glimpsed in this god-level rough stone, what was certain was that he must have found a way to unlock this god-level rough stone and was completely immersed in it.

At this time, Li Mu must not be disturbed.

Otherwise, it is easy to lose all your efforts.

He quickly held his breath, stopped asking questions, and observed carefully.

And the surrounding people who were forced to eat melon gradually came to understand.

Especially the short and fat businessman, his eyes began to flow.

There was a faint look of resentment on his face, because it could be seen that [Crazy Sword] Li Mu's methods were cruel and ruthless, and his killing was decisive. He had provoked this person, and he was afraid that he would never survive, so it was better to take advantage of him. god……

The short and fat businessman observed for a while and confirmed that Li Mu had really fallen into trance. He raised his mind and suddenly ejected his body, which was huddled on the ground like a fat shrimp ball. He chose to attack sneakily. He showed a long sharp knife in his hand and stabbed him with it. Li Mu who is in concentration.

Sneak attack!

At this moment, the businessman who was greedy for life and fearful of death showed his considerable strength, and turned out to be a master of mortal cultivation.

Ding Yi on the side was shocked and was about to take action.

"court death."

The black cloak stall owner was the first to take action.

I saw him flicking his long sleeves.

No power fluctuations were seen.

But the short and fat businessman seemed to have been struck by an invisible divine whip. He was splashed with blood and fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face. His body twisted and twitched crazily on the ground. His mouth was wide, but he could not speak. Any sound that comes out is extremely weird.

Absolutely no one is allowed to disturb Li Mu, so that Li Mu can successfully interpret the stone.

This is the only thing the black cloak stall owner wants to do now.

Everyone around looked shocked when they saw this scene.

Although some people have already guessed that this black cloak stall owner is a master who cannot be underestimated, but they did not expect that he is so high. Not to mention anything else, the skill just now is already a strength that can only be found in the military realm. .

time flies.

Li Mu was completely immersed in a certain state of trance.

His eyes had no focus, and seemed to be staring at the cylindrical god-level rough stone, or looking into the void behind the god-level rough stone. He held a fish-fin-shaped stone knife in his right hand, as if he was a painter swiping a brush, in the god-level rough stone. The surface of the original stone waved.

The knife marks are still there.

The fin stone knife outlined a zigzag pattern, and in a blink of an eye, most of one side of the god-level rough stone was mottled and difficult to distinguish.

As more and more knife marks appeared on the stone skin, changes appeared.

A strange spiritual power flows out of it more and more clearly.

The black cloak stall owner's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Time passed slowly amidst the subtle sound of the fish-fin-shaped stone knife cutting through the stone skin.

An hour passed.

The surface of the cylindrical god-level rough stone has been densely engraved with various twists and turns. There is golden light pouring out from the gaps in the stone skin, as if there is a sun sealed in the rough stone, and the sunlight shines through. It shot out through the cracks in the stone skin, piercing people's eyes.

Extremely rich spiritual energy fluctuations also flowed from the gaps.

Li Mu was sweating profusely, and there was even a thin layer of blood on his temples.

This is the result of excessive consumption, thinking and operation of spiritual consciousness.

Li Mu has almost reached a limit.

And at this time, the fin-shaped stone knife in his hand became slower and slower, trembling, and finally feebly carved the last mark.

The stone knife was pulled out from the stone skin.

Li Mu only felt that his eyes were bright, and his spiritual consciousness returned to his body.

His body can move again.

What no one knows is what Li Mu went through.

In fact, before that, the moment he handed over the stone knife, his spiritual consciousness turned into a wave of energy, which involuntarily poured into the stone skin along the fin-shaped stone knife, and then transformed into Li Mu's feeling, as if it were his soul. As if out of body, his spiritual consciousness turned into a little person, trapped in the silver pattern maze, running continuously, looking for the only exit route in the maze.

This process consumes a lot of money.

Li Mu's body quietly and automatically operated [Innate Skills], and with the accumulation of the past, he persisted until the last moment. He swung the fish-fin-shaped stone knife with the last knife, completely decomposing the stone skin on the surface of the god-level raw stone.

At the same moment, his little consciousness finally walked out of the maze and returned to his body.

At this moment, unprecedented fatigue swept over Li Mu.

He didn't care about anything else and immediately sat down on the spot, exercising his energy and breathing to regain his strength.

At this time, everyone, including the black cloak stall owner, focused their attention on the god-level rough stone.

Everyone wants to know what is found in this rough stone.

From the cracks of the knife marks on the stone skin, golden light flowed out. A strong spiritual energy spurted out together with the golden light, as if it was about to lift off the stone skin.

Click, click, click!

With a sound that sounded like an eggshell breaking, the cracks in the stone skin became larger and larger.

Then, everyone's faces showed an expression of disbelief.

Because they heard, dong dong dong, a sound like the beating of a divine organ, surging out from the inside of the god-level rough stone, becoming more and more powerful and clear, giving people the feeling that there was something sleeping in it from the ancient times. The gods are gradually awakening.

The black cloak stall owner couldn't describe his mood at this time.

A living creature was discovered in this god-level rough stone?
