Chapter 443 -443 Mysterious Scale
The Little Qilin lazily opened its eyes and said:
“Let me have a look.”
After a while, it occasionally showed surprise and frowned:
“This place seems to have been quite extraordinary.”
“However, there is only one barely acceptable thing ten feet underground in the northwest corner.”
“Other than that, there is nothing else.”
Jiang Fan sighed.
As expected.
The mountain tops here had been leveled.
How could there be any good things left?
As for the barely acceptable thing, he was too lazy to waste his energy on it.
The soil here had been soaked by ice and snow for years, making it as hard as iron.
Ten feet deep seemed like nothing.
But without using some means, it might not be possible to dig through it in a day.
“What? Leaving already?” Sun Chaozong said sarcastically:
“I thought you were determined to get it.”
“I didn’t expect you to run off with your tail between your legs after a moment!”
Jiang Fan frowned.
He didn’t want to pay attention to such a person.
Since he said that, how could Jiang Fan leave empty-handed?
He immediately walked to a spot in the northwest corner mentioned by the Little Qilin.
He drew the Sorrow Frost Sword and struck the ground with his palm.
With a hiss.
Despite the sharpness of the Sorrow Frost Sword, it only penetrated five feet underground.
“Boy, this place is for digging, not stabbing!”
Sun Chaozong rolled his eyes and said, “Every inch of soil here might harbor treasures.”
“Our sect’s secret technique ‘Iron Blood True Scripture’ was found in some unremarkable soil.”
“Your random stabs, not to mention whether you find anything, could even destroy any treasures you come across.”
Jiang Fan ignored him.
After retrieving the Sorrow Frost Sword, he glanced at the sword hole.
Then he took out a black iron ball.
It was one of the two Cloud Burst Iron Balls that Lin Yuheng had given him when he first came to the Green Cloud Sect.
Their power was astonishing.
Perfect for blasting open such frozen soil.
He threw the Cloud Burst Iron Ball into the hole.
Then he immediately retreated dozens of feet away.
Sun Chaozong was stunned and frowned, “What did you throw?”
Bzzz——
Suddenly.
The ground began to shake.
A massive amount of energy was surging out, on the verge of exploding.
Sun Chaozong finally realized what Jiang Fan was doing and his face changed.
He quickly ran away.
But he was a step too late.
Boom——
The Cloud Burst Iron Ball exploded.
Ten feet of frozen soil was blasted into the sky.
Sun Chaozong, at the edge of the explosion, was hit by a piece of hard frozen soil on his back and was sent flying with a thud.
He landed heavily at Jiang Fan’s feet, face down.
A metallic taste welled up in his throat, and his back was in immense pain.
No need to look, he knew his flesh was definitely torn open.
“Jiang Fan!” Sun Chaozong got up and yelled angrily!
Jiang Fan, with a blank expression, walked to the ten-foot-deep pit created by the explosion.
The frozen soil had turned charred black.
He jumped down.
With a sweep of his foot, he cleared a layer of thin soil, revealing a palm-sized black box.
Its material was unknown.
Despite being buried underground for so long, it only had slight moisture on its surface.
What caught his attention was.
The Poison Pill inside him lightly throbbed, reacting to the black box.
Sun Chaozong caught up and shouted angrily, “Messing around like that, even if there were treasures, they would be blown away…”

However.
When he saw the black box in front of Jiang Fan, he stopped mid-sentence.
His face immediately showed joy, and he shouted:
“Something’s here!”
“Something’s here!!”
After decades, something was unearthed from the cave again.
Could it be another Divine Object like the ‘Iron Blood True Scripture’?
He rushed down and grabbed the black box first.
To his surprise.
Jiang Fan didn’t compete with him, even stepping back a few steps, hiding in the distance.
Sun Chaozong was taken aback, realizing the black box might have some trap, and Jiang Fan was letting him test it first.
But by the time he reacted, his hand was already touching the black box.
In an instant!
A strong black poisonous mist burst from the black box.
Instantly swallowing Sun Chaozong’s hand.
Hiss hiss hiss——
In a breath.
His hand was corroded to bare bones.
Even the bones were rapidly melting!
The delayed pain transmitted to his brain, making Sun Chaozong scream in agony.
What terrified him more was.
The poisonous mist quickly spread from his hand to his arm.
Wherever it passed, flesh rotted and bones turned to sludge.
It was immensely more potent than the poison of the Seven-Colored Poison Toad!
At the critical moment.
A figure descended from the sky, decisively and ruthlessly chopping at Sun Chaozong’s poisoned right shoulder.
With a puff.
His right arm was severed at the shoulder and thrown away, landing on the ground.
Instantly, the arm turned into sludge.
The nearby frozen soil was corroded into a three-foot deep pit!
“How many times have I told you, don’t be reckless!”
The newcomer was none other than Fan Xingkong.
Clad in a chain-woven iron armor, his burly body was covered in explosive muscles.
His bearded face also had chunked muscles, making him look extremely fierce.
At this moment, he slapped Sun Chaozong and scolded angrily.
“Every treasure here has some degree of poison.”
“How many people have lost their lives for this?”
“Why haven’t you learned your lesson?”
As he spoke.
He glared harshly at Jiang Fan and snorted:
“You sure are cunning!”
“Using our sect’s disciple to test the danger for you!”
Although he despised Jiang Fan.
He had to admit, Jiang Fan had a stronger mentality than Sun Chaozong!
It was Jiang Fan’s first time in the Holy Land, and while unaware of the poisonous nature of the treasures, he still sensed the danger and acted cautiously.
On the other hand, despite being warned repeatedly about the poison, Sun Chaozong couldn’t curb his greed and fell victim to it.
The contrast between their mentalities was stark!
Jiang Fan cupped his hands and said, “Elder Fan, it’s unfair to accuse this junior.”
“I only acted clumsily, not as quickly as Senior Brother Sun.”
“How dare I let Senior Brother Sun take risks for me?”
Despite his words.
He was very cautious with the now-triggered black box.
He retreated several more steps, enveloping himself with a layer of Spiritual Power, and threw a handful of soil towards the black box.
With a bang.
The black box lid abruptly popped open.
Another puff of poisonous mist burst forth, spreading rapidly.
Fan Xingkong waved his hand, scattering the mist away from himself and Sun Chaozong.
Jiang Fan, being prepared, blocked the mist with his Spiritual Power.
Fan Xingkong glared fiercely at Jiang Fan.
This was clumsy?
You’re more cunning than a rabbit!
You didn’t fall for the second trap either!
Jiang Fan acted oblivious and approached the black box.
Inside, a palm-sized scale lay quietly, emitting a faint poisonous mist.
“Is this what the Little Qilin was referring to?”
Jiang Fan picked it up, examined it briefly, and was surprised.
“A scale?”
“Besides being quite tough, it really isn’t anything special.”
No wonder the Little Qilin sensed it was very ordinary, barely considered a treasure.
While Jiang Fan was thinking this.
Unexpectedly, he noticed his blood boiling uncontrollably.
“The ‘Iron Blood True Scripture’ activated itself?”
