Chapter 513 Curse? Open Stone!
"But most importantly—"
Ning Rongrong's tone became mysterious, "My father said that it seems that people who don't want to go in there leave. If you go down and choose to come out, you will be hurt."
"Hurt?" Tang San was puzzled.
"Or maybe it's a curse." Ning Rongrong said it in another way, not quite sure, and then gave another example, "For example: the first layer is 500 meters below the ground. Once you go down, if you go back up, you will feel slightly dizzy and vomit. The second layer is 1,000 meters above the ground. If you go down and choose to go up, you will feel a strong sense of dizziness and physical discomfort."
But Tang San thought it was normal.
After all, if a person who has lived at the foot of a mountain all year round suddenly gets the urge to climb up the mountain one day, he will experience severe dizziness or even vomiting.
But then, Ning Rongrong said, "Do you think that as long as we take it slow and adapt, it will be fine? But that's not the case. Even if we ascend slowly, we can't avoid it. And even if we are a Soul Sage, we can't avoid this dizziness when we ascend. At most, Soul Masters have stronger vitality than ordinary people, faster recovery, and a stronger ability to withstand damage."
"Moreover, the damage is stronger than the previous one! In a place like that, even if you are a Titled Douluo, if you are cursed during the ascension process, you will feel extremely uncomfortable and it will be difficult for you to fully exert your surging soul power. In theory, once you faint from the pain of the ascension curse, you can even be killed by an ordinary person!"
"Therefore, all the major forces on the continent are currently speculating that there are actually humans below the seventh layer of the ruins abyss. It's just that they chose not to return because they couldn't bear the curse, or they were directly wiped out in the process of returning because they couldn't bear the damage."
After learning about the general situation of the ruins in the Tianming City area, Zhou Qing realized that the place was definitely a relic where danger and opportunity coexisted.
But because of the "Ascending Curse", all major forces are deterred, and even the Spirit Hall does not dare to develop there.
For example, the Temple of Poseidon, although it is mysterious to all the major forces on the continent, at least they know something about it.
But what about the ancient ruins near Tianming City?
The complete unknown!
Moreover, the leaders of the major forces probably have some legends about gods, so they will instinctively maintain a sense of awe...
As for the so-called "curse", Zhou Qing had reason to suspect that in the original destiny, the Sun-Moon Continent collided with the southwest coast of Douluo Continent because the Great God King Tang, A Yin, and Tang Hao discovered the intractability of the problem and prepared to guide the power of the planet itself to destroy the ruins once and for all, and by the way, increase the foundation of Douluo Continent.
As for the humans who died in this process...
He is already a god, and the way he looks at problems is completely different from when he was a human being. Moreover, his original intention was for the future of Douluo Star. Apart from those few thoughts, he naturally didn't care about anything else.
"Based on the above reasons, Tianming City is very independent, and the ores and stones mined from the various layers of the ruins are also very valuable. In fact, some stones can even be used to mine soul guides."
According to Ning Rongrong's introduction, all the soul guides that were opened could basically not be used directly, but the people who researched soul guides in the major forces were able to replicate the soul guide core arrays in these scrapped soul guides, thereby recreating the soul guides and forming the current soul guide industry chain.
Therefore, even if it is a scrapped soul guide, for the forces that own the soul guide industry, its potential value is far greater than the soul guide itself.
"If you're lucky, you might even be able to find an evil-repelling stone."
The so-called evil-repelling stone is a black stone that can reduce the impact of the curse when rising from the ruins. It is also very simple to use, just wear it on your body.
However, most soul masters would never go there after hearing about the danger of the ruins. This evil-repelling stone is only useful to the residents of Tianming City and nearby towns, and soul masters with an adventurous spirit.
That is to say, if you find an evil-repelling stone, you have to meet the right person to sell it at a good price, otherwise it can only be sold at the price of a normal crystal.
Zhou Qing understood it, just like selling a comb to a monk. Even if the comb is inlaid with gold and jade, it is only used to comb hair. For a virtuous monk, it is useless and naturally he will not pay for it. Walking to the place where various strange stones were placed, Tang San squatted down and carefully observed a fist-sized stone in front of him, but he could not see anything.
The Purple Demon Pupil is not a X-ray Eye, and without knowing the trick, no matter how good his eyesight is or how strong his mental power is, he can hardly detect the situation inside the stone clothes.
Not to mention, the stones placed here are of a very special nature, smooth like jade, and dark in color, as if they can block the detection of spiritual power.
"This kind of stone is similar to amber and fossils. It can only be formed in the special environment of the Abyss Ruins. Ordinary means cannot reveal what is inside. Even for me, facing these stones, I can only rely on luck."
Ning Rongrong reminded Tang San not to think about finding any tricks, and also reminded Zhou Qing not to listen to other people's tips on selecting materials -
Those tricks might be useful on other stones, but they are absolutely useless on the stones obtained from the abyss ruins.
Then, Ning Rongrong talked about some precautions, that is, before selecting the stone, you cannot touch it, you can only watch with your eyes, otherwise you have to buy it directly.
The price is calculated based on the weight of the stone, 10,000 gold soul coins per pound.
“This price is really expensive!”
Zhou Qing's eyes twitched.
"I want this!"
At this moment, a girl who was about the same height as Ning Rongrong, wearing a black robe and a mask, pointed to a piece of stone that looked like a fox, but also a bit like a human.
The staff on both sides immediately put on black gloves, moved the stone to the weighing soul guide, and measured its weight, which was fifty-three kilograms.
The girl didn't bargain and just took out a black card.
After paying, the staff asked, "Excuse me, do you want to take it home, or do you want to open it on the spot?"
"on site."
The girl obviously wanted to see if these million gold soul coins were wasted.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong did not rush to choose, but decided to take a look at what kind of treasures this girl could produce.
Seeing that the stone had been placed on the cutting platform, Tang San asked in a low voice: "Could this be a sting?"
"It's impossible. I can't even tell the difference between this kind of stone and the object inside. It's impossible that it's a fake." Ning Rongrong denied it and gave a small hint, "However, generally speaking, the appearance of this kind of stone has a lot to do with the object inside. This piece of stone looks like a human or a fox, so it must be wrapped in a shallower way."
