851: Chapter 851 Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone!

The Blue-skinned people's face changed drastically upon hearing this: "No! Absolutely not! You also want to snatch the holy stone..."

Ye Chen squatted in front of the Blue-skinned people, looking at it with a smile.

"Rest assured, I'm just going to take a look. I guarantee I won't take anything."

Just look, but not take?

Do you think I'm an idiot, that easy to fool???

The Blue-skinned people shook its head frantically.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"The holy stone is our ancestral heritage and the foundation of this entire city. Outsiders aren't even allowed to touch it!"

As it spoke, it used its body to block the stone steps behind it, spreading its arms wide, striking a pose of being ready to die for its cause...

Ye Chen sighed.

"I'm a very reasonable person. If we can talk things out, I prefer not to use force."

"But don't make things too difficult for me, right?"

The Blue-skinned people still wouldn't budge.

"Even if you kill me, I won't let you step one foot into the sacred hall!"

"Furthermore, my clansmen are all in deep slumber. Once you touch that place, they will awaken."

"By then..."

"You will only be bringing disaster upon yourselves!"

Ye Chen shrugged helplessly.

"Threatening me now?"

"Fine!"

The Blue-skinned people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this...

Is this person giving up?

However.

Before it could relax, Ye Chen's tone gradually turned cold.

"Since you insist on acting this way, then I won't be polite."

Before the Blue-skinned people could react to what those words meant, the little bear on Ye Chen's shoulder leaped down nimbly.

Then.

It squatted in front of the Blue-skinned people, tilting its head to look up at it, revealing a row of milky-white little teeth.

It looked innocent and naive, like a month-old puppy.

The Blue-skinned people looked down at it, and before it could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another movement at its feet.

That penguin, less than half a meter tall, had wandered to its feet at some point, staring up at it with its head tilted.

The Blue-skinned people: "???"

No...

Are these people all devils?

Threatening me without saying a word???

Its fear of this penguin was already etched into its bones; when the entire city was frozen years ago, it was this devil that did it.

At this moment, that "Evil God" was standing right at its feet, less than a foot away.

It could even feel the chill from the creature seeping through the ground into its knees.

"You... don't come over here!"

"The holy stone is sacred, you cannot..."

Ye Chen spoke with a smile.

"I am a good person. I'll give you three more seconds to consider."

"Three."

"Two."

"One..."

The Blue-skinned people broke down.

"I'll take you to see it!!!"

"I'll take you all to see the holy stone... please don't hurt me!"

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, reached out to rub the little bear's head, and looked down at the penguin: "Alright, stop scaring it. Let's go see the spirit stones."

The little bear wagged its tail, looking very happy, even drooling.

The penguin also withdrew its gaze and waddled after Ye Chen's feet.

It knew...

Following this guy, it should be able to eat a few more pieces!

The Blue-skinned people scrambled up from the ground and turned to walk down the stone steps.

Ye Chen followed behind.

Saintess An Miaoyi and Mo Yuan stood where they were, looking at each other.

Mo Yuan finally couldn't hold back: "Wait... they were babbling for a long time just now, what exactly did they say?"

Saintess An Miaoyi shook her head.

"I can't understand it either, but it looks like Ye Chen made it compromise."

Mo Yuan's expression was very ugly: "Neither of us can understand them. If Ye Chen is keeping things from us, what should we do?"

"If you're asking me, who should I ask?"

Saintess An Miaoyi followed along, "Let's follow and see."

The two followed one after another, trailing Ye Chen into the tower gate.

Soon.

The Blue-skinned people led the three through the narrow door at the bottom of the tower and into a tunnel extending downwards.

The tunnel was much longer than imagined, slanting deep into the underground.

After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the path ahead suddenly lit up.

Ye Chen didn't stop walking, and the moment he stepped off the last stone step, the view before his eyes suddenly opened up.

At the end of the tunnel was an endless underground abyss.

However, the rock walls in the darkness were completely covered in stones emitting a milky-white glow.

The stones varied in size, but they were like stars, illuminating the entire underground space as bright as day.

The air was filled with rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth; every breath felt like soaking in a spirit spring, and one could even feel that pure energy drilling into their pores through their skin.

Mo Yuan screamed in shock: "This... are these spirit stones???"

Heavens!

Before his eyes were spirit stones covering the mountains and plains!?

Not ten or twenty, not a hundred or two hundred, but an uncountable number, stacked layer upon layer, filling the entire abyss like a mountain of spirit stones, or perhaps a sea of them.

"Good heavens..."

Saintess An Miaoyi rarely lost her composure, and it took a long while for her to come back to her senses.

"So many spirit stones..."

"The entire Kunlun Ruins combined wouldn't even amount to a tenth of this place."

Mo Yuan crouched down directly and reached out to touch a fist-sized spirit stone at his feet.

The moment his fingertips touched the stone surface, a stream of spiritual energy, so pure it made his meridians tremble, surged through his fingertips, almost making him cry out in pleasure on the spot.

He jerked his hand back and looked at Ye Chen, his eyes red: "Ye Chen! These spirit stones, whoever sees them gets a share!"

Ye Chen glanced at him: "Do you even deserve it?"

"You!!!"

Mo Yuan was furious, "If you dare to hoard this all for yourself, I guarantee I'll let the whole world know..."

"Sure."

Ye Chen nodded, "Then I'll just have you die here."

Mo Yuan's eyes were red: "You dare?"

"Slap!!!"

Ye Chen slapped him, sending Mo Yuan straight to the ground.

"Do you see if I dare?"

Mo Yuan fell to the ground, looking dazed.

He never expected...

That Ye Chen would actually dare to hit him!!!

That damned bastard!

Especially in front of Saintess An Miaoyi!

He wanted to stand up and fight Ye Chen to the death, but one look from Ye Chen scared him right back down.

Saintess An Miaoyi, standing to the side, looked helpless.

This guy was too self-righteous...

This expanse of spirit stones was incredibly tempting, but it was Ye Chen who discovered them after all.

And what happened?

That idiot Mo Yuan actually went straight to threatening him???

Ye Chen ignored Mo Yuan's ferocious glare and instead looked at the spirit stones in the distance with excitement.

Damn it!

If he could empty out all the spirit stones here, wouldn't he be able to create so many powerhouses?

By then...

He could convert the spirit stones into the [shanhai bottle], and then directly mold powerhouses.

Damn it!

That would definitely be able to create an army!

The Blue-skinned people was currently cowering in the shadows at the tunnel exit, its face full of panic.

Watching Ye Chen's excited expression, it said urgently: "You cannot touch these holy stones!"

"They are all left behind by our ancestors and are the foundation of the entire city. Once moved, my clansmen will awaken!"

"You must leave quickly! While they haven't woken up yet, there is still time!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently: "These things should have been shared by the people of Earth in the first place. What do you mean by claiming them for yourselves?"

The Blue-skinned people: "???"

Ye Chen looked at the surrounding spirit stones, his eyes shining: "Therefore... sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone!"

The Blue-skinned people: "???"

Ye Chen looked down at the little bear at his feet and gestured with his chin toward the endless spirit stones: "Go, loot them."

The Blue-skinned people: "???"

Is this human language?

This is simply robber logic!

Although...

These spirit stones are indeed resources from Earth.

But.

They belong to us now.

This guy is actually just starting to rob us; he's simply not acting like a human...

However.

Before it could even react, the little bear's eyes were already glowing.

The next second.

Like a bolt of white lightning, it shot out.

When it landed, its body had already swelled in the wind, transforming into a giant bear three zhang tall.

With all four paws on the ground, it lunged toward the nearby abyss wall.

It clawed at the wall with its thick front paws, its claws hooking onto a half-man-sized spirit stone, and pried it downwards.

"Crack!"

The spirit stone detached from the rock wall, and the little bear opened its gaping maw and inhaled.

Air currents surged, and that spirit stone spun and flew into its mouth, stored away into its abdominal storage space.

Then.

The second piece.

The third piece.

The fourth piece.

The little bear was like an excavator running at full power, clawing its way along, stones falling with every swipe of its claws, spirit stones flying into its mouth one after another, so fast that it was leaving afterimages.

The spirit stones on the rock wall were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally densely embedded spirit stones were like being erased bit by bit by an eraser, with more and more grey-black rock surfaces exposed.

Mo Yuan stood where he was, completely stunned.

He watched helplessly as the little bear looted frantically, until even the ground under his feet was affected, with spirit stones being pried up one by one, and only then did he suddenly react and roar.

"Ye Chen! You are too fucking greedy!"

"You're swallowing all these spirit stones by yourself? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?!"

Saintess An Miaoyi also had a complex expression, but she didn't speak.

She could tell that Ye Chen always acted as he pleased; since he had ordered that bear to loot, it meant he had no intention of sharing with anyone at all.

But even so, she didn't have any complaints.

Because the world is just like that: the weak are the prey of the strong.

Ye Chen ignored Mo Yuan.

Because, to him, Mo Yuan was just an idiot, not even worth mentioning.

A short figure suddenly darted out from his feet.

It was that penguin.

It could be seen flapping its short wings, waddling toward another rock wall.

But it didn't have the large physique of the little bear, nor could it grow larger.

It just used its yellow beak to peck at a spirit stone on the rock wall.

"Click."

The spirit stone detached from the rock wall and fell to the ground.

The penguin lowered its head, picked up the spirit stone, tilted its head, and swallowed it.

"Gulp."

It was swallowed.

Then it pecked at the second piece.

And swallowed it too.

The third, fourth, fifth piece...

Its movements couldn't be called fast, but it won through persistence, and it specifically picked the smaller, easier-to-detach ones.

Because of this, Ye Chen just turned a blind eye.

If it weren't for the penguin, he probably wouldn't have known that there was a spirit stone mountain range hidden here...

He was greedy, but not to that extent.
