Chapter 587: The Ten Divine Items (Part 2)
After a brief contemplation, Tang San looked at the second divine item. This one appeared even stranger; it looked like a stone, with an amber-like luster and irregular in shape, twisted and contorted as if it had been squeezed and kneaded.
Tang San paused for a longer time this time, then moved on to the third divine item.
Mei Gongzi followed, also observing carefully, but she realized that her observations weren’t yielding much of an insight. At least for the first two items, she couldn’t make sense of them or guess what they were.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Tang San arrived at the third divine item. It was a mirror, round and slightly larger than a palm. Its surface was slightly convex and it appeared to be carved from a special crystal, with a circle of metal around it, engraved with intricate patterns. Among the first three items, this one was definitely the most visually appealing.
Tang San didn’t stay too long and continued to the fourth divine item.
At this moment, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's voice rang out, "Eight minutes remain."
This reminder was not for Tang San and Mei Gongzi, but for the Scorching Sword Pair, as they had been unable to move away from the first item, staring at it with barely concealed excitement. Big Cat was next to them, also eyeing the item with obvious interest.
By this time, Tang San had arrived in front of the fourth divine item. Seeing this item, his eyebrows raised slightly. It was yet again something he’d never expected: a book, ancient in appearance and with a dark golden case. The book was full of extremely complex writing, though he was certain that the characters did not belong to any known language on the Daemon Continent. The dark golden surface shimmered brilliantly, making it very eye-catching.
This time, Tang San did not leave immediately but stood before the crystal case, carefully observing it as if trying to find some clues.
He spent a full three minutes before moving on, longer than the time he had spent on the previous items combined.
Mei Gongzi, unable to discern the significance of the book, had already moved on, continuing to observe the items ahead. She and Tang San could choose four items, so there was a lot of room for selection.
Tang San stopped in front of the fifth crystal case. Inside was a saber, its blade crimson and emitting a faint glow. Strangely, the crimson saber appeared to be in a semi-ethereal state, giving a vague and unreal feeling. It also vibrated slightly, as if it was about to break out of the crystal case once it was opened.
Tang San pondered briefly. A flicker of a different color appeared in his eyes, and a slight smile on his face. Then, without hesitation, he moved to the next item.
Tang San didn't know why this beak was in the hands of the Ancestral Court, but clearly, this must have been left by the ancestors of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor. A beak like this being a divine item indicated that it once belonged to a god—and for it to be presented like this, it was even likely that it originated from a Demon Emperor. So why was this item not in the hands of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor?
If this item fell into the hands of the Scorching Sword Pair, it would undoubtedly be of immense help to the Red-Crowned Crane.
Tang San smiled. What a treasure, truly a treasure! The Ancestral Court must have prepared this item specifically for those two.
Having examined all ten items, Tang San was confident.
All ten were extraordinary, but they varied in level. Different items had different functions, and suitability was key. Naturally, there was also the matter of value; one high-value item could easily be worth two of the lesser ones.
Mei Gongzi came to Tang San's side and asked softly, "How should we choose?"
"Do you have any particular favorites?"
Mei Gongzi shook her head. "Besides the amethyst stone and that beak, I can't tell what the others do. How can we choose?"
"Shall I choose then?"
"Hmph. Why do you always seem like you know what you’re doing, even when you’re in front of something new?"
In spite of her words, Mei Gongzi was clearly confident in Tang San's knowledge. Such matters were best left to him.
Tang San nodded at her, indicating she could rest assured.
While they chatted, Big Cat and the other two were still observing. Big Cat finished first; seeing that Tang San and Mei Gongzi had already finished, he hurriedly walked over and asked Tang San in a low voice, "What should I choose later?"
