Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 521 - Five-Colored Stones

Chapter 521 - Five-Colored Stones

These stones were multicolored and gave off a brilliant glow. Even without the need for illumination, they could illuminate the path ahead for pedestrians.
James was curious and reached out to touch the stones. However, he discovered that the temperature of the stones was even lower than he had imagined.
He felt as though he was about to be frostbitten.
Klein hurriedly stopped him. "Don't touch those things. Not only are those stones cold, they also absorb the power of humans!"
James raised his head in shock with a puzzled look on his face. What? They could absorb the power of humans?
What kind of stones were these that they were so terrifying?
If Klein's guess was right, these stones should be the legendary Five-Colored Stones that were once used to mend the sky..
People thought that the Five-Colored Stones used to mend the sky were just ordinary stones, but that was not the case. The Five-Colored Stones themselves were powerful.
Their weight and quality exceeded people's imaginations. Even a small stone could not be lifted by an ordinary person.
The temperature was extremely low when it was absolutely still. It could even absorb all the heat energy in the surroundings.
At this moment, James finally understood why the temperature in this place was so low. It turned out that it was all because the stone was absorbing the heat energy in the surroundings.
Most of the energy in a human body was also heat energy. Once it was completely absorbed, a person's life would be in danger.
At this point in his analysis, James' face was already filled with fear. He quickly hid far away from these stones.
How did such rocks appear in this mysterious tree hole?
He thought for a moment before saying, "Should we quickly move forward and avoid these terrifying rocks? I feel like all the strength in my body is about to be sucked dry by them!"
James was already extremely cold. He hugged his shoulders tightly as his body trembled.
Klein remained unmoved. He stopped in his tracks and stopped moving forward.
He frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the Five-Colored Stones.
If he guessed correctly, the substance that could cure the venom of snakes should be hidden in the Five-Colored Stones.
"The Five-Colored Stones have powerful divine power to begin with. It was said that grinding this stone into powder can indeed cure all poisons in the world."
Furthermore, it was a method of fighting poison with poison. Therefore, one had to pay attention to the dosage when using it as a medicine.
What, the Five-Colored Stones could be ground into powder to detoxify the poison? James felt as though his worldview had been refreshed.
If it was as Klein had said, and the Five-Colored Stones was the life-saving straw to save Cruise, then they had to think of ways to obtain these resources.
James shook his head and said, "Should we bring one back directly, or should we grind some of the stones into powder and give it to Cruise to consume?"
Klein shook his head gently. "It's not that simple. We can't move these stones no matter how big or small they are..."
Even if they could move them and put them on their bodies, the energy in their bodies would be completely depleted by the Five-Colored Stones before they could return.
More importantly, the hardness of the Five-Colored Stones had already surpassed that of the legendary diamond. Without a special tool, it was definitely impossible to grind it.
In that case, things had already gone in a strange circle. Although they had found the antidote, they could not take it back or use it.
"Then what should we do? If it really doesn't work, we can try using some of the divine weapons that we have on us!"
After saying that, James had already summoned his bow and arrow.
He was very confident in his ability to shoot arrows. He could even imagine the scene of the stones being torn apart by one arrow.
Perhaps it was because it was too cold, James decided to warm up while he was at it.
He conjured an arrow that was the sturdiest he had tempered himself and shot it with his bow.
With a whoosh, the feather flew out.
Pa! It happened to land on one of the smaller rocks.
'As expected of a divine archer.' Even Klein couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
Unfortunately, this destructive arrow didn't cause much damage to the small rock. The rock didn't even move.
But the short arrow was sent flying, and the arrow broke!
James was stunned for a few seconds.
His worldview was refreshed once again, and his most confident skill instantly became useless.
He had never expected that his greatest enemy in his life would be a stone!
Klein sighed softly and patted James on the shoulder,
"Don't be discouraged, and don't doubt yourself. This is definitely not a problem with your ability. The hardness of a Five-Colored Stone is indeed beyond imagination..."
James still refused to believe it. He immediately shot a few more arrows, and with a few bangs, the same outcome happened again.
At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to say that there was always someone better than you.
Putting down his weapon, James ran over and tried to pick up the smallest stone, but he realized that he couldn't move it at all!
It was probably because the stone's interior was too dense that even the molecules were tightly bound together.
Therefore, external forces were unable to destroy it. Only an endless stream of heat and kinetic energy was rapidly absorbed by the stone.
James looked at Klein and said, "Klein, although this thing is rare, it's like a hard turtle shell that can't be opened or used. Let's think of another way!"
Klein shook his head. From his experience, there shouldn't be any other way.
Klein asked, "What grade is the bow in your hand now?"
James was taken aback as he quickly gave an accurate answer.
"It's a tier 8 divine artifact, but the short arrow I used for the first time was carefully refined by me. Furthermore, it has some special powers that can reach tier 9!"
Klein nodded. In other words, a divine artifact that had already reached tier 9 wouldn't be able to split open the Five-Colored Stones in front of them
'What if it's tier 10?' The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Klein was shocked.
At the moment, he had only grasped a tier 8 spell. At most, he could control a tier 9 weapon.
James was also very surprised. "Don't even think about it. Let's not talk about it. In this situation, where can we find a tier 10 weapon? Even if we can find one, it's impossible to control and use it if we don't improve our abilities!"
Time weapons only existed in legends. Almost no one had been able to obtain one.
Not only did it require some valuable raw materials, it also required a lot of luck. Once it failed, all the efforts before would be in vain.
Klein sighed lightly. In the current situation, he could only resort to risky tactics. If he wanted to split the rocks, he needed a top-grade weapon!
"Follow me in to find the materials. We need to refine a tier 10 weapon in the shortest time possible!"
James felt that Klein was probably crazy.
Not to mention that they only had eight hours, even if they were given eighty days or eight years, it was impossible.
However, Klein had always been stubborn. There was no reason to change his decision.
He left the cave filled with Five-Colored Stones and walked deeper into the cave.
Thankfully, the temperature inside gradually rose. After he was far away from the Five-Colored Stones, the uncomfortable feeling from before had disappeared.
