Cries of astonishment rose one after another from all around. Everyone was left dazzled by the Source Stone extracted from Wang Teng's ore.
An Lan was beside himself with excitement, his heart rising and falling like a roller coaster. He had thought they were bound to lose, after all, Dan Zhi Grass had been extracted from Adris's ore and was worth more than five hundred billion. Ordinary ores simply could not compare.
Yet Wang Teng had delivered a huge surprise.
The ore he had chosen actually contained a rare treasure as well—and it was an insect.
Generally speaking, living creatures were more precious and valuable than plants.
Among the rare objects extracted from cut stones throughout history, plants accounted for the largest proportion, animals came second, and other special items were the rarest.
Therefore, this little insect was very likely worth more than the Dan Zhi Grass.
Moreover, it was a creature found within a lightning-element Source Stone. The creature within had to be lightning-element as well. Lightning-element Source Stones were already rare, so a creature of the same attribute was naturally even more exceptionally precious.
Adris and the others looked awful. The sudden reversal had nearly shattered their composure.
"An Ancient Source Stone!"
The person in charge of the Gambling Mine Workshop beat his chest and stamped his feet. He looked utterly miserable, and even his lips trembled as he spoke.
Wang Teng smiled faintly, rose to his feet, walked over, picked up the lightning-element Source Stone, and placed it in his palm.
After being cut open, the Source Stone was only half a palm in size. Once the stone dust on its surface had been wiped away, its violet radiance shone brilliantly. A tiny purple insect lay within, so inconspicuous that one might overlook it without close inspection.
