Stealing Light Through a Wall

If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Zhang Chen was practically like fire and water, he probably would have believed the ghost outside the door and opened it!

Inside the room, Zhang Chen held the inkstone in his hand, his eyes fixed on the direction of the main door, a hint of vigilance in his gaze, his body trembling slightly: "I didn't expect the plot from the storybooks to actually appear in reality."

Over there, the Little Fox Spirit's eyes looked at the main door, listening to the increasingly urgent knocking from outside. Her eyes darted around non-stop, and she really wanted to curse in her heart: "Damn it, wasn't this thing severely injured by Zhang Chen last time? Why is it still coming to bother me? This can't go on. Am I supposed to carry articles in my mouth and run to the room next door every day?"

The knocking outside the door became more and more urgent, and the Little Fox also paced back and forth anxiously. As her eyes darted around, she suddenly saw the hole in the 'party wall' that Zhang Chen had blocked. A golden light flashed in the Fox Spirit's eyes. The next moment, a needle and thread from Zhang Chen's basket suddenly flew up, like a bullet leaving a chamber, accurately piercing the hole and reopening the hole that Zhang Chen had drilled.

This didn't stop. The Little Fox controlled the steel needle, constantly moving back and forth through the wall. In an instant, over thirty holes appeared on the wall surface.

The party wall was too large, and the thirty-odd holes were not noticeable. They looked as if they had been 'pecked' out by insects or ants. Even upon closer inspection, it would be difficult to detect them.

"Perfect! My Qingqiu NanNan is truly a little genius!" The Little Fox looked at the holes in the wall, a hint of smugness in her eyes. Then she looked at Zhang Chen, whose forehead was dripping with cold sweat, a hint of guilt in her eyes, and then the next moment she darted out and knocked the door bolt open.

"Don't!" Zhang Chen saw the Little Fox's action and couldn't help but cry out, his soul frightened out of him. He wanted to rush over to stop her, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Bang~

The room door was suddenly knocked open, and the Little Fox was sent flying out. A gust of black wind blew into the room. At this moment, an invisible energy passed through the holes in the wall, stimulating a golden light to burst forth from Zhang Chen's body.

That golden light was invisible to the naked eye. It passed directly through the cracks in the wall and shot into Zhang Chen's room.

"Ah~"

Only a scream was heard from within the black wind, and then the wind and sand disappeared, and all anomalies vanished without a trace.

Outside, the wind and waves were calm, and the lights in the room were still on. Only the swaying main door seemed to be narrating that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

"What was that?" Zhang Chen was bewildered. He looked at the inkstone in his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and muttered softly: "Did I repel that ghostly thing? Or is this inkstone a treasure that can injure the strange?"

The Little Fox Spirit beside him rolled her eyes when she heard this and muttered to herself: "If it weren't for me, the immortal aunt, you would have been eaten long ago!"

Zhang Chen didn't know what was happening next door. He was completely unaffected. He slowly stood up, feeling full of energy. After washing up, he chewed on dried meat and walked towards the mountain.

Along the way, he conveniently caught two wild chickens. Zhang Chen arrived at the Ancient Tomb again, and then his eyes looked at the Stone Tablet, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"What's going on?"

Two large clusters of Experience Points were flickering beneath the Stone Tablet. The most crucial thing was that blood was flowing from the words on the Stone Tablet again.

"Why is it bleeding again?" Zhang Chen looked at the blood continuously seeping from the Stone Tablet, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then he looked at the two large clusters of Experience Points on the ground, a hint of surprise in his eyes: Experience Points +150.

Both clusters of Experience Points were one hundred and fifty points, which was equivalent to Zhang Chen's current daily income.

Zhang Chen stepped forward and collected the Experience Points, and then the golden finger panel refreshed:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[1 Skill (Second Tier): Light of the Righteous God (0/5000)]

[2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Points: 3350]

"This Stone Tablet seems a bit strange." Zhang Chen circled the Stone Tablet, then had a sudden thought. A golden light flickered in his eyes, and then Zhang Chen looked at the Stone Tablet, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "What a powerful anomaly!"

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Chen could see 'qi' flowing around the strange things. For example, golden qi flowed around Zhang Chen himself, while Qing qi flowed around the Fox Spirit. The blood-red qi flowing around the Stone Tablet in front of him was actually blood-red.

Pure blood-red! It was as red as a mass of wriggling, viscous blood. This was the first time Zhang Chen had seen such a viscous 'qi'.

"What the hell? The Stone Tablet actually turned into a strange thing?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.

He knew that ever since he learned there was something strange in the Great Tomb, he had been on guard, occasionally activating his divine eyes to check everywhere. Because he hadn't found any strange monsters for the time being, he hadn't raised his guard.

When this Stone Tablet was dug out, he had also checked it, but there was no 'qi' present. It was just an ordinary Stone Tablet. How could it have 'qi' flowing around it after only a few days? Did it just turn into a strange thing?

Zhang Chen secretly cursed himself for being 'too comfortable and careless. From now on, I have to investigate every day.' Then Zhang Chen looked at the Stone Tablet, a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've come into close contact with a strange thing! That blood-red light always makes me feel uncomfortable. If my golden light is vast and divine power flows, like a god descending, and the Little Fox's Qing light is ethereal and refreshing like the mountains and fields, then the blood-red light in front of me has an indescribable腥臭 (fishy smell), as if it is something evil and terrifying, making people uncomfortable just looking at it. This Stone Tablet is probably not from a good source!"

Zhang Chen kept circling the Stone Tablet, his eyes fixed on the blood-red qi: "This is the first time I've come into contact with a strange thing. Perhaps I can use this Stone Tablet to study strange things and explore more of their secrets."

"I'm actually more curious, the Stone Tablet was just an ordinary Stone Tablet before, how did it turn into a strange thing now?" Zhang Chen thought about it, and it seemed that ever since he first used blood to make a rubbing of the words on the Stone Tablet, and then Experience Points dropped every day, everything seemed to have changed.

"It seems to be because of the blood." Zhang Chen took out the wild chicken he had caught from the basket, then came to the Stone Tablet, and suddenly slashed it with a knife. The next moment, he saw the wild chicken's blood splatter on the Stone Tablet, and then the Stone Tablet absorbed the blood like a sponge. Then, the red qi around the Stone Tablet visibly began to increase.

"I knew it! It's really because of the blood! This Stone Tablet absorbs blood and can actually increase its power." Zhang Chen put down the dead wild chicken, then looked at the Stone Tablet, a hint of thought in his eyes.

At this time, after the Stone Tablet absorbed the wild chicken's blood, no more blood flowed out from the Stone Tablet.
