The light at the bottom of the river was dim and the current was fast. Shen Luo couldn't see clearly what the thing in his hand was. He could only barely judge that it was a long object.
He only looked at the things in his hands, and his feet were not steady. A torrent swept over him. He staggered and was almost swept away by the torrent.
"Succeeded!"
He secretly shouted, hurriedly stuffed the things in his hands into his arms, and immediately swam towards the water with all his strength.
But before Shen Luo could move any further upstream, a black shadow appeared in front of him. It was a large rock at the bottom of the water.
With a "bang", he couldn't dodge, and his body was swept up by the rapids and hit hard against it.
Shen Luo groaned, and half of his body was in severe pain. What was especially unfortunate was that his head hit a stone, his vision went dark, and he temporarily lost the ability to think.
A long string of bubbles came out of his mouth, and his body was completely swept away by the water flow.
At this moment, the rope around Shen Luo's waist suddenly straightened, reaching its limit and pulling his body in time.
It was just that the current was too fast, and his waist was violently strangled by a Great Strength, which caused severe pain in his ribs. However, his scattered consciousness was restored, and he hurriedly swam toward the river using both hands and feet.
Shen Luo swallowed several large mouthfuls of river water, and finally surfaced before exhaustion. He gasped for breath and was filled with fear.
If he had woken up a step too late, he would have drowned in the river by now.
Shen Luo took a few deep breaths, managed to gather some strength, pulled the rope around his waist, and swam back to the side of the boat.
He climbed onto the boat using his hands and feet, and the last bit of strength from his body was finally squeezed out. He lay on his back under the canopy and took a big breath.
After a while, Shen Luo regained some strength in his body. He immediately sat up, put his hands into his arms, and relaxed his tight cheeks.
The thing is still there and has not been lost.
Shen Luo took it out, but it was a white Stone Casket three feet long and palm wide, with a lot of mud on it.
Stone Casket looks quite big, but it feels light when you get it.
Shen Luo held it in his hand and weighed it, then put it to his ear and shook it, and vaguely heard some movement inside.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the swollen river water was still causing the boat to sway. Fortunately, Yu Dadan's boat was quite strong, and he had reinforced the rope before, so it would not be washed away.
Just for a while, he couldn't go back.
Shen Luo wiped the water stains on his face, wiped away the remaining mud on Stone Casket, placed it on a short square table in front of him, and looked at it carefully.
The color and texture of Stone Casket are similar to jade, but the texture on it is different from the jade types Shen Luo has seen in the past. There is no lock or other mechanism on the box body, and there is no obvious engraved pattern. It looks like one piece. Only a faint line can be seen where the box cover and box body meet.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, stuck the pattern with his nails, and broke it with his hands.
There was a soft "click" sound, and his fingernail scratched across the lid of the box. The sharp pain made him take a breath.
While waving his hands to relieve the pain, he turned Stone Casket over, trying to see if it could be opened from the other side, but the result was the same, it couldn't be opened at all.
The pattern on Stone Casket seems to be just a pattern, not the interface of the box cover.
So, Shen Luo turned over and over again, carefully inspecting all the sides of Stone Casket, and ran his fingertips along every corner of Stone Casket, trying to see if there were any hidden mechanisms.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"This is a little difficult..." Shen Luo stared at Stone Casket, at a loss.
After hesitating for a moment, his eyes suddenly condensed slightly, as if he had made up his mind.
He went back and rummaged around inside the cabin, and with a click, he pulled out a short-handled iron ax about a foot long from a pile of fishing nets and held it in his hand.
The hatchet was used by Yu Dadan to chop firewood on weekdays. Due to the humidity in the cabin, there was a lot of rust on the axe, but it was only a shallow layer. Shen Luo wiped it all off with a rag.
He held the handle of the ax with one hand and brought the ax blade close to the mark on the stone box. He did not dare to exert too much force, but only lightly pressed it a few times. Seeing that the stone box showed no sign of being opened or in danger of being damaged, he gradually increased his strength.
"Keng..."
As Shen Luo struck down hard with the axe, a sound of gold and stone clashing suddenly sounded from Stone Casket.
The low table in the cabin shook suddenly, Stone Casket bounced back, jumped suddenly, and almost flew out. Shen Luo hurriedly threw away the ax, grabbed Stone Casket, and inspected it carefully.
As a result, Stone Casket didn't leave even the slightest mark on it. Instead, it left a dent in the middle of the low table.
"Sure enough, it is a treasure. It can compete with Jade Pillow." Shen Luo was not surprised when he saw that he could not split Stone Casket. Instead, he felt that it should be the case.
He gently stroked Stone Casket back and forth with his palm for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Since this fairy thing cannot be opened by ordinary methods, why not try it with a talisman, and if it is not even, a "Minor Thunder Talisman" can split it open?
But as soon as the idea of Shen Luo came to my mind, I hesitated again.
Minor Thunder Talisman is very powerful. What if one accidentally destroys everything inside? Wouldn't that be worth the loss?
However, there was no other way for a while, and with the strength of this Stone Casket, there was a high probability that nothing would happen.
With Shen Luo thinking like this, he took out the last piece of Minor Thunder Talisman from his arms and placed it on top of Stone Casket. He then placed Yuan Stone on Minor Thunder Talisman, preparing to draw out a little bit of thunder and lightning power from Minor Thunder Talisman. Try it carefully first.
As a result, before he could turn Yang Gang energy to ignite, the small cluster of white gas inside Yuan Stone began to roll violently on its own, and then burst into a bright white light.
Shen Luo's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see that under the white light, on the originally smooth and traceless Stone Casket, slender light marks appeared out of thin air, criss-crossing like rattan mats.
But in the middle of the "rattan mat", there is a sunken area, only the size of a finger. The light inside is dim and far less bright than the surrounding area.
