The old werewolf was very excited. He smelled an incredibly strong scent of decay, and there was a high probability that extremely powerful beings were buried underground.
According to his estimation, they were at least above the sixth level of the Mortal Immortal realm.
An existence of this caliber would undoubtedly carry extraordinary items. If he could unearth even one or two relics, it would be a massive profit.
Soil flew, stones splashed, and over twenty demonic beasts dug simultaneously, rapidly extending a large pit downwards.
"You really can't dig here. This place is extremely ominous!"
Ji Mo tried to stop them again, sensing something strange and a great danger lurking in that area.
"Shut your mouth. Where in the Human-Demon Ancient Battlefield ruins isn't dangerous? If you're afraid of death, then get lost."
Lang Jing angrily rebuked Ji Mo, harboring deep hostility.
How could he possibly believe Ji Mo's words, thinking the latter was spouting nonsense?
"You're the one who should shut up. Swallowing the broken weapon in your hand first before yapping. You shameless scoundrel who doesn't keep your word."
Ning Wenjing, like a tigress, protected Ji Mo.
She would not allow anyone to bully Ji Mo.
Ji Mo didn't argue. He pulled Ning Wenjing and moved a considerable distance away. He had already kindly warned them. If they didn't appreciate it and instead hurled insults, then they could just go meet their doom.
"Xiao Huan, hurry over here. There's definitely danger there."
Ning Wenjing beckoned to Yu Xiao Huan, urging her to stay away from Lang Jing.
Yu Xiao Huan frowned slightly, then walked towards Ning Wenjing. She had intended to have a good talk with Ji Mo, to ask why he wasn't afraid of the malevolent energy. If she could understand the trick behind it, then she could explore more dangerous places for treasures.
"It's out!"
Lang Jing suddenly shouted, excitedly rushing into the pit and pulling out a small jade bottle.
Yu Xiao Huan quickly turned around, rushing towards Lang Jing with excitement. It was a medicinal bottle, and medicinal pills stored in such material were bound to be precious.
"Xiao Huan, if there's a Longevity Pill inside, you'll be mine."
Lang Jing gazed at Yu Xiao Huan with burning eyes, not hiding his possessiveness at all, laughing excitedly.
At the same time, his peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Ning Wenjing. This little beauty, whose appearance and figure surpassed Yu Xiao Huan's, he was determined to have her as well.
With two beauties serving him then, it would be incredibly satisfying!
"Quick, see what kind of pill is inside."
Yu Xiao Huan suppressed her disgust and urged him impatiently.
Lang Jing opened the jade bottle, and a pool of black liquid splashed out, emitting a stench like a dead rat, causing him to vomit on the spot.
Yu Xiao Huan covered her mouth and nose, quickly retreating.
Lang Jing examined the jade bottle and found a crack at the bottom. Clearly, the pill inside had deteriorated because of it, turning into foul water.
"Keep digging."
Lang Jing's face turned ashen. He smashed the cold jade bottle in his hand.
His excitement had been in vain. Instead of finding a pill, he had gotten himself covered in stench.
The excavation continued. Subsequently, several more items were unearthed.
There were broken armors, black demonic beast skeletons, rare ores, and even several fragments of Emperor Weapons.
Lang Jing's expression slowly began to improve.
As they dug deeper, the unearthed items became better.
He drove away the dozen or so human cultivators belonging to the Yu family from the pit, letting the werewolves take over everything. He feared these humans might hoard treasures and also wanted to prevent the Yu family from taking a share if good items were found.
This act of hogging everything was truly despicable, considering that the excavated demonic beasts all belonged to the Yu family.
Yu Xiao Huan didn't say anything. Her heart only yearned for the Longevity Pill to save her mother, and she didn't want to quibble over trivial matters.
"Haha, I wonder which dog said this was an ominous place earlier. It's clearly a treasure trove. You're just jealous and envious of me, aren't you? Perhaps we'll even dig up an Immortal Spiritual Artifact later!"
Lang Jing laughed wildly, having unearthed another good item – a well-preserved Emperor Weapon.
Ji Mo completely ignored such mockery, idly kicking stones on the ground.
Ning Wenjing, meanwhile, held a bronze mirror, gazing at her own stunning reflection with a silly smile. She would occasionally steal glances at Ji Mo, her face involuntarily flushing.
Clang!
A piece of something was kicked out by Ji Mo, making a clear sound.
Ji Mo casually picked it up and found a piece of metal about the size of his palm, dark gold in color, shaped like a demonic tiger with wings on its belly.
"It seems to be a demonic artifact. I wonder if it's worth anything!"
Ji Mo wiped off the dirt, caressed the tiger's patterns, and played with it.
A tiger's roar echoed, and simultaneously, the metal flowed with radiant light, emanating a spiritual aura. Brilliant light shot straight into the sky.
"Immortal Artifact!"
All living beings in the basin sensed it, their faces filled with shock.
Even from farther away, anomalies were detected, and the sky-piercing immortal light was seen.
More than half of the Human-Demon Ancient Battlefield ruins erupted, knowing that an Immortal Artifact had been unearthed!
"He kicked out an Immortal Spiritual Artifact with one foot!"
Ning Wenjing had witnessed this scene firsthand and found it hard to believe her eyes. An Immortal Artifact that others sought in vain was casually kicked out by Ji Mo.
Who in the world could compare to such luck?
All nearby gazes immediately converged on Ji Mo.
Adventure teams from afar also became restless. Some, driven by greed, rapidly approached, clearly intending to snatch it.
Who wouldn't want to possess an Immortal Artifact? They might as well just grab it.
Lang Jing truly couldn't imagine that the dark-skinned fellow had casually picked up an Immortal Artifact.
His earlier mockery had instantly turned into slapping his own face.
Ji Mo was unaware that he had picked up an Immortal Artifact, but he knew it was a good item. He repeatedly tried to figure out what it was.
He thought it resembled a tiger tally, perhaps a military token from the demonic era, definitely an ancient relic!
"Dark-skinned fellow, hand over the item, and I'll guarantee your life. Those adventure teams are about to arrive, and you can't protect yourself. An item like this is not something someone like you can possess."
Lang Jing spoke, attempting to force Ji Mo to hand over the Immortal Artifact.
Yu Xiao Huan intervened, "Lang Jing, how can you take advantage of someone's misfortune? You can't do this. What's the difference between this behavior and that of a bandit?"
This girl still had some conscience, not abandoning righteousness for profit, adhering to her principles.
However, the old woman with鹤发 (crane-like white hair) had a different opinion, stating, "Young Master Lang, you cannot monopolize this item. This old woman must have a share."
"Second Grandma, you..."
Yu Xiao Huan could hardly believe that the old woman was also like this.
"No problem."
Lang Jing nodded. He also needed to rely on the old woman with crane-like white hair to fend off other adventurers, and was willing to share a portion.
"You are truly shameless!"
Ning Wenjing quickly moved to Ji Mo's side, drawing her bow and arrow. She wanted to test how powerful her multi-shot was now and if it could injure someone in the Mortal Immortal realm.
"You want to steal my ancient relic?"
Ji Mo's expression suddenly turned stern, his sharp gaze causing even the old woman with crane-like white hair to tremble.
Just then.
A dramatic change occurred in the excavation pit, emitting dazzling auspicious light.
The old werewolf exclaimed, "Could it be that we've also dug up an Immortal Artifact!"
