There is no zipper on the backpack. It is closed with a drawstring made of the same material. The drawstring is tied with a special knot. Generally, people who have never seen this kind of knot will have to spend a lot of time to untie the knot.

Li Xiu opened the knot in a few seconds, opened the backpack and took a look. There was a metal box inside, which seemed to be some kind of alloy, but there was nothing else.

I took out the box and found a miniature fingerprint lock installed on it.

Fortunately, Qin Shi was nearby. Li Xiu took Qin Shi's fingers and tried them one by one, and quickly opened the box.

Li Xiu carefully opened the lid of the box, and he immediately saw a red gem. The ruby ​​looked like crystals made of blood. It had a rich, deep and gorgeous color. Under the light, it looked like there was lava inside.

The brilliance is flowing, and there is an indescribable eerie beauty.

Li Xiu only took one look and knew there was something wrong with the ruby, because he immediately felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach.

The ruby ​​is a marquise cut, wide in the middle and pointed at both ends, like a red gemstone shuttle.

And this marquise-shaped ruby ​​was actually inlaid on a gold mask, right between the eyebrows. It looked like a blood-red vertical eye.

Only the eyes are hollow in the golden mask, and the other parts are very complete. It looks like a woman's face, and with the ruby ​​​​in it, it is indescribably ghostly and enchanting.

Seeing this thing, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how to treat it, but dealing with demon gems was a problem that could be easily solved.

"Qin Shi, Qin Shi, I'm not taking your gem, I'm saving your life. I have no other way." Li Xiu said a few words to Qin Shi, then cut his finger and cut it.

His own blood dripped on the marquise-shaped ruby.

As soon as the blood touched the ruby, the red light flashed inside the ruby, and Li Xiu's blood was immediately evaporated.

"Eh!" This was the first time Li Xiu encountered a demonic gem that resisted his blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Frowning slightly, Li Xiu called Kunsha and Pashan in from outside.

"How is it? Can Qin Shi be saved?" Kunsha asked anxiously as soon as he came in.

"Have you ever seen this thing? Do you know it?" Li Xiu did not answer him, but asked Kunsha and Pashan with the golden mask.

Kunsha and Pashan looked at it for a while, both with blank faces.

When Li Xiu was a little disappointed, he suddenly heard Sha Lai coming in shouting: "Li Xiu, you didn't even notify me when you came. It's really embarrassing."

After Sha Lai came in, he went over to greet Li Xiu, but when he saw the golden mask in Li Xiu's hand, he suddenly let out a sigh.

"Where did you get this thing? Is it real or fake?" Sha Lai asked, pointing to the golden mask.

"Do you know this thing?" Li Xiu thought to himself: "Why did I forget about this guy Sha Lai?"

"Of course I do. Isn't this a bridal mask? Is it real or fake? If it is real, you will make a fortune." Sha Lai said.

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu asked quickly.

Sha Lai took the mask, looked at it carefully and said: "The bridal mask is of course the mask worn by the bride. It is the mask worn by brides in an ancient country when they got married."

Shalai explained the detailed origin of this thing, and Kunsha and Pashan were both stunned.

In the past, when there was no Southern Cross Federation, there was an ancient country on this land. That country had a custom that the bride must wear a mask on the day she gets married, and she cannot take it off for the whole day.

It is not until the wedding ceremony that the bride's mask can be taken off by the groom himself.

In the beginning, groom's masks were usually made of wood. Some wealthy families would also use silver to make groom's masks when they married their daughters.

Bridal masks made of gold were rare in that era. According to legend, there was a princess in the ancient country who was very favored by the emperor. When she got married, she wore a groom's mask made of gold.

But that wedding was a tragedy. The princess bride died in love in the fire, so the gold bride mask was considered an ominous symbol. After that princess, no one used the gold bride mask anymore, and the gold bride mask was

Called the Princess Mask.

"Why does this golden mask look more and more like a real princess mask the more I look at it?" Sha Lai looked at it, something was wrong in his eyes.

"How do you know this is a real princess mask? Didn't you just say that the princess mask is a legend and no one knows whether it is true or false?" Pashan asked.
