"If they hadn't been taken away, where would those batches of raw spinel stones be?" Li Xiu saw that the demon spirits outside were so crowded that it was impossible to escape. He had nothing to do anyway, so he did some research.

Judging from the extent of the collapse of the house, it must have been damaged by external forces. In addition, the building itself was not very good. The house was full of tatters, the furniture had long been rotten, and the wood of the table was rotten.

, the drawer becomes crispy when touched.

After walking around for a while, I didn't find any place where gems could be hidden, and I didn't see any safes or anything like that.

It's right to think about it. I don't know how many years this place has been abandoned. Many people must have been here. If there is anything, it would have been looted long ago. Instead of wasting time, it is better to rest for a while and think about what to do.

Escape from the siege of demons.

"If you move again, I'll kill you." Li Xiu squeezed the contents of the bag to make it firmer and not move around.

It's a pity that the things inside can't understand human speech, and they keep twisting and turning, trying to get out of the bag.

After taking a look at the situation outside, there were more demons surrounding the building. Some demons secretly climbed up from behind the building, but they were all eliminated by Jedi Knights and Demigod Setsuna.

The Knight of the Chrysanthemum stood in front and was not timid at all when facing the hordes of demon spirits.

Of course, this is because he has no brains and is just a tool. If he really had an IQ, he would have rebelled long ago.

"I hope Sha Chu can win." Li Xiu has seen a lot of demon spirits and knows that these groups of demon spirits outside are not actually real demon spirits, but the split body of the demon spirit that fought Sha Chu.

.

Li Xiu had encountered demon spirits with the ability to split several times before, and he had also encountered demon spirits with clones that were stronger than this one.

The demon spirit clone summoned by that demon spirit can almost be called the demon spirit sea. If Li Xiu hadn't acted quickly and eliminated the demon spirit in a short time, I'm afraid the entire city would have been chewed up by the demon spirit clone.

Remaining.

The clone of this demon spirit was much weaker than its original body. It was obviously not powerful enough and was much worse than what Li Xiu had encountered before.

As long as the true form of the demon spirit is eliminated, these demon spirit clones will quickly age and die, so it still depends on whether Sha Chu can do anything.

Looking at the group of demon spirit clones outside, Li Xiu was suddenly stunned.

He discovered a strange phenomenon. In addition to this building, there were several buildings not far away.

Although those small bungalow-like buildings are more dilapidated than here, they are also made of reinforced concrete.

Li Xiu previously thought that these demon spirit clones could only emerge from the soil, and that steel and concrete would have a certain impact on the demon spirits' abilities, so he came here to take refuge.

Facts have also verified Li Xiu's conjecture that those demon clones cannot get out from under the cement foundation of this building.

But now Li Xiu discovered that on the buildings not far away, there were demonic spirits emerging from the cement floors. The cement floors, like the dirt floors next to them, seemed to have become soft and sticky.

Even the walls and roofs of the buildings are like slowly melting chocolate, slowly flowing down.

"Why is this house the only one not affected by the power of demon spirits? Is there anything special about this house itself?" Li Xiu felt strange in his heart.

Li Xiu stood up and studied the dilapidated house again. It was a small two-story building with five or six rooms in a row. There were only a dozen or so rooms on the two floors. The second floor was almost collapsed, but the first floor was relatively complete.

.

The room Li Xiu is in is the second room on the left on the first floor, which is the one where the dead bones were found.

The rooms are not suites, they are all old-fashioned bungalows. If you want to go to other rooms, you can only go through the door, and the ladder to the second floor is also outside.

After Li Xiu carried the contents of the bag and left the room, the demon spirits immediately screamed when they saw Li Xiu. The demon spirits surged in waves, as if they were about to rush up and engulf Li Xiu at any time.

"If you dare to come up, I will kill it." Li Xiu raised the bag in his hand and said viciously to the demon spirits.

He knew that these demon spirits should be able to understand. To be precise, it was not that they could understand, but that the clones of these demon spirits could understand.

For demon spirits with the ability to clone themselves, their main bodies and clones share vision and hearing.

Sure enough, after being frightened by Li Xiu, the demon spirits calmed down a lot. They only screamed outside and did not dare to rush forward.

Li Xiu walked along the steps at the door, climbed over the messy ground, and entered the leftmost room on the first floor.

I looked around and found nothing of value.

Li Xiu went to several other rooms, and they were basically a mess, with nothing of value in them.

However, Li Xiu still discovered some strange things. He found that the three rooms on the left were normal, but the ground in the two rooms on the right was a little soft, as if they were affected by the power of the demon spirit.

Especially in the room on the far right, the ground had become soft and sticky, and a demon clone even emerged from underneath, and was cut in two by the Jedi knight who followed Li Xiu.

"There is indeed something wrong with this house. The power affecting the room should be in the room I was in just now. If it is in the third room, then the two rooms on the right should also be affected and should not change. Now

The rooms on the left have not changed, only the two rooms on the right have changed, and the influence of the demonic power is stronger as you go to the right, which is quite telling." Li Xiu returned to the previous room on the left.

Two rooms, start searching this room again.

"It would be great if Sha Lai were here." Li Xiu didn't know much about things like mechanisms, and besides, there didn't seem to be any place to install mechanisms in this room.

Li Xiu had already moved everything he could move, but still found nothing, so he had to use the stupidest method.

Li Xiu called the Jedi over and asked him to dig up the ground with his samurai sword to see if there was anything hidden underneath.

If the Jedi Knight had feelings, I'm afraid he would be in tears right now.

I dug here and there, digging hole after hole in the ground, almost digging through the foundation, but nothing was found.

"It's really strange. How come there is nothing?" Li Xiu believed in his own judgment. There couldn't be nothing, there must be something.

Li Xiu looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the wall: "Since there is no underground, then only the wall is left."

Li Xiu didn't stop doing anything and called the Knight of the Chrysanthemum in, asking him to charge directly and collapse a wall.

Fortunately, the second floor had almost collapsed a long time ago. After the Knight of the Chrysanthemum knocked down the roof below, the concrete slab on the roof also tilted down and broke into several pieces on the ground.

Li Xiu wanted the Knights of the Chrysanthemum to collapse the remaining walls. When he looked at the broken floors, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He asked the Knight of the Chrysanthemum to stop temporarily, walked over to the broken concrete floor, felt into the hole in one of the concrete floors, and soon took out something wrapped in tinfoil.

"There really is something hidden here." Li Xiu saw the exposed tinfoil and realized there was something inside.

He felt around in other holes and found nothing, so he asked the Knight of the Chrysanthemum to come over and break all the floor slabs to see if there was anything else.

While the Chrysanthemum Knight was working there, Li Xiu looked at the things wrapped in tinfoil in his hands.

This is a tube-shaped object. If you peel off the tin foil on the outside, you will find a tube box similar to a badminton box. When you open the lid and take a look, you will immediately find that there is a plastic bag stuffed inside.

Pulling out the plastic bag, Li Xiu was immediately overjoyed. Several plastic bags contained pink crystals of different sizes and shapes, which looked like pink gummy candies.

Of course, these are not real gummies, but rough gemstones that have not been polished and cut. Now these gemstones have no luster.

There is no doubt that the pink rough stones here are probably the pink spinels mentioned in the diary.

There are four plastic bags in total. One plastic bag contains dozens of small rough stones, the other two bags also contain several relatively large rough stones, and the last bag only contains one rough stone.

The rough stone was slightly smaller than an egg, but it was already big enough to be scary.

Spinel is generally not too big, especially this kind of pink spinel, which rarely has clean large particles.

However, this pink spinel rough stone is not only large, but also looks quite pure without being cut and polished. There are only some slight impurities and floc on the outer skin.

"Is this thing really a spinel?" Li Xiu looked at the outrageously large pink spinel rough stone and thought to himself.

The spinels in the other three bags were obviously divided into three models by the original owner. The smallest model is probably a spinel rough stone of about one to three carats. After cutting and polishing, it will definitely be smaller. This bag

There were at least two hundred. Li Xiu didn't count them, he just made a rough estimate.

The model that is slightly larger than this one has a total of 17 rough stones and is estimated to weigh between four and ten carats. It is not known how heavy it will be after it is cut and polished.

In the largest bag, there were a total of eight rough stones, all of which were over ten carats.

Regardless of the size of this batch of rough stones, the quality is quite good, there are not too many impurities, and the consumption of cutting and polishing is relatively low.

Judging from the current market price, such a large amount of pink spinel can probably be sold for a large sum of money, especially the oversized rough pink spinel stone, which is probably not as heavy as nearly a hundred carats, and is definitely a priceless treasure.

When Li Xiu saw this huge pink spinel rough stone, he felt a sense of hunger in his stomach. It was obvious that this thing was absolutely extraordinary, and it was also a gem with a demonic spirit.

The other smaller rough stones did not make Li Xiu feel hungry, they were just ordinary gems.

"Is this super large pink spinel rough stone affecting it?" Li Xiu took the pink spinel rough stone and walked around nearby.

Sure enough, wherever the pink tip crystal went, the soft ground gradually became hard, but this range was very limited, with a radius of only a few meters.

Even so, it is already very advantageous for Li Xiu, at least he doesn't have to worry about falling into it again.

Li Xiu did not eat the gem because he was not sure whether this ability would still exist after turning the gem into a demon spirit.

It would not be good if after turning into a demon spirit, it could only ensure that it did not fall, just like the demigod Moka.

And this thing is a bit too big to swallow.

Collecting all the gems close to his body, Li Xiu climbed up to the second floor and looked at the roaring place in the distance. Sha Chu was still fighting the demon spirit, and there was still no winner.

…

Peng!

Shachu's body fell to the ground and was immediately entangled in the sticky mud.

The red dress she was wearing was torn in many places, with holes on her waist, back and front, revealing white skin and blood stains.

This was just a place that was accidentally scratched by the demon spirit's wings during the battle. If it was a head-on battle, Shachu would have been crushed by the demon spirit long ago.

On the ground not far away, the two-headed demon spirit and the other demon spirit rolled into a ball and bit each other.

The body of the two-headed demon spirit is sinking into the soil. If its body is completely pulled into the ground, there will probably be no chance of turning over.
