CHAPTER 2136: CHAPTER 1705: THE EERIE PRISON BOUNDARY STONE (DOUBLE CHAPTER)

"This broken stone?"

Beidou Star was deeply suspicious and full of doubt towards the ghost’s words, "If this stone is a treasure, why is it still lying here instead of being placed on an altar of some sort?"

"President Beidou, this kid is trying to play with you on purpose. If it really were a treasure, would he kindly tell you about it?"

"I think so too; what value could a stone on the ground have? Can even say such nonsense, does he think we’re three-year-olds that easy to fool?"

"President, I feel like this should be a trap. If you believe him, you’ll be fooled!"

None of these subordinates believed what the ghost said.

"Hahaha, you guys are hilarious, so timid yet daring to hang around here?"

The ghost laughed heartily and said mockingly, "Do you know that the Prison Boundary Stone is an extraordinary stone that suppresses the entire Ice Hell. If this can’t be considered a treasure, then what can? Believe it or not, it’s up to you!"

"President, I feel like his words seem convincing, not like a lie, maybe it’s worth trying."

"Prison Boundary Stone? That name sure is intimidating. Brother Ghost, I’ll trust you this once; if you dare deceive me, I won’t let you off!"

Beidou Star felt a bit moved as he touched the Prison Boundary Stone, feeling the faint chill emanating from it. "Speak up, how can I obtain this Prison Boundary Stone?"

"Isn’t it obvious? If I knew how to acquire it, I wouldn’t be stuck here; you figure it out yourself, I can’t help you!"

"Hmm? Are you saying you’re trapped here because of the Prison Boundary Stone?"

Beidou Star’s mood turned excited; according to the ghost’s statement, it seemed kind of plausible. Failure leads to being sealed; it could very likely be a treasure!

If not for the ghost’s words, he would have overlooked this ordinary stone; better to err on the side of caution!

"Old Jia, Old Wu, your excavation skills are the strongest. I’ll leave the stone to you two, be careful while digging so as not to damage it!"

Beidou Star didn’t handle it personally but sent two subordinates to test the waters first; if the Prison Boundary Stone posed no danger, he’d intervene later.

Old Jia and Old Wu enthusiastically approached the stone, raised their hoes, and struck down.

"Swish! Swish!"

Just as the ghost expected, two ropes materialized and bound the two, dangling them in mid-air.

"Finally, someone to endure this with me!"

The ghost felt balanced at last, watching them flaunt with him; now we’re equally dumbfounded, aren’t we?

"Sure enough, it’s a treasure!"

Beidou Star was delighted rather than frightened; although two subordinates were subdued, it proved one thing: the ghost didn’t deceive him; the Prison Boundary Stone is indeed a treasure!

"President Beidou, this stone is tricky, we can’t move it easily, we need a plan!"

"I think time shouldn’t be wasted; after all, we are not the only team in Ice Hell; any moment other groups could appear. If a bigger guild comes, our dozen people won’t stand a chance. With the opportunity at hand, we should hurry and obtain the treasure before things change!"

"Well said! That’s what I thought too; we don’t have enough manpower, lack intimidation, and if other teams come, we truly won’t have the advantage. If the treasure is taken, we’ll regret it!"

Beidou Star had always had this concern, and once his subordinates raised it, he voiced his worries directly.

This means, knowing the Prison Boundary Stone is a pit, like a moth to a flame, they must rush to seize it in the short time available!

"President Beidou is right; time shouldn’t be wasted, the treasure can’t fall into others’ hands!"

In a few words, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of the time. They all gathered around, encircling the Prison Boundary Stone, one by one carrying hoes, waiting for Beidou Star’s command.

"What are you standing around for? Quickly start digging; I refuse to believe with so many people, we can’t dig up a stone!"

Beidou Star locked horns with the stone; he was all in now, even if it meant sacrificing these subordinates’ lives, he wouldn’t hesitate!

The subordinates also became passionate, each swinging at the Prison Boundary Stone, while the ghost observed from above; the visual effect was quite grand.

It turned out that the system’s punishment wouldn’t relent due to numbers; more than ten ropes materialized, binding this group tightly, hanging them in mid-air, leaving Beidou Star as a lone fighter.

"Pff... hahaha, I can’t take it; I’m gonna laugh to death..."

Seeing Beidou Star’s livid expression, the ghost really couldn’t hold it and burst out laughing.

"Ghost, you’re courting death!!!"

Beidou Star was already vexed with no outlet; the ghost’s laughter gave him the perfect chance to vent, he glared angrily at the ghost, grinding his teeth, "It’s all because of you; I lost so many brothers just to amuse you. Do you really think I don’t dare kill you?!"

"President Beidou, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I was just remembering something funny. I forgot to wipe my butt after going to the restroom this morning, hahaha. Isn’t that humorous?"

The ghost almost laughed himself breathless, struggling to speak properly. The Prison Boundary Stone surely was significant, solving so many opponents for him. The best part was he never expected President Beidou to be so cooperative; knowing it’s a pit yet letting all his subordinates jump in; what else could this be but madness?!
