Seeing that there was no response from the other side of the Transmitting Sound Stone, Wen Qingchen withdrew her power from it.
Once the power was withdrawn, the light on the Transmitting Sound Stone disappeared. Wen Qingchen played with the stone for a bit and concluded that you just need to channel energy into it to use it.
It really was a great item!
Wen Qingchen glanced at Mu An, “I’ll keep this, alright?”
How could Mu An dare say no? He obsequiously replied, “Please, keep it! I don’t care for it…” As if!
That was the Transmitting Sound Stone!
The legendary only pair of Transmitting Sound Stones!
No matter whether you were in the heavens or the earth, the Transmitting Sound Stones could communicate without interruption!
Who wouldn’t care for such a powerful treasure? Who? What kind of fool!
In the darkness, Mu An harshly slapped himself—you’re that fool, so useless!
Wen Qingchen turned back. “What’s wrong? Hitting yourself, are you a masochist?”
Mu An didn’t dare admit he also wanted the Transmitting Sound Stone, so he weakly said, “Th-there was a mosquito on my face…”
He was feeling extremely aggrieved.
Wen Qingchen, understanding, pulled out a bottle of potion and tossed it to him. “Here, take this. It’ll repel mosquitoes.”
Mu An held the potion and silently cried.
Wen Qingchen, amused, said coolly, “Don’t underestimate the mosquitoes here. They might be corpse mosquitoes. Do you know what corpse mosquitoes are? They feed on rotting corpses. If one bites you, you’ll be poisoned immediately, your body will be covered in corpse spots, and you’ll fester and…”
“Stop! Doctor! Please stop…” Mu An, tears streaming down his face, frantically applied the repellent potion all over his body and face.
Hearing such a horrifying description, even if there weren’t any mosquitoes, he felt itchy all over.
In the dim light of the torch, Mu An’s tear-streaked face made Wen Qingchen chuckle despite herself. “Look at you, so spineless. And you’re supposed to be a man.”
Mu An, like a frightened child, said nothing and clung to Wen Qingchen’s sleeve, following closely behind her.
The cave seemed endless. The wind grew stronger, and the air became increasingly thick with deathly energy. Wen Qingchen frowned. So far, she hadn’t encountered any ghosts or strange creatures.
Could it be that these beings were avoiding her because of her powers?
Suddenly, a white light glowed from her chest.
Wen Qingchen was startled, and Mu An trembled, his voice shaking. “W-what’s that…”
Wen Qingchen, annoyed, said, “Can you be a bit braver? It’s the Transmitting Sound Stone.”
She took out the Transmitting Sound Stone, which was indeed the source of the light.
She had hoped to find the other stone here, but now that the stone was glowing, it meant it was in someone else’s hands.
She felt a bit disappointed.
However, the glowing Transmitting Sound Stone emitted no sound.
Puzzled, she stared at the stone and infused it with her power, saying, “Hello, hello? Is anyone there?”
The stone glowed silently.
–
On the other side of the Transmitting Sound Stone.
Yin Chenming’s thin lips pressed together beneath his silver mask as he pondered the location of the other Transmitting Sound Stone.
He had found this stone in an underwater cave. He had assumed the other stone was still at the bottom of the pool, but it was now in someone else’s possession.
His sword-like brows furrowed.
Receiving no response, Wen Qingchen muttered under her breath, “Damn, could it really be a ghost? Would a ghost use a cell phone… oops, I mean, a Transmitting Sound Stone?”
Yin Chenming: “…”
Wen Qingchen questioned, “Okay then, are you a male ghost or a female ghost? A big ghost or a little ghost? Why aren’t you talking? Are you a coward?”
After a long pause, just as Wen Qingchen was about to give up and continue deeper into the cave, a cold voice from the other side of the Transmitting Sound Stone spoke a single word.
“Human.”
