Chapter 1205: Chapter 1207: Wandering Dragon Hook-Scythe Spear Chapter 1205: Chapter 1207: Wandering Dragon Hook-Scythe Spear Looking at the hundred-plus identical treasure boxes in front of him, as well as the various translucent figures on the boxes, Song Jian suddenly felt at a loss on how to proceed.
“There are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine treasure boxes here, and only eight of them contain real treasures as rewards for the task. The rest are all empty. This is simply…” Song Jian had a feeling that all his previous tests had been for nothing.
The vertical eye in the center of his forehead opened, and all the treasure boxes in front of him burst into the same glow, enveloping them completely, making it impossible to spot any differences. If he had to point out a distinction, it would only be that the figures emerging on the boxes were all different.
Some of these figures appeared very powerful, majestic and domineering, with divine light of flames burning all over them, almost like deities themselves. Others looked extremely weak, resembling a frail goblin or a zombie. And there were some figures whose strength Song Jian could not gauge, shrouded in an air of profound mystery.
Naturally, Song Jian couldn't base his judgment on the figures atop the boxes for the treasures inside. It was quite possible that the boxes with fierce-looking figures contained nothing, while the ones with very weak figures might actually hold the real task rewards. Of course, it could also be the opposite.
This was a gamble, a psychological one–to pick the correct treasure boxes out of the one hundred and eighty-nine was undeniably a daunting task.
“Young man, this choice is not an easy one, but you must hurry, for your time is running short!” The ancient tree shook its body slightly, its voice revealing a touch of glee; obviously, Song Jian's distressed appearance brought it joy.
“I suggest this one. Look at the phantom on this treasure box. This is the deity Moroto, master of the Space Law. With his mighty divine power, choosing him can't be wrong!” The ancient tree extended a lush green branch, pointing at one of the boxes and saying, “Of course, this is just a suggestion, for your reference. It's also possible that there's nothing inside the box with such a powerful deity's phantom. Instead, this box, with the phantom of a weak Gray Dwarf, might contain the true treasure!”
Song Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, “Great, now I can eliminate two boxes. That leaves only one hundred and eighty-seven treasure boxes!”
He certainly didn't believe the ancient tree would be so kind as to point out the real task reward to him!
Song Jian looked over each one until his eyes lit up, and he pointed at one of the boxes, saying, “I choose the item inside this box.”
The phantom that appeared on the surface of this box was the same female figure that had sent Song Jian on a quest to the Imperial Sword Sect to find the Demon Suppression Tower. Although the armor worn by the phantom figure was different from the one Song Jian had first seen, the girl's features were exactly the same as before.
The ancient tree stiffened for a moment, extending a green branch to point at the treasure box for confirmation, “Are you sure about this box? Don't you want to look again? The phantom on this box is just a descendant of the Ancient Desolate Demon God. Her strength doesn't even make the top ten here!”
Hearing what the ancient tree said, a slight smile appeared on Song Jian's lips. Pointing at the box, he said, “I'm sure, it's this one I want!”
“All right, everything follows your choice!” Having said that, the ancient tree extended a branch, curled up the selected box, and brought it over to Song Jian. He reached out and took the box, and all the boxes surrounding the ancient tree disappeared one by one.
“You have completed the test of the Ancient Desolate Demon God and may now return to the temple!” After the ancient tree spoke, it wrapped Song Jian up, and with a flash of green light, the branch and Song Jian vanished together.
Song Jian felt he was unprepared when he was suddenly thrown out. After a whirl of disorientation, he found himself back in the Demon God Temple, looking at the towering Demon God Stone Statue and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something unusual about it.
The hands of the Demon God statue originally held eight sculpted treasures, but now, one hand was empty!
“What's going on? Has someone else entered this temple?” Song Jian immediately became alert, looking around and extending his senses in all directions.
After a long search without finding anything unusual, Song Jian had a thought, and the Flame Light Wings appeared behind him. With a mighty leap, he reached the Demon God Stone Statue and began to inspect it closely.
“This statue is carved from a single block of stone, with the treasures in its hands being part of the arms, how could they possibly separate?” Song Jian pondered for a while, his brow furrowing. The other seven arms were connected seamlessly with their treasures; it wouldn't make sense for only one treasure to have been added later.
Song Jian then moved to the empty hand. Now, the hand grasped at nothing, the treasure formerly within having vanished without a trace. Most importantly, where the arm and the treasure connected, there was not a single sign of damage, as if it had always been held aloft in this manner.
After much thought, Song Jian couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary, so he flew back down, looking up while murmuring softly to himself:
“Sword, saber, hammer, axe, shield, tower, seal…”
“This empty hand should have been holding a short spear…” Song Jian stroked his chin, recalling the appearance of the short spear he had seen earlier.
It looked like a short spear similar to a pike, less than six meters long–which would be considered quite lengthy to an ordinary person but hardly a handful in front of the Demon God Stone Statue that towered over a hundred meters tall!
At this thought, Song Jian suddenly turned his gaze to the treasure box in his hand. Upon opening the box, a dazzling purplish-gold light burst forth, revealing a legendary quality long spear in front of Song Jian!
“This, this…” Song Jian stared dumbfounded at the long spear floating before him. The spear was over two meters in length, with the blade alone nearing two feet. At the very base of the blade, there was a hook-scythe resembling a backward-facing spike.
Along the shaft, a dragon wound its way from the tail end all the way to the blade. Grasping it felt secure, and even if it became slick with sweat, there was no sign of slipping.
“Wandering Dragon Hook-Scythe Spear, legendary quality, level 100! These, these attributes…” Song Jian examined the properties of the spear, astonished by a series of excellent attributes. Not to mention the enhancements to personal attributes, the spear alone had three skills, each one top-notch!
After a long time, Song Jian finally stowed the spear into his inventory. While delighted by the surprise, he also felt a hint of regret. He had instinctively thought that the treasure box would contain the Demon Suppression Tower upon seeing the silhouette of that young girl, only to find it was actually the hook-scythe spear from the hands of the Demon God Statue!
“Eight items, corresponding to the eight treasures of the Demon God statue, I wonder if that tower in its hand is the Demon Suppression Tower?” Song Jian looked at the small tower in the statue's hand, thinking to himself.
