Chapter 204 Gray Stone Skin

Just then, Qin Shaoyou suddenly found that another person walked out of the white fog.

A closer look revealed that it was Qin Shaochen.

"Shaochen, why are you..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back..."

Qin Shaochen interrupted Qin Shaoyou.

After returning to the Qin family mansion, Qin Shaochen immediately reported what happened in the secret realm.

"The Wang family's expedition team was completely wiped out in the secret realm!"

Fairy Yueyu was surprised and delighted, and immediately sent people into the secret realm to investigate the situation.

It was actually true!

This made everyone in the Qin family elders' council excited.

Unexpectedly, there was another surprise.

Not long after, Fairy Yuexia returned to the Qin family with a human head.

It turned out to be Wang Zhenghe's head.

"Good! That's great!"

Fairy Yueyu, who has always been reserved, was also excited and said yes again and again.

"The Wang family lost three mid-stage Qi Refining at once. With such a huge loss, they will never be able to recover in the future."

"In a short period of time, they will no longer be able to compete with the Qin family!"

All the members of the Elders Council nodded frequently, all of them were excited.

Afterwards, Qin Shaochen was rewarded for his merits, and he got another clan merit coin.

Qin Shaochen exaggerated the situation in the secret realm, which attracted the attention of the old Qin family, and the exploration plan was postponed for the time being.

The Elders Council decided to find an experienced formation master first, and then organize people to explore the secret realm.

Three days later, Xiao Liuzi suddenly came to the door and invited Qin Shaochen to Wanbao Hall.

The first sentence Zhou Ziyao said when he saw Qin Shaochen was:

"Everything is ready, and the place has been found. Now follow me to practice the second layer of nine layers of skin!"

Qin Shaochen certainly had no objection.

After going back to pack his clothes, he said hello to his grandfather and set off with Zhou Ziyao.

To his surprise, the three of them left Huaitian City and walked for three days in the wilderness.

On the evening of the fourth day, they came to a cave in a deserted valley.

It was damp and dark inside.

Zhou Ziyao asked Qin Shaochen to take off his clothes and then tied him to a stone pillar.

The thing that tied him up was actually a thick iron chain.

Qin Shaochen was a little uneasy and asked why he had to use such a thing.

Zhou Ziyao was mysterious and just said:

"You will know when the time comes."

Then he covered his whole body with ointment and left.

A few minutes later, dense noises rang out in the cave. Countless ants were attracted by the sweet ointment, emerged from all over the rock wall, and swarmed in.

Each of those ants was the size of a caterpillar, with a red head and black neck, and a ferocious appearance.

They were all species that Qin Shaochen had never seen before.

After the ants climbed onto Qin Shaochen, they started biting him directly.

Soon, Qin Shaochen was bitten all over.

He was chained and couldn't escape.

He stepped on a few ants to death, but it seemed to arouse the ants' anger, and they bit even more fiercely.

His green wood skin couldn't defend against that kind of ants at all.

What he didn't expect was that the wounds bitten by ants were not only painful, but also very itchy.

A heart-piercing itch. An itch that makes people want to go crazy.

It was barely bearable, but that kind of itch was really irresistible.

Qin Shaochen was so itchy that he called Zhou Ziyao loudly.

After a long time, Zhou Ziyao's voice came in from outside the cave.

"Bear it, the itch-inducing toxicity is the key to making gray stone skin."

There was obviously a bit of gloating in his voice.

"There is a bigu pill next to the pillar. If you are hungry, take one and eat it yourself."

After saying this, there was no sound.

Qin Shaochen shouted until his voice became hoarse and exhausted, but there was no response at all.

It was not until five days later that Zhou Ziyao and Xiao Liuzi reappeared in the cave.

Zhou Ziyao first circled around Qin Shaochen, then bent down and helped Qin Shaochen untie the chain.

He pinched Qin Shaochen a few times, checked him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The effect is good. It is indeed much better than Qingmupi."

"What a bullshit!"

The half-dead Qin Shaochen wanted to punch the other party hard, but he was powerless. He could only stare at Zhou Ziyao and said in a hoarse voice:

"Elder Zhou, when I get better, I will definitely... ask you for an explanation."

Zhou Ziyao laughed, patted Qin Shaochen on the shoulder, and said:

"What explanation? Do you want to thank me?"

"You're welcome! You're welcome! You and I are from the same sect, and we have a deep friendship. These are what I should do."

On the way back, Xiao Liuzi carried him on his back most of the time.

After arriving at the Qin family mansion, Qin Shaochen had not recovered yet. He lay in bed for three days and three nights before he barely recovered his spirit.

After getting out of bed, he came to the back of the courtyard and stared at a rockery for a long time.

Finally, as if he had figured something out, he jumped up and hit the rockery with his shoulder.

With a loud bang, the rockery was hit by a giant hammer, and a large piece of it fell off and broke into pieces.

Qin Shaochen stood in the middle of the debris, a little stunned.

He looked at his shoulder, which was just a little red, and not even a piece of skin was broken.

This effect is definitely not comparable to any iron shirt.

"Graystone skin is really amazing! It is really tougher than stone."

"This toughness is several times more than green wood skin!"

He picked up a small stone from the stone chips on the ground, and crushed it with all his strength.

Watching the fine powder of the stone slip from his fingers, the slight complaint in his heart about Zhou Ziyao suddenly dissipated a lot.

A few days later, he returned to the law enforcement team and fooled around in the Qin family compound for a few days.

The team he led had withdrawn from the entrance of the secret valley.

It seems that the Qin family has temporarily given up exploring the secret realm.

During the law enforcement team, I heard many team members talking about this.

The Chen family and the Cai family had formed a team to enter the secret realm, but apart from picking some Yuanling grass, they had no other gains. There was no trace of the Fire Kirin.

Moreover, according to the news heard later, the two families actually suffered some losses in the operation.

In general, it was not worth the loss.

So, the four major families temporarily suspended the exploration of the secret realm. Instead, they took the same action.

Each sent people to the capital to hire a formation master.

A secret realm with a fire unicorn, even if it is full of dangers, but the families have not given up.

Qin Shaochen, of course, just listened.

He knew the most about the secret realm.

He knew that even if he found a formation master, it would be a waste of effort.

During this period, he went to Qin Chaotian's residence and asked his great-grandfather about some martial arts.

He went to Wanbao Hall and bought a large number of medicinal materials.

During this period, Zhou Ziyao had to test the effect of the gray stone skin on him.

The two went to the martial arts training ground behind Wanbao Hall. After a competition, not only Zhou Ziyao was very satisfied with the effect of the gray stone skin, but Qin Shaochen was also extremely satisfied.
