Chapter 646 - Taking the Opportunity to Sneak Attack

Zhou Hao nodded and immediately looked at the frog. “Alright, alright, stop nagging. Let’s go in quickly!”

Hearing this, the frog immediately shook its head helplessly and sighed. “Aiya, young people are just too impatient!”

The frog waved its finger and pointed at the stone tablet. It muttered, “As long as you cut your finger and drip blood into it, you can sign a contract with the stone tablet. After that, the stone tablet will naturally move away.”

“It’s that simple?”

Zhou Hao was speechless for a moment and immediately flicked the frog away. Then, he took out the blade and cut his finger, dripping blood into the stone tablet.

Slap!

With a light sound, the blood on Zhou Hao’s finger immediately dripped onto the stone tablet. Immediately after, Zhou Hao was shocked to see that the blood that dripped onto the stone tablet had been completely devoured!

Seeing this, Zhou Hao was shocked. He did not have the time to ask the frog what was going on. He saw the stone tablet suddenly emit a rumbling sound!

Zhou Hao immediately tensed up and looked around worriedly. Fortunately, there was no movement around, and the sound of the shaking was relatively weak, so he probably wouldn’t get discovered by the surrounding people.

Soon, the trembling of the stone tablet stopped. Zhou Hao looked down at his feet and realized that a small square space the size of a palm had appeared under his feet.

.

The spatial depth was about two feet wide. Zhou Hao looked around, but he did not see any energy source. He could not help but frown and ask the frog, “Where’s the energy source?”

The frog pushed its sunglasses up and smiled at Zhou Hao in front of it. It swung its cloak and chuckled. “Hehe, the energy source is in the barrier under this stone tablet.”

“The barrier under the stone tablet?”

Zhou Hao was stunned. He looked at the frog in confusion and asked, “What barrier? Didn’t you say just now that it would be fine as long as I dripped my blood on the stone tablet?”

“That’s right. You signed a contract with the stone tablet. What does the opening of the stone tablet have to do with the energy source? If you want to obtain the energy source, you still have to open the barrier below!”

Zhou Hao was speechless. Was this frog messing with him?!

When the divine soil heard the two of them talking, it immediately formed a smiling face and looked up to laugh. It even formed a few tear drops to express its mood.

“Ahahaha, I’m really amused. This stupid frog is too interesting!”

Zhou Hao had a depressed expression and was not in the mood to argue with the divine soil and the frog. Therefore, he hurriedly asked, “Then tell me, how do I open the barrier of this energy source?”

Zhou Hao frowned and looked at the small pit. He discovered that there was indeed a thick water ripple-like thing flashing on the surface, as if there was a layer of seawater floating on it.

Zhou Hao was about to reach out to touch it when the frog shouted angrily, “Stop! You’re really bold. How dare you touch this fatal thing with your hand?”

“Ah.”

Zhou Hao hurriedly retracted his hand and looked at the frog. He urged anxiously, “Stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me quickly, how do we resolve this?”

After saying this, the frog immediately adjusted its sunglasses and swung its cloak coolly. It chuckled and said, “It’s very simple. As long as you drip the Body Tempering Fluid on this, you can melt this barrier.”

When Zhou Hao heard this, he immediately took out a bottle of Body Tempering Fluid, unscrewed the cap, and dripped some onto it.

Indeed, the moment the Body Tempering Liquid made contact, the barrier quickly melted like chocolate on a hot summer day!

The barrier quickly melted drop by drop. Zhou Hao was happy and immediately looked over. Indeed, he saw a small box shining under the barrier.

It seemed that the barrier had previously blocked Zhou Hao’s sight. This was one of the methods used to protect the energy source.

Zhou Hao was about to reach in to take the box when he was suddenly stopped by the frog.

“Wait!”

“What’s wrong now?!”

Zhou Hao frowned and looked at the frog. He said helplessly, “Can you tell me everything at once? Stop scaring me like that!”

Zhou Hao was really depressed. Who could withstand such twists and turns?

The frog coughed and chuckled. “It’s actually very simple. You just have to…”

“Alright, stop!”

Zhou Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, “That’s already the third time you said it’s simple. In my opinion, it’s very complicated!”

“If you don’t tell me everything at once, I’ll stuff you into this barrier and you can fend for yourself!”

Seeing that Zhou Hao seemed to be really angry, the frog did not dare to keep him in suspense anymore. Therefore, it chuckled and said, “It’s very simple… cough cough, as long as you throw this in, you can break the last barrier inside and successfully take out the energy source.”

After hearing the frog’s words, Zhou Hao immediately received a small pill from it and threw it in.

“Quick! Zhou Hao! Take us up!”

The frog was anxious and simply jumped onto Zhou Hao. Seeing this, the divine soil also quickly turned itself into a paper plane and flew into the air.

Zhou Hao leaped up.

Indeed, a moment later, a group of densely-packed palm-sized insects with carapace quickly crawled out of the cave!

Seeing this dense swarm of insects crawl out of the cave, Zhou Hao was immediately frightened until his scalp went numb.

He recognized these insects. They were all rot-eating insects that had long died out in the ancient times!

There were at least thousands of them.

“Rot-eating insects… why would they appear here?”

Zhou Hao subconsciously muttered, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly regained his senses.

That’s right. Previously, when they probed the magnetic field trembling and passed through the spatial rifts, they had already seen many ancient mutated beasts come back to life. It was not surprising for them to see these things here.

After the insects dispersed, Zhou Hao jumped down and quickly took out the energy source under the stone tablet.

The energy source was a hexagonal colored crystal that emitted a faint light. It looked like a beating heart, but it was cold to the touch.
