"At least eight million rubles," Vera quickly gave a quote, thinking about it and said: "If it is polished by a master and designed with a master-level jewelry designer for it, the price should be increased by more than three to five times. ●⌒,"

When everyone heard Vera's words, they couldn't help but take a breath. Even the knowledgeable Yakov couldn't help but look surprised, and the eyes of looking at the gem were a little more greedy.

"Give it back to me, it was mine, I found it." The young man didn't care about his fear of Vera's identity, snatched the gem from Vera's hand, held it in his arms, and stared at the people around him with fierce eyes.

"If you don't want to be hurt, you'd better throw this thing away." Xu Changqing's tone was plain, giving people the feeling that he had not had any thoughts about this gem, but the meaning of his words was completely opposite, and it sounded like a threat.

Everyone around them also thought that Xu Changqing was thinking of wealth and wanted to snatch the gem. Although he despised Xu Changqing's appointment, they could not make any resistance in the face of the guns that Yakov held in his hand. The young man holding the gem tightly was completely lost by greed and hugged the gem even tighter. He even placed his hand on the hunting rifle beside him, completely looking like he wanted money but was desperate.

Yakov also thought that Xu Changqing was interested in this gem and was preparing to teach the young man a lesson, and to help Xu Changqing get the gem. However, Xu Changqing raised his hand to stop him, looked at the young man with a deep meaning, and signaled Yakov to move Victor and others who were lying on the ground to the bed in the corner of the wall. Then he picked up a stool and reached the window beside the bed. Looking at Vera and others, his expression was like waiting to see something good.

Vera and others were all carrying the prejudice and discrimination against Chinese people like Westerners. At first, they thought he was a bit bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. After his companion showed a tough attitude of dying, they gave in and gave in. But soon they found that their guess was completely wrong. Xu Changqing did not give in at all, but went out to watch the show in the free place, because right next to him, the companion holding the gem became a little wrong. His expression was extremely ferocious, and his eyes turned blood red, looking like a blood gem embedded in it. The originally tiny bloodlines on his body became more than ten times thicker and entangled together. His whole body swelled and twisted, especially his back was bulging high, almost torn apart, and his clothes were like a monster in Hugo's pen.

Even a fool could tell something was wrong with this situation. The people who were originally surrounded by him were bound to move away from afar, and they also picked up all the weapons they could see and aimed at their previous companions.

"The gem is that gem!" Years of special education have made Vera's psychological quality more than ordinary people. Even in such a critical moment, she can still observe calmly and find out the reason for such strange changes in her companions.

With Vera's reminder, everyone's eyes were all focused on the priceless gem, but compared to the greed that he wanted to take for himself just now, they are now more afraid and frightened.

I saw that the gem was still crystal clear and beautiful and attractive, but the things attached to the surface of the gem that looked like companion mines had a chemical reaction, constantly leaking out some oil-like black viscous substances. When these black viscous substances touched the wound on the young man's hand, they penetrated into his blood vessels and merged into his blood, causing him to experience such a terrible change.

Just when everyone thought that the Youth Association had become a monster attacked all living creatures in the house, the extremely ferocious body, which had expanded to twice the size, shrank back at an extremely fast speed like a deflated ball. Under the astonishing gaze of everyone, it quickly turned into a mummy.

The change of the tiger's head and tail made everyone stunned. They originally thought there would be a life-and-death battle, but they never thought that the crisis would be lifted in the blink of an eye. The monster-like companion could no longer threaten their lives. This dramatic change made their emotions not react for a while, and everyone stood there blankly, including Yakov, who looked completely at a loss. Only Xu Changqing, who had expected this result, was not affected at all. This also allowed him to see that when the black viscous substances were absorbed by the gem-companied mine again, some blood-like patterns flashed in the gorgeous gem, which looked extremely strange.

"This, this is, what's going on? How did he become like this?"

"Devil! The devil's gem! Damn, I knew it was the devil's gem."

"Lord! Forgive my sins!"

After a silence, Vera's group of people started shouting, asked to themselves, cursing with fear, and praying with extreme devout repentance and praying with extreme devoutness. They did this more to calm down the fear in their hearts. Even though they had seen those terrifying things earlier, they had a certain psychological endurance, but the unexplainable change occurred under the gaze of all of them, and eventually turned into a mummy. This person was one of their companions, a companions who were able to talk to each other just now, which instantly exceeded their psychological endurance, and fear was injected into their hearts at the moment when they were defensive.

Xu Changqing ignored the shouts of these people and walked to the mummy. With the fearful eyes of everyone, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, he picked up the crystal that had been regarded as a devil gem, and put it in his hand and looked carefully.

The greatest contribution of the death of the young man just now to Xu Changqing was to provide some evidence to prove his various speculations about the gem in his hand. At first, Xu Changqing guessed that this gem and the obsidian in his hand were similar things, but because of some unknown reasons, some changes occurred and turned into a completely different form. But when he saw the changes in the young man, he realized that this gem-like thing had nothing to do with the gem. It was just a derivative of another substance, and this substance was a gem-derived ore that looked inconspicuous, so the relationship between the two should be reversed.

The petroleum-like substances that overflowed from the ore penetrated into the human body or any living thing, absorbed all the liquid in the living object, and also swallowed the spirit of the living object. Finally, through a derivation process that Xu Changqing had not yet figured out, all the swallowed tangible and invisible objects were extracted and quickly condensed into this gem-like object. The whole process is similar to alchemy, but compared with the complex methods of alchemy, this method of refining nearly innate abilities is obviously much simpler, and the final effect is naturally much worse. To outsiders, the gems that are almost flawless are actually filled with a large amount of impurities. Even if ordinary people know this thing, it may be difficult for them to use it.

However, Xu Changqing is not among the ordinary people. In his eyes, this gem-shaped condensate contains a large amount of energy and spirit extracted from living things. As long as some impurities that are not conducive to people are removed, this thing can be used as a medicine guide. If some prescriptions he improved specifically for people with ancient bloodlines such as Yakov, if this thing is supplemented as a medicine guide, the final effect may be several times or even dozens of times that of using the medicine alone.

As for removing impurities, it is not difficult for Xu Changqing. He can easily transform the impurities he does not need into another kind of spiritual energy by relying on the way of heaven and earth, and even further improve the quality of gem medicine.

However, although gem medicine is good, Xu Changqing is more concerned about it. Judging from the situation where this type of mineral object attacked the young man just now, it should be a natural monster or natural spirit transformed from the earth spirit energy. However, the level of this monster or spirit energy is very low, and it can be said to be the lowest-level type, without intelligence, only instinct. It just swallowed all the liquid and spirit in the young man's body, not intentionally attacked, but was instinctively attracted by the blood escaping from its wounds, so it launched an attack, devouring prey, and even condensed the essence and gems.

However, this kind of earth spirit monster has never been seen in the classics of the human world, and Xu Changqing has not seen such monsters from the classics of the Three Realms of Kunlun, including various classics of the Holy Ruins Divine Realm. The only monster similar to it is a mud monster growing in the swamp recorded in the Holy Ruins Book. This mud monster produces a crystalline ore with a strong hallucination effect by devouring the corpses of animals that accidentally trapped in the swamp, but can enhance the perception of ordinary people's souls. Shamans and priests often take medicine mixed with this ore in certain rituals to communicate with the gods.

Although the ore-like monster is very different from the mud monster in Xu Changqing's memory, judging from its most core basic talent of devouring living creatures and condensing essence, Xu Changqing vaguely feels that the two should be the same type, but due to some external reasons, the mud monster has undergone a mutant and becomes what it is now.

"Tungus explosion!" An answer immediately emerged in Xu Changqing's mind.

"Why will it be fine if you hold it?" Just as Xu Changqing was thinking about things, Vera, who recovered faster than others, looked at Xu Changqing with nonchalantly holding the devil's gem, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
