A Spine And Crystal

The discovery of the polyhedral crystal wrapped with some kind of gnarled spine was certainly not the kind of treasure that Lin Mu and the group had expected to find.

"It does seem like something that Yao Changying would want, considering her abilities." Daoist Chu couldn't help but mutter.

"What kind of spine is that though?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"It's hard to tell." Ziran replied. "But those are most certainly vertebrae." He added.

The group watched it for a few seconds before looking at each other.

"It does not seem pleasant does it." Daoist Chu asked.

"It most certainly does not." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"Yeah, it does scream 'danger'." Ziran agreed.

"Regardless of it, we have to do something about it." Lin Mu replied. "Can't just leave it here. We at least need to check what it is." He added.

"Indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "Let me try first." He took the lead this time.
