“Hmph! Isn’t this a Sky Crystal Stone? Do you think we are fools? Telling lies with our eyes wide open?” Yang Qingyao, who had been giving Fang Lin the evil eye the whole time, instantly ridiculed him when she heard him deny that the stone was a Sky Crystal Stone.

Fang Lin couldn’t be bothered to respond to this dumb woman. He held up the blue crystal in front of everyone and said, “This definitely isn’t a Sky Crystal Stone. Look closely, there’s something inside this stone.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun moved closer to get a better look at the blue crystal in Fang Lin’s hand.

Sure enough, there was a tiny bug trapped inside the blue crystal.

The bug was so small, and the color of the crystal was so vibrant, that it was nearly impossible to spot the bug unless you looked very closely.

Further, because everyone had assumed it was a Sky Crystal Stone, no one had scrutinized it in detail.

However, Fang Lin was different. With a single glance through his Micro Gold Pupil, he saw the tiny bug sealed within the crystal and knew right away that it wasn’t a Sky Crystal Stone.

Yang Qingyao felt embarrassed and defended herself, “So what? Just because there is a bug inside, it doesn’t mean it’s not a Sky Crystal Stone?”

Fang Lin looked at Yang Qingyao, gave a cold smile, and then gently pinched the blue crystal causing several cracks to appear.

At this point, even Yang Qingyao was rendered speechless. Her face turned from green to white, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Meanwhile, Li Tongtian, who was standing not too far away, chuckled a couple of times, a look of obvious mockery on his face.

The imperial prince who owned the red fox looked somewhat awkward as well.

“If this were a real Sky Crystal Stone, would it crack so easily when I pinched it?” Fang Lin asked calmly, throwing the crystal stone back to the prince.

A Sky Crystal Stone is a very rare mineral. The entire Qian Country only has a small Sky Crystal Stone mining area, which is controlled by the royal family.

The hardness of a Sky Crystal Stone is extremely high. It can only be melted under high temperature. Even a heavenly origin master will find it hard to smash a Sky Crystal Stone without using his Inner Strength.

Due to its extraordinary hardness, a Sky Crystal Stone is often used to forge weapons and armors. Even armors mixed with a bit of Sky Crystal Stone have greatly enhanced defense power.

The royal family of the Qian Country has an army. Though small in number, each solider is top-ranked and the least Cultivated among them has mastered the Earth Element.

Each solider in this army possesses armor and weapons mixed with Sky Crystal Stone. This makes it the most elite army in the Qian Kingdom and one of the trump cards that the Yang family use to maintain their power.

After all, only the Daqian royal family could afford to use Sky Crystal Stones to make armors and weapons.

The reason why Yang Pojun rushed with the royal people into that left path earlier was to seize the opportunity to find more Sky Crystal Stones to bring back.

But now it turned out that it wasn’t a Sky Crystal Stone at all, since when could a Sky Crystal Stone break with just a pinch?

Yang Pojun expressed his gratitude to Fang Lin. If it wasn’t for Fang Lin’s timely intervention and explanation of the truth, their group might have rushed in like fools and who knows what kind of danger they would have encountered.

“Damn it, they tricked me!” The royal prince cursed and slammed the blue crystal onto the ground.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the blue crystal shattered completely, exposing the tiny bug to the open air.

But the next moment, Fang Lin’s face changed. The white bug was moving.

“Not good!” Fang Lin yelled out and immediately raised his foot to crush the bug.

But he was a bit too slow. The moment his foot hit the ground, the white bug spread its transparent wings and flew up.

“What the hell is this?” someone muttered. Many people found it strange, thinking that such a small bug could be killed with just two pinches, so no need to panic, right?

However, Fang Lin was obviously worried, retreating several steps back.

A glow of blue fire burst from the bug, creating an eerily blue flame. In the blink of an eye, the flame covered one of the royal princes.

“Ahh!” The prince was immediately engulfed in blue flames. Within three breaths, the flames covered his entire body.

Everyone turned pale and fell back. Yang Pojun, feeling helpless was about to rush forward to rescue him.

“Don’t go!” Fang Lin quickly stepped in and held Yang Pojun back, Qing Jianzi also rushed over to hold onto Yang Pojun.

Yang Pojun cursed and struggled, but Fang Lin and Qing Jianzi did not let go.

Soon, in less than half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the man was reduced to a pile of frightful white bones, and the blue flame continued to burn his bones.

This scene made everyone turn pale. Yang Pojun was consumed with rage. The one who died was a member of his royal family. They just arrived at the Endless Dungeon and already lost one person.

“Why did you two stop me from saving him?” Yang Pojun, simple-minded, immediately roared at Fang Lin and Qing Jianzi.

Fang Lin replied coldly, “If you don’t want to die, feel free to touch that flame right now. We won’t stop you.”

When he heard that, Yang Pojun instantly calmed down.

However, seeing the horrifying white bones, Yang Pojun still felt a twinge of remorse.

“Look! The bug is still there!” Suddenly a shout sounded, causing everyone to look up, draining all color from their faces.

The bug, whose body was flickering with blue flames, was hovering above, as if looking for its next target.

Qing Jianzi immediately took action, swinging his Wandering Dragon Sword at the bug.

But the bug was too fast. Despite Qing Jianzi’s agility, it managed to dodge his attack.

“Ah! No!” A young girl from the Li Family screamed in horror as the bug swooped down on her, and a blue flame immediately rose from her body.

Li Tongtian looked terrible, but also didn’t dare to do anything. The blue fire was terrifying; a touch would set the whole body aflame. Even with Li Tongtian’s strength, he felt his heart pounding.

Members of the Li Family also retreated, far away from the girl enveloped by the blue flames. Everyone watched in horror as she writhed in pain on the ground.

Fang Lin took a deep breath. He was also helpless because he too dared not touch the blue flames.

Like the previous royal family member, this girl from the Li family soon turned into a charred corpse in a matter of moments. An extremely tragic sight.

For a moment, fear gripped everyone’s hearts. The little bug seemed like the Grim Reaper, reaping lives at will. As long as it swooped towards someone, that person would be burned alive.

“What the hell is this thing?” someone trembled as they spoke,

Just then, Fang Lin suddenly looked towards the left passage. His expression was extremely ugly.
