Chapter 2502 My Treat
"Huh?"
Austin was surprised by the sudden request. After thinking for a while, he realized what the spirit of
holy stone was referring to.
"Fine, you can have it," he agreed.
He flicked his finger and a golden bead flew out and floated before the spirit of holy stone.
The spirit of holy stone took the bead and retreated far away. It didn''t stop until it was millions of miles
away from Austin.
A momentter, lightning appeared in the area where the spirit of holy stone was located, illuminating
the space.
Austin, on the other hand,nded on the ground and found himself a quiet dense forest. He sat cross-
legged with his eyes closed and began meditating.
He had learned a lot from his regr battles with the spirit of holy stone.
So he needed toe up with a n and a battle strategy of how he was going to gain victory in their
next battle.
A few hours passed while Austin was still in this state.
Whoosh!
A powerful figure then appeared in the forest not far from where Austin was meditating.
The spirit of holy stone made its presence known.
Austin narrowed his eyes at the increase in power he could perceive.
''It seems it sessfully made a breakthrough. The energy pressure it is releasing is several times
stronger than before.
Looks like it has also learned a lot from the regr fights we have been having, ''
Austin thought as he stood up warily.
"Young man, I have to admit that you are very bold and fearless.
You have be so audacious that now you can even dare to treat me like a training object," the spirit
of holy stone said in an indifferent tone.
It was hard to tell from its tone of voice whether it was happy or angry.
"But this is my first time to encounter such an interesting young man like you.
Although you have robbed me of many treasures, I have decided in my benevolence to let you go.
However, one of the treasures, the scripture which I think you have already read, is still in your
possession.
It is one of the top treasures in our race. Unfortunately, it can''t be in the hands of outsiders.
So you have to give it back to me,"
the spirit of holy stone said to Austin, as it reached out its hand and opened its palm.
"Okay, I guess your request is reasonable."
After thinking for a while, Austin waved his hand. Two small stones flew out and floated in front of the
spirit of holy stone.
The spirit of holy stone put away the two stones.
"Come with me.
Now we''re friends. Young man, would you care to have a drink with me? My treat,"
the spirit of holy stone invited.
In fact, it admired and appreciated Austin''s talent.
It still couldn''t believe that such a young man from the human race could fight with it so many times and
still hold his own. If this got out, it would be explosive news in the universe.
"What? Is this true? Are you offering me drinks for real?"
Austin was stunned.
''This guy is interesting. He spares me and now wants to buy me drinks without any ulterior motives?''
"Ha-ha! You are very generous.
Thank you for the offer. Sure I will join you,"
Austin replied.
Austin was not a narrow-minded person. And he didn''t think that the spirit of holy stone was the
cunning and evil type. Hence, he thought it was not a bad idea to make acquaintance with it.
Soon the two of them arrived at the golden pce.
"Come here, young man, let me introduce these people to you. They are all my n members..."
The spirit of holy stone raised the jade cup of the special crystal and greeted Austin warmly.
''No way! How is it that there are so many spirits of holy stone?''
Austin was inwardly shocked.
At that moment, there were eight spirits of holy stone in the pce.
Moreover, each of them could match a cultivator at the Immortal Saint Realm.
''If the eight spirits of holy stone had attacked me together back then, I would have been torn into bits
and pieces...''
Austin smiled bitterly.
All the spirits of holy stone toasted Austin enthusiastically.
They were impressed by Austin''s strength and thought highly of him.
In the past ten days, they had been watching the fights between Austin and the spirit of holy stone
secretly.
In the pce, there was a huge stone table, on which various kinds of precious natural resources and
jars of wine were ced.
"Austin, this wine was brewed by shining spiritual stone essence that has been carefully preserved for
about a million years. It is the most precious wine in our race.
I hope you will enjoy it and enjoy ourpany too."
"Here you are. This is the stone king fruit. The stone king tree blooms every one hundred thousand
years and bears fruits every one hundred thousand years. Try this."
It was clear that the eight spirits of holy stone loved wines. They had drunk so much that they could no
longer speak clearly and staggered anytime they tried to walk around.
''The wine and precious natural resources are masculine treasures. They are helpful for me to practice
the Golden Sun Scripture!'' Austin eximed inwardly.
He didn''t refuse the many offers that they gave him. He drank and ate as much as he could.
The eight spirits of holy stone and Austin would not get tipsy no matter how much wine they drank.
However, the wine made with the shining spiritual stone essence contained too much energy.
As a result, they were unable to think clearly.
"Come on, let''s drink the divine wine!" Austin said.
Austin was very happy. With a wave of his hand, he took out a few jars of the divine wine and poured it
for the spirits of holy stone.
He had obtained the divine wine in the Fallen Immortal World.
"Great. I''ll try your wine..."
The eight spirits of holy stone beamed as they put their hands on Austin''s shoulders.
Within a short time, Austin and the eight spirits of holy stone had be good friends.
During their conversation, Austin found out that the eight spirits of holy stone had been given a
nickname in the Ancient Forbidden Land; they were known as the Eight Stone Saints.
The one that had been having fights with Austin ranked forth, and its name was Rhys.
A few hourster, the hall was in a mess.
Austin and the Eight Stone Saints were lying on the ground,pletely drunk.
They were about to fall asleep.
When all of a sudden, the space outside the pce shook violently.
Bang! Bang!
The endless energy that was produced like a vast ocean, swept towards the pce.
Crack! Crack!
Due to the intensity of the approaching energy, cracks began to appear everywhere on the walls of the
pce.
"Come out and answer for the consequences of your actions, Eight Stone Saints!"
A shrill voice was heard, echoing throughout the pce.
All of a sudden, Austin and the Eight Stone Saints woke up from their alcohol-induced stupor and
jumped up to their feet.
"Humph, that sounds like they''re from the devil insect race!
How dare they break into our ce and provoke us openly!"
Enraged, the Eight Stone Saints rushed out in a sh.
Austin followed them out of the pce.
''What the hell is happening here? What are these strange creatures?''
Austin was shocked by what he saw.
He looked around, only to find ck beetles.
There was a terrifyingly huge number that surrounded the whole pce.
The beetles had a hard shell, sharp ws, and a big mouth.
"Austin, these are a kind of exotic bugs, the gold-devouring devil bug.
Their weapon is their teeth. They can bite anything in the world,"
Rhys said to Austin through its spiritual sense.
"The gold-devouring devil bug? Their name is just as exotic as their features."
Austin was stunned.
To be honest, Austin didn''t know much about the insects because he seldom met them in his
adventures.
It was the first time that Austin had heard of the gold-devouring devil bug.
"Humph! How dare you, Eight Stone Saints? You sneaked into our sacrednd and stole our treasure.
I''m going to make you all pay for it with your lives!"
An evil bug that was bigger than the other bugs walked out of the crowd and stared at the Eight Stone
Saints with cold eyes, full of killing intent.
"Don''t provoke us, you annoying bugs.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
When did we break into your sacred ce and steal your treasure?
Do you have any proof? If not, shut up and get out of here before we destroy you.
Don''t think we are cowards and will not fight back,"
Asa, one of the Eight Stone Saints shouted in a cold voice.
"He''s right.
Don''t think we are afraid of you because we are outnumbered.
I personally have long been sick of you!
I wouldn''t mind fighting and killing all of you!" Wesley, one of Eight Stone Saints bellowed, pointing at
the gold-devouring devil bugs.
He was a very temperamental guy.
"Don''t think that you can get away with your transgression by pretending that you are innocent. There
is a Devil Pollen Tracking Array in our sacred ce.
We can track down any intruders who have broken into our sacred ce,"
the evil bug in charge sneered.
