Li Ang lightly tapped the tip of the Tyrant Halberd on the stone.
The metal blade tip made a crisp, pleasant sound when it touched the stone's surface.
"It seems that after the magical beast stole the stone, it swallowed it and has been preserving it until now."
Li Ang pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "But, why?"
"Perhaps the stone itself has special properties other than just opening the Holy Mountain Gate?"
Wu Dai said calmly, "Like some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, consuming them can lead to the evolution of demons."
"Doesn't seem like it."
Li Ang shook his head, "This Shadow Monster, under the influence of Corpse Qi, has been in a state of hibernation with almost no metabolism, so its stomach naturally hasn't activated any digestive function.
Apart from some sticky bloodstains, there's no sign of corrosion on the stone's surface—even if it were a heavenly material and earthly treasure, wouldn't it still need digestion to take effect?
