nYe Dai was confused upon trying to check the strange spear that they had just found. His spirit sense could not penetrate it and it was as if there was an impenetrable wall of steel in front of him. He had never encountered anything like this before, but knew that there were certain things that could do this.

nBut the things that could do this were way beyond his capabilities. They were treasures and materials that were intended for higher level cultivators. Ye Dai even had the fortune of observing a peak tier spirit weapon once before. But he was able to scan even that with his spirit sense, which only made this a bigger enigma for him.

nStill, he did not want to say anything to the young master before he knew for sure what it was. Thus he decided to continue onward and touch the unique looking spear. He extended his hand and wrapped his fingers around the shaft of the spear.

nAs soon as he touched it, an image appeared in his mind for a moment. The image was blurry and was as if it was hidden behind a fog. He couldn't tell what kind of creature it was, but knew that it was huge. So huge that he himself seemed to be the size of an ant.

nCrimson red eyes that had a purplish outline gazed from behind that fog and looked at Ye Dai. For a moment there, absolute terror filled his being and cold sweat appeared on his back. But in the very next instant, everything disappeared, and it was as if he had imagined everything, but Ye Dai knew it was not so.

n'What was that? That… creature… it scared my bloodline?' Ye Dai thought.

nYe Dai was not ordered to check the spear just randomly by Young Master Shirong, rather it was because of his unique investigational skills that he had. These skills were only complemented by the bloodline that he had assimilated.

nYe Dai had assimilated the bloodline of a spirit beast called as the truth sniffer shrew. While this beast did not have a strong offensive ability, its bloodline ability was rather useful. The bloodline ability that the truth sniffer shrew had was able to sense and detect threats along with being able to appraise items.

nThis was the reason why Young Master Shirong had chosen him. Though this did not mean Ye Dai was weak. No, rather he was one of the stronger cultivators in this group being at the late stage of the Core condensation realm just below Young Master Shirong himself.

n'This is certainly no common spear. I cannot tell the origin of its craftsmanship… it's as if it was made from a single piece of emerald gem. This crystalline green body, it is completely in a single piece there are no additional parts or components.' Ye Dai analyzed.

nYe Dai's change in expression was noticed by the others and some of them got a little tense. They wondered what he had found out and were expectant. In their gazes, what was in front of him was obviously a treasure, but they did not know if there was danger hiding in it.

n

"What's the problem Ye Dai?

" Young Master Shirong asked.

nYe Dai had a complex expression on his face as he heard Young Master Shoring's words.

n

"I do not know yet, please wait a little bit.

" Ye Dai replied in a serious tone.

nYoung Master Shirong saw the look on Ye Dai's face and his tone of voice, which made him apprehensive. Shirong knew of Ye Dai's abilities, and this was the very reason he had included him in the party. It had taken him a long time to get an approval for an expedition like this, and he wanted to be sure that he had the right kind of people with him.

nShirong did not want to have any unfortunate incidents, thus ensured that the team had people who could handle most if not all situations. He chose his companions such that his team was balanced in all aspects such as offense, defense, and reconnaissance.

nFor expeditions, one of the most important aspects was to have investigational and intelligence abilities. For this very reason, he had chosen Ye Dai and trusted in him.

nHaving grasped the shaft of the green crystal spear, Ye Dai tried lifting it only to find it stuck in the ground. He put his other hand on it and pulled it up, but upon doing so there was no result.

n

"What?! Is it attached to something in the ground?

" Ye Dai wondered as he then scanned the ground with his spirit sense, only to find out that the spear was not attached to anything and was simply stuck there.

nYe Dai poured spirit qi into his arms and amplified his strength. Then with a grunt, he pulled out the spear.

n

"Whoa, this… is… Heavy!

" Ye Dai said with shock.

nWhile Ye Dai said this, Lin Wu was thinking about something else in his mind.

n

"No ** sherlock, I compressed my size to this smaller form. Did you really think I would be light?

" Lin Wu said in his mind, but did not dare to utter it out loud.

nLin Wu himself actually did not know how much he weighed, as there was nothing that mentioned it in the host data.

n

"Hmm system, how much do I actually weigh in my full size?

" Lin Wu questioned in his mind.

n~Ding~

n——

nANSWER: The host weighs approximately 2568.21 kilograms.

n——

n

"…

"

n

"Say what?

" Lin Wu stuttered.

n

"The host weighs approximately 2568.21 kilograms.

" The system repeated.

n

"…

"

n

"What the hell! I'm nearly as heavy as an elephant!

" Lin Wu said with shock.

nLin Wu knew that he was heavy seeing his size, but did not expect for himself to be so heavy. He had thought that he was a few hundred kilograms heavy but had no way to estimate it. Besides, his size had changed multiple times over the past few days and thus his perception was a bit skewed.
